I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

After returning to the Officers' dormitory, Heath prepared dinner for them. Although it was a bit late, Heath cooked very quickly, so it was still in time.

After finishing dinner, Heath sat down opposite Officer Jenny, pondering how to talk to her about the previous Aqua Team officer.

“By the way, Heath, after hearing that you came to Dark Grey City, Feng is planning to organize an exchange activity and bring some colleagues from Evergreen City to visit and see you.” Officer Jenny spoke up first. Heath was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He really didn’t expect that Sister Feng would plan to come to Dark Grey City. However, thinking of this, Heath’s expression softened. Sister Feng probably wanted to see him, so she came. You know, usually it was Officer Jenny from Dark Grey City who went to Evergreen City for exchanges.

Because of Feng Jie's upcoming visit, Heath's mood improved considerably. He just didn't know how long it would take. As for the Aqua Team, Heath hesitated for a moment but decided to talk to Jing Jie about it. Of course, he couldn't directly tell her that he knew the identity of an Aqua Team officer, so he could only try to find out indirectly.

"Sister Jing, speaking of which, I met a very interesting guest today." Heath casually chatted with Jun Sha Jing about his own affairs. Jun Sha Jing seemed quite interested in it, and Heath didn't know why, but Jun Sha Jing seemed very envious of Heath's ability to entertain guests.

"What kind of guest?" Officer Jenny listened with great interest.

"Well, I met a girl, she's quite pretty, but this girl really likes spicy food..." Heath knew Officer Jenny's psychology well. After all, Heath had lived with Officer Jenny for four whole years. He knew very well what kind of things could be very unintentional, but could still arouse Officer Jenny's confusion and curiosity.

So Heath picked out some things that would easily arouse the suspicion of Officer Jenny, such as the girl being very wary, as if she were being stalked, and the girl having a tattoo on her wrist that she inadvertently showed, and so on. Sure enough, Officer Jenny was all smiles at first, but after listening for a while, her expression became much more serious.

"Do you know that girl's name?" Officer Jenny was much more serious now. Heath nodded. He mentioned earlier that he had seen the girl's name tag, so he gave her the name Kazumi.

Officer Jenny left quickly, and Heath saw her off with a smile. Although he didn't know if the officers of the Aqua Team would soon slip up, Heath had made the Officers notice this woman. Now it was Officer Jenny's turn to deal with her. Heath had done all he could.

Heath yawned. He had basically finished his business for the day. Now he just had to see what would happen next. If he could catch Kazumi, that would be a good thing.

Back on his food cart, Heath picked up Little Red and stroked its belly. Little Red meowed reluctantly, but Heath chuckled and rubbed its head. Over the course of their time together, Heath had discovered more of Little Red's unique traits. For example, although this cat ate, it didn't use the litter box; it only ate and didn't poop, just like a mythical creature.

However, apart from that, this little guy basically has all the characteristics of a cat. Although Heath felt that the other party was not an ordinary cat, but at the very least a Pokémon, Heath did not know Little Red's true identity at the moment, so he could only raise it as a cat for the time being.

"It's about time to sleep..." Heath yawned and pushed open the door to his bedroom, where he saw Dream lying on his bed, engrossed in reading a comic book.

Heath glanced at his phone; the time was...

It was evening, definitely not morning.

"Dream?" Heath was a little surprised. Although Heath and Dream had known each other for a while, Dream usually only came over in the morning to freeload, and then left as soon as he was done. But Dream had never come to Heath's food truck at night.

Dream waved the comic book in her hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and then she vanished, along with the comic book. Heath stared in disbelief.

"Has Mew... taken a liking to reading comics?" Heath stared blankly at the spot where Mew had disappeared. Fortunately, Zoroark had already finished reading that book, so it wasn't a big deal.

Chapter 435 He Mei's Identity

The next morning, Heath got out of bed. He had slept very soundly that night and hadn't dreamed much. It seemed as if he had just fallen asleep and when he opened his eyes again, it was already now. The good sleep had also made Heath feel much better.

