I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

……

A Poké Ball?

Heath looked at the object in his hand with a blank expression. It was indeed a Poké Ball, and a very plain one at that. The white Poké Ball had no color or pattern on it. If Heath had to say something, he felt that the only thing that was somewhat noticeable was the button in the middle.

If he had to put it into words, Heath thought this Poké Ball was probably just a regular Poké Ball without all the colors, somewhat like a souvenir ball.

What puzzled Hiss was why Professor Oak would give him a Poké Ball. Hiss had expected Professor Oak to give him something like a Rotom Pokédex or a newly developed Pokédex, but instead it was just a Poké Ball?

"This is a project that Silph Corporation and I have been developing recently. It's still in the experimental stage, but according to the current experimental results, this Poké Ball has greatly improved the Pokémon capture rate, to about 50%." Professor Oak said with a smile. Heath was a little surprised. If the probability increased to 100%, wouldn't that be a Master Ball?

The Master Ball is a legendary ball in the games. In the early games, you could only get one per game. It has the amazing ability to catch any Pokémon as long as you throw a Master Ball, except for Pokémon that already have an owner, or extremely special Pokémon that cannot be caught with a Master Ball due to the story.

However, there is a very interesting setting here. According to the Pokémon games, the Master Ball is a magical Poké Ball developed by Silph Corporation. However, because of the development of this Master Ball, Silph Corporation was attacked by Team Rocket. After that, the boss of Silph Corporation said that he would never develop any other Master Balls again.

However, in later generations, players can still obtain Master Balls during the game. For example, in the Gem & Color generation, players can obtain Master Balls when attacking the Team Aqua base, and they are placed in very ordinary locations. Although there are teleportation arrays, it is not difficult to find them if you look carefully.

It existed in every subsequent generation, so whether the Rockets obtained the Master Ball development report or the Shiluff Company ultimately succumbed to the lure of huge profits is something Histie doesn't know.

However, regardless of anything else, the Master Ball can be said to be a very magical existence in the Pokémon world. Although this ball does not yet have a 100% catch rate, even if it only has a 50% catch rate, it is still a very good number compared to ordinary Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

Furthermore, Heath hadn't expected that Professor Oak was also involved in the development of the Master Ball. However, Professor Oak didn't become Team Rocket's target. As expected, Giovanni was very measured in his actions. After all, compared to Silph Company, which hired some bodyguards but could still plant traitors, Professor Oak, an old man with championship-level skills, was still very troublesome.

"Although the catch rate of this ball is very high, it's best for the trainer and the Pokémon to establish a bond before catching it. This way, even a regular Poké Ball can achieve the effect of catching it on the first try..." Professor Oak talked on and on, while Hiss listened with a smile.

Heath felt that Professor Oak was like his grandfather from a past life; old people tend to be talkative, and Heath had gotten used to it.

This Poké Ball might be good for an average trainer, but it's useless to Seath. Seath doesn't have any Pokémon he wants to catch at the moment, and even knowing that this Pokémon named Marshadow is a Mythical Pokémon similar to Mew, Seath isn't particularly bothered.

So what if it's a Mythical Pokémon? In his previous life, Seath caught countless Legendary Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon could be caught in every version. Those rare Mythical Pokémon were just freebies given out by the game company during promotional events.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Seath is very indifferent to Pokémon. Whether the Pokémon is an ordinary Rattata or a Palkia or Dialga, which is high and mighty and possesses supreme power, Seath treats them all the same.

For Heath, he never decides to catch a Pokémon; it's just a matter of catching his eye and whether he likes it or not. Heath doesn't really like Marshadow, and for Ghost-type Pokémon, he thinks Mimikyu and Gengar are good choices.

If she had to choose between the two, Heath felt she would still choose Mimikyu, provided that the little guy under the car was willing to follow her. However, Heath had promised Mimikyu that she would take it to its trainer, and she had to keep that promise.

Heath is not one to make promises lightly, but once he does, he is determined to keep them.

"To talk about the creation of Poké Balls, we need to start with the composition of spatial power. But to talk about spatial power, we really need to talk about the book 'Basic Lectures on Spatial Science'..." Professor Oak became interested, and Heath's mouth started to twitch. However, looking at the white-haired but energetic Professor Oak, Heath listened silently.

Upon hearing this, Heath learned the opening time of the Ghost Market. Professor Oak then reluctantly left with Marshadow, who had been controlled by Dragonite, and Heath was finally freed.

Heath breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew Professor Oak was a chatterbox, he didn't expect him to go on for so long. In fact, it was Heath's own fault. If he had known, he would have interrupted him and asked about a linear equation in two variables, so that Professor Oak would lose interest in chatting.

“Miss Joey, then I…” Heath looked at Miss Joey, who was at the consultation table, and was about to greet her.

