I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Professor Sakuragi?" Heath looked at the business card in his hand and raised an eyebrow. Goodness, he was actually a Pokémon professor, and it even seemed that he had his own research institute. However, the name Sakuragi sounded familiar to Heath. He felt like he had heard the name before, but he couldn't remember for sure. He just had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Before long, Dr. Sakuragi came up with a woman and two children. Heath glanced at them and realized they were a family of four. However, as a doctor with his own research institute, supporting a family of four shouldn't be a problem for him.

"Since I haven't officially opened for business yet, I won't say any more pleasantries. Dr. Sakuragi, what would you like to eat?" Heath glanced at the people in front of him, and there was that strange sense of déjà vu again. Heath just couldn't figure out where this sense of déjà vu came from, but it did give Heath a feeling that 'I seem to have seen them somewhere before,' which was very strange.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Heath. I'd like an omelet rice." Dr. Sakuragi smiled politely, and Heath nodded and wrote it down.

"I want a cream puff! And... and an omelet rice!" The girl immediately raised her hand.

"Hello, I'd like to eat... something crispy..." the little boy said with an embarrassed smile.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Heath, I'd like a plate of fried rice, and soup would be even better if you could provide some." The woman smiled gently.

Chapter 646 Bibimbap

This family really loves omelet rice, but it seems only two of them like it...

Heath nodded and went back to the kitchen to prepare the food for the guests. As usual, Heath first glanced at the food preferences and dislikes listed above the guests' heads, but everything seemed normal and he didn't see anything wrong. However, when he looked at the boy, he noticed the boy's food preferences and had some new ideas about what the boy wanted to eat.

Omelette rice is simple to make and not difficult at all. The only difficulty lies in the eggs. How to cook the eggs so that the outside is cooked while the inside remains liquid requires some control of the heat. Also, how to make the eggs into a whole piece requires a bit of skill from the chef. However, for Heath, these problems are not problems. Heath only needs to toss the pan to easily flip the eggs over and cook them all.

If you're not very good at making omelet rice, then flipping the egg can be a real headache for beginners. Actually, there's only one key to flipping an egg: be quick and steady. If you can do those two things, that's enough. Of course, if that still doesn't work, you'll have to use a spatula to slowly fold the egg around the edges and cook it little by little. However, the downside of this is that it can easily turn the omelet rice into fried rice.

Heath was quite adept at making omelet rice, so the first dish served to Dr. Sakuragi and his daughter was the omelet rice. Then Heath went back to make the fried rice that the woman wanted. Heath had read the woman's request and found that her taste in food seemed quite suitable for making Yangzhou fried rice, so Heath decided to provide the woman with the food she wanted in the way Yangzhou fried rice would be served.

Yangzhou fried rice, though it is fried rice, looks nothing like fried rice because of the many ingredients used. Heath thinks this is probably the prototype of some street fried rice in his previous life. The characteristic of those street fried rice is that before frying the rice, customers can choose the side dishes they want to add to the rice from the condiment area, and then give them to the chef to start frying, giving people the feeling that the ingredients are very rich. Heath had eaten it once or twice, both times when he was in college.

Although this fried rice is made with very rich and substantial ingredients, the taste is not actually that satisfying. It can only be said that although it has a lot of ingredients, it is still inferior to Yangzhou fried rice, which has been tested by countless chefs and diners. Heath felt that this fried rice was flashy but not substantial, and the taste was not that good. However, the fact that the ingredients can be selected by the user does give people a sense of participation.

However, compared to Yangzhou fried rice, which is colorful, fragrant, delicious, and made with high-quality ingredients, the latter always falls short.

A plate of Yangzhou fried rice is quite easy to make if you have all the ingredients. Heath quickly made a plate of Yangzhou fried rice and served it to the gentle lady. Then she started making cream puffs and the things the little boy wanted to eat.

