"Because Ralts helped me," Hiss said with a smile, taking the money Giovanni gave him and putting it in his cash box.
Giovanni glanced at Ralts, who was skipping and hopping towards Hiss's lounge, and then praised her a few times before leaving. Giovanni seemed to be having a very relaxed day, but it was unclear what he was planning to do in Saffron City.
After Sakaki left, Hiss's food truck became lively, and Hiss didn't have time to think about anything else. Just dealing with these customers was enough to keep him occupied for a long time. By the time Hiss finally closed the door, the technology exhibition was over. Even so, Hiss still had to clean up and sort the dishes. Fortunately, there were Zoroark and the Alliance staff, otherwise Hiss would have been busy for who knows how long.
Looking at the dishwasher quietly washing dishes in the kitchen, a hint of curiosity flashed in Heath's eyes. After upgrading, Heath's food cart now included a dishwasher. At first, Heath wasn't keen on using it, since he felt that washing dishes himself was better than using a dishwasher, and that it would get them cleaner. However, after using it a few times, Heath discovered that this thing was much more useful. It washed dishes very well and was also very water-saving, making it a real gem. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a place to buy it. Heath thought it might be a special version of the dishwasher that his cheat code had given him.
"Phew... all the guests have been served, but this reward hasn't been unlocked yet. Could it be that the guests haven't all come yet?" Heath was a little confused, but then a possibility occurred to him... could it be...
Your hospitality today...
Fortunately, at that moment, Heath saw the system notification. He breathed a sigh of relief and then selected the quality reward, which resulted in a bottle of hair growth tonic. According to the system, any bald man could regain a full head of hair after using this product. This made Heath both laugh and cry, but he had to admit that the product was indeed very valuable.
It's common knowledge that some businesses think men spend money worse than dogs, but in reality, bald men can spend quite a bit, especially without any effective solutions. If Heath's product could be mass-produced, it wouldn't be a problem for Heath to be on the rich list. There are countless people around the world suffering from baldness, and it's not just a problem for men; women can have it too.
“But it would be better if you could give me something else.” Heath shook his head and then put the bottle of hair growth tonic away.
Now that business was over for the day, Heath planned to drive his food truck back to his stall to rest. So, after setting the autopilot to the desired location, Heath picked up his phone, lay on the sofa, and texted his girlfriend.
[Cynthia: Team Galactic has been causing trouble again lately, what a nuisance]
When Heath opened his phone, he saw his girlfriend complaining to him, which was quite rare. Heath thought of Cynthia and couldn't help but smile. But Team Galactic, huh?
Heath remembered that Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region was a good team back in the Green Era, and he didn't know how they had changed.
Chapter 798 A Shadow in the Dead of Night
Heath opened his eyes in confusion. He had just been meditating, preparing to rest until tomorrow, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door. This puzzled him. He glanced out the window; it was still dark, not even dawn yet. He wondered who was knocking. After checking his phone, Heath's face darkened further. Good heavens, it was only 3:30 AM, an hour before he was supposed to get up. He wondered which bastard was knocking on his door.
Heath dressed irritably and went straight to the driver's seat of the dining car. From there, Heath could see who was knocking on the door, since the dining car was also monitored. However, the system's monitoring system couldn't detect anything, and Heath rarely used it.
Although Heath was quite strong and capable, he still didn't plan to open the door directly. Who knew if the person knocking on the door late at night was a good or bad person? Heath didn't want to be stabbed in the back as soon as he opened the door; that would be too much of a loss.
Such incidents happen from time to time. Although the Pokémon world is relatively safe, Heath has seen news like this before, so he remains very vigilant.
However, after seeing the footage from the security camera, Heath was taken aback because he couldn't see who was knocking on the door. This puzzled him. But then again, the knocking stopped after Heath woke up and got dressed. Heath rewound the footage and finally saw the culprit—a bird whose appearance was unclear. The bird pecked at Heath's door several times before flying away. Heath was speechless; it turned out to be a bird. But this wasn't so strange, after all, there are all kinds of Pokémon in the world, and it's not impossible that some Pokémon like to peck at people's doors at night.
