Axel methodically took out materials from his backpack.
Luxio's mane, Altaria's shed clouds, Alcremie's cream... Almost all of his reserved fairy-type ingredients were pulled out one after another.
Then came high-quality flour, and general-purpose resources like the olive oil secreted from Arboliva.
Seeing Axel looking like he was about to show his full skill, the surrounding Pokémon all curiously gathered around.
The Gallade leader and the Granbull leader each summoned a trusted descendant to fetch the Fairy Plate stored in one of the great halls.
"You guys don't just stand around," Axel said cheerfully to the Pokémon crowding nearby, planning to have them collect more materials.
"The energy up here is way richer than down below, so the trees and plants that grow here are better, too."
"Gather some of those and bring them back, the food's effects will be way better when it's done."
Hearing Axel's words, the Pokémon all scattered, heading off to their usual foraging spots.
Before long, a small mountain of fairy-energy-laden plants had piled up beside Axel.
Among them were also items that could make Pokémon more beautiful, like Indigo Berries and other such things.
Axel's mouth twitched. Not because there was too much, but because it would make things harder. He wasn't entirely confident about this yet.
"These ones won't do. Normally, adding too many things just makes it harder. More isn't always better..."
"We'll only use fairy-type and psychic-type ingredients. Add too much and it'll fail instead."
Axel picked out the unnecessary materials and asked the little Ho-Oh that had flown back to help knead and proof the dough.
The Pokémon watching nearby were absolutely entranced.
'Ho-Oh starting a fire to cook food?'
'Unbelievable!'
At that moment, every Pokémon present looked at Axel like he was a true master through and through.
Very soon, an oval-shaped food base took form, filling the entire temple square with a rich aroma.
Gardevoir, Granbull, and the others all drooled at the corners of their mouths, licking their lips again and again.
"Glastrier!"
Axel unleashed his psychic power completely, transmitting his thoughts into Glastrier's mind.
Glastrier neighed loudly, its eyes flashing with ice crystals, the "Lifelike as Ice" trait instantly activated to the max.
Intense ice energy swept over the food embryo, sculpting it into the rough shape of a knight.
"'Lifelike as Ice,' combined with the environment here, can barely form an 'Eternal Frost' force… but it's still missing something..."
Axel muttered under his breath, then simultaneously released Archaludon and Gholdengo.
"Inject your steel-type power into it, make this sculpture more solid."
"Huh?"
All the Pokémon around him were dumbfounded.
Adding steel-type energy to food, was this really meant for fairy-types to eat?
It wasn't something made for Gible or Larvitar, was it?
Looking at the bewildered Pokémon with question marks over their heads, Axel grinned.
Can't understand it?
Perfect.
"Gardevoir!", Axel's psychic power wrapped around the food embryo as he called her name.
Their minds linked instantly, Gardevoir immediately understood what Axel was thinking. A wave of pink energy appeared in her hands, merging with Glastrier's form.
The next moment, an incredibly beautiful Fairy Queen form manifested behind Axel.
Without hesitation, Axel vaulted up behind her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. He poured his will entirely into Gardevoir's psychic energy.
After so many times of working together, they were already perfectly in sync, their energies blending seamlessly.
Axel instantly felt himself merge with the Fairy Queen. Like the psychic resonance he once shared when fusing with Pheromosa.
The next second, his Breeder Master tag activated through the Fairy Queen's body.
A huge pink phantom appeared, like a magnified, colossal version of the Fairy Queen herself.
Endless fairy butterflies emerged, surrounding the phantom as it slowly approached the food embryo.
Just as the phantom was about to merge with it, Axel released Pheromosa.
No words were needed. Pheromosa's slender form appeared above the cake-like embryo, her hand-knife gleaming with fighting-type energy, transforming into a blade.
Following Axel's will, and guided by the Fairy Queen's image, she began slicing into the ice-sculpted base that Glastrier had created.
Ice shards, sugar chunks, and cream spun into the air, soon transforming the embryo into a lifelike statue of the Fairy Queen herself.
At that moment, the Fairy Queen's phantom fused completely with the edible sculpture.
The food seemed to awaken, radiating a mysterious sense of divinity.
A faint pink energy shimmered around the sculpture, linking with the surrounding natural forces, continuously channeling fairy energy into the statue's body.
The Granbull leader sniffed hard at the aroma, swallowing with difficulty, his voice trembling.
["T-this… who could even bear to eat it?"]
That one line captured the thoughts of every Pokémon present, whether from Gallade's tribe or Granbull's, all of them nodded frantically in agreement.
"Who said it's done yet?"
Axel grinned again and took another Poké Ball from his belt.
After so many days, he really felt like he was turning into some kind of wealthy lady's ornament.
Finally, he was doing a grand task by his own power, how could he not use every Pokémon's strength to the fullest?
Among Axel's team, there was still one Pokémon, not fairy-type, but blessed by fairy power itself.
A Pokémon granted the sacred energy of Mt. Moon, a force no less than divine.
Her body carried the very essence of fairy-kind's affection.
Her species could even alter the weather, and she was the final, indispensable piece in the creation of this dish.
"Dragonair, it's your turn now!"