As a timeless dessert, cream puffs are inherently quite delicious, with a sweet, creamy flavor. Because many things can be added to cream puffs, some rather unusual cream puffs have been created, such as durian cream puffs and yogurt cream puffs. However, the most classic way to eat cream puffs is with cream, which is also the most essential way to enjoy them. This little girl didn't have any particularly strange hobbies, so what she wanted to eat was the most standard cream puff. Heath quickly shaped the cream puffs and put them in the oven.

“Now it’s time to make what this little boy wants to eat…” Heath rubbed his hands together. To be honest, when he first heard what the boy wanted to eat, Heath thought he wanted potato chips or something like that. But after reading the food request, Heath realized that the boy actually wanted rice.

Goodness, fragrant and crispy rice, this is actually quite difficult to make. However, Heath has already figured out exactly what to make. After all, considering the boy's requirements and hobbies, Heath thinks that making a special stone pot bibimbap should be good.

Stone pot bibimbap is also found in Northeast China. Although some people believe it originated from a superpower that experienced a Big Bang, this special type of stone pot bibimbap does exist in Northeast China. Due to its unique cooking method, the rice in stone pot bibimbap is often quite crispy, almost like burnt rice. It is also nutritious and has a good taste, making it a very high-quality choice.

The only problem was that Heath didn't have a stone pot. But that wasn't surprising, since Heath wasn't a professional stone pot bibimbap maker. So it was perfectly reasonable that he didn't have one. However, there were still some solutions if you wanted to make bibimbap but didn't have a stone pot. Heath quietly took out the small pot he had bought before when making the conveyor belt hot pot. This small iron pot wasn't very big, and it was just right for making bibimbap. The only problem was that he needed to pay attention to the heat, since stone pots and iron pots are different and have different requirements for heat.

Fortunately, Heath was very skilled at controlling the heat, so he quickly prepared a bowl of bibimbap and served it to the little boy. The cream puffs that the little girl wanted were also baked, and Heath took them over and placed them in front of the girl. Then Heath went back without paying any attention to the guests.

[You entertained Professor Sakuragi, and you received Root Card *1]

[You entertained Koharu and Sota, and you have obtained 1 Leaf Vein Card]

[You entertained Yoshino, and you received 1 Leaf Vein Card]

Heath was stunned. Good heavens, three cards? This is not the treatment of an ordinary passerby. It seems that Dr. Sakuragi and his family are indeed very important. Otherwise, they would not have given him such a reward. You know, card rewards are very difficult to obtain. Heath got three cards for entertaining Dr. Sakuragi and his family. That's pretty good.

"I feel... a sense of familiarity, but where exactly have I seen these names and people?" Heath was a little confused; he felt that Professor Sakuragi sounded familiar.

Chapter 647 Hyperthymesia

Heath still couldn't remember. After all, he only remembered some key parts of his past life, which made him feel a little regretful. He had heard of a disease called hyperthymesia. Although it was a disease, people with it had very strong memory abilities. They could even remember clearly whether they wet their pants when they were five years old. Although it sounded a bit strange.

However, many people think that hyperthymesia is a very serious disease, and some even want to have it themselves. But Heath remembers that hyperthymesia is quite painful. It can only be said that anything with the word "disease" in its name is usually not a good thing. This is also true for patients with hyperthymesia or hyperthymesia. Although they have a very strong memory ability, they suffer from great psychological pressure every day because their memory is autonomous. They cannot choose not to remember what they do not want to remember. Even tastes and feelings will be remembered.

This often leads to great pain and psychological stress for them.

Memory is a wonderful thing. Many people think they have a good memory and don't need to worry about forgetting things. But actually, the simplest way is to recall things from about ten years ago. You will only remember things that left a deep impression or were very important, such as being awarded the title of "Three Good Student" or receiving pocket money from your parents. This is because the human brain has a limited memory capacity, so some complicated and unnecessary information will be eliminated, leaving only the key information, such as passwords.

