I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

However, looking at the very light phone in his hand, Heath felt that this company might have actually succeeded. However, this DSLR should be an entry-level model, not the very expensive kind. After all, if it could really achieve the effect of a top-of-the-line DSLR, then the impact on DSLR cameras would be huge.

After all, DSLR cameras are expensive, and they're definitely not as portable as smartphones. Plus, if the lens gets broken, it could be a disaster.

SLR cameras in this world are very expensive. Heath had seen one once, and the exorbitant price made him lose all interest. Heath felt that he wasn't cut out for photography. Moreover, when it came to cameras, Heath inexplicably thought of Teacher Chen. Back then, Teacher Chen's news was incredibly sensational and influenced many other artists.

Fortunately, nothing like that has happened in this world. There are no similar gossip stories in this world, but it's hard to say that they just haven't been exposed yet.

Heath put his phone away and turned to make Nami's fried rice. Heath knew Nami's tastes, but perhaps because of the hot weather today, Miss Nami's requirements for food had changed quite a bit. Heath hesitated for a moment when looking at her food request, but still took out a pineapple. He hadn't expected that Miss Nami wanted to eat fruit fried rice, and the kind with chilled pineapple. Fortunately, Heath had Dialga's pressure cooker, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to meet this requirement.

With a pressure cooker, the speed of chilling pineapples can be increased significantly. Otherwise, it would probably take more than an hour to chill a pineapple properly, but with a pressure cooker, this time is greatly reduced.

It was just ordinary fried rice. Then, he took out a chilled pineapple, diced it, and sprinkled it into the fried rice and mixed it well. That's how a unique fried rice dish was made. Heath calmly wiped his hands. He had a feeling that he might meet many more guests with strange and unusual hobbies today.

"I don't know if all the ingredients I've prepared are enough... It feels like there's not enough." Heath looked at the large amount of ingredients she had bought and fell into deep thought. She could only hope that there would be fewer guests with unusual hobbies, but she figured that most of the guests were probably the more normal type.

Chapter 374 Heath: My legs are weak.

Unexpectedly, Nami stayed to help, which caught Heath somewhat off guard. However, after Nami explained, Heath quickly accepted it. After all, Nami also said that her main purpose was to explain the high-tech food truck of the Silph Company to the guests, as well as the folding space technology that was destined to have a very promising market prospect.

After all, Heath didn't understand the Silph Company, so it was better to leave these strange things to Nami to explain. At least it would save a lot of trouble, and Heath wouldn't have to deal with all sorts of curious questions from the customers. Heath only knew that his food truck was a reward from his cheat system, but he wasn't very clear about these strange principles or anything else.

Moreover, Nami could also work as a waitress, helping to serve dishes or clear tables, which would be a great help to Heath.

With Nami's help, Heath's interactions with guests became much easier. Although Nami couldn't cook, she could serve as a warm and welcoming waitress, and the surging crowd proved her importance. Heath was so busy today that she felt like she was about to fly, constantly preparing various dishes, including one plate of fried rice after another. She made quite a few different kinds of fried rice, which made Heath wipe the sweat from her brow. Luckily, Heath had prepared plenty of ingredients, otherwise making so much fried rice would have been a difficult task.

Moreover, the rice was consumed at an astonishing rate. Some guests also ordered other dishes, and after looking at the remaining ingredients in his kitchen, Heath provided these guests with what they wanted to eat.

"Why are there still so many customers?" Heath's lips twitched as he looked at the smiling customers still queuing in front of him. He glanced at his new phone; it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, but even at this time, there were still many customers at Heath's place, with the queue stretching all the way to the entrance of the food truck. This made Heath's scalp tingle. He originally thought he had bought a lot of ingredients, but looking at the situation in front of him, Heath felt that it didn't seem like so much after all.

Heath was so busy that she didn't finish until the science exhibition closed. When she found Nami standing in front of her, her voice hoarse from exhaustion, she realized that there were no more customers in line.

The tension that had been holding him up suddenly dissipated, and Heath felt utterly exhausted, completely powerless. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

"...My God...How come there are so many customers?" Hiss collapsed to the ground, Farfetch'd lay motionless on the ground, and even Snorlax was exhausted, sitting weakly on the ground and soon fell asleep. Today, neither Hiss, Farfetch'd, nor Snorlax had rested; they had been busy, constantly busy, their hands never stopping. The number of customers was simply too much to handle.

"After all, it's a technology exhibition held every three years, and there are some perks and activities, so it's not surprising that there are a lot of visitors... cough cough... it's not strange." Nami patted her chest, then frowned and poured herself a glass of warm water. She took a slow sip and felt a little better. Meanwhile, Heath felt like his hands weren't his own anymore. He hadn't felt a sense of exercise in a long time, and he could barely lift his hands.

