I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"...Sir, we do have dehumidifiers. We have many kinds here, you can take a look." The enthusiastic salesperson kept introducing their products. Heath didn't pay too much attention, but instead chose a dehumidifier that was expensive, but most suitable for his food cart and also the most effective. After Heath decided to buy it, the salesperson's smile became much more genuine.

Although Heath's food truck is unaffected by the environment—it wouldn't be affected by heavy rain, or even if the entire city of Cerulean were flooded—it would be fine to have a dehumidifier. It would make the guests feel more comfortable and also explain why the interior of his food truck doesn't get damp.

The biggest problem caused by continuous rainy days is that clothes don't dry and you feel like you're going to spoil. But this is the world of Pokémon, with Fire-type Pokémon, so this problem becomes much simpler.

"Hello, I'd like to ask if there's a machine that can dry shoes and trouser legs quickly. The faster the better." Heath thought of his second question and quickly asked. You see, even with an umbrella, people's trouser legs and shoes are the easiest to get wet on rainy days. If there was a machine that could solve this problem, then Heath's business would be fine.

"This? Of course we have it. After all, it's the rainy season in Hualan City right now, and it'll last for almost three months. I wonder if you're using it for personal purposes, sir?" The salesperson was very enthusiastic. Heath briefly explained his needs, which was within his expectations. After all, the rainy season in Hualan City lasts a long time. Heath himself didn't believe that the merchants in Hualan City couldn't find a way to make money from it. Merchants are profit-driven, and Hualan City also has the Alliance's research institute, so it's not surprising that they would study these kinds of things.

Heath followed the enthusiastic salesperson to take a look. The price was very expensive, but the effect was indeed very good. Heath even tried it himself. The mannequin was wearing canvas shoes and sweatpants, both of which are quite absorbent. After getting wet, it could be dried quickly in five seconds on the dryer, and there would be no water droplets when walking. The effect was indeed very good, so Heath decisively bought it.

After bringing his food truck back, Heath did a quick setup and then drove it to the Officer Jenny Center to obtain his stall permit. Heath didn't see Officer Jenny Bell, the head of the Officer Jenny family, this time, but the other Officer Jennys were very welcoming to him. Everyone in the Officer Jenny family knew that Heath had become an Officer Jenny, although outsiders were not so aware of it.

"Moonlight, I want to ask why Captain Officer Jenny isn't here?" Heath was a little curious. Although he knew that there must be cases of people with the same name within the Officer Jenny family, he really didn't expect that there were two Officer Jennys in the Kanto region. Heath was very curious about this.

"The captain caught a cold. Isn't it the peak season for H1N1 flu right now? You should be careful too. It would be best to get vaccinated if possible." Officer Jenny said with a smile as she processed Heath's stall permit. Hearing this, Heath finally understood why the captain was not there. It seems that even with a good constitution, one can still get sick.

After resolving his doubts, Heath drove his food truck to his stall location. This time, Heath's stall was in a decent commercial area, though it couldn't compare to popular areas like the food street. However, Heath was content, since prime commercial areas like the food street were already overcrowded. Heath had inquired and learned that the application for a stall was already booked two years in advance. People applied every day, but no one could get a spot because the original stall owners were unwilling to give up their locations, making it very difficult to find an empty stall in that area.

Even if a space becomes available, it will be snapped up immediately and renovations will begin.

Heath quickly arrived at his stall location, but it was already past 2 p.m. Heath hesitated whether to start business now or change his business hours for the day. Before heath could decide, he saw someone who looked somewhat familiar.

It was a girl, not very old, but she was smiling happily. However, what attracted Heath was not her charm, but her appearance. Heath's stall location was actually quite good, near the dojo, and with this girl's face, Heath immediately thought of someone: Misty.

"Hello! Are you Mr. Heath?" Just as Heath was marveling at seeing Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia walked over excitedly and looked at Heath shyly, asking him a question. Heath was taken aback.