"Good morning, Farfetch'd." Heath smiled as he looked at Farfetch'd who had just woken up. Farfetch'd had now developed almost the same habits as Heath, waking up at the same time every morning. However, just as Heath turned his head to wake Zoroark, he found that Zoroark had already woken up sometime earlier and was engrossed in reading a novel.

Heath looked at Zoroark with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Heath wasn't quite used to the little guy not sleeping in.

Little Red was still resting, and Heath didn't call it. After all, its furry paws were not very convenient for holding a toothbrush and a mouthwash cup. Fortunately, Little Red didn't have any odor, which made Heath feel much more at ease.

After leaving the lounge, Heath saw Charmeleon playing jump rope. What surprised Heath more was Mew, who was also playing jump rope next to Charmeleon. Mew was jumping around and looked quite good at it. Heath shook his head helplessly, then called Charmeleon and Snorlax to start today's washing up.

After washing up, Heath went to the dining hall to prepare breakfast for Officer Jenny. While he was making breakfast, someone came into the empty dining hall. Heath glanced at her and saw that it was Officer Jenny.

"Good morning, Sister Jing." Heath greeted Officer Jenny warmly, but Officer Jenny's expression looked somewhat serious.

"Do you remember Kazumi, whom you mentioned yesterday?" Officer Jenny asked Heath. Heath was taken aback. Could it be that Officer Jenny had already found evidence against Kazumi and arrested this officer of the Aqua Fleet? If that were the case, then Officer Jenny was really quick; she arrested him today after mentioning him yesterday.

Heath nodded. Of course he remembered. Hemi's identity was very special, but most importantly, it was Hemi's personality. The way she ate was very unique, and her hobbies were also quite strange. This was the first time Heath had met such a guest, so he naturally had a deep impression of Hemi. Moreover, these things had only happened yesterday, so Heath was sure he remembered them.

“That He Mei, I investigated her and found that she is actually the manager of a company called Jiuxin Financial Loan Company in our Dark Gray City.” Jun Shajing stood at the kitchen doorway, then pinched her brow and said calmly. Heath frowned; this kind of company sounded strange.

“…It’s an online lending company. Our Officer Jenny department receives several reports about this company every year. Although their interest rates are relatively high, they are still within the Alliance’s permitted range, so we haven’t been able to deal with them. The strange thing you feel might be because of their identity.” Officer Jenny added. Heath raised an eyebrow. Goodness, isn’t this just like those small loan companies from my previous life?

Heath knew about these companies. In his previous life, one of Heath's college roommates suddenly became very rich during his junior year. He spent money lavishly, treating people to meals, karaoke, and games every day. At the time, everyone thought it was a story like, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, I'm a billionaire." But three months later, Heath's phone was ringing off the hook with calls. When he answered, he found out that his roommate had borrowed money from many online lending companies and had left his roommates' phone numbers with him.

They were all poor students, and that classmate's family wasn't well-off either. He had even applied for a student aid program, so it's easy to imagine that he simply couldn't afford to pay it back. The interest rates from these companies were so high that Heath was speechless. With interest compounding, it was absolutely deadly.

Then, that student dropped out of school because these companies called the counselor and the principal, which had a very bad impact. With the interest compounding, the student had to leave. However, before leaving, the other party tried to get Heath and several other roommates to lend him some money to help him pay off his debts, but they were all poor students and refused.

During that period, the school also hung up many banners to warn everyone to stay away from the tricks of online loan and microloan companies.

Later, Heath heard that his classmate had gone into hiding and no one knew where he had gone. Even after several years, Heath's phone would occasionally receive debt collection calls from those companies asking him to help contact his classmate. It wasn't until Heath changed his phone number that he was finally free from this predicament.

So when Heath heard what Officer Jenny said, he knew that Miss Kazumi had temporarily escaped Officer Jenny's suspicion. After all, this kind of industry is considered a gray industry, walking on the edge of the Alliance's laws, so it's not surprising that they are wary of this kind of person.

Miss Kazumi is safe for now. Although Heath knows that the other party's identity is just a cover, Heath also knows that he cannot say that the other party is a member of Team Aqua without evidence. It seems that this matter needs to be considered in a long time. Moreover, even without mentioning the identity of Team Aqua, the identity of this loan company alone is enough to make Heath very unhappy with her.

