I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

“Trainer, it says it recently discovered an intruder has entered their territory and is warning you to be careful.” Zoroia shuddered; she swore she would never let Heath ruffle her head like that—it felt like kneading dough!

Heath paused for a moment. Heath really couldn't understand what Arbok was saying, but now that Zorro had him, he could translate it.

"What intruder?" Hiss was a little confused. Could it be that someone in Qing City had abandoned their Pokémon again?

Such things are not surprising. After all, in a huge city like Evergreen, there are all kinds of people. Heath had previously encountered someone who ate a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and then ran away without paying. If it weren't for Officer Jenny passing by, Heath felt that he would probably have seen the first person in his life who ate and dashed.

There are also quite a few people who abandon their Pokémon. Most Pokémon are abandoned by their trainers for various reasons. For example, Ekans was abandoned in the wild to fend for itself because it was sick and lost sight in one eye. The treatment was very expensive. If it hadn't been lucky, it probably would have died.

"It said it didn't know either, it only smelled a strange odor, like the smell of sweat evaporating." Soroya dutifully performed the role of translator.

Heath's expression became even stranger. What did he mean by the smell of evaporating sweat? Did such a strange smell still exist these days? Heath thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the smell of evaporating sweat should be like.

Although he didn't quite understand what Arbok and the others were talking about, Heath kept their kind reminder in mind. He thought that some other Pokémon might have been abandoned.

After Meow Meow and the others left, Heath began to wait for mealtime. Evergreen City was actually quite similar to ordinary human cities, with most people eating around mealtimes and in the morning before going to work. Heath had been here for so long that he had figured it out by now.

However, occasionally some customers who don't have to work come to eat, so Heath doesn't pack up his stall.

"Little Hiss, today there's... um? What's this? Can I eat it?" Grandpa Ma Zhide walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, while Charizard followed his trainer with a wobbly gait.

“Yes, Grandpa Ma Zhide, this is a new dish I recently introduced, and it tastes pretty good.” Heath smiled, and Ma Zhide was pointing to the braised pork with fried tofu.

"Oh, okay? Then please give me two servings, I'd like to try some too." Grandpa Ma Zhide smiled, revealing his missing teeth, which made him look rather cute when he smiled.

Heath nodded. Fried tofu and braised pork with rice was the easiest dish to make at the moment. He only needed to scoop out a bowl of rice, then pour on the fried tofu and braised pork, and that was it.

Charizard looked curiously at the Caterpie on Hiss's shoulder. This Caterpie gave it a strange feeling. Although it was a Caterpie that could be instantly incinerated by a spark on the roadside, Charizard still felt that something was off.

"Ah-Pyro! How old are you? We're way past the days of being chased all over the forest by Caterpie!" Grandpa Ma Zhide glared at his Pokémon, stopping Charizard's urge to go over and take a look.

When Hiss heard what Grandpa Ma Zhide said, he almost couldn't help but laugh, while Charizard's face turned black. That was practically its dark history, but its trainer loved to bring it up.

"Trainer, what are you laughing at?" Zoroya looked at Hiss in confusion, not understanding what was so funny.

Heath cleared his throat, didn't reply, but instead handed two bowls of fried tofu, braised pork, and rice to Grandpa Ma Zhide, watching as Grandpa Ma Zhide and his aging fire-breathing dragon accepted them.

"Grandpa Ma Zhide, you still remember what happened back then?" Heath said with a smile. Charizard glared at Heath, but it was no use; Heath's attack power did not decrease.

"Hahaha, of course I remember. Back then, I took Charizard, who was still a little Charmander, to Evergreen Forest for training, and this little guy..." Looking at Ma Zhide's hearty laughter, Charizard angrily exhaled a puff of smoke, but when the smoke got onto the food, it quickly inhaled it back.

This food smells delicious.

Chapter 36 Sakaki: Thank you.

Zoroia flicked her tail in boredom. She thought these humans were really strange. It was just a little dragon being chased by a bunch of caterpillars all over the Evergreen Forest. What was so funny about that?

But looking at the senile Charizard, Zoroah was a little curious. This Charizard shouldn't be very big, so why was it so old?

“Oh dear… Grandpa Ma Zhide, I can’t help but laugh every time you talk about it.” Heath wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Although she already knew about Charizard, the thought of Charmander being chased by a swarm of Caterpie made Heath feel an urge to laugh again.

"Hahaha, this is Charizard's dark history, I'll remember it for the rest of my life." Grandpa Ma Zhide chuckled and patted Charizard on the shoulder. Charizard bared its teeth at Heath. If Heath hadn't done it on purpose, why would Charizard have to hear its dark history again?

After paying, Grandpa Ma Zhide left, smiling as he strolled leisurely through Evergreen City with his Charizard. Evergreen City was a bit chilly in winter, and Charizard was wearing a roughly made sweater, which Grandpa Ma Zhide had knitted for it.