"Ah, I'm Heath. May I ask what's up?" Heath looked at Xia with some confusion. Although Xia's face was red and she looked shy, Heath didn't have any thoughts of 'she likes me'.

Chapter 856 The Three Great Illusions of Life

It's said that there are three great illusions in life: one is that I can turn the tables, another is that I have plenty of time, and the third is that they like me. However, Heath didn't have such misunderstandings. Although Xiaoxia in front of him did look like a shy young girl, Heath always felt that Xiaoxia's behavior was probably related to something else. In any case, it certainly wasn't something as strange as liking him. After all, he and Xiaoxia had never met. And although he had been a frequent visitor to the trending topics list lately, it didn't mean that Heath had really become a heartthrob.

Heath was self-aware enough to know that his looks were only average, far from the super high looks of those big stars. So he didn't think that showing his face would make him the 'brother' of millions of girls. Therefore, Heath thought that Xiaoxia contacting him was probably related to something else.

"Hello Mr. Heath, I am... I am Misty, the acting Gym Leader of the Water-type Gym in Cerulean City. I am... I am... I am a fan of Cynthia. Could you please get me an autograph?" Misty took several deep breaths and looked at Heath expectantly. Heath was stunned for a moment, then his lips twitched. He really hadn't expected that Misty's purpose in contacting him was to ask Cynthia for an autograph. However, Cynthia's fame was indeed quite great. After all, she was a female champion with very strong abilities. It could be said that Cynthia's life was legendary.

Cynthia is not very old, but she has overcome many obstacles and fought her way to the top. She has experienced very few failures in her growth process. Coupled with her super strength, Cynthia is now the undisputed top player in the Sinnoh region.

"Well... it's not impossible, but I need to ask first." Heath didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. After all, although it sounded simple, Heath didn't know what his girlfriend thought, so he still needed to ask. If Cynthia didn't mind, then Heath would help Xiaoxia get an autograph. Xiaoxia was a pretty good girl, not a bad person.

Xiaoxia wasn't in a hurry. She happily left her contact information with Heath and then left cheerfully. Heath couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xiaoxia skip and hop. If you didn't know better, you'd think Xiaoxia was a minor. Anyway, Heath hadn't walked like that since he was an adult.

Heath shook his head. He hadn't expected to run into Misty as soon as he arrived in Cerulean City. Not only did he run into Misty, but she even came to ask his girlfriend for an autograph. Heath almost laughed. He took out his phone to call his girlfriend, but just as he dialed, he heard his phone ringing behind him. Heath was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned around and saw Cynthia standing behind him with an umbrella, smiling at him.

"Cynthia?" Heath was pleasantly surprised. He really hadn't expected his girlfriend to come. It was a delightful surprise. Although Heath had told Cynthia yesterday that he planned to come to Cerulean City, he was still very happy to meet her here.

"Does that girl want my autograph?" Cynthia was wearing rain boots, and her overall outfit was quite unique. Although it wasn't particularly fashionable, it was very individualistic and perfect for wearing in the rain.

"Yes, she's the acting Gym Leader of the Water-type Gym in Cerulean City." Heath smiled. Although Heath had some memories of Misty, they weren't very vivid. After all, it was an anime he watched a long time ago, and Pokémon anime is constantly being updated. Heath couldn't keep up with all the new anime, let alone watch an old one. So, Heath didn't have a clear memory of whether Misty became a Gym Leader or not, and he didn't even know when she did. But he didn't care; he just needed to do his job.

“She’s a very kind girl, my Pokémon likes her a lot.” Cynthia smiled happily, then walked over to Hiss, extended her hand, and winked at Hiss.

"Aren't you going to take me inside?" Cynthia tilted her head and asked Heath playfully. Heath paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled. He took Cynthia's hand and led her into his dining car. It was still raining outside, which was not a good place to talk. Although heavy rain was not common in Cerulean City during the rainy season, it was windy today, so an ordinary umbrella would not be enough to cover the whole body.

