I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Excuse me, may I bother you for a moment?" A man's voice woke Heath from his reverie. He looked up and saw a young man standing in front of him. Noticing Heath looking at him, the young man even gave a slight smile. Heath looked at the person in front of him in confusion. How interesting. He didn't see any requirements for food on the young man's head. It seemed that he wasn't here to eat. So what was the young man here for?

"May I ask what's the matter?" Heath asked calmly. At first, he thought the man was a salesman, since he had seen many such people. However, this man did not seem to be a salesman. He was dressed very well and was not carrying anything in his hand except an envelope. In that case, he seemed more like a postman.

"Hello, it's like this, I'm an employee of Silph Corporation. Originally, Ms. Nami was supposed to be in charge of coordinating this matter with you, but she's sick today with a bad cold and is currently receiving IV fluids at the Pokémon Center, so she can't come to greet you. Therefore, the company specially sent me to deliver a ticket to tomorrow's technology exhibition to you." The boy said with a smile. His smile was very sincere, and coupled with his good looks and fashion sense, he made a pretty good first impression.

However, that wasn't Heath's focus; he was concerned with something else entirely.

"Miss Nami is sick?" Heath was taken aback. He had been wondering why Miss Nami hadn't come today. It turned out that Miss Nami was sick. In that case, it made sense.

But if you get sick...

Heath thought about it. According to traditional Chinese beliefs, many people think that it is best to drink porridge when you are sick. However, what you eat when you are sick is a very important matter. If it is a gastrointestinal problem, it is not suitable to eat spicy and stimulating foods after you are sick, as this will aggravate the burden on your gastrointestinal tract. One of Heath's roommates did this before. He ate spicy hot pot before his gastroenteritis was fully cured, and then went to the infirmary that night.

However, there are no major taboos when it comes to a cold. The only thing to be concerned about is whether it is a common cold or a gastrointestinal cold. If it is a gastrointestinal cold, then you should eat light food, otherwise too spicy food will make you feel nauseous, which is very troublesome.

"Okay, thank you very much. Could you please tell me which hospital Nami is in?" Heath politely accepted the gift, thanked him, and then looked at the man in front of him and asked him. He planned to make a meal for Nami. After all, although Nami was just a tool, she had made a great contribution to the fact that his food truck was able to upgrade safely without attracting the attention of the League.

The man didn't react much. Instead, he calmly told Heath where Nami was hospitalized and her room number, and then he left. Heath then began to prepare food for Nami.

Heath had just asked, and Nami probably has a viral cold. Viral colds often cause a loss of appetite, though it varies from person to person. Heath had seen people who ate and drank a lot during their colds. But considering Nami's condition, Heath decided to make her some porridge. Porridge is a light and easy-to-eat food, making it a good choice.

Chapter 763 Cynthia = Orchid

There are many kinds of porridge, and Heath chose a light and sweet pumpkin and millet porridge, which is good for the stomach and not complicated to make. Heath quickly finished making it and then called a deliveryman to send it to the hospital where Nami was. Heath had considered whether to go by himself, but a group of people who suddenly barged in interrupted his thoughts, so he could only stay in the food cart. However, when Heath looked at Cynthia, who was smiling at him, he couldn't help but touch his nose. Had Cynthia completely stopped pretending?

Heath hadn't expected that just as he finished making the porridge and was about to deliver it to Nami to curry favor, he would see Cynthia enter with Lance and a film crew, accompanied by Officer Jenny. Heath's lips twitched at the sight; it looked like some important figure was making an inspection tour. Moreover, with the arrival of Lance and Cynthia, Heath felt his food truck instantly become overcrowded, packed with people. A large group of excited citizens of Goldenrod City were taking pictures with their phones, clearly very excited, as the flashes were almost blinding to Heath's eyes.

"Champion Cynthia, this is the food truck from Silph Corporation that incorporates a lot of advanced technology." Elite Fouror said politely. Cynthia's strength is beyond doubt. She became the champion of the Sinnoh region at a young age and can be considered a big shot. Moreover, when Cynthia came before, he, as the person who received Cynthia, had sparred with her privately.

