I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Perhaps it was because of Ah Yu's gambling addiction that Heath's food truck didn't see any customers by evening, so Heath took down the "Open for Business" sign. Originally, Heath didn't plan to tell Mr. Lordan about his mother. Heath had a premonition that if he did, Mr. Lordan might keep trying to enter the Reverse World to find his mother, and if he couldn't get in, Heath didn't know if Mr. Lordan would turn evil. There are still bad people in this world, and in American comics, such things are often the trigger for a character to turn evil.

So Heath didn't go to see Mr. Lordan, but instead waited until nightfall and went to the ghost market in Pallet Town, intending to buy the light-sensitive items he needed.

The ghost market in Pallet Town was still the same as before, but Heath saw a few people wearing chef's uniforms in the ghost market, which made Heath feel a little awkward. In fact, chefs don't really like wearing chef's uniforms. They wear them in the kitchen to prevent their clothes from getting dirty, but they usually don't wear them outside the kitchen, just like doctors change into their own casual clothes when they leave the hospital.

People who come out dressed in chef's uniforms seem to be afraid that others won't know they're chefs.

The other person's clothes were quite interesting. Heath saw the sign for the new restaurant in Pallet Town on them, so it seemed that the chef from that new restaurant in Pallet Town had come out to buy groceries.

Heath didn't care too much. He was also a chef, but Heath came to the Ghost Market to buy vegetables, not to fight. Besides, there weren't so many things to do in real life. Heath and the other party just passed each other by. Heath went straight to buy a lot of dried vegetables, spending 20,000 Alliance Coins, which made Heath feel a little pain.

"With so much light exposure, that should be enough for the green onion duck to learn how to cook, right?" Heath stroked his chin. The ingredient detector hadn't been used yet today; he'd check it after the green onion duck was cooked.

Chapter 416 Fragments

“Actually, there’s nothing particularly special to note about the dried green onion, but it just has to be cooked thoroughly. And judging by the current quantity, you’ll need to stir-fry it for at least eight minutes, Green Onion Duck.” Heath looked at the dried green onion that hadn’t been cut yet, and then spoke to Green Onion Duck with a serious expression. Green Onion Duck immediately nodded, its face also looking serious.

Heath glanced at Farfetch'd. Farfetch'd was usually very reliable and took cooking very seriously, with no major flaws, but he did have some issues with controlling the heat.

Heath remembered that when he was cooking leek duck, the biggest challenge was controlling the heat. He seemed to have made some progress later, but occasionally he would cook it half-cooked or burnt it.

"Trainer, Firefire said, should we let it control the heat?" Zoroark's transformed Betty lay on the counter, then rested her chin on her hands and looked at Heath.

Heath glanced at Zoroark, whose current form, Betty, was a fox girl, and quite cute.

“No need.” Heath shook his head. If he could get help from someone else, he would have done it himself long ago. Why go through all this trouble? The task given by the cheat code required Farfetch’s Duck to make it himself, so Heath didn’t have any good ideas.

Zoroark pursed her lips, then looked thoughtfully at Hiss's head. She loved to sit on Hiss's head, but the problem was that she had evolved now, which made Zoroark sigh.

While evolution is a good thing, Zoroark is a little unhappy that it can't stick close to its trainer. Although it can use Phantom to hide its shape, it can't change its weight, and Zoroark can't do anything about it.

Under Heath's supervision, Farfetch'd began its creation. Heath didn't say a word the whole time, just watched quietly. Whether Farfetch'd succeeded or not, she would just have to wait and see if her cheat code would give her a hint.

Before long, a plate of stir-fried green peppers with scallion duck was brought to Heath's table. Heath took a sniff; the rich aroma of the stir-fried green peppers made his mouth water. However, to be on the safe side, Heath took out his ingredient detector.

You have completed the sixth step of Pokémon Chef and obtained 'Oolong Tea'.

Heath was taken aback. This time, they actually gave him oolong tea? But could this even be considered a reward? Or was there something special about this oolong tea?

However, since the cheat code has acknowledged that the mission has been completed, then Farfetch'd's task this time was to eliminate the non-poisonous creatures that would die upon exposure to light. Thinking of this, Heath couldn't help but smile. The reward wasn't the main point; the main point was Farfetch'd's growth, which was what Heath cared about most.

After all, the faster the Farfetch'd grows, the less work Heath will have in the future, and Heath will be able to have some free time. Otherwise, it would be a real hassle not to have a helper in the kitchen.

"Not bad, Farfetch'd, your cooking skills have improved." Heath smiled and ruffled Farfetch'd's head. Farfetch'd grinned and quacked. Heath found it amusing; this little guy's calls were quite varied.