However, even passwords are not something that can be remembered every day and every minute. In fact, many people have set their own passwords, but after a while they forget them, which can be very troublesome. Therefore, many people set passwords using things that are easy to remember, such as their birthday, which makes it easier for them to remember.

Heath felt that the name Dr. Sakuragi sounded familiar, but after thinking about it, he could only think of the anime character Sakuragi Hanamichi. However, it was obvious that this world was not Sakuragi Hanamichi's world, and Sakuragi Hanamichi could not be studying or playing basketball in this place.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. I'll probably remember when I meet someone or see something later." Heath shook his head, not dwelling on the problem any further. Instead, he tidied up the tables, chairs, and dishes, then restarted the food truck and headed towards his destination, the City of Fallen Leaves.

The journey from Lavender Town to Vermilion City is a long one, but thankfully it only takes a little over a day by car. Heath can only hope there won't be any traffic jams. However, considering that this is the time when Pokémon migrate, Heath thinks there might be one or two traffic jams along the way. After all, many Pokémon have the habit of migrating, heading to warmer places to overwinter when the weather gets cold.

This time the journey was much smoother. Heath stayed in the cockpit for a while before returning to his lounge. He then lay on the sofa, looking at his phone with a bored expression. Mew and Zoroark were still playing games. These two little guys had a unique obsession with games. Farfetch'd was still practicing flipping a wok. Charizard was still the same as always, diligently working on his muscles.

Snorlax was sleeping there. Winter had arrived recently, and the weather was getting colder and colder, but Snorlax had become more and more active. However, perhaps because there was nothing fun on the highway, Snorlax started its daily sleeping routine. Many times, Heath saw Snorlax, this big guy, sleeping all the time without stopping.

Heath yawned wearily. He felt sleepy, and since it was still early, he simply lay down on the sofa, squinting his eyes and trying to fall asleep.

Just as Heath was feeling a little sleepy, he felt something soft and cool against his face.

"Heath!" With a childish voice calling out, Heath knew who it was without even opening his eyes.

"Ralts, what's wrong?" Hiss picked Ralts up and lifted her high in the air, then looked at her and asked.

Laltras held up what she was holding. Heath curiously took a look and immediately recognized it: it was an educational toy, a freebie that came with a book Zoroark had bought. According to Zoroark, the protagonist of the book loved these kinds of toys and would often play with them. After he had identified the suspect, he would open the toy and say, "I have debunked all the fallacies and obtained the truth!" It sounded like a detective novel.

At first, Heath was quite happy, thinking that Zoroark had reformed and given up those strange books in favor of relatively normal novels. However, after taking a look at the cover, Heath knew that he was too naive. Zoroark always managed to find some strange novels, and even if they seemed normal, they would become abnormal once Zoroark set his sights on them.

"Can't open it?" But looking at Ralts' anxious appearance, Hiss roughly knew what the little guy wanted to do, which made Hiss want to laugh a little. Although Ralts is a Psychic Pokémon, and Psychic Pokémon are often quite intelligent, Ralts is still a little guy who was born not long ago, so it is quite normal that he doesn't know how to open this thing.

Hiss reached out and took the small toy from Ralts's hand. It looked like a cube, but it was made up of several parts. Normally, you would try to pull it apart, but you wouldn't be able to. However, Hiss didn't try, because he had tried before and almost broke it. The way to open it was very simple: just hold it in your hand, use one corner to brace against the table, and then turn it around.

With Hiss's turn, the thing was completely shattered and opened up. Ralts let out a happy sound. Hiss smiled, then looked up and suddenly found that Zoroark had stopped moving, and Mew was also silent. Hiss was stunned. What was going on?

Even Ralts, who was standing right in front of Hiss, didn't move.

Chapter 648 What Giratina Wants to Eat

The toy was in Ralts's hand, but it was floating in the air, as if the world had suddenly been frozen in time. Heath was a little surprised, but then Heath saw a familiar guy walking over. It was Giratina, wearing a black suit, and yawning as he came out of the toilet next to him. Heath's expression was a little strange. Why would Giratina come out of the toilet?

