I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

“Dark Lugia… I originally thought that such a special Pokémon shouldn’t exist in this world, but I didn’t expect it to appear.” Hiss clicked his tongue, but upon closer inspection, it didn’t seem to make any sense. After all, there are many Lugia species, and not all Lugia that have appeared are the same one.

Looking at it this way, Heath understands why Ho-Oh is in such a strange mood today. It's probably because it discovered the appearance of Dark Lugia. Although Heath knows that there was such a special Pokémon, he doesn't know the storyline, since he hasn't played that game.

At least Heath now knows what Ho-Oh is worried about, and Heath can continue to pay attention to this issue in the future. When Ho-Oh returns to its carefree self, it means that this matter should have been resolved.

[You've completed a special achievement: What? This isn't just a legend?]

You have received a special reward: a lottery ticket.

Heath was taken aback. This could actually complete a mission? This really surprised Heath, but in a way, it was a good thing.

After all, the probability of obtaining lottery tickets is already very low. Although you often draw some strange things, they are still quite rare.

"Use the lottery ticket!" Heath used the lottery ticket immediately, feeling like he was blessed with incredible luck and had the upper hand!

[You used a lottery ticket and obtained the purity of Yujiro Hanma]

"?" Heath was completely bewildered. What kind of weird thing did he just pull out this time? The purity of Yujiro Hanma? Can you even pull out something like that?

Isn't this just a concept? How did it become an obtainable reward?

Heath felt his pockets, but they were empty. So what exactly is this purity?

Chapter 488 Parents with big tempers are really scary

Although Heath was very curious about what exactly this "purity" of Yujiro Hanma was, he couldn't find anything or any explanation to tell him about it, so he could only leave it for the time being. Anyway, the things he drew would eventually prove useful, and he could take a look when the time came.

So far, apart from the damaged Anywhere Door that is temporarily unusable, everything else that Heath has drawn is quite useful. Therefore, Heath has high expectations for this purity. He wants to see what it will be like when this purity manifests in himself.

Heath patiently waited for the afternoon to arrive. Elementary school students get out of school earlier than middle school students, so at 4:30 pm, Heath welcomed his first group of elementary school students. Heath warmly welcomed them, although many parents didn't look too happy. After all, they felt that their children didn't eat at home but insisted on going out to buy these meals with strange cards as a bonus, which made them somewhat unhappy.

However, Heath's store displays nutritional assessment reports, and these gift cards don't cost extra; they're still priced the same. One parent bought a curry chicken rice without the gift card and found that it cost exactly the same as the one with the gift card.

This left these parents with no outlet for their anger; they could only patiently wait for their children to buy the food they wanted, and then, with dark expressions, drag their children away.

Heath looked thoughtfully at the somewhat emotional parents in front of him. In Heath's eyes, parents were probably the most troublesome creatures in the world, much more troublesome than unruly children. After all, in order to protect their children from their own perspective, parents could always do all sorts of strange things, such as reporting cartoons, games, novels, and all sorts of things. But not a single unruly parent ever reflected on the fact that their failure to educate their child was actually their own problem.

However, this seems to be human nature; people always try to protect their own interests. For example, when someone is criticized, their subconscious reaction is often to look for other excuses rather than admitting their mistake immediately.

"It seems that leaving tomorrow was the right choice." Heath stretched. He felt that if he continued to sell here, he might be reported by these parents. Although some parents were very well-mannered, there were always some who were very troublesome. If Heath were to be bothered by these annoying parents, it would be very troublesome.

Who knows, it might even create a Pokémon-themed version of the meme, "What's wrong with your restaurant?"

"Trainer... good morning... um... good afternoon!" Zoroark yawned and crawled out of the rest room, lazily stretching. Hiss watched Zoroark touch his nose. These little guys are finally awake?

"Good afternoon, would you like something to eat?" Heath asked calmly. He had also stayed up all night, so he knew that besides feeling dizzy, the strongest feeling after staying up all night was probably the hunger in one's stomach.

After all, these little guys hadn't eaten anything before going to sleep, and they would always feel hungry if they didn't eat.

Hiss had already prepared food for Snorlax, since Snorlax has a big appetite and is most likely to wake up hungry.

Sure enough, upon hearing Heath's words, Zoroark awkwardly clutched his stomach and nodded. Then Farfetch'd emerged from the lounge, looking at Heath with some embarrassment.