However, he found that Miss Joy didn't react at all. Heath curiously leaned over to take a look and discovered that Miss Joy had a small, delicate earplug in her ear. Heath's lips twitched. It turned out that he was the only victim just now. Miss Joy had already noticed Professor Oak's good mood and had prepared a countermeasure in advance.

Heath left the Pokémon Center. His Zoroar on his head had fallen asleep after being nagged by Professor Oak. Heath put Zoroar back into his Poké Ball and then drove his food truck to the night market in Pallet Town, where he wanted to buy some local specialties.

However, Heath was clearly lucky. She quickly bought the local specialties she wanted, along with some other ingredients and seasonings. Satisfied, Heath left the night market and returned to the quiet Officer Jenny's Farm. She yawned, knowing it was almost time to go to sleep.

Chapter 332 Difficulties and Methods for Completing the Mission

That night, Heath had a nightmare for the first time in a long time. In the dream, he was buried alive in the ground and felt extremely difficult to breathe, which made Heath feel desperate. When Heath opened his eyes, he was gasping for breath.

Even so, Heath still felt some difficulty breathing, as if something was stuck in his chest. This feeling was very uncomfortable, and Heath didn't know why, but it was definitely very unpleasant.

If a dream is too real, then the first thing you feel when you wake up is that you can't distinguish between reality and dream for a while. That's what Heath is feeling right now.

Heath had smacked his lips earlier, thinking that it would be even better if this dream wasn't a nightmare, but some kind of extraordinary dream.

But as soon as Heath opened his eyes, he knew why he couldn't breathe in his dream. It was because little Zoroya was sleeping on Heath's chest, and that's where the feeling of tightness in his chest and inability to breathe came from.

This reminded Heath of his past life when he would sometimes feel discomfort in his chest while sleeping at home because he had a cat. He later discovered that it was caused by the cat sleeping on his chest at night. This made Heath wonder if the cat wanted to kill him as soon as possible so that it could gain merit and return to Cat Planet to enjoy its life.

"You little rascal..." Heath looked at Zoroya with a mix of amusement and exasperation, then grabbed Zoroya by the neck and stood up. Zoroya looked sleepy, clearly still very tired. Heath had no idea how the little guy had managed to escape from the Poké Ball; it was truly a strange thing.

However, Sheath isn't the kind of trainer who's strict with Pokémon. As long as the Pokémon are happy, she wouldn't mind if they kept popping out of their Poké Balls on their own every day.

"Get up." Heath grabbed Zoroah by the neck, yawned, and stood up. Farfetch'd woke up at the same time and was taking care of its green onion.

Farfetch'd is very protective of its leeks. Heath thinks it's like those generals of ancient times who cherish their armor and weapons. However, Farfetch'd's method of caring for its leeks is a bit special: it kisses the leeks a few times and then wipes them with its feathers. Heath was stunned, but thinking about it carefully, Farfetch'd is a bird after all. Like the bird's nest in his previous life, wasn't it made with swallows' saliva?

So what seems like a strange maintenance method to humans is perfectly normal for these Pokémon.

Heath didn't pay much attention. He grabbed Zorua by the neck and walked out. Then he saw Charmeleon standing in the living room, its arms crossed and occasionally letting out a few roars. Heath was a little curious, and then he realized that Charmeleon was instructing Mew on how to jump rope.

Yes, jump rope.

When Heath saw Mew holding the jump rope handles and swinging them around, jumping around like a fool, he was stunned. He had never seen this scene before. After all, Mew had been training with Charmeleon before, but it was more like playing around. Now, it looked like a naughty kid studying hard.

"Good morning, let's go wash up." Heath yawned. He didn't care anymore. Mew was the type of Pokémon that did whatever it wanted, whenever it felt like it, and it was also very curious. Heath thought that Mew couldn't last long. He guessed that it would only last a day or two at most before giving up.

It's like when you're in school, you make a solemn vow that you will attend class attentively every day, do your homework diligently after class, review your lessons, and study in the library on weekends. But after burning that vow for three days, you find that lying in bed is still the most comfortable place to be.

After washing up with his Pokémon and Mew, Heath opened the door, went to the cockpit, set up the autopilot, and began to deal with the missing light.

Heath plans to complete this task today. The task is not very difficult. Heath only needs to take out a few Sunflowers and make them. After all, at the price of 1,000 Alliance Coins per Sunflower, three Sunflowers will be enough for Heath to complete the task. However, the difficulty of this task is not in the selection of ingredients.

Rather, it is the guests who pose the main challenge of this task.

