You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 176 Even if Daigo brings ten more boxes of Moo Moo fresh milk, it won't make a difference!
Tuesday, October 12th.

Early in the morning, the hardworking Chef Yu was already busy in the kitchen, preparing to cook a couple of dishes for Zhu Lanlu on the last day.

He will be heading to Sinnoh with Cynthia this afternoon, so today will be his last day in Padia this year.

Therefore, we should prepare a little surprise.

As for the sense of ritual, Qingyu may not claim to have much, but she does have a little bit.

However, after working for an hour and a half, he suddenly realized—

He didn't overestimate his sense of ritual, but he seemed to underestimate his culinary skills.

"Buy~"

Floating leisurely from the bedroom, Eevee was about to skillfully jump onto the table, using its actions to urge its trainer to serve breakfast.

But when he entered the kitchen and saw Qingyu deep in thought, and the indescribable blob of paste in his hand, Ibu quickly realized that he might have been a bit hasty today.

"Buyi!"

After letting out a scream, Ibu immediately ran back to the bedroom, pretending that he was still asleep.

"..."

Seeing that the berry porridge in his hand had easily scared away Eevee, Qingyu's expression was complicated for a moment.

If you take this thing to the wilderness, will it be more effective than spray?

Could it be that all of his talents were actually focused on being a prop craftsman?

But the taste should be alright, and each kind of fruit is nutritious; it's just that the appearance is a bit poor!

Qingyu scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, experiencing a strange texture that, while not particularly flavorful, was somewhat slippery. She immediately fell silent.

It seems the taste isn't very good either?

Just as he was seriously considering whether to dump his carefully prepared work down the drain, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Then, looking exhausted, Millerton squinted into the kitchen, skillfully lay down on the floor, and made weak, listless sounds.

"Gah..."

Qingyu scratched his head, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and tentatively offered the food in his hand to Millerton.

"If you're hungry, would you like to eat this first?"

Millerton, who seemed to be still asleep, did not open his eyes. In a daze, he saw Qingyu hand him a bowl of food and opened his mouth without thinking.

"Gah?!"

After taking a small bite, Millerton instantly perked up and scrambled out of the kitchen at lightning speed.

"..."

Watching its hasty departure, Qingyu quickly gave up struggling.

It seems my cooking skills are still too advanced.

Let's wait until the berries and other ingredients evolve to a level that can keep up with our own before we have to be patient.

……

"Well--"

When Zhu Lan (in pink pajamas), with her hair disheveled and yawning while covering her face, walked out of the room, sandwiches and miso soup were already laid out on the dining table.

"Morning."

Qingyu waved and greeted him.

"I overslept today, so I'll have to make do with this for now. I'll treat you to a big meal at the restaurant when we get back to Sinnoh."

"It's okay, a lighter diet is fine too."

Zhu Lan smiled and didn't mind, quickly walking into the washroom.

After Zhulan left, Eevee, who had heard the commotion, ran from the room to Qingyu.

After confirming that the food on the table wasn't a culinary disaster but a normal sandwich, she shed a few tears of emotion. Seeing this, Qingyu's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Logically speaking, given Eevee's tendency to evolve at any moment, its friendship level should be maxed out.

But why can't I feel at all that Eevee is a cute and sweet little girl...?

When Zhu Lan reappeared, she had returned to her usual energetic self, and it seemed she had slept well the night before.

Is the flight this afternoon?

Sitting at the dining table, Zhu Lan suddenly asked a question.

Because their only means of transportation, Milton, has been banned, Qingyu doesn't have any Pokémon that can fly yet, so they can only travel long distances by plane.

Although this world has many Pokémon that are convenient for carrying people, it is clear that only a few can be caught.

Therefore, various modern means of transportation also exist.

It is also mentioned in the game.

Airports in Unova, taxis in Kalos, and rideable Pokémon in various regions together constitute the modes of transportation in the Pokémon world.

"Well, after we finish eating, we should get ready to leave and head to Tabletop City to wait for our flight."

As Qingyu spoke, the precious dragon, which appeared with an arrogant gait, quickly appeared at his feet and skillfully used "Charge".

Qingyu has gradually gotten used to its behavior of acting cute as soon as it sees you, and picked it up and put it on the table.

"I've also prepared some Moo Moo fresh milk for you, drink it quickly."

After stroking its head, which was as hard as a rock, Qingyu smiled.

Young Pokémon haven't even grown teeth yet, so they can only get the necessary nutrition from MooMoo milk, a point mentioned on the first page of Blue Green's breeding notes.

However, the baby period passes very quickly for Pokémon.

About a week later, the baby dragon's teeth will begin to grow, and then it can eat normally.

After a simple breakfast, before setting off, Qingyu took out the evolution stone he had obtained from Rayquaza from his pocket.

After processing, the evolution stone is now embedded in a pendant that fits perfectly around the baby dragon's neck.

"Are you planning to let Baby Dragon wear this evolution stone forever?"

Zhu Lan immediately understood Qing Yu's thoughts.

"Hmm, maybe it will be good for it."

Qingyu nodded.

According to Mr. Genji's suggestion, Baby Dragon should carry this special evolution stone from a young age to help it get used to the power of Mega Evolution as soon as possible.

Perhaps after evolving into Salamence, it can Mega Evolve without an evolution stone, just like Rayquaza?
In the game, Mega Rayquaza's strength comes not only from its own stats and its ability to counter Primal and Reverted Pokémon, but also largely from its ability to Mega Evolve without needing an Evolution Stone.

If Salamence could also be unlocked without items, even if Steven carried ten boxes of Moo Moo Milk, it wouldn't make a difference!
Under Qingyu's expectant gaze, the baby dragon, who had just burped, quickly noticed the pendant in his hand.

Although the baby dragon is still very small and its brain has not yet fully developed, it still vaguely remembers that the things on it seem to have come from that big guy who looked like he could fly yesterday.

If I had this, would I be able to fly freely into the sky like it?
Without a second thought, the precious dragon, who had dreamed of flying since childhood, opened its mouth wide in Qingyu's gratified gaze.

Then--

Qingyu's expression instantly turned to terror, and she immediately picked up the baby dragon.

My little darling, why did you eat the evolution stone?

Even if you wanted to hide props, you shouldn't hide them like this!

Fortunately, given the current size of the baby dragon, it couldn't swallow the evolution stone at all, and Qingyu easily took it out of the dragon's mouth.

After what almost turned into a disaster, he quickly sighed.

This silly goose is really giving me a lot of trouble!
