I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

“That’s fine.” Heath smiled. Of course, he wouldn’t say anything directly. After all, it was someone else’s way of complaining about their child. It was fine for outsiders to just listen. If they had to join in the complaining, it would be a sign of low emotional intelligence.

"Sigh, this kid does everything in a rush, even eating. He can finish his meal in five minutes." Qianli looked a little worried, but before he could finish speaking, he was pulled away because a challenger had arrived, and one who held six gym badges. According to the league's rules, such a challenger can choose to battle the gym leader, but he needs to pay some money, since gym leaders are very busy. However, since the Petalburg City gym leaders came looking for him, it meant that the challenger had already paid.

"Huh? Someone actually challenged Gym Leader Senri!" Most of the people who come to eat at Heath's restaurant are challengers or apprentices from the dojo, as well as some ordinary citizens. However, the most famous one is Senri, so everyone here knows Mr. Senri. This was within Heath's expectations. The only problem is that Mr. Senri encountered a challenger, which took all these customers away. In an instant, the once lively restaurant became empty.

Heath was somewhat amused and exasperated, but at this moment, the difference between an experienced chef and a new chef became apparent. A new chef might choose to go watch a play, but an experienced chef knew that this was the time to provide food, whether it was snacks or anything else.

"Snacks... but it's too late now." Heath realized she had miscalculated one thing, namely the time. She should have started preparing earlier, since snacks are essential for anyone wanting to do business near the gym.

But now it's too late to seize business. However, Heath didn't care. He has no concept of money now, so whether he makes money or not doesn't matter.

"Looks like I could make some popcorn chicken or something to eat." Heath stroked his chin. Watching other people's gym battles, potato chips and popcorn seemed like good options, and popcorn chicken would work too. After all, it's small and easy to eat, just like popcorn, and it's meat, which is perfect for meat lovers.

"Hey Charizard, wanna go check out the gym battle at the Thousand Miles Gym?" Heath asked, glancing at Charizard who was working out. Charizard had already evolved to its final form, but he still liked to work out. His muscles were getting more and more outrageous. Now Charizard looked like a Machamp wearing a Charizard's skin.

"Go!" Charizard immediately put down the discus in its hand and excitedly came over. Hiss asked about the other Pokémon, but Zoroark wanted to play games with Mew, Snorlax wanted to sleep and practice singing, Farfetch'd planned to practice its cooking skills more today to prepare for the upcoming competition, and only the thoughtful Kirlia was willing to go with Hiss, which moved Hiss to tears.

When Hiss arrived at the gym with Charizard and Kirlia, the main arena was already packed. However, Hiss managed to buy tickets for the inner area so they could watch up close. This is a common way for most gyms to generate revenue, and it's quite reliable, especially for popular gyms like the Hoenn Water-type Gym, where it's always packed whenever Wallace appears.

As a powerful figure who can rival Mikuri, Senri naturally has many fans, so a large number of people attended this battle.

Charizard wasn't released, as the space was too crowded, but fortunately, he could easily watch the battle from inside his Poké Ball. Kirlia also stayed obediently in its Poké Ball, but Heath could feel waves of psychic energy sweeping across the crowd of onlookers from time to time, showing that Kirlia is still a Pokémon with a strong sense of curiosity.

At this moment, the challenger also entered the arena.

Chapter 948 A Few Things About the Battle

Heath watched curiously. He didn't actually know much about Pokémon battles, but after gaining experience and skills in Champion-level battles, he was now considered someone who knew a little. In his opinion, there was still a big gap between Mr. Senri and the challenger opposite him. And as expected, the Iron Fist Pokémon that the opponent had specially trained was ineffective against Senri's Slaking and was defeated miserably by Senri's Slaking, even though Slaking was now Senri's last Pokémon.

This was still a gym battle on flexible difficulty. Heath didn't think this was Senri's strength. Although Slaking was Senri's ace, Senri had held back. Heath could see that Senri was obviously holding back, but even so, the opponent was no match for Senri.