“Oolong tea…” Heath was now experienced enough to know that if he didn’t have it on him, it was in the cabinet. As soon as he opened the cabinet, Heath saw his reward: a bottle of oolong tea. However, the bottle wasn’t very big; Heath estimated it to be about a liter. This made Heath even more curious about what kind of oolong tea it was.

【'Oolong Tea': Although it is called oolong tea and tastes like oolong tea, it has the magical effect of making people drunk and black out with just one sip. It is said that this was mixed by a bartender who used to run a diving club as a front, but was actually a club for alcoholics.】

"...You have so many flaws, I really don't know how to even begin to criticize you..." Heath covered her face. This thing looked so familiar! And the source of this thing looked even more familiar!

However, Hiss quickly calmed down. After all, this was the world of Pokémon, and having such a reward was indeed an interesting thing. However, what Hiss was more concerned about was what kind of magical effect this "getting drunk in one gulp" had.

With that in mind, Heath poured himself a little, just a tiny bit, enough for only one bottle cap.

Heath's alcohol tolerance is quite good. In fact, people who have spent some time in Yunnan Province generally have a good alcohol tolerance. Heath still remembers the nightmare from that time. Heath was drinking in the morning, drinking at noon, drinking in the afternoon, and even drinking at night. This made Heath wonder if the brains of the people in that place were soaked in alcohol.

So Heath's alcohol tolerance is pretty good, this little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, Heath silently took a sip. Hmm, there was no taste of alcohol at all, only the taste of oolong tea, nothing else.

"Well, it's nothing..." Then Heath collapsed to the ground, completely drunk and unconscious.

……

"Ouch... why does my head hurt so much..." Heath clutched his head and got up from the ground. The crisp chirping of birds around him made him more awake. He opened his eyes blankly and saw that he was surrounded by a forest and a meadow. Charmeleon was lying unconscious to the side dressed in women's clothing, Farfetch'd's face was covered in graffiti, and Zoroark was sleeping soundly next to Heath.

"What...what's going on?" Heath looked around blankly, he had no recollection of it at all. But then Heath felt a chill on the top of his head. He turned around and saw Snorlax sleeping behind him, the chill emanating from Snorlax.

Heath rubbed his head. He remembered receiving the reward for the sixth step of Pokémon Chef last night—oolong tea. He took a sip, and then…

"Wow, he really does get drunk after just one drink. But why am I here?" Heath had a headache, the pain of being drunk, but not discomfort, just a simple headache.

“But… ouch…” Heath touched his head, which was a little swollen, and the headache was coming from that spot.

Heath glanced at his phone, then picked it up and looked at it again. It was 11 a.m. the next day. But that wasn't the point. The point was that Heath saw a message on the Sealball communication app on his phone.

“Heath, are you serious?” Cynthia texted.

Chapter 417 This is probably perverted, right?

Let's go back to last night.

"Hey? Trainer! Trainer! What's wrong with you?" Zoroark quickly ran to Hiss's side, then grabbed Hiss's arm and shook it, but Hiss was unresponsive. It has to be said that the oolong tea produced by Golden Finger is really effective.

"It looks like it's drunk." Charmeleon leaned over for a look and then said calmly. Farfetch'd also came over with its own stir-fried dish, and it was eating the dish it had cooked. It has to be said that the dish tasted really good, and Farfetch'd especially liked it.

"You know what?" Zoroark looked shocked. Is this what drunkenness is like? But according to the novels, wouldn't drunkenness lead to some terrible things, like making the sheets wet and heavy, or causing males to become completely exhausted? But it seems that there is only one human here, the trainer.

Charmeleon nodded, then glanced away; it really didn't want to recall the terrible things that had happened before.

"How did you know?" Zoroark asked curiously.

"...That's a memory I don't want to recall." Charizard's claws shot out, and he spoke in a low voice. Zoroark seemed to be deep in thought. Come to think of it, Zoroark did see a faint smell of alcohol on the human who wanted to be tortured by Charizard during that time.

However, Zoroark didn't care too much. After all, Firefly was his comrade now, not someone else's. Zoroark didn't want to reopen his comrade's wounds; that would be too stupid.

But then, Zoroark's gaze fell on the oolong tea beside him. Zoroark remembered that Hiss had become like this after drinking this. Could this be the legendary wine?

"Firefire~ Green onion, big guy! Come here!" Zoroark excitedly took down the oolong tea and then put it aside. Charmeleon couldn't help but sigh. Although it didn't know what Zoroark was planning to do, for some reason, Charmeleon had an uneasy premonition.

"Let's drink this together." Zoroark opened the bottle, and a pleasant aroma of oolong tea wafted out.

