I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

It's likely that Pokémon don't consider wild animals as their own kind, which is why Farfetch'd can cut down ducks so naturally.

“Oh right, now we need to apply this… This is honey I made, you can do it.” Heath patiently instructed Farfetch’d, feeling that his relationship with Farfetch’d was a little strange.

Normally, Heath should be Farfetch'd's trainer, but in terms of cooking skills, Heath is more like Farfetch'd's master, while Farfetch'd is Heath's apprentice.

Fortunately, BJ roast duck is not complicated to make. With Heath's hands-on guidance, Da Long Ya successfully made a decent BJ roast duck. Heath took a bite and thought it tasted pretty good.

However, the next step is for Farfetch'd to make it all by himself. During this process, Heath cannot give any verbal instructions, since Farfetch'd will finish making it independently.

Heath sincerely hoped that Farfetch'd would stop stealing the equivalent exchange technique from the neighboring Fullmetal Alchemist. If Farfetch'd made Heath another large coal, Heath would be furious.

Just as Heath was praying earnestly, Farfetch'd put down the onion, looking dejected.

"Flytail duck, what's wrong?" Heath looked at the flytail duck, somewhat puzzled. There was still one duck left, so they had enough ingredients.

Could it be that Big Green Duck has had a change of heart and finally realized that it is actually just a duck like the ducks in front of it, so it doesn't plan to learn how to make Beijing roast duck anymore?

"Onion..." Farfetch'd pushed the onion in front of Heath with a disappointed look. Heath took it curiously and glanced at it.

The scallion, which had looked quite good before, now had a chip in it. Heath figured it was probably accidentally chopped into a kitchen knife with the scallion.

"So, are you going to go find another one?" Heath asked Farfetch'd, a very special Pokémon.

They often carry with them a type of scallion, which is generally rare and is becoming increasingly difficult to find due to environmental degradation.

So much so that two wild farfalle ducks might even fight over a better piece of farfalle, vying for ownership of it.

When Heath made a deal with Farfetch'd before, he was very curious about where Farfetch'd got all those green onions, but Farfetch'd never took Heath there.

"Do you want me to come along?" Heath asked Farfetch'd, who looked like it was going to find its own green onions. Heath also wanted to dig up some green onions.

"Onion!" The green onion duck shook its head decisively.

"We'll be traveling then, and you can't just find a new green onion when you get to a place and it's spoiled, can you?" Heath asked, looking at the green onion duck in front of her with a wry smile.

This made Farfetch'd hesitate for a moment. After glancing at Heath a few times, Farfetch'd finally nodded and agreed to take Heath with him to find Farfetch'd.

Heath followed Farfetch'd out of curiosity, and then he noticed that Farfetch'd was flying into the Evergreen Forest, which made Heath quickly call out to Farfetch'd.

"Is your leek in the Evergreen Forest?" Heath asked Farfetch'd, and Farfetch'd nodded.

Heath immediately turned back with Farfetch'd, then made a sweet and sour pork rib dish in the dormitory, packed it in a lunchbox, and covered the Poké Ball before heading towards Evergreen Forest with Farfetch'd.

When Heath arrived at Evergreen Forest, he saw many Officer Jenny patrolling the area. Officer Jenny was focused on explaining her tasks to her sisters, and only noticed Heath's arrival amidst the laughter of others.

"What are you doing here?" Officer Feng came over with a dark face. Heath could already see the veins popping out of Feng's hands.

Heath quickly explained the situation, but Officer Jenny still looked at Heath with disbelief until Heath showed her the broken green onion from Farfetch'd. Only then did Officer Jenny reluctantly put Heath inside.

In addition, to ensure Heath's safety, she was given a communication device; she could bring her team over simply by pressing a button.

Upon returning to the Evergreen Forest, Heath felt a completely different sensation. Before, at night, the Evergreen Forest appeared somewhat eerie, but during the day, it was just an ordinary forest.

However, there were many wild Pokémon inside. They scurried through the grass in a panic, while Caterpie perched on a tree trunk, curiously watching Heath.

Heath looked around and decided to follow Farfetch'd to get the green onion, and then think about how to find the wild Pokémon.

Just as Heath was following Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd suddenly stopped, and then Heath saw a little girl holding a teddy bear standing in front of Farfetch'd.

Chapter 23 'Her' True Identity

Heath paused for a moment. The little girl in front of him looked very familiar. Wasn't this the one he had seen in the Evergreen Forest last time?

"You're here again. There's a nice smell coming from your arms. What's that?" the little girl said in her childish voice, her big eyes curiously looking at Heath.

"Hmm...you mean this?" Heath gestured for Farfetch'd to stand next to him, then took out a prepared lunchbox from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to the little girl.

