I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

So Heath could only finish making the dreamy curry noodles first, and only after watching the little guy happily finish the whole bowl of noodles and fly away did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Heath!" A soft voice came from outside, the kind that sounds like a little girl's voice, but Heath shuddered. He knew who it was.

"Um... good morning, Sister Meng..." Heath smiled awkwardly, then peeked at Officer Samantha standing outside the food cart with a forced smile on her face.

"Haha, I heard from Feng that you came to our Zhenxin Town. I didn't expect it to be so soon. Come on, come on, hurry up and park your food cart. We haven't had lunch yet, and we're waiting for your cooking." Officer Samantha hugged Heath with a smile, and Heath felt a little suffocated by her thick arms.

"Ahem... Sister Meng, where is the location?" Heath looked at the strong woman in front of him and took a deep breath.

“Just drive! Wait for me!” Officer Samantha took a deep breath, then bent down, lifted Heath’s food cart, spun it around, put it down again, calmly dusted off her hands, and raised an eyebrow at Heath.

Chapter 309 Tomato and Egg Soup

Heath's lips twitched. Good heavens, she truly lived up to her reputation as a female warrior. She actually lifted Heath's food cart with her bare hands, which gave Heath a bit of a shock. He had to admit that Officer Samantha's muscle strength was probably comparable to Mr. Fujiyama's. Heath was even curious whether Officer Samantha's muscles were developed together with Mr. Fujiyama.

How heavy is this food cart? Heath hadn't weighed it, but it definitely had weight. However, in Officer Jenny's hands, it was like a small toy car. Heath thought that having Officer Jenny in Pallet Town was a very safe thing. Or were all the people in Pallet Town super newbies?

"Sister Meng... there's no need to be so excited..." Hiss was a little helpless, but he still drove forward. Officer Jenny also released her Pokémon, not Arcanine, but Tauros. Hiss felt that there was a reason for this. After all, Arcanine would definitely be under a lot of pressure carrying the muscular Officer Jenny, but Tauros should be fine with Officer Jenny.

“I was really hungry. I heard from Feng that you’re a great cook, so I just came and dragged you back.” Officer Sam said smugly. Heath had no choice but to follow Officer Sam to Officer Sam’s dormitory in Pallet Town. However, Heath admitted that he was a little confused when they arrived.

Because what came into view was a small farm, Heath even saw a Tauros pulling a plow, truly a dreamlike return to the rural era.

Heath planned to ask Jun Sha Meng when she had time if their dormitory had any of those rural dry toilets. Heath had even blown up a toilet with firecrackers during the Lunar New Year before.

"...Sister Meng, is this farm your dormitory?" Heath wasn't quite sure. Although he saw Officer Jenny standing guard at the farm gate, he still found it hard to believe.

"Of course, we also need to be self-sufficient." Jun Shameng still had that loli voice. Speaking of which, Jun Shameng is a typical type whose appearance and voice have a clear contrast. Jun Shameng's loli voice is simply breathtaking. It sounds very nice and soft and cute, but in reality, Jun Shameng is a tomboy.

When Heath first saw Officer Jenny, he was completely taken aback. At first glance, Heath thought Officer Jenny looked like a bodybuilding coach. It wasn't until later, when he learned Officer Jenny's true identity from Sister Feng, that he understood her identity.

“Alright.” Heath resigned himself to his fate. He parked the car in the parking lot and then followed Officer Jenny to the main dining hall. He then began to prepare lunch for the Officer Jennys. The lunch was not difficult to prepare, as it was not very challenging. The only troublesome thing was that Heath had never seen this place before.

"Sister Meng, what kind of rice is this?" Hiss looked at the rice in her hand with a puzzled expression. It was the first time she had ever seen such long and thin rice.

I've seen quite a few in my past life. There's a kind of fragrant rice in Thailand that looks like this. It tastes quite fragrant. There were also many varieties of rice in my past life. Heath still prefers the rice from Northeast China, as it tastes better.

“Oh, this is rice we grew ourselves. It’s a specialty rice from Galar. We really like it, so we grew some ourselves. Now we’ve crossbred it with local rice from Pallet Town, so the variety has changed, but it tastes great.” Officer Sam said proudly. Heath seemed thoughtful, wondering what this rice would taste like. Heath nodded and then began preparing lunch.

Heath had considered using his food analyzer, but considering he needed to save it to check the wild mushrooms that were a specialty of Pallet Town, he gave up on the tempting idea. After all, once rice was cooked, you could basically tell how it tasted by just one bite.

The cooking methods for rice are relatively simple, basically boiling or steaming. However, Heath has heard that some places cook rice by frying, which is quite interesting, but Heath has never tried that way of eating rice.

