Chapter 367: How Could There Be Such a Cute Pokemon as Creamy Frost?
Chapter 367: How Could There Be Such a Cute Pokemon as Creamy Frost?
Ali's tenure as a Gym Leader was relatively short, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she had only just assumed the role.
Before becoming a Gym Leader, Ali's life had been quite challenging due to her father's gambling addiction. He was a regular at the Veil Game City, accumulating significant debts.
As a result, Ali had to bear not only the pressure of raising Pokemon but also the burden of her father's debts, which placed immense stress on her young shoulders.
In the special episode, Ali's family was depicted as impoverished. She often trained on an empty stomach and tried to convince herself that it was a form of ascetic training.
Ali's title of "Barefoot Genius Fighter" was not without reason.
However, Ali didn't give up; instead, she became even more determined to become stronger.
With the Sinnoh League promoting younger trainers, Ali's demonstrated abilities and strong will led to her appointment as the new Veil Gym Leader.
But before that...
Ali had already teamed up with Ami multiple times to challenge the Seven Star Restaurant.
The two of them, for different reasons, could finally enjoy a satisfying meal here.
The outgoing Ali and the introverted Ami formed a team by chance.
Seeing the two of them, Jinghe began to understand why so many Gym Leaders had side jobs.
With the income from a single Gym, it wasn't difficult to raise a team of Pokemon; one could even raise more.
However, relying solely on the income from one Gym to raise a team of Pokemon to their full potential was not an easy task.
Moreover, Ali was a young trainer who had just become a Gym Leader.
"Ali, you could consider taking up a side job," Jinghe suggested.
Ali, upon hearing this, smiled and rubbed her nose, saying, "I have. I've washed dishes, done laundry, worked on farms, and cleaned. I just keep messing up."
Ali was naturally strong, but she wasn't aware of her own strength, so most of the time, accidents happened due to her excessive force when doing these chores.
Furthermore, given Ali's personality, many tasks were indeed challenging for her.
Fortunately, as a Gym Leader, her life should improve significantly.
"Things will get better!" Jinghe patted Ali on the shoulder reassuringly.
There wasn't much more Jinghe could do to help in other aspects.
However, Ali's father, who was addicted to gambling and gaming, should be kept in check.
With the surveillance of the League Police and International Police, he shouldn't be able to burden Ali further.
After all, Veil City was home to one of the Galactic Team's bases.
"Mhm!" Ali nodded vigorously, full of determination.
"Hng?"
Gramps, sniffing the air, approached a dessert stand located in the corner of the restaurant. This was the source of all the desserts served here.
Next to the dessert stand, several white-clad pastry chefs were swiftly preparing new desserts and sending them to various tables.
Gramps's attention was drawn to a small creature on the dessert stand, its body entirely covered in cream like a delicate cake, adorned with strawberry decorations.
It was the Creamy Frost Pokemon, Creamy Frost!
Holding a tiny spoon, it gently scraped off some cream from its body and spread it onto the cake handed to it by the pastry chef.
Humming a nameless tune, it seemed to be in high spirits.
"Hng~! (≧▽≦)"
The aroma was irresistible!
Gramps stared at the little creature, his mouth watering. "Gulp."
"Yi, Yi Ma?"
Upon seeing Gramps, who looked like a starving ghost, Creamy Frost was startled.
Quickly thinking, it used its spoon to scrape some cream from its body and threw it at Gramps.
"Roar!"
The little creature's action played right into Gramps's hands. The Purple Fatty didn't hesitate and swallowed the cream in one mouthful, smacking its lips afterward.
"Hng! (っ)"
Delicious!
"Yi Ma?"
Creamy Frost tilted its head and patted its chest in relief.
Fortunately, the cream it threw had a strong calming effect, causing a loss of fighting spirit once ingested.
"Hng~~"
Gramps opened its mouth and pointed with its finger, signaling Creamy Frost to give it some more.
"Yi Ma."
Creamy Frost looked at the cake beside it, which it hadn't had time to cover with cream, and found itself in a dilemma.
Gramps's eyes widened, and it immediately made a silly face at Creamy Frost.
"Yi Ma!! (≧≦)"
Another blob of cream was thrown.
Gramps swallowed it in one mouthful.
In that moment, Gramps suddenly realized that scaring the Pokemon was the key to getting more cream.
"Hng~~"
"Yi Ma!!"
"Hng."
"Yi Ma!"
"Hng"
"Yi!"
"."
"Creamy Frost?"
At that moment, Jinghe, who had been looking for Gramps, witnessed this scene.
"Hng~!"
Gramps immediately waved at Jinghe.
Come, this cream is delicious!
Jinghe's forehead creased with a black line.
Don't you see how pitiful Creamy Frost is, almost scared to tears by you?
Upon seeing Jinghe, Creamy Frost, who had finally stopped being scared by Gramps, burst into tears with a "Waa!"
"Yi Ma.゜゜(Ｏ`)゜゜."
Gramps, realizing what had happened, stood there in a daze.
"Hng (Д`)ヽ(￣ω￣)"
Hurriedly, Gramps took out an Energy Cube and, while Creamy Frost was crying, tossed one into its mouth.
