Looking at the small object in her Trainer's hand, Milcery's eyes sparkled with longing.
This Strawberry Sweet item looked like an artisan candy shaped like a strawberry, exuding a sweet, tempting fragrance.
If I wear this and spin around a few times, it will definitely increase my Beauty and make me look even prettier, right—
"Nai~"
Milcery looked at Hakuya with a face full of anticipation as he leaned in and personally placed the Sweet on top of her head.
After she excitedly spun in place a few times, the brilliant light of evolution burst forth.
Under the radiant light, Milcery's originally petite body rapidly transformed from a liquid pudding state into a sweet, delicious-looking soft-serve ice cream form.
Illuminated by the blazing sunlight streaming through the window, her pink-and-white body, adorned with the strawberry, not only accentuated her cute, soft aura but also glistened with a beautiful sheen that made one's mouth water.
"I really want to take a bite..."
Having watched the entire evolution process, Hakuya muttered to himself, inexplicably struck by this bold idea.
"Nai?"
Noticing the fleeting gleam in her Trainer's eyes, Alcremie tilted her head. Pure and clueless, she thought Hakuya was just acting like a child and asking for a hug like he usually did.
Thus, with her incredibly considerate personality, she hurriedly floated over and opened her small cream hands toward her Trainer.
"Ah, that's not what I meant. Never mind, never mind. Anyway, congratulations on evolving, Alcremie."
Realizing his earlier behavior might have been misunderstood by Alcremie, Hakuya first chuckled helplessly, then pulled her into a gentle, affectionate hug.
To be honest, he really did like Alcremie.
She had a gentle and considerate personality, and she could create delicious, filling whipped-cream desserts anytime, anywhere.
While possessing an adorably cute appearance, her combat strength was also highly commendable.
Her base Special Attack of 110 and base Special Defense of 121 proved she was not just a mere 'flower vase' Pokémon meant only for show.
Not to mention, Alcremie was one of the few Pokémon that possessed a Gigantamax form.
Upon Gigantamaxing, her appearance would transform from a small cream cake into an exceptionally luxurious, multi-tiered frosted wedding cake, looking as if she were wearing a long, flowing gown.
Her exclusive Gigantamax move—G-Max Finale—had the effect of restoring the HP of all allied Pokémon.
Mmm... much more useful than a certain Gigantamax Duraludon.
After enjoying the soft, cream-like texture of Alcremie's body, Hakuya pulled up the appraisal panel provided by the randomized system.
[Alcremie — Vanilla Cream Form (Shiny)]
[Type: Fairy]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: Lv 25]
[Ability: Wonder Guard (Its mysterious power only lets supereffective moves hit the Pokémon.)]
[Moves: Tackle, Aromatic Mist, Sweet Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, Substitute, Protect]
"Her ability is still Wonder Guard. It didn't change. That's a relief." Hakuya looked at the information on the appraisal panel and let out a soft sigh of relief.
He wasn't sure if the Creator God was pulling strings in the background, but according to the underlying code of randomizers, a Pokémon's ability usually changed after evolving into a new form.
However, whether it was Sprigatito evolving into Floragato earlier, or Milcery evolving into Alcremie now, aside from their physical forms changing, their abilities remained exactly the same.
—It's absolutely fantastic that this god-tier ability, Wonder Guard, didn't get overwritten!
"Alright, it's about time I start making breakfast."
Having finalized the plan to elbow that [Speed Boost] Zygarde in the randomized world tonight, Hakuya glanced up at the Corviknight wall clock, then stepped into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Scallions, ginger, garlic, a full jar of oil, a pinch of salt, a few eggs, several blocks of soba noodles he bought on sale from the supermarket yesterday, and...
Feeling a soft poke at his elbow, Hakuya looked down and saw Alcremie offering him a plate of pre-thawed meat.
Even though her form had evolved, the little creature still retained her gentle, considerate personality.
"Thank you so much, Alcremie."
Hakuya skillfully raised the kitchen knife. With a flash of cold steel, the diced meat was coated in sauce and lightly tossed into the pan.
