I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

There aren't many things that can interest a legendary Pokémon, and the combination of Kyogre and this red-looking thing only makes Seath think of things like orbs, or Primal Reversion, etc. However, seeing the strange expression on Kyogre's face, Seath didn't pay any more attention to it. Judging from Kyogre's expression, it probably wasn't anything particularly important, so Seath waited patiently for Kyogre to finish eating.

Sure enough, after Kyogre finished eating, he left a fish and left. Hiss looked a little strange. It was the first time he had ever seen someone pay the bill with a fish. But since it was Kyogre, everything became normal and there was nothing to be surprised about.

[You entertained Kyogre, and you received Kyogre's lungs (fake)]

Seath gasped. Good heavens, what the hell is this lung? Is it some kind of cut-up piece of Kyogre's lungs? Although Seath was indeed very curious about what legendary Pokémon tasted like, that didn't mean Seath actually intended to eat them, and growing Kyogre's lungs himself wouldn't be very appropriate!

But then Heath pulled something out of his pocket that looked like a straw, but it wasn't quite a straw; it looked more like a diving mask.

[Kyogre's Lungs (Fake): Wearing this device grants the ability to breathe normally underwater without worrying about any underwater respiratory illnesses.]

Heath touched his nose. Oh well, so this is what it is. It doesn't matter then.

This thing is both good and useless, since Heath already has the Adaptation Potion and doesn't need it to breathe underwater. But maybe he could give it to someone else? Heath vaguely remembered that after Ash embarked on his journey, somewhere in Kanto he would encounter a giant Tentacruel attack? Heath's memory wasn't very clear, as it was a very long time ago, and Heath's own memory wasn't very clear either.

So maybe this thing can be used by other people?

"Huh? The rain has stopped." Cynthia's voice woke Hiss up. Hiss glanced out the car window and, sure enough, the torrential rain that had seemed like it would last until tomorrow morning had stopped silently, without any sound. Hiss rubbed his nose. As expected of Kyogre, it always brought a downpour, unlike other legendary Pokémon, which usually arrive without making a sound. He wondered if it was because Kyogre didn't go out much.

There is a certain possibility.

However, Heath immediately pulled out the food identification device, intending to see what was going on with Cynthia's ring.

Chapter 776: Appeared Suddenly?

[The red stone used in the ritual (incomplete) is poisonous and inedible. It is a rare stone used by the people of the Sinnoh region in ancient times to worship the king. It contains some poisonous minerals, but due to the passage of time, the toxicity has been greatly reduced. It will not cause any poisoning if not eaten directly. Because it was used to worship the king, it contains a large amount of the king's energy.]

Hiss paused for a moment. Hess really did know about the ancient times of the Sinnoh region. He used to control a girl to save the world in that world, and then he had to use positioning and throw treasures to deal with those King Pokémon. It has to be said that the physical abilities of people in ancient times were really incomparable to those of today. Back then, Hiss would directly use a Super Heavy Ball to sneak up and smash the back of a Pokémon's head. Hiss turned a Pokémon game into an Assassin's Creed game, which was quite extraordinary.

Among these, King is the special Pokémon that left the deepest impression on Herth. King's size is generally larger than that of ordinary Pokémon, which seems to be somewhat similar to Totem Pokémon. However, King is glowing all over, and King in its golden state is very dangerous. This stone has collected the energy of those Kings, so it's no wonder that Kyogre is so concerned about it. After all, this is something from ancient times, and it's possible that it can even allow Kyogre to enter Primal Reversion state.

That's Primal Reversion! Kyogre's ability will then become Primal Sea, which is incredibly powerful.

"What's wrong? This was given to me by my grandmother. But I have another one, also given to me by my grandmother. It's said that it's a golden stone that was dug out from the same ruins. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Cynthia misunderstood something, but Heath really wanted the stone. After all, the stone contained the king's energy. Although that era had passed, Heath hadn't forgotten that wonderful time. Those former doctors and comrades were probably all turned to dust by now, right? But Heath still wanted to keep something.

