The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 163 Dr. Oki's Research Findings

Jiang Yan immediately instructed the Sister with the rosy lips to begin the activity.

"Miss Mistie, use your telekinesis to stir the yolk of the Chansey egg, then pour it into the heated Moo Moo Milk—"

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's order, Jynx glanced at Kelena, and after receiving a signal from Kelena, she stretched out her hands, and her superpower aura instantly enveloped all the ingredients.

Under the control of psychic techniques, Chansey's yolk began to spin rapidly—

"Finally, use the fine snow technique to quickly set the shape at low temperatures."

Upon receiving the instruction, the sly-lipped woman waved her hand, and wisps of icy snow enveloped the paste in the bowl, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.

In just a few moments, a bowl of Moo Moo milk ice cream with a smooth texture and rich milky aroma was made.

Jiang Yan picked up the small spoon, took a bite, his eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but nod.

Although the taste wasn't as good as his homemade version, the texture was smooth and even, without any grainy feel, which was already quite good.

So Jiang Yan looked at Sister Mist and praised her without reservation.

"That's amazing, Sister Mistletoe! You have a real talent for cooking!"

Although the process of making Moo Moo Milk Ice Cream is not complicated, and he directed the whole process, the fact that she could do it to this extent not only proves that Jynx has reached a very high level of control over her superpowers, but also shows that she has a very strong talent for cooking.

"fan--!"

Upon receiving Jiang Yan's praise, the smirk-eyed girl's eyes curved into crescents. She happily spun around on the spot and waved to Kona as if she were taking credit for her achievement.

Kona picked up a small spoon and took a bite. The cool, milky flavor melted in her mouth, the sweetness was just right, and the smoothness was amazing.

Kona's face immediately lit up with surprise; she really hadn't expected that Jynx would have such a talent for cooking.

An idea quickly took shape in Kona's mind: let Sister Misty learn cooking from Jiang Yan.

Of course, Kona would never admit that she wanted to be able to eat delicious food in the future.

She just didn't want to waste Jynx's talent in cooking; it was a matter of responsibility to Pokémon.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Kona asked Sister Mistletoe about this and confirmed that she wanted to learn cooking before turning to Jiang Yan.

"Mr. Jiang Yan, Sister Mi Chun loves cooking and has a talent for it. I wonder if it could learn some culinary skills from you? I'm willing to pay the corresponding reward."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yan readily agreed, but did not ask for any reward.

This is a good opportunity for him to test how much of a role Psychic-type Pokémon can play in cooking.

If the results are good, training a Psychic-type Pokémon that can assist in cooking is also a good option.

However, Jiang Yan's target was not Jynx. Among the Pokémon with Psychic-type abilities, Gardevoir was the first choice!

After reaching a consensus, Jiang Yan and Sister Mi Chun tried making a few more snacks in the kitchen, and they all tasted very good.

Time flew by and it was already the third day since Lorelei arrived at Oak's lab.

During this time, Lorelei brought a lot of Pokémon and exchanged them for thirty BB Corns from Jiang Yan.

Dr. Oak, who had been working tirelessly in the lab analyzing data, finally came out that afternoon.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Yan and Kona quickly arrived.

When Jiang Yan and Kona met Professor Oak, Professor Oak was unusually excited, and Kona immediately asked him about it.

"Professor Oak, what were the results of the experiment? What are the actual effects of BB Corn on Pokémon?"

If the results far exceed expectations, then the Pokémon League will be willing to pay any price to acquire more BB Corn.

If the effect is only average, a small amount of exchange is sufficient.

Professor Oak took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said loudly.

"The results? Not just good, they were outstanding! Far exceeding my expectations!"

As he spoke, Professor Oak slammed the lab report on the table, pointed to the densely packed data, and began to explain it excitedly.

--------------

"The simplified Poké Block I made using BB Corn is more than five times more efficient at training Pokémon than the highest-level, top-tier Poké Block currently available in the League!"

"And this is just a hastily put together recipe; it's far from realizing the full potential of BB corn!"

"If the formulation is further optimized, the effects will only be more terrifying!"

"It can not only accelerate the growth rate of Pokémon, but also gently improve their aptitude and strengthen their basic physical stats."

O

"The effects are even more immediate on baby Pokémon, with absolutely no side effects!"

"According to the data—"

Dr. Oak spoke eloquently about various professional data, using a string of technical terms.

Jiang Yan listened with a blank expression, as if he were listening to gibberish.

Not only Jiang Yan, but also Kona, who was standing next to him, seemed to understand but not quite, and looked completely bewildered.