After hesitating for a moment, Heath decided what he wanted to eat today based on the food in the cafeteria.

"We have both meat and vegetables, so next up is the soup. How about tomato and egg soup?" Heath looked at the ingredients in front of him and instantly decided on the soup he wanted to make today.

There are two ways to make tomato and egg soup. The first one is the simplest, but also the most frustrating. As the name suggests, after boiling the tomatoes, you crack an egg into the soup, stir it, and the whole pot becomes a mixture of tomatoes and eggs. However, you can't actually eat a single piece of egg. The advantage of this method is that it's cheap; you can make a big pot of egg drop soup with just two or three eggs.

However, the taste wasn't very good; the tomato flavor was dominant. Heath was planning to make something different, something his family had taught him.

Heath took out the eggs, cracked about forty into a bowl, stirred them well, sprinkled in a little salt, stirred again, then heated oil in a pan, poured in the egg mixture, and quickly stir-fried it until the eggs were set. After that, she used a spatula to break the eggs into small pieces and set them aside.

Finally, peel and chop the tomatoes. After the water boils, add the tomatoes and the chopped eggs. Add salt and MSG to taste. And there you have it, a delicious tomato and egg soup is ready.

The advantage of this tomato and egg soup is that the eggs are in chunks, making it very satisfying. A spoonful will yield real eggs, not just a few specks of egg. Heath knows Officers' appetites well; if there's too little, they won't be full.

The Alliance places great importance on the meals of the Officers, after all, this family basically monopolizes all law enforcement areas in the entire Alliance. Wherever there are Alliance towns, there are Officers.

Last year's Touching Alliance Person of the Year was Officer Jenny, who worked in a small village until retirement, protecting that village for decades.

Therefore, the League provides very high subsidies to Officer Jenny and the same goes for Miss Joy. However, both families are always very serious and responsible, so the money they give is well worth it.

"It's ready, Sister Meng." Heath clapped her hands; all the food was now prepared.

"Thank you, Heath, I'm starving." Officer Samantha rubbed her stomach, and Heath almost laughed.

"By the way, Sister Meng, where can I set up my food truck?" Heath asked Officer Jenny, this was a crucial question.

"Anything is fine, as long as we don't go to Professor Oak's lab. We don't have that many requirements in Pallet Town." Officer Samantha waved her hand dismissively.

Chapter 310 The Lazy Pallet Town

After getting Officer Jenny's permission, Heath happily drove his food truck out to find a place to set up shop for the day. Generally speaking, the best location to set up a stall in a small town is near the gym, but there is no gym in Pallet Town, so Heath had to choose another route.

Heath ultimately chose a simple Pokémon Center. Unlike in the games, Pallet Town in the real world does have a Pokémon Center, and even Nurse Joy. Heath didn't go in to look, but Nurse Joy saw Heath when she came out to take out the trash.

Surprised, Miss Joey chatted with Heath for a bit, and Heath chatted back with her, gleaning a lot of information.

For example, no one has moved into Pallet Town for a long time. The last time someone moved in was a girl named Crimson.

"A girl?" Heath was completely stunned. He really hadn't expected that Crimson would be a girl. But if she was a girl, then it proved that this world was not the world of the game. After all, the world of the game would never be like this, and it wouldn't even be the world in the anime special episode. In that world, Crimson was a boy, a powerful and taciturn boy.

"Yes, she's a girl. Although she looks a bit boyish, she's definitely a girl." Miss Joey said with a smile as she ate the jianbing (Chinese crepe) that Heath had made.

Nurse Joy's Pokémon Center has few patients and few Pokémon. Most of the trainers in Pallet Town are elderly and only come for their monthly check-ups.

Younger trainers have already embarked on their journeys with their Pokémon, and they often choose to go to Viridian City to treat their Pokémon. There are very few trainers from outside the city, and most of the time they come to see Professor Oak, so Nurse Joy has a lot of free time.

Joey always felt like she was in Pallet Town to retire, even though she was still very young. No wonder many people in her family said that Pallet Town was a peaceful town.

“I’d heard from Ash before that a neighbor had moved in near their house, but I didn’t expect it to be a girl.” Heath smiled. It was probably just a coincidence of names, but that was normal. Heath had encountered a similar situation when he was doing business in the Indigo League.

It was a middle-aged man who came to buy braised chicken rice. It was only when he bought the braised chicken rice that Heath realized that the man was also named Ash. It can only be said that the phenomenon of duplicate names is quite serious in the Pokémon world. After all, the names people choose in this place are too monotonous.