This was the first time Heath had felt the passage of time. He still remembered Dr. Raben's kind smile when they played the game, but he never expected that the other person had already passed away.

“Alright, I am indeed quite interested in these kinds of stones.” Hiss gave a gentle smile. Cynthia looked at Hiss, her face flushing slightly. But then Cynthia thought of something else, such as a friend she made after becoming the Champion, whose name was Steven. Steven was the Champion of the Hoenn region, and he loved stones very much. He collected all kinds of stones every day and often went into caves to look for them, which made Cynthia both amused and exasperated. The League often had a lot of complaints about Champion Steven going off to dig for stones, but there was nothing they could do about it.

After all, the title of champion carries too much weight, and the next champion cannot be chosen through connections; they must pass the test of the Four Heavenly Kings before they can be called champions.

This made Cynthia a little worried. Would her boyfriend also go and collect all sorts of stones? But she felt the probability was not very high. After all, Hiss had never had any hobbies in this area before. Hiss spent most of his time busy with his food truck. Although it was a busy job, Cynthia knew that there weren't many perfect jobs in the world. Just like the Champion, although he had a prestigious position, he also had a lot to do every day. After she came here today, she would probably have to go back to the Sinnoh region tomorrow. Thinking about it carefully, it was still a rather sad thing.

“…Well, I just remembered, today is Valentine’s Day…How about you…” Heath looked at Cynthia a little embarrassedly. Cynthia blushed and then directly refused. Then, Cynthia ran out as if fleeing and disappeared into the night in an instant. Heath touched his nose. He hadn’t even finished speaking. He had originally planned to sleep on the sofa and let Cynthia sleep at his place, but thinking about it carefully, that didn’t seem like a good idea. No wonder Cynthia glared at him. Thinking about it now, it was indeed his fault.

"Oh~ the trainer's got ulterior motives~" Zoroark had a knowing look on his face. Hiss's lips twitched, and then he lay down on his bed.

However, Heath originally planned to take a nap and then enter meditation mode, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep while dozing off.

……

The next morning, Heath got out of bed, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and checked his phone. It was only 5 a.m., still dark, but that was the time Heath wanted. He had entertained a lot of guests the day before, so his food supplies were running low, and he needed to replenish them now, otherwise they wouldn't last. However, Heath hadn't decided which market to go to. The market he'd been to before was decent, but it wasn't quite what he was looking for. He wanted to see a more authentic market, ask about Golden City's specialty ingredients, and then complete his achievement quest.

Heath turned around to pick up Zoroark, but found that Zoroark was nowhere to be seen, not even Farfetch'd. This left Heath stunned. He stood up in a daze, put on his clothes, and then rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door.

Then Heath saw his Pokémon gathered together looking at something, and Mew's pink figure stood out very much.

"What are you doing here?" Heath yawned again. Without meditation, he was prone to feeling sleepy after waking up, regardless of how long he had slept. Often, he would wash his face with cold water to refresh himself.

"Trainer! Good morning!" Zoroark chuckled. Hiss also noticed the thing they were gathered around, and it looked somewhat familiar.

"? Lugia?" Heath was a little confused, and even rubbed his eyes. He wondered if he hadn't slept enough and was hallucinating. But after rubbing his eyes, what appeared in front of Heath was still a Lugia, and a small Lugia at that. It didn't look very big and looked like it was an adult.

However, judging from its appearance, it is about the same size as the little Dark Lugia that Hiss had seen before.

Chapter 777 Lugia's Ambition

"How did this little guy get here?" Heath glanced at the little Lugia in front of him. He was now quite certain that this little guy was the same one he had met in Lavender Town. After meeting this little guy, Heath had asked Ho-Oh to help contact its parents and return it to them. Heath had also chatted with the little guy and treated it to a meal. Last time in Vermilion City, Heath had asked Lugia to catch some Silverfish for him, which made completing the Vermilion City mission much easier. If he hadn't completed those missions, Heath felt that he would still be having a headache about how to find Silverfish in the Kanto region.

