This elf world is a bit strange

"Wooper..."

The greedy little guy wanted to cry but had no tears, and disappeared from Firio's sight.

"Eh? Are you... Firio from Carlos's side?"

After exchanging a smile with the dream demon, Firion was about to sit in the health room when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned around abruptly and saw a figure that seemed a little familiar.

"You are……?"

Frowning slightly, Firio looked at the young man in the breeding house work clothes and didn't recognize the other person's identity for a moment.

"Hey, I'm not easy to recognize in this outfit, but you really shouldn't recognize me either." The hearty laughter came from far away, and the young man slowly walked to Firio and stretched out his big hand, which was a little rough due to long-term outdoor exploration. "I'm Papa, and I've been studying in this school for several years. I've been to Carlos before, and I've eaten many of your creations at the dessert conference."

"Ah, I remember now! You ate only slightly less than that guy Shashajin that day!"

Firion slapped his forehead, remembering what happened in Haruka City more than a year ago, and also remembered the identity of this "plot character".

As he had no clear memory of the people and events in Padia, he failed to recognize this guest with an exceptionally good appetite at that time. However, he was deeply impressed by his gentle yet quick eating manner. Now, when they met again and he heard him introduce himself, he immediately found the corresponding person.

"Yeah... I just like tasting delicious food." Papa gathered the hair that fell on his forehead with a bit of embarrassment, turned around and walked towards the health room, saying as he walked, "I didn't expect to see you in the academy. It's a good idea to come to the breeding house to help today. Come in and have a seat."

......

......

Meeting an old friend who was not really an old friend in a distant foreign country was a somewhat novel feeling for Filio.

While drinking the juice handed to him by Papa, Filio asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why didn't you participate in the competition in Kalos? I was a little curious at the time. Your cooking skills should be very good, right? At least you have a good eyesight and can spot the small flaws of the big mouth baby at a glance."

"Actually, I went there to attend the dessert conference, but there was a flight delay, and I was a few hours late. When I got there, the registration was closed."

Piper shrugged, a little regretful, but fleeting.

Thinking of the delicious food at that time, he still had some aftertaste, and praised: "Although I didn't participate in the competition, it was a great experience to eat the desserts you made. I think your dessert making skills are not inferior to those of Teacher Savaro!"

Both of them are gourmets who can cook and love to taste delicious food. Although it was their first chat, a unique feeling of mutual appreciation instantly brought them closer.

Many words were unspoken in the glances.

Compared to Firio who had just arrived, Papa was obviously more interested. He was already impressed by Firio's craftsmanship, and now he saw the real person again, and his excitement was beyond words.

Looking at Filio who was still being modest and polite, he smiled and asked loudly, "Are you coming to Padilla College to study here? I can help you get familiar with the environment. I am familiar with every plant and tree here."

Firio shook his head. "Although I have to stay in the academy for a while, my main purpose is to complete a mission assigned to me by the alliance. It's just that something unexpected happened and I need to stay for a while."

"Ah? Oh, I see..." Papa was a little surprised, but seeing that Firio didn't say much, he tactfully didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject. "Then let's not talk about this. I saw a news report some time ago that you are already a high-level breeder, right? That's really admirable. I'm also working towards this goal, but it won't be possible for the time being."

At this point, he, who has always been confident in his knowledge and operational ability, couldn't help but scratch his head.

His level is considered excellent among intermediate breeders. The main reason why he has not passed the assessment so far is that he has not yet achieved any results in theoretical innovation.

The reason is simple. The topic he chose is a research topic that even the masters stay away from.

【Specific application of legendary seasoning】

The world-famous five legendary seasonings of the Padia region are each produced from extremely rare plants in the Padia Giant Pit.

Now, they are protected by powerful Pokémon and grow in several specific areas. Only there can new legendary seasonings grow.

Even in a local school like Padilla College, there are only a few mother plants that can be used to degenerate and reproduce common seasonings, and the materials are extremely scarce.

But Piper had his reasons for choosing this research. His Mastiff Godfather, who was like a brother to him, was seriously injured while protecting him. Even Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center could only save his life but could not restore him to normal.

His parents' research records mentioned another use for the legendary seasoning, giving him hope of curing the Mastiff Godfather.

"Filio, are you interested in completing this research with me? I heard that you are a very good trainer. Maybe we can get some seasoning from the Pokémon of the Treasure Master."

Looking at Firion, who was in some sense like-minded with him and much stronger than him, he felt excited, as if he saw hope, and decisively extended an invitation.

"Legendary seasoning? I heard that it is a precious treasure that can be used to heal wounds and enhance the strength of Pokémon after being made into food." Filio held his chin, looked at the excited Incubus and Sol, and nodded slightly, "If I have time, I would be happy to help, but I guess I have to wait until I complete the mission."

