I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Favorite flavor: Spicy and salty

Disliked taste: Blandness

[My requirements for food: I want to eat a bowl of spicy and flavorful longevity noodles, preferably with rabbit meat as well]

Looking at the old man's taste, Heath touched his nose. Goodness, this request really left people speechless. However, it seems that older people generally have stronger tastes, which is understandable. As older people's sense of taste declines, they can only taste the flavor of food if the flavors are stronger, so it is not surprising that they like to eat this kind of food.

Chapter 1069 The Problem of Taste Buds

As people age, not only do their appearances change, but their bodies also undergo tremendous changes. On the one hand, aging leads to a decline in physical fitness, and on the other hand, it causes problems with the taste buds. Many foods that ordinary people find very salty may seem bland to older people. This is not because older people have a strong palate, but because if they want to enjoy the same taste as younger people, they need to make their palates stronger. Only in this way can they taste the same flavor.

Heath started cooking. The first step in making longevity noodles is to roll out the dough to make it chewy and stretch it out a bit so that it meets the requirements for longevity noodles. This step is troublesome and difficult, but it is the only difficult part of making longevity noodles. After that, there are no more difficult parts and it becomes simple. Just cook the noodles and add seasonings. It is not very difficult.

While Heath was busy cooking, Haruka was chatting curiously with the prison staff. After all, her master had told her that there was nothing to learn this time, and that she should just rest or do something else, but it was best not to go too far or to places she wasn't allowed to go. So Haruka simply came over to ask questions, since she was very curious about the mysterious prison.

"Oh? The most unpopular prisoner? Little girl, you've come to the right person." The aunt patted her chest and gave a thumbs up, happily telling Xiaoyao. She quite liked this child; she reminded her of her daughter. Unfortunately, since her daughter grew up, she had been busy with her own affairs and rarely came to see her, which made her feel a little lonely.

So she was quite happy to see a little girl at that moment.

"That prisoner used to be the owner of a cake shop. He was a very dishonest person. He would go back on his word by noon if he made a promise in the morning. Later, he was arrested because of food safety issues..." The old lady had a talent for telling stories. Xiao Yao listened in a daze. Heath smiled after hearing this. He had actually encountered this kind of thing before.

Back then, Heath was riding her electric scooter in the neighborhood when a kid playing on a skateboard suddenly slid it into the driveway. Heath couldn't avoid it and her scooter overturned. The other kid's parents had initially said they would be responsible for repairing the scooter, but then they changed their minds and even accused her of causing her child to have trouble sleeping or being frightened at night. Heath was so angry she almost laughed. After all, it wasn't a serious matter; the scooter only had a small damaged fender, which would cost at most thirty or forty yuan. But the other kid just wouldn't pay for the repairs.

Heath never liked that family again, even though they were also cake sellers.

"Tsk tsk, I still get a little angry thinking about it." Heath shook his head, then calmed himself down and continued rolling out the dough. Before long, he had a bowl of longevity noodles. After cooking them, Heath added a lot of numbing and spicy seasonings according to the old man's taste. However, since the old man was quite old, his stomach probably wouldn't be able to handle it if he ate it. So, Heath chose edible, delicious toxins for the numbing sensation and selected chili peppers with a strong flavor that wouldn't easily harm the body. It could be said that he had considered everything to the extreme.

"That's about enough." Heath wiped his hands. The old man's request wasn't high. Heath mainly thought it was because the prison staff were afraid to prepare it for the old man. After all, eating too much spicy food can be very harmful to the health of the elderly. Heath had even seen people suffer from stomach perforation from eating too much spicy food. It was like eating cheap chili peppers resulted in high surgery costs.

After serving the noodles to the staff, the staff member's expression turned horrified. However, seeing Heath's confident demeanor, they still served it to him. Naturally, everyone was happy with the result; the old man was willing to eat it. Now, all Heath had to do was provide everyone with a bowl of longevity noodles at noon so that everyone could share in the good fortune.

The task wasn't too difficult. After all, most people find eating longevity noodles quite easy. Heath simply divided them into a few basic flavors and that was it. Then, he let the people who came to eat the noodles choose according to their own tastes, and that was it.

"Speaking of which, why not put some seasonings on the outside? Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Heath asked, glancing at the director who was eating noodles. He was curious about this, since if they had done that, the old man would have just made his favorite flavor and eaten it happily.

"It's actually very simple. Doing it that way could easily cause problems. Although most of the people in our prison are forced into this situation by life, there are also some long-term, vicious criminals. Seemingly simple seasonings can become very dangerous in their hands, so now we are very particular about what we eat." The director shrugged helplessly. He hadn't expected the old man's request to be so simple, but giving this authority to the prisoners was absolutely out of the question.

