It appeared!
Brand new intel about that Latias!
Kawaki was quite excited. From the looks of this intel, it seemed that if he could make apple pie,
this Swellow in front of him could help him invite the siblings Latias and Latios to the Breeding House?
Clearly, this was an excellent opportunity to meet a legendary Pokémon.
However, those two Pokémon were, after all, legendary Pokémon, and with his current strength, capturing them would be incredibly difficult.
Kawaki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But he quickly thought of another method.
Since he couldn't defeat them, he would use delicious food to entice them to stay!
Although the success rate was low, where there's a will, there's a way, right?
Thinking of this, Kawaki immediately said to the Swellow in front of him:
"You must come to the Breeding House tomorrow morning! I'll make you delicious Energy Cubes!"
Swellow nodded with anticipation.
Swellow had already filled its stomach today. It affectionately rubbed its head against the human's cheek, then flapped its wings, turned, and flew away.
Kawaki then returned to the Breeding House.
Before he officially started making apple pie, he still had one thing to do.
He took some nutritional and energy-boosting potions to the shed, and sure enough, that Bulbasaur had already woken up.
Seeing Kawaki approach, it was startled and instinctively wanted to hide.
But its path was blocked by Gastly.
"Bulbasaur?!"
Bulbasaur turned its head and saw Gastly grinning at it.
"Kukuku!"
"Your guts are really getting bigger and bigger," Kawaki said with a laugh, watching Gastly's actions. "When you first came to the Breeding House, you used to hide in fear whenever you saw someone approaching."
Hearing this, Gastly looked a bit embarrassed: "Kukuku!"
Kawaki placed the Energy Cube in front of Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur then looked up at this human.
"Bulbasaur..."
"Eat, Bulbasaur," Kawaki said to it with a smile. "I've received your good intentions, but you don't have to secretly tend to the vegetables in the fields at night anymore."
"Bulbasaur---" Bulbasaur was startled at first; its actions had been discovered!
But it didn't know what it thought of, and quickly shook its head: "Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur!"
And at this moment, Kawaki saw a line of text in Bulbasaur's introduction.
[Bulbasaur wants to help here!]
Kawaki smiled slightly, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to stay and help in the farmland?"
Bulbasaur nodded happily: "Bulbasaur!"
It felt bad always eating and drinking for free here, so it also wanted to help out!
"I see--" Kawaki pondered for a moment, then added, "If you really want to help, then from now on, you can take care of those vegetables with Oddish!"
"Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur's eyes lit up.
It was Kawaki's first time encountering a Pokémon that wanted to work proactively, but overworking like before was not allowed.
Therefore, he instructed, "However, you can't do that anymore. If you're tired, rest.
If you can't finish in the morning, do it in the afternoon, otherwise, it would be terrible if you collapsed from exhaustion."
Coupled with his assistance, promptly replenishing their nutrition and energy, neither Bulbasaur nor Oddish would suffer physical depletion due to excessive consumption.
This was one of the roles of a Breeder.
"Bulbasaur~"
Bulbasaur happily agreed.
After these few days of getting along, it had already grown fond of this place!
In that case, could it consider this place its home now?
Bulbasaur looked over with hope.
"Welcome to the team, Bulbasaur." Kawaki reached out and stroked Bulbasaur's head.
Bulbasaur's happiness immediately began to rise.
[Bulbasaur's mood increased, Happiness +60, obtained Bulbasaur's gift: "Vine Whip" TM.]
[TM (Vine Whip): A Grass-type move that attacks opponents by whipping them with thin, flexible vines. Usages: 9999/9999.]
Vine Whip...
For Grass-type Pokémon, it was a decent offensive move.
"Kukuku!"
Gastly floated over from the side, "And me, and me!"
Kawaki also reached out and stroked Gastly.
Only then was Gastly satisfied.
Not far away, Chansey watched this scene with gentle eyes, seemingly happy for Bulbasaur and Gastly.
Ralts's eyes showed envy, but it did not approach.
Ditto blinked its small eyes, watching this scene, not knowing what it was thinking.
As for Abra...
Abra was still sleeping.
Kawaki looked at the few Pokémon here, then, as if by magic, took out a batch of snacks and Energy Cubes suitable for most Pokémon's tastes and placed them in front of them.
"Chansey, Ralts, Ditto, and Abra, this is the dinner I prepared for you. Please enjoy!"
After speaking, Kawaki bid farewell to the Pokémon and turned to leave the area.
He still had important matters to attend to.
In the Breeding House's kitchen, under the watchful eyes of the two chef Clefairy, Kawaki officially began making apple pie.
As Kawaki knew, apple pie in this world originated from the Western Galar region. Unlike the Japanese-style cuisine full of regional characteristics in the Hoenn region, apple pie was full of Western flavors. Apple pies came in different shapes, sizes, and flavors, such as caramel apple pie, French apple pie, crumble apple pie, cream apple pie, and so on.
Kawaki wasn't sure which specific flavor of apple pie that Latias preferred, so after a moment of thought,
he decided to make a little of each kind.
"Clefairy--?"
The chef Clefairy watched Kawaki's production process with curiosity.
Kawaki smiled and introduced, "This is apple pie, a very distinctive dessert."
Starting tomorrow, he could add this "apple pie" to the Bewear Inn's menu.
The cost of this dessert was very low, only requiring apples, flour, and butter to make, and the production process was very simple.
With the Clefairy's intelligence, they would probably learn very quickly.
Soon, the first batch of apple pies was finished.
Golden, crispy crust, wrapped around sweet and soft apple filling, intertwining into an enticing deliciousness.
The Clefairy watched, drooling madly.
"Try it first, and I'll teach you how to make it later." Kawaki handed the finished apple pies to the two chef Clefairy.
The freshly baked apple pies were still a bit hot.
The two chef Clefairy ate somewhat cautiously.
However, when they tasted the apple pie, their eyes immediately lit up.
"Clefairy~!"
It proved that his cooking skills were still very good.
"Not bad, right?" When it came to his cooking skills, Kawaki felt a little proud.
It was fortunate that it was him; if it were someone who didn't know how to cook, even if they knew Latias and Latios liked apple pie, they might not be able to seize this opportunity.
Looking at the apple pies in front of him, Kawaki's heart couldn't help but begin to look forward to tomorrow.
All was ready, now all that remained was for Swellow to arrive!
