I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

However, this would mean Heath would have to write down all the dishes to be made that day on the menu; otherwise, if guests ordered randomly, Heath would probably have to buy all the ingredients.

“If we’re talking about the main dishes…” Heath fell into thought, but decided to get up first.

Heath had just gotten up when he glanced to the side and saw that Zoroya was sleeping soundly without making a sound. Heath chuckled and grabbed Zoroya by the neck to stand up, then got out of bed. But as soon as he got up, he noticed that Farfetch'd was also lying in its little nest, snoring away. Heath was taken aback.

"Goodness, are these guys really that sleepy? Or have they been infected by the rhythm of Pallet Town?" Heath looked at his Pokémon with suspicion. These little guys all looked very sleepy. Heath wouldn't be surprised if Zoroark was like this, after all, Zoroark is known for being sleepy. But if Farfetch'd was like this, then Heath was really puzzled. Farfetch'd had been following Heath for a while and had trained its biological clock quite well, so it shouldn't have this problem at all.

"Get up, Farfetch'd." Heath rubbed Farfetch'd's head, and Farfetch'd groggily opened his eyes. He then followed Heath with unsteady steps, but after only a couple of steps, he collapsed back onto the ground and fell fast asleep, snoring loudly.

"?" Heath slowly typed out a question mark. What's wrong?

The sight of the giant green onion duck reminded Heath of the times he would stay up all night at an internet cafe, and when he got home the next morning, he would look just like that. He was determined not to sleep, but he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Heath pushed open the bedroom door with a puzzled look, and then saw Charmeleon, who should have been exercising at this time of day, lying on the floor asleep. The exercise equipment was completely untouched, and Snorlax was snoring loudly. Heath looked at Zoroa in his hand with a puzzled look. The little guy was also asleep and hadn't made a sound.

"What's going on? It can't be that a dream-inducing person came and hypnotized these little guys, right?" Heath was a little confused, but seeing how sleepy the little guys looked, Heath gave up on waking them up. Heath figured the little guys must have been up to something last night, but he didn't want to investigate further, as long as they were alright.

Thinking of this, Heath put Soroya on his bed, covered him with the blanket, and then hummed a little tune as he went to the bathroom. He opened the bathroom door and began his washing up routine. After washing up, Heath still had to go to the vegetable market in Green Ridge City to buy groceries.

Chapter 370 Shallots

Unlike running a typical restaurant, if you need to entertain a large number of guests, the best solution for a small restaurant like Heath's, where only one person is running it, is to launch a signature dish and encourage guests to order it. This would reduce Heath's workload. Otherwise, if guests order different types of dishes, Heath would be overwhelmed unless she had three heads and six arms. Moreover, the kitchen is only so big, and the variety of dishes she can make is not very large.

However, this approach also has a drawback: it's difficult to ensure customer satisfaction, as it's hard to cater to everyone's tastes with signature dishes.

When it came to choosing a main dish, Heath finally decided that fried rice would be the most suitable. After all, fried rice is relatively simple and palatable, and few people would dislike it. Moreover, even if a customer has a picky palate, Heath can make some subtle changes to the fried rice to suit that customer's taste.

This can be considered one of Heath's little tricks, hoping to make his satisfaction level not too low through this method.

Moreover, fried rice is relatively easy to prepare. Heath only needs to cook the rice and set it aside. Although there is a saying that fried rice is best made with leftover rice, in Heath's opinion, the biggest difference between leftover rice and freshly cooked rice is the difference in water content. If the rice is freshly cooked, it is easy for the rice to have too much moisture, resulting in soft and sticky fried rice that is not tasty and has a poor texture. This is why few people use freshly cooked rice to make fried rice. Rice left overnight has less moisture, so the fried rice made with it tastes better.

Of course, there are solutions to this problem. Even if Heath just cooks the rice, he can put it in Dialluca's pressure cooker to quickly leave it overnight, and he doesn't have to worry about the rice spoiling easily in the hot summer. However, some ways of steaming rice are also worth trying.

However, in Heath's opinion, the most crucial aspect of fried rice is the choice of rice. There are many types of rice. Heath once bought rice from the Galar region in Evergreen City. That kind of rice has a very high water absorption rate. Ordinary rice only needs one finger joint to hold enough water, but that kind of rice needs two finger joints, otherwise it will be undercooked. Rice that is overcooked can be eaten as porridge, but if it is undercooked, it is really difficult to cook.

