Chapter 320 The legendary Phantom Fruit, Star Peach, goodbye Lorelei!
After acquiring the skill "Glowing Dishes," Ash can automatically think of combinations of ingredients when he comes into contact with them. He can devise ways to combine ingredients to increase appetite, create dishes that boost energy, and even eliminate fatigue.
These recipes are not in Xiaozhi's mind, but the moment he comes into contact with the ingredients, he can come up with thousands of ways to cook them based on their characteristics. This is the power of glowing food.
Even Snorlax's fiery hot scallion pancake was created the instant it came into contact with the berries and other ingredients.
However, this kind of food is different from energy cubes and the things used for training boosted spirits. Food is food, and it serves to make people taste good, while the main purpose of those other things is training. Whether they taste good or not is another matter.
Although Ash can create special effects with his "Glowing Dishes" skill, the main purpose of this skill is to make the food taste better. As for the medicine or energy cubes used during training, their taste cannot be guaranteed, but they will definitely have a good effect on training.
Ash's cooking is more effective than most of the auxiliary tools and supplies on the market, but it is still somewhat inferior to the experts in this field in the group, such as Ash Ketchum.
The dish prepared for Snorlax not only tastes good and makes it feel full, but it also has the effect of boosting Snorlax's power even while it sleeps.
Snorlax is a Pokémon that grows stronger by sleeping and absorbing what it eats. The more it sleeps and eats, the stronger it becomes. This way of getting stronger is something that countless Pokémon dream of.
But apart from Snorlax, it seems that only Slaking can become stronger in this way.
Of course, it's not that Snorlax can't become stronger through training, but compared to sleeping, training time is limited, and the training time for a Pokémon like Snorlax can't possibly be too long.
If Snorlax could train for a long time, they wouldn't be born with such a wide and fat body. If they can't replenish their energy in time for training, they might even regress instead of progress.
In short, the best way to train Snorlax is to sleep, and Ash also uses this as the basis for his cooking.
After finishing its meal, Snorlax let out a burp. Its stomach, which had been so full from eating countless berries and berries from countless berry trees, was now filled with just three large biscuits.
After eating and drinking its fill, Snorlax collapsed and fell asleep. Ash patted Snorlax's big belly and smiled happily, "It's good that you're full, Snorlax."
"Huff~~~" Snorlax responded to Ash with its snoring, and within seconds, it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Snorlax is a Pokémon that loves to sleep, but it's hard for them to fall asleep when they're hungry. Ash's special Snorlax is an example of this. Because it hadn't had a full stomach, Snorlax hadn't slept for a long time, and now that it had eaten, it just collapsed.
"Everyone, come and eat!" After dealing with Snorlax, it was time for them to have dinner. Everyone rushed over to get their share of food, and the large open space was filled with laughter and joy.
On the morning of the third day, Ash and his friends packed their bags and said goodbye to Nana and the others before heading to the next island. Although Nana suggested that they stay a few more days, Ash, having already rested and experienced most of the scenery of the seven Devil Islands, politely declined.
-
If they had nothing to do, they could definitely stay here for a week to enjoy themselves, but if they have important business to attend to, then there's no way they can.
After waving goodbye to Nana, Ash and his friends continued their journey at sea aboard Lapras.
During these past few days, besides playing on the Seven Fruit Islands, Ash also used the power of Aura and Mewtwo's psychic abilities to create the Energy Cube recipe that "Berry Ash" mentioned. One Berry combined with some other materials can make nearly a hundred Energy Cubes.
If it's only used for training, then one energy cube can last for three days.
Theoretically, it should take four days, but since this was Ash's first time making it, after making all the berries, the best result would probably only take about three and a half days. This conclusion was drawn from observing the shape of the energy cube and the way the energy flowed within it.
According to Ash Ketchum, being able to create an Energy Cube that lasts for three days is already quite good, since Ash doesn't have a dedicated device for making Energy Cubes and relies on Aura and Psychic abilities instead.
To produce an energy block of this quality under these circumstances is already quite an impressive feat.
Ash bought ten of each type of berry. Using them as the core, he could make a thousand energy cubes. With the five types of berries, that would be five thousand cubes. Each training session only requires one energy cube.
In other words, these 5,000 energy cubes can be used for quite some time.
After all, the effects of the five types of energy blocks cannot be stacked, so the idea of using the five types of energy blocks for comprehensive training should be forgotten.
Actually, there is a way, but the recipe requires not only five different kinds of tree fruits, but also a legendary tree fruit as a neutralizer in order to create an energy cube that can comprehensively enhance the training effect.
The fruit of that tree is called the One-Star Peach, and it is hailed as a legendary, dreamlike fruit.
Ash inquired and found that there was no fruit called Star Peach on the Seven Fruit Islands, and they had never even heard of it.
If this information hadn't come from a senior member of the group, Xiao Zhi wouldn't have believed that such a fruit could exist.
It can combine the power of all fruits, allowing each fruit to exert its own characteristics while enhancing its effects to a higher level. Even if it is used alone without any other fruits, it will produce amazing and magical effects.
It sounds like an unbelievable fairy tale, how could a tree fruit have such an effect? It's practically divine!
The islanders of Fruit Seven Island, who have cultivated fruit trees for generations, are unaware of the existence of this fruit, since it sounds like a fabrication.
But since this was told to him personally by [Guolin Xiaozhi], it couldn't be false; it just means they haven't seen it for themselves.
