I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Mr. Lordan is likely to become a regular customer of Heath's. Although Mr. Lordan may come to Heath's for dinner for some other purpose, Heath recalled the way Mr. Lordan shed tears when he used that thing yesterday. It was obvious that he missed someone very much, and it was probably Mr. Lordan's mother.

[You treated Ash to a meal, and you received a Rare Candy (Zorua)]

Heath was stunned for a moment. Goodness, he really didn't expect to be given a Rare Candy. In the game, Rare Candies have the magical ability to instantly level up a Pokémon, but he wondered what kind of amazing abilities they had in the real world.

Heath felt his pocket and then took out a plainly packaged candy that looked nothing special, just like the cheap candies sold on the street.

[Miracle Candy (Zorua): Using this can increase Zoroa's physical attributes to a certain extent.]

Heath pondered. Following this logic, Heath felt that the greatest use of Rare Candy was probably to improve the physical attributes of Pokémon. This was quite practical, since there was no concept of levels in the Pokémon world. The evolution of Pokémon and the improvement of various stats were generally reflected in training and the passage of time.

"Ash, didn't you go to Evergreen City to study yesterday? How did it go?" Heath asked casually, then stuffed the candy back into his pocket.

"It went very smoothly! I even met Mr. Giovanni! But I'm still just a trainee at the gym!" Ash said happily. Hiss raised an eyebrow. Trainee? That's quite a position for Ash's age, since he's still too young to get his own Pokémon.

Speaking of which, the rules and regulations of the alliance are really strange. Children can embark on a journey on their own, but there are almost strict requirements on the age at which they can embark on the journey. If a child goes on a journey before the required age and is discovered, he will be taken to the police station by Officer Jenny and then sent home.

However, it is said that some people have their own ways of dealing with it. Every year, the league reports on several examples of people who have outwitted the league to warn others not to try to provoke the league's rules. But obviously, this is not very effective, and every year children are sent back to their place of residence for this reason.

Then every time the Alliance releases these exemplary videos, someone will turn them into parody videos, making people laugh and cry. It can be said that every year when the Alliance releases these exemplary videos, it is a time of celebration for the parody video creators, and even children can often come up with some very classic remarks.

Officer Jenny: Why did you take your Pokémon on a trip before you were even of legal age?

[Exemplary response: Because I'm not of legal age yet.]

That's absolutely right.

"Heath... Brother Heath?" A somewhat familiar voice. Heath looked up in confusion and saw a cute girl wearing a white dress, a light yellow sun hat, and two flower chains on her wrists, looking at him with surprise.

Heath paused for a moment, then carefully examined the other person and realized that the other person's face looked familiar. If the long, flowing hair was cut shorter, wouldn't that be Karenia from the Quartz Alliance?

"Karenya?" Heath asked uncertainly, but Karenya nodded happily. Heath knew then that it was indeed her.

"Now I'm called Karenia, so Brother Heath, please don't call me by the wrong name again." Karenia said with a smile. Ever since her adoptive parents died in a fire, Karenia has become more cheerful.

However, the shy girl from back then has now grown into a pretty and cute girl. At least looking at her, Heath doesn't think anyone would mistake Karenia for a boy.

But looking at Karenia, Heath's feelings were somewhat complicated. He still remembered how Karenia had tricked him. Although Heath's internship report was not conclusive evidence, it did help Karenia, making her alibi even more impeccable. Heath remembered that up to now, the Quartz Alliance incident had not caused any ripples.

He didn't know if Officer Jenny of the Quartz Alliance had given up investigating clues from Kyrenia. Heath didn't bother to find out; he hadn't asked Officer Jenny.

"Brother Heath, is there anything for breakfast today?" Although Karenia asked this, her eyes were fixed on Ash. Ash, who was of Titanium type, was completely unfazed and was happily eating Heath's stir-fried beef noodles without any shyness.

If Heath were Ash's age, he would probably feel a little embarrassed; people are just different.

"This is it, stir-fried beef noodles, want some?" Heath was silent for a moment, then looked at Karenia in front of him and asked helplessly. This little girl is really a troublesome one.

"Eat!" Karenya said with a smile, her eyes crinkling up like two moons hanging in the sky, which was very beautiful.

Heath nodded, then turned around and began preparing breakfast for Karenia.

Chapter 342 What does "social death" even mean?!