So when a beginner cooks rice for the first time, if they are unsure about the amount of water, it is better to add a little more than too little, otherwise the rice will be undercooked and inedible.

"Dialga is such a good person..." Heath looked at the amazing kitchen utensils in his kitchen. He had to admit that Dialga's abilities were incredibly powerful for a chef, even extremely strong. You see, for a chef, ingredients are a very important aspect, cooking skills are also very important, but time is also very important. For example, the kimchi that Heath made required a lot of time.

"Speaking of which, my kimchi should be almost ready, right?" Speaking of kimchi, Heath remembered another kind of kimchi he had made after finishing his regular kimchi. Now that he thought about it, it was about time. He glanced at the navigation map, took out the kimchi jar, and put it aside.

Heath prepared a new pair of chopsticks before opening the lid of the kimchi container. He then took out his own pickled kimchi and nodded in satisfaction at the reddish color of the kimchi in the small bowl. It smelled good, but he wondered how the pickled scallions were doing.

This time, Heath made pickled shallots, a rather special type of pickled vegetable. Shallots have a very good taste, sweet and sour, and are very appetizing. Even if you don't use them to stir-fry other ingredients, just taking a bite is enough to make you eat a bowl of rice. If you want to unlock even more delicious ways to eat them, then stir-fried shallots with meat is the best choice in Heath's opinion.

However, pickled scallions actually have specific requirements for pickling methods. Too sour or too sweet is no good; the perfect balance of sour and sweet is the best. Of course, some people may have different tastes and prefer very sour scallions, which is another matter. But for Heath himself, he felt that sweet and sour scallions were more in line with his requirements.

The method for making stir-fried scallions with meat is very simple. After chopping the scallions, take out the minced meat and stir-fry it until it changes color. Then, add the chopped scallions and stir-fry together. You need to control the heat during the stir-frying process. Since the taste of scallions is mainly sweet and sour, you basically don't need to add any other seasonings. If you really want to add something, I think adding a little salt is enough.

Originally, Heath had planned to take her Pokémon with her, but seeing how sleepy the little guys were, she gave up on that idea. Instead, she quietly got off the food truck and went to the market in Mossdeep City to buy a lot of ingredients. She carried them back in large bags, and if Heath hadn't been so strong, she felt she probably wouldn't have been able to carry them all. But with these ingredients, Heath was basically prepared to entertain her guests today. No matter what strange requests the guests made, Heath should be able to fulfill them.

In addition, to prevent some guests from making strange requests, Heath specially bought some fruit. In his previous life, when Heath cooked for his friends, he encountered a weirdo who liked to eat fruit fried rice. Heath was stunned for a moment, but still made a fruit fried rice for the guy.

Fruit fried rice has some requirements for the choice of fruit. The simplest way is to use pineapple, which tastes pretty good. Mango is also an option, having been tested by foodies. However, mangoes are usually used to make mango sticky rice.

When making fried rice, Heath has seen pineapple the most.

When Heath got into the car, he was stunned for a moment because he saw someone sitting in his dining car, a very familiar person. The person's green hair was something Heath remembered very well.

"Why are you here?" Heath was a little surprised. The security of his food truck was really bad. It was one thing for Mew to come and go as he pleased, but now Rayquaza could also come and go as he pleased.

However, it's not surprising that if Dream can do it, Rayquaza can do it too.

Chapter 371 Watch what amazing treasure I've found!

"I'll eat something." Liekong said calmly, and then casually tossed a piece of meteorite in his hand into his mouth in front of Heath, eating it as if it were a broad bean, which made Heath's mouth twitch.

Rayquaza has really good teeth, but the Pokémon itself seems pretty normal, nothing strange about it.

“I think if you were to shoot a commercial, a toothpaste commercial would be perfect for you.” Heath clicked her tongue, then casually put the ingredients in her hand aside. Rayquaza yawned, then swung her leg to the other side, and placed her hands on her long legs, her big eyes intently looking at Heath.

Heath was stunned by Rayquaza's stare. Heath subconsciously touched his face, but there was nothing wrong with it. He didn't know why Rayquaza was staring at him.

“I’m hungry,” Rayquaza spoke again. Heath was speechless. He suspected that Rayquaza was now a heartless, hungry robot. But this kind of personality was actually quite good. There was no problem with it. Heath liked dealing with straightforward people like this. If Rayquaza were the Riddler of Gotham, Heath felt that he would probably collapse. After all, the Riddler should all be kicked out of Gotham.

