I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Although the main ingredient in curry pork chop rice is curry, if the pork chop itself is particularly flavorful, the rice will taste even better. After that, place the fried pork chop on top of the steaming hot rice from Zhenxin Town, and finally pour a large spoonful of Historic's special curry over it. This completes a delicious and flavorful curry pork chop rice.

"Are you planning to eat here or take it away?" Heath asked Dragonite with a smile. He really hadn't expected that his first customer after arriving in Pallet Town would be Dragonite. This was quite a strange situation.

The most common Pokémon customers are Psychic-type Pokémon, followed by Dragon-type Pokémon. These two types seem to be a bit smarter. As for Pokémon of other types, they rarely come to Seath's restaurant, except for some Fighting-type Pokémon.

"Awoo~" Dragonite cried happily, then took the curry pork cutlet rice that Heath handed over, poured it directly into its mouth, chewed a few times, and then swallowed it.

[You entertained Dragonite, and you received a Speed ​​EV Boosting Potion]

A fairly standard reward.

Heath's lips twitched. This was truly a waste of a good thing. However, it was the guest's business how they preferred to eat it, and Heath couldn't say anything. So, Heath opened his mouth, but then held back.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" Dragonite pointed at Heath's blackboard again. Heath glanced at it and saw that this time Dragonite was pointing at shaved ice. This guy is really amazing.

"Guest, eating something hot and then immediately eating something cold might cause diarrhea. Are you sure?" Heath asked uncertainly, looking at the Dragonite in front of him.

Dragonite immediately nodded. Hiss scratched his head and then called out Snorlax. Making shaved ice required Snorlax. Although Hiss could do it himself, he had given the task of making shaved ice to Snorlax after he decided to give it some work. Snorlax would also secretly use fine snow so that the customers wouldn't notice anything.

"Snorlax, this shaved ice, you should put it like this..." Hiss patiently guided Snorlax to make a shaved ice. Considering the size of Dragonite, Hiss made a large portion of shaved ice this time, which was quite generous, and of course, the price was a bit higher, but Dragonite didn't mind.

Despite its enormous size, Snorlax was quite serious about this task and quickly made a shaved ice following Heath's instructions. Farfetch'd wasn't interested; it had no interest in shaved ice. As for Charmeleon, the little guy only came out briefly when Heath was grilling meat; otherwise, it spent all its time training. Heath always felt that there might be two enormous creatures in her home in the future.

The chubby Snorlax and the muscular Charizard are quite interesting to think about.

"Here's your shaved ice, sir." Heath chuckled as he had Snorlax serve the freshly made shaved ice to Dragonite. It was a huge pot, and quite expensive. Heath had taken all the change he had given Dragonite earlier. Although the ice itself wasn't worth much, the fruit and jam on top were quite valuable.

It took Dragonite a while to finish such a big pot. Heath smiled as he watched Dragonite happily eating shaved ice. He hoped that Pokémon's stomachs were special and that eating something hot and then immediately eating something cold wouldn't cause diarrhea. But this was the world of Pokémon, and Pallet Town at that, so it might have some special attributes, so it probably wouldn't cause diarrhea, right?

I think... right?

However, this time the Dragonite eating shaved ice did not trigger a reward, probably because shaved ice is not considered a formal dish.

After finishing its shaved ice, Dragonite flew away contentedly. It flew very fast. Heath remembered that when he was looking at the Pokémon Pokédex, he had read that Dragonite was a very special Pokémon. Although its wings were not big, it flew very fast. It was said that it could fly around the Earth in just sixteen hours. If calculated according to the equator, Dragonite could fly more than two thousand kilometers per hour. This speed was indeed amazing.

After seeing off the excited Dragonite, Heath's food truck fell silent again. Heath yawned boredly; there were far too few customers today. Pallet Town was such a small place, there really weren't many people. Heath was now only interested in that so-called "ghost market" that night.

"Hello, do you sell food here?" A gentle voice asked. Heath looked up and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle smile on his face. He had a strong scholarly air about him and looked like a refined gentleman.

"Yes, sir, would you like something to eat?" Heath immediately became enthusiastic, realizing that he had misspoken; there were indeed guests in Pallet Town after all.