Professor Oak also noticed Jiang Yan and Lorelei's condition and knew that data alone could not directly reflect the effect.

He simply raised his hand and threw out two Poké Balls.

A red light flashed, and two Pokémon landed on the floor.

A green caterpillar is slowly wriggling its body;

Next to it was a fully evolved armored pupa, its shell hard and shiny.

Looking at these two ordinary Bug-type Pokémon, Jiang Yan and Lorelei exchanged a glance, both showing puzzled expressions.

The two then looked at Professor Oak, waiting for his explanation.

Professor Oak didn't keep them in suspense any longer, pointing to the two Pokémon and explaining in a solemn tone.

"This green caterpillar and this armored pupa hatched at almost the same time three days ago. Their basic stats at hatching were basically the same, and their potential and aptitude were almost identical."

"But during those three days, the one that evolved into Metapod ate Pokémon cubes with BB Corn added to them the entire time."

"And the Caterpie next to it only eats standard Pokémon cubes."

----------

"As you've seen, in the same amount of time, the one that ate the BB Corn successfully evolved into Metapod, and its speed increased several times!"

"More importantly, this Metapod's base stats far exceed the upper limit of a normal Metapod!"

"Accelerated growth, increased potential rather than decreased, and comprehensive strengthening of fundamental constitution —"

After glancing at the Caterpie and Metapod, Kona's pupils constricted sharply, and her face instantly showed an expression of extreme shock.

With such a direct comparison, Kona could naturally understand it.

While the Caterpie's evolution speed isn't slow, completing the process of hatching and evolving into a Metapod within three days is still an absurdly fast pace.

Most importantly, its potential was not overdrawn; instead, it became even stronger.

This means that BB Corn is not forcing growth, but rather nourishing and enhancing Pokémon from the root.

For trainers, this resource is priceless.

In an instant, Kona's gaze toward Jiang Yan completely changed.

Looking back now, the deal made with Jiang Yan seems like an incredible bargain.

After confirming that BB Corn was indeed very effective, Lorelei, representing the Pokémon League, began negotiating a trade with Jiang Yan, still based on exchanging one BB Corn for one starter Pokémon or an equivalent Pokémon.

Of course, Jiang Yan knew very well that with BB Corn's uniqueness, even if he offered a higher price, the Pokémon League would only grit its teeth and accept it in order to obtain this strategic resource.

However, Jiang Yan himself did not just want to do a one-off deal, but wanted to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the Pokémon League. An overly demanding price would not be conducive to future cooperation.

This price is not a loss for Jiang Yan, and it is within the acceptable range of the alliance.

Of course, since he offered a sincere price, Jiang Yan naturally had some additional requirements.

"Let's stick to these basic trading rules. I have a few additional requests that I hope the alliance can fulfill."

"First, I need the League to provide at least one hatchling of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

Jiang Yan looked at Kona and saw her raise one finger.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are extremely rare, and are the dream partners of countless trainers. Even with the League's resources, pseudo-legendary baby Pokémon are still a rare resource, and Jiang Yan naturally wanted one as well.

After a pause, Jiang Yan raised his second finger.

"Secondly, I want a Ralts with top-tier talent and aptitude."

Ralts' evolved form, Gardevoir, is the cooking assistant that Jiang Yan plans to train, so naturally, he needs to have one with good aptitude.

"Third, I need Gardevoir Stone and Charizard Stone, Z Crystal, Max Bracer, and Crystal Bead."

Gardevoir and Charizard evolution stones allow Gardevoir and Charizard to Mega Evolve.

Z-Crystal can unleash Z-Moves, while the Max Bracer and the Crystal Orb correspond to Galar's Dynamax and Padia's Crystallize, respectively, and are both extremely valuable and rare items.

After hearing Jiang Yan's three requests, Lorelei did not respond immediately. Instead, she contacted the Pokémon League headquarters and relayed Jiang Yan's demands to the Pokémon League word for word.

After a brief consultation, the Pokémon League made a decision.

Kona hung up the call and went back to her seat.

"After deliberation, the Alliance headquarters has agreed to all your additional requests."

"However, there are two things I need to tell you in advance: the power of the Max Bracer can only be used in specific Max Dynamax areas in the Galar region; and the Dynamax energy of the Crystal Orb can only be activated in the Padilla region. In other regions, these two items cannot function."

Jiang Yan was not surprised by this.

The original purpose of introducing the Super Stone, Z-Crystal, Dynamax Bracer, and Tyranitar was for collection.

Whether it can be used or not is not important to Jiang Yan.

Of course, if possible, Jiang Yan is prepared to study it further.
