Naoki's mind fshed with the image of Baby Bear slyly plug a feather from the Zapdos. The Zapdos, enraged by the sudden attack, released a powerful burst of electricity, but Baby Bear, with its quick reflexes, activated its ability quick feet, swiftly dodging the lightning strike and esg from the legendary Pokémon.
After their daring escape, Baby Bear and Mew wandered into a human city. As they strolled through the streets, they might have peeked through windows and seen children drawing in their rooms. Inspired by this, Mew and Baby Bear decided to express their advehrough drawing. They used crayons to sketch their enter with Zapdos on paper, capturing the moment with their own uouch.
Ohe drawing was plete, they pced it along with the Zapdos feather in an envelope. They ha over to a touon friend they met along the way, asking it to deliver the package back to the ranaoki guessed that they didn't use the Pelipper from before because Baby Bear and Mew were still on their journey, not staying in one pce for too long.
'What a fantastic discovery'! Naoki had been p how to find ingredients with electrical properties for cooking, and here Baby Bear had brought him the perfect solution—a feather from the legendary Zapdos. Of course, the assumption was that the Zapdos feather could be used for cooking.
But the real question was, how should he cook with this lightning bird feather? Frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, stewing, boiling—none of these methods seemed quite right. And even if he prepared it, would Dragonite and Pawmi be willing to eat a sharp feather like that? The most basic requirement food meal was that it should be appetizing, and this yellow, sharp feather looked more like something that would scratch your throat than a delicious dish.
Just as he was thinking about it, Dragonite, who had been napping on the grass, rubbed its eyes and sat up. Naoki approached with the feather and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"
Dragonite looked at the feather, clearly troubled.
"Ouch..." 'This seems inedible, right'? Even Dragonite, as goofy as it could be, knew what was food and what wasn’t.
At the same time, after a busy day, Pawmi saw that it was getting dark aedly herded the hens bato the coop. After finishing, it ran towards Naoki. Hearing Naoki ask if it wao eat the feather, Pawmi stopped in its tracks, startled.
"Pawmi?!"
Pawmi looked at the feather, sensing an unusual aura from it. 'But... this thing doesn't seem edible, Right?' Pawmi was also unsure.
Seeing their reas, Naoki sighed internally, "As expected."
If eating it directly wasn’t an option, what if he ground it into a powder? Maybe that could work. After some thought, Naoki decided to give it a try.
However, he didn’t have a crusher at home. Gng at the sky, he saw there was still some daylight left, so he called Gulden and rode to the town.
Naoki remembered that Kora had a crusher. When he and Koraidon arrived at Kora's house, she was in the middle of dinner. Seeing Naoki visiting at this time, Kora was surprised but then smiled, asking, "Are you pnning to expand any more facilities?"
Naoki shook his head, smiling. "No, not this time."
He pulled out the Zapdos feather and said, "I was hoping to borrow your crusher to grind this feather. Is that okay?"
Kora, intrigued, stood up and led Naoki to her studio. She looked at the feather in Naoki's hand and asked, "Is that... a Pokémoher?"
Naoki hummed and looked around. Kora's studio was not as tidy as he had imagined. Instead, it seemed a little messy.
Various tools and workbenches were piled together, wooden boards were leaning against the wall, and there was still sawdust oable that had not been ed up yet.
"I just made a batch of wooden boards this afternoon and haven't had time to up, so it looks a little messy," Kora expined, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay," Naoki said, not g much. His eyes were focused on the crusher.
Kora went forward to plug in the power supply, then pressed the button on the mae: "Okay, you put it in."
Naoki nodded and carefully pced the feather inside.
With the humming sound of the mae, a small amount of yellow powder soon fell from the outlet.
Naoki carefully collected all the powder into a bottle.
As soon as his eyes met the powders, their information appeared in his mind.
[Zapdos Feather Powder: A legendary ingredient, a powder that tains a lot of electrical energy. It may be used to make dishes, the effect is unknown.]
Naoki was thrilled. Not only was it legendary in quality, but it was also his first time entering an ingredient of such caliber.
"If I use this to make a dish, what kind of effect will it have?" Naoki couldn't wait to return home and try it out.
Seeing how muaoki treasured the feather powder, Kora, who was standing beside him, was curious. "What kind of Pokémon's feather is this? It seems really special."
"Zapdos," Naoki replied.
"Zapdos?" Kora echoed, unfamiliar with the name.
"The legendary god of thunder, a Pokémon that trol lightning at will," Naoki expined.
It seemed that there was more than one Zapdos in the world, each varying in strength, but only orue God of Thuhe Zapdos from the Lugia movie. Gathering Zapdos, Moltres, and Artio could even summon Lugia, the legendary Pokémon that trols o currents and storms.
"Although I've never heard of it, from what you said, it must be a very powerful Pokémht?" Kora murmured.
"Yes! After all, it is called a legend," Naoki nodded.
"But I'm curious, where did you get it?" Kora asked.
"Baby Bear gave it to me. You saw Teddiursa at the Spring Cattle and Sheep petition st month."
Kora immediately recalled the Teddiursa that followed Naoki to the petition and apologized to the other ranchers and farmers.
"Its characteristic is pig up?" Kora asked.
"That's right," Naoki firmed.
Kora was surprised. "It's so lucky, isn't it? It actually picked up a feather that fell off a legendary Pokémon."
Naoki grinned, "It's not just an ordinary Teddiursa! Well, it's getting te, I won't bother you anymore. See you ter!"
"Goodbye," Kora said.
Naoki rode Koraidon back to the ranch with excitement. Without lingering iown for long, he went straight to the kit area, looking down at the ingredients and kit utensils that had been prepared in front of him.
"So, what should I do with all this feather powder?" Naoki wondered. As he looked at the bag of flour in the er of the kit, the answer came to him.
"Steamed buns!" he excimed.
He decided to add the legendary feather powder to the flour to make steamed buns.
