I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Mr. Fujiyama, how does it taste?" Heath asked, looking at Mr. Fujiyama who had eaten three buns and finished all the soy milk.

"It tastes great, and it seems to be high in energy, which is perfect for my muscle-building goals. I'll definitely get this bun next time." Mr. Fujiyama nodded with great satisfaction, and Heath breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the guests liked it.

Watching Mr. Fujiyama leave with the barbell, Heath cracked his neck; a new day had begun.

Chapter 43 Xiaogang and Sakaki

"Heath, did you get a new car?" Heath was resting in the dining car when she heard Xiao Gang's voice. She looked up and saw Xiao Gang's squinty eyes.

“Yeah, I won the lottery before… but why are you here again?” Heath looked at Xiao Gang strangely. He remembered that Xiao Gang lived in Dark Grey City, so why did he keep coming here all day long as if he had nothing better to do?

“I’ve been in Changqing City for a while now. Speaking of which, did you see the explosion last night?” Xiao Gang asked Heath with a smile as he leaned against the counter of the food cart.

Heath's lips twitched. What kind of strange question was this? He not only noticed it, he was there at the time.

The chemical plant explosion yesterday was reported today. According to the investigation, the explosion was caused by a problem with the plant's equipment and improper operation by employees. This relieved Heath, who had thought it was sabotage.

"Of course I saw it. What would you like to eat?" Heath wiped his hands and stood up. He hadn't prepared any other food today, but he did have fried rice.

"Hmm... then give me some fried rice with egg, do you have any green onions for the green onion duck?" Xiao Gang nodded, but as he spoke, his face turned to the side. Heath glanced at him curiously and saw that it was Miss Joey who had gone over.

Heath was somewhat speechless. Xiao Gang really was a fan of beautiful women. He was still quite young, yet he was already showing this potential. But it didn't seem like a bad thing. Although Xiao Gang wasn't very reliable, he behaved quite well when facing women.

"Yes, wait here." Heath nodded, then turned around and began preparing the egg fried rice that Xiao Gang wanted to eat.

Fried rice is actually not difficult to make; it's quite simple and not complicated. Of course, some chefs will coat the rice with egg liquid, so that the fried rice made this way doesn't have chunks of egg visible, but the rice is golden brown.

Some restaurants change their name to "Golden Fried Rice" and can then sell it at a higher price.

However, Xiao Gang doesn't like this type of fried rice; he prefers the kind where the eggs and rice are separate, and Heath knows his taste.

"Speaking of which, didn't your dad send you to Changqing City to study? How's your study going?" Heath asked Xiaogang calmly as he tossed the wok around in the pan.

"Hey, stop talking. I'm only now realizing how troublesome it is to be a gym leader. You have to deal with a ton of things every day, and you also have to pay attention to training your Pokémon." Brock rested his chin on his hand, looking utterly dejected.

However, with those squinty eyes, Xiao Gang always seemed to have an expressionless look. Perhaps it was for this reason that Xiao Gang always made big mouth movements, so that others could discern his emotions.

Squinting must be tough.

However, Heath agreed with Brock's explanation. But as soon as he thought about it, Heath's expression became a little strange. He began to wonder if Brock's reason for going on the trip with Ash was also because he was fed up with the gym leader's life.

In that case, Brock might have more in common with Steven, since Steven also felt that the champion was hindering his search for the stone, so he gave the championship to his friend Wallace, right?

"Oh oh oh! Heavenly King! Dragon King!" Just as Heath was about to say something, he heard cheers coming from outside. Heath couldn't help but curiously peek out to take a look.

A fossil pterosaur streaked across the sky at high speed. Although the creature was very fast, it was still possible to tell that the man in the cape was one of the four elite members of the Indigo League, Lance.

"Du! My god, his fossil pterosaur looks amazing! It's been bred so well, it could probably take on dozens of me!" Xiao Gang said with a shocked and envious expression.

However, in Heath's view, the other person's shock was merely their mouth agape, and their squinty eyes...

Not to mention.

"Be bold, I could take on thousands of you without a problem." Heath chuckled as he handed the fried rice to Xiao Gang, teasing him.

Lance, one of the Indigo League Elite Four, is considered the strongest among the Elite Four and is hailed as the most likely candidate to become the Indigo League Champion. However, what is most remarkable about Lance is his Pokémon.

Although Lance always claimed to be the Dragon-type Elite Four member, people soon discovered that most of the Pokémon he used were Flying-type, and there was even a special program that joked about this.

Xiao Gang tried to widen his eyes as if he was very angry, but it didn't seem threatening enough. The big green duck didn't seem to notice anything and continued to practice diligently.

"Is Awakening King passing through our Changqing City?" Heath asked Xiao Gang curiously.

"Of course not. Awakening is here to investigate whether the chemical plant explosion is related to Team Rocket." Heath turned around in surprise at the familiar deep voice. It was Giovanni.

Today, Sakaki has regained his usual radiance. He is dressed in casual clothes, but his hair is still a bit curly, which is due to being too close to the fire.

"Mr. Sakaki! Hello! I am... I am..." Xiao Gang turned around excitedly, looking at Sakaki with admiration.