Upon entering Hiss's food truck, Cynthia felt the warm air beneath her feet. She looked down and was somewhat surprised; she had never seen such a device before, as it was rare to see anything like it in the Sinnoh region.

"This could be considered a specialty of Cerulean City. After all, the rainy season in Cerulean City lasts for about three months. Without these drying facilities, it would be quite a torturous experience," Heath said with a smile as he introduced it to Cynthia. Although he knew that his girlfriend's real name was Cynthia, Heath still preferred the name Cynthia. Cynthia was so nice; in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about whether their children would take their father's or mother's surname.

"This is really interesting. It reminds me of when I went to Petalburg Woods in Hoenn to search for Pokémon. I once saw a mansion there with a huge Gengar inside. That big guy bought some strange but very suitable furniture for Petalburg Woods." Cynthia looked at the shoe and trouser leg drying machine with great interest. She was a very curious person.

Heath was a little curious when she heard this. Were there mansions in Orange Blossom Forest? Heath seemed to remember some, but not very clearly. However, she thought she might go and see that place next time she had the chance.

"Would you like something to eat?" Heath smiled at his girlfriend. Although he didn't know why Cynthia had come, it was great that she was here. Heath missed his girlfriend quite a bit. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, especially since Heath and Cynthia had only been together for a short time and were still in the honeymoon phase.

"Hmm...can I cook for myself?" Cynthia looked at Heath with some anticipation. Heath hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and nodded. It wouldn't hurt to try Cynthia's cooking.

Chapter 857 Is Dating Not for the Purpose of Marriage?

"Are you planning to use this to cook?" Heath looked at the ingredients Cynthia had taken out, somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to open for business just now, but because Cynthia had arrived, Heath gave up the idea. Anyway, it was a rare day off, and it was nice to take a break occasionally. Heath didn't think there was any major problem, but looking at the ingredients Cynthia had taken out, Heath admitted that he was still a little shocked, after all, he really didn't expect Cynthia to use this.

“Yes, Slowpoke’s tail tastes really good.” Cynthia held up the ingredients in her hand. Hiss was a little amused when he saw it, but he didn’t say anything. Although Hiss knew that Slowpoke’s tail was edible, he had never actually eaten it. After all, Hiss had always had a slight aversion to it. However, now Hiss wasn’t so averse to it anymore. He could accept Slowpoke’s tail, as long as it wasn’t a whole Slowpoke served on his table.

Since arriving in this world, Hiss had been mentally preparing himself for the fact that Pokémon are edible. This point has been mentioned in the games and anime, with the simplest example being the silly Farfetch'd standing next to Hiss. This little guy likes to cook with him, but Farfetch'd itself is endangered because of its overly delicious meat. So, things like Slowpoke's tail and Baskin's juice are understandable. However, Hiss has also seen people use Magikarp to make sashimi, which made Hiss feel complicated.

Seeing that Hiss didn't say anything else, Cynthia began cooking. Hiss stood by watching. Strictly speaking, if Hiss hadn't known it was a Slowpoke tail, judging from the current processing steps, it wouldn't have been much different from a regular pig's tail. However, Hiss was quite interested in Cynthia's cooking. Hess thought that if it were him, he might make a braised Slowpoke tail dish, similar to the braised pig's tail he made in his previous life. However, Cynthia's Slowpoke tail seemed to be made like a cream soup. Hiss's expression became a little strange upon seeing this. A dish made like a cream soup...

"It's ready! Let's eat!" Cynthia happily brought the creamy Slowpoke soup to Heath. Although Heath had eaten lunch, he didn't refuse to eat with his girlfriend. Instead, he sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and with great courage, took a bite. His expression turned strange after that bite. It has to be said that the Slowpoke tail tasted really good, with firm meat and a unique texture.

