Chapter 479: The villain Rayquaza in the Dream?
Chapter 479:
First, Kaede glanced at Blaziken’s stats panel.
[Pokémon: Blaziken]
[Gender: Male]
[Ability: Speed Boost]
[Potential: Gold]
[IVs: HP (25) Attack (31) Sp. Atk (31) Defense (20) Sp. Def (19) Speed (31)]
[Level: 71–73]
[Moves: Ember, Peck, Quick Attack, Flame Charge, Sand Attack, Aerial Ace, Night Slash...]
After consuming one SSS-grade Ho-Oh version liquor chocolate, Blaziken’s energy level had also risen to Level 71, and its IVs had seen significant improvement.
Now, the dish Kaede took out was the Sweet Dream Beverage he had made a few days ago.
Originally, after making it, he gave it to the Psychic-type Pokémon and Umbreon in the Breeding House, and the effects were good.
Now, thinking about it, its Effect 1 seemed very suitable for some of his Pokémon.
That was: *Wish Fulfillment* — After drinking, one can construct any desired scenario within a dream.
They can enter a dream, construct a scene, then create an opponent to battle within the dream could also count as honing combat skills.
However, correspondingly, a dream is just a dream; it wouldn’t increase physical strength.
But that’s not a big issue, as strength could be compensated for by eating.
Kaede said softly as he watch Blaziken drink the beverage, "Alright. When you sleep, you’ll enter a dream based on your thoughts. Inside the dream, you can construct scenes and opponents. Try it out yourself, and you’ll understand."
"Blaziken? Blaziken~"
Hearing this description, Blaziken’s eyes lit up.
Being able to create battlefields and opponents in dreams to fight against meant it could play however it wanted?
Blaziken left in a hurry, seeming eager to try falling asleep even though it was almost mealtime.
But often, the more you want to sleep, the harder it is to fall asleep.
After lying in bed for a while, Blaziken finally heard Kaede’s call for dinner and leaped down from upstairs as if flying.
After finishing the meal, it ran back upstairs, planning to sleep. Meanwhile, Kaede went out to buy chicks and some hens.
On the way back, seeing Alolan Ninetales and the three Eeveelutions loitering on the street, unsure what they were doing, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Heh.
Come to think of it, the Sweet Dream Beverage should be quite effective for them too.
If the dreams of the four little ones could connect, they could simulate Rayquaza’s imposing presence in the dream and battle against it.
This was somewhat similar to a previous Dream Spinach drink.
Unfortunately, that spinach’s dish effect only worked once, meaning the dream simulation only happened the first time they fell asleep after drinking it.
But this Sweet Dream Beverage was different. After drinking it, the ability would persist from then on.
All in all, it truly lived up to being a blend of Darkrai and Cresselia.
"Ninetales, Little Three, Little Nine!"
With this thought, Kaede called out to them.
The Pokémon had been idling by the farmland, watching a crucian carp swim by, wondering how to catch it.
Of course, the premise was not getting themselves dirty and not damaging the crops.
Otherwise, can a little crucian carp escape from their grasp?
Hearing Kaede’s call, they immediately turned and ran over.
It was also school time now, so most children in town were in school. Otherwise, Alolan Ninetales and the Eeveelutions wouldn’t be out at this hour.
The town’s kids were annoying.
They only knew how to chase after them, every one of them wanting to pet them.
"Umbreon?"
"Ninetales, Ninetales?" *(What is it, what is it?)*
"Leafeon~"
Little Nine ran up, and seeing Kaede squat down, it immediately wrapped its ribbon feeler around his arm. "Sylveon~?"
"There is something." Kaede nodded, gently untangling Little Nine’s feeler from his arm, then looked at Little Five. "Little Five, I gave you a bottle of that beverage before. Did you try dreaming about whatever you wanted?"
"Umbreon?"
Suddenly asked this, Little Five was clearly a bit confused. But seeing Kaede’s rare attention focused on it, it happily replied.
"Umbreon, Umbreon..." *(Mhm, mhm, I did, I did~! I had a really good dream! I dreamed about...)*
What followed was Little Five’s description of its dream.
Judging by how it described it, there were several, not just one.
The first was quite normal—dreaming about snuggling in his arms. When mentioning this, it seemed a bit bashful.
Kaede knew this was a trait both Little Five and Little Three shared—somewhat introverted. Sometimes they wanted him to hold them but didn’t dare ask.
This personality was why they both usually liked following Alolan Ninetales and Little Nine.
But the difference was, Little Five also had a bit of a closet exhibitionist streak.
It liked to act cool in secret. For example, when they were younger during that anime-watching period, it often watched Little Nine and Alolan Vulpix imitate the main characters’ actions, envy flickering in its eyes but too shy to join. Then it would secretly try the moves itself.
This habit had continued to this day.
It thought no one noticed, but in reality, there were quite a few Pokémon in the Breeding House with Aura abilities now.
Gardevoir, Serperior, Leafeon, himself, and some Alcremie...
After finishing the first dream, Little Five paused, as if remembering something, becoming shy and hesitant, not continuing.
Heh...
Seeing this expression, Kaede immediately knew Little Five must have dreamed about something else.
This kid must have dreamed about becoming a hero in a grand story. Probably the villain was Rayquaza destroying the town, and Alolan Ninetales, Little Nine, and Little Three couldn’t defeat it. Gardevoir stepped in but also lost. They even called upon Mewtwo and Mew, but still couldn’t win.
At that point, Kaede’s role in the dream was probably either at a loss or the kidnapped Trainer.
Feeling miserable...
Then, it—Little Five!
Flashed out from the darkness, used a Dark Pulse to knock Rayquaza senseless, and received the admiring gazes of all the Pokémon. Alolan Ninetales directly abdicated the boss position, and he picked it up to praise itself.
Ahem...
Seems like he was overthinking it a bit too.
Kaede mentally chuckled at his own internal drama, then looked at the Pokémon. He explained the effects of this dish and clarified that they could use it for training or to face Rayquaza directly.