"No problem! I can wait!"

With a firm fist, Papa's joy was evident, and even his attitude became more enthusiastic.

The two chatted enthusiastically, ranging from the skills of raising children to cooking techniques, and it seemed like they had met each other too late.

But just when the two were talking happily, a pungent smell of burning came faintly from a distance, and it seemed that the direction was right outside the door of the health room.

"Oh no!" Papa slapped his forehead, regretting, "I forgot there was elf food over there!"

As he said that, he jumped up and rushed to the door, intending to make amends, but the pot of Pokémon food had already been completely ruined, and the smell of burnt food lingered for a long time. The Pokémon that originally wanted to come to eat also retreated to a distance, frowning.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This is really a bit tragic. It looks like the pot has been burned through."

Firio curled his lips, looked at the bitter-looking Pepper and the iron pot with a big hole burned in it, and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, little dream demon, take out our stuff. I'm going to show you my skills today. Consider this a meeting gift for you, Papa."

"Machi~!"

......

......

"Phew, I am sorry for the poor hospitality."

The pervasive aroma dispelled the burnt smell in the air, and the Pokémon in the breeding house that had disappeared without a trace were also attracted back.

Firion took off the apron with the Ibrahimovic pattern on it as if nothing had happened and smiled.

Teacher Milia’s new recipe is indeed useful. This general-purpose improved version of high-level Pokémon food can kill all Pokémon with normal tastes.

Except that the raw materials are a little expensive, there are no disadvantages.

He generously used a sumptuous meal to make the Pokémon here remember his appearance, and also let Papper, who had developed the habit of being thrifty since his parents were trapped in Area Zero, feel the power of a little money.

"Wooper~!"

Even little Wu Bo, who had just taken a digestive medicine, secretly escaped from the health room after smelling the fragrance, and slipped out from the "clutches" of his parents and health teacher to join in the fun.

Unfortunately, just when it was about to eat it, it was gently picked up by the big jaws of the big mouth baby.

After a fierce struggle, it escaped and was sent back to its parents with tears in its eyes.

But at this moment, the cute attack was no longer effective. The king's parents picked it up with stern faces and staggered towards home.

“Wooper—”

The mournful cry for help and the aggrieved expression made Firio burst out laughing.

After watching the other party go away, he was about to greet a few Pokémon who were standing a little far away and were afraid to come forward because they didn't know him, when a rough shout came from a distance.

"Paper, I knew you were here to help again! Go back to class... Hmm? It smells good. Have you improved your skills again?"

In the direction of the teaching building, Home Economics teacher Savaro strode over. His rugged appearance and voice were highly recognizable even from a distance.

He was planning to call Papa to go back to class when he smelled an enticing aroma halfway through his walk. He looked closely and saw Firion greeting a Tiblim with a bowl of food in his hand.

“Eh…? Who is this child…?”

He thought he could remember the appearance of every student, so he stood there in a daze, looking at the unfamiliar face that suddenly appeared in confusion, and then turned to look at his favorite disciple.

"Bree~"

Behind him, a slender but extremely graceful Blimwin jumped out of the Poké Ball, with a gentle look and a faint mental power reaching forward, gently wrapping around Tiblim's side, making the shy creature's eyes brighten.

"Taib~!"

Encouraged, the little witch raised her head, picked up a piece of elf food and put it into her mouth.

In an instant, a look of happiness appeared on her delicate face.

Chapter 291: Food Power and the Creation of Pokémon Meals

"I never thought that this Tibliem was actually your Pokémon's child. It turns out that the Pokémon of the teachers at the academy are also fostered in the breeding house after they hatch. This is a great benefit for the students."

Under the shade of the tree, looking at Tibrim who did not forget to hold the elf food even when she was acting coquettishly in Blimwen's arms, Firion laughed silently, with a hint of surprise between his brows.

He always thought that breeding experts like Savaro would raise their own Pokémon cubs, which is also what most excellent trainers do.

But judging from Papa's introduction, this does not seem to be the case.

Not only Savaro, but many school teachers and famous alumni including Ye Ci will keep some of their talented Pokémon in the academy breeding house, waiting for students who are compatible with them.

This has become a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years.

This small and somewhat timid Tiblim was the child born to Blimwen a few years ago. Because of his exceptionally strong mental strength and strong ability to accept emotions, he has never been very good at dealing with outsiders and only likes to be alone.

"We already have many excellent partners. Cultivating more Pokémon is not only difficult to balance, but sometimes it will prevent them from growing well. Only partners who grow up with trainers are the strongest, even though they don't have the best environment and resources. A breeder like you who grows fast should also understand this."

