I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"My God, are you sure this guy is human? Are you sure he's not some kind of superhuman? What kind of power is this?!" Zoroya stared at Mr. Fujiyama in shock. That stone block looked like it weighed tens of kilograms, maybe even a hundred kilograms.

Heath nodded. He was also very surprised when he first saw it, but after he tried it out, he found that it wasn't so shocking after all.

"Is it scary? I think it's quite light, that stone." Heath looked at Zoroya on his shoulder with a strange expression. He had tried the stone himself, and it was indeed very light.

Zorua looked at her trainer with a strange expression. She suddenly remembered that Heath had hit her on the head last night, and the force was indeed quite strong.

Heath didn't notice his Pokémon's gaze. He was focused on making breakfast. Mr. Fujiyama's breakfast was very special, or rather, very large in quantity. Mr. Fujiyama would eat three sets of jianbing guozi with five eggs each time, followed by a large piece of grilled chicken breast and a vegetable salad.

Heath felt that if it were him eating, this would probably be a day's worth of food, but in front of Mr. Fujiyama, this much food was only enough for one meal. Heath felt that he had discovered the main reason why Mr. Fujiyama was so strong.

Meanwhile, Farfetch'd was helping Heath cut chicken breasts. As per Heath's instructions, Farfetch'd needed to use leeks to cut the chicken breasts into strips so that Heath could handle them more easily.

After spending this time together, Heath has become quite familiar with the knife skills of leek duck, which are excellent. He can even make Wensi tofu. However, there is one problem: leek duck uses leeks to cut things, which easily have a leek flavor. Therefore, he needs to pay attention to the ingredients and cooking methods.

"Uncle Fujiyama, your breakfast is ready." Heath wiped the sweat from his forehead. Serving Mr. Fujiyama so early in the morning was truly a joyful yet painful experience.

"Okay~ Thank you so much, Heath. Your breakfast is truly a lifesaver." Uncle Fujiyama threw the stone stool on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then took the bag that Heath handed him.

Then he handed 100 Alliance Coins to Heath. This was the amount Mr. Fujiyama would spend on breakfast. Unless Heath raised his prices, a meal at Heath's place would always cost 100 coins.

Heath accepted it with a smile. Although he had already paid off his debts, seeing the small amount of money still made him feel happy.

"What a beautiful day!" Heath stretched, already looking forward to today's guests.

Chapter 33 Naz

[You entertained Mr. Fujiyama, and you received a set of muscle training equipment.]

Seeing the notification that suddenly popped up, Heath was stunned. What did a set of muscle training tools mean? And how did this thing end up on his body?

Just as Heath was puzzled, he suddenly felt his cart move. Heath had a bad feeling. He opened the cart and looked inside. Sure enough, a small toolbox appeared in front of him.

"Can this thing really help build muscle?" Heath felt deeply confused. The little toolbox didn't look very big, but now wasn't the time to open it. Heath put the toolbox back and planned to study it when he got back.

"Human, is this how you live every day?" Sororia, perched on Hiss's shoulder, popped her head out and looked at Hiss's stall, asking curiously.

"Hmm... I occasionally cook other foods or something, but I'll save up some money for a few days and then travel to other cities," Heath said softly, not wanting to appear strange.

Soroya shook its little head, then settled comfortably on Heath's shoulder. Heath felt four little feet moving restlessly on its shoulder.

It seems that while Zoroah's illusions can change appearances, his true form cannot be altered; one can sense it as soon as one touches him.

Heath looked around. There was still a little while before the people of Viridian City would get up and go to work. Heath decided to entertain his Pokémon first, and he hadn't even used the TM he got from Zoroark last time.

With that in mind, Heath started making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). Heath, the shrew, knew exactly how to handle it, but he needed to think of a different way to deal with Zorro's.

Zorua prefers a sweet and sour flavor, so after thinking about it, Heath decided to make Zorua a sweet and sour jianbing (Chinese crepe). The method is very simple; just use ketchup.

"Big Farfetch'd, here's your jianbing guozi, the usual, with an extra egg." Heath handed the steaming hot jianbing guozi to Big Farfetch'd, then gave another one with ketchup to Solomon.

Soroya looked curiously at the jianbing guozi in Heath's hand, then she looked at Farfetch'd, who was happily eating his jianbing guozi in small bites.

"What is this?" Zoroia asked curiously. She felt that the trainer in front of her was full of secrets, and she had never eaten anything like this before.

"Jianbing guozi, breakfast is fine. I'll make you lunch later." Heath yawned as he made himself a jianbing guozi, though the one he made for himself was a bit small.

Perhaps because Heath was a chef, he didn't feel like eating after cooking. When Heath was learning to cook, his master told him it was because he had smelled too much smoke.

Soroya looked at the sour-tasting jianbing guozi in her hand, and couldn't help but take a small bite. Then, she squinted her eyes happily, her face full of joy. This sweet and sour taste was just right for her taste.

Heath took the magnifying glass out of his pocket. After cooling down overnight, it should be usable now, right? But considering his own guesses, Heath decided to use this opportunity on Zoroya.