Heath had even seen Pokémon that would take home and raise human children they found.
These days, it's not too surprising to see all sorts of strange Pokémon. After all, there are so many Pokémon, and they all have different personalities, so it's perfectly normal for some Pokémon with odd personalities to appear.
"Sigh, I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck." Heath yawned, then rubbed his eyes sleepily. Although meditation could quickly replenish Heath's sleep and mental state, Heath was used to his daily meditation time. Now that his meditation was suddenly interrupted, it gave him a very bad feeling, just like not having slept well.
Thinking of this, Heath decided to go back to sleep for a while. However, just as he turned around and walked to the door of the lounge to open it, he paused. Then, puzzled, he turned his head and saw a black figure standing in his food cart. He couldn't tell who it was, but the figure was just standing in the middle of Heath's food cart, dark and giving off a creepy feeling. However, Heath didn't care. Although his food cart was not very resistant to Pokémon of legendary level, it could still hold its own against ordinary people. This was probably a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
As Heath turned on the light, he noticed that the figure that had just been there had suddenly vanished, disappearing abruptly. Heath realized something, turned off the light, and then the black figure reappeared, seemingly even closer to him.
Heath became intrigued. Wasn't this a scene often seen in horror movies? So Heath began his bold experiment, constantly turning the lights on and off. Then the black figure got closer and closer until it got stuck at the kitchen entrance and couldn't get in.
"Boring, not even as strong as Lugia." Heath curled his lip. Lugia could come in directly, but this guy couldn't, which proved that this guy wasn't strong enough. Even if he really was a demon, he was a weak one.
At this moment, with the help of a faint light, Heath could see more clearly. Standing in front of Heath was a black figure, which seemed to have no facial features.
Heath took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it in the shadows. Heath discovered that wherever the flashlight shone, that part of the figure was completely missing, but the parts not illuminated by the light remained the same.
“Interesting.” Heath stroked his chin. This scene was truly intriguing. Heath slowly took out his phone, turned on the video and photo functions, and just as he expected, the thing couldn't be seen when taking a picture. Thinking of this, Heath went back to his lounge and woke up Zoroark, who was still sleeping. At first, Zoroark was a little unhappy, after all, anyone would be unhappy to be woken up when they were sleeping soundly, but as Heath talked, Zoroark suddenly became interested. Then Heath and Zoroark sneaked out, and as soon as they got to the kitchen, Heath saw the dark figure. The other person still looked the same, but now a smaller dark figure appeared next to it, and the outline looked quite like Zoroark.
"Huh? This... there's a ghostly energy!" Zoroark's nose twitched, then it opened its mouth and began to roar endlessly. The two black shadows started to tremble and then disappeared after a moment. A small creature appeared in the air, whimpering in pain.
"Dreamlike?" Hiss recognized the Pokémon's identity, then turned on the light and stopped Zoroark's roar. Zoroark's roar was no ordinary roar, but a roar imbued with Dark-type power, so the Ghost-type Dreamlike was naturally unable to withstand it and immediately gave itself away.
However, seeing Misdreavus Sheath, one knows that this was definitely a prank by Misdreavus. Among the Ghost-type Pokémon, Misdreavus is known for its pranks, often scaring others and feeding on their fear. However, this Misdreavus somehow managed to sneak in and was stopped in the kitchen, so it failed to scare Sheath.
Heath looked at the whimpering little guy with a mix of amusement and exasperation, then raised an eyebrow in surprise, because under the light, Heath discovered that the little guy was actually a heterochromatic dreavus.
