Chapter 409: The Return of the Valiant Adventure Squad, and the Birth of the Almighty Blessed Buns!

Teddiursa and Mew had returned!

Naoki was filled with delight as he welcomed the three Pokemon who had braved the snowy weather to arrive at the ranch. He quickly ushered them inside, brushing off the snow from their bodies and offering them hot tea and soft, sweet treats.

The heater was blasting inside the house.

The three members of the Valiant Adventure Squad sat on the floor, warming themselves with the hot drinks, their bodies stiff from the cold gradually thawing, and their energy slowly returning.

Teddiursa and Mew had their mouths stuffed with treats, resembling squirrels in the midst of a feast.

Zapdos buried its head in its food bowl, relishing the warm snacks.

After a while, Teddiursa belched contentedly, then reached behind and pulled out a feather shimmering with a rainbow glow.

"Yimeoyimeo!" (This is for you, Naoki!)

Thanks to the Translation Pistachio, Naoki instantly understood Teddiursa's words.

He looked at the feather, and the next second, information about it appeared in his mind.

【Rainbow Feather: A legendary item, a feather from the Mythical Pokemon, Ho-Oh. It is said that when the feather shines with a rainbow radiance, it brings happiness to humans.】

Naoki: "!!!"

It was a feather from Ho-Oh!

What had Teddiursa and Mew been up to? This time, they had even brought back a feather from Ho-Oh?

Naoki, with a shocked expression, asked, "Where did you get this feather from?"

Teddiursa replied cheerfully, "Yimeoyime! "(We found it on the grass!)

Mew nodded happily beside it. "Miu~" (It's Ho-Oh's feather!)

Teddiursa continued, "Yimeoyimeo!" (We also became friends with Ho-Oh, oh, and Marshadow too!)

With the two Pokemon explaining together, it took Naoki a full five minutes to finally understand what had happened.

Apparently, the Valiant Adventure Squad had suddenly come across this feather during their travels. Not long after, a majestic Pokemon resembling a large dog appeared before them.

The Pokemon, named Entei, told them to follow the feather's guidance to a place called Yuan Zhu City.

And when the squad arrived at Yuan Zhu City, the humans there directed them to Tianqing Mountain to seek Ho-Oh.

After a series of adventures, the Valiant Adventure Squad finally reached Tianqing Mountain.

There, they encountered a reclusive Pokemon that liked to hide in the shadows.

Mew caught it, and from their conversation, they learned that the shadow Pokemon's name was Marshadow, and it had been responsible for guiding humans chosen by Ho-Oh to take the Rainbow Brave's Trial.

Marshadow told them that this had never happened before.

Ho-Oh had always bestowed feathers upon humans, never Pokemon.

Upon hearing this, Mew and Teddiursa shook their heads, indicating that they were no ordinary Pokemon; they were the Valiant Adventure Squad, roaming the world and performing righteous deeds!

After listening to the squad's story, Marshadow said, "In that case, put the Rainbow Feather on that stone over there and see what happens."

Mew and Teddiursa did as instructed.

As they placed the feather on the stone, it erupted in a pillar of radiant light.

A rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, and then, the Pokemon named Ho-Oh made its appearance.

Hearing this, Naoki was stunned. "So, you're already Rainbow Braves?"

Rainbow Brave was a title given to those chosen by Ho-Oh in the movies. Ash Ketchum had once undergone this trial and become a Rainbow Brave.

Mew and Teddiursa glanced at each other and then shook their heads. "Yimeoyimeo!" (No! Ho-Oh said that the title of Rainbow Brave is for humans!)

"Miu~" (Ho-Oh also gave us the feather after witnessing what we had done. It said the feather could help us.)

Naoki understood, feeling a little startled. He had thought his Pokemon had already become Rainbow Braves.

He calmed himself, glancing at the Rainbow Feather in his hand, and asked, "What about Ho-Oh?"

The two Pokemon shook their heads.

"Yime." (We don't know. After that, it flew away.)

"Miu..." (We invited Ho-Oh to come to the ranch and play with us, but Ho-Oh refused...)

Mew's little face looked quite disappointed as it said this.

