My Pokémon Story of Seasons

The pink surface of the Bofen rosewood gleamed with an alluring sheen, and the sweet aroma of tree fruit permeated the entire cabin.

"It looks... like it worked?"

Tong Hua carefully used a wooden shovel to take out the Bao Fen (a type of fruit). They were all round and plump, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Oh my god!" "Terrifying!"

Sweet Wuni and Foam Squirrel couldn't wait to reach out and grab it, but Tong Hua stopped them.

"Wait a minute, it's still too hot."

Tong Hua stared intently at the baking tray of Bao Fen in her hand, carefully studying the information panels that appeared on it.

[Happy Poffin: Quality B. A Pokémon treat made from a mixture of berries. It has a smooth, pinkish exterior and an enticing sweet aroma, making it a favorite among Pokémon.]

[Effect: Medium Friendship Increase, Small Status Recovery. Consuming this Pokémon slightly restores its HP and permanently increases its friendship with its Trainer. (Only applies to Pokémon.)]

Luck Boost (Small): Permanently increases luck, effective only once.

[Review: A classic flavor that's sweet but not cloying, perfect for strengthening your bond with Pokémon. Adding more rare berries might further enhance its effects.]

Recommended processing method (alchemy).

Tong Hua's eyes lit up immediately. She hadn't expected to produce a B-grade Baofen on her first try, and with such a great result!

When it comes to luck, Tong Hua immediately thinks of random events such as hitting vital points or dodging attacks during battles.

Alternatively, the additional effects of the move will always be triggered, allowing you to use the maximum number of times each time you use a multi-hit move.

Besides, even in daily life, what kind of wonderful changes would occur if luck, such a mysterious thing, could be quantified or even improved with numerical values?

Tong Hua excitedly held Bao Fen in her arms, her mind already filled with countless possibilities.

Unfortunately, the information panel stated that it could only be effective once, and Tong Hua didn't know exactly how much of an improvement it could achieve.

He crouched down and gently broke open the still-steaming Baofen cookie. Crumbs and pieces of the cookie fell to the ground, where Foam Squirrel angrily swept them up.

"Here, be careful, it's hot."

Sweet Wu Ni took it with both hands, took a bite without waiting, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with happiness.

"Ah, ma~"

"Terrifying!"

The foam squirrel jumped up, took Baofen from Tong Hua's hand, and began to nibble on it in small bites.

The fragrance of Bao Fen quickly wafted out of the window, and everyone in the field stopped what they were doing and sniffed it carefully.

"What does this taste like?"

"It smells so good..."

Lu Mei and Huang Yao looked around and then saw Tong Hua come out carrying a plate of food.

"Game!" "Fufu!"

The forest turtle and Mini Fu saw that Sweet Wuni and Foam Chipmunk were eating something with relish next to Tong Hua, so they quickly ran over.

Tong Hua looked at the forest tortoise and Mini Fu running over, and squatted down with a smile: "Don't rush, don't rush, there's enough for everyone."

The fragrance of Bao Fen wafted in the breeze, and the forest turtle and Mini Fu couldn't wait to get close to Tong Hua's feet, tilting their heads up with bright eyes.

Tong Hua smiled and took two whole bacons from the baking tray, offering them to their mouths.

"Be careful, it's hot. Eat slowly."

Mini Fu cheered and began to nibble at the food, her eyes squinting with happiness.

The forest tortoise, on the other hand, was much more composed. It lowered its head to sniff, then slowly took a bite, followed by a satisfied hum.

"Mr. Tong Hua, did you make this?"

Ritsumi and Akira walked over and looked on in surprise at how much the Pokémon were enjoying their food.

"Hmm, this is my first time making it, and I didn't expect it to taste so good."

You should try some too.

Tong Hua took two exquisite Bao Fen from the baking tray and handed them to Lu Mei and Huang Yao.

The pink Bo Fen fruit gleamed like pearls in the sunlight, and you could vaguely see the fruit particles mixed in inside.

"This..." Ritsumi hesitated before taking it, her fingers feeling a perfectly warm touch.

"It smells pretty good, but I remember that Poffin is a snack for Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, right?"