After all, that berry was hailed as the Mythical Berry by Ash Ketchum, a legendary existence. Even he had only encountered it once, obtaining only two berries that time. He had already used those two berries, and used the seeds to plant them.
After a year, the seed had only grown to the size of a sapling. Even with his superb cultivation methods, he was unable to quickly cultivate the fruit tree. Judging from its growth trend, it would probably take at least ten years to fully mature.
He couldn't wait that long, so he has now embarked on a journey to find Xerneas.
If we can find Xerneas and obtain a bit of his life force, we can shorten the growth time of the Star Peach Fruit by a thousand times.
As for where the Star Peach was found, according to Guolin Xiaozhi, it was on the summit of Mount Tianguan.
That's right, it's the legendary Mount Coronet, where Arceus is said to dwell!
Ash didn't see Arceus up there, but he did see a type of fruit he had never seen before. When he touched the two fruits, Ash automatically learned their names: Star Peach.
If given the chance, Ash would like to visit Mt. Coronet. However, according to Ash from the Forest, the closer one gets to the summit of Mt. Coronet, the more powerful Pokémon one will encounter. These Pokémon are not physical entities, but they possess extraordinary strength.
Going there without championship-level skills is just giving away points.
Strength isn't a problem for Ash, who has Mewtwo. The problem is that not every Mt. Coronet has those kinds of trials. Some powerful figures from parallel worlds have said that when they went to Mt. Coronet, they didn't encounter any trials at all, and even when they reached the top, they didn't see any magical berries.
In other words, triggering the trial and seeing the berries might have some hidden conditions, and even Ash Ketchum doesn't know how to trigger those hidden conditions.
Therefore, let's put aside the idea of obtaining the Mythical Berry for now. Ash should focus on finding the legendary Sea God first.
Perhaps the god of the sea knows something?
Time flies, and a week has passed since Ash left the Seven Fruit Islands. Ash and his friends continue their journey at sea, resting on one island each day, and sometimes even two or three islands, so their journey is not fast.
Xiao Zhi wasn't bothered, but two girls always need to go to the bathroom or have other inconveniences, plus they need to eat lunch and dinner, so rest is naturally necessary.
Moreover, facing the boundless sea all day long can sometimes unconsciously create a sense of unease, since you can't see anything but the sea!
The only consolation was that they could encounter some fairies at sea, which added a bit of fun to their otherwise dull ocean journey.
Seven days later, Ash and his friends finally arrived at Citrus Island, an island relatively close to Asia Island!
Based on the example, the journey from Citrus Island to Asia Island should take no more than three days, provided that the ship is not forced to turn back by a sudden storm or other maritime disaster.
Upon arriving at Citrus Island, Ash, a battle fanatic, was taken aback by the island's frenzied battles.
The entire Citrus Island seemed to have entered a state of war preparedness. Everywhere you went, there were battles or on the way to battles. Before coming to Citrus Island, Ash had also read about Citrus Island. This island was not a particularly fierce battle island. Why did it become like this?
"It must be because of this." Xiaoxia casually picked up a poster placed on the roadside. It read: "The Ice Queen Lorelei is coming to Orange Island and will be holding an exhibition match at the island's arena. Trainers who battle on the island will have the chance to randomly receive guidance from the Ice Queen Lorelei."
"Miss Kona is here? I knew it! So that's why the battles here are so intense!" After seeing this poster, all the questions were answered.
Those who are fighting here are probably hoping to run into Lorelei by chance and get some guidance from her. The guidance from the Elite Four is something that money can't buy!
No matter how approachable Kona is, it's difficult for ordinary people to even meet her, let alone receive her guidance.
Now that such a rare opportunity has presented itself to receive guidance from Kona, how could I not seize it?
"Who is Ms. Lorelei's opponent in the exhibition match? Is it mentioned here?" Ash leaned close to Misty's cheek, his gaze falling on the poster in Misty's hand.
Xiaoxia's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't move away. They were already a couple, so wasn't this level of intimacy natural?
"It wasn't mentioned above. It should be an exhibition match contestant officially selected by Citrus Island. Since it's an exhibition match, Master Kona probably won't use her true strength. Besides, there are no protective devices here. If it were a battle between a Champion or even a Champion-level player, it would probably affect the surrounding audience seats," Xiaoxia guessed.
Ash nodded in agreement. Battles between Elite Four level and above require special protection measures; otherwise, the impact on the surrounding area would be enormous, and the entire audience area could be destroyed if not handled carefully.
The spectators who came to watch the game were all in mortal danger!
The near-accident at the Quartz Conference is the best proof of this.
"That's right. The person I battled was an official from Citrus Island. The Pokémon I was battling was probably only at a professional level. This level of Pokémon is just right—it's good enough for the performance without making the battle seem too childish."
"Right? I knew it—ah! Master Kona!" Xiaoxia answered with a smile, but then suddenly realized who was talking to them. She turned around and saw Kona, dressed in a business suit, standing gracefully behind them.
"Long time no see, Ash and Misty~ Actually, it hasn't been that long, it's only been about a month." Lorelei waved her fair little hand to greet the two of them.
Serena stared intently at Lorelei, her pretty face somewhat lost in thought—Is this really Lorelei, the Ice Queen?
Serena's first impression of Kona was that she was beautiful, exceptionally beautiful! And—what an exaggerated figure! It looked like her clothes were about to burst out of their sockets!
