Looking at the Gardevoir in front of him, and thinking of the girl from before, Hiss was momentarily speechless. He really hadn't expected to meet the future Champion, Karen, here. And this Gardevoir, if he wasn't mistaken, should be Karen's Champion Gardevoir, and a Gardevoir capable of Mega Evolution at that, so its strength was certainly not to be underestimated. However, looking at Gardevoir's current state, Hiss didn't see any trace of the Key Stone on it. Hiss guessed that Karen probably hadn't obtained this item, which would be crucial for her in the future, yet.
After all, everything in this world hasn't officially entered the storylines that Heath is most familiar with yet. Cynthia has just become the champion, while Karune doesn't seem to have become the champion yet, and it's unknown when that will happen.
Heath patted his backside and sat up on the beach. The sea had already washed away the filth he had just vomited up, and the entire sandbar looked the same as before, unchanged. Heath also saw what looked like a cave behind him, but it was probably still a short distance from where he was now. Heath had a feeling that if he was talking about caves near Green Ridge City, the only one that came to mind was Shallow Cave. The places that could be explored inside changed over time, making it a very ingeniously designed place.
Heath remembered that some rare items could be found inside, but he wondered what the cave looked like in the real world.
"Gardevoir, can you take me back? I think your trainer is looking for you right now." Heath looked around. There weren't many people on the beach, and there were quite a few rocks around. Heath thought that this might be an undeveloped beach. Mossdeep City's tourism industry is quite developed, and Golden Beach is their main selling point. However, there is also a large area of beach that has been designated as a protected area by the League, and no one is allowed to enter.
Heath felt like she was standing in this area, but fortunately, she didn't come here on her own; she was brought in by a Pokémon teleportation, so it didn't involve any illegal activity.
"Of course I can, but if I take you back, your head will still be spinning. Can you handle that?" Gardevoir became much more serious. It has to be said that Gardevoir is a very charming Pokémon. When Hiss saw the Gardevoir in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his past life. Whenever there was a version with Gardevoir, Hiss would raise one as his main battle Pokémon. Later on, with the help of recovery items and meditation, it was easy to sweep the team.
As Heath pondered this, he inexplicably remembered Zorua, and that special novel Zorua had once mentioned—what was it called again? Gardevoir with a large root?
Heath shook his head violently, feeling that he might have been corrupted by Zorua; the guy's ability to corrupt minds was too strong.
Hearing Gardevoir's words, Hiss's lips twitched. The feeling he had just experienced was simply too unbearable. Hiss said he couldn't accept that terrible dizziness at all. Hiss looked at the cliff behind him, and he could vaguely see the railings above. It seemed that this place was not far from the city center of Mossdeep. If Hiss walked up, he could take a taxi back by himself. Hiss would rather take a car back than be teleported back.
Although the ride was expensive, at least Hiss didn't feel that intense dizziness, which was absolutely awful. No wonder the League always advised against teleporting with Psychic Pokémon; not every Psychic Pokémon can directly help a trainer's head return to normal like Gardevoir.
"Then forget it..." Hiss rejected Gardevoir's suggestion. Although Gardevoir could help Hiss get rid of the dizziness, the intense dizziness was still very uncomfortable.
Just as Heath was about to walk from the beach to find a place to go back, Gardevoir suddenly blocked his way, looking warily at the sea ahead. Heath was stunned for a moment, but the next second, he saw a huge creature swim past him on the sea ahead.
The opponent was enormous, its black shadow terrifying to behold. Was it tens of meters? Or hundreds of meters? Heath didn't know, but a strong sense of fear gripped Heath's heart. Especially when the opponent slightly rose to the surface, Heath saw a giant eyeball. That eyeball glanced at Heath and Gardevoir, then sank back down, creating a huge wave.
The waves were nearly five or six meters high, surging towards Heath with tremendous force, and Heath felt as if all he could see was the azure blue of the sea.