These microloan companies have done far too many unethical things.

After Heath finished making breakfast, he drove his food truck toward the Dark Grey City market. The Dark Grey City market was quite interesting; it was located inside a mine. It was Heath's first time visiting such an interesting market. And it must be said that, perhaps because the market was in a cave, the fruits, vegetables, and meats in the market were quite fresh. The abandoned mine was very cool, giving it a natural refrigerator feel.

"No rock worms today either." Heath was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that if rock worms, a delicacy known to everyone in Dark Grey City, were actually on the market, they would probably have been bought up by those rich people long ago, or even bought as soon as they were dug up. This made Heath a little annoyed, because if he had to compete with those rich people, he definitely couldn't win.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time." Heath shook his head. He didn't have any good ideas at the moment. But what he was more concerned about now was the Three Kingdoms limited edition that was going to be released later. He wondered how these tricks, which had made a lot of money among elementary and middle school students, would work in this world.

Heath just wanted to recoup his investment.

Chapter 436 School Cafeteria

Heath nervously rubbed his hands together. He was a little nervous; it was almost time for school, and he had already put up his advertisement. However, he wasn't sure if it would attract customers, but he was determined to give it a try.

"Farfetch'd~" Farfetch'd stood beside Heath, nervously tidying up its wing feathers. Although the feathers had grown back, Farfetch'd still intended to shave them, but Heath stopped it for the time being, because Farfetch'd wasn't needed to be a pastry chef today. If it were to be a pastry chef, then Farfetch'd's feathers would naturally need to be shaved; if it wasn't, then it wouldn't be necessary.

Heath had considered giving Farfetch'd a plastic glove, which would prevent its feathers from touching the dough. However, after trying it, Heath found that it didn't work. Farfetch'd wearing the plastic glove was like it had suddenly forgotten how to cook; it was awkward no matter what it did. Heath had to give up on the idea. It seems that she can contact Nami later and talk to her about this, and see if the Silph Company can come up with a solution for Farfetch'd.

In the Kanto region, the company with the greatest capacity for invention and innovation is probably Silph Corporation. Other companies are ultimately weaker than this wealthy and powerful company. Silph Corporation's monopoly on Poké Balls has allowed them to accumulate enormous wealth, which Silph Corporation considers to be comparable to that of a country.

"Wait, incredibly wealthy..." Hiss was stunned. The Silph Corporation in the game was also very powerful, and it was mentioned that the Silph Corporation produced Poké Balls. However, after Team Rocket took over the Silph Corporation, the League's response could be described as perfunctory. If it weren't for Blue Green's arrival, Hiss would have suspected that everyone in the League was dead.

However, Green did almost nothing; the investigation and repelling of the enemy were all done by the protagonist. Thinking about it this way, Heath suddenly wondered if the fact that the Rockets were able to take over the Hiluff Company so easily in the future was also due to the League's inaction.

After all, the Silph Corporation is just too huge. It's not just a title that it's the largest monopoly in the Kanto region. Just relying on Poké Balls is enough to keep the Silph Corporation inactive for life. It's hard to say what the League might be planning or scheming against the Silph Corporation. Thinking about it this way, although it feels a bit like a conspiracy theory, Hiss thinks the probability is quite high.

"What did you have for breakfast?" A somewhat ethereal voice interrupted Heath's thoughts, but Heath knew very well who it was, after all, Dream's big head was secretly watching him through the crack in the door of the lounge.

"Didn't I tell you? We had hot dry noodles for breakfast." Heath pinched his temples helplessly. This morning, Heath bought the ingredients he needed, and after returning to the dining car, he made a bowl of hot dry noodles for Farfetch'd and Mew. It's a special dish from a province in China. It's simple to eat, but tastes good and has a strong local flavor. Heath also made some adjustments according to his Pokémon and Mew's tastes, and the result was quite good. The little guys were all very satisfied with their meal.

However, what shocked Heath the most was Dream. Dream had an extreme fondness for hot dry noodles, to the point that Heath even wondered if Dream was also a time traveler who was enjoying the taste of his hometown after a long time. Heath was afraid that Dream might say something like "odd changes, even remains the same" or "Olympiad bid successful."

