At 7:00 AM, 10,000 meters above sea level, a massive airliner belonging to the Pokémon League/Alliance Airline Company had just departed from the Hoenn region's Slateport City airport, en route to the Kanto continent.

Thanks to a first-class ticket, Sato was among the first passengers to board the plane.

He now sat in a spacious, luxuriously decorated private room, quietly enjoying a luxurious breakfast with his Pokémon.

The first-class ticket, priced at a staggering 600,000 PokeDollars, was undoubtedly expensive. However, the treatment offered more than justified the cost.

Compared to the cramped economy class, where there was barely enough space for one person, first class felt like a world of luxury.

First-class passengers enjoyed exclusive access to private rooms of over 50 square meters, lavishly decorated and furnished with all kinds of high-end amenities.

If he wanted, Sato could lie comfortably on the bed and sleep through the flight to Saffron City.

Most importantly, all food and beverages on the plane were free and offered in unlimited quantities. This was a feature Sato particularly appreciated, as he saw it as an opportunity to "eat back" the value of his first-class ticket.

The quality of service, including the meals provided in first class, was top-notch.

In fact, the airline was accustomed to passengers attempting to "recover" their ticket costs by indulging in the luxurious food options.

Of course, the airline had measures to prevent passengers from bringing Pokémon with extraordinary appetites—such as Snorlax—onto the plane, citing "overweight and safety risks" as a perfectly reasonable regulation.

Nevertheless, for the first time today, the three stewardesses serving the flight encountered a passenger capable of nearly matching Snorlax's legendary appetite.

This was already their sixth trip delivering a trolley full of an assortment of grilled meat to Room 6 in the first-class cabin.

As they struggled to push the trolley into the room, they saw the handsome trainer sitting there, having just finished his sumptuous breakfast.

He was now gently wiping a Pokémon egg with a warm towel, while his Pokémon lounged comfortably on the sofa, resting after their meal.

A golden ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room in a serene and picturesque glow.

The scene would have been perfect—if not for the bulking blue figure sitting amidst a pile of bones in front of the trainer.

"Is that Swampert a monster? How can it eat so much? Its appetite rivals a Snorlax's!"

The three stewardesses couldn't help but think the same thing as they glanced at the now-empty trolley beside the Swampert.

After witnessing it devour an entire trolley of grilled meat in mere minutes for the third time, they had grown somewhat numb to the sight.

"Swamp!"

Swampert let out a dissatisfied grunt, clearly annoyed at how long it took the stewardesses to deliver its food.

Without hesitation, it strode over, effortlessly grabbed the trolley from their hands, and waved them off as if to say, "Go away and stop bothering me while I eat."

"My apologies for Swampert's rudeness. That trolley must have been heavy—thank you for your hard work. Here, this is a tip for each of you. Oh, and please bring three bottles of honey fruit juice next time. My Beautifly loves that drink."

Sato smiled gently as he took out three 1,000 PokeDollar bills, handing them to the slightly startled stewardesses.

Still, the allure of money worked wonders.

Upon hearing Sato's words, the stewardesses' eyes lit up, immediately drawn to the "cute little bills" in his hand.

Though stewardesses working for the Pokémon Alliance Airline Company earned modest salaries, their job often provided opportunities for extra perks, such as acting as personal shoppers for wealthy clients.

Naturally, being assigned to serve first-class passengers was a highly coveted role. The generous tips from elite customers made the effort worthwhile.

The stewardesses eagerly accepted the tips without a hint of embarrassment, thanking Sato profusely before leaving the room.

Shortly after, one of them returned with three bottles of honey fruit juice.

Seeing the juice, Sato's shiny Beautifly excitedly flitted off the sofa. Using its long proboscis, it deftly retrieved a bottle from the stewardess's hands.

Without waiting for assistance, Beautifly pierced the steel cap with its proboscis and began happily sipping the honeyed beverage.

Unlike Sato's other Pokémon, which could consume solid food, Beautifly could only consume liquid nutrition, with nectar being its favorite.

However, Sato had discovered that honey, especially the premium variety produced by Combee in the Sinnoh region, offered even greater nutritional value.

Sato had invested heavily in purchasing this top-grade honey as a substitute, and Beautifly quickly grew to love it.

Recently, Sato found that mixing honey with fruit juice made for an even better treat, as this drink greatly improved Beautifly's appetite.

Unfortunately, the beverage's packaging didn't disclose its exact recipe, listing only the nutritional content of the honey and fruit juices used.

Recreating it was a challenge, but the drink inspired Sato to experiment with crafting specialized PokeBlocks tailored for Beautifly.

Sato's previous attempts in Viridian City to mix Beedrill honey with berries had yielded unique PokeBlocks.

This experience encouraged him to further refine his recipes to create a blend that would perfectly suit Beautifly's dietary needs.

In Pokémon training, proper nutrition was a critical aspect of Pokémon care. By tailoring his Pokémon's diets, Sato could potentially accelerate their growth and enhance their abilities.

Although store-bought Pokémon food was decent, it was designed for the general market, offering basic sustenance without much customization.

Both The Lilycove Compendium, a gift from Elsa, and The Grimoire of Dark Spirits, provided by the village elder in White River Village, emphasized the importance of specialized diets in Pokémon development, even offering detailed recipes.

To become a top-tier Pokémon Trainer, one must also be a competent Pokémon Breeder.

Currently, Sato had acquired recipes for crafting customized food for his Swampert and Pelipper from The Lilycove Compendium.

Once he returned to Saffron City, he planned to source the necessary ingredients and start preparing these specialized meals.