Heath lay down on the ground, no longer caring whether the floor was dirty or not. Anyone who has experienced this kind of extreme exhaustion knows that as long as you can rest, you won't even think about getting up, let alone lying on the floor or in a mud puddle. This feeling of relaxation after being tense all over makes you very sleepy. Heath had just lain down when he felt sleepy. If Nami hadn't shaken him awake, Heath felt that he might have really fallen asleep.

"Don't fall asleep here, there are still two days left." Nami woke Heath up. She was also very sleepy, but she could still manage to stay awake. After all, she was mainly tired from talking, and her physical exhaustion wasn't too great.

"Thinking about it this way, I don't think I want to open for business tomorrow or the day after." Heath rolled his eyes. Although making money was indeed very satisfying, it was too tiring. However, the good news was that Heath's satisfaction level had increased significantly. But Heath did not hear any notifications about receiving rewards for entertaining guests today, which made Heath a little uneasy. Could it be that such entertaining did not count as a reward under the cheat system?

The reason Heath's food truck became so popular today is partly due to the influence of Siluf Corporation, and partly because Heath was the only company among all the exhibitors at the technology show to have a restaurant. This uniqueness and the buzz surrounding it attracted a lot of customers to Heath's food truck. Combined with Heath's exquisite culinary skills, all these factors combined made Heath incredibly successful today.

Heath was truly exhausted. He felt like he was a useless person now. If Nami hadn't been there, Heath would have definitely managed to crawl to the bed in the lounge and fall asleep immediately. As for the ingredients, he would think about them tomorrow.

"Heath... eh?" A familiar voice called out. Heath lifted her sleepy eyelids and glanced at the voice. It was Cynthia.

Cynthia was dressed in a gray-black outfit and wearing a baseball cap. Beside her was a man who was also wearing a baseball cap, but Heath recognized him as Daigo.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Nami was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why was she seeing Daigo and Cynthia here?

Nami is no naive fool who is focused solely on research. She is quite familiar with the champions of the Pokémon League in various regions. Although the two in front of her are disguised, it is still possible to tell that one is Cynthia, the new champion of the Sinnoh region, known as the strongest female champion, and the other is Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region.

A very skilled Pokémon Trainer, heir to Devon Corporation, the rival of the Silph Company, and a passionate rock enthusiast.

What surprised Nami was that these two champions would actually appear in this place, which really left Nami a little bewildered. Moreover, they seemed to be quite familiar with Heath, which made Nami's mind a little confused.

Chapter 375 The Metagross Monster That Can Heal

Nami left looking completely bewildered. Hiss chuckled as he saw Nami off, then looked at Cynthia and Daigo, utterly exhausted. What were those two doing here? Hiss had no time for pleasantries now; he was simply too tired. If it weren't for Cynthia and Daigo, he would have gone straight to his room to sleep. The energy he had been holding onto earlier had dissipated, and it would be incredibly difficult to muster it again.

Thinking of this, Heath couldn't help but yawn, then scratched his head and looked at the two champions in front of him.

"Ah... what are you doing here? Do you want something to eat?" Hiss looked helplessly at Daigo and Cynthia in front of him and asked reluctantly. But thinking about the possible rewards for entertaining these two, Hiss felt a little more motivated. He knew that the more special the guests' identities were, the better the rewards Hiss could get. This was something Hiss had figured out himself.

Hiss felt that the way his cheat system determined the rewards was quite peculiar. However, after summarizing it, Hiss found that the way his cheat system gave rewards seemed to be based on the relationship between the guests and the world. If it was a very important character like Ash or Steven, then the rewards would be better. If it was just an ordinary passerby, then the rewards would probably be some very ordinary stuff.

“Of course! I was planning to come here for lunch, but it was packed with people, so I decided to wait until after the exhibition closes.” Cynthia said proudly, while Steven stared blankly at Heath. After a while, Steven threw out his Poké Ball, and a Metagross appeared in front of Heath. Before Heath could react, Metagross emitted an invisible wave that enveloped Heath, and then a warm feeling enveloped Heath. Heath was surprised to find that the fatigue in his body had instantly subsided a lot.

"Daiwu, your Metagross can also heal pulses?" Cynthia was a little surprised. She naturally understood what Daiwu was doing, so she asked curiously. Daiwu calmly nodded. His Metagross could indeed heal pulses, which was not surprising.