"Good afternoon, Hiss. Make me something to eat, please." Giratina said in a very familiar manner. Hiss's lips twitched. Is this why you froze all my Pokémon? Hiss had thought it was Dialga who came, but he never expected it to be Giratina.

"...Alright, what would you like to eat?" Heath was a little helpless, but considering that entertaining Giratina would give him some good things, Heath nodded and agreed. Anyway, there were all kinds of ingredients in the dining car, so even if Giratina wanted to eat caviar, Heath could make him some.

"Hmm... let me think. Give me some sashimi, preferably the kind that's as thin as a cicada's wing and looks beautiful." Giratina stroked his chin, then walked over to Ralts, bent down and patted Ralts' head. Hiss looked at Giratina suspiciously. Ralts was a ghost still in this world. It was hard to say that Giratina thought Ralts should be sent to the Reverse World, and then just played the role of a Soul Reaper and took Ralts away.

Giratina noticed Hiss's gaze and rolled his eyes. What was this guy thinking? Putting aside the fact that Ralts was in such a state that he couldn't possibly take it with him, even if he could, Giratina had no interest in getting involved with a mere Pokémon. Giratina had seen far too many Pokémon like Ralts, whose tragic past gave birth to endless obsessions. If it weren't for Hiss, he wouldn't bother wasting his power to solidify this little guy's power.

"What are you thinking? I have no interest in her until she fulfills her wish, nor will I take her to the world where ghosts should reside." Giratina glanced at Hiss, then looked at Ralts in front of her. This little guy's time...

There aren't many left.

"Okay, just a moment." Heath wiped his hands and stood up. Giratina's request was quite simple. Although it sounded a bit complicated, it was actually nothing special. If other people or Pokémon wanted to eat sashimi, Heath would advise them to think it over. After all, eating sashimi could lead to parasitic diseases or other troublesome illnesses. This was not an exaggeration on Heath's part.

Even when handling seafood, getting pricked by fish scales or shrimp heads can lead to a deadly bacterial infection that can be life-threatening. If you don't get to the hospital in time, you might as well prepare for the worst. So, although seafood tastes good, it still poses risks for chefs. Heath always wears gloves when handling seafood, and being careful about dangers is very important. Even though Heath is a very experienced chef, he is still very cautious about these things.

However, if it were Giratina, Heath wouldn't care. After all, Giratina is a legendary Pokémon, and its physical condition is excellent. There's no need to worry about it having any problems. So Heath didn't try to dissuade it. Instead, he selected a fine sea bream and then planned to make a unique sea bream sashimi for Giratina.

Sea bream is a high-quality sea fish with a great taste. However, many Chinese people know about sea bream from a classic childhood anime, in which a chef served up a dish called "Frozen Sea Bream Mountain".

Heath's interest in cooking began with the seemingly fantastical dish, "Icy Fresh Sea Bream Mountain." However, he later realized that there are no truly luminous dishes in the world. Many of the dishes in "MasterChef" are actually unique, self-created cuisines, which Heath found quite interesting. However, in practice, the chef still needs to find the right balance. This time, though, Heath found "Icy Fresh Sea Bream Mountain" quite easy to handle, since he's now starting to cook in a way that's almost inhuman.

After all, there were no secret seasonings or Dialga's cleaver in his previous life. With these things, Heath felt that he could make most of the dishes in the world, and none of them would be very difficult. Heath was quite confident about this. With that in mind, Heath took out Dialga's cleaver and began to prepare.

The best option would have been to have Snorlax come over. If Snorlax were here, Seath could have made it spit out a piece of iceberg, and then the prepared sashimi could be placed on it directly, creating the "Iceberg Sea Snapper." However, since Snorlax was still suspended, Seath could only ask Giratina for a small piece of iceberg and put it in his kitchen.

Heath glanced outside and saw that the food truck was still moving normally. It seemed that only Heath's Pokémon were stationary, which relieved Heath. If things continued like this, Heath didn't know how long it would take to get to Vermilion City.