"Oh? Your face... you must be Mr. Wu Neng's son, right?" Sakaki looked at Xiao Gang's squinty eyes with great interest; he remembered seeing eyes like that before.

Xiao Gang was so excited he couldn't speak. He was so excited he didn't know where to put his hands, which made Heath both laugh and cry.

What kind of expression would Xiaogang have if he found out that his idol, Mr. Sakaki, was actually the leader of Team Rocket? It's quite interesting to think about.

However, Heath couldn't help but glance at Sakaki. Mr. Sakaki really didn't care. The Heavenly King had specially come to Evergreen City to investigate, but so far there were still no results.

"Yes!" Xiao Gang stood up straight instantly, just like a student being checked on his homework by the teacher.

"Mr. Sakaki, would you like something to eat?" Heath asked Sakaki. Farfetch'd turned around curiously, wanting to see if there was anything it could do to help.

Only Zoroya remained soundly asleep, lying on the table without making a sound.

"Me? Could you please give me one... Hmm, your mushroom bun and soy milk, I'll just have breakfast." Mr. Sakaki said with a smile, and passersby would greet him very respectfully from time to time, to which Mr. Sakaki would wave back with a smile.

Heath nodded, then put the three buns in a bag and handed it to Sakaki, while turning around to make soy milk.

Chapter 44 Xiao Gang, who was courting death

Each cup of soy milk is basically made to order. This allows customers to see the process of making the soy milk, and freshly made soy milk often has a richer and more mellow flavor. Of course, some white sugar is added to enhance the flavor.

While making soy milk, Heath listened to Giovanni and Gon chatting. However, Giovanni did most of the talking while Gon listened attentively. Gon also took the opportunity to ask about his experience as a gym owner, and Giovanni readily gave him his advice, which made Heath feel a little strange.

"Mr. Sakaki, you have to admit that Team Rocket is really despicable. The peaceful Viridian City was attacked by Team Rocket this time!" Hearing Xiaogang's indignant words, Heath almost spilled his soy milk on the ground.

This is truly like pointing your finger at God in the temple and cursing Him! Heath silently gave Xiao Gang a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that Xiao Gang was really a warrior.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Sakaki asked Xiaogang with interest, his voice revealing no displeasure.

"Look, Team Rocket is a bunch of wicked guys who do all sorts of bad things every day, stealing other Pokémon and causing chaos everywhere. The leader of Team Rocket must be a villain with sores on his head and pus oozing from his feet!" Brock continued his rant! He kept ranting! And this time he was even more reckless!

Heath put the soy milk into a cup, added some white sugar, turned around and placed it on the table along with the steamed buns.

He figured Xiao Gang had probably already been blacklisted by Sakaki, and he was just waiting for the day he could kill Xiao Gang.

But to Hiss's surprise, Giovanni didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily, patted Brock on the shoulder, and denounced the Rockets' leader as definitely a bad guy.

This discovery surprised Heath somewhat; he hadn't expected Mr. Giovanni to have such a good attitude. But thinking about it carefully, based on the Giovanni Heath knew so far, he was indeed a very charming person, and not the kind of person who held grudges.

"Mr. Sakaki, your steamed buns and soy milk are ready." Heath handed the steamed buns and soy milk to Sakaki. Looking at the still cheerful Sakaki, who was completely unaware that he had just been dancing on his grave, Heath suddenly felt that being a little silly was not so bad.

"Thanks, Hiss. By the way, could you get me some more steamed buns and soy milk? I'd like to take them back for my trainers at the gym to enjoy together." Giovanni took a bite of a steamed bun, then showed an expression of enjoyment before asking the question.

Heath nodded. It wasn't a problem. However, with Sakaki's purchase, all the steamed buns Heath had prepared for her trial business that day were sold out. She still had some soy milk in stock, since soybeans are quite durable.

Even if the soybeans sprout, it's okay; once they sprout, they can be used to make bean sprouts.

"Mr. Sakaki is such a kind person," Xiao Gang remarked as he ate his fried rice with a spoon.

Heath gave Xiaogang a strange look. He was becoming more and more curious about what Xiaogang's expression would be when he found out Sakaki's true identity. But thinking about it carefully, Xiaogang's reaction wasn't surprising.

After all, if Heath hadn't been a time traveler who had watched anime and played games, he wouldn't have imagined that this kind and gentle guy, Giovanni, was actually the leader of Team Rocket behind the scenes.

To put it bluntly, this is all caused by the God's perspective.

"Why don't you learn from Mr. Giovanni and become a gym leader like him in the future?" Heath thought of Brock's strength. Brock's strength always seemed a bit weak. Rock-type has too many weaknesses and is easily countered.

No wonder that after Brock succeeded as the Gym Leader, his Rock-type Gym was listed by the League as a beginner-friendly gym.

The gyms in the Pokémon world are very interesting. Although there is no fixed order for challenging them, the League has also divided the gyms into different levels of difficulty and will recommend that trainers challenge gyms that are suitable for them.

