I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Heath stroked his chin, thinking it was quite possible. After all, isn't a bound spirit supposed to be unable to leave the place where it died? Thinking about it that way, these girls did indeed seem like that kind of bound spirit.

But Heath wasn't thinking about that right now; he was dealing with something else—what the three girls wanted to eat. The first thing he made was mashed potatoes and meat broth. It looked simple, but there were some tricks to making it delicious. For example, with potatoes, mashed potatoes would be fine, but Heath had just confirmed that Soo-hye wanted a whole potato, with an X-shaped cut made in it, and then the meat broth inside. That was what Soo-hye wanted.

Potatoes are a very common food, and they are relatively easy to fill you up. They are also inexpensive. However, when making minced meat, Heath thinks the best way is to make the potatoes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This is how to make potatoes taste the best. In addition, Heath also has some other methods to make the minced meat flavorful and the whole potato taste even better.

How to make it more flavorful? Of course, you should put the minced meat in while the potatoes are still raw. But to make the potatoes more flavorful, you need to poke them inside with a toothpick many times. This way, the potatoes will be more flavorful and also softer. As for the minced meat, Heath chose pork. Beef has too unique a flavor, fish is not suitable, and chicken is even worse. Only pork is good.

Even so, these things are not so easy to make. Meat paste looks simple; you just need to mince the pork and then grind it into a paste. Heath has a special machine for this, but if you want it to taste good, then the meat paste is actually the most important step.

The rich flavor of the minced meat is what gives this dish its soul. After that, there's not much else to control. All that's left is to cook the potatoes, then deep-fry them until they're crispy. This will make them taste even better.

After preparing this unique dish, Heath served it to Miss Xiuhui, but he didn't call Zoroark, because Zoroark couldn't see Miss Xiuhui; at this moment, only he could see her in the dining car.

So Heath turned around and continued to sit at the table serving tomato and egg soup with rice and fried chicken with cola. Fortunately, these foods were easy to make, so Heath finished cooking them all in no time and placed them in front of the two girls.

"It's actually edible!" Xiu Nian was shocked. Just smelling the aroma made her feel like she was floating on air. After all, she hadn't smelled this familiar scent for a very long time. But now she smelled it again. And when she actually tasted it, she found herself crying without realizing it.

The familiar taste, the familiar texture—everything felt so familiar yet so strange. The eldest sister, Xiuhui, was also eating quietly. Xiumei, perhaps because she was shy, was also eating, but only taking small bites. Xiunian had never tried this fried chicken before; it smelled delicious, so the three girls soon began to exchange it.

“Mr. Heath, these dishes are even more delicious than I remember.” Xiuhui smiled gratefully. Her memory of mashed potatoes and meat was not very vivid; she only remembered the rich aroma of meat and the feeling of fullness. But in Heath’s hands, this mashed potato and meat dish became real. She could now even describe in detail the blissful and intoxicating taste in her mouth.

"Thank you for the compliment." Heath smiled; he was glad the guests were satisfied.

You have completed today's reception duties, please...

"Quality!" Heath made his choice without hesitation. He then paused for a moment, followed by a look of astonishment. This reward was truly unique. Heath really hadn't expected to receive something like this. It was quite unexpected.

Chapter 772 Kyogre: Is this fishing meme going to never die?

You have obtained: Kyogre's Watering Can

[Kyogre's Watering Can: This is Kyogre's most beloved watering can. As a Water-type Pokémon, Kyogre doesn't need a watering can, but it contains its purest Primal Water. The amount is very small, and only 50 milliliters of Primal Water can be replenished each year. It has a magical effect when used to water any plant.]

Heath rubbed his face, then took a deep breath. He really hadn't expected the reward he'd receive this time to be so...

unique.

Yes, Hers can only be described as unique. And this time, the watering can even involve a legendary Pokémon, although it's Kyogre, which isn't a very prestigious legendary Pokémon. After all, before Suicune was caught in the fishing net, the story of Kyogre being caught by fishing nets was widely known, and there were even a lot of ridiculous illustrations derived from it, which was both funny and sad. But the problem is that this is the world of Pokémon, and legendary Pokémon really have the ability to destroy the world. For example, when Hers was modifying Farfetch'd's ability, he once thought about whether to give it an ability like Primal Sea. But then Hiss seemed to see torrential rain covering the entire Kanto region, causing floods, which was really terrifying.

