Chapter 168: Big and Small
Soon, the pineapple glutinous rice was also ready.
Naoki took it out of the rice cooker and, looking down, found that it turned out just like the pineapple sweet and sour pork.
[Pineapple Glutinous Rice (B+)
: Made with freshly picked pineapples and glutinous rice.
Dish Effect: Flash, after a Pokemon eats this, they have a high chance of understanding the Flash technique, and their body will glow for 30 minutes.
Evaluation: The fragrance of pineapple is beautifully infused into the glutinous rice, resulting in a sweet and sticky dish full of tropical charm.]
"Not bad," Naoki remarked. He planned to distribute these to a few Pokemon later.
As for what's next, it's time to tackle this pumpkin.
Making pumpkin cakes would be much simpler than the pineapple dish.
Naoki recalled the recipe for pumpkin cakes as he quickly peeled, deseeded, and washed the large pumpkin. He then cut it into slices and steamed them.
During the wait, Naoki carefully collected the pumpkin seeds, intending to stir-fry them later to avoid waste.
Soon, the pumpkin was soft and ready. Naoki found a mixing bowl and mashed the steamed pumpkin with a rolling pin.
Next, he added appropriate amounts of glutinous rice flour and sugar to form a dough. Once the three ingredients were fully combined, it was time for the next step.
He took some of the pumpkin glutinous rice dough, rolled it into a ball, and then flattened it. This process yielded a total of thirty-two pumpkin cakes from the single large pumpkin.
Finally, he fried the pumpkin cakes in oil until they turned golden, then placed them on a plate to cool.
Looking at the golden, crispy pumpkin cakes lying on the white ceramic plate, Naoki's mind conjured up the information about this dessert.
[Pumpkin Cake (A)
: Made with fresh pumpkin, glutinous rice flour, and white sugar.
Dish Effect: Size at Will, after consumption, one can change their body size at will, but not exceeding the upper limit. There are only 3 transformation opportunities, after which the body will return to its original size.
Evaluation: Golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a delicate fragrance of pumpkin, this dessert is exceptionally soft and sticky.]
Hmm? Size at will?
Reading this effect, Naoki's mind suddenly imagined Golurk, Tyrantrum, and Gogoat, among other Pokemon, turning into dozens of meters tall after eating this pumpkin cake.
The next second, Naoki's eyes widened.
What does this mean?!
It means he can now artificially create Gigantamax Pokemon!
Even more astonishing was that the description of this dish didn't specify that it only worked on Pokemon. Does this mean humans can use it too?
Naoki's heart raced with excitement.
Driven by curiosity, he picked up a still-warm pumpkin cake, blew on it a few times, and then popped it into his mouth.
"Get bigger," Naoki thought.
Immediately, his body started to grow continuously, and just as he was about to touch the ceiling, he quickly stopped.
Feeling awkward, he observed his current self and estimated that his height had reached two and a half meters.
Fortunately, there were no Pokemon in the room at the moment, or they might have been startled by his sudden growth.
"Not only did my height increase, but it seems like all my body parts grew proportionally with my height."
Naoki thought as he sensed his new form.
Looking down at his body, Naoki blushed, then thought, "Get smaller."
Soon, he returned to his normal size.
Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his neck, internally exclaiming: "What an outrageous effect!"
But...
Naoki suddenly thought of the gigantic Dragonite beneath Dragonite Island.
For now, it was lunchtime.
Naoki called out to the Pokemon outside, then brought out the pineapple sweet and sour pork, pineapple glutinous rice, and pumpkin cakes.
In addition, he also made a few sandwiches.
With lunch served, the Pokemon, led by Golurk, dug in eagerly.
However, as soon as the first piece of meat entered their mouths, all the Pokemon's bodies started glowing with a dazzling white light.
"Brr?!”
The Ice-type Eevee was shocked, the Tyrantrum looked confused, Haxorus wore a delighted expression, and Golurk remained unfazed.
Seeing their reactions, Naoki smiled and explained, "Eating this meat and pineapple will make your bodies glow for about half an hour."
Haxorus was astonished. "Roar?"
Naoki nodded. "That's right. This is the dish I made using that glowing pineapple."
"Roar?"
Haxorus suddenly remembered that besides the pineapple, there was also a pumpkin that could make things grow and shrink.
Its gaze fell on the row of golden, crispy cakes on the white ceramic plate in front of it.
What about this one? What magical effect does this have?
"Er..." Thinking about what had just happened, Naoki hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should tell them.
He paused briefly before saying, "I'll tell you after you're done eating."
At the very least, he shouldn't mention it during mealtime, or a Pokemon might suddenly get the urge to transform and end up destroying the roof of their home.
Hearing this, Haxorus and the others immediately sped up their eating.
Once they finished, Naoki led them to a relatively spacious grassy area in the ranch.
Facing the expectant Pokemon, he cleared his throat and said, "Now, think in your minds, 'I want to get bigger'!"
"Roar?"
Initially doubtful, Haxorus was surprised to find its body gradually growing larger and larger! Its face reflected its astonishment.
"You can control it!" Naoki shouted. "Just think 'stop' in your mind, and the transformation will halt!"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Haxorus's transformation slowed to a halt, eventually stopping at a height of about sixty feet—as tall as a two-story building.
Seeing this, Froslass also tried it out, staring in wonder as her body changed size.
Tyrantrum and Diggersby followed suit, while the Ice-type Eevee hesitated.
However, the most surprising was Golurk.
Without any instruction, it had intuitively transformed into a size comparable to Pikachu!
Naoki raised his eyebrows, slightly taken aback.
Golurk, on the other hand, seemed pleased with itself. "Agas!"
It scurried over to Naoki and looked up at him.
"What do you want?" Naoki asked.
Golurk extended its arms, clearly asking for a hug.
Naoki: "..."
He reached down and picked up Golurk, letting it perch on his shoulder like Pikachu.
Then, he looked up at the other enlarged Pokemon and said, "Be careful not to get too big and destroy the ranch. Also, you have three transformation opportunities to freely change your size. After the last one is used up, you'll return to your original forms."