"Mr. Senri didn't use his full strength." Heath clicked his tongue. Of course, he could see that Senri hadn't used his full strength. The Pokémon he used earlier were all very ordinary Pokémon, and they were also not very well trained. But the last one, Slaking, was one of Senri's main Pokémon. Even so, the challenger's Iron Fist Warrior was defeated by Slaking, which shocked the surrounding crowd.

Heath even overheard a child asking his father why the Fighting-type Iron Fist Warrior couldn't beat the Normal-type Slacker. Their teacher said that type advantage was very important, and finding the type advantage would make the battle much easier. He even recited a type advantage chart on the spot.

Type advantage is a crucial element. Heath remembered Ash telling him this. According to Ash, type advantage is a required course after entering Pokémon School. As the Normal-type Gym Leader, Senri is best at using Normal-type Pokémon, so most people would choose to use Fighting-type Pokémon to deal with him. Ironhide is a Fighting-type Pokémon, so theoretically it should have been a rampage, but in reality, Ironhide was rampaged by Slaking.

While type advantages and disadvantages are strong, they are not absolute. For example, Groudon, as a legendary Ground-type Pokémon, is weak to Water, Grass, and Ice, but you can't expect a Magikarp to easily defeat Groudon from a higher level. If that were the case, there would be no point in the world. Everyone would just need to prepare Pokémon of various types and see who goes second. The one who goes second would definitely win, as long as the Pokémon they prepare have type advantages over the opponent.

"That Slaking is very strong; it wasn't using its full strength." Charizard gave his opinion, and Heath nodded. He also felt that Slaking wasn't using its full strength. After all, the opponent looked too relaxed, extremely relaxed, just like doing morning exercises without any pressure. Even though it was facing Iron Fist Warrior, who had already taken the opportunity to bodybuilder three times, the opponent was still very relaxed. The difference in strength was too great.

"Mr. Senri probably only goes all out when facing Wallace and other Gym Leaders, right?" Heath stroked his chin. Flexible difficulty is a way to help novice trainers boost their confidence and gain battle experience. After all, it's impossible to expect these newcomers to be able to take on full-strength Gym Leaders right away. It would be good enough if they could even handle new Gym Apprentices.

Not every trainer can be like Ash, challenging the Rock Gym with Pikachu, winning a medal, and even gaining Brock's approval. Most people would be discouraged by gym apprentices if they couldn't even remember type matchups. Being a trainer is also about talent, unless you come from a good family, have a strict teacher, and have rich training experience.

If it weren't for Professor Oak taking care of the Pokémon that were released, Ash wouldn't be able to use them whenever he wanted. Pokémon need training, and even Cynthia, the champion, often trains her Pokémon to keep them in competitive condition.

The challenge was over, but Mr. Senri still awarded the Normal-type Gym Badge. The opponent was quite strong and had his own tactical ideas. The reason for the loss was simply that the training was not yet up to par. However, according to Senri's judgment, the opponent was qualified to receive this Gym Badge. However, he had seen the trainer's trainer cards and found that the opponent only had the Water-type Gym Badge missing, in addition to his own. Looking into the opponent's eyes, Senri knew that the opponent would definitely challenge Wallace, the Gym Leader of the Water-type Gym.

"The Water-type Gym Leader, Wallace, is very strong, even stronger than me. If you want to challenge him, you should train your Pokémon more first." Qianli said earnestly to the other party, who nodded seriously. After battling with Qianli, he realized how ignorant and ridiculous he had been before. Even so, he still wanted to challenge the Gym Leader, as this would be a valuable experience, and he didn't want to give up.

Upon hearing this, Heath glanced at Thousand Miles and frankly said that starting this year, anyone who challenges Wallace will be in luck. After all, Wallace will become the champion of the Hoenn region in a while. Once he becomes the champion, he won't be someone you can challenge casually. The league champion will get a chance to battle the champion once a year, but only once a year, and only one person can challenge Wallace at a time. Apart from that, only those who have defeated the Elite Four can challenge champion-level trainers.

So if it were Heath himself, he would even want to download and save the video of his fight against Mikkelsen, because it was a video of him fighting the champion, which was already quite remarkable.