So Hiss already knew that destroying the world wasn't difficult for legendary Pokémon, especially those two from the Hoenn region, one bringing drought and the other bringing torrential rain. Neither of them were easy Pokémon to deal with; in fact, they were quite troublesome, the kind that made your scalp tingle. But now, he never expected that Kyogre's water bottle would end up in his possession, and it seemed that this water bottle was very important to Kyogre. This was really dangerous.

“Hiss… Last time I took Dialga’s kitchenware, Dialga came to cause me trouble. So now…” Heath looked at the blue kettle in his hand. It was well maintained, and it was clear that its original owner had taken good care of it. However, the kettle was now his, which was a bit of a problem.

……

"?" At this moment, in an underwater cave in Hoenn, a blue-haired man was looking at his flower stand with a puzzled expression. He remembered that he had put the watering can here last time, so how come it was gone?

"That idiot Groudon has been here?" The man frowned. His first thought was of his old nemesis, Groudon. Only that idiot Groudon would do such a thing. But the problem was, if it really was Groudon, then the sea should have started to warm up by now. But he didn't sense anything unusual with Kyogre. In other words, this time it might not be Groudon's doing. But if it wasn't Groudon, then who was it?

Kyogre looked around in confusion, then he remembered something from the legendary Pokémon chat group—officially called the "Casual Pokémon Chat Group." Dialga had asked if Palkia was responsible for his things suddenly disappearing. Dialga later said the case was solved; it wasn't Palkia, but a human named Hiss. And then nothing more happened.

"Heath?" Kyogre's eyes narrowed. A mere human shouldn't be able to do that. This is a very deep place. Even Pokémon that can dive need to train and adapt to the water pressure here. An ordinary human shouldn't be able to rush into his room without him noticing.

Thinking of this, Kyogre took out his phone to call Dialga, but then he remembered that there was no signal underwater. Helpless, he could only leave his home, suppress his abilities, and swim towards the surface.

……

"Heath, I'm so tired, I want to eat something!" At this moment, Heath was unaware that a legendary Pokémon was planning to cause him trouble. He was chatting with Cynthia, who had brought him a gift. According to Cynthia, it was a gift from the Silph Corporation, and she felt that it was useless to her and should be given to Heath. Heath looked at it and thought that what Cynthia said made a lot of sense.

This is a thermometer that can detect the temperature inside a pot, and it doesn't need to be placed inside the pot; you can just put it on the stovetop. However, the stovetop must be manufactured by Silph Corporation, and coincidentally, all of Hiss's kitchens are filled with Silph products, so this thing is really suitable for Hiss. Hiss thinks it's quite interesting to give this gift to Cynthia. Silph Corporation definitely knows about his relationship with Cynthia, so giving her other things might not be appropriate, but giving her something that a chef can use means it can also be given to him, which is very suitable.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Heath smiled as he looked at the food in his hand. Siluf Corporation was thoughtful, and judging from their small gestures, their public relations skills must be quite good.

"Soft-boiled egg!" Cynthia immediately raised her hand. Heath was stunned for a moment. Soft-boiled egg?

Making soft-boiled eggs isn't difficult; it's no challenge for Heath. The only thing that worries Heath is that soft-boiled eggs generally require controlling the heat and temperature, which happens to be related to the thermometer that Cynthia gave her.

"Just soft-boiled eggs?" Heath asked again, because soft-boiled eggs are something Heath couldn't accept eating on their own. He really couldn't eat soft-boiled eggs without other staple foods. However, Heath also knew that his girlfriend was from the Sinnoh region, so it was hard to say whether they had any special customs there.

"Hehe, of course not. But where I was born and raised, there's a very special dish. I wonder if you, Heath, could make it." Cynthia chuckled foolishly. Heath was a little curious. Was it the food from Cynthia's hometown? That was quite an interesting question.

Then Hiss glanced at the top of Cynthia's head, looked at her food requirements, and then saw the food Cynthia had described. Hiss's eyes widened in astonishment; he truly hadn't expected such a thing to exist in the Pokémon world…

Heath could only say that this was a dish that probably no one would have thought of in his previous life, and it was even possible to make such a dish in his previous life. For a moment, Heath was really in a dilemma.

"This thing..."