"Ash, Ash is a very good kid. I think he will become an excellent trainer." After eating a pancake, Nurse Joy and Heath became more familiar with each other. Nurse Joy's Pokémon Center is the place that Heath plans to use as his main base when he is in Pallet Town in the future, so it is still necessary to build a good relationship.

“I think so too.” Heath nodded with a smile. Ash’s growth is like a complete story, from being naive and immature to becoming stronger and stronger. It’s just a pity that the time span in the anime seems to be a bit problematic. Ash travels to so many regions and participates in so many events, but his age doesn’t change at all. This makes Heath wonder if Ash is like Conan.

After all, Conan has spent a long time, yet he is still an elementary school student. It seems like a year will never run out, which is quite remarkable.

"Miss Joey, do you know what special ingredients Pallet Town has?" Heath asked curiously, not forgetting his mission.

It's too late today. The market in Pallet Town is already closed. This little town is different from Evergreen City. Even now, the market in Evergreen City is still open, but it's not like that in Pallet Town. It seems that the market closes after a certain time. Heath noticed this when he drove in. Some shops in Pallet Town have very short opening hours.

There was a restaurant that was open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., while a small shop selling daily necessities was open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then closed for the day. This made Heath both laugh and cry.

It has to be said that the pace of life in Pallet Town is very slow. Heath thought that the pace of life in Evergreen City was already slow, but after arriving in Pallet Town, he found that the pace of life here is even slower, to an unbelievable degree.

"Huh? A special ingredient? Then it must be our Pallet Town mushrooms~" Miss Joy paused for a moment, then said confidently. Heath nodded. Luckily it was mushrooms, not Super Rookies, otherwise Heath would have doubted what his cheat system was trying to do.

"Can we buy it?" Heath was a little nervous. Evergreen City's specialty ingredient is Evergreen Fruit, which is said to grant the power of Evergreen after consumption, but it is very difficult to find. On the other hand, the Quartz Alliance's specialty stone is edible quartz, which is easy to buy, but the method of making it is almost lost.

Heath was very worried that Pallet Town would be in the same situation.

“Of course you can. It’s summer now, so you can buy them easily. But you can only buy them at the night market. If you’re interested, you can go to the market after 11 p.m.,” Miss Joey said with a smile. Heath winked.

He wondered if he had misheard. What had he heard? A ghost market?

Although the name sounds impressive, it's actually just an evening market, so Heath still plans to go to that ghost market that night to buy the ingredients he needs.

After saying goodbye to Nurse Joy, who was going back to the Pokémon Center to read, Heath returned to her food truck. Because Pallet Town was too small, Heath didn't ask Farfetch'd to make crab roe soup dumplings today.

"The sun in Pallet Town is a bit too strong... Snorlax!" Heath looked at the sunlight outside the food truck. Hot weather was a good thing, at least for Heath. Heath planned to launch shaved ice, which should bring in some money.

"Eh? Brother Heath?" A familiar voice called out. Heath looked up and saw Ash standing in front of Heath's food cart, looking shocked, even though Ash wasn't wearing his hat yet. Heath smiled. He was wondering if he should go look for Ash, but he didn't expect to run into him so soon.

"Good afternoon, Ash. Would you like something to eat?" Hiss asked with a smile, and Ash's surprise turned into delight.

Chapter 311 Guests Who Came to Dine

"Brother Heath? What brings you here!" Ash looked at Heath in surprise. He really didn't expect to see Heath in this place. After all, Heath usually stayed in Viridian City for four whole years.

Although there is a special bus from Pallet Town to Viridian City, it is still too troublesome to go there to eat every time. So Ash can only go there to mooch off his parents when they go to Viridian City on business.

So Ash really didn't expect to see Heath in this place.

"Of course I'm traveling! I'm a bit older than you, and I plan to wander around the Kanto region to see if I can find any unique ingredients or something." Seeing Ash made Heath feel much better. Ash isn't the hot-blooded boy he will be in the future yet, but he'll be soon. Once Ash takes Pikachu and embarks on his journey, Ash's future will continue, and the familiar storylines in this world will begin to unfold, right? Thinking about this, Heath felt a little sentimental.

However, Heath was also curious: what would happen to Ash's future if Heath gave Ash a Charmander when Ash went to get his starter Pokémon?

Will Ash and Pikachu's pairing change then? Or something else entirely?

But Heath wasn't doing this out of boredom or when he was full. Besides, keeping the future under his control was much better than letting it spiral out of control. At least the storylines that Heath knew would still unfold as planned, Musashi would still team up with Kojiro and become teammates, along with that cat.

