I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Ho-Oh is, after all, a bird-like mythical beast, so it's not surprising that it eats insects. Therefore, Heath remained quite calm.

“Of course, frying them makes the insects taste even better, and you can also sprinkle some seasonings on them to enhance the flavor.” Heath calmly scooped out the fried insects, poured them into a bowl, and handed it to Ho-Oh.

"Hey, isn't this Heath? When did you get back?" A familiar voice called out. Heath looked up and saw Xiao Gang, who was studying in Changqing City recently. He was still the same as before, with squinty eyes, but Xiao Gang looked a bit darker.

“I came back a couple of days ago… Would you like something to eat?” Heath poured the oil from frying the insects into a small bowl and then began washing his pot.

At this moment, Xiao Gang also walked over. He was smiling and about to say something when he saw the red-haired Phoenix King pick up a yellow, wrinkled worm with chopsticks and put it in its mouth. It slowly took a bite, and Xiao Gang was immediately shocked. He stared at Phoenix King in astonishment, but the shock was not very obvious against the backdrop of its squinty eyes.

"What...are we eating?" Xiao Gang had an expression that said, 'I don't understand, but I'm very shocked.'

"Plant roots and stems, what's it called again, cordyceps?" Heath lied calmly. Ho-Oh rolled its eyes at Heath, but considering that the fried insects tasted pretty good, it gave up on exposing Heath's idea.

Moreover, if this human were to vomit next to him, it would greatly spoil Ho-Oh's appetite.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Gang visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Heath for a bowl of beef noodles. Heath nodded and began preparing the breakfast Xiao Gang needed.

"Hey Hey, look, this is my new phone!" Brock proudly pulled out a new phone. Hey glanced at it and saw that it was the Mew Phone, which was quite popular in the Pokémon League recently. It was a high-end phone and was quite expensive.

However, Heath wasn't interested in this. Cell phones in the Pokémon world were similar to those in his previous life, except that they were updated much faster. Heath remembered that Sister Feng had mentioned that when she first started working, she was using a flip phone, and then it became a smartphone so quickly.

Heath felt that this was like Conan still being in elementary school, while cell phones had evolved from flip phones to smartphones; there was clearly something wrong with the technological development in the Pokémon world.

"I heard this phone has a selfie function?" Heath chuckled as he tossed the noodles he had prepared into the pot to cook, then wiped his hands, looked up at Xiao Gang, and asked.

Xiao Gang's expression visibly stiffened, and then he nodded stiffly.

"Then I heard that this phone has a feature that recognizes eyeballs for selfies?" Heath added with a smile. Ho-Oh, who had been eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but laugh out loud when it heard this, spraying Heath's chili powder and other things all over its face. It couldn't help but cover its nose and sneeze.

Hiss's lips twitched. Goodness, is your sense of humor really that low?

Xiao Gang's face darkened even more. Just thinking about the selfie function brought tears to his eyes. He had only intended to try out the selfie function, but every time he tried to take a selfie, his phone kept prompting him to open his eyes, open his eyes, and not close them.

Xiao Gang squinted at Heath, who chuckled and took out a piece of braised beef, sliced ​​it, and set it aside for later use.

"Let's not talk about this and we can still be good friends." Xiao Gang felt even more depressed as he listened to the little girl next to him sneezing painfully. If it weren't for the fact that he and Hiss were very close, Xiao Gang would have vowed to let her experience what the power of a Rock-type Pokémon was like.

"Haha, I'm just jealous of your new phone," Heath said smugly, then stretched, yawned, and finally scooped out the cooked noodles.

Ho-Oh left happily, but didn't leave Heath with a satisfactory evaluation, which made Heath a little sad. It seems that he still has to wait a while before he can stop being human. He just doesn't know when that will be. Heath is seriously considering whether to use Hoopa's golden ring to pull Lugia out and give himself a good review.

However, remembering how Ho-Oh was pulled out last time, Heath gave up on the plan.