Chapter 773 Torrential Rain

Slowpoke Noodles, a specialty dish from the Sinnoh region, or more accurately, a magical dish from Cynthia's location. Hiss was momentarily stunned when he saw Slowpoke listed as an ingredient, then realized it was made from Slowpoke tails. This eased his mind slightly, but only slightly. While Hiss knew Slowpoke tails were edible and supposedly sweet, their regenerative properties made them a key ingredient in some League specialties, such as desserts containing them, which were said to be quite delicious.

Although Heath knew that there were many ways to eat Pokémon in this world, Heath, who had played games and watched anime in his previous life, was actually somewhat unable to accept such unusual ways of eating them, since these methods of eating were all hard to accept.

And with Cynthia's explanation, Heath confirmed that what Cynthia was referring to was indeed this unique delicacy.

"Cynthia, um... I don't have any Slowpoke tails here." Hiss said, feigning some distress, but it was true. Hiss did not have any Slowpoke tails. Although he had seen Slowpoke tails in the supermarket, he had not bought any, so he naturally did not have any in stock.

“Actually, you can use carrots instead. After all, Slowpoke tails are quite expensive, and my grandma is a member of the Pokémon Protection Association, so she doesn’t actually let me eat Slowpoke tails.” Cynthia laughed. Hiss was stunned for a moment. There’s such a saying? But if it’s true, that’s great. Hiss can relax a lot. Hiss also knows about the Pokémon Protection Association that Cynthia mentioned. It’s an association that aims to protect Pokémon, but their protection is quite unique. They protect Pokémon from being eaten. They are a very reasonable organization.

For example, Pokémon like Alcremie and Sweet Bamboo can be eaten without affecting their health, so the Pokémon Conservation Society has no objection. However, Pokémon like Slowpoke, which requires its tail to be cut off, and Farfetch'd, which is almost extinct due to being eaten, are the ones they protect.

"Carrot? I'll give it a try." Heath nodded. Slowpoke Noodles—the name sounded quite unique, but it was really just that. It got its name because it used Slowpoke's tail. The rest of the preparation was no different from ordinary noodles. Only the Slowpoke tail was unique and the preparation was more complicated. Fortunately, Heath could try it with carrots, which put her at ease.

Before long, Heath had made a carrot. However, this carrot was quite unique; it really did look like a Slowpoke's tail. Cynthia took a bite and immediately said that it tasted just like the one she often ate. So, with the carrot problem solved, making Slowpoke Noodles was no longer an issue. Heath then started making soft-boiled eggs. Under Cynthia's curious gaze, Heath used the thermometer that Cynthia had given her. Actually, it wasn't necessary, since Heath was very experienced in making soft-boiled eggs. Of course, using it now didn't cause any problems.

"Delicious!" Cynthia laughed happily. Seeing her silly look, Hiss couldn't help but smile as well. Cynthia, oh Cynthia, she's really easy to understand. And Hiss thought that no matter what he made, as long as it was made by him, Cynthia would probably think it was delicious.

"Hmm?" Just as Cynthia was eating, dark clouds suddenly gathered outside, followed by a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, and then a heavy rain began to fall.

"The weather today is really strange." Heath remembered that it was sunny and cloudless in the afternoon, but he didn't expect the weather to change so quickly, and a strong wind even picked up. It was practically a downpour.

Just as Heath was busy closing the windows, there was a knock on the door of his food cart.

"?" Heath paused for a moment. He glanced at his phone. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and he had parked his car after leaving the exhibition. There was a "Closed" sign hanging at the door. So who would be so bored as to come knocking on his door under these circumstances? Heath was a little confused.

However, Heath still went over. It was hard to say what kind of people were stuck there because they didn't have umbrellas. This kind of situation had happened before, especially when the rain came suddenly. There would always be people standing at the door to take shelter from the rain, and some would even come in to eat something and take shelter from the rain at the same time. Although Heath felt that taking shelter from the rain was their main purpose, it could also increase Heath's food truck income.

"Sorry, we're closed for the day." Heath opened the door and saw a blue-haired man standing in the pouring rain looking at him. The man was very tall, probably almost 1.9 meters, but his expression was not good; he was angry, as if Heath owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Heath?" Upon seeing Heath, the man took a deep breath, his expression softening slightly, and then asked softly.

"Yes, I am Heath." Heath looked at the man with a puzzled expression. If Heath had seen such a tall man before, he should have some impression of him, but he did not remember seeing a man so tall with such a unique hair color.