This sparring match was not made public, but Awaken lost. Cynthia's strength was terrifying, making people's scalps tingle, and Awaken did not defeat Cynthia.

However, this also gave Ayarko some new ideas about his future training plans. He intends to continue training, become stronger, and then challenge the Kanto League's Elite Four, eventually becoming a member of the Kanto League...

Ok?

Awakened for a moment. If that's the case, he's already the champion of the Johto region, so it's probably impossible for him to become the champion of the Kanto region as well.

"I know, because the owner of this food truck is my boyfriend~" Cynthia smiled sweetly, openly displaying her relationship with Heath in front of everyone. The entire food truck fell silent instantly. While everyone stared in disbelief, Cynthia gracefully walked to Heath's side and took his arm. Heath was completely bewildered, staring blankly at Cynthia. Cynthia couldn't help but laugh at Heath's expression. With Cynthia's laughter, the food truck returned to its previous state. However, looking at the incredulous expressions of those around him, A-Du thought this news would probably only be revealed tomorrow…

No, today, this afternoon and tonight at 1 PM, everyone in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions will know that Cynthia, who just reached the top of the Sinnoh region and became the Sinnoh Champion, has found a boyfriend in the Kanto region, and has even publicly announced it!

This news is absolutely astonishing! You have to understand, this is Cynthia, the beauty champion of the Sinnoh region, and Cynthia? To put it bluntly, she's just an ordinary person, at most a food truck owner or a chef, but she actually managed to win Cynthia's heart!

And if you look closely, you'll find...

Well, to be honest, Heath isn't particularly handsome, but he's the kind of guy who grows on you, with a gentle kind of handsomeness.

You wicked Azathy!

"...You really are unpredictable." Heath looked at Cynthia beside him, both amused and exasperated. His face flushed slightly. Cynthia was quite well-endowed; her figure was truly stunning.

"Hmph, you're probably so happy you could fly, aren't you?" Cynthia's face was also red. Although Cynthia was a strong-willed girl and not particularly shy, announcing her boyfriend in public still made her feel a little embarrassed. Even so, Cynthia hugged Heath tightly, and Heath didn't try to break free. It has to be said, it was quite nice to be hugged like that.

"Ah, I've already thought about what to name my future children and how many I'll have," Heath said in a serious, low voice. Cynthia blushed even more upon hearing this, looking flustered and at a loss for what to do. However, she then lightly stepped on Heath's foot, but still stood there with her arm around Heath's without saying a word.

The reporters were the first to react. At this moment, they completely disregarded the fact that Heath was a popular idol and wanted to shove their cameras right in his face, leaving Heath somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Cough cough cough... Ah... Champion Cynthia is really... um, no, Mr. Heath is really a lucky man, hahaha." Awakening started to warm up the atmosphere, but he felt there was no need to, because everyone was already in an uproar. Heath felt that his and Cynthia's current state would probably spread throughout the entire Kanto world in no time. Looking at Officer Jenny giving him a thumbs up, Heath was also a little amused and exasperated. It seemed that Maple would be calling him soon, right?

The lively atmosphere continued until Cynthia bit her lower lip and smiled as she said goodbye to Heath. Only then did Heath's food truck quiet down a little, but only for a moment. Soon, Heath's phone was ringing off the hook with calls and text messages, and a large number of customers entered the food truck. With no other option, Heath had to announce a temporary closure and then focus on dealing with the greetings from his friends and family on his phone. In particular, Officer Jenny sent a message saying "Good lad," which made Heath feel uneasy.

Maple is a very special person to Heath. She is Heath's sister, although not his biological sister. Heath didn't have any family when he came to this world, so Maple is actually Heath's family. Therefore, if they were to get married in the future, Heath would have to introduce Cynthia to Maple.

"Phew... This is really unexpected..." By the time Heath finished replying to the message, it was already getting dark, but even so, he could guess that there were probably quite a few people outside his dining car, including reporters, media, and onlookers. That was for sure.