Fortunately, Mew didn't. After asking for its name, it shrank back into the room and disappeared. Heath didn't care what it was doing in the lounge. He had a good relationship with Mew and knew that Mew wouldn't do anything out of line. Heath trusted Mew completely.

……

"Helen, you're going to be late!" A gentle woman anxiously drove her child towards the school. This morning, when she woke up, she found her precious daughter still in bed.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school. The food at school is awful." Helen stuck out her tongue, looking unhappy.

"Didn't your school cafeteria get contracted out to a pretty good restaurant?" The woman looked at her daughter curiously. She remembered that the school cafeteria food was quite good. The parents' committee had even invited everyone to eat there when school started. Although it couldn't compare to top chefs, the food was actually pretty good. It could open in the city center.

"Well, it was delicious at first, but then it became really bad." Helen pouted. She didn't like the food in the school cafeteria. She had heard from a classmate that the school cafeteria had been contracted out to some relative of the principal, who supposedly made a lot of money that way. Helen didn't know anything about it, but she did know that the food in the school cafeteria was no longer good.

The woman frowned. If that were the case…

The car suddenly slowed down, and the woman saw the food cart next to her, along with the large and eye-catching sign hanging on it. However, urged by her daughter, the woman still drove towards the school. She planned to ask her old friends today if there had really been any changes to the school's meals.

After dropping her lovely daughter Helen off at school, the woman drove to the interesting place she had just seen and looked up at it.

[This food truck proudly presents nutritious, healthy, and delicious student meals. Welcome to try them!]

It's very eye-catching, especially the words "nutritious, healthy and delicious," which are bolded and highlighted. The woman's lips are slightly upturned, which makes this food truck quite interesting.

……

"Welcome, sir. What would you like to eat?" Heath's eyes lit up when he saw the woman in front of him, and he asked with a smile. Zoroark quickly went over and led the woman to a seat.

However, the woman didn't sit down. She walked straight to Heath and looked around his kitchen. It was clean and tidy, without any dirt, and looked brand new. After looking around the kitchen, the woman nodded in satisfaction.

"Hello, I'd like to ask what your healthy and delicious student meals are?" The woman asked, and Heath immediately became excited. The first parent had come! Heath mustered his spirits. As long as he served the children well, the next parent wouldn't be a problem. Whether he could break even depended on today.

Chapter 437 All slogans on their lips, all business in their hearts

"Hello, ma'am, our nutritious and healthy meal is curry chicken rice. Of course, there are other options as well," Heath said with a smile. Heath had put in a lot of effort to get this health and nutrition certification. While chatting with Officer Jenny, Heath asked her to find him a nutritionist and obtain an official certification. In fact, the dishes Heath made were indeed very healthy and nutritious, but Heath also knew very well that sometimes people only believed official written proof.

Furthermore, there is indeed a dedicated nutritionist association in the Pokémon world, so verifying whether this matter is true or false is very simple, so Heath is not worried that the customers will not believe it.

"Curry? If it's curry..." The woman frowned. Her family rarely ate curry. In her opinion, curry had no nutritional value; it tasted good, but it wasn't nutritious.

Or rather, the nutritional content couldn't compare to the specially prepared school meals, so the woman decided to leave, preferring that her child eat healthier.

However, before the woman could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a piece of paper that Heath pulled out with a smile—or rather, a small stack of papers. The woman raised an eyebrow, took it, and glanced at it. It was indeed an official certification from the Dark Grey City Nutritionist Association. The woman picked up her phone and looked at Heath.

"If you don't mind, may I take a picture? I have a friend who is a member of the Nutritionist Association." The woman smiled gently, and Heath nodded without any concern. It was true, so he wasn't worried at all.

Seeing Heath's calm demeanor, the woman was even more pleased. She didn't believe in other people's words, but she trusted official certifications. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the curry, if it was truly nutritious and healthy, she wouldn't mind letting her child have a bite.

The woman still took the photos. After asking around, her friend gave her an affirmative answer. This friend was also a member of the parents' committee. Seeing this affirmative answer, the woman smiled even more with satisfaction.