The next second, Heath was grabbed by Gardevoir, followed by a strong feeling of dizziness. When Heath regained consciousness, the dizziness subsided quickly, but even so, the feeling of nausea was still there. This time, the dizziness did not seem to be completely gone, but there was still a lingering feeling. Heath suppressed the nausea in his heart and looked around. He returned to his dining car once again.
"What was that just now?!" Heath didn't care about anything else; his mind was filled with that enormous figure. The feeling was so intense that even someone like Heath who didn't usually have any phobias was almost giving him thalassophobia. That behemoth, even just passing by in front of Heath, was terrifying enough.
“Waillord.” Gardevoir simply said, transmitting an image to Hiss’s brain—a giant image of Wailord, with a small yellow sand pit next to it and two black dots on it.
Heath swallowed hard. Something was definitely wrong with that Wailord. Heath had seen Wailord before; it was large, but it couldn't possibly be this big...
Heath suddenly remembered a plot point. He remembered that Ash had once solved a case of a giant Tentacruel attacking a city, and the giant Tentacruel back then had a similar feel to that. When Heath watched the anime, he wondered if the production team had drawn inspiration from Godzilla, but he never expected that it would eventually come down to environmental protection.
As for this Wailord, unless an Eternatus appears in the Hoenn region and Wailord happens to Dynamax, Hiss thinks that this Wailord is either a natural prodigy or has simply mutated, just like that Tentacruel.
Chapter 366 Karuni
"Gardevoir!" A furious voice rang out. Before Gardevoir in front of Hiss could react or make any move, it was hit by a Poké Ball and absorbed into it. Meanwhile, Karune, dressed in casual clothes, stormed in. Hiss looked at Karune, who wasn't wearing her usual white outfit. Hiss thought it might be because they weren't in the Kalos region.
However, it must be said that Karni has quite a knack for becoming a big star in the Carlos region. Karni doesn't look like much in the anime, but when Heath actually met Karni, he was quite amazed because he found that Karni looked somewhat like Audrey Hepburn from her previous life. Although not exactly the same, she was still very beautiful, and her temperament was very upright, which gave people a very amazing feeling.
Moreover, she is very recognizable. Hiss can spot Karuni at a glance. If Karuni were thrown into a group of girls, Hiss could also spot her immediately. No wonder Karuni became a big star in the Carlos region and later became the champion of the Carlos region.
"I'm so sorry, Gardevoir was my Pokémon. It ran away while I was chatting with my friend." Karune bowed politely in apology. Hiss quickly waved his hand. He wasn't particularly bothered by it, although the dizziness he felt earlier was quite unbearable, and his head was still a little fuzzy.
"You must be Miss Karuni from the Carlos region, right?" Hiss looked at Karuni in front of him and asked with certainty. Karuni was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"I've seen the movies you starred in, 'Happy Eggs, Listen to Me,' which is a classic." Heath praised sincerely. This wasn't Heath bragging; he had indeed seen Karenina's movies. Feng Jie had taken them to see two of them. One was "Growlithe Ossie," and the other was "Happy Eggs, Listen to Me." One was about Officer Jenny, and the other was about Miss Joy.
These two movies can be considered mainstream films, but from a certain perspective, they also helped the people of the Alliance to better understand the work of these two families and the sacrifices they made. Heath felt most conflicted about the movie "Happy Eggs" because the plot made Heath feel somewhat uncomfortable and terrible.
“That’s a great piece of work. Would you like me to take a picture with you or sign your name?” Karuni said with a smile. She glanced at Heath’s food truck, which was very high-tech. However, Karuni thought that Heath might want to hang her picture on the wall. In some dessert shops in the Carlos region, the owners were proud of making desserts that attracted her to come and eat, and the picture was a photo of her with Karuni.
"No need for that. But Miss Karune, would you like something to eat?" Heath smiled and shook his head. Although he had seen Karune's movies, he had only seen two. He wouldn't call himself a fan; he just liked the stories in those two movies. Moreover, both movies were based on true events, which made Heath feel a little uneasy because he really didn't expect there to be such people in the Pokémon world.