Kyogre gave a forced smile. After getting the human's contact information and address from Dialga, he came here on his own, originally intending to confront him. However, the moment he saw Hiss, Kyogre's anger vanished, and he even felt a little aggrieved.

If you had told me earlier that you had this person standing behind you, he wouldn't have dared to come and confront you!

It's just a kettle, you can just take it if you want...

God knows what he saw when he saw Heath, how terrifying that towering figure behind Heath, radiating endless light, was...

It's enough to give you goosebumps.

"Huh?" Heath looked at the man strangely. What was with that look in the man's eyes? Just a moment ago he looked like he owed someone a lot of money, but now he had the expression of a resentful woman. It made Heath feel a little uncomfortable. He touched his arm. What was this guy thinking? Could he be gay? No way?

Chapter 774 Kyogre's Craving for Mountain Delicacies

"Um... so you came to see me because you need something?" Heath looked at the man in front of him with a strange expression. He really couldn't understand why the other man was looking at him with such an expression. Moreover, Cynthia was also beside him. She was curiously looking at him and the man in front of her, seemingly very curious about why her boyfriend was being looked at with such a mournful look by a man. Cynthia had seen this look before. In some long, melodramatic TV dramas, some female supporting characters would look at the male protagonist who loved but could not get him with that look. However, Cynthia felt that her boyfriend was probably not gay, after all, Heath didn't really like working out.

There's a saying in the Pokémon fitness world: "The end of fitness is being gay." While not every man who works out will actually become gay, it's undeniable that a small percentage of men do. Of course, it's also possible that some men who are already gay come to the gym looking for attractive partners. After a few cases, many people have started associating fitness with gayness. It's unclear how these people made that connection, but that's how it happened.

It's like when many people mention people from the Alola region, they think that people from the Alola region are very open-minded and like to go swimming after meals every day. But in reality, real Alola people are no different from ordinary people. It's just that their skin color is a bit unique due to regional differences. But people's stereotypes are like that and they can't be changed.

Of course, there are also some people who were not originally gay, but were forced to become gay.

In an interview video from back then, a gay man of considerable age revealed why he became gay.

"He offered so much, 350,000 a month, I just couldn't refuse." Well, you can imagine how tempting money is.

Kyogre glanced at Heath's restaurant and immediately spotted his own watering can, sitting quietly on a counter. It seemed Heath still cared about the watering can, which cheered Kyogre up a bit. From now on, the watering can wouldn't belong to Kyogre anymore; it would belong to Heath.

Heath noticed Kyogre's gaze and saw the newly acquired watering can. Heath intended to use it to water the Nightmare Flower, but before he could use it, the man showed up. However, Heath then noticed something amiss. The man appeared later and looked at him with a very mournful gaze. Most importantly, the man's attention was focused on the newly acquired watering can. In this situation, having ruled out all impossibilities, the truth, however outrageous, was still the truth.

“Um… Mr. Kyogre?” Heath looked at the man in front of him and asked hesitantly. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten where he got his watering can from. It was from Kyogre, so there was a high chance that the man in front of him was Kyogre. If so, it would explain why the other man was looking at him with such eyes.

"...Sigh, give me something to eat. I don't want anything from the sea, anything else is fine." Kyogre was silent for a long time, then sighed and sat down. Hiss didn't try to drive him away, after all, he felt bad. After all, the watering can had previously belonged to Kyogre. However, it was impossible for Hiss to return the watering can to Kyogre. Hiss still needed it. It should be useful for Nightmare Flowers, and then Hiss would be able to grow Nightmare Flowers. Just thinking about it was quite exciting.

“Okay.” Hiss nodded. However, the request that Kyogre not eat seafood was as good as no request at all. Hiss thought that the reason Kyogre didn’t want to eat seafood was probably because Kyogre had lived in the sea before and was tired of it. When he came to land, he naturally wanted to change his taste.

"This is a legendary Pokémon." Hiss looked at the torrential rain outside the window and couldn't help but lick his lips. Kyogre must have toned it down a bit, otherwise the Kanto region would probably be shrouded in rain clouds tonight.

Unlike the legendary Pokémon in games, which are merely higher base stats and have more unique moves, real-world legendary Pokémon can actually kill people and possess immense power. Kyogre brought about super rain, and if it were Primal Revert Kyogre, Seath couldn't even imagine what kind of disaster it would cause.