Naoki: "..."

Naoki was at a loss for words for a moment.

Wow, the Valiant Adventure Squad had truly become a Pokemon vending machine. From legendary Pokemon like Ho-Oh to common ones like Farfetch'd, they could get him anything.

As expected of Teddiursa, blessed with Permanent Super Luck!

Naoki had expected Ho-Oh wouldn't come, but he couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. He had wanted to see Ho-Oh perched atop the World Tree.

"..." Naoki trailed off, unsure.

Mew looked a little dejected as it mumbled, "Miu..."

Naoki, however, had turned his attention to the feather.

Zapdos' feathers had yielded the Lightning Buns, and the feathers of Lugia had resulted in the Storm Buns.

The question now was, what kind of dish would Ho-Oh's feather create?

Naoki's heart was filled with anticipation.

But before he could start experimenting with the feather, he decided to ask the Pokemon for their opinions.

"Can I use this feather to make a dish?"

"Yime!" (No problem! It was meant to be our gift to you anyway!)

, Teddiursa replied, its belly still full from the treats, as it lay on the wool carpet, stroking its round stomach.

"Alright, thank you. I really like this gift," Naoki smiled, and he turned to Latias, asking it to use its psychic powers to transform the feather into powder.

Latias readily agreed.

In just three seconds, the rainbow feather turned into a handful of golden-red powder that resembled flour.

Naoki took a closer look, and information about the powder immediately appeared in his mind.

【Ho-Oh Feather Powder: A legendary ingredient containing an abundance of sacred power, blessing power, and fiery energy. When used in cooking, it may produce some miraculous effects.】

"As expected," Naoki muttered to himself.

He playfully rubbed Teddiursa and Mew's heads and said, "Wait here, I'll steam some buns for you!"

Naoki turned and headed into the kitchen to get to work.

The three Pokemon, now full and content, happily looked around, greeting the other Pokemon in the ranch.

Although there were quite a few unfamiliar faces, they quickly introduced themselves and got to know each other.

When Mew and Teddiursa laid eyes on the Farfetch'd they had invited to the ranch, their little faces were filled with shock.

"Yime!" (So strong!)

"Miu!" (It's changed so much!)

"Ga!" Farfetch'd looked equally pleased to see them.

If it weren't for Mew and Teddiursa, it wouldn't be where it was today.

At that moment, Farfetch'd felt incredibly grateful to have met the Valiant Adventure Squad, come to the ranch, and gotten to know Naoki.

Naoki was very familiar with the process of making buns.

Knead the dough, let it rest, shape it into buns, and then steam them.

As noon approached, the heavy snowfall outside finally stopped.

The house full of Pokemon curiously put on the scarves Naoki had bought for them and rushed outside to play in the snow.

The three members of the Valiant Adventure Squad also ventured out, but their purpose was different from the others. They wanted to check on the World Tree and see if it had grown.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, Zapdos and Mew noticed that the World Tree planted on the grass was nowhere to be seen! The Pokemon were startled and quickly found Naoki, chattering away to inform him about the missing World Tree.

Naoki, who was in the middle of steaming the buns, smiled at their concern and replied, "It's not missing. It just outgrew the ranch, so I moved it somewhere else."

Then, he asked his sister, Ai, to watch the buns while he led the three Pokemon across the lake and into the Reverse World.

In the next second, Zapdos, Mew, and Teddiursa found themselves in a void, gazing upon an incredibly tall and robust giant tree.

"Chuu!" Zapdos exclaimed in excitement; this was the perfect home it had always dreamed of! Mew and Teddiursa were equally astonished.

At that moment, they finally understood what Naoki had meant when he said the World Tree would grow incredibly tall, and they could invite all their Pokemon friends to live there.

Naoki led the three Pokemon to the base of the tree.

Zapdos, filled with enthusiasm, began flying around the World Tree.

Mew, equally excited, flew onto one of the branches.

Naoki stood below, holding Teddiursa, looking up at the magnificent sight.

Seeing Mew's excitement, he figured it was planning to use its Secret Power to build a secret base for the Valiant Adventure Squad within the World Tree.

