The chicken livers slowly changed color on Heath's grill, releasing an enticing aroma. Heath didn't add oil, since the added net-like fat was for that purpose. Heath calmly sprinkled some of his secret barbecue seasoning on top, and an even richer aroma followed. Heath couldn't help but touch his nose; the aroma was indeed very tempting. Lugia even cast several glances at him, making Heath feel a bit pressured.
After a while, once he was sure the liver was ready to eat, Heath picked up six skewers of liver and handed them to Lugia. Lugia eagerly took them, then picked up a skewer of liver and took a bite. The aroma of the fat instantly burst forth, and the first thing his taste buds experienced was Heath's secret seasoning. The flavor was excellent, and combined with the unique aroma of the liver, it made Lugia unable to stop eating, giving him an urge to have a couple more bites after finishing the first one.
Seeing Lugia enjoying his meal, Heath couldn't help but smile. Indeed, only delicious food could make people easily forget those frightening and painful things. Heath had thought about these kinds of questions before, such as what happens after people die. But after coming to this world and seeing another side of it, Heath's heart was no longer filled with so much fear. After all, death in this world is not an end, but rather a new journey.
"But isn't it precisely because life is so short that it becomes so wonderful?" Histo pondered, stroking his chin. He remembered reading in popular science that humans are self-destructive because a normal person's cells can only divide a certain number of times before automatically dying. So, wanting to live longer is a very difficult problem. In his previous life, only death was absolutely fair, because no matter who you are, you will die sooner or later, there is no difference.
Lugia finished eating quickly and happily paid Heath for the meal. However, this time the payment surprised Heath because Lugia gave her a crystal-like object that looked like a drop of water. But Heath knew what it was: the Mysterious Droplet.
This is a magical item that can be carried to increase the power of Pokémon's Water-type moves in battle. The price varies depending on the quality. Heath had seen such an item in a department store before, but that one didn't look as good as this one.
You entertained Lugia, and you received a Water Affinity Potion.
[Hydrophilic Agent: After taking this, you can absorb some oxygen when you are in water.]
Heath paused for a moment. Another strange but seemingly useless item had been added to the collection. However, it was still quite good. At least it could increase the time he could hold his breath underwater, so he could hold his breath for longer and wouldn't have to worry about accidentally drowning. But Heath wasn't going on a sea voyage, so there were very few places where this thing could be used.
"I don't recall any theatrical version featuring a tsunami, right?" Heath stroked his chin. This stuff tasted quite sweet, like strawberry, but he didn't feel anything after drinking it, just like drinking a sip of water. Heath didn't pay much attention to it. Although it was useless, it did enhance his physical abilities, which might come in handy in the future.
After seeing Lugia off, Heath yawned and dragged his tired body back to his lounge. He barely managed to wash up while still sleepy, then lay down on the bed. He was completely exhausted. Meanwhile, Zoroark was already asleep on the lounge floor, with the TV still on. Heath even went to turn it off.
As for Charmeleon, Snorlax, and Farfetch'd, they slept soundly, adopting all sorts of strange sleeping positions. However, Heath didn't pay much attention, since his sleeping position wasn't particularly good either. As soon as he lay down on the bed, Heath fell into a deep sleep without any reaction.
……
"Trainer! Trainer!" Zoroark's urgent voice rang in Hiss's mind. Hiss, who had been dreaming about his past life, instantly became more awake. He opened his eyes blankly. It was still pitch black outside the food truck. Hiss yawned, picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was 3:30 in the morning. Hiss looked at Zoroark with a hostile expression. If this little guy couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, then Hiss would definitely let this little guy experience what it meant to be in agony and what it meant to be cruel.
"Trainer, Trainer, today is the once-in-a-millennium Arceus meteor shower!" Zoroark was extremely excited. Hiss was stunned for a second, then lay down on the bed. Let alone once-in-a-millennium, even once-in-ten-thousand-years or once-in-a-hundred-million-years, Hiss wouldn't be interested in anything. It's just a meteor shower, right? Even if the meteor shower were to fall on Earth, Hiss wouldn't be interested in anything. He just wanted to sleep.
Zoroark was a little anxious. This was the perfect opportunity in many novels to confess feelings or advance the relationship between the male and female protagonists—the Arceus meteor shower, a trope widely criticized by readers as a once-in-a-millennium cliché! But if her trainer didn't take her, Zoroark would have to go alone. However, after taking only a few steps, Zoroark couldn't help but yawn. Oh well, she'd better sleep a little longer…
As a result, Hiss was woken up again by the falling Zoroark. Looking at this guy who only had an AC number even after evolving, Hiss rolled his eyes helplessly. Did this guy forget about his evolution? Hiss could accept Zoroark's weight, but this was Zoroark's weight, and Hiss felt that he could not accept Zoroark's weight.