The story of Blissey tells of Nurse Joy, who works in a big city. A patient's Pokémon is seriously injured and suffers from organ failure, making it incurable. The Pokémon dies at the Pokémon Center, causing the Pokémon trainer to harbor resentment and kill Nurse Joy with a knife on a rainy night. Before dying, Nurse Joy uses her Blissey to express her reluctance to leave and her attachment to her Pokémon.
This is a story from a long time ago, before Heath even traveled here. But because of this incident, the Joy family required all the Joy girls to have the ability to fight bad guys. The Joy family patriarch said this with tears in his eyes.
"I always thought that as angels in white, we should be facing death, not training in combat and self-defense to protect ourselves. This is a disgrace to us and to the league."
Chief Officer Jenny lowered her head in shame; medical staff should indeed not have faced such threats.
As a result, all the trainers in the league became furious during that period. That scumbag was caught by the champion, sentenced in the blink of an eye, and executed in the blink of an eye. His ashes were scattered all over the league area where Nurse Joy lived, leaving no trace of his body. However, everyone applauded and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.
"Huh?" Karuni was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Heath to say that. After all, she had just thought Heath was her biggest fan, but she didn't expect him to not ask for her autograph. However, after hearing what they were going to eat, Karuni couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
"Do you have any desserts here?" Karuni asked curiously. Heath smiled and nodded. As expected of Karuni, her love for desserts was indeed well-known. Heath remembered that when Karuni was filming movies, she would sneak out to find a dessert shop to eat. She was a true dessert fanatic.
"Then please give me one!" Karuni immediately sat down, looking very serious. Hiss poured Karuni a glass of water, then went to the kitchen to prepare a dessert for Karuni.
The types of desserts in the Pokémon world are similar to those in the previous life, with no major differences. The biggest difference is that some desserts in the Pokémon world cleverly use berries, resulting in some differences in taste compared to the previous life.
This time, Heath plans to make a more traditional chiffon cake. Chiffon cake is relatively simple to make, but it is still quite difficult to make it delicious. Moreover, because chiffon cakes often use very little butter, the aroma of the cake is less than that of a butter cake. Fortunately, Heath has her own solution.
"This berry is quite good..." Heath looked at the orange in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. Chiffon cakes often need to have some flavorful juice added, or chocolate and various fruits cleverly used, in order to make them sweeter.
However, Heath only intended to make a regular chiffon cake, so focusing on the ingredients became essential.
Chapter 367 Chicken Cake
As Heath placed the cake base into the oven, a delicious aroma wafted out. However, Heath showed no sign of stopping. The chiffon cakes he made weren't very big, so Karuni could eat several cakes. That was Heath's plan. Moreover, Karuni's only requirement for food was desserts, all kinds of desserts. Therefore, Heath also planned to make another very special dessert.
Sponge cake is a very common dessert, and the method of making it is also very simple. However, sponge cake has one advantage: its aroma is very strong. Especially when it is freshly baked and served, the strong aroma can be smelled from ten meters away. This is also an excellent way for some street pastry shops to attract customers. Often, seeing these desserts and smelling their rich, sweet aroma are two different things. The latter can attract customers on the one hand, and increase their desire to buy on the other.
However, making a good sponge cake is quite difficult, but the method is actually very simple. Heath once saw a very popular sponge cake shop on the street. Their specialty was waterless sponge cake. At first, Heath didn't quite understand how to make a cake without water. Later, she discovered that they advertised using milk instead of water, along with honey, which is why the sponge cake tasted so sweet and rich, making it unforgettable. Their shop had the most repeat customers, and Heath also queued up to buy one. The taste was indeed very good.
So you can see from this that if you want to make a delicious and fragrant sponge cake, you just need to replace the water with milk and add honey. Although Heath doesn't know the exact ratio, he is a chef and can deduce some of the proportions, so making this sponge cake is not a difficult task for him.
