Chapter 579: Culinary Explosion, Grassy Puffballs Evolve into Resurrection Grass Dumplings!
Taking advantage of Nangguang Gym's day off, Shizuru packed his belongings and, after informing Qi Shu, entered the inverted world where Reversal Rayquaza resided.
Reversal Rayquaza was playing on its smartphone, and since the Arceus incident, it had become the second most popular influencer in the world.
Aside from the Fertility King, no one else could compete with it in a PK battle.
At this moment, Reversal Rayquaza exuded an air of invincibility, ready to retire and enjoy its golden years.
Upon seeing Shizuru approach, Reversal Rayquaza glanced at him with a sideways look and asked in a gruff voice, "What's your business here?"
"Planting some seeds," Shizuru replied without turning his head.
He brought Tridiglett and Riding Goat to an undeveloped island, nodding at Tridiglett.
"Squeak!"
Tridiglett, like a newly appointed officer, straightened up and saluted before diving headfirst into the soil.
The next moment, small bumps appeared on the once-smooth land, and Tridiglett quickly moved beneath the surface.
Soon, the soil on the island became soft and loose.
Shizuru followed behind, scattering the seeds that Dreamy and Teddy had brought back, which could be cultivated.
Once everything was prepared, it was time for Riding Goat to show its strength.
"Maa!"
Riding Goat stepped forward, gently tapping the ground with its hooves. In the next second, a dense green light surged from its body, enveloping the entire field in an instant.
The seeds quickly sprouted, first growing into young seedlings, which continued to flourish.
Before long, the field transformed into a lush green paradise.
Shizuru observed unfamiliar crops he had never seen before, thriving with peculiar-shaped fruits hanging from their verdant stems.
Shizuru's gaze swept across the furrows, and upon understanding the effects of these fruits, his heart filled with joy.
Success!
[Clear Mind Fruit: A special fruit grown from Sleep Seeds that have been reversed into Awakening Seeds. No matter how tired you are, eating one will instantly refresh you, and when used in cooking, it grants the effect of 'Sleeplessness'.]
[Bright Eye Fruit: A special fruit grown from Blinding Seeds that have been reversed into Bright Eye Seeds. It can cure presbyopia and myopia, and when used in cooking, it grants the effect of 'Enhanced Vision'.]
[Restored Vision Fruit: A special fruit grown from Blind Seeds that have been reversed into Restored Vision Seeds. It can cure blindness, allowing both humans and Pokemon to see again, and when used in cooking, it grants the effect of 'True Sight'.]
"..."
"As expected!" Shizuru was amazed by these powerful effects. While these fruits didn't directly enhance Pokemon like the Thunder Bun, their effects, from certain perspectives, were even more impressive.
Curing myopia, curing blindness...
From now on, they wouldn't have to worry about their eyesight deteriorating from smartphone usage.
Moreover, the descriptions of these fruits suggested that cooking them might unlock additional special effects.
Sleeplessness, Enhanced Vision, and True Sight?
"I'm not sure what they'll do, but we'll find out soon enough!"
Shizuru immediately picked two of each fruit, intending to take them home for experimentation.
The environment of the inverted world was unique; the crops here were in a state of 'eternity', never withering or aging.
Even if the fruits were picked, after a while, the crops would absorb the power of reversal and produce new fruits.
Shizuru wasn't concerned about the fruits going bad; he was confident in his plan. After confirming his thoughts, he left the inverted world with a few Pokemon and returned to the ranch.
However, Shizuru didn't start cooking right away. Instead, he stored the fruits, intending to plant the Revive Seeds later and prepare them together.
Speaking of Revive Grass, one couldn't help but mention its effects.
In the game, Revive Grass was comparable to Ho-Oh's Sacred Ash, restoring all the HP of a Pokemon on the verge of fainting. But its taste was incredibly bitter, disliked by most Pokemon.
As for Revive Grass in this world...
Shizuru took out his Lotad Phone and searched online, quickly finding information about Revive Grass.
- [The Secret of Revive Grass's Origin on Tricloud Island!]
The news stated that Revive Grass was a specialty of Tricloud Island in the Unova Region, a unique herb with very specific growing requirements, only thriving in certain locations.
It was said that Tricloud Island was blessed by the Goddess Landcloud, which was why the entire island could cultivate Revive Grass.
However, the Revive Grass described in the news differed in some aspects from what Shizuru knew.