After all, Steven usually likes to search for the stones he wants in various places, and if there is no Pokémon with healing abilities in the team, the process will not be so smooth. Therefore, Steven's Metagross has mastered the special move Heal Pulse. Steven originally wanted to catch a Zarude because that Pokémon has amazing healing abilities. However, Zarude is a very rare Pokémon with a very low sighting rate, and Steven has never encountered one.

This made Steven feel a little disappointed, but Cynthia just asked the question. In fact, Cynthia's team also has similar Pokémon. Although they are not like the Joy family's Blissey and Chansey which specialize in healing, Cynthia's Pokémon have good healing abilities and can handle daily life and ordinary battles without any problems.

Heath twisted his neck. Although the physical fatigue had dissipated considerably, the mental fatigue remained incurable. However, he felt much better than before. Heath yawned and patted his face to perk himself up, while Metagross curiously examined the human before him.

When Metagross healed Seath, it could sense that Seath's physical abilities were different from others, even surpassing those of its own trainer. This piqued Metagross's curiosity, but Steven didn't give any further commands. After glancing at Seath, Metagross lost interest.

"Mr. Daigo, Ms. Cynthia, would you like something to eat?" Although Heath was still a little tired, she was at least able to entertain guests, so she asked Daigo and Cynthia with a smile.

Heath decided that after entertaining Cynthia and Daigo, he would immediately go to bed and sleep, and no one would call him. He wanted to sleep until the next day.

"Give me one of your fried rice dishes," Cynthia said, offering what she wanted to eat.

"As for me, just make whatever you like, as long as it tastes good." Daigo also smiled and said his request, but this request was actually a bit difficult. Fortunately, Heath had a chef's eye and could see the customer's requirements for the food, otherwise Heath really wouldn't know what to make.

Heath nodded, and after carefully looking at the two champions, he quickly decided what he wanted to do.

Cynthia's request was simple; she only needed to make a fried rice dish, with some modifications based on her taste. However, Daigo's request was a bit more difficult. Fortunately, after looking at it, Hiss came up with a dish that could roughly satisfy Daigo's taste.

"Luckily I bought some fried tofu, otherwise it would have been impossible to entertain Daigo." Heath stretched. He planned to make fried tofu and braised pork rice for Daigo. Daigo's requirements for dinner were different from his requirements for breakfast. No wonder he was from a wealthy family.

This wasn't the first time Heath had made braised pork with fried tofu. In Heath's opinion, the biggest difference between braised pork with fried tofu and other braised pork dishes was the fried tofu. You could say that what you were eating in braised pork with fried tofu wasn't the pork itself, but rather the piece of fried tofu.

After soaking up the broth, each bite of the fried tofu is bursting with the flavorful sauce of braised pork. The soft fried tofu is also very appetizing, and even without the braised pork, you can easily eat a bowl of rice just by eating this little bit of fried tofu. However, this kind of fried tofu with braised pork can be a bit greasy, so it's best to eat it with some pickled vegetables for a better taste. Fortunately, Heath had some pickled scallions, which was quite nice.

"This little guy..." Heath had originally planned to cook, but seeing Farfetch'd still lying on the ground, Heath put down the cooking utensils, gently picked up Farfetch'd, put Snorlax away with a Poké Ball, and then took it into the lounge.

Soroya was staring wide-eyed at the dark red kitten in front of her, which lay motionless on the ground, looking like it was a useless cat.

Heath didn't pay much attention. He let Snorlax out to lie in its usual spot and put Farfetch'd in its special little nest. Then Heath left in a hurry, as he had to rush to entertain Cynthia and Steven.

After Heath left, Zoroya couldn't resist patting the kitten's head with her paw.

"Meow!"

Chapter 376 Pranks

"Do you have a cat?" When Heath came out, he saw Cynthia looking at him with curiosity. Heath was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, and then he remembered the kitten he had just pulled out of the Hoopagin collar. From this point of view, Heath could indeed be considered to have a cat, although this cat was a bit unusual, and Heath always felt that there was something wrong with this cat. You know, although the food identifier had not identified its identity, it had also said that this cat was actually gas. A real cat would not be gas.

It's not Tom, and it can switch between various forms. If this cat were Tom, Heath felt he could probably become rich. Apart from not being able to catch Jerry, Tom is incredibly versatile.

"Maybe?" Heath wasn't sure. He didn't even know what the cat should eat normally, or whether he needed to buy a litter box and cat litter.

Having a cat isn't as simple as just bringing a cute kitten home. There are actually quite a few steps involved. First, you need to choose the right cat. If it were in my past life, I think adoption would be a good option. Then, you need to take the cat to the vet for a check-up and vaccinations. I think it would be better to go to a veterinary hospital if there's one run by an agricultural university in your area.

