I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

“Boss Heath?” A somewhat familiar voice called out. Heath turned his head and immediately saw a familiar face – it was Ms. Elo, the woman who had just bought a nutritious meal from his food cart. She was also holding a little girl's hand. Heath recognized the girl; her name seemed to be something like…

Helen? That's quite a unique name.

"Good morning, Ms. Airo," Heath said with a smile. Ms. Airo smiled back when she realized it was indeed Heath. She greeted Heath politely, but then she took out six cards and waved them in front of Heath. One of the cards, a gold one, stood out very much.

"Mr. Heath, you really have a knack for business." Looking at the smiling Ms. Elo in front of him, Heath felt a little embarrassed, while Helen obediently lowered her head. Just by looking at these three cards, one could deduce how many meals Helen had bought, at least three.

"Just a few toys." Heath gave a friendly smile. He only used this card to encourage students to spend money. In essence, Heath's meal prices hadn't increased, but the number of meals had increased quite a bit, since many children had bought a lot of meals from Heath.

Ms. Elo looked at Heath gently, praised his business acumen, and then left with her daughter. Heath smiled and saw them off.

"Mom, aren't you angry?" Helen was a little happy to see the card returned to her; it was a legendary card! None of her classmates had legendary cards, and many had come to see it, some even offering to buy it.

"Why are you angry?" Airo rubbed her daughter's head. Heath's food was healthy, hygienic, and nutritious. Although she used a little trick, Airo knew what kind of marketing method it was from her daughter's description. This gave Airo a burst of inspiration. Her company was planning to launch some new products, but could the company try this unique method as well?

Her precious daughter is very picky, but she cherishes these little cards very much. She even bought three sets at once. If Elo hadn't noticed that her daughter was spending her allowance a little too quickly, she wouldn't have realized it.

Moreover, Heath's meal expenses haven't increased, and these little cards are more like freebies. Elo doesn't object to her daughter having some hobbies, as long as her academic performance isn't affected.

"Thank you, Mom!" Helen smiled happily, but after hesitating for a moment, she still wanted to say something, but seeing her mother's smile, she swallowed her words. It was a blessing in disguise that she hadn't been scolded today.

On the other hand, Heath was unaware that his idea had been targeted. Even if he did, there was nothing he could do. After all, ideas are not like technology, which can be protected by patents. When he first came up with this idea, Heath knew that it might be valued by other companies, so he had his own way of dealing with it. Judging by the time, it should be time to respond soon.

"Heath!" A cheerful voice called out, and Heath knew who it was without even looking.

"Sister Feng? I thought you were already in the venue!" Heath looked at Sister Feng with surprise. He had thought that Sister Feng should be in the venue, but he did not expect that Sister Feng was still here.

"Safety maintenance outside is also very important. Are you here to set up a stall?" Sister Feng was wearing Officer Jenny's clothes today, with Old Feng by her side. When Old Feng saw Heath, he wagged his tail affectionately. Heath smiled and rubbed Old Feng's cheek, and then Old Feng licked it.

Heath looked at Old Feng helplessly. This guy, Big Dog's saliva is really smelly.

"Thanks to Mr. Sakagi, I've found a great spot. I can make a fortune today." Heath smiled and wiped his hands with a disinfectant wipe to get rid of the smell of the big dog's drool. He and Sister Feng had lived together for so long that he was used to dealing with these kinds of things.

"Be careful, kid. There are so many people, there might be pickpockets. And keep an eye on your green onion duck too," Officer Jenny said seriously, and Heath nodded.

Chapter 451 Fossil Pterosaur

It's not hard to understand why Farfetch'd is being kept under close watch. Although Farfetch'd is a protected species in the Pokémon League, it is still a Pokémon that is very vulnerable to threats. Its delicious meat means that even under the League's protection, Farfetch'd cannot escape being hunted. However, Seath is not too worried about Farfetch'd's safety. On the one hand, he is right next to it, and on the other hand, Farfetch'd has good self-defense capabilities. It is unlikely that Farfetch'd can be subdued instantly.

Sister Feng left quickly, after all, the security outside the venue still needed to be taken into account. Soon, the resurrection experiment at the Deep Gray City Science Museum began. Heath was unable to squeeze near the booth and could only watch the live broadcast on the big screen. In the live broadcast, Heath saw Kikuko and Mr. Sakaki.

