I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Officer Jenny doesn't just handle police duties; she also serves as a traffic police officer and a special police officer. Take Officer Jenny, for example. Although she's a bit of a rascal, she's the traffic captain of Evergreen City and is quite skilled. Her Arcanine is only slightly slower than Maple's, and she's very well-trained.

It has to be said that every Officer Jenny is a ruthless person. As Sister Feng once said, if you don't want her to attend the memorial service, then you should hone your skills. So, although Evergreen City is a very peaceful city with a low crime rate, Officer Jenny still trains very diligently.

Officer Jenny's rise to fame is actually somewhat related to Heath...

Heath remembered the first time she made barbecue, Officer Shalana got a bit tipsy and drank a lot of beer, becoming slightly drunk. At that time, Officer Shalana inadvertently revealed that she was involved in capturing a notorious motorcycle thief who was once very famous throughout the entire capital. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Sister Feng punched her hard and dragged her away with a dark face. Heath could only pretend that she didn't hear it, otherwise Heath felt that Officer Shalana would probably be tortured to death by Sister Feng.

Although Sister Feng and the others kept the fact that he was the child of a biker thief from Heath, only Heath actually knew the truth. However, just to be considerate of Sister Feng's feelings, Heath pretended to be completely unaware.

It has to be said that this was quite easy, because Heath himself knew nothing about the glorious deeds of the biker thief, and when he transmigrated, he simply broke through some black shells on his body and emerged. His actual appearance was that of Heath when he was a child, so Heath never thought that he was someone who inherited the body of his predecessor; he was just himself.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of Miss Officer Jenny, Heath arrived at Officer Jenny's Brigade in Lavender Town, but upon arrival, Heath sensed the difference in Lavender Town.

Lavender Town is theoretically on the same level as Pallet Town, but the problem is that the Officer Jenny Brigade in Lavender Town looks similar to the Officer Jenny Brigade in Evergreen City. They are both large in scale and have a lot of people. After Heath showed his honorary Officer Jenny badge, he met the captain of the Officer Jenny Brigade in Lavender Town.

This was a woman who seemed cold and aloof. She had a deep scar on her left eye, running from her forehead to her cheek, which gave her a somewhat chilling appearance.

"So you're Heath? Welcome to Lavender Town. The areas in Lavender Town where you can set up a stall are under the jurisdiction of the Industry and Commerce Department. Go find the Industry and Commerce Department. Don't come here unless it's important." The captain named Officer Jenny looked at Heath very coldly, didn't arrange a place for Heath to stay, and simply told Heath to leave.

Heath blinked. To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Before, whether it was the Indigo League, Pryde City, or Pallet Town, as long as Heath mentioned it, he would immediately be arranged to stay with Officer Jenny. But he didn't expect to be turned away here.

Although Heath knew that the Kanto region was so big that not every Officer Jenny would know Maple, Heath did not expect that on her very first day in Lavender Town, this captain would completely ignore her. Heath even felt that the other party was actually planning to tell her to get lost, but did not say it for various reasons.

However, Heath didn't care too much. Heath had already thought about what might happen today when he embarked on his journey. So even though he couldn't stay in Officer Jenny's parking lot, he could easily settle down as long as he found a parking space.

However, despite saying that, it was actually the first time Heath had applied for a stall location at the business department. Fortunately, after buying a map and updating the food truck system, Heath successfully found the business department in Lavender Town and spent 300 Alliance Coins a day to obtain a free-roaming stall license, so he wouldn't have to worry about it being taken away by someone else.

"Without Officer Jenny's care, I'm really not used to it." Heath scratched his head. He didn't hate Officer Jenny, but he was curious why she seemed to have a big problem with him. He knew that no matter where he went, he always paid for his lodging with his excellent cooking skills, but Officer Jenny didn't even listen to his complaints and kicked him out without hesitation.