"I don't know, we were woken up by Mew. Mew said it saw this little guy when it came in." Zoroark pointed at Mew, and Mew nodded. Heath's lips twitched. Good heavens, really good heavens. Heath hadn't expected that his food truck would be so unguarded against Mew, let alone Lugia. What was this? Was his food truck a place where legendary Pokémon could come and go as they pleased? However, Heath wasn't really angry. After all, Heath knew Lugia well; it was well-behaved and cute, so Heath naturally didn't mind letting it come to his house.

At that moment, Lugia noticed Heath. It stood up from the ground, flapped its wings twice, and then Heath's living room was in chaos. The howling wind blew the novels and comics that Zoroark had bought all over the place. Watching the flustered Zoroark frantically searching through her books, Heath couldn't help but chuckle. As expected of a legendary Pokémon, even in its baby form, its strength was already formidable.

"Uncle Heath!" A childish voice rang out. Heath gasped. Good heavens, I'm not your uncle, and I wouldn't dare to be your uncle!

Being the uncle of a legendary Pokémon? Is he tired of living? Although he knows that Pokémon like Lugia actually have their own species, and the ones caught in the games are usually the strongest ones, legendary Pokémon are legendary Pokémon after all. They have long lifespans and are powerful enough. Heath wouldn't dare to take in a nephew or niece like Lugia whose gender is unknown.

"Ahem... Little Lugia, how come you came here all by yourself?" Lugia is a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, so it's perfectly normal for it to be able to use telepathy. However, Heath couldn't quite understand why Little Lugia would come here, and he had just looked around and didn't see the other two Lugia. So this little guy must have come here all by himself.

"Uncle Heath! Mom and Dad are really..." Then comes the story of a brat complaining about his parents' strict discipline and running away from home in a huff. Heath felt that this routine was very familiar. After thinking about it, Heath realized that Nobita often did the same thing when he watched Doraemon. It was a standard plot, especially at the beginning of the movie, which was similar to a certain famous detective who gets hit on the head many times every year.

Heath listened patiently. After all, he had been a child once, and he knew that children's thoughts were different from others. Sometimes, things that adults thought were nothing, children cared a lot about. For example, if parents said they would take their children out to eat and then suddenly didn't, children would have some thoughts about it. Similarly, if they promised a reward for a certain ranking in an exam and couldn't keep their promise, their parents' credibility would be greatly damaged, which could be considered a case of losing more than they gain.

Although Lugia is a legendary Pokémon, legendary Pokémon are still children after all, so it's perfectly normal for it to run away from home like this, a common occurrence in modern families. Heath even suspected that the last time little Lugia was kidnapped and turned into Dark Lugia, it might also be related to running away from home. Fortunately, this time the little guy has come to his place, so there's no need to worry about its safety.

"Hmm, I see. Little Lugia has really suffered." Heath listened patiently, then casually instructed his Pokémon to go wash up first, while he listened to the conversation.

It has to be said that dealing with children is very troublesome, otherwise there wouldn't be a profession like preschool teacher. It can be said that many of the behaviors and thoughts of children are completely different from those of adults. If you try to apply adult thinking to them, it will often lead to problems. So how to deal with children is a very skillful thing. Although Heath is not an expert in that area, he is a person with a little experience. When Heath opened his restaurant, the children in the neighborhood became familiar with him and often came to him to complain. This allowed Heath to understand some of the children's thoughts.

In this situation, directly contacting Lugia's parents is unlikely to work. The simplest way to deal with such a runaway child is to let them suffer a bit. Once they understand that it's better to stay at home, they won't dare to run away again. At that point, dealing with these matters will become much easier and less complicated.

