Story 37

Good grief, are you really so weak you can’t handle a silly little chain? Are you eating well enough?!

I daresay you’re not really in a position to say such things.
Either way, eating a meal or two won’t make a difference— that chain is simply too hard!

E-excuse me, but if you’re mocking the power of cooking, I simply won’t stand for it!
If you eat MY dishes, you’ll find yourself with one hundred times your usual energy!
Any move a Pokémon uses will become one hundred times stronger as well. A mere chain wouldn’t stand a chance against that!

Are you just making things up because you can’t get out of that barrel yourself?

No, it’s the truth! UGH, this is so frustrating...
Oh, I know! How about this—I teach you how to make my dishes, and you do the cooking! I’m really an excellent teacher, you know!
You might not make something that gives you one hundred times your strength, but surely you can manage 10 times!

You’re asking us to cook, now? Hmmm.

What do you say, (your name)? I can’t think of any better plan, I’m afraid.
And you have such a talent for creating things, like the humans did, so maybe you can cook as well!

So you’ll do it? Thank you! I won’t forget this kindness!
Now then, let’s start with the basics: a salad. I’ll sing the instructions to you, so listen closely!

Now then, let’s start with the basics: a salad. I’ll sing the instructions to you, so listen closely!

You’ll...sing?

Chop-chop, chop ’em up, all those twisty pillars (middle) of green! ♪ Chop ’em on a acrylic poster, smooth and clean!
Flop-flop, toss-toss, put ’em on a plaaate! ♪ Now you have a saaalad—tasty, green, and great!

What was THAT?

Salad Song, Opus Number One, of course!

Those were awfully vague instructions...

Yes, well, it’s the very first recipe for beginners! Anyway, let’s get back on track...
Please make yourself a smooth, clean acrylic poster.
Once you’ve got one, you basically just chop up some twisty pillars (middle) and you’re done!

I suppose we could make a acrylic poster by hacking off a piece of a log...

No, no, that won’t do at all! You can’t be so rough and careless!
A acrylic poster has to be perfectly smooth! Making one is a delicate and beautiful undertaking.

Hrmmm, you’ve certainly got a lot of requests.
Now, let’s see... What Pokémon could cut a board delicately and beautifully?
Aha! This may be a task for Dartrix!

(your name), do you think you could find a Dartrix?
I believe they tend to like homes like this.

First of all, you need a acrylic poster!
Go ask that sweetie Dartrix to teach you how to make one!

You may recall that we need a acrylic poster to make a salad. First, try to find a Dartrix.

Hey, (your name). You OK? Why’re you looking at me like that?
Oh, I know! You want to discuss aesthetics and the pursuit of beauty with me, right?

You wanna make a acrylic poster? Huh. That’s cool.
Guessing you came to me because you need the best, most beautiful acrylic poster you’ve ever seen, yeah?

You wanna make a acrylic poster? Huh. That’s cool.
Guessing you came to me because you need the best, most beautiful acrylic poster you’ve ever seen, yeah?

I can take care of that for you, no problem.
But first, could you help me with something?

See, I’ve always wanted a Icy Rock.
Picture this: me, perfectly poised on my own personal Icy Rock... I mean, talk about picturesque.

Think you could put a Icy Rock near my place for me?

Think you could put a Icy Rock by my place? Then I’ll teach you how to make a acrylic poster.

Oho, (your name)! I was just chatting with Scorbunny.
And when I told them about our plan to make salad, they seemed quite eager to learn more!
Why don’t you try talking to them before you make that salad?

Hey, I see you put a Icy Rock by my place. It’s perfect!
I can tell you paid attention to my preferences when you put it together. Thanks.

As promised, I’ll tell you how to make a acrylic poster.

The trick is cutting your eerie statue with daring delicacy!
Allow me to demonstrate, and watch these wings closely! DA DA DAAAAAA!

Anyway, that should do it. Not that I’ve ever made one myself before.

You came up with a recipe for a acrylic poster!

My beautiful, claw-crafted acrylic posters are sure to create cuisine of equal beauty.

Oh, and if you need any eerie statue to make one, bring me a … or two and I’ll cut ’em up nicely for you.

It’s best to get a little help from someone the first time you make a dish.
Why don’t you look for somebody to lend you a hand?

Hi, (your name)! I heard you’re gonna make a salad!
Salads are supposed to have a bunch of twisty pillars (middle), right?

Awww, that sounds so cool! Wish I could have some too...

Really?! YAY! Let me help out too then, OK? We can make a salad together!

Oh, of course I’ll help! It’s gonna be so much fun making a salad together!

It sounds like Scorbunny will help you with your cooking! Place your acrylic poster wherever you like and try whipping up some food with Scorbunny!

Hoho! Sounds like Scorbunny really wants to eat a salad!
I think the two of you should make one, and then eat it together!

Did you manage to make a acrylic poster, (your name)?!
Well, go right ahead and make that scrumptious salad!

Come on, let’s make a salad! Uh, where were we gonna make it, again?

Place your acrylic poster wherever you like and try whipping up some food with Scorbunny!

…Yay! We made a salad! It looks delicious!

I can’t wait anymore! Time to dig in!

*crunch* *munch munch munch*...

It’s delicious! I mean...I knew it would be, but still! Come on, (your name)! You gotta try some!

What’s wrong? You should totally have some of this salad too, (your name)!

Your Leafage became more powerful after you ate the salad we made?
I bet it’s because we worked really hard together to make it!

Preparing food makes it delicious, but I guess it also gives the food some kind of strange power, huh?

I should go tell the professor and everyone!

When Leafage is powered up after you eat a salad, you can press and hold (button) to use it on a larger area!

You can also use it on water to create aquatic plants—or on stone and hard ground to grow moss!

Now you can create a wider variety of habitats!