Chapter 799 Shiny Pokémon
Shiny Pokémon, also known as Shiny Pokémon, were a special individual that every player dreamed of in their previous life. Finding a Shiny Pokémon was a source of great joy, a symbol of good luck. However, Hiss knew that in this world, being Shiny wasn't necessarily a good thing. In most Pokémon groups, being Shiny was considered a sin, leading to rejection, contempt, bullying, and even expulsion from their own kind. Only some highly intelligent Pokémon species understood that being Shiny was simply a physical mutation causing their color to differ from ordinary Pokémon, and therefore didn't reject Shiny Pokémon. While Misdreavus were Ghost-type Pokémon and possessed some intelligence, Hiss didn't know their internal views on Shiny Pokémon.
So this little guy might have been kicked out.
"Why isn't it a captured Pokémon?" Zoroark curiously examined the Misdreavus in front of it, whose body was not very stable. After receiving Zoroark's malicious attack, Misdreavus's body was already very weak and needed to be sent to the Pokémon Center for treatment as soon as possible.
"Because if Misdreavus are captured, they won't need to come out and scare others, absorbing their fear to survive. For these little guys, their trainer's love is also a kind of food, and a better kind at that." Heath shrugged. This was what Professor Oak said, but Heath personally thought it was because the trainers would provide them with food. You know, the League has its own research institute for Ghost-type Pokémon, so they developed a kind of food that Ghost Pokémon could enjoy, so Ghost Pokémon wouldn't need to go out to forage, which was very convenient.
Therefore, this little guy venturing out to forage for food could not possibly be a captured Pokémon.
Heath frowned as he looked at the little guy in his arms. The little guy was too weak and looked like he was about to die. Heath couldn't hesitate any longer. He took out his Poké Ball and put Misdreavus into it. With the Poké Ball, Misdreavus could barely keep up with its last breath and not die immediately.
"Huh? Trainer, are you going to capture her?" Zoroark asked curiously. She knew that her trainer was a very demanding person, but this time Hiss had taken out a Poké Ball so decisively.
Heath tucked the Poké Ball into his waistband, then continued driving the food truck, glancing at Zoroark as he did so.
"Do you think I wanted this? It's all your fault. Your moves are too powerful. Misdreavus couldn't withstand them at all. If I didn't put it in its Poké Ball, it would have died in a heartbeat." Heath shook his head helplessly. It was his fault, really. Zoroark was clearly already very strong, although it didn't look like it. In fact, Heath would feed it candy from time to time, so Zoroark's strength was quite good. And Misdreavus looked like it was underdeveloped, so it wasn't surprising that it turned out like this.
The Pokémon Center is open even late at night, but only Nurse Joy in the emergency room is open. However, the emergency room is enough. When Heath handed the dying Misdreavus to Nurse Joy, Nurse Joy scolded Heath a few times. Fortunately, Heath quickly explained himself so that he wouldn't be branded as someone who abused Pokémon.
"The Misdreavus you caught was too weak, and it was attacked by a high-intensity Dark-type move. Thank goodness you put it in a Poké Ball, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Nurse Joy checked it over, then breathed a sigh of relief. Hiss's lips twitched; this was truly...
"I didn't know a dream monster would come and scare me at night, and I didn't even see her." Heath was helpless. This was a completely unwarranted disaster. He should have been meditating right now, but because of this little guy, Heath had to come here and didn't know how long he would have to wait.
"But she's a Shiny Misdreavus, so it's good that you caught her." Nurse Joy realized she had misunderstood Hiss, so she quickly comforted him. Hiss was a little amused and exasperated. To be honest, Hiss hadn't really decided who his next Pokémon would be, but because of this incident, he had to use a Poké Ball. Although Hiss could release it, it always felt a bit strange. Hiss couldn't explain why, but it just felt odd.
Although Misdreavus was seriously injured, fortunately she was a Ghost-type Pokémon, so the treatment was not complicated. Before long, the little guy reluctantly followed Nurse Joy out. When she saw Heath and Zoroark next to Heath, she showed a look of fear, indicating that she had just been beaten quite badly.
“This little guy seems to be resisting you.” As a medic at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy could naturally see that Misdreavus was resisting Seath. But after all, Seath had brought her to the Pokémon Center, and if Seath didn’t take care of her, the little guy wouldn’t be able to survive. So Nurse Joy felt that Seath probably didn’t mean any harm. Besides, Nurse Joy knew Seath; he was the hottest guy in the Kanto region right now, and he even had a legendary Pokémon like Lugia by his side. He couldn’t possibly be a bad person.
