Chapter 332: Black and White Radish Sticky Rice Cake!
Chapter 332: Black and White Radish Sticky Rice Cake!
In the backyard of a cafe in Kanaz City, Hoenn Region.
"Kyuubi, Gramps, be careful," Jinghe couldn't help but remind them.
"Woof~"
"Hngga~"
The two little ones nodded simultaneously, their expressions serious, as they carefully pulled out a black and a white radish from the flower bed in the backyard! After flying back from Celadon City to Hoenn and returning to the cafe, Jinghe learned from Ai Guan Shi that the black and white radishes he had planted in the garden might have matured.
And so, the current scene unfolded.
Ice Kyuubi and Gramps pulled out two different radishes, one from the snow and the other from the black soil.
The ice radish looked like a frozen ice crystal, emitting a faint chill, not quite white but a light blue color, with emerald green leaves.
As for the radish pulled out by Gramps, it was truly black, and the radish itself wasn't particularly distinct, but rather resembled a root.
"It should be ripe, right?"
Facing the gazes of the little ones, Jinghe rubbed his chin lightly and said uncertainly.
He took the ice radish and black radish from Ice Kyuubi and Gramps.
After examining them for a moment, he said, "Let's try it and see."
Then, he picked up the ice radish, brushed off the dirt and snow stuck to it, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
"Woof? Woof woof?"
Ice Kyuubi tilted its head and blinked a few times.
You... you're going to try it?
Jinghe was startled by the question and pursed his lips, saying, "Yes."
After all, these were the ice radish and black radish, the legendary food of Leicrown King's two beloved horses, Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Shadow Horse.
Only these two foods could satisfy Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Shadow Horse.
But would eating these foods that even divine Pokemon enjoyed cause any problems?
"Then let's make a finished product."
"Kyuubi, Gramps, pick a few more."
And so, Jinghe entered the kitchen with three sturdy ice radishes and three black radishes that looked a bit shriveled.
Speaking of which, although the ice radish looked like a blue ice cube, its essence was still a radish. After peeling off the skin, the inside was a light blue fruit.
The black radish was the same.
"Then let's make radish sticky rice cake," Jinghe thought.
He first peeled and sliced all the radishes, steamed them in a pot, and then mashed them.
Then he added an appropriate amount of sugar, two spoons of sticky rice flour, and one spoon of cornstarch, mixing it into a fluffy dough with a moderate moisture level that wasn't sticky.
Next, he divided the dough into small portions, stuffed them with red dates or various tree fruits for decoration, and the rest just needed to be cooked.
Considering that the ice radish and black radish might not suit all the little ones, Jinghe also made some sticky rice cakes with tree fruit flavors that the little ones liked.
While Jinghe was in the kitchen making radish sticky rice cakes with Rotom, Gramps, feeling bored, took the little ones to play and train in the backyard.
"Woof~"
Swift Dragon looked up at the ceiling, which was very close to him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Jinghe had considered the issue of Hachubo's evolution and rented a house with a sufficiently high ceiling.
Otherwise, after Hachubo evolved into Swift Dragon, it would have to live with a hunched back.
Ordinary Swift Dragons are usually around 2.2 to 2.3 meters tall.
But Jinghe's Swift Dragon was already over 2.5 meters tall, and its body had also grown rounder.
Judging by this trend, the power of Dragon Dive, compared to other Swift Dragons, would be at least 20% stronger.
Moreover, according to the P=MV formula, the faster the speed, the greater the mass, and the momentum would increase exponentially.
Emphasizing the 'heavy bomb' effect.
"Hngga?"
Suddenly, Gramps' eyes narrowed, and he let out a strange laugh, his body slowly sinking into the shadows.
At that moment, in the shadow of the garden wall, Maxado's black figure gradually lengthened, and the tiny flames in his eyes flickered.
Exhausted.
To monitor the holder of the "Rainbow Feather," and to understand whether this holder of the "Rainbow Feather" was qualified to become the "Rainbow Hero."
It had followed the outline of the world's shadows all the way from Celadon to Hoenn.
"Maxado."
It was truly exhausting.
"Hngga?"
Suddenly, Maxado felt a tap on his shoulder and was startled, quickly turning to look.
There, Gramps was looking at him with a smile.
Damn! I've been discovered! Maxado felt a bit flustered.
Damn it, chasing from Celadon to Hoenn was truly exhausting.
"Hngga?"
But then, Gramps pulled out a handful of energy cubes and handed them to Maxado.
Hungry, have some energy cubes!
"Maxado!"
Maxado suddenly felt a chill down his back and immediately distanced himself from Gramps.
But then he felt that two waveguide powers and a psychic power had locked onto his position.
Stiffly turning his head, he saw Ice Kyuubi, Gigaforg, Swift Dragon, Bear Apprentice, Coalomass, and Gramps, six little ones, had already cornered him in the corner.
"Maxado! Σ(дlll)"
Bullying the weak is not honorable!