However, Hiss wasn't interested in battling. Otherwise, he felt he might not lose to Wallace in a battle. Farfetch'd alone would be enough to leave Wallace bewildered, much like Ash's encounter with Water-absorbing Charizard. After all, Farfetch'd only takes weakness damage now, and other types of damage don't affect it. Hiss even thought that if he had caught a Normal-type Pokémon back then, he would have been even more invincible.

"Let's go, the battle is over, and the guests should be coming back for dinner soon." Heath yawned. Having finished watching the battle, he figured the guests should be getting something to eat soon, so he took his Poké Ball and followed the crowd out of Petalburg Gym, returning to his food cart.

Chapter 949 Naruto

Not long after returning to the dining car, the guests came in. Just as Heath had expected, everyone was enthusiastically discussing the battle they had just witnessed. Being able to see Mr. Senri send out Slave King was already worth the price of admission. Some people even almost got into a fight because of their discussion about just how strong Mr. Senri was, which made Heath both amused and exasperated. Fortunately, they quickly calmed down, which was probably related to the fact that Heath's dining car was parked not far from the Officer Jenny building. Heath warmly welcomed the guests.

"Hello, do you have dry pot shrimp? I'm a little hungry." A somewhat familiar voice made Hiss pause for a moment. After all, Kirlia usually went to serve customers directly, and it was rare for customers to come to him. However, when Hiss looked up, he realized that there were just too many customers now, and Kirlia was already a bit overwhelmed. In addition, this man rushed over, so Kirlia didn't have time to serve him before he came to Hiss. Hiss didn't mind, since Kirlia was indeed very busy, so it was normal to encounter such situations sometimes.

Heath doesn't mind serving guests himself, or rather, he serves guests himself most of the time. Before Kirlia came out to work as a waiter, Heath often had to serve guests himself. Although Zoroark can transform into those very unique forms, Zoroark can't serve many guests at once.

"Dry pot shrimp? Yes, just a moment." Heath recognized the man; he was the trainer who had just challenged Mr. Senri. The guests also clearly recognized him, and they were all enthusiastically encouraging him. He wasn't very old, probably just coming of age. Although he had just suffered a defeat, his eyes were still bright, showing that the loss hadn't dampened his confidence. This was a good thing, as some guests had previously discussed whether the challenger would lose confidence after being discouraged by Senri.

Hiss thinks this is probably a basic quality of every trainer. After all, it's rare for a trainer to have a smooth journey. Even trainers as strong as Cynthia and Leon have experienced defeats in battle. There are very few trainers who can't lose. After all, there are always stronger trainers out there. So most trainers are actually quite resilient. However, there are also some trainers who are called geniuses who completely collapse after suffering a setback. There are such cases.

Fortunately, the guest in front of us did not have this problem.

However, the customer's order of dry pot shrimp surprised Heath a bit, since no one had ever ordered this dish since the store opened. So this customer was the first to order dry pot shrimp. Dry pot shrimp is actually just stir-fried shrimp, but because there are a lot of ingredients, it looks like a hot pot. However, because there is no water in it, it is not a hot pot, so it is simply called dry pot shrimp. There is actually a lot of debate about this dish.

However, these debates are mostly focused on the portion size of the dry pot shrimp. After all, shrimp is a relatively expensive ingredient, so some vendors may only have 300 grams of shrimp in a 2 kilograms serving of dry pot shrimp, with the rest being other side dishes. Even worse, some dry pot shrimp may only have four or five shrimp in a serving, which is truly unscrupulous.

Heath's version naturally didn't have this problem, and he wouldn't stoop to reducing the amount of shrimp to make money off customers. Heath's portion of shrimp was still quite generous. However, after glancing at the man's head, Heath admitted that he was a little troubled because the man liked sweet food and disliked spicy and salty food. The problem was that dry pot shrimp was basically salty and spicy, and even if it was made non-spicy, it would still be somewhat salty. But the man didn't like salty and spicy food, which really put Heath in a difficult position.