"Ah, I'd like a serving of this curry beef rice." The man said with a smile. Heath took the money and then smiled as she prepared the meal for the man.

The beef curry was prepared in advance and cooked in two separate pots, one for beef and one for pork. The flavors were slightly different, since beef and pork have different textures. If the curry flavors weren't differentiated, the taste wouldn't be as good.

The man watched calmly as Heath made his thing, and smiled when Heath finished.

"Boss, your cooking skills are excellent." The man smiled gently, but there was something strange about him. Heath looked at the man in front of him with a slightly puzzled expression. In his eyes as a chef, Heath could see that the man's definition of food was very unique.

Preferred flavors: spicy, sweet and sour.

Disliked taste: bitter

Foods that may cause allergies: Sea fish

[Requirements for the food: Top-quality beef, must have ginger, the curry flavor must be very strong, and it's best if the beef is slightly charred.]

This requirement is indeed difficult, but it seems that the chef's eye can define the requirements of the food based on the dishes ordered by the customers, which is quite good. Although it is a bit troublesome for Heath to do, it is not particularly troublesome.

"You flatter me." Heath smiled calmly. The man didn't say anything more, picked up his food, sat down on a chair outside the food cart, and began to eat his curry beef rice.

Chapter 313 A Utter Defeat

The man ate in a strange way. After taking the first bite, his face froze for a moment, then he looked at Heath in surprise before lowering his head and continuing to eat. He ate very slowly, chewing each mouthful of rice for a long time before swallowing it, which seemed rather odd to watch.

However, Heath didn't care. How the guests ate was their business. Over the years, Heath had hosted a large number of guests and was used to each guest having a different way of eating.

Some guests particularly like to smack their lips and make smacking noises while eating. Some guests like to look at their phones while eating, staring intently at their food. Others eat very quietly, giving off a sense of "eating without speaking."

You entertained Lordan, and in return, you obtained the salt of memory.

[Salt of Memory: When added to any dish, it can make the flavor closer to the wonderful taste in the diner's memory]

Heath paused for a moment. The guest's name was quite interesting, but what was most interesting was the reward the guest gave.

Heath had previously noticed that when entertaining some guests, they might give them strange things, and sometimes these things seemed to be related to the guests. For example, when entertaining Karenia, Heath was given various books on psychology and criminology, which was actually an implication that Heath was not a normal girl. However, Heath did not pay much attention to it at the time, so she was tricked once later.

However, the last time Heath entertained someone with something like this from his memories was Musashi. Musashi gave Heath snow from his memories that could fill his stomach, which could be considered a divine artifact. He could still use it once more, but he didn't know if he could find a way to replenish it. And this salt from his memories was even more special.

In his memory, Heath thought this was probably a general term for some items given by the cheat code. No matter how skilled a chef is, it is difficult to make a dish that satisfies the guests completely. It's like for many people who have been away from home for a long time, or for people whose parents have passed away, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't compare to the taste of their mother's cooking in their memory. This is because the food in their memory is idealized. Sometimes when they are away from home, when they eat a home-cooked meal, they have a slightly familiar feeling, and they are immediately overcome with sadness.

Homesickness is often triggered by taste.

However, precisely because of this, it is very difficult for chefs to recreate the delicious food from their memories. After all, chefs do not know the guests' tastes, so it is very difficult to recreate them. Now, Heath has such an opportunity. He can use his chef's eye to see the guests' favorite flavors and then use the salt from his memory to make his food taste even better.

It's a pity that the bag of salt is a bit small. Heath looked at it and saw that the salt given was a bag containing 600 grams, which is actually quite a lot. However, Heath is a chef, and salt is consumed very quickly, so 600 grams is really not much. If it were 600 kilograms, it would be enough for Heath to use as much as he wants.

"Boss, this curry rice you made is really delicious." The man named Lordan stood up and handed the plate he had finished eating to Heath. His expression became even gentler, and his eyes had a gentle, watery quality, which gave people a very strange feeling.

Heath accepted it with a smile, then watched Lordan slowly leave and disappear around the corner of the street.

"This guest is truly unique..." Heath looked at Lordan's retreating figure. Considering Musashi's experiences, Heath felt that the curry beef he had just made might have evoked some memories in the man, which was why he gave Heath this unique bag of salt.

