Master Chef Ogawa was a special-grade chef employed by Yuanyue Group and also a professional Breeder, having unique insights into creating food for Pokemon.
This time, he prepared a dessert resembling a cake that was specifically designed for Normal type Pokémon—an ultimate delicacy and a killer dish for them.
At the same time, this dessert named "Colorful Heart" was also Master Chef Ogawa's new dish, little known to others.
Once Master Chef Ogawa brought out two plates of "Colorful Heart," the solemn-faced chef displayed a natural expression and stepped aside to explain,
"'Colorful Heart,' also known as 'Heart of Nature,' can only be truly appreciated by Normal type Pokémon that are highly adaptable. It allows them to taste the essence of all-encompassing flavors as if Flame, Thunder and Lightning, plant fragrances, and frost burst forth on their taste buds simultaneously, with nature's blessing nourishing the body and spirit..."
Mikaze Zenji laughed at the side, confident in Master Chef Ogawa's culinary prowess.
As expected, Miss Suzuki's Tail Mewing would be instantly captivated by this dish, a flavor it would never forget for life. The notion that the best way to a woman's heart is through her stomach is outdated; of course, you have to win over her Pokemon's appetite!
Tail Mewing and Eevee both received a plate of Colorful Heart. At that moment, Master Chef Ogawa asked the four if they needed any other desserts, as he was also skilled at human cuisine.
Although he was asking, in reality, Master Chef Ogawa was covertly observing the reactions of the two Pokemon.
After Tail Mewing licked the cream that was akin to ice cream, feeling the residual warmth and fragrance on its tongue, its cheeks blushed in an instant, its tail shook vigorously, and its ears trembled non-stop. Just one bite, and it felt as if it had ascended to heaven.
The second bite... the third bite... With each one, there were different sensations, as if various natural Attribute Spirits exploded on its taste buds. The combination of multiple flavors did not muddle the dish's deliciousness; instead, it elevated the realm of Colorful Heart.
Perfect harmony!
"Mew~~~" Tail Mewing was completely delighted, quickly devouring a plate of dessert, and still left wanting more, wishing it could eat several more plates.
Yoko Suzuki was slightly surprised, having never seen her Tail Mewing express such joy before. Was it really that delicious?
Mikaze Zenji smiled gently, and Master Chef Ogawa smiled without speaking, as if it were all a matter of course.
But in the next moment, their expressions froze.
"Bwoo!" After Eevee took one bite, it noticed the voracious Tail Mewing eyeing its food eagerly after finishing its own.
Facing that pleading gaze, Eevee fell into thought. After a moment, it pushed the plate forward as if to say, "It's yours."
Clearly, the taste of Colorful Heart dessert didn't impress Eevee much—special-grade gourmet? Just mediocre...
Just as Eevee was feeling proud of its sensibleness, magnanimity, politeness, and gratefulness from Tail Mewing, it discovered a look of incomprehension the next moment.
Master Chef Ogawa's mouth fell open at the sight of Eevee unhesitatingly pushing the delicacy towards another Pokemon. His heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he began to question life.
Impossible! Unscientific! How could this happen!
He would not have been the least bit surprised if the two Pokemon started fighting over the Colorful Heart, but how could one of them easily relinquish their food so readily?
"Huh..." Mikaze Zenji was also stunned for a moment. Although he was very happy about Tail Mewing's joy and Miss Suzuki's surprise, what was going on with this Eevee?
"Sorry..." At this time, Fang Yuan apologized and picked up Eevee, saying, "It might be because it ate too much food this morning, and can't eat anything else now."
Seeing Master Chef Ogawa's reaction, Fang Yuan knew that this chef took great pride in his food, which is the heart of a chef. If his food wasn't liked, it would definitely be a great blow. To ease the awkwardness, Fang Yuan laughed and said, "Right, Eevee?"
Eevee could perfectly understand Fang Yuan's meaning. Eevee admitted that the Colorful Heart dish was indeed excellent. If it had eaten the dish a year ago, it would have been completely immersed in it just like Tail Mewing. In terms of deliciousness, it had far surpassed ordinary Energy Blocks.
However, ever since Fang Yuan began to learn breeding knowledge, understood specific breeding, and as the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster grew stronger in the essence of molecular cuisine, along with having abundant funds to try different dishes, the Energy Blocks eaten by Fang Yuan's Pokemon were no longer simple. In both taste and nutritional value, they were far beyond the normal Pokemon food.
The most important point was, the stronger the Pokemon, the harder it was to be lured by simple tastes. This was about spiritual power and will, so capturing Eevee with just a single dish was impossible.
"Bwoo... *burp*~~" After understanding Fang Yuan's meaning, Eevee immediately put on a "bloated" face and burped. Fang Yuan didn't even know how it made that expression, it just felt like the Eevee he was holding suddenly got rounder, and at the same time, Eevee patted its belly as a symbol, indicating Fang Yuan was right.
Fang Yuan: I might not get the Ron Award, but you could definitely win an Oscar.
"Ah, I see." Upon hearing this, Yoko Suzuki nodded and said to Tail Mewing, "You haven't thanked Eevee yet."
"I see..." Mikaze Zenji also nodded. So it was full.
"????" Master Chef Ogawa.
I don't believe you at all!!
Master Chef Ogawa had great confidence in his dishes, and even if a Pokemon was full, it couldn't resist the temptation of such delicious food.
Eevee's performance was definitely one of dislike!
However, Master Chef Ogawa also knew that Fang Yuan was trying to save his face, and felt a pang in his heart. Now, he was even more curious as to why this Eevee's tastes were so high; it was unscientific.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, do you have a unique perspective on Pokemon food?" Master Chef Ogawa didn't care about saving face or anything, he just wanted to pursue the pinnacle of culinary arts, and he couldn't help but ask Fang Yuan for advice.
"It's alright..." Fang Yuan was taken aback. Eevee was really just full, why ask so many questions!
Master Chef Ogawa didn't care about these things, and kept inquiring, leaving Fang Yuan with no choice but to be helpless.
"If Master Chef Ogawa is interested, he can come to watch the conference the day after tomorrow. Our company will showcase a new type of Pokemon food and nutritional supplement," Fang Yuan said with a smile. Never mind, let's just get through today.
Indeed, aside from Beauty God Perfume, Fang Yuan was also preparing to showcase Energy Blocks. Energy Blocks were essentially Pokemon food and supplements, valuable for their low cost and simple ingredients and manufacturing processes. Fang Yuan was only going to present some ordinary effects of Energy Blocks, which would be perceived as incredible food and supplements by others, who wouldn't think too much of it. After all, there were countless types of Pokemon food.
But only Fang Yuan knew this was a tremendously terrifying industry chain, enough to shake up the current Pokemon food and supplement market. However, as long as outsiders didn't know the production cost and hidden effects of Energy Blocks, they wouldn't recognize their true value.
With plans to enter the competition, Fang Yuan felt it wasn't very safe to rely only on the Beauty God Perfume. He decided to introduce Energy Blocks to the market. With this, the gold award for the Asia region should be secured, right? With a gold award, he could compete with top enterprises from other continents for special awards.
If he could successfully master Fossil Resurgence techniques before that, Fang Yuan felt he might be able to bring home a Ron Award and become a certified Poke-mon Doctor by the Alliance.