Having obtained the permit for setting up his stall, Heath needed to sort out his accommodation issue. As for the location, Heath had already decided on it. He chose a relatively bustling commercial area in Lavender Town. Actually, Heath had considered setting up his stall near the Pokémon Tower, but after thinking about it, he gave up on that plan.

After all, people who go to the Pokémon Tower to mourn their Pokémon are usually not in a good mood. Of course, the main reason is that the League does not allow business to be done there. Heath heard from the staff of the industry and commerce department that there are some public welfare units there. Unless Heath plans to provide free meals, it is impossible to be allowed to set up a stall there.

Fortunately, Lavender Town is quite large, so it wasn't too difficult for Heath to find a place to stay. He quickly found a parking lot very close to where he had left his car and temporarily became a resident there. However, when the parking lot owner saw that Heath was driving a food truck, he asked for an extra ten dollars in management fees. This made Heath take a deep breath, but this was indeed the rule of most parking lots in the Alliance, and Heath couldn't do anything about it.

"It's really tough to be out in the world without connections." Heath clicked his tongue, thinking back to his days in Dark Grey City and Pallet New Town, which were so easy. Parking fees and management fees were completely nonexistent.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Ziyuan Town, they encountered quite a few troubles.

Heath didn't stay long. This license costs money every day, and Heath didn't plan to apply for it today and then not use it at all; that would be a waste.

With that in mind, Heath drove his food truck to the market in Lavender Town and inquired about any local specialties.

Immediately afterwards, Heath bought a bag of vegetables that the vendors strongly recommended as a "specialty ingredient." Heath didn't know if these vendors were serious, but he had asked many vendors, and they all said that the specialty ingredient of Purple Garden was this unique "Resurrection Vegetable."

"That easy?"

Chapter 492

Thinking back, Heath used to struggle to complete even a simple quest. Finding cooking recipes for the edible quartz from the Quartz Alliance took him ages, and the local specialty of Pallet Town was highly poisonous; improper handling could land him in the hospital. Adding to the anxiety, Farfetch'd lost interest in anything exposed to light, nearly driving Heath to his death. And as for Pygmalion, if he hadn't obtained the Rockworm, he'd probably still be sitting there.

It must be said that the appearance of the Rock Worm was very timely, and it helped Heath out of his immediate predicament. Otherwise, Heath didn't know when he would be able to leave Dark Grey City.

But once Heath arrived in Lavender Town, everything seemed to go smoothly. At least Heath had obtained the town's specialty ingredients, and they didn't look too difficult to cook. The vegetable stall owner also enthusiastically told Heath how to make them. It was very simple, just like the ordinary vegetables in his previous life. He could just stir-fry them and eat them.

“…Wait, did I forget something?” Heath suddenly paused, put down the lettuce he was holding, and rushed into his bedroom. He found a file folder in a small drawer with a key on it. Heath looked at the key, his expression becoming complicated.

He remembered that it was given to him by Sister Feng, who said it was an inheritance left by his parents in Purple Garden. Heath had thought about coming to Purple Garden to take a look. Although he felt that he had no relation to his predecessor, he was still living under the name Heath, so it was only right to help others. However, he didn't expect that after coming to Purple Garden, he would forget about it. If he hadn't just thought of the special ingredients of Purple Garden, Heath might not have remembered this matter at all.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem too late. Heath took a deep breath. If that's the case, his food truck doesn't even need to be parked in that parking lot anymore.

Heath opened the file bag, inside which was a bag containing the key and a note with the house's address written on it. After looking at the map on the food truck, Heath planned the route. The house was conveniently located near the Pokémon Tower, making it a prime location.

The property prices in Lavender Town also radiate outwards, but unlike other cities where prices radiate outwards from the city center, in Lavender Town, prices radiate outwards from the Pokémon Tower. Therefore, the closer you are to the Pokémon Tower, the more expensive the property will be. This house is considered one of the best houses available, and if Heath sells it, he can probably achieve financial freedom.