With Alcremie's help, the breakfast preparation process was incredibly fast.
Accompanied by the bubbling sound of boiling water, the pre-beaten egg mixture was poured in. Moments later, the mouthwatering aroma of Egg Drop Soba with Meat began to waft through the air.
Meanwhile, in the living room outside the kitchen, completely oblivious to the fact that Alcremie had already floated into the kitchen like the lady of the house, Floragato and Latias were still hissing at each other over who should go help.
Because it was an accommodation provided for temporary teachers, the kitchen was naturally much smaller than a standard one.
"Meowha~"
A moment later, having secured victory via Rock-Paper-Scissors, Floragato rushed excitedly to the kitchen door, only to find there was no space to squeeze in. She had no choice but to return to the living room.
The Rosa-fied little jet plane—tsundere but not malicious at heart—shifted her hips hidden beneath her pleated skirt, making room for the returning large cat.
"Meowha?" "..."
The two who had initially been fighting over who would help the Trainer make lunch now looked at the Trainer's busy back, and the petite whipped-cream Pokémon working beside him, and simultaneously fell into silence.
The kitchen was very small. Whether it was Floragato, or Latias in her Rosa form, if they forcefully squeezed in to help, the end result would only be causing trouble and getting in the Trainer's way.
Leaving it to Alcremie seemed to be the optimal solution.
[How strange...]
At this moment, watching the silhouette of Alcremie working in perfect synergy with their Trainer to make breakfast, the Rosa-fied Latias pursed her lips, instinctively feeling a sense of being hosted by the "lady of the house."
Strange.
It must be an illusion.
It's definitely an illusion, right—
Caught in a left-brain/right-brain conflict brought on by her [Contrary] ability, Latias didn't know for a moment whether she should let her tsundere code take over—sitting in the living room and watching her beloved Trainer and Alcremie be all lovey-dovey—or if she should instantly revert to her true Dragon form and unleash a once-in-a-lifetime tsundere self-destruct sequence on the spot.
And then... she tilted her head and fell asleep.
The sofa was too soft, and their battles in the randomized world last night had indeed been too intense. When she had nothing to do, the exhaustion washed over her like a tidal wave again.
She didn't know how long she slept, but a familiar voice eventually reached her ears.
"Alright, food's ready~"
Taking off his apron, Hakuya called out loudly to the cat and the girl sleeping soundly in the living room.
[Mmm...]
The Rosa-fied little jet plane groggily opened her eyes, only to see Alcremie floating in front of her, reaching out with her small cream hands to smooth out her hair, which had gotten messy while she slept.
"Nai~"
Not only did she fix the little jet plane's hair, but Alcremie also considerately patted the equally asleep Floragato awake.
Today's breakfast, aside from the Egg Drop Soba made by Hakuya, also included a meticulously crafted whipped-cream cake made by Alcremie.
"Nai~"
It was the customary pre-meal feeding segment.
Alcremie scooped up a large spoonful of cream cake and gently offered it to Hakuya's mouth.
Perhaps because she had already evolved, facing such a profoundly maternal and brilliant scene, Hakuya felt absolutely no desire to refuse.
—You know, I've always been a firm Alcremie supporter. She and I create a wonderful synergy.
As for the Floragato who hadn't yet evolved into Meowscarada, and the Latias who was currently just a tsundere 'losing heroine'...
"Meowha~"
[La-woo! Delicious! This is super delicious!]
Sitting in their chairs, after taking a single bite of the cream cake personally made by Alcremie, the large cat and the Rosa-fied jet plane tilted their heads back. For some unknown reason, they suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry tears of pure happiness.
Even though just moments ago they had felt displeased by Alcremie feeding their Trainer in broad daylight, the second the fresh, smooth, and rich cream touched their tongues, all thoughts of petty rivalry and fighting for dominance seemed to be completely washed away.
Struggling to suppress the overwhelming feeling of happiness, Floragato and Latias exchanged a glance and arrived at a terrifying conclusion.
We're doomed. I think this cream cake has been drugged!!!