When Hiss brought the steamed sponge cake and chiffon cake to Karuni, he could even hear Karuni's stomach growl. This made Karuni, who was always very conscious of her appearance, blush instantly. The blush spread to her ears, making her look very cute and pretty. Hiss pretended not to hear it, put down a glass of milk, and smiled as she returned to her kitchen.
When Karuni saw that Heath seemed not to have heard her, her embarrassment subsided a little. She glanced at Heath gratefully, then picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a small bite.
The freshly baked sponge cake was still steaming, but it was precisely because of this steam that the sweet aroma of the sponge cake was even more intense. After taking a bite, Karuni felt as if her mouth was filled with that sweet aroma, and she felt a little lightheaded. The sweetness was just right. After taking a sip of milk, Karuni was even more satisfied. This dessert was one of the top ten desserts Karuni had ever eaten.
Moreover, the sponge cake tastes great. Its fluffy texture and sweet flavor, while sweet, are not overly sweet or cloying. In addition, Hister deliberately turned up the heat when making the sponge cake and spread a little honey on top, which made the surface of the sponge cake slightly crispy. The feeling of taking a bite made Karuni even more satisfied.
[You entertained Karuni, and you gained a copy of "An Actor Prepares"]
Heath was taken aback. Receiving a reward wasn't strange, but what was strange was why he was given a copy of "An Actor Prepares." Although Heath knew that Karuni was a big star and an actress, and the kind who had both talent and looks—after all, Karuni was very beautiful, and in his previous life she could have been a pretty face reciting numbers—Karuni's acting skills were also excellent, which was quite impressive.
But Heath was speechless. He really didn't want this "Actor's Self-Cultivation" thing, because it was a book!
This ridiculous cheat code has a really annoying feature: the books that are given as rewards can only be used if you actually read and learn them yourself. Heath hasn't even finished reading the tracking techniques book he got before, let alone this thick book, "An Actor Prepares." Heath thinks he might be interested in reading these books when he's older and retired. Otherwise, Heath thinks it's more interesting to look at cookbooks.
Heath sighed. It seemed that his collection of strange items had grown again. Heath thought that if he ever met a young person who aspired to become a star or actor, he could give them this book as a way of doing them a favor.
After Karuni finished her dessert, she happily paid the bill and left. After Karuni left, Hiss's food cart became quiet. After all, it wasn't the start of the technology expo yet, so there were still very few people. Hiss didn't see many customers at the expo either, so he simply sat in the food cart and prepared to study the latest menu to see if there were any innovative options.
Meanwhile, Farfetch'd came out and asked Heath for permission to go outside. According to Zoroah's translation, Farfetch'd seemed to have discovered some interesting ingredients and planned to fly over to get them. Heath looked at Farfetch'd with suspicion, but still agreed. Farfetch'd was quite safe outside; the security at the science fair was very strong.
A while later, as Heath was quietly reading, he faintly smelled a strange odor, which seemed to be a bit fishy, and also seemed to be mixed with the scent of life's inheritance. Heath frowned, then looked up and saw Farfetch'd flying in excitedly with a bunch of white flowers. As Farfetch'd got closer, the smell became stronger and stronger. Heath felt that every breath he took was the scent of life's inheritance, which reminded him of his roommate in college who slept on the top bunk and whose body would often vibrate inexplicably at night.
"Isn't this a heather flower? Why did you bring a heather flower here?!" Heath was shocked. The more he looked at this thing, the more familiar it seemed, and the scent was so distinctive that Heath could guess the type of flower just by smelling it.
"Onion?" Farfetch'd looked bewildered, seemingly completely unaware of why Heath would say that.
Chapter 368 How to eat photinia flowers?
Heath's lips twitched as he stared at the thing in front of him. Heather—heath knew about it. Its scent was quite peculiar, giving people a very unique feeling. It was also known as the "Filthy King of Flowers." Although, in Heath's opinion, the heather was actually quite innocent. Its scent was just that—that's what it was supposed to smell like. Who knew it would happen to be so similar to the scent of some special life-giving substance in humans? This made the heather seem quite innocent. But in fact, the heather was indeed one of the better green plants and flowers in the city. It was just a pity that its scent was a bit peculiar.
