Chapter 116:
[Mythical Mew Energy Cube]: An Energy Cube crafted using Mew's genetic material, blended with assorted Berries and Moomoo Milk. Possesses extraordinary effects.
Effect 1: Upon first consumption, randomly increases one of the Pokémon's IVs by 3. This effect triggers only once.
Effect 2: After consumption, the Pokémon may unleash a single Psychic Terrain-influenced move, randomly selecting one from Mew's vast movepool. This move cannot be stacked. There is also a chance to permanently learn the move, with the highest probability on the first consumption.
Effect 3: Regular consumption significantly accelerates move mastery and proficiency growth.
Effect 4: Mew's Blessing – Permanently boosts the power of Psychic-type moves by 30%. This effect triggers only once.
Effect 5: World Tree's Blessing – After consumption, Grass-type Pokémon gain a permanent 30% increase in move power and a 30% boost to luck. This effect triggers only once.
"Incredible…"
Hayashi Kaede could only murmur in awe as he read the effects.
Randomly unleashing a move from Mew's repertoire? And even a chance to learn it?
That opens up endless possibilities!
Maybe even some Legendary-exclusive moves could be replicated!
"What a pity the probability is so low…" He shook his head slightly.
So many vegetables in the plantation had failed to mutate—the odds were clearly abysmal.
Still, this Energy Cube had countless uses.
A random +3 IV boost alone was immensely valuable, not to mention Mew's Blessing and the World Tree's Blessing.
A 30% luck increase for Grass-types…
Wouldn't that make Serperior's mutation experiments more likely to succeed?
Fortunately, he'd added enough Berries this time, producing over forty Cubes.
Enough for every Pokémon to try.
"Speaking of which… If Mew's eyelash can be used as an ingredient, then… can Lugia's or Ho-Oh's feathers be used too?"
Putting away the Cubes, Hayashi Kaede took out a shimmering silver feather from his storage ball—Lugia's Silver Feather.
Though called a feather, it felt more like a strand of hair, glowing faintly and radiating strong Psychic- and Flying-type energy.
After a moment's thought, he put it away again.
No rush to make more Energy Cubes. Let the Pokémon absorb Mew's Cube first.
"Time to sleep. Let everyone try it tomorrow."
Yawning, he stored the Cubes and went to bed.

Unbeknownst to him, not long after he fell asleep, a small figure quietly slipped into the kitchen.
In the pitch darkness, it wandered around curiously, sniffing here and there, before finally stopping at the Berry Blender Hayashi Kaede had just used.
It was puzzled.
Why did it sense… its own aura here?
And… it seemed… shattered?
That shouldn't be possible.
Mew tilted its head in confusion.
As far as it knew, most Legendary Pokémon would occasionally shed items from their bodies—each with their own purpose.
Take Ho-Oh, for example. Throughout its long life, it sought trainers with pure hearts, sometimes appearing before them and gifting a Rainbow Feather.
Or Lugia, who left traces of its energy in certain cities, bringing prosperity—or occasionally dropping feathers to form bonds, allowing humans who possessed them to borrow its power.
Honestly, most Legendaries had their own territories and duties to maintain.
Their movements often caused too much commotion, so they couldn't move around freely.
What was the point of living so long… if you couldn't even roam as you pleased?
In Mew's eyes, they were all rather pitiful.
None could live as freely as it did.
As long as the World Tree was safe, it could go anywhere, explore everything…
"Mew~?"

September 3rd
Early in the morning, Hayashi Kaede gathered all his Pokémon and placed an Energy Cube before each of them. Even the Pidgeotto and pidgey perched in the trees and the grazing Alcremie were included—though theirs were chopped into smaller pieces to avoid overfeeding.
Only Gardevoir received a few extra Cubes.
It was plenty strong, and as a Psychic-type, it could handle more.
The remaining Cubes were saved for Serperior.
"Pidgeotto?" One of the Pidgeotto looked at the Cube in front of it with a complicated expression, then glanced at the other Pokémon happily eating theirs, feeling a little melancholic.
*When did I lose a feather here?*
*How did I not notice?*
It had no idea how many feathers it had shed over the years, but it rarely came to this area…
Could it have lost one recently?
"Serperior ?""Gardevoir ?"
Serperior and Gardevoir were the first to sense the changes within their bodies.
Gardevoir, in particular, felt the 30% boost to Psychic-type moves most keenly—its Psychic power had clearly strengthened, and not just marginally, but significantly.
What kind of food was this?
Noticing its surprised look, Hayashi Kaede blinked and explained, "It's the effect of the Energy Cube~"
"Gardevoir …" Gardevoir nodded. The Cube had reminded it once again that its Trainer was special.
After a brief moment of shock, it quickly returned to its usual calm demeanor.
Still, this kind of food reminded it of a former Breeder who was also a Trainer.
That human seemed to have a special ability—a fusion of emotional nurturing and practical care—that could rapidly strengthen the Pokémon around him and push their limits.
He had wanted to solve his own problems too…
But in the end, he hadn't succeeded.
Now, it seemed its current Trainer was even more remarkable…
"Alcremie?"
Suddenly, one of the Alcremie called out.
Then, its body began to glow with a faint cyan light—and a stream of cyan flames burst from its mouth, shooting straight into the sky.
The flames stunned all the surrounding Alcremie.
And they weren't the only ones stunned.
Hayashi Kaede was stunned too.
Everyone was stunned.
Luckily, Gardevoir reacted quickly—it Teleported into the air and enveloped the flames with a powerful Psychic barrier, preventing them from raining down.
But even Gardevoir, floating mid-air, was wide-eyed in disbelief.
This cyan flame…
Was released by a Alcremie?
