"Dinner is served!"
With Kaito's command, activity stirred throughout the farm.
In the fish farm, Krabby were eating feed made of Gungun Bean and startling algae. In the cow and sheep sheds, Miltank and the Mareep flock were eating feed made from Wawangu rice, bleating occasionally.
In the yard, Arcanine, Gardevoir, and other Pokémon lined up, each receiving their share of tail from Kaito. Besides the Slowpoke Tails, there was also Wawangu rice and other feeds and dishes. It was a lavish feast.
The system notified: Task Completed: Perform one cooking session. Task Reward: Gourmet Power.
Kaito felt a sudden, distinct energy surge within him. He instinctively used the ability on the tail on his plate. The roasted tail suddenly emitted a light, as exaggerated as the dishes in a food competition, illuminating Kaito's face with a golden glow.
He checked the item details:
Name: Roasted Slowpoke Tail
Grade: Wobbuffet Class
Rating: The roasting time and heat were moderate, the ingredient quality was decent, but there were deficiencies in seasoning and other aspects. It will be loved by carnivorous Pokémon.
Effect: Consuming it provides some experience points, increases strength, cures frozen status, and increases skill power by 20% for five minutes.
Kaito noted the system's classification. Gourmet Power roughly categorizes food into six grades, from low to high: Unranked, Koffing Class, Wobbuffet Class, Milcery Class, Copperajah Class, and Charizard Class. Wobbuffet Class, ranked third, was considered a decent delicacy, providing multiple effects.
"This seems to be the food classification from Pokémon Sword and Shield, I see…" Kaito nodded slightly. His Gourmet Power could be broadly summarized into two abilities: Firstly, enhancing the deliciousness of food and imparting different effects. Secondly, discerning the deliciousness and effects of food.
He understood that if he had the chance to use secret seasonings in the future, he would surely create top-tier delicacies.
Kaito picked up a skewer and took a bite. The rich, fragrant tail meat immediately released hot juices upon entering his mouth. It was as if countless aromas danced on his tongue, and an extreme sense of pleasure filled his brain. The soft, glutinous tail meat turned into juice and flowed into his stomach, making his whole body feel warm, as if soaking in a hot spring. Kaito could understand why this Roasted Slowpoke Tail could cure the frozen status.
While enjoying his meal, Kaito looked up. Arcanine and the others were eating with great relish, clearly enjoying his barbecue very much. The previously lively scene had suddenly quieted down; only the relatively noisy sounds of chewing remained. Everyone was focused on enjoying the delicious food.
At the main entrance, several figures stood outside the door, looking into the courtyard with envious eyes; they really wanted to eat too.
They were quite peculiar. They were propping themselves up with their large tails, making their bodies taller. They had a very descriptive name—Sentret.
Kaito grabbed a few skewers and stood up. Seeing this, the Sentret were very alert and immediately wanted to run away, but Kaito gave them a very peaceful feeling. In the end, they did not leave, but stayed put, wanting to see what Kaito would do.
Kaito placed the meat from the skewers into individual bowls, setting them before these eight Sentret, and said softly: "Have some. Trust me, it's delicious."
"Da Qiu?"
The eight Sentret hesitated, but in the end, they were very honest with their desires, and all began to gobble it down. As soon as the food entered their mouths, their eyes widened, for they had never tasted such delicious food.
Coupled with Kaito's Viridian Power, which felt like a spring breeze, the leading Sentret called out to him: "Da Qiu Da Qiu."
"Oh?"
"You want to stay on this farm?" Kaito was a little surprised.
Actually, he also wanted these Sentret to stay, but he didn't expect them to speak up first. Sentret are lookout Pokémon. They are very nervous and vigilant by nature, using their muscular tails to stand taller and take turns standing guard while sleeping. The Sentret on lookout duty will alert its partners to danger by screaming loudly or slapping the ground with its tail. If the farm had such a team of Pokémon, there would be no need to worry about hidden dangers. And with eight of them, it would be enough to manage the current farm, and they could even take turns on lookout.
Kaito suddenly realized that with his enhanced Viridian Power, he could easily gain the trust of Pokémon, and they were all willing to stay by his side. Coupled with his excellent cooking skills, the delicacies he made could even have different effects on Pokémon, further earning their favor. He could already foresee a future where the farm would be filled with all sorts of Pokémon.
Kaito reached out and shook hands with the Sentret, smiling: "Welcome to our team."
The system notified: Enjoyed a delicious lunch with the Pokémon, discovered the item Mega Pendant.
The Mega Pendant was described: A pendant inlaid with a Keystone, which, when combined with the corresponding Mega Stone, can allow a Pokémon that shares a strong bond with its Trainer to Mega Evolve.
A Keystone? "It's a good item, but I can't use it yet. Only when I have the corresponding Mega Stone will I have the chance to Mega Evolve." Kaito thought. This can also serve as one of my future research papers.
Kaito has successfully secured his farm and is now prepared for the next stage of his journey: utilizing his Gourmet Power to its full potential and maybe discovering a Mega Stone!