Is it really safe for humans to eat?

Before Ritsumi could finish speaking, Hwangyo next to her had already taken a big bite, his eyes widening immediately: "Tree fruit and honey, and an indescribable sweetness, initially cloyingly sweet, but with a lingering sweetness!"

And the crispy outside and tender inside texture is even more delicious than the school's signature pastries!

Hearing this professional evaluation, Tong Hua couldn't help but blush.

"Oh dear, I actually tasted it myself just now, it was really just something I made on a whim. Don't exaggerate like that..."

Seeing Huang Yao's reaction, Ritsumi also took a bite.

She gently bit off a piece, the delicate pastry crumbling between her lips and teeth, and the rich aroma of tree fruits instantly bursting in her mouth.

"Mmm...!" Ritsumi's eyes widened slightly. The sweetness on her tongue was just right, a blend of the rich aroma of honey and the freshness of tree fruit, which made her unable to resist taking another bite.

"It really...is delicious." She admitted somewhat shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Seeing the satisfied expressions on their faces, Tong Hua felt a surge of accomplishment.

He glanced down at the remaining Poffins in the baking pan, then looked at the other Pokémon on the distant ranch, and smiled, "Looks like it'll work. I'll make more in the future."

……

Tong Hua made sure that everyone and every Pokémon on the ranch ate one of the first batch of Pofen made.

Because we want to know if the increase in luck value will have different effects on individuals, we need to make sure that everyone eats at least one.

The raccoon family and the queen bee family were naturally also present. In fact, Tong Hua even broke Bao Fen into pieces and fed it to the carp kings in the pond.

It's unclear whether breaking the Baofen into pieces would still increase luck; in any case, not a single Baofen from the first batch was left.

"Ama ama!"

Seeing that the baking tray was empty, Tian Wuni was still not satisfied and started to act coquettishly, pulling on Tong Hua's arm.

It was already six o'clock in the evening, almost time for dinner, so Tong Hua naturally didn't choose to cook another dish.

Snacks may be delicious, but how can you manage without eating proper meals?

Lu Mei and Huang Yao have already left. They seem to have found a hotel in Fengrao Town to stay temporarily. They have three days left of their vacation and plan to return the borrowed clothes later.

Tong Hua didn't seem to mind much; it was just a set of clothes, and he didn't care at all.

"I was originally planning to invite them to stay for dinner, but oh well, having eaten at Baofen means they've already tasted the flavors of Fairy Tale Ranch."

I imagine they'll become repeat customers once the store opens.

Just as Tong Hua was envisioning making a fortune by opening a dessert shop in the future, two sharp gazes came from behind him, making him feel a chill.

Looking back, I saw two shrines pressed their faces against the window, their four eyes fixed on the empty baking pan...

Tong Hua, in danger!

……

An hour later, Tong Hua served dinner and presented the two shrubs with a whole plate of specially made Happiness Buffon.

"Sorry, sorry! I promise I won't forget to save some for you next time!"

Tong Hua lowered her head and said apologetically.

What he didn't say was that he had actually saved two pieces, but Sweetie and Foam Squirrel secretly ate them...

"La beep!"

The two Silva babbles hugged Baofen, who was bigger than their own faces, and started munching on her. Every bite was sweet to the core!

good to eat!

Tong Hua watched the two of them eat it, wondering if the increased luck stat would have any effect on the Mythical Pokémon.

"It seems there were instances before where the effect wasn't very noticeable. It's probably because of the friendship level increase at the Pokémon House. All the other Pokémon are uncontrollably rubbing against my cheek, but the two Celebi are keeping their distance..."

However, this luck boost is a purely positive effect, and it's from a dish prepared by a chef, fundamentally different from a building made by a carpenter like a Pokémon House.

"La bah!" In just a few bites, the two Celebi devoured several Poffins in an instant.

"Eat less, have a proper meal first!"

Tong Hua snapped out of her thoughts and looked helplessly at the two Celebi, who simply wouldn't listen to her advice.

However, this also shows that the Happiness Baofen is indeed delicious.

It's so delicious that even mythical Pokémon would get addicted.

"Perhaps, opening a store can be put on the agenda soon..."