Heath smiled and shook his head, then began preparing dinner for Zoroark and the others.

After staying up all night, one is usually very hungry, and at this time, Heath thought that making a dish of fried tofu and braised pork with rice would be a good choice. So Heath quickly started making this unique dish. Heath had made fried tofu and braised pork many times, and the most important point was the balance of lean and fatty pork and the proportion of other ingredients. If the balance was good, the dish would taste great, but if too many ingredients were used, it would be too salty. Fortunately, these problems were not a problem for Heath.

After all, Heath had made quite a few dishes of fried tofu and braised pork, so making them now would just take some time, which could be quickly made up for in Dialluca's pressure cooker.

Dialga pressure cookers are really perfect for cooking, and they're also perfect for a chef. Looking at the Dialga knife, Dialga pressure cooker, and Dialga spice jars in his hands, Heath felt that one day in the future, all the kitchen utensils in his house might turn into Dialga.

Before long, Heath had prepared a dish of braised pork with fried tofu, then put it in a large bowl and placed it on the table, along with a large bowl of rice for each of her Pokémon.

Histor rested his chin on his hand and watched them eat. Actually, the way Snorlax ate was the most interesting. It ate one bowlful at a time, and it also ate one bowlful of braised pork. After finishing, it would pick up the Snorlax food that Histor had specially prepared for it, soaked in the braised pork broth, and pour it into its mouth, thus finishing its meal very quickly.

The Charizard ate slowly, but also quickly. It would chew each bite for a while before swallowing it slowly, and then quickly scoop up a large spoonful and put it in its mouth to continue eating.

Farfetch'd was much more normal, but perhaps because he was learning to cook from Heath, he would carefully taste Heath's cooking while eating, and then absorb what he could learn from it.

As for Zoroark...

Heath glanced at Zoroark, who was reading his light novel while eating. Heath's lips twitched. No wonder his parents always scolded him when he ate while looking at his phone at the table. It turns out that seeing someone else eating while reading a novel did indeed give him a strange feeling of unease.

Heath took a deep breath and ignored it, because he still liked to look at his phone while eating, and he always felt that it made the food taste better, which was very strange.

"Let me see, if we leave Dark Grey City for Lavender Town tomorrow, which route should we take?" Heath shook his head, then took out his phone. He decided to check the route from Dark Grey City to Lavender Town. Generally speaking, the highway would be the fastest, while the side roads would have to pass through Cerulean City.

Chapter 489 Departure! Purple Garden Town!

Most of the Kanto region is flat, which makes many of its highways quite straight. Heath just checked and found that if he takes the highway directly from Pewter City, he can reach Lavender Town as early as 2 PM that day. Lavender Town is actually the largest and most populous town in Kanto, thanks to the Pokémon Tower. Heath even heard that the League plans to upgrade Lavender Town to Lavender City.

While this may seem unbelievable, upon closer examination, the significance of Lavender Town becomes more understandable. After all, the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town is renowned throughout the Kanto region, and the people of Kanto believe that the existence of the Pokémon Tower allows the souls of Pokémon buried there to find peace, and that in the future, those Pokémon will accompany their trainers in another way.

Therefore, Lavender Town is actually very popular. Many trainers who have lost their Pokémon choose to live in Lavender Town to keep their departed partners company.

At first, Ziyuan Town was just a small town. As more and more people settled there, Ziyuan Town gradually developed into a place much larger than a small town, and it is almost the scale of a city.

“Lavender Town…” His expression was somewhat complicated. He thought of Grandpa Ma Zhide in Viridian City. After Grandpa Ma Zhide’s Charizard died, it was buried in the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. The once incredibly healthy old man had become hunchbacked. His hadn’t seen Grandpa Ma Zhide for a long time.

Thinking back now, Heath really misses the old man who used to bring his Charizard to buy food. He wonders if Grandpa Ma Zhide is feeling any better now.

After entertaining the afternoon guests, Heath bid farewell to Officer Jenny, bought some ingredients, and then set off for Lavender Town.

"By the way, Heath, do you remember the girl you delivered to the Pokémon Center, Kazumi?" After setting up autopilot, Heath remembered Officer Jenny's words. Heath nodded at the time, since he had delivered Kazumi there this morning. Heath's memory wasn't so bad that he couldn't remember something like this.