The rich aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs instantly wafted out, and the golden-brown color of the ribs, glistening in the sunlight, made the little girl swallow hard.

Heath watched with amusement, feeling quite pleased. It seemed that obtaining that important clue had been quite effective. This little girl... no, this Pokémon really loved sweet and sour food, and sweet and sour pork ribs perfectly matched that.

"Do you want some?" Heath asked the little girl with a smile. He regretted using the identification opportunity on the farfalle duck.

The little girl nodded subconsciously, her face flushed with excitement, but she quickly shook her head, crossed her arms haughtily, turned her head away, and gave a disdainful look.

Heath was both amused and exasperated. He hadn't realized this Pokémon was such a tsundere. But this only made Heath more curious about its identity. What kind of Pokémon could make such a lifelike imitation?

"You're not actually human, are you? I saw you in Evergreen City before. You should still be training your little Charmander right now." Heath looked at the little girl in front of her and decided to expose her identity.

"Huh? Who said that! I'm human... I just... didn't bring my Charmander, so I came for a walk!" The little girl seemed to suddenly explode, excitedly gesturing as she spoke.

Heath couldn't help but laugh. He happily clutched his stomach and laughed heartily, his cheerful laughter echoing through the forest. The little girl glared angrily at Heath.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I can confirm it now, you really aren't human, because that little girl's Pokémon is Squirtle." Heath wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at the stunned little girl and laughed even more heartily.

Previously, in order to prevent the little girl from following his lead, Heath deliberately replaced Squirtle with Charmander, and she actually fell for it.

"You! You! Insidious! Cunning!... Shameless!" The little girl was so angry she almost jumped up, her face contorted with rage and shame.

"Sorry, sorry... cough cough, getting back to the point, you were the one causing trouble in the Evergreen City forest before, weren't you? The Alliance has taken notice of you and is investigating and searching for you. If you are discovered, you will be arrested." Heath said with a smile.

Although he didn't know how the League would deal with the Pokémon, Hiss just wanted to intimidate her, and who knows, he might find out her true identity.

"I... I can transform into something else and escape! You humans can't possibly find me!" The little girl panicked for a moment, but then she found a way. Her body twisted, and a green caterpillar appeared where she had been standing.

Heath watched this scene in astonishment. It was too perfect. If Heath hadn't witnessed the transformation firsthand, she probably wouldn't have guessed that the caterpillar was actually transformed from a little girl.

“Who says she can’t recognize you? Let me tell you, there’s an extremely powerful person living here. Your transformation won’t fool her.” Heath thought of Ms. Lori, that powerful woman.

The opponent's Gengar is extremely powerful. Heath even thinks that Gengar trained by Agatha Christie, one of the Elite Four, might not be as strong as Ms. Lori's.

"I...I..." Caterpie was a little flustered. Heath smiled. It seemed that this little guy had encountered an opponent who could see through her form before.

"What Pokémon are you? Mew?" Heath looked at the little girl with some anticipation. In his opinion, Mew was the most likely candidate, after all, Mew was quite lively and its illusion abilities were very strong.

"Huh? What's a Mew? I'm not! I'm Zorua!" Caterpie twisted its body angrily, and then a brand new Pokémon appeared in front of Seath.

Hiss looked at the Zoroa in surprise. He knew Zoroa, of course. It was the master of illusions. Although it was not a legendary Pokémon, it was still a very good Pokémon. It was a Dark-type Pokémon.

Moreover, she possesses extremely strong illusionary abilities, which makes sense in light of the little girl's other bizarre illusions.

After all, Zoroark, the evolved form of Zoroark, is the master of phantoms, and the phantoms it creates even have the magical ability to be detected by cameras.

However, Heath remembered that Zoroar wasn't a Pokémon from the Kanto region, so how did this Zoroar come about...?

"You...were you captured by Team Plasma?" Heath thought of the Team Plasma member he had previously entertained, from whom he had obtained a clue.

The clues say that Team Plasma brought something to the Kanto region in order to cooperate with Team Rocket. If that's the case, could Zoroa be there?

"You know them? You're a bad guy too!" Soroya bristled with anger, baring his teeth as he glared at Heath.

Before Heath could explain, Zorua charged at high speed and swung its claw, but it landed on Farfetch'd instead.

Dark-type energy erupted from Farfetch'd, who stared blankly at Zoroark, not quite understanding why this little sister had suddenly come over and affectionately nuzzled it.

Heath breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Magic Guardian had activated, and Zorua's Dark-type moves were ineffective against Farfetch'd.

