I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"What's wrong? Are you getting a little restless seeing your older sister?" Officer Jenny walked over with a smile and pinched Heath's cheek.

"No, I have no such thoughts at all." Heath quickly waved her hand, knowing that if she didn't refuse, who knew what strange things this old driver might do.

Officer Jenny smiled and opened her arms in a hugging gesture, even deliberately puffing out her chest. However, Heath immediately turned and left. He knew this old rogue's personality all too well; if he stood there awkwardly or seemed flustered, she would definitely make a quick move.

"Hmph, little Heath is so cold." Officer Shalana said indignantly from behind, but perhaps thinking of Officer Shalana's punishment yesterday, she still didn't dare to make any move.

Heath arrived at the classroom where he had studied last time with trepidation, and continued to sit inside and read his book. However, this time Yunjira was not there. Heath figured that Yunjira had probably already finished his first subject exam.

“This book is way too thick… Even if I follow Yunjira’s learning method, it will still take me a long time to learn.” Heath sighed, then lifted Zoroa off his head and placed him on a chair next to him.

Zoroah, who looked like a caterpillar, was instantly disliked. A girl next to him silently moved a few steps to the right after seeing Zoroah, distancing herself from Heath and Zoroah.

Heath naturally noticed this scene, but he didn't feel anything about it. Instead, he continued to study his book quickly. After a while, a teacher came up to the stage to explain some of the difficult points in the exam questions.

Heath listened attentively, though he found it boring, but he had to endure it in order to be able to travel by car on his own.

"Oh, right, I need to mention something on this point." The teacher drew a picture on the blackboard, a cartoon image of a three-horned mole, along with a prohibition symbol.

"Let a few diligent students tell us what to do when they encounter this sign on the road?" the teacher asked with a smile. Heath stroked his chin; he really hadn't seen this picture before. Could it be traffic information from the back of the textbook?

"Anyway, banning Dugtrio from driving is out of the question. How could a Pokémon like Dugtrio possibly drive?" Heath confirmed to himself.

Chapter 62 Become my partner, Charmander!

“I think there are three groups of ground squirrels ahead, so we should avoid them!” A middle-aged man stood up and said with great certainty.

Heath thought what the other person said made a lot of sense. After all, the appearance of a Pokémon like Dugtrio meant that the ground was dug up and full of holes, so Dugtrio and Diglett could be considered harmful Pokémon to some extent.

Especially in towns and inhabited areas, it is often necessary to install gopher repellent devices to prevent gophers from running over, burrowing, and digging up the foundations of houses. Such incidents have happened before.

Heath had previously seen news reports of people's houses collapsing due to digging by three-horned rats, and then the League's experts came out to remind everyone to buy gopher repellent devices.

However, it's impossible to install such equipment on every road in the wild.

However, Diglett is a very popular Pokémon in agriculture, as it can help loosen the soil and is a good partner for farmers.

"No, that's not what I meant." The teacher shook his head, and the students continued to murmur amongst themselves.

Heath was somewhat surprised; he had assumed it was the answer the man had given, but it turned out to be something else entirely.

"Is it that driving with three-horned moles is prohibited? Or are there no moles ahead?" A girl stood up and asked curiously, but the teacher shook her head.

Now Heath was also intrigued; he was genuinely curious about the answer to this question.

"This is a real question from last month's theory test. The correct answer is actually this." The teacher smiled and pointed to the question on the blackboard. Heath suddenly realized that it was a question that had only appeared recently.

"You need to slow down and proceed cautiously ahead," the teacher said earnestly. The other students in the classroom nodded immediately, and Heath nodded as well.

But then Heath realized something was wrong: what did the three moles have to do with slowing down the passage?

"We previously discovered a group of unusual tridinks on the road near the gopher burrow. When faced with vehicles traveling at speeds exceeding 40 kilometers per hour, they would engage in a race against the car," the teacher said earnestly.

Heath stared blankly at the teacher, wondering if he was some kind of comedy show comedian. Why would the three moles be speeding?

"Those three-wheeled rats exhibited a chasing behavior towards high-speed vehicles. They would often chase the vehicle by quickly digging holes until they overtook it or it disappeared from sight, which caused a lot of trouble for the Alliance's road maintenance." The teacher continued explaining, and Heath couldn't help but shake his head.

This was the first time in his life that Heath had heard of Pokémon that could race cars, but thinking that the Pokémon world was full of wonders, Heath calmed down a lot. He had even seen Pikachu that could surf, so a mere racing Dugtrio was nothing to worry about.

Heath was somewhat looking forward to the future, hoping that he could perhaps arrange a match with the three moles on Mount Akina.

The teacher then explained a past exam question from last month, which made Heath's lips twitch.