"Yi, Yi Ma?"
Unconsciously, Creamy Frost smacked its lips twice, immediately stopping its tears.
It smacked its lips and sniffed twice, its eyes curving into crescents.
"Yima! (＞＜)☆"
"Hengga~~"
Gramps laughed heartily, patting Creamy Frost's head.
But he found himself with another hand full of cream, and promptly licked it clean.
Jing He rubbed his chin, closely observing the "Vanilla Cream" flavored Creamy Frost before him.
Creamy Frost was a very special Pokemon, capable of producing frothy fresh cream. It was said that the happier Creamy Frost felt, the sweeter its cream would taste.
It was precisely because of this that owning a Creamy Frost was the dream of countless pastry chefs.
Its sweet cream could be used not only for making cakes, garnishing Tree Fruits, and baking cream-filled cookies and puffs, but also for various other delectable treats.
Moreover, its signature move, "Decoration," was an incredibly powerful support move.
【Decoration: By decorating, significantly increases the target's physical attack and special attack.】
Boosting both offensive stats and by a large margin! This enhancement ability was no less impressive than Bear Pupil's "Guide."
Additionally, the "Decoration" move could also be used outside of battles to make food more delicious.
Most Creamy Frosts didn't have much combat ability, so when encountering an enemy, they would feed the opponent cream with a calming effect, causing them to lose their fighting spirit and allowing the Creamy Frost to escape.
The Gramps just experienced this bug, causing the Creamy Frost to keep feeding him cream.
However, the calming cream seemed to have no effect on Gramps.
"This Creamy Frost is pretty amazing, huh?"
Hmm?
Jing He turned around.
He saw a young man in a white suit with light blue short hair, looking about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, standing behind Jing He.
"You're... Master Jing He," the young man said, surprised to see Jing He.
As Jing He wondered, the man introduced himself with a smile:
"I'm Chiyuu, the owner of the Seven Star Hotel."
So he was the owner.
The free doubles meal event at the Seven Star Hotel was organized by this young heir, Chiyuu, and his fiancee, Chixia.
Jing He shook hands with him.
"So, you're Mr. Chiyuu."
After a brief pause, Jing He asked, "Is this Creamy Frost your Pokemon?"
There were many pastry chefs near the dessert table, but none seemed to be a Creamy Frost trainer.
Otherwise, Gramps and Creamy Frost's "operation" would have been noticed long ago.
That's why Jing He had this suspicion.
Hearing this, Chiyuu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's one of our hotel employees."
Then, after a brief explanation from Chiyuu, Jing He learned that this Creamy Frost had been working at a pastry shop but wasn't very happy there, and its cream tasted quite ordinary, leading to the shop's closure.
Chiyuu had discovered it and brought it back, and after some time nurturing and interacting with it, the Creamy Frost's mood gradually improved, and the cream it produced became increasingly more delicious.
"I see."
Jing He nodded slightly, then furrowed his brows and tentatively asked, "It didn't... steal..."
Considering that the Creamy Frost could hear, Jing He didn't say the word "poacher."
But Chiyuu clearly understood and sighed, "Yes."
The Creamy Frost was bought at a high price from a hunter by a pastry chef who desperately wanted one.
This was also the reason why the Creamy Frost wasn't happy.
Jing He remained silent.
Indeed, it was the Pokemon hunters again.
"Yima~ (＾＾●)"
The Creamy Frost, who had just been scared to tears by Gramps, now seemed to be on very good terms with him.
It gobbled up the Energy Cube Gramps handed to it.
Then, using a spoon, it scraped off some fresh cream from its body and fed it to Gramps.
"Hengga~ ε(><)з"
Gramps was now in bliss.
On one hand, the cream was delicious, and on the other, the Creamy Frost was so adorable! How could there be such a cute Pokemon as the Creamy Frost? Jing He's expression was peculiar.
Feed it Energy Cubes and it produces cream?
Did Gramps learn "Matter Conversion"?
"The little guy seems very happy," Chiyuu said with a smile.
The happier it is, the better the cream it produces.
A thought suddenly popped into Jing He's mind.
Since it was an employee, should he poach Chiyuu's "employee"?
The desserts made by his beloved caretaker sister were already very tasty, boosting the coffee shop's business.
If he added a Creamy Frost...
He could almost envision his coffee shop bustling with customers.
"Master Jing He is quite tempted?"
Chiyuu seemed to have "seen through" his thoughts.
"Ahem."
Jing He coughed lightly, neither confirming nor denying.
Chiyuu looked at the happy Creamy Frost and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't mind. As long as the Creamy Frost is willing and happy, that's all that matters."
Hmm?
"But if the Creamy Frost isn't willing, Master Jing He won't force it, right?" Chiyuu asked.
"Of course," Jing He replied promptly.
All his thoughts were based on the Creamy Frost's own wishes.
"However..."
Chiyuu's smile widened, "As the current employer of the Creamy Frost, I will also do my best to keep my employee."
"Is that so?"
Jing He also smiled slightly.
When it came to Pokemon affinity, as a Pokemon psychologist, he had never lost to anyone.
Moreover...
Wave Guide Power, give me affinity!