These two are special guests, but those in the know understand that they are actually the last and safest insurance policy sent by the League to protect the ancient Pokémon resurrected at the Pewter City Science Museum. Heath thinks Giovanni must be very conflicted, but given Giovanni's intelligence, he probably won't make a move here, since it's quite dangerous to do so.

Furthermore, if Giovanni were to be exposed, it would be an even more serious loss for Team Rocket. After all, Team Rocket's ability to develop steadily is inseparable from the various traitors within the League Gyms. Without their tips, Team Rocket's losses would likely be even greater.

Between two evils, choose the lesser. Sakaki is a wise leader and would not do something so foolish.

"This time, we're going to revive an ancient Pokémon. According to Professor Oak's research, this Pokémon has been named Aerodactyl!" On the big screen, a person in a white coat said enthusiastically, while placing a fossil into a special machine. Heath raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, it was Aerodactyl. Heath had been wondering what Pokémon would get the chance to be revived, and he thought it might be one of the original few.

"Wow, Aerodactyl! Is it a Dragon-type Pokémon?" A little boy stood next to Hiss, excitedly tugging at his father's sleeve. Hiss almost burst out laughing. Aerodactyl—the name did sound like a Dragon-type Pokémon, but just like Charizard and Gyarados aren't dragons, Aerodactyl isn't a dragon either. Instead, it's a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon.

But now that he's mentioned it, Hiss suddenly remembered that Awakening seemed to have possessed a Aerodactyl in the game. Could it be this Aerodactyl?

However, the researchers did not immediately turn on the machine. Instead, they moved another machine from the side. Heath seemed to be thinking. He had been wondering how long the Pewter City Science Museum planned to wait, since the revival of fossil Pokémon was a time-consuming process. But he did not expect that they had been prepared for this for a long time.

"Dear viewers, because reviving fossil Pokémon takes a long time, we revived them a week in advance to save you time. Now is the day the revival was successful. The uninterrupted video recording of the previous seven days has been posted on the official website of our Pewter City Science Museum. Those who are interested can search for it on the website." The researcher explained, and then a notary from the League came up to certify that the event was indeed true.

Heath didn't expect that the first time he revived a fossil Pokémon, it would take a full seven days. It seems that the subsequent revival times were shortened, probably because the process was improved.

The device was turned on, and a uniquely shaped Pokémon crawled out. Its eyes were still a little dazed as it warily observed the humans around it, seemingly not yet understanding why it had suddenly come to such a place.

"Wow, is that a fossil pterosaur? It looks so strange." The surrounding crowd made a commotion, some discussing it, some expressing surprise, and some complaining about its appearance. However, after actually seeing the fossil pterosaur, Heath admitted that it did look somewhat ugly, like a small dinosaur.

However, everyone was still shocked. After all, these were Pokémon from the past, which had become fossils. But they never expected that they could be revived by the power of science. This was really surprising. Heath, on the other hand, was very calm. There would be more Pokémon appearing later, so there was nothing strange about it.

Heath didn't continue talking about watching the follow-up interviews and publicity, but went straight back to his dining car. Tourists were already going in one after another to visit. Because of the recent resurrection, the museum only allowed ten seconds per person for each visit, so Heath figured people would be coming out soon.

Zoroark was also called out by Hiss to help attract customers. Hiss planned to earn as much as possible today to try and break even. Since all the schools in Phantom City would be closed today, Hiss also planned to recommend his Three Kingdoms limited edition meal to the students, hoping to expand his sales channels. After all, the Phantom City Science Museum's popularity was only for today, and the hype would gradually fade away. Hiss would have to return to his previous spot to continue operating. Whether he could expand his sales channels depended on today.

Twenty minutes later, guests finally entered Heath's food cart, but the first guest surprised Heath.

"Miss Nami? What brings you here?" Heath looked at Nami with some surprise. Yesterday, Heath had sent his idea to the Silph Company. Could it be that Nami came to discuss the idea with him?

“I came here to see the exhibition, but your creative company also saw it. It’s quite interesting, so the company asked me to come and pay your creative reward.” Miss Nami sat down opposite Heath, then rested her chin on her hand and yawned.

"A reward? What reward?" Heath was taken aback. So they really were sent to negotiate with him.

"Hehe, it's an experimental product. Although it's called an experimental product, the company is actually very optimistic about its prospects. Originally, the company wasn't planning to give it to you, but considering that your idea is indeed very interesting, the chairman decided to give you something equally interesting." Nami smiled and took out a Poké Ball, placing it in front of Heath. Heath looked at the white Poké Ball in front of him, somewhat bewildered.

