Chapter 1419 Secret Recipe: Bitter Seasoning

"Let's chase after them."

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the falling "meteor" and he spoke softly.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's voice, the Pokémon followed the trajectory of the "meteor" and searched for the figure of the Sky Master, the Progenitor Bird.

"boom!"

With a tremendous roar, the "meteor" crashed to the ground.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, making people's heads tingle and their ears ring.

Visible shockwaves spread across the land, and dust suddenly surged, sweeping in all directions like mud waves, instantly obscuring half the sky.

Daylight suddenly faded, and distant mountains and nearby trees were all hidden in a gray mist, their outlines indistinguishable.

The earth was boiling, the trees were burning, and the scene before them was like the end of the world. Countless Pokémon living on the ground were awakened by the roar and the flames and began to flee frantically.

The roar gradually subsided, but the dust and black smoke still lingered in the sky, and the air was filled with the scorching smell of sulfur, mixed with the lingering scorching aroma of soil after being baked by high temperatures.

The crash site had created a huge crater—the walls of the crater were scorched black and shiny, and billowing black smoke rose from between the walls. The surrounding weeds and rubble had long been burned to ashes by the flames, leaving only a ring of charred marks, from which countless hideous cracks spread in all directions, like wounds cut into the earth.

Inside the giant pit, the corpse of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, was burning fiercely in the flames.

Xia Yu and his Pokémon landed here, their gazes piercing through the hazy black smoke as they stared at the corpse of Archaeopteryx.

Who could have imagined that the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, would choose to end its life in such a way?

Xia Yu watched the corpse burn silently, without uttering a word.

"Huh?" Just then, Mega Latias suddenly let out a soft exclamation. It raised its dragon claw, pointed to a reddish-orange afterimage next to the corpse, and said, "There is a Pokémon next to the corpse of Archaeopteryx."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's gaze also turned to the orange-red figure, a battered Charmeleon struggling to climb out of the raging fire pit.

Charmeleon? It's still alive?

Xia Yu glanced at the Charmander. It only had the strength of an elite, but its aptitude was extremely outstanding, possessing the aptitude of a master.

There are so many Master-level Pokémon in this secret realm; I never expected to encounter a Master-level Charmeleon here.

"What a lucky guy, to actually survive." Xia Yu smiled, then took out a Poké Ball from his waist, preparing to capture it and take it back.

You can never have too many high-quality Charmeleons, whether for breeding or as gifts for friends and family.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu thought of his apprentice Wu Muyang, and this Charmeleon would be very suitable for it.

Wu Muyang's Charizard is slightly lacking in aptitude, but this Master-level Charizard is enough to help it establish itself in the Charizard Special Operations Team. As long as it develops step by step, it has a very good chance of becoming the captain of the Special Operations Team in the future.

Just as Xia Yu was pondering, the Charmander struggled to its feet, panting heavily. Its body was covered in blood, clearly indicating that it had been seriously injured by the previous "meteor" impact.

Blood streamed down its cheeks as its gaze fell upon the raging corpse of the Primordial Bird of the Sky, and it slowly walked toward the corpse's head.

Amidst the blazing flames, within the skull of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, several dark green plants could be faintly seen radiating a soft glow.

Secret recipe: Bitter seasoning!

These secrets: the bittering agent is actually rooted inside the skull of Archaeopteryx. No wonder... Archaeopteryx said that if you want the secret: the bittering agent, you can only kill it.

So that's what it meant.

Charmeleon seemed to be drawn to the secret: bitter seasoning. It stepped into the flames and reached out to grab the secret: bitter seasoning.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Xia Yu frowned slightly, then turned to Greninja and raised his hand.

After understanding Xia Yu's intention, Greninja's figure instantly disappeared from its original spot and arrived in front of the corpse in the blink of an eye. An invisible energy pulled Charmeleon, bringing it to its side, and at the same time, it also picked the secret: Bitter Seasoning.

【Secret Recipe: Bitter Seasoning】(S-Rank Item): One of the secret seasonings, guarded by the Lord of the Sky, it is a mysterious material containing flight-type energy, possessing powerful effects, but also powerful side effects.

Effect 1: Flying-type Pokémon will have their potential greatly increased after consuming this (a Master-level Flying-type Pokémon will break through to pseudo-legendary level potential). However, their potential will never be able to increase again after consumption, and they will need to continue consuming the Hidden Secret: Bitter Seasoning periodically. If they do not continue consuming Hidden Secret: Bitter Seasoning, their potential and strength will decline. (Only pseudo-legendary level Pokémon can breed new Hidden Secret Seasonings.)

Effect 2: Consumed by Guleton or Milton, their aptitude will be elevated to the quasi-god level without any side effects. Consuming five secret seasonings will elevate Guleton or Milton's aptitude to the god level.

…………

Xia Yu looked at the secret recipe for bitter seasoning in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This item has a similar effect to the one in the game, the Secret: Seasoning, which is also a key item for improving Milton.

Each time you defeat a starter Pokémon, you will obtain a Secret: Seasoning. Feeding Milton a sandwich made with Secret Seasoning will unlock the corresponding ability.

Unexpectedly, in the real world, the secret recipe: seasoning is actually the key item for improving the aptitude of Guleton (Millerton). Just one secret recipe: seasoning, has the potential to raise Guleton (Millerton)'s aptitude to the quasi-god level.

Thinking about it another way, does this mean that there are many master-level Miltons in this secret realm?

As Xia Yu thought of this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. If that were really the case, then the value of this secret realm would be far greater than Xia Yu had anticipated!

We must find a way to get our hands on all the secret recipes: seasonings... Wait, what about the Rock Wall Master!

Xia Yu suddenly remembered the Rock Cliff Treasure Master, the Hairy Crab. He had to find a way to get his hands on the secret of the Rock Cliff Treasure Master: the sweetener.

I just don't know if it's too late to go now, the battle over there probably isn't over yet!

The system also mentioned that the Secret of Bitterness requires a pseudo-legendary Pokémon to breed, which means that only Sky Masters can breed Secret of Bitterness.

If I want a continuous supply of the secret recipe: bitter ingredients, then I must let the Soundwave Dragon stay here and become the new Lord of the Sky.

Thinking about this, Xia Yu hesitated.