"After all, she was taught a lesson by my Pokémon before. But since she resists me so much, I should be able to release her, right?" Heath looked at the Misdreavus in front of him. He had never planned to catch a Misdreavus in the first place, so releasing her would be the best option.
"Release it?" Nurse Joy was a little surprised. Although this Misdreavus was somewhat resistant to Hiss, it was still a Shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon are very popular. Nurse Joy knew that many people put bounties on Shiny Pokémon, like a kind of collecting obsession. Even though Shiny Pokémon don't have any special abilities, people still like them. Maybe it's because the rarer they are, the more precious they are.
Heath nodded; he did indeed intend to release the animals.
However, perhaps because it overheard the conversation between Heath and Nurse Joy, the Misdreavus reacted instantly. It looked around and realized that it had indeed connected with a Poké Ball, which made the Misdreavus waver.
While Misdreavus is a Pokémon that enjoys playing pranks, her pranks are more about survival—if she can eat her fill and not have to worry about starving every day…
Chapter 800 A Troublesome Mission
"Hmm, release her. After all, this little guy might not even like being with me, right? So it's better to just let her go." Heath was very calm. In fact, that's what he thought too. After all, this was the first time the Dream Demon had seen him, and they hadn't gotten along very well. So Heath felt that he and the Dream Demon didn't really have any feelings for each other. Therefore, rather than forcibly subduing her and then slowly trying to build a relationship, Heath felt that it would be better to let the Dream Demon return to nature. That way, it might be better for the little guy like the Dream Demon.
Nurse Joy glanced at Misdreavus, then at Seath. She thought Seath was quite a rare character, after all, it was a Shiny Misdreavus. Even if Seath didn't want to catch it, it could sell it to someone else. Although the League prohibited the buying and selling of Pokémon, Nurse Joy knew that people always had many ways to circumvent these restrictions. The League's prohibitions were less about prohibition and more about limiting the behavior of honest people. They couldn't, and had no way to, limit the behavior of scoundrels, since others could always find loopholes in the League's rules and trade Pokémon—both parties would claim it was a gift, so what could be done?
Although the alliance is constantly being improved, it turns out that others can always find loopholes, which is very frustrating.
“You’re right, but this little guy looks a bit malnourished. If he goes out alone, he might encounter some danger.” Nurse Joy hesitated. If Heath hadn’t explained that this wasn’t her Pokémon, Nurse Joy would have suspected that Heath was abusing Misdreavus. After all, Misdreavus was too weak and lacked nutrition. It was obviously malnourished, which made Nurse Joy feel sorry for it. So, Nurse Joy added some extra nutritional supplements.
Heath scratched his head. If he hadn't encountered it, he wouldn't have bothered with it, but this drowsy demon...
“Miss Joy, perhaps you could adopt it?” Heath looked at Miss Joy in front of him. He really didn’t intend to tame the Dream Demon, and it wasn’t part of his plans. But if he gave it to Miss Joy, it might be a good option.
"Huh?" Nurse Joy looked surprised, and Misdreavus immediately rubbed against her. Life on the streets wasn't easy, and it was better to have someone to take care of her. Besides, compared to the fierce-looking Heath, Misdreavus felt that a trainer like Nurse Joy was more in line with her requirements, so she started acting cute. Heath was speechless. This guy really had a terrible personality.
Under Misdreavus's deliberate cuteness, Nurse Joy quickly gave in. Although she was Nurse Joy, she could still have her own Pokémon, so she adopted the poor little Misdreavus. Heath was quite happy about this, at least the problem was solved. After being adopted, Misdreavus sincerely apologized to Heath and thanked her. After all, if it weren't for Heath, she might have died, and Misdreavus understood this. However, she could sense that Heath didn't really care about her, which was why Misdreavus chose Nurse Joy.