Heath wasn't quite sure what the texture was like, but he thought it was quite good, even better than braised pig tails. And because it was made into a creamy soup, this Slowpoke tail had a slightly sweet taste, but not overly sweet. It was a kind of sweetness that made you feel refreshed.

"How does it taste?" Cynthia looked at Heath expectantly. She had to go back and learn how to make this Slowpoke Cream Soup from her grandmother. However, thinking of what her grandmother had said and the way she looked at her, Cynthia felt a little embarrassed. Her grandmother had only found out about her relationship with Heath from the news, which she hadn't expected. But it didn't matter, as her grandmother was quite satisfied with Heath.

"It's delicious." Heath wasn't just flattering him; he genuinely thought the taste was excellent. Cynthia's cooking skills were quite good, and of course, the deliciousness of Slowpoke's tail was also a key factor. For a chef, the quality of ingredients is extremely important. If the quality of the ingredients is poor, even a chef like Heath won't find it easy to make a good dish.

"I'm glad you like it~" Cynthia smiled and looked at Hiss, resting her chin on her hand. After returning to Sinnoh, she had spent a day talking with her grandmother. During that day, Cynthia heard a lot from her grandmother, which gave Cynthia some new ideas. She wanted to be serious about being with Hiss.

Heath ate his meal with a smile, but he wasn't very comfortable because Cynthia kept watching him. Her gaze made Heath very uncomfortable and uneasy. Moreover, Cynthia made no attempt to hide her gaze; she just stared at Heath intently. Her gaze was so intense that even someone like Heath found it hard to bear.

"Heath, we'll get married, right?" Cynthia suddenly asked, almost making Heath spit out his soup. Luckily, Heath had noticed Cynthia's gaze beforehand and had been watching her closely, which helped him suppress his inner turmoil and surprise. He wiped his mouth, looking at Cynthia with a mixture of surprise and joy. It has to be said that Cynthia's sudden question caught Heath off guard, but it was quickly followed by a surge of happiness.

"Yes!" Heath answered the question very seriously. He did indeed intend to marry Cynthia. The reason was simple: even now, Heath firmly believed that dating without the intention of marriage was just playing around. Of course, this also led many girls to call Heath an old-fashioned, rigid, and straight man. However, Heath didn't have much of an opinion on this. He felt that dating without the intention of marriage was meaningless.

However, some experiences and encounters in his previous life made Heath realize that some people date just to pursue that aspect of life, and some people even cheat on their partners after dating and getting married. It could be said to be a small reason for his daily fear of marriage.

“Mmm!” Cynthia smiled even more happily. She was very satisfied with Heath’s attitude. Cynthia thought so too. If dating isn’t for the purpose of marriage, then what is the point of dating?

"Speaking of which, Cynthia, what brings you here again? I thought you were in Sinnoh." Hiss looked at Cynthia curiously. Although he was happy to be with Cynthia, he was still a little curious about this. He had thought that Cynthia was still in Sinnoh dealing with things, after all, she was the Champion.

Chapter 858 The So-Called Date

"Of course I came to see you~" Cynthia smiled playfully. Heath's lips twitched. He really hadn't expected Cynthia to say that. However, Heath was certain that Cynthia had her own reasons for coming, but he wasn't sure if that was the only reason.

Heath didn't press the matter further, instead happily enjoying his food. The Slowpoke Tail Cream Soup tasted quite good, although it was a bit sweet and not to Heath's taste. However, Heath still finished it. It was made by his girlfriend, Cynthia, and its significance went beyond just a delicious meal; it represented Cynthia's affection. Although Heath was a typical straight man, he still possessed basic judgment. If he said it wasn't good or commented on its merits or flaws, even if Heath's assessment was fair, it would still upset Cynthia.

"Hey Heath, look, this is a photo of me with that giant Gengar! This guy is really huge, I even suspect it might be a Dynamaxed Gengar!" Cynthia seemed to have thought of something. She took out her phone, scrolled through it, and then turned it around and handed it to Heath. Heath then saw the photo. It was indeed a very large Gengar, and its body was enormous. Compared to Cynthia, it seemed even bigger. Heath thought this Gengar was probably ten times the size of a normal Gengar.