Heath didn't know how he felt, but now he drove his food truck to the front of the house. When he got out of the truck, he saw his own house, a traditional house with ivy covering half of the walls. In addition to the house, there was a fairly large parking space. Heath used his key to open the iron gate of the house and parked his food truck inside.

"Trainer... Huh? Where is this place?" Zoroark and the others jumped down curiously. They thought they were about to open for business, but instead, Hiss drove the food truck to the door of a somewhat old-looking house.

“This…is my home.” Heath took a deep breath and looked at the house in front of him. There was a mailbox by the door. Heath walked over and opened it. There were some letters inside, but they were covered in dust. He took them out and looked at them carefully. They were all reminders for electricity and water bills, as well as notices of power and water outages. Judging from the time, the power and water had been cut off three years ago.

“I remember…” Heath scratched his head. Four years had passed since he transmigrated, and this house had been vacant for four years. It might have been auctioned off as an asset to pay off debts, but because it wasn’t discovered at the time, it remained untouched. Later, when it was discovered, Heath had already paid off his debts, so the house belonged to Heath.

Heath looked at the other letters, but found no valuable clues; they were all business notices and information. Only then did Heath take out his key and open the door that had been sealed for four years.

The first thing Heath did when he opened the door was to cover his mouth and nose and take a few steps back. He only breathed a sigh of relief after the dust kicked up by the door had dissipated. But what would a room that had been empty for four years look like? Heath didn't want to think about it at all, because he saw cockroaches crawling quickly across the room as soon as he opened the door.

"How can there be cockroaches in this place? This house is probably unusable." Although Heath really wanted to have the Charizard burn the house down, he held back. Wouldn't that be a waste of money?

Unfortunately, there are no Flying-type Pokémon in Heath, otherwise it would be very convenient to have a Flying-type Pokémon do the cleaning. The good news is that Lavender Town has a dedicated home cleaning service.

But before that, Heath still planned to go inside and see if there was anything unusual, since Heath knew that the house he inherited actually belonged to a pair of biker thieves.

However, as soon as Heath entered, he saw a picture frame covered in dust. He wiped it clean, glanced at it, and was momentarily stunned. He didn't recognize the couple in the picture, but the little boy in the middle looked exactly like Heath when he was a child.

It wasn't just that they looked alike, but that they were exactly the same. Heath had seen photos of himself as a child because his parents had made them into an album. So when he transmigrated and found that his face was the same as when he was a child, Heath was quite relieved. But he didn't expect that the Heath in this world was exactly the same as him.

“No wonder…” Heath was speechless. No wonder Sister Feng never doubted Heath’s true identity. It turns out he looks exactly like his predecessor.

Heath's feelings were quite complicated. He put down the photo frame, looked at the dusty house, hesitated for a moment, and decided that he shouldn't entertain guests today. He should tidy up his own house first.

Moreover, since the parents are notorious bike thieves, it's hard to say that there are some shady things in the house, although Heath thinks that Officer Jenny may have already searched it.

“Officer Jenny?” Heath was taken aback. If that was the case, then perhaps he could understand why Officer Jenny wasn’t giving him a friendly look. Maybe the biker thief had gone too far in Lavender Town.

"Farfetch'd, Charmeleon, Zoroark, Snorlax, come help!" Hiss shouted. He knew he couldn't handle it all by himself, but with the help of the Pokémon, it would be easier.

Chapter 493 Cleaning

In reality, cleaning was far more complicated than Heath had imagined. With such a large house, Heath had already spent a very long time just cleaning. Even with the help of Farfetch'd and Zoroark, Heath was still as tired as she had been in Mossdeep City.

However, the results were very gratifying. After Heath finished cleaning, he finally had a home of his own. During the cleaning process, Heath also discovered some little secrets about the house.

"This looks like Celebi's... no, it should be Celebi's information. Could it be that these parents are still researching Celebi?" Heath scratched his head as he looked at the information he had gathered from a study. He really hadn't. The thought that his parents were still researching Celebi made him wonder if they were a pair of biker thieves.