In this world, the Revive Grass does not taste bitter but is incredibly spicy. Although it can restore the stamina of Pokemon, it cannot fully heal those on the verge of death.
Moreover, people in the Alola Region use Revive Grass as an ingredient to create the famous Akala Curry, and it is said that the spicy flavor of Revive Grass gives the curry a unique taste.
"So, are these two Revive Grasses not the same type?"
Shizuru looked at pictures of Revive Grass online and then at the Revive Seeds in his hand, feeling that it was highly likely due to the difference in world settings.
The world he was in had a manga-like setting, where Revive Grass tasted spicy, while the Revive Seed in his hand belonged to a game world, and it tasted extremely bitter.
Thus, despite sharing the same name, the two types of Revive Grass had significantly different effects.
Since that was the case, he decided to promote these genuine Revive Grasses in this world! Shizuru searched the storage room for wood and tools and, with the help of Gogoat, transported the materials to the empty lot west of the chicken coop, near the Treefruit Garden.
This plot of land was located beside the river that ran through the ranch, an excellent spot.
Shizuru planned to create a herb garden here, specifically for growing Revive Grass.
He first marked out the area for the herb garden, then used a hammer to pound wooden fences into the ground to enclose the space, and finally, he used the remaining wood to make a small wooden door.
With that, a herb garden was officially completed.
The next task would be left to Pokemon with the right expertise.
Shizuru offered five Energy Cubes as a reward and summoned Tridiglett. In no time, Tridiglett finished plowing the entire herb garden.
The satisfied Tridiglett left with the Energy Cubes in its arms.
Meanwhile, Shizuru, with Gogoat's help, evenly scattered the thirty-seven Revive Seeds that Teddy had collected across the entire garden.
Finally, it was time for Riding Goat to finish the job.
Amidst a green glow, the seeds broke through the soil and grew into lush, vibrant Revive Grass.
Shizuru's gaze swept across the Revive Grass, and instantly, information about the herbs appeared in his mind.
[Revive Grass: A rare herb grown from Revive Seeds, extremely bitter in taste, but capable of restoring the full stamina of Pokemon on the verge of death. It can also be used in cooking.]
Done!
With that, the Sacred Ash, Revive Grass, and Pokemon World's two divine medicines for reviving the dead were now complete. Together with Life Sheep Milk and the fruits for treating blindness and nearsightedness, there was no Pokemon he couldn't cure.
"I can also update the store's menu now," Shizuru thought.
They had no use for the fruits that treated nearsightedness and blindness, so instead of letting them rot in the ranch, it was better to sell them in the shop to those in need, both humans and Pokemon.
He'd deal with that later; for now, he had more important matters to attend to.
Carrying several Revive Grasses, Shizuru returned to the kitchen.
Qi Shu was not in the room, probably having gone to the Greenhouse for tea.
"I'll start with cooking those fruits first," Shizuru thought.
To see the effects of these fruits' dishes quickly, Shizuru didn't attempt any complex cooking; instead, he brought over a juicer.
The first fruit to be used was the Awakening Fruit.
After peeling the fruit's skin and dropping it into the juicer, the machine buzzed as the Awakening Fruit gradually transformed into a peculiar blue juice.
[Awakening Juice (C): Effect - Insomnia lv1. For a short time, the Pokemon's ability changes to Insomnia for 5 minutes. Humans who drink it will remain absolutely alert for 6 hours, keeping their minds calm and significantly improving learning and work efficiency.]
Shizuru: "..."
He swore that this juice would be Yaci's favorite, and he had to keep it safe from Yaci's knowledge.
However, changing a Pokemon's ability?
For ordinary Pokemon, it might be useless, but for the lazy-natured Sleeptail and the Slowstart-natured Regigigas, the Insomnia ability would definitely be better than their original ones.
There used to be a Lazeez in the ranch, but that Lazeez had become Satoshi's Pokemon.
As for Regigigas, it was probably still slumbering in some ancient temple.
The Awakening Juice wasn't needed for now, so Shizuru started making Visionary Juice.
[Visionary Juice (B-): Effect - Vision Enhancement lv1. After consumption, Pokemon slightly increase their focus, making it easier to spot flying objects and thus avoid them.]
"Huh? Is this the effect of Vision Enhancement?" Shizuru was a bit surprised.
He initially thought it would enhance Pokemon's vision and field of view!