"Excuse me, could I have one?" the woman asked. Heath immediately nodded and quickly made her a curry chicken rice dish. During the cooking process, the woman watched Heath intently, observing his actions. Her smile grew even more satisfied. She could tell that Heath's cooking skills were excellent, and most importantly, his kitchen was open-plan, allowing anyone to see what was happening. The clean and tidy kitchen, the washed hands, and the responsible cleaning up after each dish all pleased the woman.

However, when the woman took her first bite of curry, her eyes widened in surprise. It was incredibly delicious and perfectly suited her taste. The subtle spiciness and sweetness blended together, giving her a feeling of complete satisfaction. The drowsiness she had felt when she woke up that morning completely vanished with that bite of curry, and she felt much more energetic.

[You entertained Airo, and you gained a sense of hygiene.]

Heath paused for a moment. Elo, that must be the woman's name. But what puzzled Heath was what this "hygiene intuition" thing was.

Heath felt in his pocket and found a pair of glasses. He took them out and looked at them. They were glasses without lenses, only frames, very plain.

[Hygiene Intuition: After wearing it, the user can become aware of any areas in their surroundings that need improved hygiene. The longer the wear time, the stronger the effect (Note: Prolonged wear may cause the user to become obsessive about cleanliness)]

Heath raised an eyebrow. This thing looked a bit strange, but it seemed to be useful occasionally. However, what intrigued Heath even more was the woman's identity. Heath knew some unique aspects of his cheat ability: if he gave a guest something other than candy, it meant that the thing was likely related to that person. For example, when he entertained Karenia, the criminal psychology materials he received made sense. If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that Karenia is not a simple person.

However, at that time, Heath didn't quite understand his own cheat ability, which is why he gave Karenia the opportunity to use it.

"Wait, this thing doesn't say it can only be used by me. In other words, I can let other people use it?" Heath discovered a key point. This thing did not specify that it had to be used by the user. In other words, if someone else uses this thing for a long time, it can even turn them into a germaphobe. That's quite amazing, forcibly adding a psychological problem to the other person.

But it seems there's nothing wrong with being a clean freak. Heath scratched his head. In fact, being a clean freak has become a way for some people to show off their individuality. Just like with Jade Syndrome, Heath used to sympathize with Jade Syndrome sufferers. But as Jade Syndrome became famous, many people started to self-diagnose with depression, which was very annoying. There were also some people who used the excuse of depression to scam money, cheat and swindle. There were all kinds of people. Heath even met someone who used depression as an excuse to stay up late playing games every night to prevent a depression attack.

This was the first time Heath had ever encountered such an outrageous person. It was also the first time he had ever heard of someone with depression using video games to prevent a relapse. So now depression had become known as "YuYu syndrome," which was indeed terrible for those who actually had depression. But the blame for "YuYu syndrome" still fell on those who used it to achieve their own inappropriate goals.

He may have been depressed on the surface, but he was full of ideas in his heart.

"You made it very well, boss." Ai Luo wiped her mouth with satisfaction. It tasted so good, and it was also so healthy and nutritious. If what her daughter said was true, then she would find out after an investigation. The parent committee was not an idiot who would be kept in the dark!

"I'm glad you like it, sir." Heath said with a smile. Elo wasn't the point; the point was that a parent's approval could always influence other parents and then their children. This time, Heath didn't give Elo the card holder; it was a little something Heath had planned.

Airo left satisfied. After Airo left, more customers came into Heath's food truck one after another. They were all unfamiliar faces, but they all seemed to know Heath's food truck. They came in, looked at Heath's nutrition certification report, ordered curry rice, watched Heath cook, and after he finished cooking, they ate their food with great satisfaction and left with great satisfaction.

"Looks like I'm on a lucky streak today. Now it's just a matter of seeing when I can cash out." Heath rubbed his hands together.

Chapter 438 The Pursuer

"Heath, good morning~" Miss Musashi is here again. Heath looked at Miss Musashi in surprise. He didn't expect that Miss Musashi had stayed in Dark Grey City for quite a long time. Heath originally thought that Miss Musashi would leave Dark Grey City soon, but he didn't expect her to still be here today. He just didn't know what Miss Musashi was going to do in Dark Grey City.