"Hey, who was that little girl just now?" Xiao Gang asked Heath, squinting at him as he ate his bowl of beef noodles.

Heath gave Xiaogang a serious look, then silently took out his phone. Xiaogang watched as Heath pressed the number 1 on the screen and instantly understood what he was planning to do.

"Cough cough cough! What are you thinking! I'm not a pervert, I'm just curious why I didn't see such a little loli in Changqing City before." Xiao Gang said angrily. Hiss's eyes widened. Goodness, he was just thinking of making a joke. Did you seriously observe all the lolis in Changqing City?

Officer, this is the man!

"Red hair! How many red hairs are there in Evergreen City? Besides, am I the kind of person who would lay a hand on a little girl? I only like pretty older women!" Xiao Gang looked at Heath's even stranger gaze and felt like crying. Although he was indeed interested in pretty older women, they were still pretty older women. He wouldn't lay a hand on a little girl.

"Oh~ so you mean you're ready to make a move on any pretty older woman you see?" Heath teased Xiao Gang, who paused for a moment, then his face darkened even more.

Chapter 297 Sakaki's Treat

“I don’t know that girl either. She’s just eaten here a few times. I entertain so many guests every day, how could I possibly know where every single one of them lives?” Heath looked at Xiao Gang with a strange expression. He was a chef, not a famous detective. How could he possibly know every single guest’s information? That would be too outrageous.

However, upon closer reflection, Heath realized that if the Chef's Eye could acquire this ability in the future, then Heath could indeed know the address of each guest and so on.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang gave up on asking further questions. After all, he was just curious why he hadn't seen it before, so he focused on eating his beef noodles.

"Speaking of which... cough cough cough, Heath, when are you planning to... cough cough, go to Dark Grey City?" Xiao Gang was about to chat with Heath when he choked on his food and almost spat out his noodles. Heath's lips twitched. Couldn't this guy finish eating before talking?

Our ancestors once said that one should not speak while eating or sleeping. Although this is for the sake of etiquette, it is actually correct not to speak while eating. Talking while eating can easily cause choking. If you don't know the Heimlich maneuver, it is difficult to survive if you choke on your trachea. However, Heath took the exam seriously to get his business license, so he knows a little about these things.

Opening a food shop in the Pokémon League is a difficult task, as it requires passing an exam, one of which is first aid. Here, Hiss learned the Heimlich maneuver and mastered some other basic first aid knowledge.

Fortunately, Xiao Gang was alright. He coughed a couple of times and was fine. He then let Heath, who had run out, return to his dining car and poured Xiao Gang a bowl of noodle soup to prevent him from choking.

"Next time you want to talk, wait until after you finish eating." Heath looked at Xiao Gang with annoyance. Heath had just been seriously recalling the Heimlich maneuver he had learned. Luckily, this guy was alright, otherwise Heath didn't know how he would face Xiao Gang's parents.

"Sorry, sorry, I thought it would be fine." Xiao Gang scratched his head awkwardly. The feeling of being choked was absolutely terrible, especially since he had added a lot of chili oil to this bowl of beef noodles, which made him feel even worse. Anyone who has experienced being choked by chili oil knows what that feels like.

It took Xiao Gang a while to completely stop coughing, and Heath finally relaxed. He had been thinking about whether to call Miss Joey for emergency help.

"Isn't this Xiao Gang? What's wrong?" Mr. Sakaki walked over curiously. He was dressed very formally today, in a suit and tie, with carefully applied makeup and a faint scent of mint perfume. Heath couldn't help but glance at Mr. Sakaki. Was some important person here?

"Mr. Sakaki! I choked on my words just now." Xiao Gang's face turned a little red. It seems that being seen in such an embarrassing situation by his idol is something that makes one want to flee the city on the spot. Heath smiled, wondering what Xiao Gang's expression would be if he found out Sakaki's true identity in the future.

