Chapter 158: #158 - If I stay, will you still cook for me?

"What's wrong?" Volcanion looked at Ange in puzzlement.

Ange said, "That Pokémon is a bit strange. Let's go home first."

Volcanion hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

At this time, Yveltal on the opposite side had stopped moving, quietly shrinking into a ball, hibernating on the grass.

Then Ange shouted again, "Honchkrow, Murkrow, you guys come back too."

Upon hearing this, Honchkrow immediately led the Murkrow back to Ange's side.

"Gaa gaa ~" Ange, are you okay?

Honchkrow asked.

"Yami ~ Yami ~" Ange, Ange!

"Yami ~ Yami ~" Are you alright? Are you alright?

The Murkrow also asked all at once.

Ange shook his head and said, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry. Don't get close to that Pokémon for now, and also be careful not to let other Pokémon get close."

Although it's night now, it would be bad if any Pokémon came out in the dark and were accidentally injured.

Honchkrow and the Murkrow all nodded.

After giving instructions, Ange took Volcanion, Metagross, and Stufful back home.

"You guys wait for me outside. I'm going into the kitchen to make something."

As soon as he got home, Ange went into the kitchen and carefully took out the three golden berries.

The system required him to use the three berries to make a delicious dish to feed Yveltal, but there was no strict requirement on what kind of dish to make.

Looking at the three golden berries in front of him, Ange fell into deep thought.

What should he make?

For safety's sake, Ange didn't plan to improvise freely, but decided to follow the recipes that the system had already unlocked.

It would be even better if he could make a special-grade food.

After flipping through the recipes for a long time, Ange finally decided to make a fruit pie.

To be honest, desserts were not Ange's forte. He wasn't necessarily better at making them than Magearna was now, but he was worried that letting Magearna do it wouldn't meet the system's requirements, so he could only do it himself.

The first step was to process the three kinds of berries.

After washing the berries once, Ange first picked up the golden Pinap Berry.

The golden Pinap Berry is similar in shape to a pineapple and needs to be peeled. Ange neatly peeled off the skin and then cut it into nail-sized fruit pieces for later use.

Then he picked up the golden Razz Berry.

The golden Razz Berry itself is made up of individual berries, about the size of a fingernail, with the fruits clustered together like grapes. Ange only needed to pick them off one by one and then peel off the skin.

Like the Pinap Berry, Ange put the processed Razz Berry aside for later use.

The last berry was the golden Nanab Berry.

The golden Nanab Berry is similar in shape to a banana, and the bunch rewarded by the system was very large. Ange peeled the golden Nanab Berries one by one and then cut them into pieces.

The fruity aroma of the three kinds of berries was very strong. Ange couldn't help but swallow his saliva while processing them, tempted by the scent.

When processing the three kinds of berries, Ange would use his Aura to smooth the Aura of the berries, making the Aura they emitted more gentle and harmonious.

Finally, mix cornstarch with water evenly, then pour it into the pot, add an appropriate amount of rock salt, and stir-fry until the filling becomes thick.

Put the Pinap Berry filling aside to cool, and then use the same method to make the golden Razz Berry filling and the golden Nanab Berry filling.

The third step is to make the pie crust.

First, mix the fine granulated sugar and butter evenly.

Then add the egg mixture and stir evenly.

Actually, it would be best to add Chansey's egg liquid here, but Ange didn't have any at home, so he could only use chicken eggs instead.

Then sift in the low-gluten flour and knead it into a dough.

Whether it was butter, sugar, egg liquid, or flour, Ange carefully used his Aura to smooth them, making the Aura between these ingredients more compatible, so that the final product would taste more harmonious and delicious.

Then put the dough in the refrigerator and chill for half an hour.

While Ange was waiting, Diancie and Munchlax, worried about him, came down to check on the situation. Seeing that Ange was safe and sound in the kitchen making desserts, they returned to the third floor with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, Ange took the dough out of the refrigerator, rolled it into a thin sheet, put it in a pie pan, and pressed the bottom and sides tightly.