This is a bloody lesson learned through countless incidents since the alliance began managing prisons.

"They're all talented people." Heath sighed and shook his head. This was a really hard thing to put into words. No wonder people say there are a lot of talented people in the world. Heath thought there was a lot of truth to it. It's just that these guys aren't putting their intelligence to good use, which won't do.

After taking the money, Heath left. This special prison had taken Heath quite some time, and it was already afternoon when he came out. However, he had no intention of opening for business. Instead, he planned to rest for a while and go see a movie, which would be a good option. Heath had heard that some interesting movies had been released recently, and it would be nice to go see them now. Besides, he hadn't watched a movie in a long time.

However, as soon as Heath returned to the dining car, she saw someone standing on the sidewalk in front of the car. It was Officer Jenny, who was smiling and waving at Heath.

"Aya-nee? Want to go see a movie?" Heath asked with a smile, and Officer Aya was taken aback when she heard it.

"Hey~ Going to see a movie in broad daylight? So after that, it's going to be a one-stop shop for dinner and a hotel~" Officer Sally asked Heath with a mischievous grin. Heath was speechless. As expected of you, Officer Sally, you really are a seasoned driver. You keep talking about driving, making it impossible for Heath to defend himself.

"Then I'm leaving." Heath shrank back.

Chapter 1070 This world has fallen into nothingness

"You little rascal, are you playing hard to get with your sister?" Officer Jenny chuckled and flicked Heath's forehead. Heath was both amused and exasperated, but it was good that Officer Jenny had come. Heath hadn't seen his family from Viridian City for a long time, so seeing them was a nice thing. At least Heath himself felt it was a rare treat. He knew he would probably continue traveling, and he could still visit the Sinnoh region, since Cynthia was there too. Visiting his girlfriend there would be a good option. The only problem was that Heath didn't know if completing the Fuchsia City mission would trigger the next mission.

Moreover, the task of preparing the divine meal for God is still unfinished, which makes Heath feel somewhat troubled. Usually, apart from time-consuming tasks like preparing elaborate breakfasts, other tasks are not that time-consuming. However, this task of preparing the divine meal for God is very troublesome. Heath has not yet been able to make a suitable appetizer, which is giving him a headache.

"No, no, I just thought you didn't want to come, Sister Ling?" Heath smiled awkwardly, then introduced her disciple, Xiaoyao, to Jun Shaling again. Xiaoyao seemed a little shy, but she still greeted Jun Shaling. Jun Shaling could only back down in the face of such a little girl as Xiaoyao. After all, although she was an experienced courtesan, she knew that she couldn't make lewd jokes in front of children, otherwise she would probably be the first one sent to jail.

"Hmph, brat, I just didn't want to see you during the holidays... By the way, speaking of which, you did a good job with your task today. I heard from Feng that you helped other relatives solve a big problem." Jun Sha Ling glanced at Xiao Yao, then pouted. To be honest, she had some things to say. After all, it was impossible not to drive, but she really couldn't drive right now.

"So-so." Heath smiled awkwardly. He hadn't actually done anything special today. The only reason he needed to go was because the staff didn't dare to provide the old man with spicy food. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Heath to go at all.

“Hmph…” Officer Shalana laughed, but then she fell silent again, and Heath noticed the fleeting pain in her eyes.

Heath remained silent. He knew Officer Jenny's personality and knew that if he forced her to speak, she definitely wouldn't. Only if she was willing to talk would she do so. After all, although Officer Jenny liked to drive, she was also very good at keeping secrets. So if she didn't talk, there was no way to solve the problem. Heath himself was well aware of this, so he didn't say anything and just sat quietly.

"Xiaoyao, take Farfetch'd to the market and buy some bullfrogs. Consider it a test for you during this period." The dining car became quiet. After hesitating for a moment, Heath still told Xiaoyao. He thought that maybe it was because Xiaoyao was here that Aya was too embarrassed to say it, so he simply sent Xiaoyao away. After a moment of surprise, Xiaoyao seemed to understand what Heath meant. She nodded and then went out with Farfetch'd. Instantly, the dining area of ​​the dining car became quiet.

Officer Jenny witnessed this scene. She silently lowered her head and put her hands behind her head. Heath, watching this scene, felt a sense of unease.

“Heath, I…you must be prepared for what I’m about to say, okay?” Officer Jenny raised her head, her eyes bloodshot and red. Heath took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt the air around him become quiet, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him. This feeling made Heath feel suffocated. He even thought of a possibility, but that possibility made Heath feel cold all over.

“Hmm…” Heath nodded, repeatedly telling himself that it wasn’t real, it was fake, it was definitely fake, but his hands were trembling, his vision was shaking, and he felt a little short of breath.