……

"Ada, did you just go out to eat?" Professor Oak looked at the Dragonite standing beside him, smiled and patted its head. The Dragonite named Ada nodded happily. It had found a food truck with really good food, and Ada planned to go there again next time. Anyway, Professor Oak gave Ada more than 8,000 League Coins every month so that Ada could buy things for itself.

"Oh? You mean that chef's cooking skills are amazing?" "Awooo~~ Awooo~~"

"And then you ate a whole bucket of ice?"

Dragonite nodded smugly. Pallet Town was still quite hot. It wasn't affected by the humid weather here. The sun was high in the sky, and the heat was oppressive.

Professor Oak couldn't understand Pokémon, but he had spent a lot of time with Ada, so he could understand some of what Ada meant. So the two of them started chatting.

Just as Professor Oak was about to chat a few more words before going back to his experiment, he noticed that Oak's expression suddenly froze for a moment, then his back straightened up, and he moved towards another location in an odd posture.

Professor Oak blinked. What was wrong?

"Ah, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Professor Oak asked with concern, taking Dragonite's paw. Dragonite had accompanied Professor Oak on his battles and travels, and had some hidden injuries. Professor Oak was very worried about his Pokémon.

"Awooo... Awooo!" Dragonite quickly shook off Professor Oak's hand, then continued walking with a strange expression. It wasn't fast, and you could tell that Dragonite wanted to speed up, but it just couldn't.

"Ah Da? What's wrong with you? Did your knee injury flare up again?" Professor Oak was even more worried. He grabbed Ah Da again, but Ah Da glared at Professor Oak with wide eyes and angrily turned his head to look at him. Then he shook off Professor Oak's hand and tried to walk.

Then Professor Oak grabbed both of its hands.

"Ada, what's wrong with you..." Professor Oak was even more worried. Ada was a proud Dragonite, and sometimes he might not want Professor Oak to worry because of his pride, so he wouldn't tell him that he was feeling unwell.

Dragonite felt uncomfortable; it felt like it needed to fart, but it didn't know if it was a fart or something else...

Dragonite decides to take a gamble.

The next second, Professor Oak noticed that something smelly suddenly shot out from Oolong's tail...

Dragonite's face turned pale.

After a while, Professor Oak looked at Dragonite, who had just come out of the toilet, with a strange expression. He had already cleaned up the things that Professor Oak had sprayed on the ground.

"You have diarrhea? What's wrong? Was there something wrong with the food you ate this afternoon?" Professor Oak's expression wasn't good. In this day and age, who would dare to cheat their Pokémon in Pallet Town?

"Aww..." Ada lowered its head. It had just wished it could fly away overnight and hide in the Galar region. It was too embarrassing!

It seems that eating something hot and then immediately eating something cold will indeed cause diarrhea; that human was right.

Chapter 314 The Dragonite Who Loves Ice

"Huh? Isn't this Professor Oak? What brings you here?" Heath looked at the customers in front of the food truck with some surprise. Heath really didn't expect to see Professor Oak when he was about to close up shop. This was quite a strange sight.

It's worth noting that the location where Heath set up her stall was quite a distance from Professor Oak's lab, and it wasn't exactly close. So Heath had originally thought she wouldn't run into Professor Oak for a few days.

“…It’s Heath.” Professor Oak was also taken aback. He did remember Heath, after all, he had met him once, so it was not like he had no recollection at all. However, Professor Oak admitted that he really did not expect that the chef who caused his father’s diarrhea was Heath.

However, Professor Oak was somewhat surprised that Heath was actually a chef, as he had previously assumed that Heath worked as a chef in a restaurant in Viridian City.

Professor Oak glanced curiously at Heath's food truck. He had heard of it before; it was an experimental product developed by the Silph Corporation. Currently, there was only one Heath, and there were no plans to expand production at the moment. It seemed that they intended to use Heath's food truck to conduct market research.

Professor Oak then told Hiss about Dragonite's diarrhea. Hiss shook his head, both amused and exasperated. He had thought something serious had happened, only to find out that Dragonite just had diarrhea.

"I told Dragonite that eating hot food followed by cold food can easily cause diarrhea, but it didn't care. I really thought Dragonite wouldn't get diarrhea, so I made it a shaved ice." Heath looked at Professor Oak with a mix of amusement and exasperation. This Dragonite was so confident when eating the shaved ice, but he didn't expect it to still get diarrhea.