"But how am I supposed to run this business?" Heath pondered. He felt that once the store opened tomorrow, a huge crowd would likely come into the food truck. Should he ask his cheat code if he could create a clone or something? Heath figured that even with Farfetch'd, he might still be too busy.

Chapter 764 Technology Exhibition

However, the next day, Heath realized he had been overthinking things. Although he was opening for business that day, it was only at the Golden City Tech Show. Tech shows are always crowded, so even though Heath was now one of the most popular celebrities, he didn't feel anything unusual. The only trouble he encountered was driving to buy groceries. However, it was limited to a few people coming up to him to ask questions or request photos. This made Heath somewhat amused and exasperated. Fortunately, not everyone swarmed around him, which relieved him.

"But how can something like this make it to the top of the trending list? Isn't that a bit too outrageous..." Heath's lips twitched. He really didn't expect that he would become the number one trending topic. This was also the reason why Zoroark pressed his phone against his face as soon as he woke up.

Heath finally managed to take his phone off his face before he could see the text: "[Sinnoh Champion Cynthia Announces Her Relationship]" was trending at number one. Heath's lips twitched. He used to hate celebrities who would dominate the trending topics with their marriage or relationship announcements, feeling they were wasting public resources. But he never expected that the same treatment would befall him in the blink of an eye. He really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Heath is just an ordinary person, and Cynthia said she didn't want too much outside interference from the outside world, so Heath can live a relatively peaceful life. However, Heath also knows that it will be very difficult for her to go back to how things were before.

"Hehehe, I never expected that the person who likes you, Trainer, is actually the Sinnoh Champion!" Zoroark let out a strange laugh, then looked at Hiss with a very strange smile. Hiss felt uncomfortable all over; he felt that Zoroark's smile was like that kind of "auntie smile" that people talk about online, making him feel uneasy.

Although Zoroark is a Pokémon, it is a very smart little creature, so it naturally knows what the title of Champion represents in this world. It means that its trainer has found someone whose strength is among the top in the world.

Although Zoroark was initially unhappy that Cynthia was stealing the trainer's attention, he could only say "it's actually great!" at this moment.

"Goodness, you little fox, you're playing favorites, aren't you?" Heath ruffled Zoroark's hair. This little guy was really too honest, but that was just Zoroark's personality, and Heath was used to it.

“After all, the opponent is the champion, he’s the champion!” Zoroark said excitedly. Heath shook his head, ignoring Zoroark and looking out of the food truck. He had arrived at the entrance of the technology exhibition building in Goldenrod City. Originally, Heath’s food truck should have been parked in the garage, but since it was an exhibit at the technology exhibition, he was granted permission to enter. He drove the food truck directly into the very distinctive building, which was naturally the work of a master and was undeniably very interesting and beautiful.

There's a saying in the art world: "If Golden City were to become a wasteland, all architects would go there." This is because Golden City's land area is limited, and expansion is not easy. As a result, Golden City has a very high status, and designers who aren't very famous can't really design their own buildings there.

Upon entering the exhibition center of the technology expo, Heath was assigned a prime location. Not to mention that the Siluf Corporation would never allow Heath's food truck to be placed in a remote location, as it was their technological marvel. If it weren't for the fact that Heath also needed to do business, these people would have even planned to create a central stage for Heath's food truck to park on.

Moreover, Heath is now the boyfriend of Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, a top-tier figure, so he naturally received preferential treatment. Heath's location was even a prime spot that the organizers of this exhibition discussed for a long time before giving it to him.

"...You guys really went to a lot of trouble." Heath looked at the incredibly luxurious booth in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his lips. This booth was truly too luxurious, and it occupied a lot of space. In addition, there was a very large dining area with tables and chairs everywhere, but it didn't feel too crowded. It was just the right size. Moreover, to take care of the diners' feelings, the outside was surrounded by a special kind of glass. Whether you looked in from the outside or from the inside, you could only see the scenery and not the people. It can be said that they were very considerate.