“…Three days ago, we apprehended a group of criminals from Team Galactic. Those guys put up a fierce resistance, and then in the chaos…in the chaos…in the chaos…” Officer Jenny’s voice choked up. She covered her face, her whole body trembling, and even the words she spoke became incoherent. Heath didn’t speak. Officer Jenny covered her face and sobbed silently. The dining car was eerily silent.

"Feng... Feng sacrificed himself..." As Officer Jenny whispered these words, Heath suddenly felt the whole world go dark. When he could see clearly again, he was already lying on the ground, with Officer Jenny crying beside him, her eyes red and swollen. She was calling his name, but Heath couldn't hear anything. He could only feel a ringing in his ears, as if someone was singing dolphin-like high notes through a megaphone. He tried weakly to get up by holding onto the wall, but he only managed to stand up a little before collapsing to the ground again.

Heath lay on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling. He seemed to be able to fall asleep in an instant, and when he woke up again, he would know that it was just a dream. He clutched his chest in pain, the pain of his heart being torn apart made him tremble all over. He opened his mouth in pain, trying to breathe, but the air seemed to be stripped away from him, and he could not feel anything. He was about to suffocate.

"Heath!" Officer Jenny's heart-wrenching voice pulled Heath halfway out of the void of hell, but Heath once again fell into endless nothingness. He could feel nothing and even wanted to block out his memories to stop himself from suffering so much.

Officer Jenny was Heath's family in this world. She was Heath's sister, even like a parent. It was Officer Jenny who saved Heath, who allowed Heath to survive and adapt to this world. In Heath's heart, Officer Jenny was an irreplaceable family member. But at this moment, Heath knew that his family was gone forever, gone forever.

[Your intense sorrow has nourished the Nightmare Flower, which has now completed its final bloom. Please use it within five minutes.]

The appearance of the cheat code instantly focused Heath's attention. He scrambled to his feet. Yes, he still had the Nightmare Flower. Please, Arceus, let the nightmares vanish...

Heath couldn't accept any of this.

Chapter 1071 Nightmare Blossoms

"Kid, are you still alive?" When Heath opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a hospital bed. He was a little confused; he had been busy just a moment ago, how did he end up here? He turned his head in confusion and saw a woman with a rather unusual appearance in front of him. She was looking at him with concern. Her face seemed somewhat familiar, but Heath couldn't remember where he had seen her before. However, he didn't think too much about it. He didn't know why he was in the hospital; he guessed he had been too busy and had fainted. He didn't know how much it would cost, or if his medical insurance would cover it. If his condition was serious, he might as well give up on treatment.

"I..." Heath was about to get up and thank the kind person who brought him to the hospital when he noticed something red and white on the other person's waist. The other person also seemed to be wearing a police uniform, which made Heath realize something was wrong, since he noticed that the other person's waist seemed to be a Poké Ball.

Is this some kind of prank show? That was Heath's first thought.

But when Heath discovered a Growlithe, his worldview crumbled.

"I am Jenny, do you still know who you are?" Jenny asked the little boy in front of her. Heath covered his head, not knowing what to say. He also found that he seemed to have become younger, a child, like himself when he was young. However, he had no memory of this time, no memory of this world, so he could only pretend to have amnesia. In doing so, he also learned his new identity: Heath, a child who survived a serious car accident.

“How pitiful… Heath, if you don’t have any family, would you be willing to live with me for now?” Officer Jenny smiled and extended her hand. Heath hesitated for a moment, but still took the hand. If the other party was Miss Officer Jenny, then she was trustworthy. After all, the Officer Jenny family was a large family, and he was not worried about any problems.

……

"Sister Feng, you've left your clothes lying around again!" Heath roared angrily. He and Officer Jenny had become quite familiar with each other, but after getting to know her, Heath discovered her true nature: she was a homebody with a very untidy lifestyle. Looking at the socks thrown on the table, Heath's fists clenched. He used to think that girls' rooms would be at least tidy, clean, and fragrant, but now he found that wasn't the case. Clothes and pants were everywhere, along with dolls and a bunch of exercise equipment. He really couldn't understand how Officer Jenny survived.

"Oh, thank you so much, little brother Heath~" Jun Shafeng said with a smile, shamelessly. Heath looked at Jun Shafeng helplessly, and could only take the clothes to wash. After all, he was living under someone else's roof, so it was normal for him to do some housework. Although Heath had indeed been attracted to Jun Shafeng's great figure before, the time they spent together had made Heath regard Jun Shafeng as an older sister. He felt that this relationship was also very good, after all, Sister Feng and the others were much older than him.