After the physical examination and vaccinations, I'll need to buy a litter box and a bag of cat litter, which is where the cat goes to the toilet. Then I'll need to buy cat food, scoop the litter box and replenish the cat food every day, and when the cat is old enough, I'll need to take it to be spayed or neutered.

In short, there is a lot to do, but the cat Heath is raising now is not quite the same as ordinary cats, and Heath is not sure how to raise it, so he can only take it one step at a time.

Cynthia's expression became even stranger after hearing this, but she didn't press for details. Instead, she and Daigo discussed some of the events at this year's technology expo. Hiss didn't listen in; instead, he focused on preparing dinner for Cynthia and Daigo.

"Hey, Steven, I heard from that Mr. Senri from your Hoenn region that you have a unique charm when you battle." Cynthia looked at Steven with a smile. Steven rolled his eyes. Although he had only known Cynthia for a day or two, he had already noticed some things about her. That was, this girl was a battle fanatic. She had a mysterious love for Pokémon battles, the kind of love that was absolutely insane.

"Bamboo... Cynthia, why don't you go battle Cynthia? Doesn't he have Pokémon too?" Steven rubbed his temples in exasperation. No matter what the topic was, his conversation with Cynthia always veered towards battles, which left Steven speechless.

“Of course it’s because you’re stronger, Daigo.” Cynthia said matter-of-factly. She had seen Seath’s Pokémon before: an ordinary Farfetch’d, an ordinary Charmeleon, and an ordinary Snorlax. They didn’t seem to be well-bred. Although Charmeleon had a lot of muscles, it hadn’t evolved into its final form, Charizard. So Cynthia really wasn’t interested. Besides, Seath was a chef and didn’t plan to become a trainer. Cynthia felt that if she battled Seath, it would be like bullying him.

"If we're talking about strength, I think that Miss Karune is quite strong too. She has the strength of a champion, and if nothing unexpected happens, she'll become a champion soon." Daigo tried to divert Cynthia's attention, so he mentioned Karune, who had been quite outstanding at the entire technology exhibition today, as well as Karune's strange encounter.

However, Daigo's expression became somewhat strange when Karune was mentioned.

When Karuni was mentioned, Cynthia's expression turned strange. She knew Karuni, after all, the other party was quite famous today, but this fame was rather strange.

This morning, some rather childish pranks occurred at the Carlos region booth where Karune was located. Karune also encountered a series of pranks when she went out this morning. At the beginning, because she was not prepared, she was almost hit on the head with a bucket of paint, which turned her black and gray hair green. If Gardevoir had not reacted in time, Karune would probably still be washing her hair now.

This incident at the technology expo greatly displeased Officer Jenny, who felt it was a direct challenge to their authority as Officer Jenny. She launched an investigation, only to discover that the only suspicious surveillance footage showed Daigo and Cynthia. This was quite interesting, as neither Daigo nor Cynthia had left the premises the previous night, yet the surveillance footage captured them.

“I suspect a special Pokémon has infiltrated our venue. This Pokémon can transform into our appearance,” Cynthia said with certainty. If this were a product of a company at a technology expo, it would definitely be announced beforehand. However, so far, no company has demonstrated this aspect of technology, which greatly increases the possibility that it is a Pokémon.

Pokémon always have some strange abilities. Legend has it that Ho-Oh, a legendary Pokémon, even has the ability to bring the dead back to life. You know, this is resurrection! So many older, wealthy, and powerful people are loyal followers of Ho-Oh, hoping to be resurrected by it. Of course, there are also some madmen who try to capture Ho-Oh at a high price and force it to serve them, but so far no one has succeeded.

The great fire in Enchantress City was caused by people's greed, which also caused Enchantress City to lose Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh never came to that place again. People later built the Bell Tower in the hope of washing away their sins, but Ho-Oh still never went there.

"If it's a Pokémon, there's no way to find it." Steven shrugged helplessly. Cynthia and Steven had helped, but no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find the prankster's true identity. The prankster was very well hidden.

Moreover, it was ultimately just a prank, with no intention of harming or killing anyone, so the matter was dropped after a period of investigation.

"Miss Cynthia, this is your fried rice. Mr. Daigo, this is your braised pork with fried tofu and rice. Please enjoy." Heath came over carrying the dishes for the two guests. He hadn't heard what the two champions had been discussing.

"It smells so good!" Cynthia looked at the fried rice in front of her with delight, then glanced at the braised pork in front of Daigo, and couldn't help but swallow.

What reward should I choose in Chapter 377?

