I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"This method... is quite interesting. It sounds like simmering?" Heath stroked his chin. He had to admit that this approach was indeed very interesting. Heath knew about Cloyster, the evolved form of Shellder. Its strength was not bad, but many times people bred Cloyster mainly to inherit one of its moves. However, if you disregard the moves, Cloyster is actually a very powerful Pokémon. And most importantly, as a marine Pokémon, Cloyster's shells are not difficult to obtain; they can be described as easy.

They can be easily bought on the market. However, a Fire-type Pokémon that knows moves like Flamethrower might be troublesome for an average chef, but it's easy for Sheath because Charizard is the perfect Pokémon to meet the requirements. So Sheath quickly used the Psyduck Trading Company to purchase Cloyster shells and called Charizard over.

Giovanni glanced at the exceptionally muscular Charizard in front of him and clicked his tongue. Although Hiss was a chef, his ability to raise Pokémon was truly remarkable. This Charizard looked to be very well-raised, and its physical abilities were probably quite exaggerated. It should be noted that even among the same type of Pokémon, there are differences in physical attack power between different individuals. Hiss's Charizard was probably much stronger than other Charizards in terms of physical attack power.

"Heath, you really don't want to be a trainer?" Giovanni felt a little regretful. If Heath wanted to be a trainer, Giovanni would definitely try to recruit him and get him to join Team Rocket. Then Team Rocket would have a powerful executive, and Giovanni would have a great partner to discuss cooking with. Besides, Heath's girlfriend is Cynthia. If he could get Cynthia to join Team Rocket as well, Giovanni felt that Team Rocket would truly be the emperors of the underworld in the Kanto region.

"Well, Mr. Sakaki, I really have no interest in being a trainer." Hiss waved his hand. If he wanted to be a trainer, he probably wouldn't have this system. His system was completely tied to his identity as a chef. Besides, Hiss himself really had no interest in being a trainer. In his previous life, Hiss played games, and in Pokémon games, he would usually become the strongest trainer in the end. He had lost much interest in that aspect.

"What a pity." Giovanni looked at the perfectly bred Charizard in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. This Charizard was just what Giovanni liked, and the Pokémon around Hiss all seemed to be quite strong.

Thinking of this, Giovanni thought of the Farfetch'd he had just seen. Normally, Farfetch'd should be a very ordinary Pokémon, but the Farfetch'd next to Heath gave the impression that it had been bred very well. Although it looked similar to an ordinary Farfetch'd, it was very skilled at flipping food and cooking, and its wings were very stable. With such wings, it would probably be very strong when it used some moves.

However, what attracted Giovanni the most was that Farfetch'd was a chef, and he seemed to be quite good at cooking.

“Mr. Sakaki, let’s give it a try.” At this moment, Heath also received his goods. Although it required an extra considerable shipping fee, Heath felt it was worthwhile. The shells of the spiky clam were very fresh and had no strange smell. Sakaki did not continue to dwell on this matter, but instead cut a piece of shrimp meat with Heath. However, Heath marinated it according to his own idea before putting it in, while Sakaki did not marinate it at all.

"Old Charizard, thanks for your help." Hiss patted Charizard's back, as if he were patting cement, it was very hard. Charizard's muscles were really too developed, reaching a terrifying level. Hiss even felt that Charizard's muscles were already perfect, reaching the limit of the Charizard species. He estimated that if Charizard continued to train, its muscles would probably not grow any more, unless Charizard stopped being a normal Pokémon.

Heath suddenly became very curious. He had previously obtained a Pokémon ability modifier, so could he now obtain a Pokémon base stat booster? For example, he could boost Charizard's base stats to a higher level, which would cause a qualitative change in Charizard. However, looking at the Charizard in front of him, Heath felt that even without those tools, Charizard's base stats had probably already exceeded the normal limits of its type.

Why are the Pokémon of the Champions and Elite Four so strong? On one hand, it's because of the trainers' abilities, and on the other hand, these Pokémon have basically reached their limits, which is something that ordinary Pokémon cannot do. Although pseudo-legendary Pokémon have a base stat total of 600, not every pseudo-legendary Pokémon can reach the 600 limit. Different trainers also raise and develop their Pokémon's abilities differently.

Charizard nodded seriously, then opened its mouth and began to unleash a powerful Fire-type move, Flamethrower, at the Cloyster in front of it. Although this move was very powerful, it was easy to dodge, so its hit rate was not 100%. However, it was still fine to use on something that did not move, such as the Cloyster's shell.

