I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

However, considering that she had just finished eating, Hiss still sat down in the chair with her chin in her hand, watching Zoroark play games. Charizard was still training, even though it had now reached its strongest form. Hiss was a little amazed by its diligence and perseverance. However, training was something that, once it became a habit, did become quite common, and she even felt uncomfortable if she didn't train a little every day.

Hiss stroked his chin. Speaking of which, Charizard seems to be able to crystallize now. However, Hiss hasn't researched what crystallized Pokémon would look like yet, but their combat power would definitely increase, just like undergoing Mega Evolution.

Farfetch'd was also taken to play games by Zoroark, and Heath didn't stop him. Anyway, the day's business was over, and it was good to relax by playing games. After all, playing games was a very cheap form of entertainment in Heath's opinion.

A single 5-pin phone costs around 3,000 yuan. With a membership, you can play a huge number of games. One game is enough to keep you entertained for a long time, and you can still play for a long time even if you buy more games. Compared to going to bars and KTVs, the cost of playing games is really low. It also gives friends who come over more options. Otherwise, it would be really awkward for a group of people to sit at home chatting or playing on their phones.

Snorlax, on the other hand, is sleeping. This big guy loves to sleep. Even though he just finished eating, that's how Snorlax is. Pokémon professors have also studied this, and it's found that sleeping after eating has absolutely no effect on Snorlax's health.

It has to be said that Pokémon's physical structure is truly unique. Many things that are absolutely impossible for humans are no problem for these Pokémon at all.

"Ralts, what are you looking at?" Hiss asked Ralts curiously. Ralts pointed to the window, and Hiss looked up.

Sometime later, the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing a clear night sky and the moon hanging high in the heavens. However, what concerned Heath was that the moon seemed to be slowly becoming crescent-shaped, like a mooncake that had been bitten into...

"No, this is a lunar eclipse!" Heath realized instantly. After all, solar and lunar eclipses are very common astronomical phenomena, but there are different situations. Heath quickly opened his phone and saw the push notification. According to the news, today is a total lunar eclipse that only happens once every few decades. If you miss this one, you will have to wait for more than eighty years to see it again. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Heath quickly opened the Seal Ball communicator, intending to send a message to Cynthia, but Cynthia's message arrived even faster.

[The Rabbit That Eats the Moon: Watching a Lunar Eclipse?]

Looking at Cynthia's new avatar and name, Heath couldn't help but chuckle. The lunar eclipse in this world had its own legend. According to this world, the lunar eclipse was caused by a rabbit eating the moon. Later, some people even found that the legends varied from place to place. In the Sinnoh region, it was said that a rabbit ate the moon, and it was Gastrodon that ate it.

This is quite similar to the celestial dog eating the moon in my previous life.

[Heath's Chef: Okay!]

After replying, Hiss took Ralts outside. He asked his other Pokémon, but they weren't interested in watching the lunar eclipse, so Hiss could only take Ralts with him. Hiss wasn't worried that Cynthia would notice anything amiss with Ralts, since Ralts wouldn't change as long as it didn't recall its tragic past.

And for some reason, Ralts has been acting normally lately, as if she has forgotten those sad memories.

This is a good thing, after all, if Ralts is immersed in her sad past, it would be quite a bad thing, and it wouldn't be good for Ralts' health. However, Hiss has not forgotten what he promised Ralts, to help her fulfill her wish. It's just that Ralts might have to ascend to heaven by then, which makes Hiss a little reluctant.

"Where are you going?" Just as Heath was about to push open the door, Dream suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Heath was stunned for a moment.

After eating, Mew disappeared for almost a day, and no one knew where it went. Heath didn't pay much attention to it, since Mew often travels around and is a Mythical Pokémon with a very low sighting rate. Moreover, the places where it is seen are not the same, which greatly disappointed people who wanted to find Mew in a fixed location.

"Are you going to see the total lunar eclipse?" Heath asked Mew, thinking that Mew probably wouldn't be interested in it.

"I'm not watching, it's boring. I'm going to play games." Mew wagged its tail and flew away. Heath rubbed his nose. This was within his expectations. After all, Mew was a Pokémon that had lived for a very long time. What was a once-in-a-lifetime lunar eclipse for ordinary people was just an ordinary event for Mew.