But this was good too; increasing focus and making it easier to spot flying objects significantly impacted Pokemon, to some extent improving the success rate of the "Quick Avoid" move.
The last Revitalization Fruit, Shizuru followed the same steps to squeeze it into juice.
[Revitalization Fruit Juice (A-): Cooking Effect: True Sight lv1. After consuming this, Pokemon gain True Sight in battles, allowing them to counter disruptive moves like Shadow Clone and Substitute, seeing through illusions to identify the real target. There's also a chance for Pokemon to spot their opponent's weaknesses, striking critical hits! ]
Shizuru was slightly taken aback. Isn't this a simplified version of Golden Eye?
The Substitute Poison Strategy might become the biggest victim.
Not only that, but it also increases the chances of Pokemon landing critical hits. The effects of the Revitalization Fruit are incredible!
Even more frightening, all these effects are at level 1. With better supporting ingredients and cooking methods, their effects can be upgraded, leading to more powerful results.
For instance, landing critical hits every time—just thinking about it feels incredible.
Fortunately, there's the Inverted World, or else these fruits might have gone to waste.
Shizuru took a deep breath. Now that he understood the specific effects of these fruits, he had a general idea.
After all, these crops won't wither, and he wasn't in a rush to harvest them immediately and start mass-producing dishes.
There was one more thing to do.
Shizuru turned his gaze to the bamboo basket beside him, filled with freshly picked Revitalization Grass.
He picked one and placed it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. Instantly, an intensely bitter taste filled his entire mouth.
It was an indescribable bitterness. Shizuru quickly spat it out and drank a cup of Sweet Sweet.
However, even after the Sweet Sweet, the bitter taste remained, lingering slightly.
"Is this too bitter?" Shizuru grimaced.
No wonder the game shows Pokemon losing affection when fed Revitalization Grass.
If something this unpalatable doesn't reduce affection, that's strange...
"The Riding Goat probably can't handle this taste either. No, I need to try improving it."
After a moment's thought, Shizuru took out the Honey Core Candy made by the Three Bees from the cabinet. He also found a few sweet-tasting Tree Fruits and mixed them with the Revitalization Grass, squeezing them into a green juice.
Then, he combined the juice with flour to make a dough, which he divided into small pieces and shaped into dumplings before steaming them.
Shizuru set an alarm and planned to visit the Herb Garden again to check on the Revitalization Grass.
On his way, he met Gogoat.
Seeing Shizuru approach, Gogoat, who was playing alone, immediately ran up excitedly, sticking out its tongue to lick Shizuru.
The next moment, Gogoat widened its eyes, its face showing disbelief, as if it had ingested poison.
"Ah gah!"
Gogoat quickly retracted its tongue, using its claws to scrape it, trying to get rid of the taste.
Standing was uncomfortable, so it lay down, eventually rolling around on the grass.
Shizuru was stunned for a second before realizing the Revitalization Grass scent on his hands hadn't been washed off!
Seeing Gogoat's reaction, Shizuru, who had already tasted the Revitalization Grass, quickly returned to the room to get a bottle of Sweet Sweet and poured it into Gogoat's mouth.
After a bottle of honey, Gogoat lay weakly on the grass, its head drooping, looking pitiful.
"Ah gah..."
Shizuru felt embarrassed, but Gogoat quickly forgave him and moved away, fearing the bitter taste.
Shizuru couldn't help but smile at the sight: "Alright, you can continue playing here!"]
After this little interlude, when Shizuru returned to the kitchen, the Grassy Puffballs were already steamed.
Lifting the lid, a burst of steam escaped, revealing dark green dumplings resting peacefully on the white steamer cloth.
[Grassy Puffballs (S): Dumplings made from Revitalization Grass, Sweet Sweet, and Tree Fruit Juice. The sweetness of the honey and fruit neutralizes the bitterness of the Revitalization Grass, resulting in a bittersweet taste with a unique flavor.]
Cooking Effect: Secret Technique: Revitalization Grass. After consumption, the healing power of the Revitalization Grass merges with the Pokemon's energy, significantly enhancing the healing effects of restorative moves. When used at full power, it can instantly restore a near-death Pokemon's health and stamina, but can only be used once before entering a cooldown period. Limited to Grass-type Pokemon.
Special Condition: This revival effect only works on Pokemon with energy control abilities above Champion level.
Evaluation: Secret Technique: Mass Resurrection!