"By the way, Mr. Giovanni, have you ever heard of a Charizard with the Water Absorb ability?" Heath asked curiously, unsure if Giovanni knew anything about a Water Absorb Charizard.

Sakaki paused for a moment, then gave Heath a strange look.

"...I've never heard of a Water-Burning Charizard, but I have heard of a Gyarados with the Lightning Rod ability, though that's just a legend, an ancient one." Giovanni gave a surprising answer.

Chapter 906: What kind of bug is the Gyarados with the lightning rod?

"Is this even possible?" Hiss was somewhat taken aback. He really hadn't expected to hear about a lightning rod version of Gyarados one day. You see, Gyarados is a Water/Flying type Pokémon, and its weakest point is its Electro type. But now, this weakness of Gyarados has been completely covered. This is really interesting. In this way, Gyarados's biggest weakness is gone, and its strength has increased by more than just a little bit.

This is as absurd as a Swampert being herbivorous. Even those who use cheat codes wouldn't dare to do something so outrageous. Of course, it's also possible that those who use cheat codes are already invincible, so they don't need such a cheat.

“Yeah, that’s why it’s called a legend.” Sakaki smiled, and at this moment he could smell a very nice scent in the air. The scent was very peculiar, smelling somewhat like seafood, but upon closer inspection, it was impossible to identify what it was. Heath also smelled it; as a fairly good chef, he had never smelled such a fragrance before.

At first glance, it smells like flowers, but upon closer inspection, a hint of meat can be detected. This piqued Heath's curiosity. Could this method really be effective? Or perhaps the best way to prepare the prawns? Heath wasn't sure, but he felt there was a possibility. If that were the case, it would save him a lot of trouble. Heath had previously struggled to find the best cooking method. The simplest approach was to ask an experienced chef, but that wasn't an easy path.

The second option, which Heath intended to try, was exhaustive testing to find the best solution. However, Heath felt that he was unlikely to find the best solution, since just looking at the solution in front of him, he felt that it was something no normal person could think of.

To be honest, Hiss hadn't expected the Cloyster's shell and Charizard's Flame Burst to happen. Fortunately, these problems weren't particularly difficult to solve, and Hiss didn't need to waste any more time.

After stopping the old man, Heath removed the shell of the Clam. It was very hot, but fortunately, Heath had his own solution. And with Mr. Giovanni here, Heath didn't have to worry about the shell not being able to open. Under Giovanni's guidance, Nidoking quickly pried open the shell, revealing the fragrant Steel Cannon Shrimp meat inside. Even Heath, a chef who had eaten many delicacies, found the aroma somewhat intoxicating. The smell was truly wonderful, leaving no room for criticism.

"Mr. Sakaki, you're really amazing. You even managed to find this method of preparation." Although he hadn't eaten it yet, Heath felt that the method of preparation in front of him was basically correct. After all, a good dish should, strictly speaking, have perfect color, aroma, and taste. Of course, there are some unique dishes that may not fall into these categories, such as stinky tofu. Although it smells terrible, it actually tastes pretty good.

There are other foods like this, and durian is a well-known example. People who hate durian feel nauseous just from the smell, while people who love durian want to eat it every day. Even though durian is expensive, they are not stingy with their money. Of course, putting durian on pizza is completely unacceptable to people in some regions.

Although there are many dishes that smell bad but taste good, if a dish smells good, it generally won't taste too bad either. The human nose is very sensitive, and perhaps because humans have encountered many problems during the process of evolution, people often feel nauseous and want to vomit when they smell bad. This is also a self-protective mechanism of the body. On the other hand, a dish that smells good can often increase a person's appetite.

Many chemical products or other products that are harmful to the human body may be odorless, and the sense of smell that humans have evolved cannot detect them. In order to prevent accidental ingestion, some very smelly substances or emetics are added to them so that people who accidentally eat them can vomit quickly and go to the hospital on their own.

"It's alright." Sakaki looked at the shrimp meat in front of him and couldn't help but swallow. He had only heard his parents talk about this before, and he had never thought of using this method before. After all, compared to the convenient kitchen utensils available now, it was too troublesome to use something like a clam shell. But he didn't expect it to be so good.