Naoki smiled and said, "This isn't even the limit for the World Tree. In the future, it will grow to be several times taller than it is now."

The colossal tree rose majestically, housing its own ecosystem within.

Naoki had already started planning for the development of the World Tree.

With its abundant natural energy, the World Tree would be the ideal place for crops and plants to thrive.

It could have its own unique ecosystem, including Olivine, the provider of delicious olive oil; Mount goats that produced milk; Tropical Dragons bearing fruit for Pokemon; Saltrock Golems that manufactured rock salt; the Milk Tanks that produced an abundance of milk; the Three Sweets that made honey; and the Frost Creamies, skilled in making creamy desserts.

Pokemon companions would also staff these shops, ensuring they would never feel lonely, even in his absence.

With these plans, Naoki envisioned that even after he was gone, this group of Pokemon could be self-sufficient, living together happily in the World Tree.

However, it seemed a bit too early to dwell on such matters.

After all, the World Tree had not yet fully grown; its progress was not even halfway there.

Leaving the three Pokemon by the World Tree, Naoki returned to the ranch alone.

Taking advantage of the time while the buns were still steaming, Naoki began building a snowman with the Eevees in the snowy yard.

Time passed, and soon, his sister Ai, who had been keeping an eye on the buns, rushed out to notify Naoki that they were ready.

Upon hearing this, Naoki asked the Eevees to continue playing while he quickly ran back inside and headed to the kitchen to retrieve the freshly steamed buns.

However, this batch of buns was unique compared to the previous two attempts.

They were golden-red, resembling the colors of Ho-Oh.

One look, and he knew they were extraordinary!

Naoki held his breath in anticipation as he looked down at the buns.

【Sacred Bun (SS)

: A legendary dish made from the powdered feathers of the mythical Pokemon Ho-Oh. It is said that those who consume it will receive Ho-Oh's blessing.

Dish Effects: 1. Sacred Ash: Instantly restores all stamina to a dying Pokemon. Healthy Pokemon who eat it will experience a significant boost in stamina and endurance, becoming stronger.

2. Sacred Fire: Fire-type Pokemon who eat it will have their flames transmuted into Sacred Fire. Non-Fire-type Pokemon will permanently increase the power of their Fire-type moves by 20%.

3. Divine Blessing: Pokemon who consume it will be favored by Ho-Oh, experiencing a significant boost in luck. This effect only applies to Mew, Teddiursa, and Zapdos.

Evaluation: A one-of-a-kind dish in the world. Legend has it that those favored by Ho-Oh will attain eternal happiness.】

Naoki's breath hitched as the information flooded his mind.

Wow! As expected of an SS-rank dish, the effects were awe-inspiring! The first effect, Sacred Ash, was said to originate from Ho-Oh itself, capable of reviving the dead, just like in the legends of the Brass Tower in Johto.

The second effect would be especially beneficial to the prematurely evolved Eevee brothers—Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon—compensating for any deficiencies caused by their early evolution.

And true to its name, the Sacred Bun would bestow Sacred Fire upon Flareon, an ability exclusive to Ho-Oh and its guard, Entei, in both the anime and games.

Even non-Fire-type Pokemon would benefit from a permanent boost to their Fire-type moves.

But what intrigued Naoki the most was the third effect.

Divine Blessing, Ho-Oh's favor, a significant boost in luck...

"An artificial Serene Grace ability?" Naoki muttered.

The Valiant Adventure Squad was about to break the game! Teddiursa already had the ability, "Luck," and now with Ho-Oh's blessing and its "Pickup" ability, Naoki suspected that Teddiursa could now safely steal the Original Plate from Arceus without taking any damage...

The thought reminded him of the Felyne comrades in the Monster Hunter games, who could use their "Prowler Ability" to steal materials from monsters like the Black Dragon.

However, the biggest drawback was that the third effect only applied to the three members of the Valiant Adventure Squad.

After all, the Rainbow Feather was Ho-Oh's gift to Mew and Teddiursa, so it made sense that the effects would be exclusive to them.

Nevertheless, this was a massive power-up for the squad!