Savaro, who has a rough appearance but a soft heart, deliberately kept his voice hoarse to maintain his "stereotyped personality". He spoke with many suggestions and his eyes fell gently on Blimwen and Tiblim.

"I agree with this view, which is why I think this tradition of Padilla College is truly precious." Filio nodded in agreement, checked the time and said, "Are you here to look for Papa to attend class? I'll take care of this."

"Clean up? No need, just let the people in the breeding house do it. Do you want to come and take a look at my home economics class? This is also a Padiya-style home training course. It would be even better if you could help guide the students. They will definitely be happy."

Smiling and waving his hand, Savaro glanced at Piper who was still eager to see more, and considerately made the invitation on his behalf.

"Home Economics..." Firio pondered for a moment, looked at the Pokémon eating enthusiastically in the distance, and then looked at the mobile Rotom flying around with excess energy above his head, and said happily, "Then I will be more respectful. I also want to learn the breeding theory of Padya."

Anyway, Cellphone Rotom doesn't look like he wants to work anymore, so if he goes to the training ground to meet up with Nemo and Caidou after class, it will be just the right time for dinner.

Thinking of this, Firio stood up, brushed off the grass debris on his pants, and followed Papa, who was unable to hide her joy, towards the teaching building they had just left.

His "temporary student life" in Padia came unexpectedly and earlier than expected.

-----------------

In the classroom, Filio, who was sitting in the corner and looked at Savaro on the stage, couldn't help laughing at his rough teaching style.

In fact, many students also saw some of the reason, but they were kind enough not to expose the teacher's little tricks.

However, the interesting appearance is secondary. As a well-known breeding expert in Padia, Savaro's breeding skills are outstanding. Even if it is just teaching students, Filio can learn from it to some extent.

The cooking techniques inspired by the unique "food power" concept of the Padia region can combine the nutrition of elven food with common delicacies. Although Firion had heard of it a long time ago, seeing it with his own eyes was still a refreshing experience for him.

The sandwich, made just for teaching purposes, was in no way inferior to the best coffee shop in Miare, and even had some magical energy fluctuations.

"Maggie..."

Above his head, the picky little dream demon was drooling with greed, and kept patting Firio, signaling him to learn how to make it for himself as soon as possible.

"You little greedy cat, don't drool on my head..." Firio whispered as his fingertips gently rubbed the soft belly of the dream demon, "But this thing is not very difficult, I will make it for you when I have time."

Although this is a very novel type of Pokémon food, to an expert like Firion it is just a one-size-fits-all trick.

The main reason why Pokémon meals are only popular in a few areas such as Padia is the scarcity of ingredients rich in the special ability of "food power", especially seasonings.

The high-quality seasonings currently popular in Padia are all offspring products grafted and cultivated from the legendary seasonings. As they reproduce and degenerate from generation to generation, their effects have weakened while their yields have increased significantly.

But this also brings up a new problem.

These condiments can only be cultivated on a large scale in the Padia region. Their introduction to other regions has not been smooth, and they are difficult to preserve for a long time. Therefore, although they are not scarce in Padia, they are rare and expensive in other regions.

Over time, this has almost become a "specialty" of the Padia region, and has spawned a whole set of development routes for breeders built around it.

After dealing with the little dream demon's coquettish offensive, Firio calmed down, listened and took notes, and soon wrote several pages of densely written papers, gaining some understanding.

"Machi~"

Feeling an itch on her belly, the little dream demon grasped Firio's fingers, her voice so sweet that it was sickening.

......

......

After all, home economics is a practical course. After Savaro finished his lecture while explaining and making things, Papa, the teaching assistant, went to the podium.

Facing students of all ages, he analyzed Savaro's lectures in detail, explained the key points of the operation in detail, and supplemented it with his own excellent cooking skills. Although he was still a little immature compared to Savaro, he also reproduced the skills he had just taught almost perfectly.

This is undoubtedly a method that is easier for students to absorb and master, and it was unsurprisingly welcomed by the whole class.

And in the audience, looking at the sincere smile on Pepper's face while cooking, Filio was thoughtful.

Compared to when they met, when he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom regardless of his joy or sorrow, he seemed more sunny at this moment.

However, everyone has their own experiences and stories. It is taboo to talk about deep things with people you just met, and he does not intend to know too much about them.

At the urging of the dream demon, he lowered his head again and wrote and drew on the notebook.

By observing closely and using his super powers to perceive, he has already noticed some problems and has his own ideas, even an idea for improvement that is not yet mature but has already taken shape.

As someone who possesses super powers, he is particularly gifted in this regard.