Isn't that how Nobita is? Kids usually don't run away from home for too long.

"Yes, yes!" Little Lugia looked very happy to receive the approval, though the face of a legendary Pokémon...

"So, little Lugia, why did you come here?" Heath asked again, looking at little Lugia. He needed to get to the bottom of this. Although he thought Lugia probably just wanted to hide here for a few days, knowing his purpose would make it easier to explain to Lugia's parents later.

Yes, Heath would naturally have to inform Lugia's parents. Although he couldn't let them come and pick him up directly, he at least needed to let them know that their child was with Heath. You wouldn't want that, madam...

No, something's not right here. Heath shook his head. He just didn't want Lugia's parents to worry too much, as that wouldn't be good. Besides, once they knew, Lugia's parents would probably be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's like this, Uncle Heath, my parents said you're a good person, so I want to be your Pokémon! And then we can compete for the championship together!" Little Lugia patted its chest and said loudly, almost making Heath choke on its own saliva.

Charizard immediately poked its head out, excitedly looking at Lugia. This little guy has ideas! He even has ambition! That's great!

Chapter 778 Ralts's Scarf

Heath rubbed his face. Goodness, Heath exclaimed. He really hadn't expected Lugia to have such unique ideas after coming to his place. But the problem was, he didn't really want to be the champion. Otherwise, Heath wouldn't have any reason to be a chef and run his own food truck. It's just that everyone's dreams are different. Heath's dream was to serve every customer and see their happy and satisfied expressions. So even now, even though Heath had become a very powerful trainer, he had no intention of challenging the gyms. Putting aside everything else, just a Farfetch'd was enough to make those people's scalps tingle.

"Um... Lugia, I'm not a trainer who wants to be a champion." Heath looked helplessly at the little guy in front of him. But to be fair, Lugia is really good-looking. Maybe it's because most animal cubs are cute, but Lugia is also very good-looking. It has an unexpected beauty that makes you want to pat its little head.

"Huh? But Mom said a lot of humans want to be the strongest champion!" Little Lugia looked completely dazed. Heath's lips twitched. He was now certain that Little Lugia was the kind of adorable little guy who would be sold out and still help count the money. Heath was both amused and exasperated.

“Everyone has different ideas. Some people pursue… well, like you, Lugia, chose to come here thinking you’d become the champion. But look at Mew, isn’t it just happily playing games every day, touching… sightseeing, and stuff like that?” Heath explained with a chuckle. However, considering Lugia’s age and mental development, Heath used a more easily understandable approach, again using Mew as an example. But seeing Mew reminded Heath of the little guy’s idle lifestyle. Although he didn’t know what kind of Pokémon Lugia’s parents planned to raise, an idle Lugia was probably not going to work. Heath didn’t want to get scolded by Lugia’s parents; that would be incredibly frustrating.

However, seeing Lugia's adorable, blank expression, Heath knew his words had been in vain. But that was normal; after all, Lugia was still quite young. Expecting Lugia to suddenly understand everything and be willing to do everything was impossible. Even children need time to grow up. So Heath changed the subject and started teaching Lugia how to brush its teeth. Lugia was indeed very interested in these things. Seeing its excited expression, Heath breathed a sigh of relief and then took out his phone to check.

"...These parents are really carefree, or do they trust me a lot?" Heath scratched his head. Lugia's parents had replied, inviting Lugia to stay with Heath for a few days. They also said they would definitely prepare a thank-you gift, which made Heath unable to refuse. After all, the vast ocean was just too big, and who knew how many rare treasures were hidden there. Although Heath wasn't particularly interested in treasures, there were some excellent ingredients in the ocean that he was quite interested in, such as Kanto silverfish, which was perfect as a snack with drinks and tasted superb.

Watching Lugia brushing its teeth under Zoroark's guidance, Heath sighed. There was nothing she could do but add another Mew to the mix.