With that in mind, Heath picked up the magnifying glass and glanced at Zoroya.

[Zoroa, edible and non-toxic, has a sour and astringent taste with a gamey odor, requiring special processing. It is recommended to blanch it twice in boiling water and then add various seasonings to mask the odor.]

Hiss was delighted. Sure enough, this thing could see through Zoroah in his phantom form. But what about against humans? What would be the effect if used on a human?

Heath was very curious about this, but he had already used up his one-time-per-day use of the food analyzer, so he could only wait until tomorrow to try again.

Just as Heath was about to say something, he suddenly noticed someone coming towards him out of the corner of his eye. Heath turned his head and saw Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City, whom Giovanni had introduced to him yesterday.

"Um... Miss Sabrina, is there anything I can help you with?" Heath looked at Sabrina strangely. She was supposed to be here to hand over her work to Boss Sakaki, so why was she here with him?

Sabrina, with her long, straight black hair, stood in front of Heath, looking at him indifferently, her dark eyes concealing some unknown emotion.

"..." Naz reached out and pointed to something posted on Heath's stall. Heath curiously peeked out and saw that it read "Fried Tofu, Braised Pork, and Rice".

"You want this? Then it might take a while, it's still cooking." Heath breathed a sigh of relief. So he came here to eat after all. That makes sense.

Naza nodded and stood aside. However, what made Heath feel very awkward was that Naza kept staring at him, which made Heath look down at his pants. He hadn't forgotten to zip up his pants.

Even though Heath felt very strange, Naz continued to look at him, and Heath had no other choice but to patiently wait for his braised pork and tofu to be ready.

Heath also reminded Zoroah not to use telepathy, since Sabrina is a superhuman, and a very powerful one at that. If he really said it, who knows if Sabrina would notice Zoroah's abnormality.

As dawn broke, more and more customers came to Heath's stall. Heath busily handed out jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) to the customers and then happily accepted their money.

After Heath finished his morning rush hour work, he noticed that Naz was still watching him. Heath quickly opened the pot lid to take a look and saw that it was ready.

"Miss Naz, here's your braised pork rice with fried tofu." Heath served the braised pork rice with fried tofu to Naz, eagerly anticipating what she would give him in return for entertaining her.

"..." Naz calmly reached out and took it. Heath had originally thought that the other party would use superpowers.

However, Hiss was immediately surprised when he saw that Naz had taken out a large stack of Alliance Coins, all of them in denominations of 100, which looked to be several thousand Alliance Coins, and then handed them all to him.

"...Teach me how to make Mr. Sakaki happy." Sabrina looked at Heath and said calmly, her face still unchanged.

"what?"

Chapter 34 To win a man's heart, you must...

Heath stared blankly at Naz, and for some reason, he seemed to see a kind of emotion called jealousy in Naz's eyes at this moment. This discovery made Heath feel strange.

"Miss Naz, what did you say?" Heath thought that she might be hallucinating because she hadn't slept well last night. After all, isn't it said that not sleeping on time is bad for your health, and that staying up late can increase the risk of sudden death?

“You, teach me how to make Mr. Sakaki happy.” Sabrina calmly repeated herself. This time, Heath heard her clearly; she was not mistaken or hallucinating.

But this made Heath's expression even stranger. He didn't quite understand why Sabrina would come to him to learn how to make Mr. Giovanni happy. Was it because the dish she made for Mr. Giovanni yesterday made him happy?

Heath suddenly remembered that Sabrina seemed to have a special feeling for Giovanni, according to rumors. Combined with the fact that Sabrina had come all the way here today to learn how to make Giovanni happy, Heath realized that he seemed to have uncovered some incredible little secrets.

"Um... Miss Sabrina, have you ever heard a saying?" Heath put on a very bright and enthusiastic smile. If Ms. Lori saw this, she would definitely be wary and put her Gengar away.

Every time Hiss digs a hole for Gengar with a big smile, he has this expression, but every time Gengar willingly buries himself in the hole and adds extra dirt to himself.

Naza tilted her head slightly as she looked at Heath, seemingly completely unaware of what Heath meant.

"There's a saying that goes, 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach,'" Heath said mysteriously. Naz paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She nodded happily at Heath, handed him all the money she had, took her food, and turned to leave.

Heath was stunned. What was going on? He hadn't said anything yet, so why was Natsumi running off so happily?

This is as absurd as a confused young man going up a mountain to seek guidance from a master. The master has just poured tea for the young man, but accidentally poured a little too much. The young man then shouts, "I understand!" and runs down the mountain.

Heath scratched his head. Although he didn't know what Natsu had figured out, at least Natsu was no longer staring at him. Heath felt a little relieved. Otherwise, being stared at by a superhuman would really be a very troublesome thing.

“That person just now was a superhuman, she was incredibly strong.” Zoroya said warily, clawing at Heath’s shoulder.

"It's good that you know. I was just worried that you didn't know and that you might give yourself away." Heath breathed a sigh of relief. Sabrina's appearance was too sudden, and Heath didn't even have time to tell Zoroar not to use telepathy. Fortunately, Zoroar was smart enough to avoid this problem.