Heath was quite engrossed in looking at the documents. There was a lot of information in them, including a mention that the parents had once encountered Celebi in the forest. This surprised Heath. Although Celebi was hailed as the god of the forest, its main ability was actually time travel.

Furthermore, Celebi has a strong ability to sense its surroundings, so it is also rarely seen. Although it is not as rare as Mew, it is still a very rare Pokémon.

However, the fact that these parents, who could be considered villains, were able to encounter Celebi puzzled Hiss. Legendary Pokémon like this rarely appear in front of people with malicious intent.

"It seems these parents are far more special than I imagined." Heath put down the documents in his hand. He had no intention of studying Celebi, nor was he interested in any time-travel abilities.

Aside from the documents and materials, which are somewhat unusual, there's nothing else particularly noteworthy in this room.

The only noteworthy thing was that there were many photo albums in the room containing pictures of the parents and their child. Heath looked at the pictures and the child did indeed look almost exactly like himself.

This puzzled Heath somewhat, but for someone like Heath, focusing too much on questions that could never be answered would only make him feel troubled, so Heath quickly stopped thinking about it.

"Trainer, Trainer! Is this your home?" Zoroark was too tired to move at this point. She lay on the sofa, lazily stretching, and then looked at Hiss curiously and asked.

The Charmeleon was wiping its body with a towel, and when it heard Zoroark's words, it curiously looked up and glanced at him, showing its keen interest in the matter.

Charmander remembered that he first met Heath in Evergreen City, but he never expected that Heath would have a house of her own in this new city.

Farfetch'd wasn't too concerned about this issue; for him, as long as he could follow Heath, that was enough.

“This is indeed my house, but it was given to me by my parents. I’ve never been here before.” Heath shook his head. He knew nothing about this house, and everything inside was so unfamiliar to him. But now, after cleaning it himself, he felt a sense of home.

"Will we be living here from now on?" Zoroark nodded as if she understood, and looked around curiously. She remembered that she was the one who cleaned the television, but it looked a bit old and not as good as the one in Heath's dining car.

“Once we’ve finished dealing with things in Ziyuan Town, we should head to the next city. As for settling down in the future…” Heath scratched his head. To be honest, during the time he’d spent with Sister Feng, Heath had come to regard Officer Feng as his only family. Without her, things would feel a little awkward. But Heath didn’t really want to sell the house here.

After all, this house is the most direct evidence that the original inhabitant lived in this world.

However, leaving the house empty like this wasn't a good idea, so Heath decided to put it off for the time being. As for what to do with the house in the future, Heath planned to think about it more carefully later.

Heath took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was already 1 p.m. Heath decided to cook and eat lunch first, and then consider whether or not to go out to open for business.

“But this kitchen seems to be a bit of a problem…” Heath felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the kitchen in this house.

If you've ever cleaned a house that hasn't been lived in for years, you can understand Heath's feelings. After all, kitchens are such easy places to accumulate dirt and grime, and Heath's house was a complete house with a lawn, which resulted in a lot of cockroaches.

Having cockroaches wouldn't normally be a particularly serious problem, but after cleaning the house, Heath discovered that he had swept up several kilograms of cockroaches. Besides that, the biggest problem was in the kitchen.

Heath had no idea what the parents were thinking. There was still rice in their rice cooker, but after four years, the rice cooker was completely unusable.

The mold inside had completely disappeared, leaving only an extremely foul odor. Heath almost fainted when he opened the pot lid.

It must be said that although this rice cooker cannot prevent the growth of bacteria, it is at least very good at preserving flavor.

Then there was that bag of rice that was completely useless. When Heath went to inspect the bag of rice, it was full of black moths, along with some other insect carcasses. Heath was completely baffled.

