Chapter 132: Creamy Ice Slush!
Chapter 132: Creamy Ice Slush!
That's right, a creamy ice slush!
Fortunately, Naoki had a complete set of equipment and ingredients at home.
Moomoo Milk, Riding Goat's goat milk, Frostairy's cream, and Berries...
The machine was a brand-new multi-function juicer that Naoki had just bought from town the day before. Originally, he intended to use it to make berry juice for his Pokemon, but now it came in handy for this purpose.
With that in mind, Naoki turned back into the house.
He opened the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk and several Berries.
However, there were no ice cubes in the fridge, and after a moment's thought, Naoki found the perfect solution - his Ice-type Pokemon, Ice Bur.
"Buui?" Ice Bur looked a little confused but readily used its Ice-type powers to create a chunk of ice and handed it over.
"You'll see in a moment," Naoki said mysteriously, winking at the curious Pokemon.
Ice Bur only became more perplexed. "Buui?"
Naoki didn't explain further and instead returned to the room.
He put Moomoo Milk, white sugar, ice, and a kind of tree berry called Custap Berry into the juicer and turned it on, beginning the process of making ice slush.
As the machine rapidly spun, the ice chunks were crushed and slowly blended with the Custap Berries and milk.
The Custap Berries were a vibrant blue and had a unique texture, tinting the slush a beautiful sky-blue color.
Next, Naoki began preparing the cream.
He called out to Frostairy.
Upon hearing that Naoki needed its help with making a dessert, Frostairy rushed over excitedly and helped prepare a large bowl of creamy froth.
"Almost done," Naoki said.
With a ding, the machine stopped, and Naoki unplugged it, pouring the slush into several prepared transparent glasses.
He gazed at the fluffy cloud-like cream that Frostairy had produced and then at the sky-blue slush, and suddenly, an image flashed into his mind.
— Fluffy white clouds floating in a clear azure sky, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity.
That's it!
Instead of pouring all the slush into the glasses at once, Naoki decided to create layers. He poured a layer of slush, then squeezed a dollop of cream, repeating the process until the glasses were filled.
From the outside, it looked like soft white clouds floating in a blue sky.
Naoki named it "Cloud Slush" and finally topped it with a swirl of cream and a bright red Roseli Berry as a finishing touch.
Thus, a delicious and visually appealing creamy ice slush was complete.
Frostairy, standing by, gazed at the Cloud Slush with admiration in its eyes. "Mama!" It exclaimed, full of respect for Naoki's creation, which looked just like real clouds.
"It's done!" Naoki smiled.
As he looked down at the creamy ice slush, the information about it appeared in his mind.
[Cloud Slush (B+)
: A delicious dessert made with top-quality fresh milk, ice created by a Pokemon, Frostairy's cream, and tree berries.
Cooking Effect: Slightly increases the probability of Ice-type Pokemon understanding Ice-type moves after consumption.
Additional Effect: Slightly increases the favorability of Ice-type Pokemon.
Evaluation: A dessert that brings happiness to Pokemon!]
Whoosh!
Seeing this all-too-familiar description, Naoki suddenly recalled a dish he had made in the past.
It was the Grass Dumplings! They slightly increased the probability of Grass-type Pokemon understanding Grass-type moves.
And now...
Success!
It was truly a case of trying too hard and failing, only to succeed when he least expected it.
Fortunately, there was an Ice-type Pokemon on the ranch.
Would Eevee, with its daily intake of cream ice slush, undergo a transformation like the three Riding Goats and become a "God of Ice"?
After the counterfeit Grass Saint Knight Riding Goats and the bootleg Thunder God Diglett, it looked like another imitation God of Ice was about to be born.
His ranch was truly a treasure trove of talent!
Naoki's heart raced as he quickened his pace.
Soon, he had prepared over a dozen cups of cream ice slush.
He called over Motoxizard and Gulpin to help distribute the treats to everyone.
As for himself, he took a cup and went to find Eevee on the grass field.
"Care to try some?" Naoki offered, placing the cup of cream ice slush in front of Eevee.
"Ve~"
Eevee stared at the cup of cream ice slush before her.
From a distance, she could smell the sweet aroma and the chill that emanated from it.
Eevee had a soft spot for sweets, but no one knew about this little secret of hers.
She quietly swallowed her saliva and then pretended to be calm and collected. She stood up, lowered her head, and extended her pink tongue to gently lick the icy cream on top.
In that instant, Eevee was captivated by the flavor.
Delicious!
"You seem to like it," Naoki said, a smile forming on his face as he watched the usually cool Eevee indulge in the treat with such delight.
Perhaps Eevee had a sweet tooth? He made a mental note of this newfound interest.
Eevee finished the entire cup of cream ice slush in one go.
Now came the moment of truth.
Naoki observed her intently and asked, "Do you feel any changes in your body?"
"Ve?" Eevee was a bit confused. She carefully sensed her body and then shook her head gently.
"Looks like this batch of cream ice slush didn't help Eevee understand Ice-type moves," Naoki thought to himself.
However, he wasn't discouraged. As long as Eevee kept consuming it, there would come a day when she would comprehend more powerful Ice-type moves.
With that in mind, Naoki asked, "Would you like more?"
"Ve~"
Eevee wanted more, but she felt embarrassed. She didn't want to appear greedy in front of this human.
Seeing Eevee's conflicted expression, Naoki couldn't help but laugh.
"Ve~!"
Eevee's face turned red as her secret desire was exposed, and she turned away, running off in embarrassment.
"This Eevee has an interesting personality," Naoki thought to himself.
When they first met, she had come across as aloof and distant, but the more he interacted with her, the more he realized that she wasn't as cold as she seemed on the surface.
For instance, she loved flowers and often went to the flower fields, bending down to sniff the blossoms.
Her fondness for sweets was also unexpected, an interest that didn't align with the typical demeanor of a cold and detached Pokemon.
Watching Eevee's retreating figure, Naoki realized that this was a great opportunity to deepen their bond.
Perhaps with a few more servings of cream ice slush, he could start petting Eevee without restraint!
