Poffins

Today the gang arrived in Floaroma Town, the site of the next Pokemon contest. The town was beautiful with flowers and trees everywhere. Dawn loved it. An old woman who lived in the town told them that many, many years ago Floaroma Town was a barren wasteland and nothing seemed to grow. It caused the people despair. But one day, a beautiful woman magically made all the flowers and trees grow and Floaroma Town became beautiful like it is today. The gang loved that story, especially Dawn.
Suddenly Dawn noticed a poster that mentioned a poffin cooking class.
"Poffin?" Ash asked. "Is that a treat or something?" 
Dawn informed them that poffins were bun like treats made from berries for Pokemon. They kept Pokemon healthy and made them look and feel great.
"Oh, those are like the Pokeblocks you make in Hoenn." Ash said.
"I've helped my mom make poffins for her Pokemon, so I'm an expert." Dawn said.
"Can we go to the poffin class?" She asked the boys.
They agreed to go; it would be good to learn how to make new treats for their Pokemon.
The poffin cooking class was held at a house where hundreds of flowers and berries were growing. The garden was looked after by a Roserade and a Lotad. Once the gang showed up at the house, Ash noticed Roserade. Just then his Budew came out of her Poke Ball and went over to Roserade. Roserade started talking to Budew right away. 
"That was really quick. Budew made friends with that Roserade right away." Dawn said.
"That's because Budew's final evolved form is Roserade and she wants to evolve into that in the future." Ash said.
Just then a green-haired woman came out; she was the owner of Roserade and Lotad.
"Welcome." She said. "My name is Forsythia. If you come with me we'll start the poffin cooking class." 
Forsythia led the gang to a kitchen, where the cooking classes took place. There were cooking pots and poffin making molds all set out and ready for use. The first step was to place berries, all washed and cut up, in a pot of cold water. Then you turn up the heat while stirring nonstop. 
"Stirring gives the poffins their flavor." Forsythia said.
So the gang got to work making their poffins. Tomo decided to watch because he wasn't good at cooking yet. Dawn placed a time on the kitchen timer on her Poketch. She explained that poffin batter will burn if you keep it on the heat too long, and won't cook right if the batter isn't on long enough. Ash took great care with stirring his batter because this was his first time doing it, while Dawn made the poffins easily like an expert. When the batter was perfectly stirred the batter went into the batter molds and left to set and cool.
Soon Ash, Brock and Dawn's poffins were made and they came out perfect. Ash released his Budew, Shinx, Piplup, Staravia, Pikachu and Riolu to try the poffins. Growlithe joined in too and they all liked the poffins. 
"You did very well there Ash." Forsythia said. 
Ash smiled. 
Brock sent out his Nosepass, Bonsly, Croagunk and Nuzleaf and his Pokemon liked the poffins too. Last of all Dawn gave her poffins to Piplup, Ariadows, Burmy, Buneary and Pachirisu to try. Piplup, Burmy, Buneary and Pachirisu didn't like her poffins but Ariados did.
"I don't get it." Dawn said, while washing dishes. "I did the recipe mom taught me of her poffins for her Pokemon correctly. But only Ariados liked it." 
"Well it seems you're not a expert at making poffins yet." Ash said.
He knew she was boasting earlier.
"Pokemon have different tastes for different flavors they like. Like Pikachu likes sweet, Riolu likes bitter and Growlithe likes spicy. You need to check with your Pokemon to see what flavors they like." 
Dawn frowned in anger and embarrassment, not happy that Ash outsmarted her again.
After the class was over Forsythia made tea and cake for the gang. Ash's Budew continued talking to Roserade.
"I'm glad to see Roserade is making another friend." Forsythia said. "It's only calm with me and Lotad."
Forsythia explained that Roserade has been timid ever since it was a Budew. One day she met it at the Pokemon Center and asked it if wanted to come and live with her; because it was so shy it never made friends with the other Pokemon. Budew accepted at once, even though it and Forsythia had just met. Budew came with Forsythia because of her flower garden and berry orchard. Soon it evolved into Roselia and then into Roserade. Ever since it was a big help to her garden and orchard. 
"I must ask Ash. Will you evolve Budew into Roserade?" Forsythia asked. 
"Yes, she wants to become one in the future." Ash said.
"Well then you can have these." Forsythia said.
She presented three evolutionary stones; one was a Shiny Stone, which was a light yellow color, a purple stone called a Dusk Stone and a bluish-green stone called a Dawn Stone. 
"Ash, this Shiny Stone allows a Roselia to evolve into a Roserade and also allows Togetic to evolve into Togekiss." Forsythia said. "This Dusk Stone allows Murkrow to evolve into Honchkrow and also allows Misdreavus to evolve into Mismagius and this Dawn Stone will allow a male Kirlia to evolve into Gallade and also allow a female Snorunt to evolve into Froslass."
Ash was amazed with what these new evolutionary stones could do and looked at the Pokemon Forsythia just mentioned on the Pokedex.
"Togekiss, the Jubilee Pokemon and the evolved form of Togetic. It will never appear where there is strife. It's sightings have become rare recently."
"Honchkrow, the Big Boss Pokemon and the evolved form of Murkrow. Becoming active at night, it is known to swarm with numerous Murkrow in tow."
"Mismagius, the Magical Pokemon and the evolved form of Misdreavus. It's cries sound like incantations. Those hearing it are tormented by headaches and hallucinations."
"Gallade, the Blade Pokemon and the evolved form of Kirlia. A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, it fights using extended swords on it's elbows."
"Froslass, the Snow Land Pokemon and the evolved form of Snorunt. It freezes foes with a icy breath nearly -60 degrees F. What seems to be it's body is actually hollow." 
"Wow." Brock was awestruck. "Are you going to evolve Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus Ash?"
"I will later, but I haven't asked them if they want to evolve yet." Ash said.
Forsythia told Ash he could keep the evolutionary stones because she had plenty of them. So Ash was happy to add more stones to his collection. 
Later that day...
Dawn tried to make poffins again for her Pokemon and this time she made the right recipe for her Pokemon because she now knew what flavors her Pokemon liked. So now everyone was happy because they knew how to make poffins.