Heath particularly dislikes people who like to speak in riddles. For someone like Heath, he thinks it's better to be straightforward. He doesn't like people who have to guess what's going on. It's not like they're doing anything shady. Why make it sound like they're out to capture Tiger Mountain by strategy? Fortunately, no one has tried to play that trick on Heath yet.

"What would you like to eat?" Heath hesitated for a moment. He remembered that Rayquaza liked to eat meteorites. Last time, Heath used Hoopa's Golden Ring to catch a meteorite for Rayquaza. Later, it was discovered that it seemed to be a meteorite from Deoxys. If he went to catch one now, would he catch another meteorite from Deoxys? This was indeed a question worth exploring.

Last time, Deoxys came with Dialga, and at that time, Hiss was certain that the rewards given by his golden circle, or rather, his cheat code, might really come from some legendary Pokémon in this world, except for items from other worlds, such as the Three-Day Blade given last time, and the damaged Anywhere Door given before. Hiss still treats that thing as decoration. Until it is repaired, the damaged Anywhere Door is completely useless, unless he intends to die and experience the unknown thrill.

After all, who knows where you'd end up if you opened the Anywhere Door? It wouldn't be so bad if it led to a toilet or a supermarket, but what if it sent Seath to an altitude of 10,000 meters? Who would Seath complain to? You have to understand that none of Seath's Pokémon can carry him around. Farfetch'd can fly a little, but it's practically impossible for it to carry a human as heavy as Seath, unless Charmeleon evolves into Charizard.

“You know what I like to eat.” Rayquaza’s words were so witty they were almost slapping people in the face. Heath was a little speechless, but he still nodded. Then he silently took out Hoopa’s golden ring, intending to see what he could catch this time.

……

"My power! My power!" In an unknown place in the Valley of Creation, an angry voice came from a sealed pot with some cracks. Hoopa suddenly burst out of the sealed pot, but the sealed pot still restricted Hoopa, causing it to roar angrily. At this moment, one of the golden rings that Hoopa was holding was missing.

"Thief! Hoopa! I hate thieves!" Hoopa turned its head to the side, seemingly looking directly towards Green Ridge City across mountains and rivers.

On the outskirts of the sealed land, the man responsible for guarding the second seal frowned. Recently, Hoopa had been trying to jump out of the seal and cause trouble, which made him feel that the pressure on the seal had increased significantly.

"Sigh, I don't know why my ancestors had such a strange mission." The man sighed.

Inside the sealed temple, Hoopa angrily pulled out the golden ring and reached in, but grabbed nothing. His hand simply slipped out of the ring, which enraged Hoopa even more. It roared loudly, its angry roar echoing throughout the temple.

"Hoopa, Hoopa can Hoopa!" Hoopa suddenly fell silent. Its eyes darted around as if it had thought of something. Then, Hoopa obediently retreated back into the sealing jar and became quiet.

……

“Let me think… a hard, chewy, and delicious meteorite…” Heath reached into Hoopa’s gold ring, and the next second Heath felt himself holding something hard. He then pulled his hand back, but as he did so, he noticed something was wrong, because he realized that he was holding something that looked like a broken chamber pot.

"What is this thing?" A question flashed through Heath's mind. This thing didn't seem to have anything to do with meteorites at all.

Before Heath could react, the spout suddenly vibrated violently, and the next second the lid was sprayed off and hit Heath on the head. Then a thick purple smoke billowed out, and Heath vaguely saw something emerge from it.

"Meow! Meow! Pala pala!" A sharp, thin voice. Heath felt as if he were hearing a little kitten meowing. At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and Heath saw the owner of the voice.

In front of Heath, a small, dark red cat stood on the counter. It had a golden circle pattern on its tail, which was very pretty. The cat looked like an ordinary domestic cat, but it was a kitten and not very big.

"Why did you catch a cat?" Heath asked, somewhat bewildered. Rayquaza curiously approached, its green eyes fixed on the kitten in front of it. Rayquaza sensed that the kitten seemed a little abnormal.

"Meow!" the cat meowed again.

"Meowpas?" Heath paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied. The cat became even angrier. It raised its paw, then suddenly froze. Heath then saw the dark red cat in front of him meowing and jumping around, occasionally making some angry noises.

Heath's lips twitched. So why did he expect the meteorite to produce a cat?

"You chose this, human!" If Hoopa's golden ring could talk, it would definitely want to complain.