It's white, could it be a commemorative ball?

Chapter 452 Champion Ball

"What kind of ball is this?" Heath became interested. Speaking of Silph Corporation, their most famous product is the Poké Ball. They have all kinds of Poké Balls. As the leading company that researches and almost monopolizes the Poké Ball industry, Silph Corporation is incredibly wealthy. However, Silph Corporation also researches many other projects, so they don't accumulate much money in their annual financial reports. Heath had seen Silph Corporation's publicly released financial reports before, and research funds accounted for 80% of the net profit, which was an outrageous percentage.

Hiss thought this might be Silph Corporation's way of surviving. After all, even the adorable Slowpoke knows that if it keeps occupying a good hunting spot, it will be targeted by other Pokémon. As the leading company in the Kanto region, Silph Corporation's wealth accumulation has reached a level that has alerted the League. If it doesn't want to be taken down by the League, the best way is to invest all its money in doing good deeds.

Hiss never thought the League was a good organization. In Hiss's view, the League was the biggest organization, but it was relatively friendly to civilians. However, to the Silph Corporation, the League was like Team Rocket, which could turn evil at any time. Once it threatened the League, it became the League's enemy.

Heath heard that the Poké Ball production lines in other league regions were all in the hands of the respective leagues, who were openly making huge profits from very cheap patent fees, but Silph Corporation had no objection to this at all.

They probably wouldn't dare to have any objections, after all, compared to the alliance, Shiruff Company is still a bit small.

However, Poké Balls are Silph Corporation's main business, so Heath wouldn't find it strange if Silph Corporation developed some odd Poké Balls.

"This thing is really amazing~" Miss Nami said with a smile, and then handed a user manual to Hiss. Hiss was stunned. It was rare to find a Poké Ball with a user manual. Weren't the Poké Balls from Silph Company all designed for simple operation? You just press a switch and throw it, right?

Heath thinks this might be to make it easier for trainers to operate; otherwise, if the Poké Ball is designed to be too complicated, it will be more troublesome to operate.

However, Heath still took it and examined it carefully. Only then did Heath discover how to use it and some of its special features. Upon seeing this, Heath's expression turned strange.

According to the instruction manual provided by Ms. Nami, this Poké Ball is temporarily called the "Champion Ball." It is a culmination of research by the Silph Corporation, boasting an 80% capture rate. If it can paralyze or put a Pokémon to sleep, the capture rate reaches 100%. This reminded Hiss of the Master Ball. Hiss knew that the Silph Corporation was researching the Master Ball, as Ms. Nami had mentioned it before, but Hiss had never imagined that there was such a thing as a Champion Ball.

"This Champion Ball... looks pretty powerful." Hiss could only say this insincerely. Hiss wasn't very enthusiastic about catching wild Pokémon. After all, Hiss didn't plan to become a trainer. His main goal in catching Pokémon was to reach an agreement with the Pokémon before he would catch them. So, Hiss had basically caught the Pokémon he was currently catching directly with regular Poké Balls. He hadn't encountered any that required forced capture yet.

"Of course, but this isn't the most powerful Poké Ball yet! Our company is already researching it, and we'll give you one when it's ready. This was decided by the chairman!" Miss Nami said with a smile. Actually, the real gift is the Master Ball, which hasn't been released yet and is only a project. Heath's idea is very good, and the company thinks it has great potential, so they sent Nami over.

Heath quickly expressed his excitement, though he really had no interest in the balls. Seeing Nami's joyful expression, he held back, not revealing his true feelings. He really wanted to ask Nami if they could be exchanged for cash, but that...

Just then, customers entered Heath's food cart. Nami ordered a Heath Three Kingdoms limited set meal and sat down to wait for her meal. She knew that Heath must be busy right now.

Indeed, Hiss was very busy. There were a lot of guests today, even an overwhelming number. This was related to the ancient Pokémon that were revived at the Pewter City Science Museum. Hiss felt like he was about to fly from the heat. However, the large sums of money flowing into his pockets improved his mood considerably. Hess was busy until the afternoon, without even a break in between, and his hands were almost cramping from exhaustion. This reminded Hiss of his time in Mossdeep City a while ago.

"As expected, making so much money really takes a toll on my body." Heath slumped to the ground. All his ingredients had been sold out, and even the iced drinks he had Snorlax made had sold a lot. Snorlax was so tired that it collapsed on the ground and fell asleep. Heath was even more exhausted, his clothes soaked with sweat.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the business was closed, Heath went back to his room to change his clothes and take a shower.