The last step was baking.

Ange poured the previously made fillings into the three pie crusts respectively and smoothed the surface.

Then roll the remaining pie crust thinly, cut it into strips, and weave it into a grid on the surface of the pie.

Then brush the surface of the pie evenly with egg liquid.

Finally, put the three different pies into the oven.

As time passed, the surface of the pie turned golden brown. Ange turned off the oven and took out the three pies separately.

The moment the fruit pie came out of the oven, Ange smelled a rich, sweet aroma. He swallowed his saliva hard again.

He really wanted to take a bite!

At the same time, a description of the three kinds of fruit pies appeared in his Eye of Observation.

Golden Pinap Berry Pie: Greatly increases the eater's goodwill towards the feeder, and greatly provides life force to the eater.

Golden Razz Berry Pie: Greatly increases the eater's intimacy with the feeder, and greatly provides life force to the eater.

Golden Nanab Berry Pie: Effectively calms the eater's emotions and greatly provides life force to the eater.

After reading the Eye of Observation's description of the three kinds of food, Ange's face showed ecstasy!

"That's great!" He couldn't help but shout.

Ange didn't expect that he would actually make three special-grade foods at once!

Volcanion and Metagross, who were waiting outside, were startled when they heard Ange's sudden shout.

Volcanion poked its head into the kitchen and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Ange quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, just shouting casually."

Volcanion thought: Gosh, you scared me!

Suddenly, its nose twitched slightly, "What did you make? Why does it smell so good?"

Ange replied, "I made some fruit pies, but this time it's special, so I can't let you eat them. I'll make them for you next time."

Volcanion's eyes fell on the fruit pie on the table, and it swallowed subconsciously.

Fruit pie... It seems delicious! Moreover, it felt like something in that fruit pie was desperately enticing it.

Eat me! Come and eat me!

Volcanion seemed to see a little fruit pie man waving desperately at it.

It quickly shook its head, shook the fantasy out of its mind, and then pretended to be disdainful and said, "Hmph, who wants to eat it!" After saying that, it retracted its head.

Ange used a knife to cut the fruit pie into evenly sized pieces, then took out plates and a basket, put them into the plates, and then put the plates into the basket.

Coming out of the kitchen, Ange picked up Stufful again, and then said to Metagross and Volcanion:

"Let's go take another look at that Pokémon."

Metagross and Volcanion followed Ange upon hearing this.

When Ange returned to where Yveltal was, he found Yveltal lying there motionless. At the same time, Honchkrow and its Murkrow were lying on the grass in the distance, staring at Yveltal without blinking.

They wanted to get closer, but they were also afraid.

Ange approached Yveltal little by little, then softly called out:

"Yveltal~ Yveltal~"

After calling out twice, Yveltal suddenly opened its eyes, staring straight at Ange, who was so frightened that his heart trembled.

"Yveltal, don't be angry. I don't have any bad intentions, I just wanted to bring you something to eat."

Something to eat? Yveltal was stunned. Someone actually wanted to bring it food!

Since its birth, it had never eaten. Its life had always cycled between destruction and slumber.

After transforming into a Destruction Cocoon and slumbering for a period of time, it would awaken to carry out a great extinction, in order to absorb enough life force. It would then use the absorbed life force to be active for a while before continuing to transform into a Destruction Cocoon and slumber.

Destruction was both a duty given to it by nature and a necessary activity for it to maintain its life.

This time, it was disturbed by humans and awakened from its slumber ahead of schedule. Furthermore, due to Xerneas's interference, it had not absorbed enough life force, so it had landed on this grassland to rest while flying.

Moreover, it had suffered some injuries in the battle with Xerneas.

Seeing that Yveltal was staring straight at him but had no intention of attacking, Ange mustered his courage and moved a little closer.

Volcanion and Metagross behind him couldn't help but sweat for him.

Ange walked step by step to Yveltal's side and placed the three kinds of fruit pies one by one in front of it from the basket.