Left with no other choice, Hiss got up and went to the toilet. After he finished, Hiss became much more awake. He had a strange habit: once he got up, it was hard for him to fall back asleep for a while. Looking at the soundly sleeping Zoroark, Hiss nudged it, but the little guy was still asleep. Hiss shook his head helplessly and then silently took out his Poké Ball.
Heath put away all his Pokémon, then looked at Little Red who was still sleeping, didn't disturb the little cat, changed his clothes and went outside.
Heath remembered that there was a great spot to watch meteor showers in Green Ridge City, and since he couldn't sleep anyway, he decided to go check it out.
"Heath?" As soon as Heath stepped outside, he saw a girl in white, it was Cynthia.
Chapter 392 Meteor Shower
"Miss Cynthia? What brings you out here?" Hiss looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise. He really didn't expect to see Cynthia so late at night. When he saw Cynthia before, Hiss thought that Gardevoir, who liked to play pranks, had come to mess with him again. After all, Gardevoir had come to prank Hiss before, letting Hiss experience the joy of a horror game.
"Of course, I'm going to see the Arceus meteor shower!" Cynthia said with a smile. She was wearing a white dress and white shoes, which made her skin look even whiter. Heath couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw her. Why did Cynthia seem even more charming at night?
Heath touched his nose. Although he had guessed that some people might get up to watch the meteor shower, he did not expect to run into Cynthia. What a coincidence!
"I'm going too... Miss Cynthia, where are you planning to watch the meteor shower? The rocket launch center?" Heath asked Cynthia curiously. In Green Moss City, Heath thought the best place to watch the meteor shower was the rocket launch center. After all, in the game, the player also watched the meteor shower in Green Moss City and developed some romantic feelings with his nemesis.
Unexpectedly, Cynthia shook her head. Then, she smiled and pointed in a direction. Heath looked in that direction, which seemed to be the direction of the sea.
"I'm not going to any rocket launch center. There are bound to be tons of people going there to watch the meteor shower. I'm going to go there to see the meteor shower!" Cynthia said proudly. Heath could tell from her face that Cynthia was in a great mood. Heath touched his nose and then followed her. Although Heath wasn't particularly interested in meteor showers, he couldn't sleep anyway, so he decided to go with Cynthia to take a look.
Walking on the streets in the early morning, feeling the sea breeze, Heath felt much more energetic. Beside Heath was Cynthia, who was curiously looking around. She had six Poké Balls hanging from her waist. The sea breeze blew through Cynthia's hair, and she couldn't help but reach out and tuck the hair that had blown across her face behind her ear.
"What's wrong?" Cynthia noticed Hiss's gaze, and she turned her head slightly to look at Hiss, her eyes filled with doubt and inquiry.
"...It's nothing, I just find it quite interesting to be out so late at night." Heath smiled and continued walking slowly down the street. This was the first time Heath had ever seen Green Ridge City at night. There were hardly any people on the streets, and the few who were there were driving towards the rocket launch center, probably astronomy enthusiasts. Heath felt that if Zoroark hadn't woken him up, he probably wouldn't have come out on his own.
After all, Heath was almost exhausted by then. It was only because Zoroark woke him up and he got up to go to the bathroom that he didn't feel sleepy anymore. Otherwise, Heath felt that he would probably be asleep by now.
“Every city, every place, every life has its own encounters, and I’ve always found that very interesting.” Miss Cynthia said with a smile. She walked briskly ahead of Heath with her hands behind her back, humming a little tune and skipping along. Heath couldn’t help but laugh. Miss Cynthia’s walking posture was like that of a child, the kind that skips along.
However, Cynthia's stamina is quite good. They have already reached the woods, but Cynthia has not fallen.
"Miss Cynthia is an archaeologist, right? What are your thoughts on the history of your Sinnoh region, Miss Cynthia?" Heath looked at the cheerful Cynthia and felt a little more relaxed. He asked curiously. Although Cynthia occasionally appeared at archaeological sites or other places in the games, Heath's deepest impression of Cynthia was still from Pokémon battles. Cynthia's Pokémon were all very strong.
In addition, leveling up was quite difficult during the Diamond and Rare era, so many people were not very high level when they reached Cynthia, and it was normal for them to get beaten. Therefore, it earned the title of the most difficult champion. However, it is actually quite simple as long as players play online more and grind more.