Heath and Sakaki tasted it, and the flavor was indeed much better, even surpassing the method Heath had learned online. Heath was now almost certain that this was the best way to prepare it. If this was indeed the case, it would save him a lot of time, since this method would normally require him to waste time trying and making mistakes, and would also waste a lot of ingredients. Now, it was much more convenient. Thinking of this, Heath hesitated for a moment.

Although he felt it was enough, it was clear that to complete the system's task, he still needed the guests' approval, and there happened to be a guest right in front of him.

"Mr. Giovanni, would you like to buy some of this Steel Cannon Shrimp meat to try?" Heath asked Giovanni. Giovanni was a very good candidate; he was strong and had plenty of money. For others, eating a piece of Steel Cannon Shrimp giant leg meat might be a painful experience, but for Giovanni, it wasn't a particularly serious matter. Team Rocket was the largest dark organization in the Kanto region, and no one could rival them. Their ability to amass wealth was naturally beyond question.

Giovanni was somewhat conflicted. He was indeed wealthy. Putting aside his hidden identity, his public identity as a gym leader was enough to allow him to buy a house in Goldenrod City without any down payment, and even waive the interest. In the eyes of the bank's risk assessment department, Giovanni was an absolutely high-quality customer.

However, Giovanni also had things to do during this time. Team Rocket had a lot of things to do, and the research and development of Niijima and the purchase of those scientific research machines were costing him a lot of money, so he was really struggling with this issue.

Chapter 907

In the end, Giovanni paid for it. Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had eaten the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp before. After all, it was really delicious, and the ingredients themselves were very rare. It was an excellent delicacy, without exception. Giovanni was also a man who was very passionate about cooking and food. So after hesitating for a long time, he still chose to buy it. However, he only bought a quarter of it, but this was also the share that Heath planned to sell.

After all, if he failed to complete the mission, this mission would be a complete failure, and finding it again after eating it all would probably not be easy.

[You entertained Sakaki, you completed the special mission, you lucky guy!]

Heath's lips twitched. Why did this reward seem so strange? But Heath felt that he was really lucky. If he hadn't kept Giovanni to help him cook, he wouldn't know where he would have found the correct way to cook this Steel Cannon Shrimp. The difficulty was simply incredible, it was beyond human capabilities.

You have received a special reward: a ship ticket.

[Ticket: A ticket to an unknown destination. Simply think "use" in your mind and it will be used automatically, teleporting you to an unknown place.]

You have completed the city achievement quest in Cerulean City and obtained a special clue.

Heath paused for a moment. The good news was that the mission was successfully completed, and this method was probably indeed the best one. Thinking about this, Heath had a bit of a headache. To be honest, if it were him, he really didn't think he could have guessed that the correct way to cook this thing would be like this. Fortunately, with Sakaki's help, the mission was successfully completed. However, this time the reward was a bit confusing to Heath. What was a "ship ticket"? It seemed to mean that he was to take a ship, but the problem was that the instructions for using this thing said that it would directly teleport him to a place.

So it should be called a teleportation scroll, right?

Hiss knew about the second reward; the previous Yeti, Snorlax, and Ralts were all given to him by these special clues. He just didn't know what the reward clue would be this time. Hiss already had all the Pokémon he wanted, and he didn't have any plans to take in any more Pokémon at the moment. Hess was hoping for some other clues.

This special clue needed to be used by himself, and Heath had no intention of keeping it, so he used it directly. After using it, Heath saw what the special clue hinted at.

Legend has it that deep within the Petalburg Woods lies a lake, and hidden within the lake is an ancient mansion. The mansion's owner was once the ranger of Viridian Forest. Time has taken everything away, but it has left behind its most precious possessions.

Heath paused for a moment. Goodness, this clue was also strange, completely baffling what it was trying to say. However, it was better than the previous one. Heath studied it for a while, and the gist of it was that there was a mansion buried underwater in the Orange Blossom Forest, and that there were some precious things inside...

"Hmm? Could it be..." Heath paused, stunned. He had completed many city achievement quests, but there was one city he still didn't know how to complete: Evergreen City. The reason was that Evergreen City's city achievement quest was very special; it required the use of a Viridian Fruit. The Viridian Fruit was rumored to grant the eater the power of Viridian, an ability possessed only by Giovanni, and a very special and rare ability. It was for this reason that Heath hadn't been able to complete Evergreen City's quest. But judging from the current situation, it seemed that Evergreen City's city achievement quest would ultimately fall into Petalburg Woods in the Hoenn region?