"Traveling..." Ash looked at Hiss with envy. He also wanted to travel, but his mother said that Ash was not old enough, which disappointed Ash a little. People who are not old enough cannot have their own Pokémon. To satisfy his craving, Ash could only participate in activities that cared for young Pokémon or visit lonely Pokémon.

Such activities are not common in Pallet Town, but Professor Oak has a good impression of Ash, so he will occasionally ask Ash to come to his lab to help out. Ash always goes over eagerly. So why is it that out of so many trainers coming out of Pallet Town every year, only Ash has obtained the Pokédex? This is not because of the protagonist's privilege, but because Ash has left a very good impression on Professor Oak.

"You can travel too in the future. Would you like something to eat? Today we're featuring curry beef and curry pork chops." Heath smiled at Ash. Ash's future was indeed full of hardships, but before Ash grew up, although there would be some ups and downs in the world, it would be safe most of the time.

But when Ash Ketchum embarked on his journey in the future, wow, all sorts of problems arose. He truly is the chosen one.

However, Heath always felt that the power of the legendary Pokémon was weakened in the anime, and their world-destroying power was not fully displayed. Of course, this was also because the animation team wanted Ash, a super rookie, to appear more normal.

"Curry? I want to eat it... Hmm... But I ate my mom's cooking for lunch, and my stomach is so full." Ash's face was full of joy, but it quickly turned into bitterness. Heath almost laughed. Seeing delicious food but not being able to eat it because you're too full is truly a sad thing.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'll be staying in Pallet Town for a while, and my stall will be right here every day." Heath smiled. Come to think of it, he hadn't triggered any achievements on his trip from Evergreen City to Pallet Town, and he didn't know when the next upgrade for his food truck would be. Heath really wanted to be able to serve customers directly in the food truck's restaurant in the future. Anyway, with the all-powerful Silph Corporation to take the blame, Heath could do whatever he wanted.

"Hmm! By the way, Brother Heath, is this your first time in Pallet Town? Do you want me to show you around?" Ash looked at Heath happily, but Heath keenly noticed that this guy's eyes were fixed on the Farfetch'd next to Heath. It seems that he really had ulterior motives.

Heath smiled and shook his head. He planned to check the foot traffic in Pallet Town to decide how much food to buy each day. Otherwise, buying too much food and having it not fresh would be a problem.

These are still very important for a chef, since market research is always necessary when going to a new place. However, Heath felt that it was unnecessary to hire a market research company for a place like Pallet Town; observing for a day or two would suffice.

Ash was clearly disappointed, but he was still well-behaved and sensible. He didn't do anything like "If you don't agree, I'll cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten suicide." Heath felt that Ash wasn't like a brat; on the contrary, he was a little too mature.

"Ash, where are you going?" Hiss looked at Ash curiously. It should still be time to go to Pokémon School. Could Ash be skipping class?

"My teacher asked me to come to the Pokémon Center to get some healing medicine so we can all take a look at it." Ash immediately revealed his purpose. Then, Ash paused for a moment, muttered "Oh no!" and quickly said goodbye to Hiss before rushing into the Pokémon Center.

Ash was momentarily distracted by Hiss, which made him forget what he was supposed to do, but now he has remembered.

Heath watched with a wry smile as the flustered Ash hurriedly left, leaving him with some free time. There were hardly any customers, probably because it was just past lunchtime. Heath thought that if there weren't any customers in the afternoon, he would need to adjust his stall hours.

A deep roar jolted Heath awake from his nap. There hadn't been any guests for a long time, and Heath hadn't even realized when he'd dozed off.

"Welcome...this guest, what would you like to eat?" Heath looked up and immediately put on a standard business smile, but after seeing the guest's face clearly, Heath paused for a moment, but still said what needed to be said.

The guest stretched out his orange hand, and the three claws touched the words Heath had hung on the blackboard outside. Heath glanced at it and saw that it was curry pork chop rice.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Heath smiled and began preparing the food that the Dragonite wanted to eat. The Dragonite also very sensibly took out 100 League Coins and handed them to Heath, asking Heath to give it change.

Heath was quite calm. She had already dealt with the legendary Pokémon; it was just a Dragonite, nothing serious. Besides, this was Pallet Town, a town with Dragonite trainers...

It must be Professor Oak, right? Professor Oak's Dragonite, it's normal for it to buy food.

Chapter 312 Eating Hot and Eating Cold

Curry pork chop rice, although it is called curry pork chop rice, the pork chop is actually processed separately later. Heath also does it this way. His pork chop is made later. The selected pork is cut a few times and then marinated for a while. Here, a pressure cooker from Dialluca is needed because it can speed up the time and make the marinade more flavorful.