"Good afternoon, Heath." A familiar voice. Heath, who had just changed her clothes, washed the dishes and put them aside. She looked up and saw it was Mr. Sakaki.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sakaki. Are you here for lunch?" After taking a quick shower, Heath felt more energetic. Although he had already closed for the day, Heath still told those who were familiar with him, such as Sister Feng and Sakaki, that they could come in directly.

"Yes, Officer Jenny and the others are preparing for the evening security patrol, so they don't have time to come over yet. But they asked me to bring back some dinner for you." Mr. Sakaki looked a bit darker today, which Heath thought was probably because Mr. Sakaki had been sunbathing a lot.

Heath felt that if there were more events like this, if Giovanni accidentally traveled back to the old days of the United States, he might be sent to grow cotton.

"Is that so? Okay, but I need to go get some more ingredients." Heath said with a smile. Sakaki waved his hand, and the next second, a Nidoking walked in, carrying a large bag of ingredients.

Heath paused for a moment, then laughed. It seemed Mr. Sakaki was ready.

Chapter 453 Human Touch

"Heath, what's for dinner tonight?" Officer Jenny asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand. They hadn't originally planned to come, but Officer Jenny insisted they leave work, saying that since they were on vacation, they should rest properly. So Officer Jenny and Officer Jenny came over together. As soon as they entered, they saw Heath chopping ingredients, while Mr. Sakaki was sitting to the side chatting with Heath.

Nidoking ate his food in small bites. Heath made a salad for Nidoking. Who knows why Nidoking would like salad? But Heath could tell that Nidoking liked certain flavors, so she made it. As a result, Nidoking ate it very happily, wagging his tail back and forth.

Heath glanced at Nidoking's tail. Luckily, his food cart was sturdy enough, otherwise Heath thought Mr. Giovanni might have had to pay him compensation.

"Ling, this is teppanyaki." Heath's mood improved considerably when he saw that Officer Jenny had come over. He was busy preparing the ingredients at hand while smiling as he answered Officer Jenny.

Mr. Sakaki provided quite a lot of ingredients today. However, after thinking about it for a while, Heath originally planned to make rice bowls. After all, rice bowls are large and taste good, which would be perfect for the Officers on duty. But when he saw that Sister Feng and the others came over, Heath decided to change the cooking method. He planned to make teppanyaki. Teppanyaki tastes very good. Unlike hot pot, teppanyaki is served directly to the guests after it is cooked, and the guests can pick up their chopsticks and enjoy it.

However, it's easy to make teppanyaki delicious, but it's quite difficult to make every customer satisfied with the food. Fortunately, Heath can see everyone's tastes, so in order to ensure everyone has a good dining experience, Heath has added seasonings for each person, which means everyone can have a taste they are satisfied with.

This is probably a clever trick used in dishes like hot pot, just like when someone from Sichuan invites a friend from another province to dinner, they might choose to serve a hot pot with two broths (one hot pot and one yin-yang pot).

But after the teppanyaki was served, Heath didn't rush to sit down and eat. Instead, she continued to busy herself with the ingredients. Although Maple and the others had come over, Heath hadn't forgotten that there were still many Officer Jennys working. Even if it was just to make sure the Officer Jennys could have a full meal, Heath needed to make a boxed lunch for everyone as soon as possible.

However, there are still not enough ingredients. The Pokémon revival event at the Pewter City Science Museum has attracted a lot of visitors, so Officer Jenny on duty is under a lot of pressure. I bet everyone hasn't eaten yet.

Heath is a meticulous person, but sometimes he can be a bit careless. However, Jun Sha Feng and the others really like Heath's meticulousness. He is very considerate to his friends and the people he cares about. Jun Sha Feng had just guessed that Heath would definitely cook dinner for Jun Sha Jing and the others, after all, that's the kind of person Heath is.

“I was thinking you might not have enough ingredients.” Jun Shafeng came over, and Lao Feng’s panting voice came from outside the door. Heath pushed open the door and was pleasantly surprised to see Lao Feng carrying a large bag of ingredients. Heath was a little touched. Sister Feng was so thoughtful. But it was normal. After all, Sister Feng had lived with her for four years. In those four years, Sister Feng was very familiar with her.

"Sister Feng, you're a real lifesaver!" Heath smiled at Jun Shafeng, only to be glared at by her. This brat, he hadn't even gone back to Evergreen City after coming from True New Town to Dark Grey City. Jun Shafeng still remembered that.