In his mind, he recalled the scene from a few days ago when Raikou was brutally beaten, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
It was only because a lot of strength and energy had been spent on the journey.
Hmm?
Gramps slowly narrowed his eyes, looking at Maxado and then at the Energy Cube in his own hand.
"Hngga?"
Don't like it?
"M-Maxado..."
For a moment, Maxado couldn't tell if Gramps was asking a question or making a threat.
Damn it.
Just like that person, he couldn't tell if they were good or bad, if it was a question or a threat.
Then,
Maxado suddenly received feedback from the Rainbow Feather.
【Rainbow Feather: Full, full!】
How dare you! What is that human doing to the Rainbow Feather again?
At the same time, in the kitchen.
As Jinghe waited for the steamed food, he felt something and took out the Rainbow Feather, which was flashing, from his pocket.
Hungry again? He immediately infused it with Wave Guide Power.
Soon, the Rainbow Feather returned to normal.
Jinghe shook his head.
This time, it got full quite quickly.
However, he had to admit that having the Rainbow Feather, a tool that continuously consumed Wave Guide Power, gave him the opportunity to practice his skills.
Now, his Wave Guide Power was much stronger than when it had just awakened.
"One day, I'll have a hand-made Wave Missile too."
"Beep beep! Time's up, Rotom!" The Rotom Pokedex reminded him that the timer had gone off.
"It's ready!"
Jinghe put away the feather, opened the steamer, and took out both the Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish and the Sticky Rice Cake with Ice Radish.
He carefully arranged them on a plate.
Hmm? As he walked into the living room, he paused, then realized that the little guys had probably gone to the garden.
"In that case, I'll be the first to try it."
Compared to the black radish, Jinghe felt that his resistance to Ice-type moves was quite good.
So he picked up a piece of Sticky Rice Cake with Ice Radish, blew on it vigorously, and then carefully took a bite.
As he ate it,
His eyes lit up.
Hot, icy, sweet, and sticky,
various textures intertwined.
It felt like he was eating grilled ice cream.
It's a success! Jinghe gave Rotom a piece of Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish and said, "Well done, Rotom."
"No, it's not hard work!"
But it's so delicious!
"Let's go, let them try it too."
Then,
They headed to the backyard.
And then they saw.
The little guys, with smiling faces, surrounded Maxado.
Noticing Jinghe's arrival, especially seeing the sticky rice cakes in Jinghe's hands, they immediately cheered and gathered around.
And when Maxado saw Jinghe, Jinghe also saw Maxado.
"Maxado?"
A question mark appeared above Jinghe's head.
Shouldn't Maxado be in Celadon?
At most, he would wander to Kanto, but how did he end up in Kanaz City?
Is Phoenix being so lenient now? But then he thought,
It's reasonable for the camera to appear in any region.
As for Maxado's appearance, since he had already noticed it in Ink City, Jinghe was a bit surprised but not shocked.
So he smiled and picked up a piece of Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish, asking,
"Want to try? It's just out of the steamer."
Seeing the Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish, Maxado's eyes straightened.
As a Phantom Beast, and a Ghost-type Phantom Beast at that, it could sense the unique Ghost-type energy permeating the sticky rice cake.
This was very tempting for it.
And Gramps and the others had already started "grabbing."
Seeing that Maxado wasn't moved, maintaining a vigilant and cautious demeanor, Jinghe guessed that it was probably more careful.
"It's not dangerous, I'll show you."
Saying this, he put the Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish into his mouth.
Hmm.
This had a different taste from the Sticky Rice Cake with Ice Radish; it was sweeter, with a hint of sourness. It wasn't cold, just hot on the outside and cool on the inside, and the texture was also quite good.
"Still don't believe me? I'll show you again."
"Hngga! (﹏)"
Gramps grabbed Jinghe's hand.
Don't show me, I almost believed you! If you eat any more, it'll be gone!
Saying this, it grabbed a piece of Sticky Rice Cake with Black Radish, turned around, and put it into Maxado's hand.
"Hngga!"
Eat quickly.
If you don't eat it, Jinghe will finish it all.
Maxado: "..."
How can there be people who compete with Pokemon for food? And
Is it really okay for humans to eat food filled with Ghost-type energy?
Glug—
Looking at the sticky rice cake in his hand, Maxado swallowed his saliva, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of food, and carefully took a bite.
"Maxado! o(〃’▽’〃)o"
Maxado's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Is it that delicious?!
Not only was it delicious.
The energy inside was also very rich, and it even made him feel like the energy he had consumed was slowly recovering.
Seeing Maxado's expression, Jinghe smiled slightly.
It was delicious because he had made it well, and as for the energy inside...
If Black Radish didn't eat Black Shadow Horse, even Leicrown King would go on strike, which shows the importance of Black Radish to Black Shadow Horse.
Maxado's eyes gradually became firm.
"Maxado!"
No way!
This "evil food," I have to help consume it, or else it will "harm" other Pokemon!
Maxado, full of righteousness.