"Sinnoh, when it comes to the Sinnoh region, it seems impossible to avoid the Time-Space Twins. However, some recent research seems to have revealed what the Sinnoh region used to be like. We've discovered some very interesting fossils." Cynthia's relaxed tone came from the front. She was genuinely interested in history; otherwise, she wouldn't have studied so much. After becoming the Champion, Cynthia also gained the opportunity to enter various regions of Sinnoh and access all kinds of documents, which made her very happy.
Hiss stroked his chin. He thought that the Sinnoh region used to be called the Green Region, and that the Green Region contained King Pokémon, as well as some Ancient Pokémon and so on. This information came from Arceus, the innovative sequel to Pokémon, which was a change from the traditional Pokémon gameplay and was quite interesting.
“We discovered that Growlithe had a different form back then, but as it evolved, Growlithe’s form changed a bit.” Cynthia continued, and Hiss listened quietly. But after a while, Cynthia stopped talking and happily ran over. Hiss was stunned for a moment, then followed Cynthia’s steps.
When Cynthia stopped, Heath finally stopped, panting.
"Ta-da! This is it!" Cynthia happily twirled around in front of Hiss. Hiss looked up and realized that they had unknowingly run out of the forest. What greeted Hiss's eyes was a clear night sky dotted with a few stars. Cynthia was standing smiling in front of him, and a gentle breeze was blowing through her hair and skirt.
Behind Cynthia was a tree, and beyond that, the sea. Heath was now standing on a grassy field, surrounded by blooming flowers. Heath was momentarily stunned.
"It's truly... a magnificent sight." Heath exclaimed in admiration. This scene was like a poem, a painting, but when it appeared here, it possessed a breathtaking beauty that captivated and amazed people.
Chapter 393 Making a Wish
Heath sat on the cushion that Cynthia had brought out. The cushion was long enough for three or four people to sit together, which made Heath feel much more comfortable. If it was only big enough for one person, Heath felt that she would most likely have chosen to sit on the grass, thus avoiding some minor trouble.
"Isn't the scenery beautiful?" Cynthia put down her camera, turned around with a smile and asked. Heath nodded. The scenery here was indeed beautiful: a clear night sky, a meteor shower streaking across the sky, a refreshing sea breeze, and the fragrance of grass and flowers. Heath thought this was probably the main reason why many people would go on trips, after all, traveling is a very interesting thing.
Seeing different scenery, experiencing the local customs and culture, and enjoying local delicacies is really great.
Heath glanced at the DSLR camera that Cynthia had placed to the side. Heath remembered that this camera was a Tutu brand camera, which was extremely expensive. A single lens could sell for tens or hundreds of thousands of Alliance Coins. It was also known as the dream sports car among DSLR cameras. The most expensive DSLR camera set was enough to buy a sports car. It seemed that Cynthia was quite rich. No wonder she could order food casually.
Looking at the meteor shower in the sky and then at Cynthia beside him, Hiss scratched his head. Hiss had originally planned to let Zoroark and his Pokémon watch the meteor shower together when he came out, but after Hiss just tried to find out that Zoroark and the others were already asleep, which left Hiss speechless. That little Zoroark was the loudest, but it was also the loudest sleeping.
"Heath, speaking of which, if you could see a legendary Pokémon, which one would you most like to see?" Cynthia asked abruptly, hugging her knees and gazing absently at the shooting stars in the night sky.
Hiss was stunned when he heard the question. He really didn't expect Cynthia to ask him this question. However, when he thought about meeting legendary Pokémon, Hiss felt that he didn't have a very high desire for them. After all, he had already seen many legendary Pokémon, whether it was Palkia, Dialga, Ho-Oh, Lugia, or even Deoxys. In Hiss's opinion, those tall and mighty legendary Pokémon that ordinary people see might actually be flesh-and-blood people with their own personalities in reality.
Ho-Oh is a bit of a tsundere, Lugia can be sentimental at times and ask some very philosophical questions, and Dialga seems to like cooking, which is quite strange.
"Arceus, I guess." After thinking for a moment, Hiss gave his answer. Hess felt that Arceus was the most likely person to know about his transmigration. After all, Arceus was the creator god of the Pokémon world. Having witnessed the power of legendary Pokémon, Hiss didn't think that this creator god was as weak as he was portrayed in the anime. Creation was no ordinary thing, and Arceus was definitely the strongest being in the Pokémon world.
Perhaps only Ultra Necrozma can be compared to Arceus, but the situation in the Ultra World is still an unsolved mystery. Moreover, the power comparisons in games and anime can only be used as a reference. Heath felt that if he viewed Pokémon and those famous figures with the preconceived notions from games and anime, he would be making a big mistake. Just look at Giovanni. Giovanni is now a perfect Gym Leader, a very charismatic and powerful person.
