Levi was pondering the Smoked Round Citrus Juice in his Special Dish pokédex.
“Friendly Reminder: The difficulty of this special dish is slightly higher than the player’s cooking level, and there is a high probability of failure.”
“Understood, another Schrödinger’s dish.”
There is Berry Juice on the market, which is made by juicing ordinary Round Citrus, and it does have the effect of restoring stamina.
This was the first time Levi had heard of Smoked Round Citrus Juice.
This meant that if Levi asked the old man, he would probably only be able to give Levi some advice based on experience.
Levi clicked on the video details, and his vision changed instantly.
A woman spread fresh Round Citrus on a bamboo mat and smoked it with pine branches.
From sunrise to sunset, over the course of three days of smoking, the woman turned them over every half day until the surface turned black and the inside was completely dry.
Soaking, boiling, turning from high heat to low heat, pouring it out and adding water, then boiling again, adding rose flowers…
Exiting the video, Levi wrote down the entire process the woman used into his notes, including the boiling time.
“Very good, I can try smoking it tomorrow after I buy the Round Citrus.”
Although the system kindly reminded him that it might fail, he would never improve if he didn’t practice.
…
Another half month passed in dull training, and the New Year arrived.
Levi’s parents, Uncle Liven, and Aunt Mizuho had all returned to Celestic Town.
Only his cousin Vera could not return because of work.
Unlike the stout and carefree Leon, Uncle Liven was dressed in a suit and looked like a wealthy bachelor.
Although…
his hair was a bit bald.
After all, as a famous designer and tailor, it was normal for his hair not to be preserved.
Seeing that Vera hadn’t returned, Leon looked at his brother Levin with confusion, “What’s going on, why can’t she come back even now?”
Uncle explained: “She went to the Eterna City ancient ruins.
I heard a batch of inscriptions was unearthed, and even the Champion went there.”
Leon was dismissive of this, “Ancient ruins, don’t we have them in Celestic Town too?”
Wen Hui rolled her eyes at Leon, “The ancient ruins in Celestic Town and Eterna City are not the same.”
Levi, who was silently watching the drama on the side, was deep in thought.
Eterna City ancient ruins…
In his impression, it was where either the Lustrous Orb or the Adamant Orb was kept, but he couldn’t remember which one exactly.
These two orbs were about the Sinnoh time and space deities, Dialga and Palkia.
Speaking of the time and space deities, besides the theatrical version, Levi also had an impression of Team Galactic.
Team Galactic had long been exposed.
No one expected that a regular enterprise that maintained a good image externally, claimed to develop space energy, and had Galactic Buildings in Veilstone City and Eterna City in the Sinnoh region, was actually a secret organization.
The system suddenly made a “ding” sound.
Levi, who was silently watching the drama, was startled.
Team Galactic had at most some remnants left, they wouldn’t still want me to solve Team Galactic, right?
Fortunately, the system was not that crazy.
Side Quest:
[A Meeting Across Time and Space] (Optional): The Sinnoh region, which has many ancient ruins, has left behind precious wealth in the long river of history.
The people of Celestic Town should strive to be the first to try to unravel the secrets of the ancient ruins and trace the tracks of Legendary Pokémon!
[Phase 1 Quest Goal]: See one of Dialga, Palkia, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit.
[Quest Reward]: Choose 1 trace information for a Mythical Pokémon.
Levi, who was watching the drama, was almost stunned.
The quest goal was to see one of the time and space deities or the Lake guardians, and the reward was trace information for a Mythical Pokémon!
Coming to the Pokémon world, if one said Levi had no interest in Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, that would be a lie.
Darkrai, Diancie, Zeraora, Victini, Jirachi…
These were all Mythical Pokémon that Levi liked very much.
Especially since Levi had a Diancie-ite.
It wasn’t that Levi hadn’t thought about capturing them, or building a friendship with them like Ash.
The chance to get them was right in front of him, Levi had to consider if this was the only chance in his life…
Recast the glory of Mythical Pokémon!
Mythical Pokémon could also increase the fame of the breeding house.
Accept.
Levi chose to accept without hesitation.
Hesitating for a while would be disrespectful!
…
The elders’ chat was very jumpy, and soon it went from cousin Vera to Levi.
Looking at the Shiny Metang, Levin sighed:
“Levi has even captured a Shiny Metang.
I remember the former Hoenn Champion Steven had a Shiny Metagross.”
Steven had long since given up being Champion and went mining.
Leon punched his palm with one hand and said excitedly:
“Understood, understood, my son = Steven, which means my son has the bearing of a Champion!”
Levi, who was watching the drama, almost spat out his drink.
You guys are too good at equations!
Aunt Mizuho patted Levi’s shoulder, “That’s right, our Levi’s height and appearance are not inferior to Steven at all.”
Levi’s passive skill — Spotlight (Master Level), no need to say more.
Levi is really not inferior to him.”
“?”
Everyone turned their attention to Levin.
They all had the confusion of bystanders on their faces.
We don’t do bragging here.
Levin blinked, “Haven’t I said that before?”
Everyone said in unison, “No.”
Levin rubbed his chin and explained: “The current Hoenn Champion Wallace came to find me to design clothes for the Contest, and the former Champion Steven also came.
I designed them, and they were quite satisfied.”
Aunt gritted her teeth and said: “You actually didn’t make a sign saying you designed clothes for them!”
Levin wiped his sparse hair and was about to cry, “That’s too tiring.
I don’t have much hair left, I’m about to give them names!”
“…”
Looking at her husband’s sparse hair…
Aunt couldn’t say anything.
The argument between the two gave Levi some inspiration.
Using connections was a good choice.
Having attended trainer school and traveled outside, Levi still had some connections.
…
Uncle was indeed very busy.
He returned to his hometown for two days and had to go back to be a tailor for work.
Because of the big order he just took, 5 million.
I heard it was to design a dress for the princess of some kingdom, Princess Salvia.
Before leaving, Uncle expressed strong support for Levi’s choice to study breeding and cooking.
“Levi, you must study hard…
Don’t forget your grandfather’s teachings, so I won’t be scolded by the old man!”
Levin wiped his tears and sobbed like a drama queen.
“…”
Uncle, you have too much drama!
It should be said that both of you brothers are drama queens!
The old man who happened to pass by used a death stare on Levin like a head teacher!
Fortunately, it took Uncle less than 10 seconds from getting on the car to starting it.
“I haven’t gotten on the car yet!!!”
Only Aunt was left messy in the wind.