"Mr. Heath, this was specially designed for you by Salian." The staff member next to him said politely. Heath touched his nose. Goodness, Ms. Salian? Heath really knew her. She was a famous architect who signed her name in Golden City. Moreover, this architect had a strange quirk: she especially liked to design for champions. However, the champion had to get along with her. If they didn't get along, she wouldn't design for them. It seemed that his girlfriend had also put in a lot of effort.

"Thank you so much. With this place, I don't have to worry about whether there will be enough seats for our guests anymore." Heath said gratefully. Such a large dining area is the envy of all the canteens at this technology expo, not to mention the vendors outside. Heath knew that the food stalls at the technology expo sold for as much as 30,000 a day. Heath didn't even dare to imagine how much an area this large would cost.

The staff member smiled and reminded Heath of the opening time, but didn't mention any precautions.

"Um, I was wondering if there are any requirements for the dishes we make? Like, they can't be too strong in smell or anything." Heath thought of a question and quickly asked. After all, this was a technology exhibition, and if people came in and smelled a strong hot pot smell, they might think they had come to a food street.

"That won't affect anything, Mr. Heath. This area has top-of-the-line isolation facilities that can block out any smells. Only those who enter your area will be able to smell the odors inside," the staff member continued to explain. Heath nodded. Wow, technology really does change lives.

Looking around, Heath nodded in satisfaction; this place was indeed quite nice.

Chapter 765 The Kitchen God

Heath was busy preparing the ingredients for today. After all, there would definitely be a lot of guests today, so some ingredients could be prepared in advance. However, some ingredients could not be prepared in advance, as they would affect the taste if left out for too long. But any experienced chef would not let such a thing happen, and Heath herself was a chef with some experience.

"What are you chopping?" Just as Heath was concentrating on chopping vegetables, he suddenly felt something soft against his back. Then, a pleasant aroma wafted into Heath's nostrils, and at the same time, Heath saw golden hair hanging down beside his face. Heath's hand trembled, but fortunately, he remained calm and didn't cut his hand.

The person who suddenly hugged him from behind could only be Cynthia; there was no one else who could have done it.

After confirming his relationship with Cynthia, Heath made her a person who could enter his food truck rest area and kitchen.

"Ahem, I was chopping potatoes here." Heath coughed twice. That little rascal Zoroark, without reminding him, hadn't even noticed when Cynthia came in while he was focused on chopping vegetables, which was why he was startled. Of course, after the initial shock subsided, it turned into a touch of romance. Cynthia was very light and soft, like a large cushion, and she smelled wonderful, with an indescribable fragrance, he didn't know if it was perfume or something else.

Heath had once heard a saying that if someone smelled a girl's body odor on another girl, it meant that the person's genes had chosen that girl, and that the two were genetically very compatible. However, Heath didn't know whether this was true or false.

But Heath did think Cynthia smelled nice.

"Huh? Cutting potatoes? But why soak them in water?" Cynthia asked another question like a curious child.

"Because potatoes taste better when soaked in water after being cut, and it also prevents them from discoloring." Heath shrugged. Was that something called oxidation? But Heath didn't quite remember. He wasn't that knowledgeable about these things. Anyway, he just did it according to his traditions as a chef. For example, even though it had been proven in his previous life that there were no gods or Kitchen Gods, chefs would still do what they were supposed to do according to old customs when the Kitchen God, whose full name was the Nine Heavens Eastern Kitchen Master of Fate, the Great Emperor of the Primordial Unity, the Heavenly Venerable of Fixed Blessings and Good Deeds, went to heaven to report on his work.

Although the Kitchen God is said to report good and evil deeds to Heaven, which seems to have nothing to do with the kitchen, he is, after all, the god of the kitchen. Later, the function of the Kitchen God was extended to include the god of cooking. So at this time, people would smear syrup or honey on the mouth of the Kitchen God's statue or image, meaning to ask the Kitchen God to speak well of them in Heaven. Heath once suspected that the idea of ​​smearing honey on the mouth came about from this.

It must be said that although these things have no basis, habits and customs are powerful things, and Heath retained this habit.