“The Creator God…” Cynthia blinked. She remembered that she had recently discovered something very interesting on Mount Crown, but it was still under research and investigation by the Alliance and could not be announced for the time being. However, if the research was true, then Mount Crown might become a holy site, because it might be the place closest to the Creator God.
"Hey Hiss, if you have the chance, would you like to travel to the Sinnoh region?" Cynthia suddenly turned her head and asked. Hiss hesitated for a second after hearing the question, but still nodded. If he finished traveling in the Kanto region, he might indeed go to other places, but he would definitely go to the Hoenn region first and then to Sinnoh.
"When you come to the Sinnoh region, I'll take you to Mt. Coronet. It's a really interesting place," Cynthia said with a smile, hugging her legs. Cynthia agreed, but when they would go to the Sinnoh region was still a question.
After the conversation ended, Heath felt the atmosphere was a little awkward. He glanced at Cynthia out of the corner of his eye. Cynthia was breathtakingly beautiful today, with her long eyelashes, beautiful pale gold eyes, and delicate features. Heath felt a strange flutter in his heart.
"Is it beautiful?" Cynthia suddenly asked again. Heath quickly looked away and then awkwardly looked at the meteor shower in the sky, which had now become much less frequent.
"Beautiful." Heath nodded. This meteor shower was indeed quite beautiful, possessing a unique aesthetic.
Cynthia burst out laughing. She laughed heartily, hugging her legs and laughing loudly. Heath was a little confused; he didn't quite understand why Cynthia was suddenly laughing like that.
"I heard that you can make a wish when a shooting star streaks across the sky. Do you want to make a wish?" Cynthia wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, then put her hands together and closed her eyes. Heath scratched his head and then followed suit and closed his eyes as well.
But when it came to making a wish, Heath didn't know what to wish for. His debts had been paid off, and now Heath was free of debt. In addition, he had a cheat ability, so Heath really didn't know what to wish for.
"Never mind, I hope... I hope I can end my single life." Heath thought of Cynthia from just now, her heart warmed, and she subconsciously made a wish in her heart.
You have completed the special achievement: Jirachi of the Wishing Star.
Jirachi of the Wishing Star: Let Jirachi feel your feelings when you make a wish.
You have received a special achievement reward: one special lottery ticket.
Hiss was taken aback. Good grief, coming out to watch a meteor shower can lead to a mission? But Jirachi? Is there a Jirachi here? Hiss remembered that Jirachi was a very special Pokémon with the ability to grant wishes, practically a wish-granting magic.
But how about fulfilling your own wish?
Heath opened his eyes and saw Cynthia beside him still making a wish with her hands clasped together. It seemed she hadn't finished making her wish yet.
Chapter 394 Explosive Passenger Flow
Heath went back to sleep. Although this meteor shower was very famous and well-known, it actually didn't last very long, and there was no dramatic story of a meteorite falling in front of Heath and him being able to sell it for money. It ended just like that, uneventfully.
However, Hiss did see some interesting things. For example, during the meteor shower, there were green meteors flying across the sky. Every time a green meteor touched the meteor shower, the meteor shower would disappear. Hiss couldn't help but laugh. Of course, he knew what these green meteors were. Apart from Rayquaza, there probably weren't any other Pokémon that could be them, since Rayquaza is a Pokémon that likes to eat meteors.
To Rayquaza, today's meteor shower was probably a giant buffet, with plenty of delicious meteorites to eat anytime, anywhere. Heath even suspected that Rayquaza might fly into outer space to eat meteorites, thus reducing the number of meteorites falling in this area.
It was obvious that Cynthia knew the story of Rayquaza, so she happily told Hiss about Rayquaza. Hiss pretended not to know and patiently listened to Cynthia's explanation of Rayquaza. As for Cynthia's wish, Hiss didn't ask, since wishes might not come true if spoken aloud.
After Heath returned to his dining car, he didn't even bother to check the time. He hurriedly lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep, sleeping until eight in the morning. When Heath groggily opened his sleepy eyes, the sunlight was already shining through the dining car window onto his face. Heath rubbed his eyes, yawned, and sat up.
"Ah, it's about time to prepare the ingredients for today's guests." Heath stretched. The ingredients he bought last night made things much easier for him now. At least he didn't have to drive the food truck out to buy groceries. He could just start preparing today's dishes directly.
"Trainer, you woke up really late today." Zoroark looked shocked when he was released. Farfetch'd and Charmeleon nodded in agreement; Heath had indeed been unusually late today.