Having temporarily resolved Lugia's issue, Hiss carried Ralts to the driver's seat. While washing up, Ralts had told Hiss she wanted to see how their house moved, so Hiss naturally didn't refuse and carried her over. Upon arriving at the place, Ralts was very curious about everything before her. She even suggested wanting to see the engine, but Hiss refused, as he himself didn't know where the engine was, and whether the food truck given by his cheat code even had an engine was a question worth exploring.

Ralts wasn't upset, because she was standing awkwardly in front of Hiss, who pretended not to see her. After all, when Ralts came in, Hiss had noticed something big behind her. Hess immediately recognized it as the towel Ralts had woven for her, but he pretended not to know.

"What's wrong, Ralts?" Hiss rubbed Ralts's little head. He had to admit that Ralts's head felt pretty good to the touch, with a subtle feeling, just like a plush toy.

"Here you go, Hiss!" Ralts finally mustered her courage and held up what she was holding. Hiss saw it clearly; it was a scarf. But to Hiss's surprise, this scarf was far superior to the previous one. It was beautiful to look at, and the workmanship was excellent. Hiss took it; it was indeed a very nice scarf. It seemed that little Ralts was really serious, diligently helping Hiss with his tasks. Hiss rubbed his nose. This little one was really…

"Thank you, Ralts." Hiss happily ruffled Ralts's hair, and Ralts smiled joyfully. To her, Hiss, the one who rescued her from darkness, was the person she trusted most, and she could also feel the kindness in her heart as a trainer.

Although it's spring now, and the temperature hasn't been too bad these past few days, Hiss was still very happy to receive Ralts's gift. Hiss understood the saying, "It's the thought that counts, not the gift."

And what's wrong with spring? There's always a cold snap in spring, right? When that happens, this scarf will come in handy.

Heath glanced at her phone, but unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating; it had been very hot these past few days, so Heath had no choice but to put the scarf away for now.

After resolving this matter, Heath set the location for his food truck. This time, he was going to a vegetable market he had asked about yesterday. This market was located in a more remote area and was an old-fashioned one. Heath planned to come here to see if there were any special ingredients that could help him complete his mission in Golden City. However, Heath was also in a hurry because he also needed to set up a stall at the Golden City Technology Exhibition to earn money.

Chapter 779 Paris Syndrome

Heath had been to the Goldenrod City market once before, but that time it was the largest market in Goldenrod City, and it featured a signature work by a master designer. It has to be said that Goldenrod City is quite interesting. Just the fact that only masters in the design world are qualified to build their signature works in designated areas of Goldenrod City has made Goldenrod City famous. However, the initial publicity was inevitable. After all, if any random city advertised that only masters could sign their works, it would be a question whether people would believe it. They didn't want to be laughed at before the masters even arrived.

Heath knew nothing about the history of Golden City, since he had no interest in studying the history books of this world. However, Heath thought that the first mayor of Golden City must be a very interesting story.

"Old Wu! Old Wu!" A voice suddenly rang out, and Heath was taken aback because the voice sounded just like the meow of a cat that Heath had heard before. However, Heath did not keep any cats in his dining car. The only creature that might resemble a cat in some way was Zoroark, but foxes are actually canines.

But then Heath suddenly slapped his forehead. He remembered that he actually had a cat here, the little red one that had fallen into a deep sleep a while ago. The cat had been sleeping and hadn't eaten much. But Heath knew that this little guy was special, so he wasn't worried. Otherwise, if a normal cat didn't eat for several days, it would have to be taken to the vet for a checkup.

Heath turned his head and saw Little Red, who was calling out "Old Wu, Old Wu." Although Heath knew it sounded like "Awoo Awoo," there was nothing he could do; it really did sound like Old Wu.