This is the scent of life's inheritance, the scent that makes your best friend smile and ask for some seeds. Anyway, it's not a very pleasant smell, but the planting rate of photinia is quite high. Some cities or universities even plant it on a large scale. However, every time it blooms, some people complain about that smell.
So Heath decided to throw away the heather to make his food truck smell more respectable, but a notification popped up the next second.
The best way to overcome difficulties is to face them: without using any cheat codes or gadgets, make a dish with normal taste and texture using photinia flowers, and you will receive a mystery reward.
Heath's lips twitched. This task had come at just the right time. Heath was just a hair's breadth away from throwing the heather, but now, looking at the task before him, his hand hesitated.
The most distinctive feature of photinia flowers is their flavor. Heath remembers watching a special food show or variety show where a chef made scrambled eggs with photinia flowers. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite a culinary disaster. After all, the photinia flowers themselves have a strong flavor, and when combined with the unique eggy smell of eggs, it could be a nightmare dish if not prepared properly.
Furthermore, he couldn't use the items provided by the cheat system. Otherwise, Heath felt he would still have a chance to try. However, not being able to use those magical items meant that Heath had to find a way to solve the problem of the heather's scent himself, which made the situation extremely difficult. In fact, the difficulty level increased dramatically. Heath felt that completing this task was far too high, and since the tasks provided by the cheat system never had any penalties, Heath felt that even if he gave up on the task, he wouldn't face any trouble...
Then Heath began to seriously study how to use this special ingredient. After all, the mysterious reward given by the cheat code was very tempting. If he could get a great reward, he would be making a huge profit. Moreover, so far, apart from some book-type rewards, Heath felt that the other rewards could still be of some use.
However, when he started processing it, Heath discovered that the processing of heather was far more difficult than he had imagined. The fragrance of heather was very strong, so it was extremely difficult to completely remove this special smell. Heath could only try to wash it more and add more strong-flavored seasonings to try to cover up the smell, but it was still too difficult. The smell was still there when he ate it, and the heather processed in this way was actually no longer edible. Heath had a bit of a headache.
In his previous life, there were relatively few dishes made with fresh flowers, and the one that Heath was most familiar with was the flower cake from Yunnan Province. Heath wanted to try making flower cakes from photinia flowers, which might be a good idea.
Yunnan Province's flower cakes were introduced later. The taste of these flower cakes is very interesting, and they are quite popular. Some people who travel to Yunnan Province will consider bringing them back as a local specialty. Although Heath doesn't really like the special taste of flower cakes, it has to be said that they have indeed attracted a group of fans.
"But no one else thought of using photinia flowers to make flower cakes..." Heath laughed and cried at the same time as he threw the failed photinia flower cake into the trash can. Heath had already closed the door of the food cart, otherwise, if someone came in later, Heath suspected that he would die on the spot, since the smell of photinia flowers in the food cart was already lethal.
"Let me think... I remember that flower cakes were originally made with roses, and they tasted quite sweet. They were somewhat like mooncakes, except that the five-nut filling in mooncakes was replaced with flower filling..." Heath scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache. If this cheat could reward him by deepening his memories, that would be great. After all, Heath really didn't remember many dishes from his previous life. The ones he remembered most were the ones he had made himself. As for flower cakes, although Heath had eaten them once, he really couldn't remember how to make them.
Heath sighed. He didn't have any better ideas either, so he could only take it one step at a time and figure it out on his own.
For the next while, Heath almost forgot about time. When he finally snapped out of his busyness, it was only when Soraya jumped onto his head that Heath was able to break free from his state of concentration.
"What's wrong, Zorua?" Heath looked at Zorua in confusion, and then the next second he heard Zorua's stomach growl. Heath took out his phone and glanced at it. It was already 7:30 pm. Although only Zorua had come out, Heath also saw Farfetch'd glancing at him from time to time, as well as Charmeleon's tail. Heath scratched his head awkwardly.