"Wow, such a huge Gengar? Does it have a trainer?" Cynthia was a little curious. Although most Ghost Pokémon can live for a very long time, it's not easy for a wild Pokémon to grow this big, let alone a Gengar. As a Ghost-Poison type Pokémon, Gengar's strength is undeniable. Although Gengar can manipulate its body to grow bigger or smaller, and even turn into a mist, most Gengars still maintain a normal size. This Gengar is huge, and according to Cynthia's judgment, it shouldn't be the kind of Gengar that grows big on its own. So, its strength is unimaginable.

Furthermore, it's important to know that there are Totem Pokémon in this world. The concept of Totem Pokémon was proposed by Pokémon professors from other regions, and later recognized and adopted by the League. Among them, some Totem-level Pokémon were later discovered in the Kanto region. Heath once watched a documentary that featured a Totem Alakazam, which was larger than its peers and very distinctive.

“It doesn’t have a trainer, or rather, its trainers are all dead. I’ve been to that mansion. It used to be inhabited. I asked the Hoenn League staff, and according to them, it used to be a family living there. Later, the whole family died of illness, and then Gengar took over. Because Gengar is so powerful, the League staff didn’t bother it.” Cynthia said to Hiss very seriously. Hiss nodded after hearing this. It was similar to what he had thought. If such a large Gengar really had a trainer, it wouldn’t be so unknown.

After finishing his meal, Heath washed the dishes. He had originally planned to open for business today, but because of Cynthia's arrival, he decided to take her out for some fun. After all, Cerulean City is a popular tourist destination, and since Cynthia was there, it was natural for them to go out and explore.

Cerulean City was crowded during the peak tourist season, which forced Cynthia to disguise herself. However, this disguise only made her stand out more. It was like walking down a main street where everyone was carrying umbrellas and wearing ordinary clothes, and then suddenly someone walked by wearing sunglasses and a mask, completely concealing herself. At that moment, people would either think that this person was a criminal suspect or that she was some kind of celebrity.

Fortunately, Heath had his own solution.

After promising not to open for business today so that Zoroark could have some fun in the food truck, Zoroark happily added a layer of illusion to Cynthia, changing her appearance. Cynthia's original long blonde hair turned into long black hair, and her appearance also changed, making her unrecognizable as Cynthia.

"Your Zoroark is quite strong. I've also seen these Pokémon known as the masters of illusions, but most Zoroarks don't have a good relationship with humans." Cynthia looked at her face on the phone with some surprise. Her face looked perfectly normal through the phone, which was impressive. The Zoroarks she had encountered before rarely managed to deceive electronic devices with illusions, but Zoroark could.

"It's alright, don't praise her, or this little guy's tail will be wagging in the air." Heath was a little amused, but still explained that Zoroark loves it when people praise its Phantom Reality, especially since it was Cynthia who praised it this time. Zoroark knows what the Elite Four and the Champion mean in the human world. If Zoroark finds out, then this little guy will probably get carried away in the next few days.

Cynthia stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed. Then, Hiss led her out for a stroll around Cerulean City, visiting some famous tourist attractions. By the time they were ready to return, it was already evening. Fortunately, it didn't rain in Cerulean City that night; the weather was perfect, even the dark clouds had disappeared. The clear starry sky after the rain looked even more magnificent. Moreover, because the buildings in Cerulean City aren't very tall, and light pollution has been deliberately reduced, the starry sky here is exceptionally beautiful; you can even see the Milky Way.

Heath gazed at the starry sky above, his eyes somewhat dazed. This starry sky was not the Milky Way, which Heath found regrettable. He couldn't find those famous constellations from his previous life here. Of course, if one had to force a connection, it wouldn't be impossible, but Heath knew that these constellations were not from his world, which left him somewhat disappointed.