To be honest, Hiss's feelings for Karenia were complicated. It wasn't that Hiss intended to do anything to Karenia, but simply because Karenia had taken advantage of him before, and Hiss hadn't realized it at the time. So he was tricked without even realizing it. Although it didn't have any negative impact on Hiss, the feeling was indeed not good. Hiss felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

Heath felt like he was being manipulated by a clever person, which made him a little unhappy. It's no wonder that clever and cunning villains in many movies are more likely to leave an impression on the audience, since they give people the feeling that everyone else is stupid.

"Brother Heath!" Ash jumped up suddenly. He had finished eating, but now Ash was still holding a cell phone in his hand, and his face was flushed. Heath didn't know what was wrong with Ash for a moment.

However, we can definitely rule out the possibility of Ash being confessed to. Ash is the kind of straight man who can continue traveling even after being kissed on the cheek by a girl. If you expect Ash to understand what confession and feelings mean at his age, you might as well expect him to understand why Charizard has such an absurd ability as Water Absorb.

However, after comparing them, Hiss found that the latter seemed to be easier for Ash to understand, since for Ash, Pokémon was much more interesting than girls.

"What's wrong, Ash?" Hiss handed the stir-fried beef noodles to Karenia, then wiped his hands and looked at Ash with a puzzled expression.

Karenia had no intention of eavesdropping. She carried her stir-fried beef noodles, humming a little tune, and sat down on a chair across the street, keeping a distance from Heath and Ash. Then she swung her legs and ate her stir-fried beef noodles.

Heath glanced at Karenia, who walked over on her own, saving Heath a lot of trouble. After all, sometimes Ash would be too embarrassed to say it if Karenia was around.

Sure enough, after Karenia left, Ash's expression improved slightly. He was less reserved and seemed more energetic, which made Hiss even more curious about what was wrong with Ash.

Ash lowered his head shyly, hesitated for a moment, and then handed his phone to Heath. Heath took it curiously and glanced at it. It was the interface of the Seal Ball communication software, but Ash's Seal Ball communication software was currently filled with a lot of question marks. Heath curiously clicked on it and then discovered that Ash had sent a very provocative picture to many people at the same time. It looked like it would not pass the censorship at all and could even make people die of embarrassment on the spot. There was also a website address attached to it.

Heath paused for a moment, then looked at Ash in surprise. But after seeing Ash's flushed face, Heath realized that Ash probably didn't post this himself.

This world naturally has websites that offer sexy dealers online, but in reality, websites like 3D Dragon have a very low survival rate. The larger ones are legitimate paid websites with strict age requirements for members, which are beyond Xiao Zhi's reach.

The problem is quite simple: Xiao Zhi probably clicked on some website by accident, or accidentally touched something while searching, and his account was hacked.

"Change your password quickly, your account has probably been hacked." Heath said to Ash, who nodded immediately and then started tapping his phone frantically. Heath felt his phone vibrate, took it out and looked at it; it was a picture sent to him by Ash's Seal Ball account.

What's even more outrageous is that Heath discovered that several people who had added him on his Sealball account, which didn't have many contacts, had sent him these kinds of social media images. Heath's lips twitched. He even saw that Professor Oak had sent them, as well as Officer Jenny's.

This is absolutely outrageous. While it's possible for Ash to accidentally click on some dangerous website and get infected with a virus, Professor Oak and Officer Jenny would never have such a situation.

Professor Oak is a Pokémon professor with a high status in the Kanto region. If someone dares to steal Professor Oak's account, they might be targeted by the League's investigators. Officer Jenny isn't like Officer Jenny, who's an experienced Pokémon expert; she's only interested in books she hasn't read before.

Furthermore, Heath remembered that Sister Ling was very security conscious. Whenever she needed to use Seal Ball Communication, she would use QR code login and never enter a password. So how was her account hacked?

Heath stroked his chin. This was truly interesting. Sealball Communications had always touted its high level of security in the industry, claiming that user information was properly protected. Yet, this had happened. Heath wondered how Sealball Communications planned to handle the situation.

"But mine is fine, I don't know why." Heath stroked his chin. His Seal Ball Brassbeard was still the same as always, quiet and still. Apart from the pictures and phishing websites sent to him by those unlucky guys whose accounts were accidentally hacked, Heath's phone did not respond at all.

Driven by curiosity, Heath clicked on the website on his phone and discovered that the incident had become a trending topic, though not very high in the rankings. However, the buzz had already started to grow, with many people tagging the official account of Sealball Communications. Heath also noticed a comment that was generating a lot of buzz.

Dragon-type Pokémon are the strongest! :? @SealballCommunications

The likes, shares, and comments below are at the top of the list. This comment was posted by A-du, but that's not the point. The point is that someone in the comments section said that A-du's account was also hacked, and then those kinds of pictures were sent to everyone and contact groups. He was so angry he died on the spot.