However, Heath wasn't thinking about these issues right now. He was focused on dealing with what he was doing. Today, he planned to serve Kyogre a very ordinary porcini mushroom and ham risotto, which tasted quite good. It was also fine to eat just rice, since there were quite a few side dishes. However, Heath also made Kyogre a stir-fried wild mushroom dish, since when it comes to delicacies from the mountains, wild mushrooms are something you can't avoid.

The ham Heath bought was also quite interesting. The ham in this world tended to be more like foreign ham, which looked very appealing and tasted pretty good. The way to tell if a ham was cured properly was to poke it with a needle and then smell it.

However, Heath wouldn't smell it. Although he was a chef, there were things chefs didn't understand.

So soon, a plate of porcini mushroom risotto and a plate of stir-fried wild mushrooms were served to Gyokka. This was made by Heath according to Gyokka's taste, and the taste should be quite good.

As Georka looked at the delicious food in front of him, his nose twitched. The aroma of the food offered some solace to the old man who had lost his cherished possession.

However, Kyogre paused for a moment, looking at the second person in the room, a woman. Kyogre could only tell the gender; legendary Pokémon generally don't bother to distinguish human faces unless they see them often or find them pleasing to the eye.

"...Do you have something on you?" Kyogre asked, squinting at Cynthia. Cynthia paused, then looked at her girlfriend, who also looked confused. She clearly couldn't understand why Kyogre would ask her that; she didn't know this man.

Chapter 775 Kyogre's Lungs (Fake)

“The red thing,” Kyogre added calmly. He glanced at Hiss again; the great being behind Hiss couldn't possibly be unaware of this, but since that being hadn't reacted, it meant it wasn't a big deal…

But if you think about it carefully, your own affairs probably aren't a big deal in the face of that great being, right?

"Huh? You mean this?" Hearing Kyogre's words, Cynthia obviously thought of something. She took out a ring from her pocket. Hiss's eyelids twitched, and then he saw that it was a ring that looked like a ruby ​​ring. However, although the setting on it was also red, it was not a gemstone, but an irregular stone, which was firmly fixed and looked somewhat worn. He didn't know what this thing was. But then Hiss thought of something else, which was something about Kyogre.

Kyogre, the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, is on par with Groudon, though it's overshadowed by Rayquaza. In the game's storyline, to awaken Kyogre from its slumber, a blue orb is needed, allowing Kyogre to revert to its Primal form. However, Sheath vaguely remembers using a red orb to awaken Kyogre? Sheath doesn't remember clearly, as it was a long time ago, and she doesn't have a strong recollection. Anyway, the color of the orb does remind Sheath of past game events. Looking at Kyogre's expression, Sheath thinks that perhaps this orb truly holds some special meaning for Kyogre.

“Yes.” Kyogre’s eyes narrowed. He could sense a restless power emanating from this thing, seemingly containing the power of the earth. However, this reminded Kyogre of Groudon, that lunatic, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, Kyogre and Groudon didn’t get along well, in fact, their relationship was terrible. Kyogre didn’t like Groudon, and of course, Groudon had its own opinions about Kyogre. Fortunately, they rarely met, and even if they encountered each other online, they would pretend not to see each other. But now, he saw something that was somewhat related to Groudon, or rather, something that might be of some help to Groudon.

"Oh, this is a gift from my grandmother when I was in the Sinnoh region. I found it in a ruin. Is there a problem?" Cynthia obviously didn't recognize that the man in front of her was not an ordinary person, but the legendary Pokémon Kyogre from the Hoenn region.

This is normal, after all, when these mythical beasts are actually human, it is indeed difficult to tell their identities. Heath only recognized the man in front of him as the mythical beast Kyogre by the time he arrived and the expression on the man's face when he looked at the watering can.

Hearing this, Heath breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was a gift from his grandmother, not from some other man. Heath had been really worried that the ring was a gift from someone else, but now he felt much more at ease.

"It's nothing." Kyogre didn't say anything. As long as it's not Hoenn, it's fine. If it were Hoenn, this thing might cause Groudon, that idiot, to revert to its old form, which would be troublesome. Although humans have improved a lot in strength, they still can't beat Groudon. But these humans can invite Rayquaza!

The thought of Rayquaza having to fly out of the ozone layer because of Groudon's mess made Kyogre feel much better. Maybe he should give the rock to Groudon.

Hiss, however, was focused on something else entirely. He was curious about why such a thing could be found in the Sinnoh region. Hess had assumed that Cynthia had bought it in the Hoenn region.