It's not strange to like sweets, but it's a bit odd to like sweet dishes. Sweet and sour pork ribs are nice, but who can stand eating them every day? And while sweet shrimp is acceptable, what about the side dishes? Sweet potatoes, sweet cauliflower, etc., all sound very strange.

After hesitating for a long time, Heath decided to cook the dish his own way. Although it wouldn't perfectly suit the guests' tastes, there was no other way, because it was indeed difficult to make dry-pot shrimp sweet. In fact, when the guests started eating, Heath found that their expressions didn't change strangely, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. This time, he didn't make it sweet, but he also didn't make it salty or spicy. It was basically a very light flavor, and fortunately, the guests could accept it.

[You entertained the Hokage, and you obtained a miraculous meteorite fragment *1]

"?" Hiss slowly typed out a question mark. Good heavens, entertaining the Hokage? When did he entertain the Hokage? Did he just find Hashirama Senju? Tobirama Senju? Hiruzen Sarutobi or Minato Namikaze? It couldn't possibly be Kakashi, Tsunade, and Naruto, could it? And wasn't he in Orange Blossom City? When did he end up in Konoha?

However, Heath immediately discovered a blind spot: the only person he had just served was that challenger, Hokage, which was probably his name. But the name was really strange; he didn't know why.

"Wait, Naruto... that name sounds familiar." Heath stroked his chin, lost in thought. He remembered seeing the name Naruto somewhere, but he couldn't recall exactly where. It certainly wasn't in the Naruto manga, so where exactly had he seen this name? Heath was puzzled.

After hesitating for a moment, Hiss took out the ingredient detector and shone it on the Hokage, showing some curiosity.

[The Hokage is a human, poisonous and edible. He is a member of the Magma Team, possessing considerable strength and potential. Rumor has it that the Magma Team's leader, Akame, intends to train the Hokage to see if he can become one of the team's executives. Because he is of the same species, consumption will likely result in death due to prions. It is advised not to consume him.]

Heath didn't read the last part; of course he knew he couldn't eat it. But the earlier news was quite interesting. No wonder the other person's name sounded familiar; it turned out he was from Team Lava and might even become one of their officers in the future.

Chapter 950 Apple-Scented Meteorite Fragments

Heath only remembered some of the more important figures, and the reason he remembered the Hokage, a high-ranking officer of Team Magma, was because of the name. After all, the name Hokage was just too dramatic, so Heath naturally remembered some things about him. In Heath's memory, this Hokage was an officer who only appeared in a special episode and hadn't appeared in the main game, making him a very special person. But he never expected to encounter him now, and the thing he was given was so peculiar—meteorite fragments? He had no idea what these things were for.

[Amazing Meteorite Fragment: This is a meteorite fragment from outer space. It has a crisp texture and a green apple flavor, and it's one of Rayquaza's favorite foods.]

Heath's lips twitched. Good heavens, he hadn't expected to be given such a fragment this time. This was indeed quite strange. Heath had never heard of such a thing before. Speaking of Rayquaza, Heath thought of the woman who had eaten at his restaurant once before. She was Rayquaza, and what she ate was indeed a meteorite. He had to retrieve it from outer space using Hoopa's golden ring. Rayquaza never came back after that.

However, this is quite normal. After all, Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon that flies in the ozone layer and seems to have some ability to regulate the climate. For example, when Groudon and Kyogre cause trouble, Rayquaza usually goes to suppress and mediate. So Hiss thinks that Rayquaza should have some ability to regulate the climate.

However, Groudon and Kyogre's abilities became much stronger after Primal Reversion. But Hiss remembers that Rayquaza should also be able to continue to adjust the weather. After all, Rayquaza's strength is undeniable; it is a very powerful legendary Pokémon. Among the three legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, Rayquaza should be ranked first in strength, and there is no doubt about that.

The Pokémon Ruby series is quite rare among the main series because it features three legendary Pokémon. Most Pokémon games feature two legendary Pokémon, such as Gold and Silver and Sword and Shield. Of course, it's also possible that the three-legendary-gods concept led to the inclusion of three legendary Pokémon in later games, such as the time-space duo and Arceus, as well as Black and White.