"Be careful, talking while eating can easily lead to trouble." Mr. Sakaki nodded knowingly, then turned his gaze to Heath, who looked at Mr. Sakaki curiously, wondering why Mr. Sakaki was dressed so formally today.

"Heath, are you free at noon today?" Sakaki asked. Heath thought for a moment. There was nothing special to do today, so he was free. He nodded clearly.

"Well, a guest is coming to my house for dinner today, so I was wondering if you could come and cook for him," Mr. Sakaki asked gently. Heath nodded. Of course, there was no problem with that. It wasn't the first time Heath had cooked at Mr. Sakaki's house. The kitchen utensils at Mr. Sakaki's house were all very good, but now Heath had even better kitchen utensils.

Dialga's pressure cooker and cleaver, in particular, are practically chef's magic tools. Heath is very curious about what he can get next time. Will it be Dialga's again?

After agreeing on a time with Giovanni, Giovanni left in a hurry. Heath became even more curious about who the guest was, that Giovanni was in such a rush.

"Mr. Sakaki is such a handsome man! Didn't they hold a contest before? Mr. Sakaki was the number one most charming man in Evergreen City." Xiao Gang said enviously. Heath was also a little surprised. He really didn't expect Mr. Sakaki to be so popular. Sure enough, the first thing a qualified villain has mastered is disguising himself. Those who are too flamboyant are usually not very powerful.

After seeing Xiao Gang off, Heath served a few more guests before closing his food truck. He then took his Pokémon and drove the truck to the vicinity of Mr. Giovanni's house. He stopped the truck and rang the doorbell of Mr. Giovanni's house a few times.

"Heath, I've prepared all the ingredients." Giovanni warmly led Heath into his kitchen, where Heath saw the guest Giovanni had mentioned: an old woman in purple clothes with a cane. Heath recognized her as Agatha Christie, the oldest Elite Four member in the Kanto region and a Ghost Pokémon Master with exceptional skill.

However, Heath only glanced at it before walking into the kitchen. Even if Avalon were standing there now, Heath wouldn't be too surprised. After all, he had even met Cynthia. Kikuko was just another Ultron, nothing unusual.

Heath glanced at the ingredients in the kitchen and then decided what to cook for the day. However, a piece of tofu in particular piqued his interest. He decided to make Mapo Tofu. After all, he had just casually glanced at the ingredients and discovered that Kikuko's favorite flavor was spicy. This was quite unusual, as older people usually prefer milder flavors.

However, while Heath was cooking, he could hear Kikuko's hearty laughter coming from the living room. It seemed that the old lady was still very energetic and that Kikuko would probably live a healthy life for a while. Heath smiled and didn't pay much attention. Even if it was Kikuko, Heath didn't intend to go over and flatter her.

“Hey, look closely, this is Mapo Tofu. It’s quite difficult to make this…” Heath was about to teach him a thing or two.

You have triggered a temporary quest: make a "Little Chef" version of Mapo Tofu, and you will receive a mystery reward.

Good grief, another quest has been triggered?

Chapter 298 News about the Mimikyu Trainer

"The Mapo Tofu from Little Chef?" Heath stroked his chin thoughtfully. Heath remembered that the Mapo Tofu from Little Chef was called Magic Mapo Tofu because it had an extra crispy texture compared to other Mapo Tofu, so it was called Six Flavors in One. It had been achieved in reality, and the difficulty was not very high.

After all, the production of this magical Mapo Tofu is still within the scope of what carbon-based life forms can produce. It won't result in the kind of dishes that glow later on or cause hallucinations after just one bite. Heath does remember how to make Mapo Tofu: it requires soybeans, which are cooked, flattened, then marinated in sauce, and finally deep-fried.

Fortunately, Sakaki had some soybeans, so Heath took them out and started making this unique magical mapo tofu. Although Heath felt that this tofu tasted similar to regular mapo tofu, since it was a task given by the cheat system, Heath still had to do it seriously.