Fortunately, Professor Oak's lab was working on an important project today, and the researchers weren't there. Otherwise, Dragonite would probably have been hiding for a long time, too afraid to go back to the lab.

"Sigh, that's just how Dragonite is. It's a Dragon-type Pokémon, but it really likes ice. No matter how much I tell it, it won't listen. I just can't do anything about it." Professor Oak sighed. Logically speaking, before the Fairy type was discovered, Dragon and Ice types were considered Dragon-type killers, but Dragonite likes to eat ice. I wonder if it was because the special training was too much.

When Professor Oak was traveling with Dragonite and his other Pokémon, he trained Dragonite to counter Ice-type moves. This is something every powerful trainer does, because at their level, type advantage is not so absolute, and victories against type disadvantages are not uncommon.

But just like boxing, if you want to hit someone, you have to learn to take hits. Only by becoming more resilient can you win in battle. The same applies to training Pokémon.

Dragonite's type makes it a Pokémon that is four times weak to Ice. This weakness is so obvious that Professor Oak wanted to train Dragonite's ability to withstand Ice-type attacks. The training was successful, but unfortunately, Dragonite also developed a liking for eating ice-type things.

"...Ah Oak, he insists on drinking ice water in the lab, and throws a tantrum if he doesn't. He only behaves himself when I'm around." Professor Oak bought a cup of milk tea, then sat on the high stool that Heath had prepared, and complained to Heath with a helpless expression.

Heath chuckled as he wiped the glasses. He felt like the owner of a small bar, facing the complaints and annoyances of his customers, which he found quite amusing.

Moreover, Heath didn't expect that selling milk tea would trigger a reward.

[You entertained Professor Oak, and you received a Pokémon Encyclopedia.]

[Pokémon Encyclopedia: You can search for information on any Pokémon]

"Actually, I quite like drinking ice water. One sip and I feel like my body comes back to life. It's very thirst-quenching." Heath smiled. He did like drinking ice water. It always gave him a feeling that his thirst-quenching ability was enhanced. But after graduating from college, he started to drink hot water as well.

"Young people can drink ice water without any problems, as long as it's not after strenuous exercise. But at my age, drinking ice water can easily damage or burden some of my organs." Dr. Oak was well aware of this, and some of the younger researchers at the institute also liked to drink ice water.

"But let me make this clear first, you can't drink after strenuous exercise. I once went on a long-distance run with a friend, and after we finished, he drank a huge gulp of ice water. I've been sending him flowers every year ever since, for over forty years now." Professor Oak said seriously. Heath nodded quickly. After strenuous exercise, you shouldn't drink ice water, or even room temperature water. It's best to wait until your body has calmed down before drinking.

Heath chatted with Professor Oak for a few more minutes before Professor Oak left. Heath checked the time and packed up his table and chairs. He planned to go back to Officer Jenny's dormitory to prepare dinner for the Officer Jennys. This was a daily task that Heath had to do in Pallet Town. Although there was no reward, Heath was already used to it.

Officers are all very kind to Heath, but some Officers who haven't met her before will ask Heath what it's like living with them, whether she'll feel uncomfortable or something. But overall, the Officers here are very normal. The only abnormal one is Officer Moe, this Barbie muscle loli is really too special.

However, before Heath could close the door of his food cart, a customer arrived. Heath recognized the customer; after all, he had seen him that morning—it was the man named Lordan.

"Boss, are you closing down?" Lordan saw Heath packing up his things.

"Ah... that's how it is... but we're still open. Would you like to eat, sir?" Heath put down the table and chairs, then looked at Lordan with a smile. Business is business, after all.

"Won't this be too much trouble for you?" Lordan asked apologetically. He was quite certain that Heath was planning to leave, and now that he had come out, he felt like he was coming to cause trouble right at the last minute.

“Of course not.” Heath enthusiastically brought out a set of table and chairs. He remembered that Mr. Lordan seemed to prefer eating on a small stool, and probably wouldn’t like a tall stool.

Seeing that Heath had said so, Lordan sat down, then looked at Heath's food cart and hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong, sir?" Heath asked Lordan curiously.