In addition, Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region, is also the most unique among all the champions. Because he felt that the champion position was hindering his hobbies, he simply gave up the championship and handed it over to his friend. Although Hiss knows that most champions are somewhat irresponsible, Steven's unique champion status makes him an outlier among outliers.

"A meteorite fragment, such a big piece..." Heath looked at the meteorite fragment in the cabinet and his mouth twitched. This thing was too big. Although it was called a fragment, it looked like a large pumpkin. However, considering that this thing was for Rayquaza to eat, Heath became calm. After all, Rayquaza is so big, such a meteorite fragment is enough for it to eat, right?

Heath put the meteorite fragment away. It had no other use for him, since he wasn't a meteorite collector. But perhaps it could be used for something else, like entertaining Rayquaza. However, Heath didn't know when Rayquaza would come, so he didn't bother with it. Anyway, he could just use the meteorite fragment to entertain Rayquaza when he came for dinner, which would save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he would have to use Hoopa's Golden Ring to search for it again, which would be very troublesome.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. After the busy lunchtime, Heath closed up shop. There were a lot of customers today; the location next to the gym was indeed prime. Heath had originally planned to drive his food truck around the Hoenn region the next day, as he was quite interested in it. However, considering that Chiri was bringing his daughter May for lunch, Heath gave up on that idea. After serving Chiri and May, Heath would consider whether to drive his food truck to other parts of Hoenn.

After all, the Gem & Jewel series is one of Heath's favorite games, and Heath is also very interested in Meteor Falls. When Heath played the game before, he once encountered a Mew in Meteor Falls, which made Heath very excited. He had to empty all the orbs on its body to catch it. At that time, Heath was only level 30-something. Unfortunately, that save file was overwritten by someone else, which made Heath depressed for a while.

"Old Charizard, why do you look so serious?" Heath finished cleaning and returned to the lounge. As soon as he entered, he saw Charizard standing there with a large bucket of water in his hand, seemingly deep in thought. His expression was very serious, which made Heath pause, wondering what Charizard was thinking.

"After watching that battle today, I think even if I went up against that Slaking, I probably still couldn't beat it." Charizard carried the bucket to the cleaning area, then lifted the bucket and poured it over itself. A large bucket of water was poured down, and the flames on Charizard's body flickered several times before it was barely stabilized and not extinguished.

Hiss scratched his head. He knew that Charizard was very competitive and had an obsession with becoming stronger. It could be said that if such a Charizard appeared by Ash's side, it would be a good thing, since Ash's dream was to become a Pokémon Master. However, if it appeared by his side, it would be a bit of a problem, since Hiss had no special interest in becoming a Pokémon Trainer. He was just a chef, not a trainer.

"Mr. Qianli is a very professional trainer, but how do you know if you can do it if you haven't even tried?" Hiss comforted Charizard. Charizard trains every day, and this method of pouring water on itself is also a form of training, a relatively unique training method, which is to train Charizard's water-type resistance to attacks.

Although Charizard doesn't have the Water Absorb ability, constantly taking hits can increase its resistance to specific types. This is something Cynthia herself concluded, and Cynthia and the others actually do the same. Sometimes, withstanding the opponent's attacks is a way to win.

"Can I fight?" Charizard asked excitedly. Heath scratched his head. Fight against Chiri? That wasn't a problem. Heath figured Chiri wouldn't mind, since he had to come for dinner tomorrow.

Chapter 951 Zoroark's Little Intentions.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be obliging," and Hiss felt that it shouldn't be a problem to have Chiri battle him once. Besides, it wasn't a gym battle; it was just Charizard trying it out to see if it could defeat Chiri. However, Hiss could understand Charizard's feelings. After all, Chiri's battles were very artistic and entertaining. Watching any high-level trainer command a battle was a very pleasant experience. Moreover, each trainer had a different personal style. For example, Cynthia's fighting style was very aggressive, wide-open, and she crushed her opponents in a fair and square manner, which was quite the kingly style.

The battle of Qianli highlights a change in rhythm. When Slaking starts, he is as fierce as a raging fire, but when he rests, he slows down rapidly, making it hard to lose focus and very captivating.