After spending some time, Heath finished making the magical Mapo Tofu, and then took it out along with the other prepared dishes and placed it on the table for Mr. Sakaki and King Kikuko. Then he turned around and went back to the kitchen, where he still had to bring over bowls, chopsticks, and cooked rice.

"Sakaki, is this the chef you mentioned who has excellent cooking skills?" Kikuko looked at Heath with great interest. The rich aroma had whetted Kikuko's appetite, which she didn't have much to begin with. She had to admit that this young man's cooking skills were indeed very good, at least that's how it smelled.

"Yes, Heath's cooking skills are very good." Sakaki nodded, praising Heath, who smiled a little shyly.

Kikuko didn't rush to give her evaluation. Instead, she scooped up a small spoonful of Mapo Tofu, ate it with rice, chewed for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction. The Mapo Tofu made by Heath was indeed very delicious.

Kikuko felt that the best Mapo Tofu she had ever eaten was made by Heath, but it still fell short compared to that one.

You have completed the temporary task and received a bottle of lucky potion.

Heath touched his pocket and found a small bottle inside. However, he didn't open it in front of Sakaki and Kikuko. He took the bottle out after returning to the kitchen. It was a clear liquid, like water.

[Lucky Potion: After taking it, your luck will be at its peak for one hour, but you must be aware of the law of conservation of luck.]

Heath was taken aback. He hadn't expected the task to be settled so soon. He had been wondering why the task hadn't been completed yet. It turned out that the settlement wouldn't be settled until after the guests had eaten. It was quite unique.

"Lucky potion?" Heath pondered. This thing seemed to have some other uses, but the phrase "law of conservation of luck" made Heath wary. Could it mean that after the lucky hour, bad luck would still occur? If so, then the use of this thing really needed to be considered carefully.

The simplest way is naturally to use it to buy lottery tickets and win the first prize or something, but it's hard to say whether the lottery ticket will be lost, damaged, or stolen when you're unlucky, so how to use it is still a question worth discussing.

However, Heath quickly realized the purpose of the potion. After all, there was a guy in Heath's food cart who needed to use the Lucky Potion. Heath hadn't asked the Magic Conch yet, and he wanted to use the Lucky Potion to ask the Magic Conch for information about Mimikyu's trainer.

After all, expecting Hiss's food truck to randomly encounter Mimikyu trainers during its journey is a bit too far-fetched. The Kanto League is quite large with a huge population. To encounter a Mimikyu trainer among so many people is like winning the lottery.

"But after I drink it, will I directly encounter a Mimikyu Trainer?" Hiss asked with some curiosity.

After hesitating for a moment, Heath decided to help Mimikyu. It wasn't right for the little guy to be hanging under Heath's food cart all the time, so it would be nice to be able to help Mimikyu.

With that thought in mind, Heath politely said goodbye to Mr. Sakaki, then returned to his dining car. He took out the Magic Conch Shell, went outside the dining car, and summoned Mimikyu.

Mimikyu cowered tremblingly behind the tire, but it was clear that Mimikyu was no longer very afraid of Heath. Heath chuckled, opened the Lucky Potion, took a sip, and then began her own attempt.

"Miracle Conch, who is the trainer of this Mimikyu in front of me?" Heath asked patiently, looking at Miracle Conch. At that moment, Miracle Conch emitted a rainbow of light. The next second, a point of light emerged from Miracle Conch's shell and then slammed into Heath's head. Heath couldn't help but lean back, and some strange images appeared in his mind.

Heath felt like he was looking at a satellite map. Below him was the Hoenn region. Heath had played Gem & Jewel the most, so he naturally remembered this map. Then the map started to shrink, shrinking to Mossdeep City, then to a street, then to a house with the word "Kate" hanging on the door. Then a man's face appeared in front of Heath, and then the screen disappeared.

However, Heath understood what this meant. The magical conch shell gave him directions: Mimikyu's owner lived in Green Ridge City and was named Kate, which greatly narrowed down Heath's search.