"Sorry, sorry, I was just doing something... I'll cook now." Heath hadn't expected that her research would take up the whole afternoon, but she had made some progress. She had been constantly adjusting the seasonings and experimenting with ordinary flower petals, and had found a recipe that was quite similar to the flower cakes she had in her previous life, but she still needed to do some research to make them exactly the same.
However, Heath felt there was no need for further research. After all, he didn't have to be exactly the same. Heath could make some subtle changes, and the heather meant that its processing could not be the same as that of the rose.
Thinking about this, Heath's mood improved considerably. After looking at the ingredients in his food cart, he decided what kind of dinner he would make for his Pokémon this time.
"Make some braised pork with fried tofu, then a serving of stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, and a bowl of cabbage soup." Heath stretched.
Chapter 369 Pokémon That Never Gets Enough Sleep
"Everyone, do you still remember what we agreed on this afternoon?" In the dead of night, the lights in Heath's dining car were still on. Soraya, with a serious expression, rested his chin on his hands and asked earnestly.
"Aww." Charmeleon nodded, and even Snorlax, which usually sleeps soundly, yawned and tried to stand up. It was clear that Snorlax was very sleepy, but it still didn't seem to be going to sleep. Farfetch'd hugged its green onion, leaned against the wall, and looked at its friends with a somewhat unfocused gaze.
"Trainers are our trainers! But today! Some bastard actually kidnapped a trainer right in front of us!" Zoroia angrily slammed her paw on the table, making a crisp sound. Zoroia's face twitched, then she calmly retracted her paw and placed it under the table. However, judging from her constantly wagging tail, Zoroia's mood was definitely not calm.
Charmeleon watched this scene unfold, and a grin spread across its face. However, under Zorua's threatening gaze, it obediently suppressed the smile that was about to appear on its lips and instead wagged its tail to divert its attention.
"This matter can't just be left like this!" Zoroa said seriously. Farfetch'd raised its Farfetch'd in agreement, and even Snorlax's expression became much more serious.
Charmeleon nodded, opened its mouth, and breathed out a ball of flame. It all happened so fast that Charmeleon didn't even have time to react before Seath disappeared from the food truck. This made Charmeleon very worried. Seath was their trainer, but now he had been taken away by other Pokémon. Fortunately, Seath was alright afterward. Otherwise, Charmeleon wouldn't know how to face the trainer who took it in, taught it how to become stronger, and helped it find the meaning of life.
"So, this is our revenge operation! I've already investigated. That big guy is very strong, but if we coordinate properly, we still have a chance to win." Zoroa flicked its tail, and the next second, Zoroa's body suddenly transformed into the appearance of an old man. If Hiss saw this old man, he would definitely know who it was. Wasn't this Asura who had brought Zoroa to the Kanto region before?
Led by Zoroark, the Pokémon that had been transformed into other forms by Phantom followed in Zoroark's footsteps and sneaked out of Seath's food truck under the cover of night. Seath was still fast asleep in her bedroom, completely unaware that her Pokémon had secretly slipped out.
……
"Ha... I'm so sleepy... but I should get up. I have a lot to buy today." Heath yawned and slowly got out of bed. He was still a little sleepy, but today was the day of the technology expo, and in order not to waste this great opportunity to make money, Heath still made a concerted effort to get out of bed.
Heath plans to decide on a signature dish today and produce it in large quantities to serve the guests quickly. Otherwise, if each dish is made fresh to order, Heath feels he might not be able to keep up, even with the help of Farfetch'd, Snorlax, and Charmeleon.
Heath had originally considered making it a buffet, but his newly expanded restaurant wasn't very big and couldn't accommodate too many guests. And it was impossible to force guests to leave when it was a buffet. Either he would set a time limit for dining or find another way, but that would be too troublesome. Heath thought it would be better to make it a main dish, and then make other dishes based on whether guests ordered them.