Chapter 372 I'm already a useless cat

Heath stared at the exasperated kitten in front of him, lost in thought. Rayquaza showed no interest in the cat, glancing at it a few times before running off to eat its own meteorite. Heath then took another meteorite from Hoopa's golden ring for Rayquaza, and this time, quite normally, it pulled out what it wanted. Heath felt fortunate that it hadn't pulled out anything strange this time, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome. However, Heath wasn't entirely sure if this meteorite was unclaimed. He could only hope that it wasn't taken from Deoxys.

It seems that Hoopa's golden ring occasionally pulls out some strange things, which Heath didn't expect. After all, he always thought that Hoopa's golden ring was very reliable. It seems that he should be a little more careful next time he uses it, otherwise who knows what kind of thing it will pull out.

However, it must be said that this dark red cat is really quite unique. From being furious at the beginning, the cat has now become utterly hopeless, lying motionless on the table like a useless cat. If it weren't for the occasional movement of its eyes, Heath would have suspected that the cat had given up on its feline life and decided to become a useless cat that couldn't move from now on.

Furthermore, Zoroark couldn't understand what this cat was saying, which was quite absurd. It was unexpected that Zoroark's telepathic communication ability would fail one day. So, after hesitating for a moment, Hiss still took out his food identification device. Hiss intended to see if this cat was an ordinary cat or a Pokémon. If it was a Pokémon, Hiss had never actually seen one like this before. After all, Hiss knew a bit about feline Pokémon, but the only one Hiss could think of that resembled this cat was Litten.

But it doesn't look like Litten. Heath felt that this might be a completely new Pokémon, one that he had never seen before. If that were the case, it would be quite interesting. Anyway, if it was a Pokémon, his food identification device should be able to tell.

[A strange creature bound by a mysterious force, inedible. Although it looks and feels like it has solid flesh and blood, it is actually just a cloud of gas and has no cooking ability. This once ferocious creature is now trapped under the body of a cat, which may be a form of punishment or training.]

Heath was taken aback. It was quite strange that the food identification device hadn't recognized it. However, Heath was already certain that the cat in front of him was probably a Pokémon. As for what kind of Pokémon it was, Heath hadn't figured it out yet, since the Pokémon's identity hadn't been revealed. It was only said that the Pokémon was a brutal creature.

There are indeed some brutal Pokémon in the Pokémon community. Even in anime that promotes harmony between humans and Pokémon, there are still some aggressive Pokémon. In reality, there are even more brutal Pokémon, so Heath really doesn't know the identity of this Pokémon.

"A brutal Pokémon? That's quite a rarity." Heath reached out and poked the cat's chin. The cat slapped him with its paw in annoyance, but its little paws were not harmful at all. Instead, they made it look rather cute and adorable, like a little kitten playing with him. Heath chuckled and reached out to stroke its head, just like stroking a normal cat. However, the cat's fur color was very strange. Heath had never seen a cat of this color before.

"Since I'm the one who captured you, you can come with me for now." Heath made up his mind. Anyway, this unknown Pokémon has no ability to fight back right now and can only live a cute little kitten life. It's not a bad choice for it to come with Heath. Moreover, Heath felt that since he was the one who captured it, it wouldn't be a big deal to let this little guy stay with him.

"Do you want to take this cat in?" Rayquaza contentedly swallowed the meteorite in his mouth. The meteorite provided by Heath was of very high quality, and Rayquaza liked it very much. Compared to flying around in the ozone layer looking for food, Rayquaza felt that eating a meal here with Heath once in a while was a good choice, and this human was also quite interesting.

"Well, since I caught it and can't put it back, I'll have to take care of it for now." Heath picked up the cat, hugged it to his chest and rubbed it, then put it down and tossed it into the lounge.

In the lounge, unless Zoroya and the others help, the cat won't be able to escape. In the restaurant, Heath isn't sure if the cat will run away when guests arrive. If it does, finding such a cat in the vast city of Green Ridge will be extremely difficult.

Rayquaza nodded noncommittally, then casually took out a crystal-clear stone and handed it to Heath, casually saying "for the meal" before leaving. Heath stared in surprise at the stone in his hand.

"If this thing were in China, I feel like I could be a multi-millionaire, or even a billionaire..." Heath looked at the stone in his hand in surprise. It looked like a piece of jade, a piece of jade so green it seemed to drip water, and the texture and clarity were also very good. Heath's parents in his previous life had been in the jewelry business, and under their influence, Heath had some understanding of jewelry. In Heath's opinion, this piece of jade was top-grade glass-type jade.