"Would you like one?" Seeing Cynthia swallowing her saliva, Heath asked with amusement. Cynthia immediately nodded. She was indeed craving the braised pork with fried tofu, because the dish smelled delicious and made her mouth water uncontrollably. Heath smiled. Luckily, he had made extra when he made the braised pork with fried tofu. He had originally planned to eat it himself, but seeing how much Cynthia was drooling, Heath still served it to her.

Meanwhile, Daigo had already started eating his meal. He had eaten tofu and pork before, but he had never seen it prepared this way before. So, out of curiosity, Daigo picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. Then, with a gentle bite, the scalding hot broth sprayed directly into Daigo's mouth, causing him to open his mouth wide and exhale heavily, trying to cool down his mouth. Then, the delicious flavor of braised pork broth swept over Daigo's taste buds. Daigo still couldn't bear to spit out the piece of tofu in his mouth.

"This thing is so... unique." Daigo looked at the braised pork with fried tofu in front of him in surprise. He had never eaten such a unique dish before. Heath smiled and then explained the basic way to eat it to Daigo. Heath hadn't said anything before because he wanted Daigo to experience the unique feeling of the braised pork with fried tofu himself. Moreover, Heath had controlled the temperature. Although it would be a little hot, it would definitely not hurt anyone.

Cynthia watched from the sidelines, taking a small bite before also succumbing to the unique flavor. Heath smiled as she looked at Cynthia and Daigo. Although Chinese cuisine is delicious, it's not easy to win over customers. Not to mention that the two countries' eating habits and tastes are completely different, even different provinces in China may not necessarily like each other's dishes.

Therefore, Heath always felt that those novels from his previous life, where the protagonist transmigrates and can casually pick out a Chinese dish and make others exclaim that they live in a culinary wasteland and then love Chinese food to the extreme, were basically nonsense. Even a Cantonese person is unlikely to like a hot pot in Sichuan, let alone in two different worlds. If it weren't for the fact that the food systems in the Pokémon world and his previous life weren't similar, it would have been a difficult problem for Heath to make his guests like these Chinese dishes.

A good chef is not limited to one type of cuisine. Heath now tries to cook according to the customers' requirements for food. Although this is a bit tedious, at least every dish Heath makes will be enjoyed by the customers.

You've had an outstanding day; you can choose one of two rewards to claim.

[A. Receive rewards from all guests served today in turn; the quality of the rewards remains the same.]

[B. All rewards for today's guests have been combined into a single mystery reward, significantly increasing the chances of winning the top prize.]

Heath was taken aback. He had been wondering why he hadn't received the reward he wanted when entertaining the guests today. It turned out that this was what was waiting for him. The description of the cheat was also very simple and easy to understand. In short, if Heath wanted to get all the guests' rewards, he should choose A. If he wanted to try to get the higher-level rewards, he should choose B. Heath didn't hesitate. After all, he knew very well that although choosing A would get him a lot of rewards, the rewards were actually not very good. Heath could guess what kind of things he would get.

It's probably another one like Agility Candy XL. Right now, Farfetch'd needs to eat a lot of candy to increase its stats. This gameplay reminds Heath of the games he played in his previous life, Go Pikachu and Go Eevee. It seems to be the same routine. So even though option B only has one reward, the quality of that reward is definitely much better than these weird things.

After all, one has a large quantity but poor quality, while the other has high quality but low quantity. It's not a difficult choice.

"I choose B." After deciding on his choice, Heath noticed that something seemed to have appeared in his pants. He took it out to examine it and discovered that it was a very peculiar statue that looked like a bird in flight, but the bird was obscured by clouds and mist, making it look somewhat hazy and unclear.

[You have obtained the mysterious reward, the statue of Ifiltal. After placing the statue in your designated area, the chosen area will receive a mysterious blessing, preventing any unauthorized entity from spying on or entering the area (Note: This does not apply to powerful opponents)].

Hiss's lips twitched. This thing was like a weakened version of a protective magic circle. It seemed to have some use, but it was ineffective against powerful opponents. Hiss didn't know what kind of powerful opponents he was referring to. However, with this thing, Hiss was no longer worried about his food truck encountering thieves and robbers. It was better than nothing.

"But when entertaining guests, I won't need to get permission from everyone, right? No, I can just set it to be used in the kitchen and lounge areas." Heath quickly figured out the use of this thing, but whether it was actually useful, and what the standard of this so-called powerful opponent was, was a question worth discussing.

After Cynthia and Daigo finished their meal, they left. Heath had been thinking about going out for a walk, but he was so exhausted that he didn't feel like moving. So, after setting up the area for Iffeltar's statue, Heath yawned and went into his lounge.