"Yawn... I guess that's solved it, but my sleep time is gone too." Heath shook his head helplessly. He had originally planned to go back and meditate, but after what happened with the succubus, he figured it was time to get up. So, Heath yawned and went back to the dining car. Zoroark had all gone back to sleep by then. Heath shook his head, ignoring the sleeping little guys, and changed his clothes before going to the bathroom to wash up. Heath also set the menu, as he needed to replenish his ingredients for the day. The guests had been very enthusiastic yesterday, and there were a lot of people, which caused his ingredients to be consumed very quickly.
He needed to replenish his energy every day. He felt that once he was replenished, he would definitely take a few days off to properly recharge.
While making money is important, Heath isn't short of cash right now.
"Hiss... Good morning..." A familiar voice. Hiss didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Except for Ralts, which especially liked to call him that, the other Pokémon all called him Trainer. But Hiss didn't mind. He chuckled and ruffled Ralts's hair. It seemed that he had woken Ralts up when he came back. Otherwise, Ralts would still be sleeping at this time. It seemed that he would have to upgrade the soundproofing of the food truck next time.
"Good morning, Ralts... Here, your toothbrush and toothpaste." Hiss chuckled as he handed Ralts the toothbrush and toothpaste, then continued brushing his own teeth. He watched Ralts as he brushed, noticing that the little one seemed to really enjoy brushing her teeth. Hiss thought that perhaps when he taught her to brush her teeth, Ralts couldn't manage it, which was why she developed such a unique interest in it.
While Seath was brushing his teeth and washing his face, his other Pokémon were still sleeping. When Seath came out after brushing his teeth, he saw that Charizard had already gotten up and was exercising there. It was a little surprised to see Seath, but still greeted him.
Sheath didn't mind; Charizard was one of the earliest-waking Pokémon among hers.
Heath believes that if there were an award for the most disciplined Pokémon, Heath would definitely vote for Charizard without hesitation. Charizard is just too disciplined. Unless Charizard gets sick, it will never stop training.
"However, although business is booming, what should we do about the extinct Golden Chicken?" Heath felt a headache coming on. It has to be said that this is the most troublesome problem for Heath right now. The special products of Golden City are quite troublesome, making people's scalps tingle. Heath has not been able to think of any good solutions yet. Using Nightmare Flowers seems a bit wasteful, which makes Heath feel very troubled.
Heath scratched his head. He felt that the most reasonable and likely method at present was to find the fossil of the Golden Chicken and then revive it, but the possibility of this was too low.
After all, it's highly unlikely that the Golden Chicken has fossils. Even if it does, it's questionable whether the resurrected Golden Chicken will taste the same.
"Hopefully, future city achievements will be easier." Heath sighed and shook his head. The Golden Chicken issue was still troubling Heath; it was probably the most difficult task he had ever undertaken.
Chapter 801: Why is it another diary entry?
Although Heath felt mentally exhausted, she still had to do what she was supposed to do. This was the helplessness of adulthood. Even when faced with very upsetting things, she still had to do what she was supposed to do and go to work, unless her boss was understanding and willing to give her a vacation. Otherwise, she would still have to go to work, and even deal with unreasonable accusations from brainless customers. Anything was possible, just like in that TV series, where a female customer service representative whose father had just passed away was berated by a customer for not knowing if her parents had died. She could only break down, cover her face, and wail. There was nothing she could do. This world is just so unsatisfactory.
Of course, it's impossible to have everything go perfectly. If everything went perfectly, there wouldn't be so many regrets in the world. Heath himself is well aware of this, so he never demands that his life be perfect; he's content with just having a smooth journey.
Heath bought the ingredients he needed and then drove his food truck to the technology exhibition. He arrived a little early today, but it was good that he was early so he could greet the ghost sisters sooner. Heath hadn't forgotten that he had a mission related to these three ghost sisters, but that mission was rather difficult, even for Heath. He could only take it one step at a time.