When Heath read the Quartz Daily before, he noticed that the Cerulean City Gym was listed as the most suitable gym for beginners that year. Now that he thinks about it, it must have been around the time when Misty became the Gym Leader.

"Well... actually, Heath, although I haven't become a Gym Leader yet, I already find being a Gym Leader quite boring. If it weren't for my dad's high regard for me and the fact that he gave me a Pokémon, I wouldn't want to be one." Brock's expression was somewhat conflicted. He sighed and said with a frustrated look.

Heath wasn't surprised, after all, this guy had followed Ash and traveled for many years.

When Heath thought of Ash, his expression became even stranger. Ash was truly an amazing person, a ten-year-old trainer with twenty years of experience. It was incredible.

When Heath first arrived in the Pokémon world, he wondered if a year in the Pokémon world was as long as twenty years on Earth, but thankfully he later found out that wasn't the case.

"Well, everyone has things they like to do and things they don't like to do. Take me for example, I really enjoy cooking." Heath took the soy milk maker down; he needed to clean it.

"Although being a chef may not be a good job in other people's eyes, I really like this job. Being able to do what I love is a very happy thing." Heath did not intend to persuade Xiao Gang. He knew very well that the decision was always made by the person involved, not bystanders like himself.

Seeing Brock's conflicted expression, Hiss decided to change the subject, since Brock would eventually give up his position as the Gym Leader of Pine City after Ash came to challenge him.

"By the way, Brock, what Pokémon did your dad give you? Does it obey your commands?" Hiss asked curiously.

"Hehe, you definitely wouldn't know this if I told you," Xiao Gang said confidently, with a mysterious and lewd smile on his face.

Heath glanced at him. Was this guy challenging his dignity as a Pokémon player of over a decade? Heath felt he knew far more than Brock.

"What else could it be, a fossil Pokémon?" Hiss thought about the rock Pokémon from the first generation. There were only a few of them, weren't there?

"No, no, no, how could it be a fossil Pokémon? My dad went to great lengths to get this for me!" Brock shook his head, then took out his Poké Ball. The next second, a small figure stood next to Brock.

Hiss stared blankly at the Pokémon, its eyes filled with intimidation and its short stature. Wasn't that Larvitar?

Hiss felt he didn't quite understand why Brock had a Larvitar. It wasn't a Pokémon from the Kanto region.

"Haha, you don't recognize it, do you? Let me introduce it to you. This is a very powerful Pokémon, Larvitar!" Brock said proudly.

Chapter 45 Young Kiras

Hiss stared blankly at Larvitar in front of him. Some people might not be familiar with the name Larvitar, but if you call it Tyranitar, some people might know it. It is a Pokémon that is ranked as a pseudo-legendary.

The incredibly powerful Tyranitar has always been a popular Pokémon, attracting a large following for both battling and collecting, because it is very strong and easy to use.

With a base stat total of 600, it's basically at the upper limit for a normal Pokémon. Mega-evolved Tyranitar even has a base stat total of 700, which is incredibly strong. So what's even more puzzling to Hersh is why Brock has such a Pokémon.

"It looks amazing." Hiss exclaimed as he looked at Larvitar in amazement. He had heard that Larvitar needed to eat an entire mountain in order to evolve. Simply put, Larvitar is a Pokémon that eats a lot, and it eats rather unique things.

"Of course, it's just that I eat too much, I'm going to be eaten out of house and home." Xiao Gang sighed with a worried look on his face. Hiss asked him curiously and then learned about some of the special features of Young Gilas.

First of all, Larvitar is indeed a very voracious Pokémon, eating things like soil and rocks. Its evolution requires a huge accumulation of energy to complete, eventually becoming Sandgill, waiting for the day it will transform into Tyranitar.

However, Larvitar eats a lot and poops a lot, so there's no need to worry about Larvitar eating the Pokémon region bare. Nature has its own solutions; the soil that Larvitar poops up can also form another small hill.

Yes, Pokémon are living beings after all; they eat, drink, and poop, so don't ask how Sheath knows.

When Hiss first transmigrated, he never thought about whether Pokémon needed to use the toilet. Until the day Hiss made an ice pop, and Arcanine got really into it. The next day, Hiss almost did a Butterfly in the dorm.

Heath was almost disgusted to the point of vomiting, and after finally cleaning up, she was beaten up by Sister Feng, making Heath wonder if she was going to report to the underworld.

So after that day, Heath learned a lesson: the bigger a dog is, the bigger its bladder is. He also learned the tragic fact that Arcanine can't eat anything cold, or it will get diarrhea.

"What's so good about being poor? Doesn't Young Gilas eat dirt?" Heath took out a bun and waved it in front of Young Gilas, who looked at Heath with the kind of look of pity one might give someone mentally challenged.

Heath reluctantly stuffed the bun into his mouth. It seemed that the little thing was quite picky about food, refusing to eat anything except dirt.

"Don't say anymore. My dad already said that I can forget about getting a single penny from him in the future, and even if I become a gym leader, I won't get a salary for ten years. This is the price he paid for buying me a mountain to help Larvitar grow." Brock sighed, but under his squinty eyes, the sigh had a somewhat comical feel to it.