“Now…” Heath took out Dialga’s cleaver and began slicing sashimi. In Heath’s opinion, the most important thing about the sashimi of the Retsu Ice Sea Bream Mountain is that it has to be thin, the thinner the better. Only in this way can it be stuck to the ice mountain so that it is not visible for a moment. It has to be said that this is very difficult, but for a chef like Heath who can cut tofu into Wensi tofu, it is nothing.

In Heath's opinion, the most difficult thing was actually the ice knife, but with Dialga's knife, the ice knife could take a backseat. After all, when it comes to preserving the freshness of ingredients, no ice knife or fire knife can compare to Dialga's knife. Dialga's knife can keep the cut part in the freshest state, which is basically equivalent to cutting into freshly caught sea fish while the fish is still lively and jumping. You can imagine that the freshness has reached the ultimate level.

Soon, Heath finished cutting up a sea bream, and the iceberg next to her was also covered with sashimi. Next, she would make a dipping sauce with her secret seasoning, which would definitely taste better than what Renn made.

Chapter 649 Two Weeks

"This thing of yours... is quite creative, isn't it?" Giratina looked at the iceberg in front of him in surprise. Of course, he could see what was covered on the iceberg, but because he saw it, Giratina was really surprised. He had imagined what Heath would make for him, but such a unique food was really hard to imagine. Giratina even doubted whether he was seeing things.

After picking up a slice of sea bream with his chopsticks, Giratina couldn't help but smack his lips. This unique dish was indeed somewhat unimaginable, and the sashimi was incredibly thin, even extremely thin. This made Giratina wonder if Dialga could achieve the same effect if he were to cut the fish. The sashimi was practically as thin as a cicada's wing, and through this piece of fish, Giratina felt as if he could see another side of light.

"Yeah, I made it once before, but this time it turned out even better." Heath wiped his hands and nodded. This wasn't the first time Heath had made this Frozen Sea Bream Mountain. After all, in the anime "Cooking Master Boy," Frozen Sea Bream Mountain is one of the few dishes that is relatively easy to recreate. Of course, this is excluding the ice knife. Making an ice knife is not difficult, but how to make an ice knife sharp enough to cut fish while still ensuring its thickness is the problem.

Fortunately, Heath had a better choice this time: Dialga's cleaver. Due to its special nature, Heath felt that this cleaver would be enough for him to use until he retired. Moreover, this "Frozen Sea Bream Mountain" had some unique features compared to the previous ones. The dipping sauce for the "Frozen Sea Bream Mountain" was different. This time, because Heath used a secret seasoning, the dipping sauce for the "Frozen Sea Bream Mountain" tasted even better, even reaching an effect similar to that in the anime.

It's even more exaggerated than in the anime. After all, eating it in the anime only causes shock and hallucinations, but Heath's secret seasoning has some magical effects, such as helping to strengthen the body. Therefore, Heath feels that his Fiery Ice Sea Bream Mountain has surpassed the one in Little Chef. Of course, Heath is not in the world of Little Chef, so there is no comparison. Otherwise, Heath could try to compete with Rein to see whose cooking skills are better.

"It tastes very good... This must be a secret seasoning from the Padia region, right? I didn't expect you to have even this." Giratina nodded approvingly. The food tasted very good, and most importantly, the dipping sauce was also very well-matched. Putting a slice of raw fish in it even gave you the feeling that the fish was coming to life in your mouth. After swallowing it, your whole body felt warm and comfortable.

Although Giratina is a legendary Pokémon and there's no need to worry about parasites, the fish Heath chose were also parasite-free. Heath had tested them with his food safety device, which is why he felt comfortable feeding them to Giratina. Otherwise, Heath wouldn't have served them. After all, he takes the safety of the ingredients in his kitchen very seriously. In Heath's view, a chef can be 'casual' with some things, but the safety of ingredients must be taken very seriously, because these are the things that guests will eat. If the chef himself doesn't pay attention to these issues, how can the guests eat with peace of mind?