It's impossible for Heath not to miss home; after all, he's just an ordinary person, not a god.

"Heath..." A soft call brought Heath back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at it, then froze.

Under a sky full of stars, Cynthia stood there, on the dock, the sea behind her, illuminated by the lights, looked like another starry sky.

Chapter 859 First Time

Heath stared blankly at the scene. Cynthia's position was beautiful; she seemed to be standing between two starry skies. The sea breeze of the night gently blew, ruffling Cynthia's hair and stirring Heath's heart. To be honest, Heath was a rather introverted and shy person, which often put him in a passive position in relationships. But now, looking at Cynthia before him, at the starry sky in her eyes, Heath's heart was completely in turmoil. He didn't even know what he was doing; he only knew that he walked over step by step, then took Cynthia's hand and stood firmly in front of her.

Cynthia was clearly caught off guard and stunned by Heath's sudden action. Her face turned red, and she was even embarrassed to look at Heath. Her eyes darted away, and in those blinking eyes, Chen Ye saw his own reflection and the starry river reflected behind him. The quiet dock made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.

Heath slowly approached, getting closer and closer. Cynthia panicked a little, but she still closed her eyes, trembling. Heath could even see Cynthia's constantly trembling eyelids. He knew that this girl was very nervous, his girlfriend was very nervous, but Heath still moved closer without hesitation.

Instantly, Cynthia's eyelids trembled even more violently, as if she was about to open her eyes and look at her suddenly bold boyfriend with those star-like eyes, but she still didn't open her eyes, and her hands were placed helplessly beside her legs.

For a long time, Heath didn't know how much time had passed. His brain seemed to have lost consciousness, but it really had been a long time, right? Anyway, when Heath came to, he only felt the taste of orange on his lips, and Cynthia standing in front of him had a blush on her face and was looking at him shyly. It has to be said that Cynthia's girlish expression completely captivated Heath's heart.

"Um... um..." Heath was a little embarrassed. He wasn't a very proactive person, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to walk over and kiss the girl he loved today. This gave Heath a very strange feeling, but he had to admit, it felt really good.

"..." Cynthia shyly twirled a strand of hair at her temple with her fingers, looking at Heath with a bashful expression. Her blush was so obvious that after a while, she walked over gently, reached out her hand, and took Heath's hand in hers.

"Shall we...shall we go back?" Cynthia's voice was gentle and sweet. Heath followed her in a daze. When he lay down on the bed in his dining car lounge, Heath slowly calmed down. But even so, Heath's face was still very red. Just thinking about the touch and the orange taste on his lips, Heath could almost see Cynthia's shy face.

"Hehehe..." Heath let out a silly laugh.

"Wow, it seems our trainer is making good progress with that female trainer today." Zoroark said with a teasing look. Charizard glanced at Zoroark helplessly, but didn't say anything. Charizard was actually quite concerned about its trainer's love life, but what pleased Charizard the most was that Cynthia was incredibly strong, so strong that it made Pokémon tremble.

Just like when playing games in a previous life, Pokémon actually have level restrictions. It's like when you first embark on a journey, even if you magically obtain a max-level shiny Pokémon, you can't use it because you're not qualified as a trainer. You need to obtain all the badges before you can use a max-level Pokémon and make it obey your commands.

Ash's Charizard had a similar problem, but this world is a bit more special. Even if you get a badge, it doesn't necessarily mean that a Pokémon will recognize you. So, although a trainer's strength sounds like a mysterious thing, it really exists. Champion-level trainers can catch very powerful wild Pokémon, and the Pokémon will obey the Champion trainer's commands. On the other hand, it is very difficult for ordinary trainers to command their parents' Pokémon unless they are really qualified.

Charizard could sense that his trainer's partner seemed to be a very powerful trainer, so he had no objections.

