That’s a cream smoothie!

  Naoki realized he had all the equipment and ingredients at home: Moo Moo Milk, goat milk from the Gogoat, cream from the Alcremie, and plenty of berries.

  The mae was a brand new multifunal juicer that he had just bought from towerday. inally, he inteo use it to make tree sap drinks for the Pokémon, but it turned out to be perfeaking smoothies too.

  Excited by the idea, Naoki hurried back to his kit.

  He opehe fridge and took out a of fresh milk and a variety of berries.

  However, there was no i the fridge. After thinking for a moment, Naoki headed outside to find G.

  “Bu-yi?”

  Although G looked a bit fused, it used its Ice-type powers to dense a block of id ha over.

  "You’ll find out soon." Naoki gave G a pyful wink.

  Still puzzled, G tilted its head: “Boo-yi?”

  Without expining further, Naoki returo the kit.

  He pced the Moo Moo Milk, sugar, ice cubes, and a blue-colored Berry that he had prepared into the juicer, switched it on, and began making the smoothie.

  As the mae whirred to life, the ice shattered, and the Berry and milk slowly bleogether.

  The Berry had a distinct fvor, and the smoothie created from it turned a striking sky-blue color.

  , Naoki prepared the whipped cream.

  He called over Alcremie, who immediately came running when it heard it would be helping with desserts. With Alcremie’s assistahey whipped up a rge bowl of fluffy cream.

  "It’ll be ready soon," Naoki said.

  When the juicer finished blending, Naoki unplugged it and carefully poured the smoothie into several transparent gsses he had set out.

  He g the cloud-white cream Alcremie had made and then at the sky-blue smoothie, and suddenly a vision came to mind.

  'White clouds drifting in a clear blue sky, peaceful and serene.'

  Inspired, Naoki decided to get creative. Instead of simply filling the cups with the smoothie all at once, he poured in a yer of the smoothie first, then added a dollop of cream, repeating the process until the gss was filled.

  From the outside, it looked like soft, fluffy clouds floating in a blue sky.

  Naoki he creation "Cloud Smoothie" in his mind. He added a final touch by squeezing the cream into a spiral shape, topping it with a bright red cherry as a garnish.

  In no time, the creamy smoothie with its perfect bance of color, aroma, and taste was plete.

  Alcremie, standing beside him, admired the masterpiece with sparkling eyes. "Mree! Mree!" It was clearly impressed, amazed at how much the dessert resembled a real cloud.

  "All done!" Naoki beamed, looking down at the fireat as information about the smoothie suddenly appeared in his mind.

  [Cloud Smoothie (B+): A delicious dessert made with premium fresh milk, ice cubes made by Pokémon, cream from Alcremie, and tree fruits.

  Cooking Effebsp;After ption, slightly increases the ces of Ice-type Pokémon learning Ice-type moves.

  Additional Effebsp;Slightly boosts favorability for Ice-type Pokémon.

  Evaluation: A dessert that make Pokémon feel incredibly happy!]

  "Huh!" Naoki thought, a familiar realization hitting him. This description reminded him of another dish he had made befrass Dumplings!

  The Grass Dumplings had a simir effect, slightly increasing the ce of Grass-type Pokémon learning new Grass-type moves. After ing tless dumplings, his three simple Gogoat had evolved into formidable Grass Holy Swordsmen.

  Naoki had been trying to replicate that effect with other dishes, but hadn't succeeded—until now.

  Finally!

  It was like pnting flowers that wouldn't bloom, only to actally grow a full tree by mistake.

  With excitement growing, Naoki looked over at G. 'If G eats Cloud Smoothies every day, could it transform into the "Ice God," just like the three Gogoat had bee the Grass Holy Swordsmen?

  His ranch already had the "Holy Swordsmen of Grass," the "Thunder God" Pawmo, and now it seemed like an "Ice God" was in the making.

  "My ranch is truly filled with incredible talent!" Naoki thought, brimming with excitement as he sped up his preparations.

  Before long, over a dozen cups of Cloud Smoothie were ready.

  Naoki called over Cyclizar and Koraidon, asking them to help distribute the smoothies to the Pokémon.

  Naoki found G lying peacefully on the grass and approached it with a cup of the Cloud Smoothie in hand.

  "Care for a taste?" Naoki gently pced the cup in front of G.

  "Buyi." G blinked, looking curiously at the smoothie. From a dista had already caught the sweet st mixed with a refreshing, corance.

  Though G had a secret love for sweets, it kept that side hidden from others. But now, with the delicious treat in front of it, G couldn’t resist. It licked its lips quietly before stepping up to the cup, keeping its calm demeanor intabsp;

  With a soft lick of its pink tongue, G tasted the cold, creamy mixture. And in that moment, it was pletely won over.

  'Delicious!'

  "It’s good, isn’t it?" Naoki smiled, watg G, normally so posed and reserved, enjoying the treat with obvious delight.

  He made a mental note of G’s sweet tooth.

  G polished off the entire oothie in a siting, sav each drop. Now came the moment Naoki had been waiting for.

  "Do you feel any ges?" Naoki asked, eyeing G closely.

  "Buei?" G tilted its head, puzzled. After carefully assessing its body, it shook its head—no noticeable ges yet.

  Naoki houghtfully. 'It seems like one smoothie isn’t enough to help G unloew Ice-type moves.' But he atient. With sistent treats like this, one day Gight unlock more powerful abilities.

  "Would you like some more?" he asked, grinning.

  "Buyi." G hesitated, its eyes clearly saying 'yes', but it didn’t want to appear greedy in front of Naoki.

  Amused, Naoki chuckled at G’s shy dispy. "Don’t worry! It’s fine," he said gently.

  "Bu-yi!" G realized its longing for more had been discovered, and its face turned slightly pink as it quickly looked away, embarrassed.

  Naoki couldn’t help but smile. 'This G is more expressive than it lets on,' he thought to himself.

  When they first met, G seemed distant, its cold demeanor keeping others at a distance. But now, Naoki could see past that icy exterior. Whether it was G’s quiet appreciation of flowers or its newfound love for sweets, this Pokémon was full of subtle, geraits.

  Naoki realized this was a golden opportunity tthen their bond. 'Maybe a few more Smoothies and G will warm up to me pletely!'

  With that thought, he looked after G, knowing their friendship was just beginning to blossom.