Heath didn't care. Although he now had Champion-level battle experience and skills, he wouldn't care even if he didn't, because he was confident in Charizard's strength. After all, it was Charizard, a powerful creature. Moreover, Heath himself had given Charizard a power boost by feeding it so many candies. It could be said that Charizard's strength was among the strongest of all Charizards at the moment. While Senri was indeed strong, Senri was not a Champion or an Elite Four member. Charizard could even hold its own against Cynthia's Garchomp, let alone Slaking, which was capable of dealing with Senri.

Slaking is a Pokémon that is strong, but it is very difficult to use effectively. The difficulty is extremely high, not just ordinary. Most trainers would experience a sense of despair if they tried to train Slaking. This type of Pokémon is really too difficult to train, and mastering the rhythm of its attacks is even more difficult. It is probably only a Gym Leader like Senri, who specializes in Normal-type Pokémon, who knows how to train Slaking.

"But speaking of which, if those players who really enjoyed playing Pokémon battles in their previous lives were to travel here, could they become excellent trainers?" Heath looked at the excited Charizard and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It has to be said that this is a very interesting question. In his previous life, there were Pokémon competitions with complete rules and champions. These players could easily defeat the champions in the game. But what if they came to this world?

Heath felt it was a bit risky. After all, in his previous life, Pokémon only had four moves, but in this world, there were no restrictions on Pokémon moves. As long as they learned them, they could be used. It seemed to liberate the players' battle strategies, but it was also a challenge. It wasn't easy to remember every move of your Pokémon, and Pokémon training was also a problem. Pokémon had their own thoughts and ideas; they would be happy, cry, make a fuss, and throw tantrums, all of which were difficult.

"Trainer." Just as Hiss was about to continue chatting with Charizard, Zoroark grabbed his sleeve. Hiss was a little confused and opened his sleeve to grab Zoroark. Wasn't this guy just happily playing a game with Mew? And it was Street Fighter, which had only been out for a short time. He didn't expect him to come over here now.

"What's wrong?" Hiss asked Zoroark with some confusion. Mew next to him was looking at him and Zoroark with a strange look. Apart from that, all the other Pokémon were normal, which made Hiss even more confused about what Zoroark was trying to do.

"Um... I... I'm on duty tomorrow, right?" Zoroark asked hesitantly. Hiss nodded. According to his rotation system, today it was Kirlia's turn, so tomorrow it was indeed Zoroark's turn. But why was Zoroark asking this? Did Zoroark think Kirlia was doing too well and didn't want to do it anymore?

"I just wanted to ask, I didn't do as well as Kirlia, but could you please not deduct my salary? I'll try my best!" Zoroark seemed worried that Hiss would deduct all her salary, which surprised Hiss. He thought it was something serious, but it was just this? If he had known it was like this, Hiss wouldn't have been worried. He thought Zoroark was planning to push the work onto Kirlia, and given the relationship between Zoroark and Kirlia, if Zoroark really did that, Kirlia definitely wouldn't refuse.

"Don't worry, I won't dock your pay." Hiss was quite calm. After all, Kirlia was a Psychic Pokémon, and with her psychic powers, entertaining guests was naturally a breeze for her. Hiss even thought that when Kirlia evolved into Gardevoir in the future, her entertaining abilities would improve even further. After all, Gardevoir was also an incredibly powerful Pokémon, and with its psychic powers increased, Hiss believed that Gardevoir could easily handle a restaurant full of guests.

Zoroark breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She had been worried that if she didn't perform as well as Kirlia, the trainer might deduct her salary. However, Zoroark didn't feel any jealousy or negative emotions towards Kirlia. After all, Zoroark knew that Kirlia's feelings for the trainer were very deep, no less than her own, and she wanted to do her best to help. The problem was that Kirlia was a Dark-type Pokémon and couldn't learn Psychic abilities, otherwise she could be like Kirlia.

Having resolved Zoroark's minor troubles, Hiss lay in bed and chatted on the phone with Cynthia. However, during the call, Hiss learned that the crime rate in the Sinnoh region had increased, and it seemed that a dark organization was behind it all. Hiss subconsciously thought of Team Galactic, since Team Galactic was the villain in the Sinnoh region.

