Chapter 57 - 16 - Ice Cream...for Breakfast?

Later at Ash's house, Ash was cooking pancakes for breakfast. He can cook thanks to his great-grandfather's secret cookbook. Serena was setting up the table, plates, glasses, and utensils. Rico was getting a container of ice cream, chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream flavor in one container from the refrigerator to make it as a garnish and decorations for the pancakes. Red was getting a bottle of maple syrup from the fridge as well. In less than an hour, Ash finished cooking the pancakes and served them to his friends. Rico then served them a big jug of orange juice. And upon examining the pancakes with ice cream on it, Cilan responded like a connoisseur, "Hmmm, this seems nutritious, but the ice cream part is not." He then looked at Ash, and responded, "Ice cream is not appropriated for breakfast."

"Yeah, but some people preferred to have this in their pancakes," Ash brightly replied with explaining.

"Okay then," Cilan seriously replied in suspicion. He and his brothers then take a bit of their food using forks and eat it, and then suddenly, they got allured by its perfect taste, awing to its taste, fluffiness, and texture. Their Pokémon are eating their special food as well.

"Wow, it's so delicious!" Cilan commented in embracing the taste.

"It's smooth and just the right taste," Chili added in embracing the taste.

"These pancakes are so perfect!" Cress added in embracing the taste. They then resumed eating in a slow pace as Ash smiled in approval.

"Well," Ash brightly responded, "some people wanted to increase one or two ingredients of their pancake recipes more than it requires, but mine is just the right amount of ingredients."

Later, as he eats, Cilan noticed Rico's Lucario and Litleo eating their special food on food bowls, and Piplup just finished eating.

"Wow, those Pokémon are really nice," he commented plainly.

"Yeah, that'd be my new friend's,"Ash brightly replied.

"That's mine," Rico happily responded. His Lucario then responded in happy response.

"That's my first Pokémon," Rico brightly continued, "as a Riolu." Amazed by this, Cilan responded, "Wow, that was awesome. It's that wild?"

"That's right," Rico brightly answered. And then suddenly, Delia came home with a paper bag of groceries, only to see her son and his friends are eating breakfast.

"Oh, hi, mom," Ash brightly greeted her upon seeing her.

"Hi, Ash," Delia greeted him back nicely and softly. Upon seeing her, Cilan stand up and asked her in style, "Oh, you must be his mother, right?"

"Oh, yes, it's me," Delia replied softly. Then to Cilan, "You must be Ash's friend." In response, Cilan stand up, and greeted Delia in a manner of a gentleman.

"It's nice to meet you, madam," he greeted her like a gentleman. Blushing a bit, Delia replied, "Oh, don't be too kind."

"I'm sorry," Cilan retorted in a gentleman style, "but that's what connoisseurs act like." After that, Cilan returned to his seat and resumed eating his meal. Ash then get a plate and served his mother breakfast. Delia then put aside her groceries and sat down to eat. And upon tasting the pancakes, Delia embraced the taste of it, commenting, "Mmmmm... it's so delicious and sweet. Wow, Ash, I think you had mastered making these pancakes. Your great-grandfather will be so proud of you." Rico then served her a glass of orange juice.

"Thanks," Ash happily replied. His Pikachu then responded in happy saying.