Heath could certainly guess why Officer Jenny was angry, but wisely, she chose to go cook, thus escaping Officer Jenny's anger. Otherwise, if she were caught, she might get scolded again. When Officer Jenny saw Heath rush into the kitchen, she could only roll her eyes and go back to eat.

While cooking, Heath listened to Mr. Giovanni and Officer Jenny chatting. Elite Four member Akiko went straight back, showing no intention of staying. Heath heard from Giovanni that Elite Four member Akiko seemed to have been very busy lately. Today, seeing that Team Rocket hadn't come to cause trouble, she left immediately and even urged Giovanni to take good care of the Pewter City Science Museum. Heath could only chuckle at this. If Giovanni was really interested in the technology, Heath felt that he would see news of a theft tomorrow.

However, Heath, the King of Kikuko, didn't have any particular thoughts. After all, Heath and Kikuko weren't very close, but he knew that Giovanni seemed to particularly enjoy maintaining a good relationship with Kikuko, and he wondered what Giovanni's plans were.

This time, Heath made a rice bowl. Considering the workload of the Officers, Heath made a braised pork rice bowl, which is quite oily. The advantage of this rice bowl is that it is large in portion and filling, and it can quickly replenish energy for people who have a lot of physical exertion. Moreover, it tastes good. As long as you consider the balance of lean and fat in the braised pork, it will not be too oily.

The fragrant braised pork was placed in a box by Heath, which was quite full. This made Heath a little conflicted about how to deliver it. It seemed that she could only call Officer Jenny and ask her to come and pick it up.

"Is it ready?" To Heath's surprise, everyone was waiting for him instead of eating. Heath was a little flustered, carrying a large bag of boxed lunches. The teppanyaki had gone cold, and it would taste much worse if it didn't taste like that.

"Nidoking, go deliver this to Officer Jenny, whom we met this morning." Mr. Giovanni readily agreed to the delivery, and Nidoking patted his chest as he took the lunchbox from Heath's hand and headed out.

"The teppanyaki won't taste good if it gets cold, but luckily I have a solution." Heath quickly calmed down. Everyone was willing to wait for him, so he certainly couldn't let them eat cold food. With that in mind, Heath called out Charmeleon. Then, with Charmeleon's help, Heath reheated the teppanyaki and made some extra side dishes, including fried tofu and braised pork.

Looking at Sakaki, Officer Jenny, Officer Jenny, and Officer Jenny who were waiting for her, Heath widened her eyes and sat down with a smile, holding a small bowl.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. This is some pickled vegetables and scallions I made." Heath sat down. The hot food smelled delicious, but at this moment, nothing was more important to Heath than the people who were waiting for him to eat with him.

Chapter 454 Ideals and Reality

Heath sat in his food cart, grinning broadly, his shoulders shrug. He had made an unusually large sum of money today. After deducting costs, Heath estimated he had netted over 20,000 Alliance Coins—an astronomical figure. But for Heath, this was a good number. If he could do this every day, he could break even in three days. However, Heath knew that doing this every day would be very difficult. But there was also good news: Heath's Three Kingdoms card packs had finally expanded their sales channels. Many children were curious about the card packs that Heath had launched.

"Zoroark, your salary will increase by another five hundred today. This is your overtime pay." Hiss smiled and took out one thousand League Coins and handed them to Zoroark. Zoroark jumped up excitedly and bumped his head against the ceiling. Hiss's lips twitched. Is this guy's jumping ability that good?

Heath ignored the overjoyed Zoroark and instead gave Farfetch'd, Charmeleon, and Snorlax overtime pay, since they were all exhausted today, giving Heath a feeling of being back in Mossdeep City.

After the spoils were divided, Heath breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the floor. He hadn't felt anything while he was busy, but now that he had some free time, he felt instantly tired and sleepy.

"Just a short nap..." Heath yawned, wanting only to close his eyes and relax for a few seconds.

But Heath had barely closed his eyes when he fell asleep, his breathing becoming even. The exhausted Pokémon exchanged glances, then gathered around and lay down beside Heath, falling asleep against him as well. Only Snorlax scratched its big belly in confusion. It had wanted to sleep with its trainer, but considering its body temperature, it didn't dare to go over.

"Roar~" Charmeleon roared softly, then made room for it, and nudged it with its tail. Snorlax happily rushed over and placed one paw next to Heath. Although Charmeleon's tail was still in between, Snorlax was content.