Heath almost burst out laughing. Just thinking about how the serious Wataru would encounter something like this made Heath feel an urge to laugh. After all, Wataru was usually a very serious and earnest person, but he never expected him to be so ridiculous on the spot.

"Luckily, my phone was still on me, and I didn't have anything with me." Heath breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, his phone wasn't one of those things.

But the next second, Heath discovered that right under his nose, his Sealball Communicator had sent social media pictures to all his friends. Before Heath could react, his Sealball Communicator was disconnected, and then this message appeared.

This account has been frozen for allegedly spreading illegal information. Please...

"..."

Chapter 343 Recipes

Heath was speechless. His account had also been hacked. Seeing Ash trying to laugh but holding it back, Heath was even more speechless. He shook his head and flicked Ash's forehead.

"Laugh if you want, but this is probably the Seal Planet's problem, not ours." Heath was speechless. He didn't even remember his phone having any suspicious websites. He was just watching the show, and now he was the one in the show.

Sure enough, next time I encounter something exciting, it's best to stay away, lest I get too close and become part of the excitement, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

Ash walked away happily. It was clear that Ash felt a little better knowing that Hiss had also had his account hacked, just like Ash. Whether it's an adult or a child, everyone needs some noise to cheer themselves up when they're feeling down. Hiss, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much. In his previous life, Hiss's account had been hacked several times. Once, Hiss's account was even completely unrecoverable, leaving him no choice but to abandon his old account and register a new one.

Instead of being hacked, I encountered a time-travel incident. In a way, this could be considered a different kind of hacking.

So Heath changed the password and then left it alone. He felt that for such a big matter, Sealball Communications would definitely have to step up and give everyone an explanation. Whether it was just a perfunctory response or a serious one, that was Sealball's business. But it was impossible to let this matter fade away without any buzz.

After Ash left, only Karenia remained at Hiss's stall. Karenia was eating her stir-fried beef noodles in small bites. From the expression on her face, it was clear that Karenia was quite satisfied with Hiss's stir-fried beef noodles. However, Hiss was also a little curious. Hess remembered that Karenia should have gone to school. Why did she suddenly end up in Pallet Town? The schools in Pallet Town were not as good as those in Viridian City and Pineapple City.

However, Heath still harbored some resentment towards what Karenia had done before. Cooking for guests was no problem, but Heath felt that he was not yet capable of chatting without any inhibitions like before.

So Heath just watched Karenia eat quietly, and after Karenia finished eating, she smiled and brought over her bowl and chopsticks, thanked him politely, and left.

You entertained Karenia, and you received a Smiling Candy.

Heath was taken aback. What kind of strange prop was this? Heath knew that Karenia always gave out strange things when she entertained guests. In the past, it was things like criminal psychology or other oddities, but Heath really didn't expect that this time she would give out something called a smiling candy.

Curious, Heath pulled a small bottle from his pocket. Inside were tiny candies. Heath glanced at it; there were a hundred in the bottle. But what was the use of these?

[Smiling Candy: After taking it, your expression will maintain a perfect, polite smile, and no emotional fluctuations will break this smile, which can last for one hour.]

Heath stroked his chin. The purpose of this thing was really strange. Heath felt that he had never seen such an outrageous prop before. This prop reminded Heath of a country next to China in his previous life. The people in that country believed that you should smile no matter what. Even if they were cursing and in a bad mood a second ago, they would immediately put on a smile when tourists came over to take photos.

"This thing... is a bit strange, but who knows if it will be useful in the future? Let's keep it for now." Heath shook his head and put the bottle of candy away. This thing might be useful in the future, but not now, at least not now. Maybe we can take it out and use it if we encounter any emergencies later.

After Karenya left, Heath's food cart fell completely silent. Heath was happy to have some peace and quiet. He basked in the sun for a while, but soon gave up and moved to a shady spot. Sure enough, the sun was nice, but it was unbearable to be in it all the time, especially in the middle of summer. Heath felt like he was getting sunburned and his skin was peeling off.

"Boss... um? Boss, are you not open for business today?" At noon, Heath met his old customer, Mr. Lordan.

Mr. Lordan was still the same as always, carrying a bag in his hand. Heath figured that the bag must contain the fatty intestines that Mr. Lordan had given him this time.

"Mr. Lordan, I'm so sorry, the restaurant is under renovation today and won't be open until tomorrow." Heath smiled, but he also had a solution in mind for Mr. Lordan, though he needed to understand some details first.