However, with a try-it-and-see attitude, Heath also used the magical conch shell, but did not get any response. The magical conch shell seemed to have lost its magical function and become an ordinary thing. Heath did not care too much. He had a backup plan. Although using the Nightmare Flower was really a waste, if he really could not complete the task, Heath would still consider using the Nightmare Flower.
Just as Heath's food cart came to a stop, she heard a knock at the door. It was Xiu Mei and Xiu Hui, but Xiu Nian wasn't there. This made Heath a little curious. Usually, these three sisters were inseparable, like conjoined twins. Why was Xiu Nian missing now?
“My sister isn’t eating today, and I don’t know why.” Hearing Heath’s question, Xiu Mei quickly answered. This kind of thing happens often, every week. Xiu Mei was also very curious about why, but she couldn’t find the reason. Xiu Nian never said anything, and her older sister Xiu Hui wouldn’t let her ask any further, so Xiu Mei just let it go.
Xiumei believed that Xiuhui was mostly right, since Xiuhui had never disappointed them. Therefore, Xiumei never bothered to investigate her second sister's secret again, believing that her second sister would tell her in the future.
Heath glanced at his phone. Today wasn't anything special; if he had to name a day, it was Tuesday. There weren't any other holidays. Heath even had to search online to find out it was some strange "International Day of Unemployed Men." Heath's lips twitched. There were only a few days a year like that. Would it become a day where every single day was a holiday? It was hard to say. There might even be several holidays a day. Heath felt that holidays would become less special then, since there would be too many holidays, making non-holidays precious. Perhaps there would be an "International Day of Celebrations for Non-Holidays"? But wouldn't that also become a holiday?
This is really interesting. Just like online polls, the truth is in the hands of the majority or the minority. As a result, many people chose the minority, which turned out to be the majority.
Heath shook his head. No, things would only get more chaotic and confusing if this continued. Heath was too lazy to think about these problems anymore. He continued to make breakfast for Xiumei and Xiuhui. The two sisters were eating very ordinary food today, just bread and some side dishes. It wasn't complicated to make, and Heath finished quickly. He then served it to Xiumei and Xiuhui. He was a little curious about what reward he could get this time.
You entertained Xiu Mei and Xiu Hui, and you received a tattered diary.
"?" Heath was stunned for a moment. Goodness, giving him a diary directly? But who writes a diary? Heath looked at the cabinet. The diary wasn't with him; it must be in the cabinet. He would open it after Xiumei and Xiuhui left. He was curious about what was recorded in the diary.
After Xiu Mei and Xiu Hui left, Heath took out the diary. However, as soon as he took it out, Heath knew why it was damaged. It looked very broken. In fact, Heath was worried that it would fall into pieces when he opened it. But fortunately, it seemed to be holding up.
Heath opened the diary, which contained only two or three pages, and even those pages were tattered. Heath's lips twitched. Although she knew this might be related to the three sisters, she had to admit that with such a small clue, was she planning to play some kind of detective puzzle game?
Heath sighed, then continued looking at the diary in his hand, sorting through the messages inside.
After reading it, Heath was even more confused.
Simply put, this diary seems to be a primary school student's diary, which records stories of how he and a good friend named "Ayumi" had fun playing together. There is nothing else in it, which left Heath completely confused.
"So, what is the significance of this diary? Could it be that one of the three sisters' obsessions is related to this girl named Ayumi?" This was the only thought that Heath could have, as it was the most likely possibility. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to be given a damaged diary. The cheat system usually doesn't give useless things; what it gives is generally related to the other person's identity. Heath felt that the notebook most likely belonged to Xiu Nian, since Xiu Nian wasn't here today, and whether Xiu Hui's era even had diaries with this kind of craftsmanship was also a question.
So the most likely candidate is Xiu Nian.
However, since Xiu Nian was not there, Heath was unsure whether his idea was correct. Soon, Heath no longer had time to think about those issues, because the Alliance's waiters had arrived, which meant that the guests would be arriving soon, and Heath had to prepare breakfast for the waiters.