"Mossdeep City..." Heath was a bit annoyed. If Mimikyu's trainer was in the Kanto region, Heath planned to go all the way and take Mimikyu directly to find its trainer. But Mossdeep City was really troublesome.

Heath opened his eyes and found that Mimikyu had somehow appeared beside him, barking anxiously. Heath couldn't help but smile. Was this little guy worried about his safety?

"...It might be a while before you can go see your trainer, Mimikyu." Heath said with a smile, extending his hand. Mimikyu was stunned for a moment after hearing Heath's words. By the time it reacted, Heath's hand was already touching Mimikyu.

It's very soft, like touching a waterbed, with no bone-like feel.

Mimikyu's body trembled violently, but it suppressed its fear of running away. Its trembling gradually subsided, and it quietly stayed by Heath's side.

Chapter 299 An Unexpected Gain

After wasting a little time with Mr. Sakaki, Heath hurriedly drove towards the Psyduck Merchant Guild's venue. Heath wanted to see if there was anything he needed there, or at least buy some local specialties.

"Trainer, Trainer, are we going to the Psyduck Merchant Guild's venue?" Zoroa popped out of Hiss's food truck lounge at some point, excitedly jumping onto Hiss's head and asking happily. Hiss looked helplessly at the excited Zoroa, but still nodded. This time, their destination was indeed the Psyduck Merchant Guild's venue.

The Psyduck Chamber of Commerce's meeting was arranged by the leaders of Evergreen City to be held in one of the busiest department stores in the city center, which was quite stylish. Heath thought that the leaders of Evergreen City probably wanted to get some sponsorship or projects from the Psyduck Chamber of Commerce, which would definitely be a great achievement.

"I thought you'd be engrossed in playing games over there." Heath rolled his eyes. This little guy was always thinking about weird things. He wasn't very enthusiastic about other things, but when it came to something fun, Zorua was definitely the most enthusiastic one, without a doubt.

"Hehe, the Psyduck Trading Company is super powerful. The ugly old man who kidnapped me last time took me there. I bought a super fragrant soap there!" Zoroa's tail swayed back and forth. Heath was a little helpless. What's so great about soap? The Psyduck Trading Company is most famous for its regional specialties. Meanwhile, Heath's phone had already displayed the Psyduck Trading Company's product list, which contained all sorts of strange and wonderful things that made Heath's heart flutter.

Before long, Heath arrived at the bustling Psyduck Merchant Guild venue. Although Evergreen City had provided the Psyduck Merchant Guild with three floors of a department store to display their goods, and the peak opening season had passed, Heath still felt a sense of familiarity when she got out of the car and entered the department store, just like when she was shopping for New Year's goods at a New Year's market in her previous life.

"Are there this many people in Evergreen City?" Heath was somewhat surprised. He rarely saw so many people gathered in Evergreen City. He remembered that the last time so many people gathered was at the concert of Hoenn's top idol, Blue and White.

"Tsk tsk, technology really does change lives." Heath clicked his tongue, then led an excited Zoroya into the department store. As soon as they entered, Heath saw an amazing product.

A dream supercar that looked somewhat similar to the top sports car Venom from his previous life was quietly placed in the mall. Heath couldn't help but click his tongue. This sports car was a limited edition, but it was astonishing that the Psyduck Merchant Guild would put it here.

It seems the Psyduck Merchant Guild is planning to show off its strength, but this dream supercar also has a price tag, a rather terrifying price. Heath glanced at it and then found himself a little dizzy.

However, Zoroia was clearly not interested in this thing. Instead, she excitedly asked Hiss to take her around. Hiss did take a map, though. The first floor of the department store was filled with goods from the Johto League, Hoenn region, and Sinnoh region.

The second floor features the Unova region and the Kalos region, while the third floor features the Alola and Galar regions. The distribution is quite clear. However, there are no products from the Kanto region. But upon closer inspection, this doesn't make much of a difference, since Viridian City is located in Kanto. Rather than offering products that might be available in supermarkets, it would be better to offer some unique products from other regions to attract customers.