If this thing were in his past life, Heath felt that with this palm-sized piece of jade, he could achieve financial freedom and live the carefree life he wanted. It's not an exaggeration at all; Heath felt that selling such a top-quality piece of jade for tens of millions would be very easy.

However, this thing isn't very valuable in this world. After all, people in this world don't seem to have the concept of jade. This thing can probably only be sold to the father and son who are stone enthusiasts at the Devon Company. I wonder how much they will offer.

[You entertained Rayquaza, and you received a Mini Speed ​​Boost Capsule]

[Mini Speed ​​Boost Capsules: After consumption, they can permanently and slightly increase your speed]

Heath was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. This was a good thing! Anything that could improve one's physical fitness was a good thing. Heath took out the pill and swallowed it. It had no taste, but he didn't feel anything in his body either, like a sudden warmth.

Chapter 373 Strange Requests

Heath tried it out, and the speed increase was really slight, almost imperceptible. If Heath hadn't cut the carrot again and found that his speed seemed to have increased by 0.1 seconds, he felt that he might not have even noticed the change.

"Well, being able to improve is already a pretty good thing." Heath shook his head. The speed increase was indeed very slight, which was quite in line with the name. However, Heath had no objection to it. After all, when the cheat was given, it was already stated that it would be a slight improvement, so there was really nothing to say.

If it were a significant improvement, Heath felt the change would be very noticeable, but even a small improvement is quite good; little by little, it adds up.

Heath yawned and then began to prepare some ingredients in advance. This way, when the guests ordered fried rice, Heath could make some delicious fried rice according to their tastes and requirements. Heath had also put up today's signature dish on the outside of the food cart to ensure that every guest could see today's main dish. This was also a way for Heath to save some effort.

Farfetch'd was also summoned by Heath, as was Snorlax. Heath also planned to promote Snorlax's shaved ice today, which should be a good business opportunity. After all, the temperature in Mossdeep City was as high as 29 degrees Celsius today, which is close to 30 degrees Celsius. In such hot weather, holding a bowl of cold shaved ice in your hands would definitely be a very comfortable thing.

"You're really planning to open a fried rice shop?" Nami walked up with her arms crossed, her expression somewhat complicated. She genuinely hadn't expected that at a technology expo, in such a high-tech food truck, Heath would actually be thinking of opening a fried rice shop.

The sense of incongruity is just too strong. It's like a jianbing (Chinese crepe) vendor sneaking into a conference where internet giants are gathered. It just doesn't look right.

"Of course, it would be stupid not to make money. Would you like some fried rice, Miss Nami?" Heath said with a smile. He wasn't interested in the technology exhibition, but he was very interested in making money. And if the fried rice sold out quickly, Heath could go out and take a look at how far the technology in the Pokémon world had developed.

"Then give me a plate of fried rice, and you can decide how it's made, boss." Nami nodded. Actually, Nami had no choice. According to the notice Heath posted outside the food cart, the fried rice here was decided by the owner. Customers could only order fried rice, but what side dishes were added and how it tasted were all decided by Heath himself. He even guaranteed to satisfy the customers' taste buds. This arrogant tone shocked Nami.

However, considering Heath's excellent culinary skills, everything seems to make sense. After all, Heath's cooking skills are indeed very good, and it doesn't seem strange that he can achieve this level. On the contrary, it seems quite normal.

"This is a new phone developed by a company in the Unova region. They gave me one, but I'm not really interested in it, so I'm giving it to you as payment for your meal." Nami shook her head helplessly, then took out a phone box and handed it to Heath. Heath took it curiously. This was a phone Heath had never seen before. The phone only had a Q symbol, but after opening it, Heath was genuinely surprised. It was a full-screen smartphone, and the screen resolution was extremely high after it was turned on, leaving Heath stunned.

"It's pretty good!" Heath was a little surprised. The phone had a very high pixel count and other powerful functions. Although Heath didn't know much about phones, from the current user experience, it was much better than the phone that Sister Feng had given him before.

“That’s right. This company specializes in developing these digital products. Their main slogan this time is to carry a DSLR with you. I don’t know much about photography, so I’m not really interested.” Nami’s face showed a hint of pride, but she quickly hid it. Kuroki Ryuji clicked his tongue after hearing this. Carry a DSLR with your phone? Even the mobile phone brands that focused on photography in his previous life probably wouldn’t dare to say something like that.