Heath knew about Petalburg Woods. On one hand, Cynthia had told him that there was a mansion in Petalburg Woods and a very powerful Gengar inside. On the other hand, the Pokémon series that left the deepest impression on Heath during his childhood was Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and the story of that series took place in the Hoenn region. You could also encounter some of the story events in Petalburg Woods, making it a place that many newcomers would visit.

However, what you know in the game is one thing, but what you know in reality is another. Generally speaking, what can be called a forest is not a small area. Although the League has opened a special road for Petalburg Woods, there are still many places that are still primeval forests and have not been developed. The League does not allow trainers below a certain level to go there. Of course, the level here refers to the number of Gym Badges they hold. After all, primeval forests are not such pleasant places. They are dangerous and troublesome. This is the true face of primeval forests.

Heath had been to XSBN with his colleagues before. The rainforest there was fascinating, but the guide warned that you should never go in alone, or you might not be able to get out. He gave a few examples, which made some of his more daring colleagues much more cautious.

The thought that the clue might lead to the Everlasting Fruit instantly piqued Heath's interest. He had considered the location of the next stop before, but now it seemed unnecessary. Heath had already decided that the next location would definitely be Orange Blossom Forest. Heath was determined to complete the Evergreen City achievement quest; he would never leave it unfinished.

Heath looked at Mr. Sakaki with delight. What a lucky man! He not only solved his problem of making the Steel Cannon Shrimp, but also found a way to complete the city achievement. He was truly blessed.

"Heath, I'll be going now. I have a training session for Misty today." Giovanni glanced at his phone and then told Heath. Heath nodded and didn't refuse. Of course, he knew that Giovanni had a lot on his plate. After all, this was Giovanni. Even if he didn't have to do the work of a gym leader, the affairs of Team Rocket alone were enough to keep Giovanni busy.

After Giovanni left, Hiss was eager to teleport away immediately, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to contact Cynthia instead. On one hand, Cynthia had come to find him, and he couldn't very well not tell her. On the other hand, Hiss wanted to travel alone with Cynthia, and going to Petalburg Woods seemed like a great opportunity to him.

"Hmm? Orange Blossom Forest? Sure." Cynthia's voice was a little surprised, but she quickly agreed with a smile. Heath was a little nervous, but her inner joy was undeniable.

Chapter 908 The Second Culinary Skills Competition

Although Heath has now completed the achievement mission in Cerulean City, she is not in a hurry to leave because the Farfetch'd cooking competition is not over yet. She will have to stay here for a while longer. Tonight is the second round of the Farfetch'd preliminary competition. As long as she passes this round, she can enter the top 32. Heath asked the competition staff, and according to them, this competition will take about a month to reach the finals because there is production, editing, post-production and other work in between. Of course, it will not actually take that long.

There are several production methods for variety shows nowadays. The first is to follow a strict schedule. These variety shows adjust the content of the next episode based on audience feedback after each episode airs, and even arrange the selection of contestants to advance. This has its advantages. If the variety show is not popular, it can be terminated at an opportune time. If the ratings are high, it can continue. The second method is to record the show in advance, and then start post-production and scheduling, and finally release it according to the broadcast schedule.

The advantage of this is that it saves time, but the disadvantage is also obvious: you don't know how well it will perform. Once it's released, it basically has to be finished, otherwise it's a waste, unless the ratings are really so low that it's outrageous.

This is how the food program is arranged. According to the staff, as long as tonight's competition is over, tomorrow will be the semi-finals. After the semi-finals, there will be a gap of about half a month before the semi-finals and finals officially begin. This means that I only need to wait until tomorrow night to end my trip in Cerulean City.

This trip to Cerulean City was very short, but Heath didn't mind. As long as he completed the city achievement mission, he could finish the trip whenever he wanted. Besides, although Cerulean City was in its peak tourist season during the rainy season and the scenery was quite nice, Heath was a person who preferred quiet. He wouldn't be very interested in playing if there were too many people, so leaving early was not a problem.

Heath brought Farfetch'd to the competition venue. Compared to yesterday's bustling crowd, there were far fewer people here now. However, the remaining contestants were definitely all quite skilled, which meant the competition was officially starting now. Since this competition was about knife skills, Heath was quite confident, after all, Farfetch'd's knife skills were quite good. Thinking of this, Heath hesitated whether to create some hype, since Heath also had a unique weapon.