"Oh!" Cynthia nodded blankly. Heath covered his face, thinking that Cynthia definitely didn't understand what he meant. But oh well, he was home anyway, and Cynthia didn't need to cook...

But if that's the case, does Cynthia know how to cook? Hiss was quite curious. After all, in his previous life, when he watched anime and played games, the Cynthia he saw was always a Champion, a terrifyingly strong Champion. However, in this world, Pokémon battles aren't eternal, and not all villains are obsessed with having a Pokémon battle with the heroes of justice. They use all sorts of tricks and schemes, like self-destructing their bases, close combat, or even the attitude of "If I can't handle your Pokémon, I can't handle you either," to deal with the opposing trainer. So, becoming a Champion is actually quite an achievement.

Every champion possesses the power to overwhelm others. Just like how A-du Tianwang rarely makes an appearance, but when he does, it's usually no small matter.

"Cynthia... no, should I call you Cynthia or Cynthia?" Hiss asked Cynthia curiously. Actually, Cynthia's original name should be Cynthia, but when this girl first met him, she made up a name called Cynthia to hide her identity. And this name also fits Hiss's mind, so he called her that.

“Of course it’s Cynthia! You could also call me Cynthia, but I think it would sound too formal and a bit strange. So, Heath, I’d prefer you call me Cynthia!” Cynthia said happily. Heath touched his nose. She really was Cynthia, wasn’t she? But that was fine. Heath hadn’t really considered calling her anything else anyway. Calling her anything else always felt odd to him, and he was definitely used to calling her Cynthia.

"So, Cynthia, can you cook?" Heath asked curiously, and Cynthia immediately nodded, very confidently. Heath was stunned for a moment. Goodness, she really can cook?

"But all I can make is fried rice. After all, when I traveled before, sometimes I stayed in hotels and that was all I could eat." Cynthia smiled shyly. Heath smiled slightly. Being able to make fried rice was already quite impressive. Egg fried rice tastes great, and most importantly, it's actually very simple to make without any major problems.

"If you want to eat any dishes, I can learn how to make them too~" Cynthia smiled at Heath with her hands behind her back. Looking at Cynthia in front of him, Heath admitted that he was a little infatuated. After all, his girlfriend was so beautiful and very cute.

So Heath mustered his courage and took Cynthia's hand, and Cynthia took Heath's hand without hesitation.

“That’s different. I can cook, so just leave it to me,” Heath said with a smile. He was a chef, and cooking for his loved ones was a very meaningful thing.

“Okay~” Cynthia agreed quickly.

Just as Heath was about to say something more, his alarm clock went off, signaling the start of the technology expo.

Chapter 766 Take a break

"What a hassle, I still have to go on stage and give a speech." Cynthia pouted, looking unhappy. Heath was a little amused and exasperated. His girlfriend was really peculiar. Giving a speech in front of so many people, especially as a key figure, was something many people dreamed of, something they would even pay for. Moreover, this was a technology expo. If Cynthia just said a few advertising slogans, wouldn't that save a lot on advertising costs? So, for others, Cynthia's speech would be the best thing in the world, worth spending hundreds of thousands or even millions. But his girlfriend seemed to really dislike this kind of speech.

Hiss stroked his chin. He remembered that Cynthia was a very competent champion in the later stages of the tournament. She was strong and serious, and she was also quite dedicated to the affairs of the League. Currently, Hiss thought that the most irresponsible champion in the world was probably Steven from the Hoenn region. After all, Mr. Steven really loved digging for rocks. In fact, later on, because he felt that his position as the League Champion was too restrictive, he directly gave up his League Champion title and went to dig for rocks. He was probably the number one in the League.

Another one who doesn't focus on her main job is Karune, who is both a champion and an idol. However, compared to Daigo, who is often nowhere to be found, Karune is probably a more competent champion.

"Isn't that great? How do these beef balls taste?" Heath ladled a bowl of beef balls he had made last night and this morning for Cynthia. They were very bouncy and tasted good. Most importantly, since it was time for the event to start and Cynthia needed to give a speech, she couldn't afford to eat anything time-consuming like hot pot. Instead, beef balls, which only needed to be cooked, were a great choice. This time, Heath had even made a special dipping sauce to enhance the flavor of the beef balls. Although the beef balls themselves tasted good, they would taste even better with the dipping sauce, at least that's Heath's opinion.