After Ma Zhide left, Zoroya also raised the question in its mind: it really didn't understand why the fire-breathing dragon looked so old.

“Grandpa Ma Zhide used to be an investigator for the League. Charizard’s injuries started back then and have accumulated until now. Miss Joy said that Charizard’s vitality has been greatly depleted, so…” Heath sighed. Grandpa Ma Zhide’s situation was not a secret in Evergreen City.

In fact, everyone in Evergreen City knows about Grandpa Ma Zhide. After all, this accomplished old man was the protagonist of a League movie, and his story with Charizard has inspired countless young trainers.

During that period, Charizard became the most popular Pokémon in the entire Kanto region. Even now, Charizard remains very popular, and Charmander is always the number one choice for starter Pokémon every year.

Seeing that Zoroia had fallen silent, Heath smiled and touched her little ears. Zoroia shrank her ears, glared at Heath, and then turned around, presenting her back to Heath.

Heath was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she still turned around to prepare lunch for her two Pokémon.

"Farfetch'd, your cooking time is still a bit off... How about this, I'll set a time for you." Heath looked at Farfetch'd, feeling a bit of a headache.

The knife skills of the leek duck were excellent, but the control of the heat was like something out of a disaster horror movie. Heath found that the leek duck always had problems with the roasting step.

Although roasting duck is a simple dish, and you can judge whether it's cooked through using a fixed time, a qualified chef needs to master the timing of roasting the duck himself.

The quality of the duck meat, the type of honey and oil applied to it, and even the day's weather temperature all need to be taken into account. This is why Heath can make a very good roast duck, while scallion duck cannot.

"Green onion...green onion!" Farfetch'd waved the green onion in its hand with great fighting spirit. Heath looked at Farfetch'd with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

The little guy was unwilling, but thinking about it, it would be good to use this time to let Farfetch'd get a feel for the cooking time, which would make things easier for him in the future. So Heath gave up the idea of ​​cooking with a formula.

……

"Um... Sabrina, what are you doing?" Sakaki stared blankly at Sabrina standing in his kitchen, lost in deep thought. Hadn't he told Sabrina to return to Golden City and await the organization's next steps?

“…I, I want to cook…” Sabrina looked at Giovanni coldly. Giovanni didn’t care much. He knew Sabrina’s personality. This girl seemed to know nothing about smiles and sorrows. There was no particular emotion on her face.

"Huh? Cooking?" Sakaki was a little confused by Sabrina's words. He really didn't expect that his subordinate was planning to cook at his home.

Naz nodded. She remembered what she had heard from Heath before: the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Naz thought this made a lot of sense. Didn’t you see that Heath had won over Giovanni’s stomach?

If Heath knew that Natsume was commenting on him like that, he would definitely cry foul, saying that he was just invited by Giovanni to cook a meal.

Then, before Giovanni could react, Sabrina walked up to him with a bowl in her hands and presented it to him.

Sakaki looked at the bowl in front of him. It smelled like cucumber and chicken soup. Sakaki noticed a cookbook in the kitchen that said cucumber and egg soup with rice. However, Sabrina seemed to have noticed Sakaki's gaze as well.

Under Sakaki's watchful gaze, the cookbook was dragged aside by an invisible force.

Sakaki's lips twitched, but seeing Sabrina stubbornly standing in front of him, he still smiled and took the bowl, intending to put it on the table next to him.

Then Giovanni noticed that Sabrina was still looking at him, staring intently at him. This made Giovanni feel a bit pressured. In order not to disappoint his subordinate, Giovanni picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"How...how is it?" Sabrina asked Sakaki with a cold face, making it look like some kind of experimental scene.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Giovanni said with a smile, and then, in his capacity as the leader of Team Rocket, he ordered Sabrina to return to Goldenrod City and gather intelligence.

After Sabrina left, Giovanni clutched his stomach and frowned. If he hadn't seen the cucumber and egg in the cucumber and egg soup, he would have thought he had accidentally drunk a bowl of salt water.

"Hiss... What's wrong with Sabrina?" Sakaki felt a little unwell. He couldn't understand why Sabrina was so insistent on cooking for him. Didn't she say yesterday that she wasn't interested in cooking?

……

"Ah... Achoo!" Heath sneezed, rubbing his nose. Farfetch'd had accidentally gotten charcoal dust on his face again, but at that moment Heath was very happy.

Because the leek duck had finally produced a roast duck that Heath considered presentable enough to sell to customers.

[Big Green Duck made a pretty good roast duck all by himself, and you've earned the Mobile Kitchen Experiment Type I]

Heath paused for a moment. This reward was indeed quite unique, but what did "prototype mobile kitchen" mean? And how was he supposed to get this thing?

Chapter 37 Driving a Big Truck

Before long, Heath found the so-called mobile kitchen prototype on his stall. It was a very tiny food cart that looked just like the model cars he used to play with in his previous life.

Yes, it's the kind of car model made to scale down from the real car, not the kind with super long legs.