"Miss Kazumi's medical report is out. She's been poisoned. The poison is very dangerous. However, according to our investigation, this poison seems to be one that Team Rocket commonly uses. You need to be careful. Luckily, she didn't eat you..." Officer Jenny was speaking very seriously to Heath, but Heath paused for a moment, implying that Kazumi's poisoning might have been done by Team Rocket.

Heath naturally understood what Officer Jenny meant. She probably meant that it was fortunate that Hemi didn't collapse after eating Heath's food, otherwise it would definitely have affected Heath's food truck. Sometimes people are just like that; even with an official explanation, people still tend to overthink things.

“Team Rocket…” Heath scratched his head. Although Giovanni had a lot of charisma, he had to admit that Team Rocket was indeed a dark organization.

However, Kazumi is considered a high-ranking officer in Team Aqua, so when Team Rocket messed with her, Heath just thought it was a dog-eat-dog situation.

Heath didn't dwell on it for long. His food truck was already on the highway. Highways in the Pokémon world are toll-free because the cost of building them has already been recouped, so there's no need to pay any more tolls. That's a good thing, saving him a lot of trouble.

Heath yawned as he returned to his lounge. The highway was currently straight with no curves, unlike the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in his previous life, where driving there would be terrifying.

The thought of those roads built almost on the edge of cliffs made Heath's palms sweat. He had once driven to a place that was said to be a must-visit once in a lifetime. After entering the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, some roads were relatively good, but others really made you feel like you were driving on the edge of a cliff at any moment. It seemed like turning the steering wheel would send the car tumbling down. And that wasn't even the most dangerous road. The most dangerous road was one that cars couldn't travel on, only motorcycles. And sometimes when going around a bend, half of the motorcycle's front wheel might be on the edge of the cliff.

However, the locals were very used to it. They rode the motorcycles down at high speeds, making Heath's legs go weak when he got off. It was really terrifying.

Moreover, on some highways, if you are driving a large truck with a high driving position, you can't see the guardrails and can only see the surrounding valleys, as if you are driving on the edge of a cliff, which is very unfriendly to drivers with acrophobia.

When Heath was taking her driving test in Evergreen, she heard that in some areas, driving on certain routes required a separate test for a dangerous road section license to ensure there were no issues like acrophobia before being allowed on the road. Heath was curious about which routes had such stringent requirements.

Fortunately, most of the Kanto region is flat, so there's no need to worry about cliffs or steep slopes while driving.

"Trainer, are you going to sleep?" Zoroark blinked his big eyes and asked Hiss. Hiss yawned and nodded. There was nothing to do now. Unless there was a traffic jam on the highway, Hiss wouldn't find anything to do, so he might as well take a nap. By the time he woke up, they would probably be in Lavender Town.

"What are we going to do if we can't sleep?" Zoroark asked Heath. Heath was taken aback. Come to think of it, these little guys had only just woken up in the afternoon, and it would be a bit difficult to get them to sleep until tomorrow.

"Then let's go play games." Heath yawned. Anyway, the soundproofing in the lounge was excellent. Even if his Pokémon were dancing all night in the next room, Heath could still sleep soundly. He had to admit that the reward from his cheat system was really good.

"But those games aren't very interesting...and I haven't bought any new games lately..." Zoroark's voice was sweet and coquettish.

Heston paused for a moment, then gave Zoroark a strange look. He now understood what Zoroark meant; this guy probably just wanted to ask him for money to buy new games to play.

"Let me introduce you to a new game..." Hiss yawned and led Zoroark outside. He looked at the Pokémon that were still awake, counted them, and said, "Hmm, three."

Snorlax is already asleep. For Snorlax, sleeping for seventy-two hours is no problem.

Three Pokémon, that's just right.

So Heath took out a deck of cards.

"The name of this game is Dou Dizhu..." Heath explained slowly.

Chapter 490 A Different Purple Garden Town

Heath sat up in bed in a daze. Last night, after teaching his Pokémon how to play Dou Dizhu (a card game), Heath went to sleep.

At first, Heath thought about going to check out the cockpit, but after less than ten minutes, he gave up the idea because it was just too boring. The scenery was almost identical the whole way, and it was just straight ahead. Heath felt like he was being hypnotized after a while because it was so boring. So he gave up and went back to his lounge to sleep.

However, Heath felt much more refreshed after sleeping. He took out his phone and glanced at the time. It was six in the morning. Usually, Heath would have already gotten up and started getting ready to wash up and buy his groceries by this time. But right now, Heath had to check where the food truck was.