[Single Choice Question: When you are driving on the road and suddenly see a wild, rare, protected Pokémon appear in front of or behind you, what is the correct thing to do?]

[A: See that Pokémon? Run into it! You'll receive a ticket to spend your life in jail!]

[B: Quickly aim and throw the Poké Ball]

[C: It's time to show off your skills as a veteran driver! Drift to avoid the obstacle!]

【D: Honk the horn to scare away wild Pokémon. If you cannot scare them away, press the emergency evasive button on your car.】

"I think anyone would choose D for this kind of question, right? It's practically a free point." Heath shook his head. If you can get this kind of question wrong, then you really have no chance of getting a driver's license.

The answer was indeed D, just as Heath had expected. However, many people had chosen B, which puzzled Heath a little, but he soon understood.

After all, Pokémon shrink when they enter a Poké Ball, which theoretically can help them avoid being run over by a car, but only if you throw it accurately, otherwise it won't work.

Heath spent the entire afternoon studying, constantly reshaping his worldview. Now, Heath is numb; he feels that even if he saw a Slowpoke drifting in a car one day, Heath wouldn't have any significant psychological impact.

"I feel like this driver's license test is really hard to pass. I hope I can pass it on the first try." Heath sighed and then got into his food cart.

Soraya was already asleep. He had fallen asleep while the teacher was lecturing, and was sleeping soundly. Fortunately, he wasn't snoring, which made Heath feel a little more at ease.

Heath set a destination. He had just received a message from Miss Joyce in class. The little dragon had woken up after treatment and Heath needed to go there to complete the capture procedures.

For this reason, Hiss even bought a Poké Ball. This was Hiss's second Poké Ball, which was originally meant for Zoroark. However, the little guy disliked Poké Balls very much, so Hiss had to give up on the idea.

When Heath arrived at the Pokémon Center, she saw a somewhat tired Nurse Joy.

"Miss Joey! I'm here to fill out some paperwork." Heath took out a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and handed it to Joey Xue.

"I've been waiting for you, Heath. Your little fire dragon's injuries are really quite serious." Joyce smiled as she took the jianbing guozi, but she didn't rush to eat it. Instead, she talked to Heath as they walked.

Heath nodded. He knew, of course, that Charmander's injuries were very serious; Charmander had almost died.

"However, the most serious injury was caused by the Scald move. Charmander's skin damage was very severe. If it weren't for Blissey's strength, it probably wouldn't have survived." Joyce explained briefly.

Heath paused for a moment. Hot Water is a very difficult move to master. It seems that the enthusiastic citizen is very likely a Pokémon hunter.

Heath and Joyce went to the office to get the adoption documents, and then went to Charmander's hospital room. Charmander was lying on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped in gauze.

The Charmander doesn't look like a Charmander anymore; it looks more like a Pokémon I've never seen before, though its lively eyes still look quite spirited.

"If you can catch Charmander with the ball, then you can complete the adoption procedures." Qiao Yixue stood aside, she hadn't eaten her jianbing guozi yet.

Heath was a little nervous. He walked over and looked at the little dragon in front of him. The little dragon was also looking at him seriously, its eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.

"Little Charmander...would you like to be my partner?" Heath asked softly.

Chapter 63 What is the most difficult dish to prepare?

The little dragon, wrapped in gauze, looked at Heath, its large eyes filled with inexplicable emotions. Heath wasn't a master of facial expression analysis, so he couldn't decipher the meaning in the little dragon's eyes.

However, Heath keenly sensed that Charmander seemed to be hesitant, and Heath happened to know some of the reason for Charmander's hesitation, so Heath leaned close to Charmander's ear.

“Hydra…no, don’t worry, I’m not the last trainer, I don’t have that kind of hobby that makes you torture me.” Heath said softly, and Charmander looked at Heath in surprise.

Then Charmander slowly nodded, and Joyce smiled with relief. She helped Heath sign a series of procedures, and the treatment costs were waived. Once Charmander recovered, Heath could take it away.

“We’ll be partners from now on, Charmander.” Heath looked at Charmander happily. If Joy hadn’t said that Charmander couldn’t be touched right now, Heath would have wanted to go up and pat Charmander’s head.

"Sigh, yet another unlucky soul has been fooled by you." Zoroia sighed, his tone filled with indignation on behalf of Charmander.

Heath chuckled and rubbed Zoroa's face; it was soft and felt wonderful to the touch. This little guy was really something; even though he was a cook, he was still quite fond of Pokémon.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Heath rode his food cart back to his dorm. He didn't work out at night, as he needed to exercise and learn some basic knowledge under Officer Jenny's supervision.

