Chapter 132:
At noon, the rain had eased slightly, but the wind was still strong and rain are still falling heavily.
Fortunately, the Berry Plantation in Aogiri Town had been harvested early.
Otherwise, the torrential downpour would have flooded the fields, soaking the Berries.
anwhile, in the garden of the plantation, an invisible psychic barrier blocked the rain outside, forming a giant, unseen "umbrella."
Under the "umbrella," Hayashi Kaede and a group of Pokémon were introducing Eevee.
"This is Eevee, a friend who found us through the storm. It will likely live with us from now on. Everyone, please welco it."
"Alcremie~"
The first to greet it were the Alcremie.
They had been staying in the Breeding House, so Eevee’s presence wasn’t surprising to them. They even felt a little sorry for the drenched little Eevee.
Seeing that Eevee had recovered, they offered a warm welco.
"Alcremie~" (Would you like so of our cream? Hayashi Kaede said our cream has magical properties~)
"Alcremie~"
"Combusken!" (Hahaha, finally a companion who looks weaker than ...)
Combusken was brimming with excitent, feeling that a Pokémon that looked even weaker than it had finally arrived at the plantation.
As for the Pidgeotto, Vulpix, Bounsweet, and Squirtle in the pine tree, it had automatically ignored them.
They were either its "wealth-sharing" companions or Pokémon that could provide Hayashi Kaede with ingredients.
They were incomparable.
"Serperior ..."
Serperior didn’t react much, simply responding indifferently to show it understood. The slight sway of its tail betrayed its inner unease as it glanced at Eevee from the corner of its eye.
It pondered silently.
"As expected, it still prefers Pokémon it can hold in its arms?" "
Eevee~"
Facing so many gazes, Eevee felt both unfamiliar and shy, unsure how to react, and could only stand stiffly on the round table.
The more docile Dragonite tried to co closer for a better look at the little Eevee, but once it approached, its sheer size frightened Eevee, causing it to step back, its fur standing on end.
Seeing the sowhat embarrassed Dragonite, Eevee felt a sense of unease.
Pokémon like these, raised in human Breeding Houses, are generally educated and aware that their Trainers likely already have a wide variety of Pokémon.
Therefore, seeing Hayashi Kaede’s vast collection wasn’t particularly surprising.
However, dragonite enormous size was too intimidating for the small Eevee.
"Eevee?"
The understanding Gardevoir quickly noticed Eevee’s embarrassnt and waved it off, looking at Hayashi Kaede. "Gardevoir." (Alright, Kaede, go get the food.)
Hayashi Kaede nodded.
He took so commonly consud Energy Cubes from his storage bag, wrapped them with psychic power, and distributed them to each Pokémon. Then he went back to the kitchen and thought, *A rainy day calls for sothing warm.*
So, he cooked a pot of hot noodle soup and fried so pork cutlets.
After distributing the food with psychic power, Hayashi Kaede didn’t imdiately take it to the garden.
Instead, he went to the shed.
Inside, the Miltank were enjoying the rainy scenery, happily devouring Honey-infused Grass Dumplings. They rarely eat anything else, so they preferred to stay inside the shed for "als" like this.
Because of the rain, the Combee finally took a break today, quietly staying in their hive.
However, they also reported to Hayashi Kaede, as if they were afraid their "queen" would reprimand them for not working.
This made Hayashi Kaede laugh and cry. Of course, he wouldn’t bla them.
They were already producing a lot of Honey, and the quality was gradually improving.
However, Hayashi Kaede’s focus this ti wasn’t on them.
Instead, it was on the oak barrel in the corner of the shed.
Although well sealed, the shed was already perated with the aroma of wine.
This indicated that the Berry Wine was ready.
Hayashi Kaede approached a wooden barrel and uncorked it, releasing a rich, refreshing aroma.
He was sowhat impatient to examine the brewed Berry Wine.
[Grade A Berry Wine—Crafted from pure Grepa Berries, ticulously peeled, fernted, and brewed, this Berry Wine has a soothing effect on Pokémon.
Cooking Effect 1: Long-term consumption increases the speed of Psychic power developnt by 30%. Long-term consumption by the participant (those that participated on producing this wine) increases the speed of Psychic power developnt by 75%.
Cooking Effect 2: Heart-warming. Pokémon that consu it together within a short period will grow closer.]
"Hmm?" Hayashi Kaede’s eyes lit up at the sight of these two effects. He had been trying to hone his Psychic powers recently, using them to lift heavy objects or perform delicate operations in daily life. However, he found that while this improved his Psychic power sowhat, the increase was modest, so he didn’t actively practice. Now, this cooking effect actually has an even greater superpower-boosting effect on the creator. *Looks like I’ll have to save so for myself~* "Also, it has a bonding effect, which will improve the relationships between Pokémon..." The Pokémon’s ability to get along is also sothing Hayashi Kaede is concerned about.
