Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 350 No Road Race No Road Race
Although Cattleya remained defiant, claiming she hadn't spied on her actions, she was fully aware of many of the things she had done.

Guangtai complained, "Superpowered people are really scary. I remember the young lady telling someone not to misuse their ability to foresee the future."

Cattleya twirled her hair with her fingers, humming softly, then muttered to herself, looking down:

"Long-winded."

She no longer wanted to refute Guangtai's teasing, because others in the group had made similar comments before.

The Awakened One in the Johto region who cultivated Awakened Power mentioned this matter, but...
"It's not like I'm the only one abusing it."

"Ichiki, Sabrina, and that even stronger psychic. Aren't they all using it?"

However, despite her nagging, Cattleya showed no signs of annoyance; instead, she maintained a peculiar smile, as if she were enjoying herself.

Lightmoss sensed some of the emotional changes in Cattleya.

"Is that so? Is it because Mr. Shi Lan, the butler, is not here, so you feel uncomfortable without anyone to 'restrain' you?"

Bickering with Shi Lan is also part of daily life. The butler will advise the head of the family to pay attention to his words and actions, while the willful young master and young lady will respond with "nagging". This has become a fixed daily routine.

Guangtai: "This ability to foresee the future may be restricted at any time, commonly known as a plot-driven death."

Cattleya: "Hmph, no way. I'm the strongest."

Seeing the blonde young lady's nonchalant attitude, Guangtai couldn't help but think that this was no different from planting a flag.

What if my superpowers and martial arts skills were sealed?

However, if superpower masters like Gadriya, or Natsume, or Itsuki were sealed away, they would truly become powerless.

But let's make dessert first.

"Come out, heat Rotom."

Lightmoss tapped the C-device, and a giggling, heated Rotom popped out. This special electric Pokémon piqued Gadria's interest, even though she already knew of its existence.

"Interesting. This Pokémon seems to be able to get inside electrical appliances and keep changing its form, right?"

Lightmoss got busy: "Rotom also exists in the Sinnoh region. In fact, this Pokémon was first discovered in Sinnoh, but the discoverer concealed its existence. He wanted to study Rotom in depth and claim all the credit for it."

"Eh~ Another one of those boring people who want to possess this power?" Gadria rested her chin on her hand. "I'll catch one myself later. This kind of Pokémon looks quite lively."

"It will definitely bring some color to my boring life."

Although Gadria is an expert in psychic abilities, she is not averse to catching Ghost-type Pokémon. As if to prove something, she released a Sableye.

"Look, the fighting style of the Soul-Snatching Eyes that you suggested to me before, I specifically went to subdue this child in order to carry out that tactic."

"Hmm, I didn't pay attention to it before, but after I subdued this child, I realized that the child's eyes are really beautiful, and the ruby ​​on his chest is also shining brightly."

The Soul-Eyes stayed quietly beside Cattleya; this guy's personality was "cowardly".

"Hehehehe~" The heated Rotom was working, its sturdy machine body emitting a red light representing the high temperature, and Lady Gothia from Cattleya was also helping out during the production process.

During her time traveling and living in Cattleya, Miss Gothic took care of all the housekeeping duties. She was more like a head maid than a Pokémon, and was practically an all-rounder.

This prompted Guangtai to speak while working and pondering:
"If you need a butler, why doesn't Miss go and tame two servants who love to serve you?"

"Aegislash?" Cattleya blinked. "What kind of Pokémon is that?"

"A special Pokémon found only in the Galar and Padia regions. It looks like a cute little goat-man. Males and females have different abilities. It can read other people's feelings with its horns and acts like a butler, always by its master's side taking care of everything."

Guangtai thought that it was probably normal for Galaria not to know the Pokémon of Galar and Padia because she could hardly go out in the past and her activities were limited to Johto and Sinnoh. Unova was a new region that she was visiting for the first time.

However, they are very rare to encounter in the wild, making them a rather rare Pokémon species.

Moreover, these Pokémon were added in a later generation. If they had been in the previous generation, given Cattleya's status, they would definitely have been a common sight in the Battle Castle.

"Male Love Servantes use their spiritual powers to anticipate their trainers' actions and take care of their daily needs. Positive emotions are their source of energy."

"Female Servantes are very good at taking care of children. They dislike fighting and will diligently take care of people and Pokémon in order to seek happiness and gratitude."

The prototype of Ebenezer is based on the Feathered Fairy, also known as the Brown Fairy, a female ghost in English folklore. She is also considered a fairy who helps people with housework and is similar in appearance to a maid.

Because they are "fairies", the chances of them meeting are very low.

However, it is a strange phenomenon that the servant, who is a fairy and whose prototype is a fairy, has "superpower attributes".

Gadria immediately activated her PokéDevice and, after a continuous search, finally saw what this Pokémon looked like.

"Ah, they really are. These two are on the list of Pokémon in the Galar region. However, it seems that no Psychic-type Pokémon masters are using them."

"The rare Pokémon that are highly sought after among the nobility will also appear at the Pokémon Center and take on the role of caregivers."

"It's quite cute, I like it very much."

