Chapter 128: For the Glory of the Northern God!
Chapter 128: For the Glory of the Northern God!
The thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated, returning the surroundings to a tranquil silence. Bu Tu Bo, floating in mid-air, slowly descended and landed on the grass below.
Its eyes, filled with determination, looked over excitedly.
"How do you feel? Are you stronger now?" Naoki hurriedly asked, concerned about Bu Tu Bo's condition.
"Ba Mo!" Bu Tu Bo nodded vigorously.
After evolving, the electric sacs on its cheeks had become well-developed, and it could now discharge electricity directly without needing to rub its cheeks together.
To demonstrate its new power to Naoki, Bu Tu Bo's cheeks crackled with electricity.
Then, its entire body was enveloped in a glow, and the electricity transformed into a powerful electric attack that shot forward.
Naoki nodded, murmuring, "Looks like I'll need to add Thunder to Bu Bo's notebook."
"Is there anything else?" Naoki asked.
Bu Tu Bo shook its head and then proceeded to showcase the other moves it had learned after evolving.
In addition to Thunder, it displayed Thunderpunch, Spark, Thunder Bolt, and Electric Terrain...
Naoki was astonished by these moves.
The effects of the Lightning Bun were truly over the top! That bolt of thunder had not only caused Bu Bo to evolve into Bu Tu Bo but had also granted it an understanding of so many moves. It truly lived up to the name of "Thunder God."
Legendary cuisine was indeed terrifying! A single feather from a Zapdos possessed such immense power. What if he used feathers from Ho-Oh or Lugia instead?
Or, what if he used feathers from Moltres or Articuno to create Fire Buns and Ice Buns? Would there be "Fire God" or "Ice God" effects? And if he were bolder still, what would happen if he didn't use feathers at all and instead used an entire Zapdos to create a dish?
This thought flashed through Naoki's mind, only to be quickly rejected.
It would be too cruel to harm Pokemon, knowing they possessed emotions and intelligence akin to humans.
Gradually, Naoki calmed down.
After all, obtaining feathers from those Pokemon would be no easy feat.
It had already been a stroke of incredible luck for Bear Cub to find a Zapdos feather. He dared not even imagine the odds of finding feathers from the others.
Then, Naoki recalled the moment when Bu Bo had lifted off the ground.
"Were you flying just now?" he asked curiously.
"Ba Mo?" Bu Tu Bo looked puzzled.
But soon, as if it had just realized something, it nodded vigorously.
"Ba—Mo!"
Bu Tu Bo began to gather its energy, and a yellow electric aura spread from its body, enveloping the surrounding area.
The next second, Bu Tu Bo's feet slowly lifted off the ground, and it hovered in the air.
It was actually flying?! Naoki's eyes widened in surprise, and he tentatively asked, "Can you try moving around?"
"Ba Mo!"
Bu Tu Bo nodded and then began to experiment.
At first, Bu Tu Bo seemed unfamiliar with flying, and its posture was a bit awkward.
But soon, it seemed to get the hang of it and flew with increasing ease and confidence.
It was Bu Tu Bo's first time experiencing the joy of flight, and it excitedly flew back and forth above the ranch.
Watching this, Naoki murmured, "I wonder how Groudon would feel if it saw this."
Regardless of Groudon's feelings, Naoki was genuinely happy for Bu Tu Bo at that moment.
Tomorrow, he planned to go to town and buy a beautiful, bright red cloak for Bu Tu Bo so it could cosplay as Thor, the Thunder God.
In a world with hat-wearing Pikachu, rock star Pikachu, and surfing Pikachu, the appearance of a cloak-wearing Bu Tu Bo wouldn't be too far-fetched, would it?
Even after evolving, Bu Tu Bo remained fluffy and soft, its paw pads feeling even more velvety. Naoki couldn't help but take a big sniff of its fur.
"Alright, let's head back!"
He carried Bu Tu Bo back to the room.
Now, the only thing left to decide was what to do with the remaining Lightning Buns.
Legendary cuisine was rare, and Naoki instinctively wanted to store them in the refrigerator for later when more Electric-type Pokemon joined the ranch, so he could feed them to the new arrivals.
However, even if he froze them, the buns would eventually spoil if kept for too long.
What should he do?
At that moment, the Aerodactyl that had witnessed Bu Bo's transformation stared longingly at the buns.
"These buns won't have any effect on you," Naoki said to it. "Only Electric-type Pokemon like Bu Bo will gain benefits after eating them."
Hearing this, the Aerodactyl looked saddened.
"Roar..."
Naoki: "..."
Oh well, they would spoil eventually anyway. He might as well distribute them for everyone to taste!
So, he shared the remaining buns with the Pokemon on the ranch, and out of curiosity, Naoki also took a bite of one himself.
Hmm, the texture was similar to ordinary buns, but there was a tingly sensation when he chewed, though it wasn't overwhelming.
Perhaps it was due to the residual Electric-type energy in the feathers?
The buns weren't very big. Naoki finished his in a few bites and then turned to the two remaining Pokemon capable of Electric-type moves—the Aerodactyl and Butterfree. "How do you feel?" he asked them.
The Aerodactyl focused intently and raised its fist, upon which a stronger current of electricity appeared compared to before.
"Roar?!"
Naoki noticed this change as well.
He was puzzled, wondering if there was some hidden effect at play. After a moment's thought, he took them outside and instructed the Aerodactyl, "Show me your Thunder Shock."
The Aerodactyl obediently complied.
Its body was enveloped in electric light as it unleashed a more powerful Thunder Shock.
"As I thought, the power of Electric-type moves has increased," Naoki murmured.
He then turned to Butterfree. "And you, Butterfree? How do you feel?"
"Bui~"
Butterfree fluttered its wings and used the Electric Net move it had learned back when it was still a caterpie.
As the electricity crackled, a net woven from strong currents fell to the ground.
"The power of that move seems stronger than before, too," Naoki concluded, realizing the hidden effect of the Lightning Buns—they enhanced the power of Electric-type moves.
Even for non-Electric types, this was still a very beneficial effect.
He addressed the two Pokemon, "Congratulations to both of you—Aerodactyl and Butterfree."
"Roar~"
"Bui~"
"Now, it's time for bed!" Naoki said with a wide grin.
Everyone had made gains today, and that was definitely something to be happy about!
Naoki and the Pokemon bid each other goodnight, and then he went to bed, holding Bu Tu Bo in his arms.
Perhaps because it had finally achieved its long-held aspiration, Bu Tu Bo slept especially soundly that night.
Naoki didn't know what it was dreaming about, but he noticed that even in its sleep, Bu Tu Bo was acting affectionate towards someone, its expression childlike and filled with attachment.
Witnessing this, a smile appeared on Naoki's face, and he gently stroked Bu Tu Bo's fluffy fur.
He closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