"I'm not a bad person. I've just met Team Plasma before, and you're not a Pokémon from this region," Hiss quickly explained. Although it wasn't Mew, Zoroar was still pretty good.

Moreover, this is a Shiny Zoroa.

Hiss looked at the wary Zoroar in front of him. A normal Zoroar should have dark red fur, but this Zoroar had blue fur, making it look very beautiful. No wonder it was a fox Pokémon.

"This is sweet and sour pork ribs, it's sweet and sour, would you like to try some? Don't worry, I'll leave it here and then I'll leave." Heath placed the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of him, then glanced at Soloar.

"But I have to tell you, the League has really found you. They're hunting you down. If you're discovered, I don't know what will happen." Heath shrugged, then left with Farfetch'd.

Chapter 24 Scallion Pancakes?

After putting down the ribs, Heath left as promised. Zorua is a timid Pokémon. Unless you're a protagonist like Ash, Heath doesn't think you can gain Zorua's trust with just a few words.

So instead of increasing Zoroastrian resentment there, Heath would rather accompany Farfetch'd to find the green onion.

Once Soloar encounters those who are hunting her down, she should trust Heath more. These things need to be done slowly; you can't rush them.

Furthermore, Hiss was very satisfied with Zorua. Ever since he learned that the other party was Zorua, Hiss had felt an urge to obtain this Pokémon. He wanted to make this Zorua his companion and travel together.

"Let's go, Farfetch'd, let's continue looking for your farfetch'd." Heath smiled and rubbed Farfetch'd's head, his chef's instincts causing him to subconsciously touch his veins.

Hmm, if we cut from here, we should be able to avoid contaminating the duck feathers, right?

Heath shook his head violently. This damned instinct—this is what happens when you're a chef for too long. Now, whenever Heath touches these animals, he subconsciously thinks about how best to cut them.

"Scallion~" the scallion duck called out happily, and Heath smiled.

Once Zorua becomes a member of their team, communication between Heath and Farfetch'd will be much easier. After all, the Zorua they just met seemed to have telepathic abilities, so Zorua could become a messenger.

[You entertained Zoroaz, and you have obtained the TM Dark Blast (Zorua Exclusive)]

Hiss's lips twitched. Although he knew that entertaining Zoroa might yield some small items, he really didn't expect to get Dark Blast. But what did this Zoroa exclusive mean?

Heath curiously pressed the disc onto Farfetch'd's head.

Farfetch'd cannot learn Dark Blast because it's a Zoroark exclusive skill.

Heath touched his nose and glanced at the bewildered Farfetch'd. It seemed that getting Farfetch'd to master Zoroark's signature moves would be a bit difficult, so this machine must be for Zoroark.

Dark Blast is a move exclusive to Zoroark. Heath remembers that in the game, you had to be at a high level to learn it, but now that there's a TM, it's much more convenient.

This also means that Zoroar can master the Dark Blast move even before it evolves, which is truly remarkable.

"So it seems I'm destined to meet Zorua." Heath felt like Shen Gongbao from the Investiture of the Gods at this moment. Maybe next time he could say to Zorua, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment?"

Heath followed the farfalle duck for a while, and then he saw a small lake, and next to the lake grew some plants that looked like watercress.

"Onion!" Farfetch'd happily pointed to the plant, then flew over and started searching for something in the water.

Heath looked at the plant in front of him with curiosity. He recognized it; wasn't it a green onion?

However, in the world of Pokémon, green onions are a relatively rare plant, and the green onions people here usually refer to are shallots. Heath pondered, no wonder people say that Farfetch'd are few in number, after all, green onions are indeed rare.

"A green onion!" Just as Heath was contemplating life, a giant green onion duck flew out from the nearby woods, holding a large green onion in its hand, and looked at Heath warily.

"Green onion! Green onion!" Farfetch'd's eyes lit up as it looked at the green onion in the hand of the other Farfetch'd, extremely excited.

Heath pondered for a moment. He remembered that Farfetch'd couldn't survive without the green onion, so it would steal green onions from other Farfetch'ds. And judging from the current situation, his own Farfetch'd seemed to have a target.

The Farfetch'd angrily waved its green onion, then suddenly took flight. Immediately afterward, it folded its wings and charged at Farfetch'd at high speed. Heath gaped in surprise. Was this a Brave Bird's Fierce Attack?

The green onion duck seemed a little scared; it was clear it had learned its lesson from this other green onion duck.

"Farfetch'd, don't be afraid, use Fire Punch!" Heath quickly directed his first battle in the Pokémon world.

Brave Bird's fierce attack slammed into Farfetch'd's Fire Punch. Farfetch'd felt a tremendous force, but it was just force, without the explosive damage of Flying-type energy.