Pallet Town is a small town, which is very important. Just look at that Miracle Dream Restaurant from yesterday. Its strict membership system made the restaurant almost deserted. However, the local news in Pallet Town did give it a shout-out, saying that the restaurant had just opened and already had ten people sign up for memberships, showing great promise for the future. Heath almost died laughing when she saw that.

Heath felt that these ten people were probably the most willing to spend money and accept high consumption in Pallet Town. It would be a matter of careful consideration for other guests to spend so much money on a meal all at once.

Although Heath's pricing wasn't that outrageous, and the ingredients used were Pallet New Town's traditional specialty, Spotted Mushroom, which the people of Pallet New Town also knew about, Heath's price of over three thousand became less unacceptable. But the question is, what do people who eat at roadside stalls generally look for? They look for value for money, for cheap prices. If the taste can also be better on top of being cheap, that would be even better.

After summarizing the customers who had come to his dining car over the past two days, Heath found that there were probably only a few of them who would actually pay for the "Jianguangmei" (a type of snack), since they could buy it themselves at a cheaper price.

Therefore, Heath needs some other methods to achieve his goal.

Promotions were the solution Heath came up with, much like the various Valentine's Days in his previous life: Valentine's Day, White Day, May 20th, and even Qixi Festival. Heath felt that if these businesses could, they would wish every day were Valentine's Day.

Although Pallet New Town's traditional festivals have nothing to do with Valentine's Day, and according to Heath's understanding, the most recent traditional festival in Pallet New Town is the Harvest Festival, a festival to pray for a bountiful harvest this year.

However, Heath doesn't intend to achieve his goal through holiday promotions. Heath plans to hire a spokesperson, but this spokesperson needs to be more special, preferably the kind that can make everyone feel happy, excited, and willing to spend money.

So the question is, which spokesperson did Heath choose?

Thinking of this, Heath couldn't help but look at Dream. What could be more attractive than Dream?

Chapter 333 The Guest's Choice

Although Mew and Marshadow are both Mythical Pokémon, it doesn't mean they are truly equal in status. In fact, in the Kanto region, Mew is far more popular than Marshadow. This comparison is like comparing a popular foreign singer to a popular Chinese singer in a previous life; in China, the popular Chinese singer would definitely have a higher popularity rating.

People tend to pay more attention to those born in the same year as themselves. Foreign celebrities, unless they are superstars or top-tier stars, are rarely known. Even the top stars cannot compare to the top stars in China.

The same goes for Mew. Countless trainers and children in the Kanto region grew up listening to the legends of Mew. There are also many Mew brands in the Kanto region, such as Mew sports cars, Mew restaurants, Mew sanitary napkins, etc. It can be seen how popular Mew is in the Kanto region. Fortunately, Mew is a Pokémon and does not have copyright awareness, otherwise, they could all ask these businesses for a portrait rights usage fee and achieve rapid poverty alleviation and wealth.

Even in some other regions, Dream is very popular.

Not to mention that in the future, there is also a superhero who is still obsessed with Dream, but he never manages to meet Dream again.

The probability of Mew appearing is very low, and the probability of witnessing it is even lower. So now, in some forums in the Kanto region, the photos of Mew are just the same few over and over again. People who don't know the situation might think that the forum is constantly going through a cycle, because those old photos of Mew are taken out and posted again and again, just like a cycle.

So if Heath could get Dream to help her, for example, by ordering a limited edition "See the Light" package, which would allow her to enjoy a delicious meal and meet or take a photo with Dream, then Heath felt that the reservation for this luxury package could be booked years in advance.

However, whether Mew will help itself is also a question. After all, Mew is a Pokémon, and one that does whatever it wants without any human concepts of good and evil.

When Heath looked at Mew, Mew was arm wrestling with Charmeleon. Unsurprisingly, Charmeleon lost. Although Heath had seen Charmeleon's hands covered in psychic light, Heath didn't say anything because Charmeleon looked happy.

This little guy, Dream, even needs superpowers to play arm wrestling, that's something else.

"Mew, would you do me a favor?" Heath asked, looking at Mew. Mew was very intelligent and could understand human language, so communicating wouldn't be difficult for it, since it was a Psychic-type Pokémon. It's just that Mew often disdained speaking human language.

It's strange, really. Zorua is a Dark-type Pokémon, but it has excellent human language skills, or rather, a kind of telepathic ability. I don't know how it does it.

Dream tilted her head and looked at Heath, as if waiting for Heath to continue.

"It's like this..." Heath briefly explained his plan to Mew, which was to have Mew take a photo with a human designated by Heath. They didn't need to get close; Mew could simply appear in the dining car or in the woods.

Of course, if Dream is willing to get close to others, Heath doesn't mind.

Dream hesitated for a moment, then immediately extended a finger, followed by a pleasant voice that entered Heath's mind.