But this is good, because if Heath took Mew out, he really wouldn't know how to handle it. After all, if he just took it out, Heath felt that he would become an instant sensation. Fortunately, this is Sinnoh. If it were Kanto, the place where Mew became the most popular Pokémon, Heath would probably be getting death threats tonight.

"Let's go, Ralts, let's go see the lunar eclipse." Hiss smiled and patted Ralts' head.

Chapter 593 Cynthia: Why did you embark on this journey?

When Heath pushed open the door of the food cart and walked out, there were already many pedestrians on the street, which made Heath smile. It seemed that everyone had come to see the total lunar eclipse. After all, a total lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that seems very impressive. Of course, the main reason was that this total lunar eclipse only comes once every few decades. If you miss it this time, you may really miss it for the rest of your life.

People are always like this: they don't cherish ordinary things, but they cherish things more when they are limited to a limited time. Of course, this trick only applies to some special cases. If various limited-time or limited-time offers are frequently introduced, people will eventually get tired of them, and the limited-time or limited-time offer will no longer be limited. However, these situations do not have much impact on total lunar eclipses.

A total lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that cannot be controlled by humans, and it is precisely for this reason that this particular total lunar eclipse attracted many people to participate.

"Heath!" Heath heard Cynthia's voice. Heath turned his head and saw Cynthia standing next to a vending machine, holding two cans of drinks. Heath paused for a moment, then picked up Ralts and walked over, smiling and greeting Cynthia.

"Good evening, Cynthia." Hiss waved enthusiastically to Cynthia and Ralts in his arms, and Cynthia's eyes were immediately drawn to Ralts in Hiss's arms. She curiously came closer and looked at Ralts in Hiss's arms, while Ralts looked at Cynthia in front of her and timidly shrank into Hiss's arms.

Hiss chuckled and ruffled Ralts's hair. Ralts was a bit too timid, but thankfully she wasn't triggered and reminded of that sad memory. If she had, it would have been very troublesome. Fortunately, Ralts was normal now, which relieved Hiss.

"Wow, is that Ralts?" Cynthia looked at the Ralts in front of her with delight, curiously examining the shiny Ralts.

"Hmm, but this child is rather shy." Hiss stroked Ralts' head; it was soft and cool, without any warmth. Looking at Ralts in his arms, Hiss couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What an adorable child, and so intelligent too. Hiss felt that Ralts had inherited all the advantages of a Psychic Pokémon. If this child were still alive, then perhaps a super powerful Gardevoir would emerge in the future?

“…dead…” Ralts seemed to sense Hiss’s feelings. She raised her hand and gently stroked Hiss’s arm. Hiss hugged Ralts in her arms and couldn’t help but smile. This little guy was quick to learn words, and it seemed that he now knew that his name was Hiss. This made Hiss very happy, but the happier he was, the sadder he felt.

Hiss knew that Ralts would leave sooner or later. After all, Ralts was a ghost Pokémon; she shouldn't exist in this world, but in another, where she could be reincarnated. However, Hiss had grown quite fond of the little creature after spending these past few days with her, and she hoped that when it came time to say goodbye...

Heath shook his head; these questions were far too early.

"So cute~ Hey, Hiss, shall we go watch the lunar eclipse?" Cynthia looked at Ralts with a smile. Of course, she could tell that Hiss and Ralts had a very good relationship, which made Cynthia's gaze towards Hiss even softer. Ralts is a very sensitive Pokémon, and the fact that she is so attached to Hiss shows that Hiss is indeed a very gentle and kind person.

"You can see it from here too... but there are definitely a lot of people here." Heath shivered. He had to admit that although there was a total lunar eclipse tonight, the weather in Baidai City was just too cold. It dropped below zero at night. Fortunately, it was a clear day, so there were no clouds. But in a sense, not being able to see the clouds meant that it would be even colder at night and in the morning.

“I know a great place!” Cynthia grabbed Heath’s hand. Heath was stunned for a moment, then was led away by Cynthia. Heath was a little lost in thought for a moment. He stared blankly at Cynthia, who was laughing happily ahead of him. At that moment, the surrounding lights seemed to become hazy. Heath looked at Cynthia in a daze.