[You entertained Giratina, and you received 2 Leaf Vein Cards]

Heath raised an eyebrow. It was pretty much what he expected. The things they gave Giratina to entertain them with were quite good. They gave him two cards at once. Although Heath still didn't understand what the cards were for, he kept them anyway, thinking he would find out eventually.

"It tastes great... It was worth coming up here specifically to give Ralts the solid." Giratina wiped his mouth with satisfaction. He had finished eating, and it was all clean. Except for the iceberg, which he hadn't touched, he had eaten all the other sashimi. He had even used up all the dipping sauce. Giratina was quite satisfied with the food this time.

"Solid?" Hiss was taken aback. What a strange term! But considering Ralts, Hiss had a feeling that something was not right.

“Every ghost that remains in this world consumes its energy every day, every minute. When their energy is almost depleted, they will vanish into nothingness. The weaker the soul, the faster it dissipates. It’s already quite remarkable that this little guy has lasted this long. However, even if I solidify her, this little guy probably only has two weeks left.” Giratina said calmly. Hiss stared blankly at Giratina. He really hadn’t expected that Ralts could dissipate before fulfilling her wish.

"Then...can it be solidified again?" Heath asked eagerly. Heath had grown quite fond of this cute little guy after spending so much time with him.

Giratina gave Heath a strange look, then shook his head.

“Of course not, her soul strength is too weak, so she can’t withstand a second solidification. I think if I intervene, this little guy will be like a balloon that’s been inflated too much but is still being inflated… You know what I mean?” Giratina asked Hiss, who nodded silently. He certainly understood what she meant. In other words, if Giratina were to solidify Ralts again, Ralts would explode like a balloon without anyone else having to intervene.

Then there really won't be any solid matter left, since it's no different from the soul being scattered.

“So, let her come to the Reverse World as soon as possible; that’s where she should be.” Giratina patted Heath on the shoulder and then walked behind Heath. Heath turned around, but there was only an empty kitchen behind her; she couldn’t see Giratina at all.

Silently, Hiss pushed open the door to the lounge. Zoroark and Mew were still playing games, while Ralts had fallen asleep on the sofa. Hiss walked over to the sofa, sat down, and patted Ralts' head.

Looking at Ralts's deep blue hair, trembling eyelashes, and pale face, Hiss couldn't help but sigh. There were less than two weeks left.

Chapter 650 Corrupted Leaf City

Heath himself didn't know if this amount of time was enough for him to fulfill Ralts's obsession. There wasn't much he could do now; he could only wait for Officer Jenny's investigation results. The flowerpot where he had planted the special seed hadn't shown any signs of life yet. Heath didn't even know how to make it sprout, let alone make it bloom.

Even so, Hiss will not give up the idea of ​​continuing the research. As long as the flower can bloom, then the problem with Ralts should be solved. However, Hiss still does not know what the flower is. Hiss has tried watering and fertilizing, but there has been no effect. However, this is all Hiss can do now.

"Huh? Trainer, when did you go out?" Zoroark looked at Hiss in surprise, put the controller on the ground, and then came over. Mew was very unhappy. It was about to win, but Zoroark cheated and ran away.

“Just now.” Hiss felt a little heavy-hearted. He looked at Ralts sleeping soundly on the sofa. Come to think of it, before, touching Ralts' head felt solid, but later Ralts' head became more and more…

Well, Hiss didn't know how to describe the feeling. It was like Ralts' head felt light and non-existent, but now, it felt like a normal head when touched. There was no strange feeling. Hiss knew that this was because Giratina was solidified. If it weren't for Giratina being solidified, Hiss thought Ralts might have already turned to dust.

Hiss had always been worried that Ralts would leave him after fulfilling her wish, but he hadn't expected that if Ralts didn't fulfill her wish, she might die at any moment, and now there were less than two weeks left, which left Hiss at a loss.