"Why do we have to drink this?" Farfetch'd was a little confused, while Snorlax didn't care. For Snorlax, anything was fine to drink; the only difference was whether Snorlax wanted to drink it or not.

"I refuse." Charmeleon said decisively. It had also noticed how Heath had fallen. Although it didn't know why, it was obvious that something was wrong with the oolong tea.

"Oh dear, I remember the one I met before who liked to use a whip on..." Zoroark said strangely, Charizard covering his face. He should have just run headfirst into that person's house back then.

Under Zoroark's coercion and enticement, Charmeleon reluctantly agreed, Farfetch'd thought it wouldn't hurt to drink some tea and agreed as well, and Snorlax didn't object at all. So the four little guys each poured a bottle capful of oolong tea and then took a sip together.

Snorlax looked at the small bottle cap in front of it, somewhat conflicted. It couldn't taste anything at all, after all, it was just too small. Snorlax holding it was like Shaquille O'Neal holding a regular mineral water bottle cap, instantly turning it into a blue bottle of oral liquid.

[Oolong Tea: Although it is called oolong tea and tastes like oolong tea, it has the magical effect of making people drunk and black out with just one sip. It is said that this was mixed by a bartender who used to run a diving club as a front, but was actually a club for alcoholics.]

Although this oolong tea wasn't exactly respectable, its effects were still guaranteed. However, it was clear that making someone drunk and causing them to black out meant it couldn't necessarily make a non-human being drunk and black out. And obviously, Pokémon weren't human, so after taking a sip, all four little guys got drunk.

"Charmeleon, how can you not dress as a girl! You're a girl!" Zoroark grabbed Charmeleon's neck indignantly. Charmeleon took a deep breath, but it was already a little out of its mind.

"I'm a super powerful female!" Charmeleon roared, drawing laughter from Farfetch'd. To prove itself, Charmeleon carried Heath and staggered out, intending to find the Pidgeot it had seen during the day to fight and demonstrate its strength.

Farfetch'd and Snorlax also wobbled away after Charmeleon, while Zoroark disappeared somewhere.

However, Charizard got lost as they walked. Zoroark, who arrived late, excitedly put a piece of women's clothing on Charizard, which he had somehow acquired. Charizard didn't want to wear it, but as the wind blew, the dizziness intensified, and Charizard collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Heath was also knocked to the ground, bumping her head and getting a big bump.

"Tch~ No...no fun~" Zoroark hiccuped, but its head was starting to spin, as if it had been thrown into a washing machine and spun around tens of thousands of times.

"Let's play... hiccup... cards..." Zoroark pulled out another deck of cards from somewhere. Just then, Hiss's phone, which had fallen outside, lit up. Zoroark picked it up curiously, glanced at it, pressed a few buttons, and then tossed it onto the grass. He then forcibly dragged Snorlax and Farfetch'd to play cards with him. After that, the three little guys all collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.

……

"...So, you're saying you were completely unaware that your Charizard was wearing Miss Joy's lost women's clothing?" Officer Samantha covered her face and asked with a heavy expression. Heath nodded painfully.

He was just wondering why Cynthia would suddenly say that, but just as Heath was about to see what she said, an Arcanine pinned him down, and then Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy came over aggressively. They looked at Heath, who was pinned down on the grass, and Charmeleon dressed as Nurse Joy.

"Oh, Moe, I told you, Heath is definitely not that kind of person." Nurse Joy didn't care at all. She was washing her clothes in her Pokémon Center with a smile. Heath was also brought over because Nurse Joy found that Heath's Pokémon seemed to be drunk.

"It's precisely because I know that I would have already executed the pervert who stole your clothes." Officer Sam rolled her eyes, but she still couldn't understand why a Charmeleon would want to wear women's clothing. Fortunately, Miss Joy checked and confirmed that this Charmeleon was indeed female.

Chapter 418 Highway!

"It's best to drink this stuff less often in the future." Heath looked at the bottle of oolong tea in his hand. This stuff was too effective at making people drunk. Heath felt that no one could withstand it. However, from a certain perspective, this kind of alcohol might sometimes be useful. For example, if Heath were kidnapped by a group of bad guys, he could escape their control by making them drink oolong tea and get drunk.

However, Heath felt that he would probably never encounter such a thing in his life.

"It's about time to leave Pallet Town." Heath yawned. He first put all his Pokémon into their Poké Balls, then went to the market to buy some ingredients and seasonings. He then slowly led his Pokémon back to his food truck. However, as soon as he got to the food truck, Heath was surprised to see a familiar Pokémon: Mew.

