A freshly baked 18-inch seafood pizza. Melted cheese wraps around springy shrimp, mixed with the aroma of black pepper—every bite tastes like the Mediterranean.
Cooking Effect:

A very delicious dish.
It was especially suitable for Psychic-type Pokémon.
When Hayato Sora placed the dish on the table, Gardevoir immediately looked over, deeply attracted by the unique aroma.
It struggled to maintain its elegant demeanor.
Its throat kept moving as it swallowed repeatedly.
Noticing Gardevoir's reaction, Hayato Sora smiled lightly.
"All the dishes are ready. Let's eat."
A group of Pokémon surrounded the table.
Once Hayato Sora spoke, they began eating.
The 18-inch pizza was quite large.
Hayato Sora first gave a slice to Korrina and Gardevoir.
Then one each to Kangaskhan and Cyclizar.
The three Noibat shared one slice together.
Mudbray and Smoliv didn't eat meat.
Hayato Sora took a slice for himself and shared one-third of it with Cinccino.
Cinccino was small and couldn't eat much.
Taking a bite of seafood pizza followed by a sip of chilled honey grapefruit drink, Hayato Sora felt completely satisfied.
After tasting a small bite, Korrina was utterly convinced by Hayato Sora's cooking.
Golden cheese stretched into thin silky strands, glistening under the sunlight.
Each bite of crust wrapped around seafood was pure enjoyment.
Every bite brought a different surprise.
"This is amazing. If I could eat this every day, that would be perfect!"
Beside her, Gardevoir's reaction was even more dramatic.
After chewing only a few times, its face flushed slightly.
Psychic energy surged throughout its body.
The energy overflowed to the point that its body trembled.
Its eyes glowed with psychic power as its body suddenly teleported to an open space nearby.
Placing its hands together in front of its chest, Gardevoir concentrated.
Powerful telekinetic force materialized.
The air around it distorted, making its figure appear blurred.
Moments later—
Compressed psychic energy spheres shot toward the clouds in the sky one after another.
Gardevoir was releasing the excess energy inside its body.
Among Trainers, this phenomenon had a specific term:
Energy Overflow.
If mishandled, it could cause a Pokémon to fall into a berserk state.
This situation often occurred when Pokémon like Magikarp or Shelgon evolved.
One was too weak to control its own power.
The other was too powerful to restrain itself.
Gardevoir clearly didn't fall into either category.
After venting the sudden surge of psychic power, its condition quickly stabilized.
When it looked back at the Seafood Pizza, its gaze was filled with both shock and delight.
Meanwhile, the other Pokémon like Kangaskhan showed no unusual reaction after eating it.
After lunch, Korrina received a call from her manager.
After exchanging a few words, she decisively hung up.
Hayato Sora handed her another glass of grapefruit drink.
"Are they urging you to go back? Is being an actor really that busy?"
"Yes," Korrina sighed. "I finally got half a day off and I still haven't rested enough."
She shook her head.
Today, she refused to think about work.
Picking up Cinccino from Hayato Sora's arms, Korrina waved her hand and led the Pokémon toward the beach.
"The beach?"
"Korrina's swimsuit?!"
Hayato Sora's eyes lit up.
He quickly rinsed the dishes clean.
Then he jumped onto Cyclizar and chased after them.
On the golden beach, decorated with small shells and starfish, Korrina and the Pokémon were building sandcastles.
Seeing this scene, Hayato Sora instantly lost interest.
Seriously?
What was the point of coming to the beach if you weren't wearing a swimsuit?
Building sandcastles wasn't even interesting to watch!
He turned to leave.
But in the distance, Korrina waved at him.
Ten minutes later—
Hayato Sora glanced at the Pokémon around him.
"Can I move now?"
He tried to get up.
But his body was buried under sand, which slid down from the pile covering his stomach.
"Chii!"
"Smoliv~"
The two little Pokémon ran over and pushed him back down.
They weren't finished yet.
They still wanted to build a castle on top of Hayato Sora.
"Fine… I'll just take a nap then."
The Grass Dumplings were already prepared.
There was nothing else to do this afternoon.
Playing with Cinccino and the others wasn't a bad way to pass the time.
Soon, not only Cinccino and Smoliv—
Kangaskhan also joined the sand-building team.
When invited to play with sand, Cyclizar proudly flicked its tail.
It was a mature Pokémon.
Of course it wouldn't play with sand.
…Five minutes later.
Hehehe.
Sand is actually pretty fun.
Korrina watched the scene with a smile and joined them as well.
Unable to move, Hayato Sora slowly became drowsy.
Before long, faint snoring could be heard from him.
Cinccino and the others instinctively moved more quietly.
When Hayato Sora woke up again—
A circle of Pokémon surrounded him.
They were all lying down with their eyes closed, enjoying the warm sunshine.
Not far away, Korrina was sitting on a lounge chair, gazing at the blue sea and sky, looking more relaxed than ever.
When she saw Hayato Sora wake up, she waved to him.
Relaxing days always passed quickly.
Korrina's assistant had called more than ten times throughout the afternoon, constantly asking when she would return.
They needed to leave Santalune City overnight and head to another city to discuss movie promotion plans.
Beside Route 12, Hayato Sora watched as Korrina got into a car.
The two waved goodbye.
They were no longer the carefree teenagers they once were.
Now they each had their own goals and dreams to pursue.
Their footsteps couldn't stop.
In the end, Korrina still didn't stay for dinner.
And she never wore that swimsuit.
"Chii?"
Cinccino looked up at Hayato Sora, asking if Sister Korrina and Sister Gardevoir would come back to the ranch again.
"You became good friends after meeting only once?"
Hayato Sora patted Cinccino's head.
He rode Cyclizar to the Miltank Ranch collection box and retrieved the money from today's farm product sales.
Just a little over one thousand PokéDollars.
Cinccino nodded enthusiastically in his arms.
Hayato Sora looked at the movie tickets in his hand.
Korrina had given them to him before leaving.
"How about this—one week from now, I'll take you to watch the movie she starred in."
Cinccino tilted its head.
"Chii?"
What was a movie?
The little Pokémon had never even seen a television, let alone a movie.
Hayato Sora thought for a moment before explaining.
"A movie… is something that lets lots and lots of people—and Pokémon—see you. And you can gain many fans."
"Chii!!"
Cinccino was amazed.
So they were big stars.
That was incredible.
After returning to the ranch, Hayato Sora took the Pokémon to the lake to wash off the sand from their bodies.
Everyone cleaned up nicely.
Dinner was simple:
Udon noodles, one big bowl each.
Hayato Sora also brought food to the Noibat, reminding them to stay alert during their nighttime watch.
If anything happened, they should notify him immediately.
After dinner, Hayato Sora recorded the day's earnings in his ledger.
Then he fell asleep holding Cinccino.
Later that night—
After everyone was asleep—
Cyclizar quietly sneaked out again to meet up with the Noibat.
None of them noticed that a Chatot flew overhead and landed on the roof.
"These past few days have exhausted Lord Chatot."
"Finally… I can rest for a few days."