You entertained Sabrina and received two Bewitching Gums.

[Persuasive Gum: After chewing, your words are more likely to be believed by the other party]

Heath's expression turned strange. What was this? Could it be that his idea of ​​making money off Sabrina had been discovered by his cheat system, and he was being given a tempting chewing gum as encouragement?

However, Heath still put the two pieces of chewing gum away. The effect of this stuff was simply too powerful. Although it wasn't absolutely reliable, there was a high probability that once it was triggered, it would be a magical item that could change the world.

"If you calculate it that way, I've saved up about 10,000 Alliance Coins by now." Hiss looked at the Alliance Coins in his hand and gave a bright smile.

Sabrina, as expected of the Gym Leader of Saffron City, pulled out a whopping 8,000 League Coins. Combined with the money Heath had earned from Mr. Giovanni and the guests, Heath finally experienced what it meant to be rolling in money.

"Green onion~" Farfetch'd happily hopped around Heath, waving the green onion in its hand as if it were performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

"What's wrong with Farfetch'd?" Heath looked at Zoroah in confusion. He couldn't understand Farfetch'd's calls, but he could try to communicate with Zoroah.

"Farfetch'd said he finally has money to buy ducks. Wait, do you even need money to buy Farfetch'd?" Zoroya's gaze turned strange, as if he were looking at a scumbag. Heath rolled his eyes.

Then Heath explained to Zoroya what BJ roast duck was, but it would have been better if Heath hadn't explained it, because as soon as he did, Zoroya started drooling.

"Hmph, foolish human, your roast duck is probably not very tasty, but if you use the best techniques to make me the best roast duck in the world, then I'm willing to reluctantly give it a try." Looking at Zoroya, who had turned his head away and looked unwilling, Heath took a deep breath.

This little guy is absolutely amazing.

"Meow~" Just as Heath was about to discuss with Zoroah whether being tsundere was acceptable, Heath heard a meow coming from behind him.

Heath turned his head and glanced at the stray cat in Evergreen City, who was watching him warily. To be precise, the caterpillar on Heath's shoulder was being assessed by the caterpillar as to whether it was a bad guy.

"Meowth, this is my Pokémon. Are you here for dinner today too?" Heath reached out and ruffled Meowth's head. Meowth squinted its eyes contentedly, then looked at Caterpie warily.

Heath was both amused and exasperated. These little guys were incredibly vigilant, and Heath figured that this vigilance was probably what allowed Meow Meow and the others to survive in Evergreen City.

Heath rummaged through the leftovers from yesterday, which were the two roast ducks that Big Green Duck had made. Even if Heath and Sister Feng ate their fill, they couldn't finish them, so Heath brought them over to give the little ones a good meal.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted. But didn't anyone say you were being too saintly?" Zoroa leaned on Hiss's shoulder, teasingly watching the stray Pokémon eating in front of them.

"So what if you do? But you do know quite a lot." Heath glanced at Zorua. Some of the vocabulary in this world was similar to that in his previous life, and it was often used in novels.

"That's just how I am." Heath looked at Meowth, Arbok, and Rattata squatting in front of him, eating duck meat with gusto, and smiled. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him being like this.

Chapter 35 Arbok's Reminder

"Meow~" After finishing its food, Meow Meow lay lazily in front of Heath, showing its little belly. It rolled around on the ground contentedly, and Heath chuckled and reached out to scratch Meow Meow's belly.

Perhaps because Heath often feeds these little guys, Meowth, Rattata, and Arbok are all very friendly towards Heath. Heath can pet them however he wants, and can even pick up Meowth and spin him around.

"Hiss..." Arbok flicked its tongue and crawled to Heath's side, looking up at the green caterpillar on Heath's head. Its face, with only one eye remaining, showed some vigilance and ferocity.

"This guy is so wary. It keeps threatening me, saying I'm not allowed to hurt you." Zoroah perched on Heath's shoulder, looked down at the Arbok beneath him, pursed his lips, and then stuck his tongue out at the Arbok.

Heath chuckled and tapped Zoroark on the head, then introduced Zoroark's identity to Arbok and Meowth. Arbok and Meowth seemed much more normal after that. Heath thought that if Zoroark had deliberately shown an intention to attack him, Arbok and Meowth would have really taken action.

"Spring is coming soon, and the days will be a little easier then." Heath stretched, feeling the warm sun on his skin, and then chuckled as he ruffled Arbok's head.

Although Arbok looks fierce, its head is actually very easy to touch. Heath always rubs Arbok's head. At first, Arbok looks unwilling, but later it realizes that it can't resist and resigns itself to its fate.

Heath happily rubbed Arbok's head, as if kneading dough—soft, cool, and smooth. Heath thought it would be even more comfortable to rub Arbok's head in the summer.

Winter is too cruel for stray Pokémon. In spring, summer and autumn, Ekans rarely came to Seeth for food. Only in winter, when food was scarce, would they come to Seeth to freeload. Seeth never minded.

"Hiss... hiss..." Arbok flicked its tongue, its face in Heath's hand like a lump of dough. Arbok even rolled its eyes, feeling as if Heath was shaking its brains.