“Once.” The words were concise and carried a neutral tone. Heath was somewhat surprised that Mew had actually spoken. Heath had always thought that Mew didn’t intend to use telepathy, but it had to be said that telepathy also had to be differentiated.

Zorroia's telepathic communication ability is like an artificial voice, but Mew's telepathic communication is richer in emotion. Hiss even felt like he was communicating with a human. However, after receiving permission, Hiss was still happy. It was really a good thing that Mew could help. Hiss's plan could be carried out smoothly. Let alone three thousand Alliance Coins, even if Hiss sold it for ten thousand Alliance Coins, there would probably be plenty of people willing to pay.

If possible, Heath could even contact the Dream Fan Association and sell the qualification, which Heath was confident he could fetch a high price.

However, Hiss hesitated for a moment. Mew is very rare, but precisely because of this, it seems that the qualifications for this group photo need to be strictly selected. There are dark organizations in the Kanto League. In addition to Team Rocket, which is currently the leader of the dark organizations, there are other dark organizations of all kinds. If it really gets out, it is hard to say what will happen.

Even Giovanni would probably be tempted, after all, this is a great opportunity to get close to Mew. For top trainers, this distance is enough to accomplish a lot.

Heath silently took out his phone. He thought of an acquaintance. In Pallet Town, if we're talking about top-tier billionaires, Heath felt that there was no one else besides this person.

After sending a message, a while later, Hiss's car was intercepted. Hiss then saw Professor Oak standing in front of him, wearing pajamas and lying on Dragonite. It was clear that Professor Oak was in a great hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have flown over without even changing his clothes.

"Professor Oak... Good morning." Hiss's lips twitched. He thought Professor Oak probably hadn't gotten up yet, but he didn't expect Professor Oak to fly over directly. Hiss suspected that if the situation were more urgent, Professor Oak would probably want to have Dragonite carry his bed over.

"Mew!...Where is Mew?" Professor Oak asked anxiously. Heath pointed behind him, and Mew cautiously hid behind the food cart, secretly spying on Professor Oak.

Professor Oak immediately fell silent, staring intently at Mew, as if trying to study it thoroughly from his sight.

"Professor Oak, do you want to buy it?" Heath asked Professor Oak. Heath thought Professor Oak was the most suitable customer. After all, he was a very good person and also had money. With such a large research institute and the starter Pokémon that Professor Oak had bred, Professor Oak was definitely one of the top richest people in Pallet Town.

"Buy it!" Professor Oak pulled out 10,000 League Coins without hesitation and handed them to Hiss. Then, he eagerly climbed off Dragonite and rushed over with a look of excitement. Hiss looked at him and wanted to laugh. Professor Oak really was an impatient person.

However, the mission could be completed, and Heath's mood improved. Heath had already thought about this upgrade.

Chapter 334 Rewards!

Heath chuckled and served Professor Oak a plate of steaming hot food, while Professor Oak looked at the photo in his hand with great appreciation. The photo was a picture of Professor Oak and Mew, but calling it a picture was really just a way of saying that Professor Oak accidentally captured Mew's image while taking a 'selfie'.

Mew didn't stay obediently next to Professor Oak for the photo shoot. This was at Professor Oak's request. After all, if Mew and Professor Oak got too close, people might wonder what was going on, since Mew is a very timid and highly vigilant Pokémon.

While Professor Oak isn't worried about being targeted by members of any dark organization, he is concerned about being targeted by some of his old colleagues, such as Professor Birch from the Hoenn region or Elite Four member Akiko from the Kanto region. If these people, with whom he has a relationship or who are simply research fanatics, find out, Professor Oak feels that his research lab won't be quiet for a long time.

However, given the ridiculously low probability of witnessing such a dreamlike creature, this novel photograph can be considered the only new photograph taken in recent years.

"Professor Oak, here's your stir-fried 'Crispy Meat' dish. Please enjoy." Heath smiled at Professor Oak. All that was left was for Professor Oak to finish the dish, and then Heath's task would be complete.

Heath had already decided on the upgrade location. He planned to upgrade the dining area and see what strange and wonderful things would be unlocked after the upgrade. These things were very important to Heath. If there was a dining area, then Heath could entertain guests even when the weather was bad.

Otherwise, with this small food truck, Heath wouldn't be able to entertain guests when the weather is bad. He would just have to stay in the truck and study recipes. Moreover, there are some places in the Pokémon world with very bad geographical conditions. In those places, a dining area is even more necessary. For example, Mt. Chimney in the Hoenn region, some areas are shrouded in volcanic ash all day long.

If there wasn't a dining area, Heath felt he probably wouldn't go there, since the food trucks wouldn't be able to serve the food, and the volcanic ash would be falling down before the guests could even take a couple of bites.

Not to mention desert regions or extremely cold regions.