Little Red lay on the sofa in the lounge and glanced at Heath. It knew yesterday that Heath had gone out last night and didn't return for more than an hour. However, Little Red wasn't interested in what Heath had gone out to do. It was more interested in what kind of food Heath planned to make for it today.
"I went out to watch the meteor shower yesterday," Heath said calmly, taking his Pokémon with him to the bathroom to begin his daily routine.
"Meteor Shower! Is that the Arceus Meteor Shower?! Why didn't you call me, Trainer?!" Zoroark was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily. Hiss's lips twitched, and then he couldn't help but punch Zoroark on the head.
"You woke me up yesterday, and then you woke me up again, but when I called you to get up, you were sleeping like a log. What could I do?!" Heath glared at Zoroark. This guy really had the nerve to say that. If Zoroark hadn't woken him up yesterday, Heath felt he could have gotten up at the normal time today. Why would he have slept until this hour? If you didn't know better, you'd think Heath was still in Pallet Town, since only Pallet Town had this kind of wake-up time.
"Huh? Really?" Zoroark looked bewildered. Heath took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to make fox meat soup today, and then began her washing up. But speaking of which, Mew still hasn't come looking for us. I wonder if it's because the distance is too far.
The thought of being discovered by Mew when he returned, and the mournful look in Mew's eyes, made Heath gasp. It was terrifying. He wondered if the statue could stop Mew from entering. Heath thought this was a test, since he still didn't know how powerful the powerful enemy the statue was talking about really was.
After washing up, Heath took the green onion duck to the kitchen to start preparing for the day. The science exhibition was going to start at the hotel, so the time was a bit tight and there was basically no time left. However, it was good to prepare in advance. But before Heath could prepare much, it was already nine o'clock. Heath could only open the door of the food cart and start preparing to serve today's guests.
"Heath, why are you up so late today?" The first person to come in was Miss Nami. Heath figured Miss Nami was probably already standing outside the food cart waiting for him to open the door.
"I went to see the meteor shower last night," Heath explained calmly. At that moment, Zoroark's illusion, Betty, popped out and greeted Heath and Nami with great enthusiasm. Heath nodded at Zoroark's happy expression. It had to be said that although Zoroark was a bit mischievous, she was very serious when it came to important matters. Moreover, the waitresses she created were quite professional, and Heath didn't receive any complaints from customers about finding hair in their food.
“Arceus Meteor Shower? No wonder.” Miss Nami instantly understood. At this moment, Charmeleon and Snorlax also came out. They would probably be very busy today, after all, they were already extremely busy yesterday. Snorlax didn’t even want to throw up ice anymore.
"Heath, your business is going to be very good today," Miss Nami said with a smile. Heath was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Miss Nami strangely. What did Miss Nami mean by that?
Miss Nami proudly pulled out a newspaper. Heath took it and glanced at it with a puzzled look. It had a picture of his food truck on it, and the headline was something like, "[Technological Restaurant at the Tech Expo! Pokémon Can Be Chefs?]" After reading it, Heath felt a chill run down his spine. No wonder Miss Nami said that; he had essentially been given free publicity.
The next second, before Heath could say anything, a bunch of guests surged forward. Heath took a deep breath and swallowed back what he wanted to say. Now was not the time to say anything; he could only do his best to entertain the guests.
"Welcome to the Pokémon Restaurant! If you want hot dogs, please line up on the left. If you want shaved ice, please line up on the right. All other customers, please line up here with me," Heath shouted quickly. The customers in front of him soon began to flow in different directions, but even so, the customers still filled Heath's food cart.
Chapter 395 Eating Hot Pot!
Heath was incredibly busy, feeling like he was about to fly. Today was the last day of the technology expo, so there were a lot of visitors. With so many visitors, Heath's food cart, which was both an exhibit at the expo and a recent internet sensation, became incredibly popular, making Heath's scalp tingle. Even though Heath was constantly serving guests, and Zoroark's conjured Betty and Miss Name were also serving guests non-stop, the guests still kept coming. Heath was almost going crazy with all the work.
However, there was also good news: Heath's Chef's Eye quest progress had increased rapidly, which made Heath a little happier. Being able to improve the quest progress was a good thing, and Heath was quite happy, after all, he was also very curious about what kind of bonus effect this advanced Chef's Eye could give him.
Heath was busy until 5:12 PM. The reason he was so busy was that all the ingredients he had bought yesterday had been used up, so he had to close early. He then asked Miss Nami to show the guests around the food truck. As for Heath, he lay down on his bed in his lounge. He was too tired to lift his arms. However, seeing that there was no notification of mission rewards yet, Heath knew that more guests might come later.
