The lone Berry Mixer placed in the corner of the supply station was roughly the same as the one Sato remembered from the past. The only notable difference was the fee-detection device attached to it.
In front of the supply station was a small rest area, but it seemed like there was an issue with this particular station, so it wasn't open for use. As a result, no one was there. The number of people in the mission hall was already small, and those present were all gathered in the rest area near the other supply station, which was operating normally on the right side of the hall.
With no one to disturb him, Sato felt relieved. He slowly approached the Berry Mixer in the corner and carefully examined it.
Sato's only thought at the moment was, "I hope this Berry Mixer operates similarly to the one in the game."
To explain briefly, the Berry Mixer was square-shaped, with a large circular glass bowl in the center. Inside the glass bowl, there was a cross-shaped needle.
At the top of the needle was a crusher. Each of the four corners of the Berry Mixer had a red button, and there were small doors on each of the four sides where the PokeBlocks would come out. One side also had a dial to adjust the crusher's rotation speed.
The operation of the Berry Mixer was simple. Since there were four buttons, up to four people could operate it simultaneously.
The process was also straightforward (similar to the game). As the cross-shaped needle turned along with the crusher, the operator had to follow the needle's movement with their eyes. Each time the needle pointed to a red button, the operator had to press the button immediately.
Typically, the needle rotated at three different speeds: low, medium, and high. Most ordinary people, due to average dynamic vision, could only keep up with the needle's slow speed.
Based on the principle that the faster the needle spun, the better the PokeBlocks produced, the slow, medium, and fast speeds corresponded to low, medium, and high-quality PokeBlocks.
However, this was mostly theoretical. Very few people could keep up with the needle at it's highest speed, so high-quality PokeBlocks were rare. The so-called "high-quality" PokeBlocks available on the market were usually made at the medium speed.
Sato placed three Oran Berries and one Nanab Berry into the glass bowl of the Berry Mixer. Then, he aligned his Rocket Team watch with the slot left on the fee-detection machine. Taking a deep breath, he pressed the start button.

In the next moment, the needle and crusher began to turn, but at a very slow pace. The berries inside were only slightly crushed. Seeing this, Sato immediately turned the speed dial in front of him to medium.
In an instant, the needle and crusher roared to life, spinning at full speed. At this point, the needle's movement was too fast for an average person to follow, and only faint afterimages could be seen.
By this time, Sato was fully focused, his pupils narrowed to pinpoints. With his heightened dynamic vision, the needle's fast movement appeared as slow as it had when it first started.
Thanks to his excellent dynamic vision, Sato effortlessly pressed the red button whenever the needle pointed to his corner. As he calmly moved his fingers to press the button, the berries inside the glass bowl rapidly turned into a thick, cloudy liquid.
As Sato increased the crusher's rotation speed to the maximum and accurately pressed the red button in sync with the cross-shaped needle, the Berry Mixer began to emit a unique oscillation frequency. Under this special frequency, the impurities in the murky juice were rapidly broken down.
After more than two minutes of effort, the berry juice in the glass bowl had transformed into a clear, radiant blue liquid with a beautiful sheen. Seeing this, Sato immediately stopped his intense concentration and pressed the button to halt the needle and crusher.
Now, Sato patiently waited for the Berry Mixer's automatic process to finish. It was currently using a powerful concentration mechanism to transform the clear, glowing blue liquid into PokeBlocks.
Due to the sustained mental exertion for nearly three minutes, Sato looked pale, as though he had just recovered from a serious illness. His mind was buzzing, overwhelmed by fatigue.
"I didn't expect it to be this strenuous. It seems the limit of my temporary enhanced dynamic vision is around three minutes," Sato thought as he closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind and ease the headache.
He had named his ability to temporarily enhance his dynamic vision "Bullet Time." In this state, Sato's reaction speed increased dramatically, but the cost was a significant drain on both his physical and mental energy. Prolonged use could even result in permanent mental damage.
This time, using Bullet Time to create PokeBlocks had pushed him to his limit. He almost fainted from the mental exhaustion.
After more than a minute of mental relaxation, the discomfort in Sato's head began to subside, and his complexion returned to normal.
At that moment, the blue liquid in the Berry Mixer's glass bowl had almost disappeared. A series of pale blue, square-shaped PokeBlocks were being dispensed through the small automatic door, falling into a glass container below.
These pale blue PokeBlocks were exceptional in appearance, resembling flawless gems—crystal clear and radiant. Under the light, they emitted a beautiful sheen.
"Are these really PokeBlocks? Reality is so much different from the games. I never imagined PokeBlocks could be refined to this level. All my hard work was worth it," Sato thought with a smile, picking up one of the gem-like blue PokeBlocks from the glass container.
Without hesitation, he popped the enticing PokeBlock into his mouth to taste it.
The next second, Sato's eyes widened in astonishment. Soon after, a look of bliss spread across his face. The PokeBlock, like the finest candy, slowly melted in his mouth, and an indescribable burst of delicious flavors overwhelmed his taste buds.
At the same time, a soothing, cool energy spread from his mouth to his entire body. It felt as if he were soaking in an incredibly relaxing hot bath or sipping ice-cold juice on a scorching day. The sensation filled him with comfort, and he could feel his physical and mental energy rapidly replenishing.