Dream squinted at Heath, who scratched his head awkwardly. He had seen Dream before in Blazetown, but Heath had only stayed there for a day and then forgot to tell Dream. It seemed that Dream had come knocking on his door.

Fortunately, Heath is in the Kanto region, specifically in Pallet Town, so Mew probably hasn't been looking for long. Otherwise, Mew would definitely be grumbling about his dissatisfaction right now.

"Um... I'm going to Dark Grey City later, do you want to come with me?" Heath looked at Mew and asked uncertainly. Mew immediately nodded and then pointed to its stomach. Heath immediately understood what Mew wanted to say.

It seems this little guy is planning to come with me, but he'll definitely need to eat something first, which is normal. Heath feels that Dream cares a lot about breakfast, but he rarely eats lunch or dinner at Heath's place.

“Okay, let me set up autopilot.” Heath hesitated for a moment in the cockpit. There are actually two routes from Pallet Town to Phantom Grey City. One route is the most traditional one, which starts from Pallet Town, passes through Evergreen City, and then arrives at Phantom Grey City. The other route is more special.

The Pokémon world is very large, which is crucial. The Kanto League covers a very large area, resulting in a wide distance between each town. Therefore, in addition to the most basic roads, the Kanto League has another network of roads that connects the major towns, except for LavaCity.

After all, Lavatown is quite a distance from Pallet Town, so there is no highway built in Lavatown. Heath thinks another reason is the volcanic problem in Lavatown. Heath remembers that after Ash started his adventures for a while, Lavatown seemed to be destroyed by a volcanic eruption, and even Blaine's gym was moved to another place.

Given that this place could be destroyed at any moment, it's not surprising that the Alliance doesn't want to build a highway in Blazetown.

Pallet Town is within this highway network. If Heath gets on the highway from Pallet Town, the time to reach Deep Grey City can be greatly shortened, and it will only take a short while. However, if he passes through Evergreen City and takes the dirt road, the time required will more than double.

After thinking it over, Heath decided to take the highway. He planned to go to Evergreen City after his trip was over.

Having set the target point and route for the autonomous driving system, Heath couldn't help but touch his phone. Just now, he checked his communication with Cynthia. Last night, Cynthia sent Heath a message asking what he was doing, and then 'Heath' replied.

I'm hosting a fun party with lots of females and males.

Then came Cynthia's message, "Are you serious?" Hiss's lips twitched when he saw it. But after seeing this, Hiss roughly understood what had happened last night. In Hiss's opinion, these little guys must have taken advantage of his drunkenness to drink some oolong tea and then got drunk themselves. After all, they looked pretty much the same as Hiss, with no difference.

After all, it's impossible for Heath to have said such things as male and female. Heath could only say that he was drunk yesterday and his phone was accidentally tapped a few times by a passing Psychic Pokémon. As for whether Cynthia believed him or not, Heath wasn't sure.

"It must have been sent by Zoroark, right?" Heath yawned, then went to the kitchen and began preparing what Mew wanted to eat that day.

The taste of the dream is very average. It can only be said that most people's tastes are average. It is rare to find guests with strong or special tastes. Heath served so many Yoshida guests at the technology exhibition, but only a few hundred people had particularly special tastes. Although it seems like a lot, you should know that there are many more people with average tastes.

Soon, Heath prepared a steaming bowl of beef noodles for Dream, which smelled delicious. Seeing Dream enjoying the food, Heath couldn't help but smile. Then Heath felt the food truck stop. He went to the driver's seat and took a look. He had arrived at the highway toll station in Pallet Town. The highways in this world were similar to those in China in his previous life, and there was a toll requirement.

However, according to the alliance's requirements, all the tolls collected on the highway would be used for highway maintenance and labor costs, so the price wasn't very high. Heath readily paid the money and then drove his food truck onto the highway.

"Hmm... I remember the sign ahead, it should say the minimum speed limit is 130, right?" Heath looked at the sign on the highway and his lips twitched.

Goodness, he had only heard that the speed limit was 130, but the speed could not be lower than 130. This reminded Heath of Germany in his previous life, where there were no speed limits on highways and you could drive as fast as you wanted.

Fortunately, Heath's food truck had an automatic driving function, so Heath only needed to set the speed requirement. Then, Heath yawned and planned to go back to his lounge to rest. After the hangover, Heath still felt a little uncomfortable in his head.

"Wait... isn't Mew a Psychic-type Pokémon!" Heath suddenly realized something, and then he couldn't wait to run into his lounge, take out a bunch of heather from a small refrigerator on the balcony, and then, enduring the peculiar smell, brought the heather to the dining area of ​​the restaurant.

"Dreamlike!" Heath exclaimed excitedly.