When Cynthia stopped and let go of his hand, Heath found himself being dragged to an open space. Heath didn't know where the open space was, but there were very few people there, which surprised him. Could it be that they had run away from Baidai City?

"Where is this?" Hiss breathed a sigh of relief as he held Ralts in his arms. He could only hold Ralts with one hand, but fortunately Ralts' body was very soft and light, otherwise Hiss didn't know if he could have held her.

"This used to be a rumored haunted place in Hundred City, but the League... seems to have taken care of it, so there aren't many people here for the time being. However, the League plans to turn this place into a Pokémon Center." Cynthia said with a smile. She paused when she mentioned the League, then switched her tone back to normal. Hiss looked at her and wanted to laugh. Of course, he knew what Cynthia was actually going to say.

Heath thought back to when they were on their date, Cynthia received a phone call and left in a hurry. Could it be that she came to deal with the ghost incident here?

"Hoo..." Heath lay down on the lawn. Although it was a little cold, it was very quiet here, a stark contrast to the bustling commercial street that had just been there.

Heath looked up at the moon overhead; it was already half-eaten, and the total lunar eclipse had begun.

Heath and Cynthia lay on the lawn, head to head, watching the total lunar eclipse overhead. They watched the moon slowly darken, eventually even appearing to turn a faint red. This surprised Heath; no wonder it was said to be a rare total lunar eclipse, a sight that seemed astounding as it appeared in decades.

"...Heath, what was your reason for embarking on this journey?" Cynthia suddenly asked.

Heath paused for a moment, then looked up. Cynthia was still looking at the moon. Heath couldn't see her expression, but he felt that Cynthia looked just as beautiful as ever.

"When I embarked on this journey..." Heath scratched his head. He couldn't very well say it was to complete the cheat-like task and then get some rewards, could he?

Chapter 594 The meaning of travel is encounters

Hiss initially embarked on his journey partly to see the local customs and culture, and partly due to the influence of his cheat ability. However, looking at Ralts beside him, Hiss felt that he had found a reason, a reason that made him embark on the journey.

"At first... it was to experience the local customs and culture, and study some recipes. Now, I'm always looking forward to meeting different people, Pokémon, and having different encounters in different cities." Hiss smiled. If he stayed in Viridian City, he could live a stable life, but he wouldn't be able to meet Pokémon like Ralts and Snorlax, and he wouldn't be able to meet Cynthia either.

"An encounter?" Cynthia's eyes lit up, and she sat up abruptly. Since becoming the champion, she had found that she seemed to have no ambition left. After all, in Sinnoh, Cynthia had become the strongest trainer in the region, without exception. Moreover, in terms of power and status, Cynthia had now reached a level that many people might struggle their whole lives to achieve.

"Heath, running a food truck must be really interesting, right?" Cynthia asked expectantly. Heath touched his nose and nodded. He had to admit that running a food truck was indeed a very interesting thing. Along the way, Heath had encountered all kinds of customers. Some customers were difficult to deal with, some had sad stories, and some even tricked him.

"It's really interesting, because you'll meet all sorts of guests along the way, and sometimes you'll even run into quite a few Pokémon. After all, every city has stray Pokémon." Heath thought of a scene he had inadvertently witnessed while shopping for groceries today, and couldn't help but smile.

"Can you tell me about it?" Cynthia turned around and lay down on the grass, looking at Heath expectantly. Heath was stunned for a moment. The total lunar eclipse overhead was just about to be completely consumed, but looking at Cynthia's seemingly glowing eyes, Heath turned around and lay down on the grass.

“Actually, it’s quite simple…” Heath smiled, and then told Cynthia about what happened when he went to the market that morning.

……

"Boss, I want this..." Heath, who was picking out vegetables, paused for a moment, then looked to his right in surprise. There was a fish stall there, but what attracted Heath was not the fish, but the furtive Pogaman who was sneaking over there!

Piplup is one of the recommended starter Pokémon, with decent strength and a cute appearance. However, looking at the stains on this Piplup, Hiss subconsciously thought of the special group of stray Pokémon.