"Little Red, are you awake? Would you like something to eat?" Hiss asked, looking at Little Red. Hiss couldn't understand the cat's words, and for some reason, he could communicate with other Zoroarks and others, but not with Little Red. However, Hiss then remembered that Little Red wasn't his Pokémon, so it was no wonder it couldn't understand him.

But cats, generally speaking, usually meow for a few reasons: they're hungry and want to eat, the litter box is full and needs cleaning, or they're simply meowing to play with their companions. Of course, there are also more special cases, such as springtime. This situation can usually be solved by neutering the cat. But Little Red definitely doesn't have that need, so Heath thinks that what Little Red needs is food, since it has been hungry for a long time.

Little Red nodded under Hiss's gaze. Ralts, who was being held by Hiss, looked at Little Red curiously. It was the first time she had ever seen such a strange cat. It was clearly a cat, but it looked like gas. Ralts could also feel the cat's strong displeasure and depression, which made Ralts a little angry. She waved her little fists, but then, remembering that Hiss was still holding her, Ralts glared at Little Red angrily, and then secretly used her psychic powers to create a needle and poke Little Red's cat butt.

It hit the mark, but it didn't work. Little Red didn't seem to feel anything at all, and even showed a mocking smile. Ralts' face turned into a little bun with anger.

Heath had no idea what Ralts was doing. He was diligently preparing food for Little Red, but since Heath was about to go to the market to buy groceries, he decided to keep it simple.

So here's the problem: Little Red is a cat, but this cat is different from ordinary cats. Heath can't possibly take out cat food and feed it to Little Red, can he? That would be too outrageous, and Little Red would definitely have a big problem with it.

So Heath finally decided to cook a proper meal for Little Red, and he made a very ordinary dish—fried rice with eggs.

Fried rice is a very common and ordinary food, and it doesn't seem to have anything special about it. In fact, many food novels will make fried rice the first dish the protagonist cooks. But Heath thinks that if he were to write a food novel, the first dish the protagonist would definitely make would be soy sauce rice. After all, fried rice can be divided into ordinary and advanced versions, while soy sauce rice is simple. Cold rice with soy sauce and chili oil makes a pretty good late-night snack.

However, for Heath, making fried rice was no different from making rice with soy sauce, so Heath quickly made a plate of fried rice and served it to Little Red. At this time, the food cart stopped, and Heath went out with Farfetch'd and Ralts.

Charizard doesn't go outside; it prefers to exercise. Snorlax likes to sleep and sing. As for Zoroark? She usually chooses this time to play her own games.

Ralts, on the other hand, loves to stick close to Hiss, and seems to go wherever Hiss goes.

As soon as Heath got out of the car, he saw a farmers' market that felt very familiar to him. It wasn't that the market designed by that master was bad; in fact, it was very well designed. But it was just too good that it was different from the farmers' market Heath had imagined. That market was bright and clean, with abundant resources, and it was as tidy as a supermarket. But the farmers' market in front of him had floors that bore witness to its history.

"Phew... the aroma of vegetables and meat..." Heath stretched and walked into the market, browsing around curiously while replenishing some of the ingredients he had used yesterday. Beef was also necessary, although Heath knew that it would be cheaper to buy a whole cow directly from the meat wholesale market. However, Heath was too lazy to go there at the moment and decided to splurge a little.

The beef here is quite interesting, with many varieties. However, the most expensive is beef from yellow cattle. This is very ordinary beef, which was common in my previous life, but it has become expensive in this world. The reason is simple: scarcity makes things valuable.

A cow is very valuable.

However, looking at the Tauros beef next to him, Heath glanced at it and walked around it. The world of Pokémon is very realistic, so realistic that it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Just like the term invented in a previous life, the Paris Syndrome.

Paris Syndrome refers to the psychological discomfort experienced by many people from an island nation in their past life who yearned for the freedom and civilization of Paris, only to find upon arrival that the place was vastly different from what they had imagined, resulting in a significant psychological gap.

Chapter 780 The Sensation Brought by Lugia