That's the Heaven and Earth Unparalleled Blade, or Three-Day Blade for short. This blade is extremely sharp and eye-catching. If it were taken out, Heath thought the scallion duck would definitely become the focus of the photographers' attention. However, Heath immediately gave up on this idea because this cooking competition was the same as before. All the cooking utensils had been arranged, and they all looked to be from the same brand. This was probably the sponsor.

Sponsors of cooking competitions are usually kitchen-related companies, at the very least those that provide ingredients. Otherwise, what would be the point of a mobile phone company sponsoring a cooking competition? Is it to make it easier to look up recipes? So most cooking competition sponsors are kitchenware companies that sell knives, cutting boards, rice cookers, etc. Unless a cooking show becomes a huge hit with consistently high ratings, Heath doesn't think any other company would sponsor a cooking competition.

“It’s Mantis brand.” Heath saw the company name on it. Mantis is a very famous brand in the culinary world. Their kitchenware is known for its sturdiness and durability. Heath used to use Mantis kitchenware as well, but now he naturally uses better kitchenware. He has even replaced his kitchen knife with a Dialga knife.

Thinking about Dialga's cleaver, Heath felt a bit curious. He knew that Dialga was also a chef, but he wondered if Dialga had ever participated in any cooking competitions. However, recalling the restaurant Dialga had visited in the Sinnoh region, Heath figured he probably had, since Dialga's restaurant was quite famous. Such well-known restaurants were often invited to cooking competitions or appear on food shows.

However, Dialga definitely won't come here, since this is the Kanto region, not the Sinnoh region. Hiss thinks that if Dialga were to participate in a competition, he should only participate once.

"Farfly Duck, have you decided what to make?" Heath looked at Farfly Duck with some curiosity. Farfly Duck seemed to have some ideas. This cooking competition was about knife skills. Knife skills are something that can be simple or difficult, but they are not particularly difficult either. Heath knew some dishes that could showcase knife skills, such as Wensi Tofu.

Wensi Tofu is a dish that showcases knife skills. Cutting a piece of soft tofu into tofu strips is a very difficult task. Heath only dared to try making it when his knife skills were already quite good. It took him a while to successfully make his first piece of Wensi Tofu. The sense of accomplishment was very strong, and it made Heath feel very good.

"Farfetch'd!" Farfetch'd called out. Heath's lips twitched, but he still managed to hear Farfetch'd's thoughts through telepathy. Farfetch'd said it had made up its mind and was just waiting to go up, which reassured Heath a lot.

To be honest, Heath didn't really care what prize Farfetch'd won in the cooking competition. For Heath, any prize Farfetch'd could win, or even nothing at all. As long as Farfetch'd could develop its own self-confidence, then Heath would have achieved its goal. Winning first place would be ideal, but if it didn't, Heath could simply spend money to have a master craftsman create a set of Farfetch'd's special kitchen utensils, which would be even simpler.

So Heath was very happy to see that Farfetch'd had gained some confidence.

"Let's go." Heath smiled and led the faraway duck down to the competition venue.

"That's great." Mew looked at Heath and Farfetch'd with envy. It also wanted to go out and play with Heath, but it knew its own identity and how much trouble it would cause if it appeared in front of others.

Chapter 909 A knife, anything can be a knife

"I'm a doctor, it's normal for me to carry a scalpel, right?" A man in a white coat looked at the staff member in front of him with dissatisfaction. Heath stood behind him with Farfetch'd. Heath's lips twitched as he watched this scene. When he first saw the man in the white coat, Heath thought that the other party was a medical staff member at the competition site. He didn't expect that he was a contestant. But what surprised him even more was that this man actually wanted to bring a scalpel to the competition. This was truly an eye-opener.

"Sir, for the sake of fairness, all contestants can only use the cooking utensils provided by the organizer." The staff member explained helplessly, and the man then angrily put away his scalpel. The scalpel was his favorite tool for cooking, and he was surprised that he couldn't use it now. Besides, he also had his own selfish reasons. Using a scalpel to cook was naturally the easiest way, since this was a competition to test knife skills.

"If even a scalpel won't work, then mine won't work either?" A man muttered to himself behind Heath. Heath turned his head and saw that the man was holding a machine with the words "Portable High-Pressure Water Jet" written on it. Heath's lips twitched. Goodness, a high-pressure water jet is a knife, huh? Then can I use Arceus as a knife?