And the other party's actions proved this point, because the Piplup was sneaking up to grab a small fish. However, to Heath's surprise, the fishmonger clearly saw this, but pretended not to see it. Even after the Piplup ran away in a panic, he reached out and gathered the other fish that the Piplup almost dragged down to the side.

"Sir, that Piplup is an abandoned Pokémon, but we all like it quite a bit. Could you please not report it to Officer Jenny?" The vegetable stall owner had also seen this scene. He looked at Heath with some concern and asked. Heath couldn't help but glance at the owner in front of him. He had previously thought that the Piplup was special, which was why the fishmonger treated it so well. But it seemed that all the owners in the market liked it.

……

"...I asked around out of curiosity and found out that the Piplup was actually a Pokémon that had been abandoned because of an illness. It was cured by volunteers, but it still became a stray Pokémon. However, it lived near the market and would clean up the market every day after the market closed, so everyone liked it. But because it was abandoned, it was still somewhat hostile towards humans." Heath finished telling the story of what she had encountered that morning, and Cynthia listened attentively.

"Ah...that's wonderful. I wish I could live such an interesting life too." Cynthia said with a sorrowful expression, resting her chin on her hand. Heath's lips twitched. It seemed that being a champion wasn't so easy after all. After all, becoming a champion meant taking on the heavy burden of being a champion, which sounded like a very painful thing.

In that sense, Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region, is also a bit of a slacker. After becoming champion, he often travels the world searching for stones. He even later gave up his champion title to his friend Wallace. The champion title, which others treasure, is a burden that prevents Steven from focusing on finding stones. It's really both funny and sad.

"Cynthia, is your work very demanding?" Hiss gently picked up Ralts, then sat cross-legged on the ground, letting Ralts sleep in his arms. The little guy had already fallen asleep, which made Hiss a little helpless. Was it because his storytelling voice was too gentle, or was Ralts too sleepy? How could she fall asleep so early?

"It's alright, it's just that I feel like there's always so much to do every day, and I can't delegate it to other colleagues." Cynthia sighed helplessly. The thought of having so many documents to approve and review every day made her feel a bit miserable. This was completely different from the life she had envisioned!

"Cynthia is a very responsible person." Hiss smiled. Even after Ash embarked on his journey, Cynthia remained a champion and seemed to have matured a lot. She was also much more responsible than Steven.

"I'd like to slack off..." Cynthia pouted in frustration. Heath looked at Cynthia's face, reached out and gently pinched her cheek, then pulled it slightly to the side, instantly revealing a smile.

"You definitely look better when you smile. A dejected, downcast look just doesn't suit you." Heath released his hand somewhat awkwardly, wondering if this would make Cynthia think he was being too rude.

But the next second, Cynthia burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that she even rolled around on the grass clutching her stomach. Heath couldn't help but scratch his head, wondering if it was really that funny.

But seeing Cynthia's expression really makes me happy; human sense of humor is truly bizarre.

Chapter 595 An Old Guest Who Hasn't Been Seen in a Long Time

After watching the total lunar eclipse, Heath prepared to go back. Cynthia followed beside Heath, humming an unknown tune. Heath hadn't heard the song before, but the melody was quite pleasant. There were many songs in the Pokémon world, and the singers were all sorts of people. Some singers were human, and some were Pokémon. Currently, the most popular Pokémon singer was a Altaria named "Avril," and her albums and other releases were very popular.

However, Altaria is a Pokémon after all, so it naturally cannot sing in human language. But its melodious voice, clear tone and excellent singing skills made it famous overnight. However, it is still far inferior to top human singers, but this is not surprising.

"Heath, how long do you plan to stay in Eternal City?" Cynthia asked curiously, looking at Heath. Heath stroked his chin and said seven days. After all, he only planned to stay in Eternal City for seven days before returning to Lavender Town to see if there was any progress on Ralts's matter. The Anywhere Door was very useful after it was repaired, and it could be used once every seven days. If it weren't for dealing with Ralts's matter, Heath would have liked to go directly to the next city.

"Seven days? That's not long, we'll be going back soon." Cynthia seemed thoughtful. Hiss secretly glanced at Cynthia's profile, wondering what she was thinking.