"I think you should keep a close eye on that Cynthia. There's a guy in your Sinnoh region named Red Sun. I have a bad feeling about him. He might be connected to those dark organizations." Cynthia said briefly. Red Sun, a well-known wealthy businessman in the Sinnoh region, was the backer of Team Galactic.

“Red Sun? I remember him, he’s one of the league’s sponsors… but I’ll investigate him.” Although Cynthia was somewhat confused, she chose to trust her lover.

Heath nodded. The Suns were well hidden, and the Galactic Team was like a rat in the dark. Once the League noticed them, it would be difficult for them to shake off the League's pursuit. Heath was confident in this, after all, the League was the sun high in the sky.

Chapter 952 Holiday Time

The next morning, Heath woke up late. He wasn't opening for business that morning because Qianli had mentioned bringing her child, Xiaoyao, to visit him. Heath decided to clear this time, otherwise, if customers found out Qianli was there, it might cause some trouble. Qianli was incredibly popular, and her presence would act as an advertisement, attracting her fans to come and eat at his restaurant. So, Heath chose to close from morning until noon, essentially taking a day off.

After all, Heath hadn't had a vacation in a long time. Since transmigrating, Heath had been extremely busy every day, so busy that he wished he could cut himself in two to keep busy. Therefore, Heath envied the world of Naruto. If he could transmigrate to the world of Naruto and obtain the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, then the problem would be easily solved, and he wouldn't be so busy. At that time, he could become the labor force of the entire restaurant by himself.

It has to be said that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is simply a divine skill. Even if used for part-time work, one person could earn the wages of hundreds or thousands of people. What does that mean? One year of work could achieve financial freedom. Of course, having so many people working in the same city at the same time would easily be discovered, making it somewhat troublesome to use in urban areas. However, there wouldn't be so many concerns if used in the world of Naruto. In that case, Hiss thinks it's a huge loss that Kakuzu hasn't learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. If Kakuzu had, his earning speed would have increased significantly.

Unfortunately, Heath has come to the world of Pokémon, where there is no clone technique, so Heath has to come alone. The fact that she is taking a break now is also a last-minute decision by Heath herself. After all, although she is happy to work every day and entertaining guests is very interesting, she is also a person, not a machine, and she gets tired. So she feels that taking a break occasionally is not a big deal.

“This little guy…” Looking at Zoroark sleeping next to her, Heath shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to get up, she felt something bump into her. Looking up, she saw Kirlia, who was lying on her chest, looking at her with her big, watery eyes. Seeing this, Heath inexplicably thought of the book Zoroark had bought before, the novel called “My Gardevoir Has a Big Root.” The cover of the book showed a Gardevoir lying on a person whose face was not visible. It was said to be designed to increase the reader’s sense of immersion, and it had to be said that it was quite effective.

Heath remembered a very special anime before his transmigration. Each episode was very short, but it was still very popular and received almost perfect scores. The reason was that the perspective was first-person, which made it easy for viewers to immerse themselves in the story and develop feelings for the cute female characters. There was no dialogue from the main character; the entire story only featured female characters, allowing viewers to express their own thoughts and feelings.

With high ratings and three seasons, it's quite a unique animation. The novel illustrations, where the protagonist's face isn't visible, also make it easy for readers to immerse themselves in the story.

"Heath, good morning!" Kirlia looked into Heath's eyes and said with a smile. Heath chuckled and ruffled Kirlia's hair, then took out his phone and glanced at it. It was 7:30 in the morning. Although Heath had said he was going to sleep in today, for Heath, who was an early riser every day, sleeping until 7:30 was already considered sleeping in.

"Good morning, Kirullian... Aren't you going to sleep... yawn... take a nap?" Heath yawned, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes. This wasn't Heath crying because he was upset, but because Heath yawned. He always yawned and his eyes would well up with tears, and he didn't know why.

"No, I'm not sleepy." Kirullian shook her head; she was wide awake.