"What's the progress, Zoroark?" Ralts asked curiously. At this age, Ralts was at the peak of her curiosity and was interested in everything, so it wasn't strange that she wanted to ask. However, Zoroark, who was about to drive, noticed Charizard's unfriendly gaze, and she immediately became much more obedient.

……

Heath was unaware that his Pokémon was discussing such a complex topic as love. When he opened his eyes the next day, he felt incredibly energetic. Heath had used meditation that day, and in this meditative state, he recovered quickly and was full of energy. The only problem was that Heath kept thinking about what happened yesterday, making him a little restless.

"Phew, it's about time to go to the market today to ask about the city's specialty ingredients. But I think the most likely thing is seafood, right?" Heath stretched, forcing herself not to think about yesterday's events. Otherwise, Heath worried that she might really not be able to resist going to Cynthia. She still had to do her job today.

Hiss hadn't completed the city achievements for Cerulean City yet, and it was still early. He figured Cynthia shouldn't be awake yet, but as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he saw Cynthia sitting on his sofa, playing with Ralts. Lugia was watching the girl curiously. Cynthia noticed Lugia's gaze, smiled, and waved. Hiss couldn't help but close the door, wondering if he'd opened it wrong. But as he opened the door again, he was finally certain that he'd opened it correctly.

"Good morning, Heath!" Cynthia greeted Heath with a smile. Heath waved stiffly, still not quite understanding why Cynthia was in his house. But then Heath remembered something. When he came back yesterday, he had already given Cynthia full access to his food truck, apparently because of Zoroark's urging. Thinking of this, Heath gave Zoroark an unfriendly look.

This little guy is getting naughty.

Chapter 860 Hot Dog

"Cynthia... Good morning! What would you like to eat?" Hiss looked at Cynthia in front of him, took a deep breath, and then tentatively asked. Although Hiss was a little surprised that Cynthia was in his room, he had already given her permission, and after they got married, Cynthia would definitely be able to come and go as she pleased. Hiss couldn't stop her, so he quickly calmed down and looked at Cynthia as he asked. At worst, he could treat it as an early marriage and cohabitation. Anyway, this kind of life was actually quite nice.

"Huh? Food..." Cynthia paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought. Heath scratched his head, inexplicably thinking of a scene from a movie or anime, such as a newlywed wife wearing an apron asking her husband who had just returned home, "Do you want to eat first or eat me first?" presenting such a fatal choice. Heath thought that newlyweds might choose the first option, but as the marriage progressed, most people would choose the second, after all, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are over-plowed.

However, Cynthia didn't give any strange answer. Instead, she smiled at Heath and said she wanted to eat a hot dog. Heath was a little surprised, but since it was what Cynthia wanted, she could make it. Heath quickly set the location of her food truck. Today, Heath planned to stroll around the Cerulean City market to see what special ingredients it had and to research other things, such as Cerulean City's specialty ingredients. If she could make them, her trip to Cerulean City might be able to end sooner.

It has to be said that after his relationship with Cynthia progressed further yesterday, Hiss was indeed feeling restless. He wanted to be with Cynthia, so he wanted to take advantage of her presence to quickly complete the city achievement in Cerulean City, then return to the Sinnoh region with her, and perhaps even take things further? However, Hiss wasn't entirely sure, as he didn't know much about such things. In his previous life, he was a powerful mage who had been single for a long time. Back then, Hiss thought his future life would probably involve finding a blind date, maybe he would like her, maybe he wouldn't, and just living a life of compromise.

After a quick wash, Heath went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Since Cynthia had said she wanted hot dogs, Heath naturally decided what to make. Hot dogs seem simple, but making them delicious actually requires some skill. However, Heath herself had never made hot dogs in her previous life, so making them was a very challenging task for her. It's difficult to make a dish delicious when you've never made it before, and it's normal to have a lot of subjective opinions from the chef. Although Heath had watched some videos about Western fast food hot dogs and seen some popular hot dog shops, her impression of how to make hot dogs was still limited to two slices of bread with a hot dog sausage in between.