But in the end, Cynthia didn't say anything. After dropping Heath off near the food truck, she left happily. However, before leaving, Cynthia mysteriously told Heath to wait a little longer, saying she had a surprise for him, which left Heath completely bewildered.

"What surprise?" Hiss pondered this question as she returned to her dining car. As soon as she entered the lounge, she saw Zoroark and Mew playing a retro game that looked like it had one day and two nights of rest. Hiss didn't disturb them, but simply carried Ralts back to the bedroom and gently placed her in her little hammock, covering her with a blanket.

Although Ralts is a ghost Pokémon and has no body temperature, Hiss still instinctively covered it with a blanket. Then Hiss washed up and climbed into bed to go to sleep.

……

"Hmm? What's that?" Darkrai was flying high in the sky when it discovered a strange dream, which piqued its interest. Darkrai quickly flew down and soon found the owner of the dream.

That was a Ralts. Darkrai certainly knew this Pokémon. If it were her final evolution, Gardevoir, Darkrai might have considered it, but it was just a small Ralts, so there was nothing to fear. What attracted Darkrai the most was the dream above Ralts' head. It looked very strange. Darkrai had seen many nightmares, beautiful dreams, and many strange and ordinary dreams, but it had never seen a dream as unique as Ralts'.

“Not a living creature… a ghost? Giratina?” Darkrai hesitated. Any dead Pokémon belonged to Giratina. If it did something to this little guy, would Giratina get angry?

However, looking at this completely unfamiliar nightmare that exuded an unusual aura, Darkrai was still a little tempted. It wanted to see what this dream was all about, so Darkrai stretched out its wicked hands.

But before Darkrai could even touch Ralts's dream, it sensed a strange aura. Darkrai instinctively turned its head and saw a cloud of black smoke before disappearing from the room.

……

"Yawn... I'm slowly adjusting..." Heath yawned and got out of bed. The weather was still quite cold today, and with the jet lag, Heath woke up at a different time than usual.

[You entertained Darkrai, and you received 1 Root card and 2 Seed cards.]

Heath was stunned. What was going on? He remembered that he hadn't had any nightmares last night. After all, Heath rarely had nightmares. But when he got up today, he saw a similar prompt again, which confused Heath. Moreover, the reward this time was also those strange cards, except that this time there was an extra card called a seed.

Heath took out the cards and glanced at them. They were still the same, strange and without any other clues. It was as if these cards were useless. At first, Heath was very curious about what was going on, but now he was no longer curious. He didn't care anymore. He would just wait until he had collected enough and the cheat code gave him some hints before taking a look.

"Farfetch'd, you'll be with me today. I'll teach you how to run a conveyor belt hot pot restaurant. Starting tomorrow, you'll try running it yourself for a day." Heath looked at Farfetch'd, who had just woken up, and spoke to it earnestly. On one hand, he wanted to help Farfetch'd take the great step of becoming a Pokémon chef, and on the other hand, he wanted to train Farfetch'd to be independent. If Farfetch'd could be independent, then Heath could try to launch some other things.

"Scallion?" Farfetch'd looked at Hiss blankly. He had just woken up and heard such explosive news, so explosive that Farfetch'd wondered if he was still half asleep. But when he saw Hiss turn around and grab Zoroark, Farfetch'd suddenly snapped to attention and became much more awake. Could it be that the trainer was serious? Was he really planning to make him the head chef at the restaurant for a whole day tomorrow?

This caught the scallion duck somewhat off guard, as it had never experienced anything like this before. Although it had served as the restaurant's head chef for a short time yesterday, but...

"Don't worry, Farfetch'd, I have faith in you. Besides, being the head chef at a revolving restaurant isn't actually that hard. You did a great job yesterday, didn't you?" Heath chuckled and patted Farfetch'd's head. In fact, only a few hours had passed between last night and Farfetch'd hosting guests all day on his own.

Seeing Farfetch'd's nervous look, Heath smiled helplessly. Oh well, he'd bring Farfetch'd along today and let him see how he entertained guests. Tomorrow, he'd put him to the task. Besides, Heath had a lot of confidence in Farfetch'd.