She had the idea of ​​capturing two of them to help her. As for Galar, she could meet them by crossing the sea, which wouldn't take too much effort for Cattleya.

Ding—The Rotom oven is on!
Miss Gothic then telekinetically moved the tea over as well.

This is of course Sanyao Famous Tea.

"Miss, please have some."

Mitsuki mimicked the butler's tone as she brought over the dessert, but Cattleya retorted, "It should be 'Enjoy your meal' instead."

"But it smells so good, I forgive you."

"These are the ones made at the Sanyou Restaurant? Besides the Dragon Tooth Cake, there are other desserts too. Not bad."

Guangtai introduced the dishes: "Chrysanthemum leaf-scented baked bread and pastries have a rich flavor, are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with distinct layers, and will make you feel happy when you eat them."

"The Wishing Apple Pie is made with sweet apples and wild apples. If you find a whole apple in it, it means you are very lucky."

"Unconventional Corn Tiramisu. Made in an unorthodox way, this tiramisu relies solely on the sweetness of corn to make it a delightful treat."

These are all dishes I learned to make at Sanyo Restaurant, part of the "Rat Cuisine"; those sentinel rat dessert chefs are really amazing.

After being prepared using unique cooking techniques, they acquire special powers and culinary abilities. Further enhanced by the identity of the extraordinary chef, they develop amazing flavors and aromas, and also come with a 20% discount on ingredient purchases.

Of course, taking this opportunity, Guangtai also experimentally created a new dish.

"What is that? It smells so good." Cattleya was quickly drawn to the last dessert, her eyes glued to the pink treasure.

Lightmoss: "Enchanting Pouflei, a dessert used to greatly increase the friendship and affinity of Pokémon. Both humans and Pokémon are attracted by its unique aroma and have their aggression and negative emotions reduced."

"Do you know about bouillet? It's a dessert from the Carlos region, with a wide variety of flavors and levels."

I baked several portions of moss and tasted them myself first.

A strange feeling rose from my heart. The fatigue and pressure that had accumulated in my heart melted away quickly, like ice and snow meeting the sun. Even the desire to fight was greatly reduced.

The flowing emotions converged, giving rise to many thoughts and fantasies in the mind, an irrepressible excitement, which eventually subsided like waves lapping against the beach, but the joy and excitement lingered for a long time.

"So that's how it is. This is the essence of allure."

Speaking of famous snacks in the Unova region, only Flying Cloud Ice Cream and Little Village Sandwich are truly noteworthy. In terms of dessert and snack culture, it is far inferior to the Carlos region.

Feiyun Ice Cream and Little Village Sandwich are actually a comparison and microcosm of the food culture of the United States. The former represents industrialized products, while the latter is a small and exquisite food made by hand.

Looking at the dazzling array of desserts before her, the overflowing aroma evoked a sense of nostalgia and happiness in her.

"When I was in the Battle Castle, I was forbidden from going out and from fighting. My only spiritual sustenance at that time was the desserts at afternoon tea. Shi Lan would deliver these meals to my room on time, which was the happiest time of my day."

"However, since coming to Unova, I haven't eaten these things for a long time. Desserts can weaken one's will and give one a sense of satisfaction that this is good enough. So, I only go to a famous local restaurant to enjoy these desserts after I have achieved my goal. It is a reward for myself."

Cattleya gracefully began to enjoy the desserts. At first, she was simply tasting them with a happy heart, but gradually, the joy, happiness, and various positive emotions contained in these desserts flowed into her heart like a stream, and even her soul trembled slightly as a result.

A source of happiness, a chance encounter, a brand new life.

A mix of emotions welled up inside her, indescribable in words, and could only be felt with her heart. She fell silent, and in the vast villa, only the slow ticking of the clock remained.

After a long while, Cattleya exhaled softly, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied. I feel much better, as if I've had a short dream."

"Both the strength and the cooking meet my standards."

A peaceful dream bathed in sunlight, a sweet dream enveloped in fragrance.

Gadriya felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before, not even when she was with Wanlong or the Big Head Doll since she came to Unova.

Only the person in front of her could bring her such a tranquil moment. Thinking of this, an unusual emotion welled up in Cattleya's heart.

She slightly raised her eyes and glanced unnoticed at someone not far from her.

But the moss was pondering.

In theory, desserts are eaten after a meal; they provide a refreshing and pleasant taste, helping to "reset" the taste buds and bring a sense of happiness.

However, eating dessert before meals seems to help suppress appetite, thus aiding in weight loss.
"You're so fussy. I'll eat whenever I want."

Gadriya glanced at the pensive Guangtai and seemed to immediately see what Guangtai was thinking: "Shilan used to have the same thoughts. I know what you're thinking."

Then this elegant young lady stood up, or rather, "floated" up, her eyes filled with a smile:

"Let's study how to get into the underwater ruins."

"Of course, before that, we'll teach you how to 'fly,' which will also be used in exploring underwater ruins. By using your superpowers to create barriers and control your body to move freely, you can separate yourself from the seawater and avoid triggering the mechanisms below."

"Well, from now on, I am your 'teacher'."
