Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 157 Honey Milk Pineapple Ice Cream

Li Shuwen didn't know much about the ancient history of the Sinnoh region.

However, he was certain that, based on information revealed in the theatrical version and the Arceus Gaiden game, the ancient civilization in the Sinnoh region must have been destroyed more than once.

The Sinnoh people today are mostly humans who came from other regions.

On the contrary, the real Sinnoh people have most likely migrated to other regions.

Based on the image of Arceus in the game, the ancestors of the two villains in the Hoenn region, Scarlet Mist and Archie, were most likely ancient Sinnoh people.

There's also the Unova Champion, Alder, whose ancestors were also ancient Sinnoh people.

Moreover, these three people belong to the same team.

It can only be said that the Pokémon world also highlights its family tradition.

A strong foundation is very important.

"Professor Ichigo, it's likely that the ancient Sinnoh people's large-scale capture of Pokémon provoked some powerful ancient legendary Pokémon."

"Legend has it that the Pokémon's power was so great, or its abilities were so powerful, that it caused the destruction of the ancient Sinnoh city and the scattering of its people."

"They might even cross the sea and leave the Sinnoh region to live in other safer areas."

Ancient people were selected by harsh environments, resulting in a much stronger physique than modern people.

If you can't live in this area, just move to another one.

This was considered a very normal thing by people in ancient times.

Even among modern people, there are still extraordinary figures like Xi Ziyi.

The Gym Leader of the Unova region, a legendary figure who traveled from the Unova region to the Sinnoh region, and even the Hoenn region, by swimming.

Is this the common way that normal humans would choose?

Dr. Jie Zilan nodded in agreement with Li Shuwen's deduction, "Indeed, Shuwen, you have great potential to become a history researcher. How about you work at the Institute of History?"

"In fact, historical research institutes often find unique secrets of ancient people raising Pokémon in ancient ruins."

"It will definitely be of great help to your attempt to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Dr. Mustard said this, and Li Shuwen was actually somewhat tempted.

Cynthia interrupted, saying, "The methods found in ancient ruins either require the use of superpowers or the use of extinct materials."

"It would be better to use modern tools and materials to research ways to make Pokémon stronger than to spend time researching modern alternatives."

From a young age, Cynthia studied the ancient texts deciphered by Dr. Mustard.

It's essentially an ancient secret technique, now mastered by modern experts.

Dr. Mustard glared at Cynthia and said irritably, "Perfect, aren't you the best at modernization? Let's wait until we unearth some books suitable for Pokémon with written texts."

"I'll leave it to you. You can translate for Shuwen for free. If you feel bad about it, Shuwen, you can treat Cynthia to two boxes of ice cream."

"My granddaughter's favorite thing is all kinds of ice cream."

Cynthia raised her head. "I do like ice cream, but ordinary ice cream won't do for me. It has to be delicious and original!"

Is it original?

Dr. Mustard rolled her eyes. She wouldn't say who had been eating chocolate ice cream for twenty-three days straight.

When Cynthia mentioned a new ice cream, Li Shuwen immediately thought of flower ice cream.

But he just invited Baicai to eat flower ice cream, and then he made it for Cynthia.

That's not good.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "I've come up with a pretty good ice cream recipe. I wonder if Cynthia would like to try it?"

Cynthia asked excitedly, "What is it?"

"Honey cream-based baked pineapple ice cream!"

Cynthia's expression was a little strange. "What kind of dark ice cream is this?"

"Grilled pineapple..."

When Li Shuwen came to the Institute of History, he specially brought honey produced by the flower nursery.

Because the flowerbed has a wide variety of flowers, the honey is full of rich floral fragrance.

Because the two small beehives collect nectar from different flowers.

Two different types of honey were produced.

After training the three bees, the farm owner forcibly stuffed two large buckets of honey into Li Shuwen's trunk.

The farm owner also emphasized that if Li Shuwen really felt bad about it, he could help promote the honey when it officially hits the market.

Honey cream baked pineapple ice cream – Li Shuwen only came up with this idea.

Actually, using honey from the flower garden to make two kinds of ice cream for Cynthia would be enough to satisfy her novelty needs.

Cynthia finally nodded. "Honey cream-flavored roasted pineapple ice cream sounds a bit strange, but I'd like to give it a try!"

People who love ice cream are willing to try all sorts of strange and unusual flavors.

"The research institute has a kitchen, and I remember there's fresh pineapple in the fridge. Shall we try your ice cream recipe?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay."

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Li Shuwen first used the honey he had brought to make two simple honey milk ice creams.

I scooped out a box for Cynthia as well, and then put it in the refrigerator.

Once the researchers are done with their work, they can come over and try his cooking.

Then Li Shuwen started roasting pineapples.

Cynthia took a bite and happily squinted her eyes.

"These two ice creams have completely different honey and floral flavors, so delicious!"

Li Shuwen turned his head and watched Cynthia lick the ice cream and smile as she enjoyed it.

It looks very familiar...

Why do Cynthia's movements and expressions look so much like a cabbage?

Is this the unspoken understanding between best friends?

Add butter and brown sugar to the pineapple, bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes until caramelized, then let it cool and mash it, leaving some of the texture intact.

Add flavor.

Mix roasted pineapple chunks, honey milk, and heavy cream to make ice cream.

Because Li Shuwen wasn't sure what the final taste of this ice cream would be.

He didn't do much.

After finishing, Li Shuwen first dug out a box for himself.

You know what, it tastes surprisingly good.

The caramelized tang of roasted pineapple chunks, the rich floral aroma of honey, and the fragrance of Moo Moo milk blend together perfectly.

Judging from Li Shuwen's expression, after finishing the two small boxes of ice cream in her hand, Cynthia personally scooped out a box of honey milk baked pineapple ice cream for herself!

You mustn't tell, you really mustn't tell!

Cynthia squinted her eyes happily, "I suddenly thought of something that might help you train Pokémon!"

Shirona ran to her office, took out a document, and handed it to Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen thought it was some information about Pokémon, but it turned out to be an ancient recipe.

Li Shuwen blinked. "Cynthia, why are you giving me this?"

Cynthia said mysteriously, "You'll find out after you watch it."

The most important matters of state are sacrifice and war.

Should this sentence appear in a recipe?

Sacrifices, a very important part of which seems to involve food.

The recipe provided by Cynthia contains twelve dishes.

Many materials need to be obtained from Pokémon.

However, Cynthia provided modern alternative materials for all of them.

"Because I'm not a professional chef, I'm just making substitutions based on the properties of the ingredients, so you'll need to experiment a bit."

"I've prepared all the materials. I was planning to try it myself, but since you're here, I'll leave the task to you."

Li Shuwen nodded. "No problem."

Whether it's for sacrifice or for war, it's quite fitting to apply it to Pokémon.

Eating and battling are usually the primary ways for Pokémon to become stronger.

These twelve recipes enhance various abilities of Pokémon and humans, and are well worth trying.