"It's delicious!" Seeing Cynthia's happy expression, Heath couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed that what he thought was pretty much right; Cynthia actually quite liked eating this too. This was a good thing, at least proving that Heath's idea was correct. However, Heath wasn't too worried. After all, eating beef balls with dipping sauce was the way he ate them in his previous life. Everyone's taste was different, and there were several choices for dipping sauce. Heath personally preferred the Dai-style sour and spicy dipping sauce, which he considered the best choice.

After seeing off the reluctant Cynthia, Hiss opened for business. Actually, he had no choice but to open; within moments, people were already waiting outside Hiss's food truck. Hiss quickly opened the door and began operations. However, because there were many other dining areas outside, Hiss had to have Zoroark coordinate the servers arranged by the Alliance. Otherwise, Zoroark would have been exhausted from running around. Hiss didn't know how many people would arrive, but he was worried that his food reserves wouldn't be enough. He knew that with the food he had stored, he could easily survive on a deserted island for ten or twenty years if he were stranded there alone.

However, if there are too many guests, there won't be enough food.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Heath's food truck was packed. Heath also noticed something interesting: the first customers to enter his truck were the happiest, while the others who had to sit outside because the truck was full were somewhat disappointed. Some even said they would rather wait there than sit outside. This made Heath both amused and exasperated. Fortunately, the Alliance had staff on hand, so they managed to persuade these people to go where they were supposed to be.

"Trainer! This customer wants beef stew in red wine!" Zoroark didn't bother pretending anymore, and this time Hiss gave her an earpiece so Zoroark wouldn't have to come back. However, Hiss was really too busy to reply when he heard Zoroark's words, because he was currently processing the food at his hands at a rapid pace. Hiss had also woken up Snorlax to deal with the customer who ordered beef balls.

Yes, Heath had put up a sign outside the food truck that said today's chef's recommendation was beef balls, and also noted that the beef balls could be eaten on the go. This was to divert customers; otherwise, if all the customers who came to eat came to his stall, unless Heath could create multiple clones, he would be too busy to keep up. Even so, Heath felt his mind was constantly on edge.

"Thank goodness for this..." Heath glanced at the display screen in his kitchen. At first, Heath didn't understand why there was a display screen in his food cart. This thing should be in the dining area of ​​the food cart, not in his kitchen. But now Heath knew that this thing was really useful. Its main purpose was to let Heath see the food that the guests had ordered. However, only the dishes that had been reported would be displayed on the screen. This way, Heath would know what dishes to make when he looked up. Heath also told Farfetch'd that he would make even numbers and Farfetch'd would make odd numbers. If there were any dishes that he didn't know how to make, he could tell Heath and Heath would make them.

Even though Heath had tried many methods, and the Alliance had said there were many restaurants in the technology exhibition area, Heath's place was still packed. It was so packed that Heath didn't even have time to look up. By the time Heath relaxed a little, it was already afternoon. Looking at the slightly quieter restaurants, Heath breathed a sigh of relief, and then his stomach started rumbling. Heath touched his stomach; he hadn't even had lunch yet.

"Phew..." Heath let out a long breath, then glanced at Farfetch'd. The little guy was numb and was still cooking. Heath glanced at the screen, which showed another dish: braised fish, which wasn't too difficult.

"I'll take care of it, Farfetch'd. Go rest for a bit while there aren't many people around." Heath took out his phone and glanced at it. The tech expo started early, but it also closed early, at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Chapter 767 Silence is tonight's...

"Boss, could you tell me what time it is?" A girl rushed in anxiously. Heath, who had just finished making braised fish, glanced at her phone subconsciously and then casually answered the time: 3:23 PM. The closing time was fast approaching, so many people would take this opportunity to wander around the places they wanted to see to avoid missing out on what they wanted to see later. Heath could now finally get a rare rest.