"Yveltal, I just made these. Try them, they're very delicious."

Originally, Yveltal had no intention of eating, but when it looked at the food, it found that its body was frantically craving it.

"Eat!"

It heard the human opposite it say with a gentle smile.

It was the first time it had seen someone face it with such a smile.

In the past, whether it was humans or Pokémon, they always had a look of horror when they saw it.

Yveltal felt that it was only natural for people to fear it, because it was the God of Destruction! Born to destroy, to maintain the laws of nature.

"Eat it!"

Seeing that Yveltal was still staring straight at him, not intending to eat, Ange urged it again.

Yveltal's gaze towards Ange became even stranger. Did this kid know who he was talking to?!

"Eat it, you'll definitely like it," Ange said confidently. This was a special-grade food!

Yveltal withdrew its gaze from the smiling face of the human opposite it, slowly lowered its head, stared at the food in front of it for a while, and finally opened its mouth and bit into the Golden Banana Pie.

The moment the food entered its mouth, Yveltal felt that the anxiety, irritability, and slight anger in its heart disappeared in an instant.

Not only that, but the soft, crispy crust and sweet, juicy pulp mixed together, gradually awakening its taste buds from their slumber.

Its tongue, which had never played a role before, experienced the ultimate enjoyment at this moment.

Not only that, it also felt that the abundant life force was rapidly merging into its body, quickly restoring its originally weak body.

Is this human food? It's unbelievable.

At this time, Yveltal's gaze towards Ange was full of astonishment!

Withdrawing its gaze, it bit into the Golden Starfruit Pie again. The sweet and sour taste made its appetite wide open, and it simply couldn't stop.

The unprecedented feeling of fullness, the rapid replenishment of life force, and the liberation of its taste buds all greatly increased Yveltal's goodwill towards Ange.

This human is not bad!

After eating the Golden Starfruit Pie, Yveltal swallowed the Golden Banana Pie into its mouth.

Unlike the sweet and sour taste of the previous two fruit pies, the Golden Banana Pie had a more mellow taste and a richer aroma.

At this moment, Yveltal suddenly admired humans a little. They could actually create such magical things.

When it came back to its senses, Yveltal had already eaten all the fruit pies clean, and even smacked its lips subconsciously.

The abundant life force contained in the food completely replenished the part that it had not absorbed enough from the outside world.

"Aww~~"

Yveltal roared towards the sky, its cry echoing in the night sky, with no trace of its previous weakness.

The terrifying aura it emitted made Volcanion and Metagross subconsciously take a step back, but then they quickly protected Ange, one on the left and one on the right, for fear that Yveltal would do something unfavorable to Ange.

At this time, Yveltal's gaze towards Ange no longer had the initial coldness, but had a bit more curiosity and interest.

It was thinking, if it could keep eating the food made by this human, wouldn't it no longer have to absorb life force through great destruction?

In fact, if it weren't for the needs of its body, Yveltal itself didn't like to obtain life force by creating great destruction, even though this was a responsibility given to it by nature.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have such a bad reputation.

Who likes a bad reputation? It's not like it's a pervert.

Yveltal was very tall. When it stood upright, it was at least 6 meters tall, so looking down at Ange was even more oppressive.

"Aww~~" Human, is it okay if I live here with you from now on?

Hearing this, Ange was stunned.

"Live... live here with... me?" Ange stammered to confirm.

Yveltal nodded.

"Aww~" Yes, I live here with you, will you still make food for me?

Ange nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, I will make it for you."

Yveltal's face showed a satisfied smile upon hearing this.

"Aww~" I won't eat your things for free. If you need me, you can just ask.

As long as it could get enough life force, it wouldn't have to transform into a Destruction Cocoon and slumber.

Actually, it didn't want to sleep that much.

Hearing Yveltal's words, Ange's eyes lit up!

That's great!

Yveltal's promise was really reassuring.

"Deal!" Ange said loudly.

Metagross and Volcanion behind Ange exchanged glances with worried expressions when they heard that Yveltal was going to stay.