"This thing..." Heath looked at the small model car in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to put it away. Now that they were outside, Heath was worried that if he opened it, there might be some troublesome problems.

After all, it was rather strange to suddenly have a brand-new food truck appear in front of you.

As lunchtime approached, Heath became busy once again. This time, however, Heath launched a limited-edition roast duck dish. Fried rice and jianbing (Chinese crepes) could be served with roast duck for an extra 10 Alliance Coins.

Heath had initially thought the roast duck would take a while to sell out, but to his surprise, the customers showed extraordinary enthusiasm and quickly bought up all of Heath's roast duck.

"Wow, that's incredible!" Heath exclaimed, a bright smile spreading across his face as he looked at the small amount of money in his pocket.

Heath suddenly realized the benefits of Farfetch'd learning to cook. Farfetch'd could be a great help when he traveled to other cities or opened a restaurant. It could be considered a unique Pokémon helper.

After lunchtime, Heath, along with Farfetch'd and Zoroah, packed up their stall and headed home. From this time until lunchtime, there would be virtually no one around.

Upon arriving at the dormitory area, Heath couldn't wait to take out the small food cart. Looking at the cart in his hand, he was somewhat conflicted about how to start it.

After thinking for a moment, Heath placed the food cart on the ground and poked it, but nothing happened.

"Trainer, what are you doing?" Zoroya jumped off Hiss curiously, then looked at the food cart in front of him and reached out to rummage around.

"No, this is my food cart. I'm just figuring out how to open it." Heath picked up Zorua; his soft, furry body was very pleasant to touch.

Just after Heath finished speaking, the food truck in front of him suddenly expanded, and then, to Heath's astonishment, quickly transformed into a food truck the size of a motorhome.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Zoroya stared in shock at the scene before him. How did this giant food cart appear out of nowhere? And it looked exactly like the one he had just touched.

Heath opened his mouth, then silently opened the door of the food cart and went inside. He wanted to see what this thing that the cheat code had given him was actually for.

After looking around, Heath's expression became even stranger, because he was somewhat surprised by the size of the food cart in front of him.

The food cart wasn't very big, but what surprised Heath the most was its design. It had almost everything you needed for cooking, including an oven for roasting duck and even some obscure equipment that Heath himself didn't recognize.

But what pleased Heath the most was the large refrigerator and freezer. Heath felt that if he drove this food truck out, he wouldn't need to bring anything the chefs needed.

The only downside was that the food cart was truly just a food cart; everything was prepared for the chefs, and there were no beds or toilets. But even so, Heath was very satisfied.

But as satisfied as he was, Heath was now having a headache about how to explain his sudden appearance with this food truck. He figured he wouldn't be able to get past Officer Jenny.

Just as Heath was having a headache, he suddenly noticed a red button next to the cutting board on the food cart with the word "Reasonable" written on it. Curious, Heath pressed it.

Heath was immediately ejected, and the food truck vanished. Just as Heath was bewildered and wondering if his cheat system had malfunctioned, his phone rang.

Heath pulled out his cheap cell phone from his pocket. It was given to him by Sister Feng, and although it was left over after Officer Feng got a new phone, it was enough for Heath, since he only needed to make calls and send messages.

"Hello?" Heath answered the phone.

"Hello, are you Mr. Heath?" It was a very pleasant girl's voice. Heath thought that she could easily be a voice actor.

After Heath confirmed his identity, the girl opposite him told him in a very happy voice that he had won the experimental Model I of the latest mobile food truck launched by the Shiruff Corporation and needed Heath to provide some delivery information.

In his past life, Heath would have laughed at these con artists for their outdated tricks without hesitation. But thinking about the food truck that had just disappeared and that other reasonable option, Heath silently provided his information.

After providing the prize, the girl told Heath that he would receive it that day.

After hanging up the phone, Heath was still a little bewildered. This surprise came too suddenly. However, it also relieved Heath. It seemed that his cheat ability was quite strong, even able to do something like this.

Just as it was almost dinnertime, Heath finally received his prize: the same food cart that the Golden Finger had given him, except that the "reasonable" button was gone.

This naturally attracted the attention of the television station. A reporter from Evergreen came here to conduct an interview, and Heath obtained a brand new dining car through official procedures.

"Heath, I never thought you'd have this kind of luck." Officer Jenny looked at Heath with a strange expression. She never imagined that Heath, who was always unlucky, would actually win the lottery one day.

"Sister Feng... my face isn't that bad, okay?" Heath said, both amused and exasperated, but this time winning the lottery was indeed related to her cheat code.

“This car is nice… but Heath, do you have a driver’s license?” Officer Jenny clicked her tongue as she looked at Heath’s food truck and asked casually.

Heath was taken aback; he really didn't have a driver's license.

"Oh? Doesn't little Heath have a driver's license?" Officer Jenny, who was watching the commotion from the side, gave a bright smile.