After the much-criticized verification process, Farfetch'd was taken to the assessment site. Upon arrival, Heath was taken aback because the assessor was the same one from yesterday, smiling at him and Farfetch'd. Heath patted Farfetch'd on the head to encourage him, then stood aside to wait. He was curious to see what Farfetch'd planned to do today, since Farfetch'd seemed confident and prepared. Heath was quite curious about what dish Farfetch'd intended to prepare to showcase his knife skills.

However, looking at the ingredients that Farfetch'd had chosen, Heath's expression became strange. Farfetch'd had chosen a lot of ingredients, the most of all the contestants. Heath was stunned. Even some of the other contestants cast curious glances at him. The photographer even came up to Farfetch'd, wanting to see what this gimmicky contestant planned to do to showcase his culinary skills.

"Honey? What does it need honey for?" A contestant not far from Heath looked at Farfetch'd curiously and asked in surprise. Heath turned her head and saw it was the girl who had been infatuated with Farfetch'd earlier, but at this moment her attention was focused on Farfetch'd, and even her favorite male god could not attract her attention.

Heath's eyes narrowed. Honey can be used in cooking, and Heath had taught Farfetch'd Duck how to use it. However, honey isn't very versatile, which is why it's rarely kept in the kitchen.

Watching Farfetch'd put the tofu skin into the pot and turn it brown, a thought suddenly flashed through Heath's mind. He looked at the ingredients Farfetch'd was holding and immediately understood what Farfetch'd was planning to make. It had to be said that this was truly ingenious and a very imaginative dish. Heath had originally thought that Farfetch'd would make a dish like Radish Phoenix King, since carving radishes was a display of knife skills, but he never expected that Farfetch'd would plan to make this.

"It's a sure thing." Heath immediately lost interest. Heath had already guessed what Farfetch'd was planning. Because he had guessed, Heath was certain that Farfetch'd would advance without any problem, unless Farfetch'd messed up. However, the possibility of Farfetch'd messing up was not very high, so Heath turned his attention to the other contestants. Although the competition had already eliminated a large number of people, some oddballs had still been retained, including the chef who liked to cook while wearing headphones.

However, what attracted the most attention was something else entirely: the chef's attire had absolutely nothing to do with being a chef. His clothes made him look more like a shaman performing a ritual, completely unlike a chef. And the person in question was currently…

A shamanistic ritual?

Heath was somewhat surprised because the other person was actually performing a shamanistic ritual, chanting incantations as she danced. Heath couldn't help but peek over and saw that the other person was praying for some deceased culinary masters from the Pokémon world to possess her and cook for her. Heath broke out in a cold sweat watching this, and this scene obviously attracted the attention of the photographers. Another group of photographers was recording the whole thing, and it was clear that the shaman was getting more and more excited, dancing so fast that Heath wondered if she might get a cramp or something.

"The world is so vast, there are all sorts of wonders," Heath exclaimed, then turned his head and saw a dreamlike creature cooking.

?

Heath rubbed his eyes. Oh, he must have misread it. It was a chef in a fantastical suit cooking. Heath was speechless. Was this really a cooking competition or some kind of attention-grabbing event? Heath was genuinely afraid that someone would pop out and talk about their dreams, then recount their tragic family background and childhood, and then tell their tragic story to elicit sympathy from the judges. He'd seen this routine far too many times; his compassion was almost completely exhausted.

Heath used to feel sorry for the elderly people who were still setting up their fruit stalls past 10 p.m., trying to sell the few fruits they had left. Their white hair and wrinkled faces evoked his sympathy, so Heath spent 96 dollars to buy all the remaining cherries. But when he got home and ate them, they were all bitter and inedible. From that moment on, Heath no longer felt any sympathy for the elderly people who were still selling fruit late at night. After all, his pity was taken for foolishness, which was somewhat unacceptable.

But in a way, this is also a tragedy. If people's compassion eventually disappears, what a miserable world it will become.

Heath shook his head. Fortunately, the Pokémon world was relatively normal, without this kind of misery contest. Heath could at least enjoy the show and see how these imaginative chefs made their dishes.

Meanwhile, the staff around the green onion duck stared wide-eyed, because in front of them, a lifelike roast duck was slowly becoming whole. But the problem was, the green onion duck had never picked up the duck; it had only picked up some vegetables!