“But speaking of which… I seem to have forgotten about Mew again?” Heath scratched his head, seemingly without any problem. He had indeed forgotten about Mew and hadn’t told it that he was going to Lavender Town. But thinking about it carefully, it couldn’t be blamed on Heath. After all, Mew hadn’t been on his dining car before, so not telling it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Heath pushed open the door of the food cart and went out, then went to the lounge. As soon as he arrived at the lounge, he saw his Pokémon gathered together playing Dou Dizhu (a card game). The difference was that Charmeleon wasn't playing this time; it was exercising. Snorlax, on the other hand, had taken Charmeleon's place and started its own card game.

"You guys stayed up all night again?" Heath's expression wasn't very good. If these kids stayed up all night again, then he would have to entertain the guests all by himself again today.

"No, Trainer, we can only play after we've woken up~" Zoroark's tail wagged, and there were some notes stuck to her face.

It seems these little guys followed Heath's advice and chose to play the game by sticking stickers on their faces. After all, Heath doesn't allow them to engage in any gambling involving money or anything else, and Heath hates that kind of behavior.

Heath glanced at them; they looked fine, with no dark circles under their eyes, and certainly didn't seem to have stayed up all night. So he didn't pay them any more attention and went into the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, Heath went to the driver's seat and looked outside.

It was the familiar highway again. Heath looked at the electronic map on the dining car and found that it was only about a ten-minute drive to Purple Garden.

"Looks like the trip to Purple Garden will be pretty easy today." Heath yawned. Although Heath actually hoped for traffic jams, since that would allow him to continue entertaining his guests, the thought of traffic jams reminded him of that shrewd little kid from last time. It has to be said that most kids have different talents. Some are academic geniuses who can easily get first place in their grade even while playing around, while others are the type who just can't learn anything but have exceptional talent in sports.

Heath believed that when humans are born, they are like gamers who have forgotten their best profession. If they can find their own profession early on, they can avoid some detours in the future.

Of course, if Heath had the ability to see other people's professions, he would have become a teacher long ago. Heath felt that his profession was probably just a chef, but he was quite satisfied with his profession and had no complaints about it.

According to Heath, the happiest thing in the world is if a person can do a job they love and still make a living from that job.

The ten-minute drive wasn't very long, and Heath soon got off the highway and arrived at a unique place. A sign by the roadside told Heath that he had come to the right place; this was Lavender Town. However, looking at the Lavender Town sign, Heath felt his mood suddenly calm down.

Purple Garden Town – A Place of Rest for Souls

Heath took a deep breath. Yes, this is Lavender Town. In the entire Kanto region, it is the most famous and renowned place because it is the resting place of countless Pokémon after their deaths, and also the place where countless trainers choose to live out their days alone. Lavender Town has never been an ordinary town, but a place where the souls of humans and Pokémon rest in peace.

“Lady's Town…” Heath clicked his tongue. But now Heath knew that after humans died, their souls would go to the next world, and Pokémon should be the same. It’s just that some Pokémon might become Ghost-type Pokémon by various coincidences and then live in this world in a brand new form.

However, some Ghost Pokémon retain memories of their previous lives, while others do not. Heath wasn't entirely sure about this either. If you were to ask Professor Oak, you would probably get a more accurate answer.

From the moment Heath entered Lavender Town, he sensed that this place was different from others. If Evergreen City was a warm and welcoming city, and Deep Grey City was a city that always seemed to be floating in dust, then Lavender Town was a peaceful place. Heath's food truck soon entered the roads of Lavender Town, but the people and things around him gave Heath a very strange feeling. It seemed that everything here was very peaceful.

Many people were walking on the street. Some had happy smiles on their faces, while others had no expression or anger on their faces, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with them anymore.

Not far away, Heath saw a huge complex of buildings, which he knew was the Pokémon Tower.

It's called the Pokémon Tower, but as more and more people came to bury their Pokémon there, the original Pokémon Tower couldn't handle so many deaths. So the League turned a mountain into a tower, which was named the Pokémon Tower, a place for the dead to rest in peace.

Although this is Lavender Town, Heath still intends to greet Officer Jenny here first. Unfortunately, Heath doesn't know Officer Jenny, and Maple hasn't mentioned her either. He can only try to find out what kind of person she is.

Finding Officer Jenny was very easy; Heath quickly located her on duty by the roadside.

Chapter 491 The Unpopular Heath