Heath thought he could try entertaining guests in the evenings from now on, since he had found a barbecue grill on his food truck. With these things, he could make barbecue, which was the perfect choice for a late-night snack.

Although barbecuing is simple, it's not easy to make it delicious. Looking at the cabinet in his food cart, Heath decided to make some preparations in advance tomorrow.

When Heath returned to the dorm, she saw Sister Feng lying on the sofa looking at her phone, seemingly making a video call. When she saw Heath come in, Sister Feng quickly put away her phone and wiped her eyes.

"Good evening, Feng-jie. Would you like something to eat?" Heath put down her things, then looked at Officer Jenny while holding Zoroia and asked.

"I was wondering why you hadn't come back for so long. Turns out you went to Joey Xue's place." Jun Shafeng smiled at Heath. Heath noticed Jun Shafeng's red eyes, but he didn't say anything.

“Yeah, I ran into a little trouble. I have my third Pokémon now.” Heath rubbed his nose smugly, and Officer Jenny couldn’t help but laugh.

"Three Pokémon? Congratulations, you've got three bottomless pits that require a lot of money to invest." Officer Jenny said with a smile, while Heath looked a little conflicted.

Officer Jenny's words make a lot of sense. After all, the most expensive aspect of Pokémon is actually the training. The difference in battle power between the same Pokémon depending on how well it is trained.

Even disregarding the cost of raising three Pokémon, the daily food for them alone is an expense. Fortunately, Heath can cook, so this expense can be reduced to some extent.

Looking at Officer Jenny, who was chatting with her so confidently, Heath felt a bit conflicted. Perhaps it was because Officer Jenny usually acted too strongly and was very much a tomboy, which often made Heath forget something.

Jenny is only twenty-four years old this year.

At twenty-four, Heath remembers that he had just graduated and was being toughened up by society before starting work, worrying about his life and future every day.

However, at the age of 24, Jun Shafeng was already a member of the Changqing City brigade, but Sister Feng usually hid her vulnerable side.

In the end, Heath decided to cook hot pot. When in doubt, hot pot is the go-to choice, which is a common practice for Heath and Officer Jenny, since Officer Jenny is quite indifferent to food.

Heath felt that Officer Jenny would like anything that could fill her stomach.

"Hey, Da Long Ya, what do you think of this hot pot?" Heath chatted with Da Long Ya, who was eating lotus root slices next to him, while eating his sliced ​​beef.

"Congcong thinks this hot pot is delicious, but it's a little too spicy, and it gave him a stomachache." Solomon lay peacefully to the side, tearing into the beef in front of him. The beef from Hissche was of moderate thickness and very chewy.

However, seeing that no missions had been triggered, Heath was a little annoyed. He hoped that the next mission for Farfetch'd would be simple and not too difficult.

"Heath, Farfetch'd is really learning?" Officer Jenny looked at Farfetch'd with curiosity. When she first heard that Farfetch'd was planning to learn to cook, Officer Jenny didn't quite believe it.

But Officer Jenny was shocked when she saw Farfetch'd show off its knife skills in front of her. She had heard of people who used Pokémon to battle to become stronger, to treat Pokémon as family members, and to treat Pokémon as friends.

There are people who use Pokémon for bad things, make money from Pokémon, or torture and abuse Pokémon, but I've never heard of anyone teaching Pokémon to cook.

Especially since it's a Farfetch'd! A Pokémon that comes with its own seasoning!

"Hmm, the leek duck is doing pretty well now, he can make roast duck now, the taste is just average," Heath said calmly.

The leek duck puffed out its chest proudly, holding its leek, making it look like an ancient general's investiture ceremony.

"Hey Heath, what do you think is the hardest dish to make? Can you learn to make scallion duck?" Officer Jenny smiled at the scallion duck and then asked curiously.

Heath paused for a moment. The most difficult dish? This question is indeed a bit difficult. After all, there are many difficult dishes in the world. The most difficult one must be to perfectly replicate the taste of one's mother, which is basically a matter of metaphysics.

The taste of mom's cooking is actually a taste that has been processed and beautified countless times in our memories. What people pursue is not the taste itself, but the person who cooked it. If they accidentally eat a dish that tastes similar, some older people may even shed tears.

However, if we only consider the difficulty level...

“There are too many difficult dishes, but I think there’s one called ‘Sanbuzhan’ (Three No-Sticks) that’s quite troublesome to make.” Heath shrugged. He had made Sanbuzhan once, and after that, he never wanted to make it again.

[Pokémon Chef Step 4: Teach Farfetch'd to make a Three-No-Stick dish on its own, and you will receive a special reward]

Heath paused for a moment, then turned to look at Farfetch'd with a puzzled expression. The guy had a very confident look on his face.