"I see..." Mr. Lordan's face showed a disappointed expression, looking lost and dejected. It was hard to imagine that a grown man would have such an expression.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Lordan.” Heath called out to Lordan, who turned to look at him in confusion, seemingly not understanding why Heath had suddenly called him.

Heath smiled. He had been thinking before why many customers had rather ordinary and general requirements for food. For example, Xiaozhi liked to eat things that were a little sweet, so when Heath made stir-fried beef noodles, he added a little bit of white sugar.

Karenia prefers food with a rich texture, so Heath made the stir-fried beef noodles she wanted, just as Karenia requested. However, Mr. Lordan's requirements for food could be written into a recipe book. To be honest, Heath felt that someone like Mr. Lordan didn't need to come to her restaurant at all, since he already had a recipe book. He could simply follow the recipe to make the food he wanted.

But Mr. Lordan still came to find him, so Heath felt that Mr. Lordan's requirements for food had been materialized into a recipe by the cheat code, a very detailed recipe, but in reality, Mr. Lordan himself did not know how to make it.

"Mr. Lordan, would you like a recipe? With a recipe, you can cook at home yourself." Heath calmly took a sip of the Hypnotic Iced Tea from the Fire Dragon Company. It's said that drinking it gives you the feeling of being kissed by Hypnotic, but Heath didn't feel much of a sensation. He just thought the iced tea was refreshingly cool, and that was all.

"A recipe...?" Mr. Lordan was a little confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't the restaurant owner keep such a delicious recipe to themselves? Why would they give it to him?

“Yes, this recipe is perfect for you.” Heath nodded; in fact, it should be a recipe specifically for you.

Chapter 344 The Troubles of a Small Town

Heath wouldn't stay in Pallet Town for long; she would eventually have to leave. Before leaving, Heath wanted to help the man in front of her with his problem, which was the recipe—a recipe that might have been left by the man's mother.

However, it was clear that Mr. Lordan did not know how to make the intestines that his mother made, so much so that after eating them at Heath's once, he became a loyal customer of Heath's.

Heath had considered expanding and strengthening his business in the intestines industry, but he later abandoned the idea because he realized that not everyone liked intestines, and customer base was a very serious issue.

After all, Heath had already learned that apart from Mr. Lordan and the girl who came to eat later, everyone else in Pallet Town kept their distance from pork intestines. It seemed that people in this world had a special aversion to offal. Heath didn't pay too much attention to it, but occasionally he would regret that he couldn't buy the pork intestines he liked to eat.

If Heath becomes a billionaire in the future and loses his desire for money, he might be able to use some of it to try to promote some of the special delicacies from his previous life in this world. But for now, Heath feels that making more money is more important.

"This is how to make this recipe..." Heath took out the recipe he had written last night. Heath had written it based on the recipe on the man's head. Heath had a good memory and remembered it after seeing it once. After all, the recipe was quite simple to make.

Heath also tried making it according to the recipe, but found that because it wasn't braised, the texture of the intestines was even stranger, and the flavor seemed a bit stronger. Heath felt that she still preferred the braised kind of intestines.

Mr. Lordan carefully took the recipe. Although he didn't know much about cooking, looking at the very detailed recipe, Mr. Lordan still felt a strange sense of security. It seemed that as long as he followed the recipe, he would definitely be able to make the taste he often reminisced about in his dreams.

However, the thought of his mother, whom he had seen yesterday, softened Mr. Rodin's heart. He gently stroked the paper in front of him. Last night, he had wondered if he would dream of his mother again, but he slept soundly without dreaming at all, and unlike before, he did not suffer from insomnia.

Mr. Lordan believed this was because his wishes had been fulfilled to some extent. As for his biggest wish, Mr. Lordan didn't expect it to come true, since such a thing would be extremely difficult even in the world of Pokémon.

Heath handed two recipes to Mr. Lordan, who accepted them, but on the condition that Heath receive a reward as payment for buying the recipes. Seeing Mr. Lordan's resolute expression, Heath had no choice but to accept the reward and put it in his wallet. Mr. Lordan was very generous, offering 5,000 Alliance Coins for each recipe, making 10,000 for both.

Heath wasn't really keen on it, since the recipe was copied from Mr. Lordan's definition of good food. However, Mr. Lordan was adamant, with an air of "I don't want it if you don't take it," so Heath had no choice but to keep the money for the recipe.

"Boss, are you leaving Pallet Town?" Mr. Lordan, having resolved his worries, sat down next to Heath. After what had just happened, Mr. Lordan and Heath had become acquaintances who could chat for a while.