The other places were a little better, but only slightly better than the kitchen. Heath had to throw away a lot of the furniture, as it was completely unusable.

After that, Heath plans to hire a home cleaning service to spray insecticide, and then buy some furniture to put in the room.

"Forget it, I just don't have the courage to cook in the kitchen... Let's go eat lunch in the dining car instead." Heath sighed; the house was just too filthy.

Fortunately, after such a long cleaning period, the house is somewhat habitable, but all the furniture and bedding need to be replaced, so it will take some time before we can move in completely.

Chapter 494 Ash's Father

Heath made a very ordinary lunch. He only planned to make a unique dish of braised pork with fried tofu over rice, and there was nothing else that needed to be made.

Heath had considered making some other side dishes, but he was too tired at noon, and a bowl of braised pork and tofu with oil would be enough to replenish his energy. So after thinking for a while, Heath decided not to make any other side dishes. After all, these side dishes were enough, and there was no need to consider making anything else in the short term.

Of course, the main reason was that Heath was lazy. Cleaning today gave Heath the feeling of doing a thorough cleaning before the Spring Festival in his previous life. After finishing, he was so tired that he just wanted to lie in bed and take a nap. Moreover, just thinking about those densely packed cockroaches made Heath feel uncomfortable all over.

Perhaps due to the humid and warm climate of the Pokémon world, the cockroaches that breed there are larger southern cockroaches, some as big as a lighter, and the largest one is almost the size of a palm.

Here's a ghost story: When living in the South, if you see a hair in a crack or inside an electrical outlet, it's best not to pull it out, because you don't know if you'll pull out a hair or a big cockroach.

If you see cockroaches in broad daylight, it means there are too many cockroaches in your home, forcing other cockroaches to give up the possibility of hiding and come out to survive.

"Phew, it's already past two o'clock without me realizing it?" After Heath finished eating and washed the dishes, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. Heath had originally planned to go straight to business today, but the broken furniture at home also needed to be replaced. So after thinking about it, Heath decided to give up the plan to open for business today and instead go to the furniture mall in Ziyuan Town to take a look and buy the furniture she needed.

"Trainer, Trainer, are you going out?" Zoroark looked at Hiss excitedly. She wanted to buy some new novels to read. Recently, Zoroark didn't know what novels to read, and felt that there weren't any particularly good ones.

"Hmm, are you going?" Heath had just finished changing his clothes and then looked at Zoroark strangely. He remembered that Zoroark shouldn't have much money left. Zoroark had used all the money he earned to buy novels, and Heath had also deducted a month's salary from Zoroark because of his mistake. Now that he thought about it, Zoroark probably didn't have any other money for the time being.

"Hmm! I want to buy a novel!" Zoroark said excitedly, then glanced at Farfetch'd. Heath immediately understood; it seemed Zoroark was going to borrow money from Farfetch'd. Farfetch'd did indeed have a lot of money, after all, it did a lot of things, which resulted in it accumulating considerable savings. Moreover, Farfetch'd wasn't particularly interested in buying things. It had discovered that the best kitchenware in the world was basically in Heath's kitchen, so Farfetch'd really was the richest of Heath's Pokémon.

Heath nodded indifferently. He didn't care how Zoroark borrowed the money, but if Zoroark planned to go, Heath wouldn't object. As long as they were Heath's Pokémon, Heath wouldn't stop them from doing what they wanted.

"Farfetch'd, Charmeleon, are you going?" Heath asked Farfetch'd and Charmeleon. There was no need to ask Snorlax; it wouldn't go anyway. That guy was always incredibly lazy, and Heath was used to it.

Farfetch'd and Charmeleon immediately shook their heads. They were both particularly tired today, especially Farfetch'd, who was responsible for dealing with all the cockroaches. Thinking of this, Farfetch'd couldn't help but glance at his green onion. This green onion had killed so many cockroaches; it was probably beyond repair.

Heath didn't mind; having the two little ones guard the house was a good option.

……