Just as Heath picked up the socks, he noticed an envelope underneath with his name on it. Somewhat puzzled, he opened it and found a bank card inside. He paused for a moment, then saw a letter.

Heath, we heard you're trying to earn money to pay off your debts. Bell said you were looking at street vendors and some other things. We don't know what you're planning to do, but you definitely need money, right? There's some start-up capital in your bank account; take it and use it. The PIN is six zeros.

Heath remained silent for a long time that day.

He knew how difficult it was to borrow money these days. Even friends found it hard to ask for money, and even fewer were willing to lend it. But he never expected that Sister Feng and the others would give him money without him even asking. Having been rejected in his previous life, Heath couldn't help but widen his eyes and strain to keep from crying out of embarrassment.

……

Jun Shafeng, who always liked to make fun of herself but cared about her a lot, and who selflessly helped her and gave her a lot of advice.

The one who bears the stigma of caring for the child of a criminal, the one who helps herself apologize to her parents in her previous life.

Sister Feng, who always thought of me and even covered me with a blanket at night.

Sister Feng, who strictly supervised her training and practiced fighting techniques with her.

Sister Feng, who gave me a cell phone when I was about to leave Changqing City.

He sacrificed himself.

Although every Officer Jenny receives this kind of training when they join the company, making them aware of the responsibilities and honors of being an Officer Jenny, and also showing them the Officer Jenny predecessors who sacrificed their lives on the job, Heath was also taken there by Sister Feng. So Heath is very clear about everything in this world. But it is precisely because he knows this that he finds it hard to accept what he is experiencing now. He knows that Sister Feng is a person who craves honor, and he also knows that the reason why Sister Feng did not immediately apply for a transfer order to leave Evergreen City is because of his own reasons.

He also knew that it was Feng Jie's own decision to go to Kuye City.

But at this moment, Heath felt immense grief. The overwhelming pain enveloped him, making it hard for him to breathe. He had lost his loved ones, but fortunately, he had a chance to make amends.

Nightmare Flower.

The flower, which had never bloomed since he got it, blossomed at this moment. It was incomparably beautiful and magnificent. Just looking at this flower made all other flowers in the world lose their meaning of beauty. But Heath didn't care about that. He held the Nightmare Flower tightly, and even though the thorns on the Nightmare Flower pierced his hand and blood flowed down, he did not let go.

"Let all of this become my nightmare, let the nightmare disappear..." Heath roared in agony.

As Heath roared, the petals of the Nightmare Flower began to fall. At the moment the petals fell, Heath found that everything around her became blurry. The petals continued to fall until they were all gone. When everything returned to normal, Officer Jenny was gone, and Haruka was practicing flipping a wok with Farfetch'd.

He couldn't wait to take out his phone and dial Sister Feng's number. The phone rang, but those few seconds felt like an eternity to Heath.

"Heath, why did you suddenly decide to call me?" Sister Feng answered the phone, and at that moment, that familiar voice came through. Heath sat down in his chair again, slumped weakly, and remained silent for a long time.

Sister Feng became anxious and kept asking Heath what was wrong.

"I'm fine, sister...I'm fine..."

Chapter 1072 The Mission of Three Hundred People

"Thank goodness for the Nightmare Flower, otherwise this world would be in complete chaos. But Officer Jenny did come to deliver a message to me. I was wondering how such a busy person like her could suddenly have time to take a vacation..." Heath took a deep breath and then slumped onto the table. He suddenly felt incredibly tired. He had been in pretty good spirits, but this whole thing had left him exhausted, as if his entire body had been hollowed out. But at least the ending was good. Heath had successfully accomplished what he wanted to do, and the Nightmare Flower, which hadn't bloomed in a long time, was now used up. This made Heath feel a little regretful, since the Nightmare Flower was truly effective and incredibly powerful. It truly lived up to its ability to transform reality into a nightmare. Sister Feng had come back to life.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for Hiss. Hess had always thought that Maple would definitely be fine, but Officer Jenny is, after all, the most dangerous profession in the Pokémon world, bar none. So it's not surprising that she turned out this way. In fact, most Officer Jennys are mentally prepared for this day to come. It's just that this time it was Maple.

However, Heath didn't want his sister to sacrifice herself like this, so he decided to think of a way for her. But Heath didn't know what to do. Since Feng had been transferred out of Evergreen City, she definitely wouldn't be returning to Evergreen City anytime soon. Therefore, Officer Jenny would definitely stay in Leaf City. Moreover, Heath knew Feng's temperament very well. She wasn't someone who would back down, so she definitely wouldn't agree to return to Evergreen City for a peaceful and safe life. Based on this premise, Heath felt that instead of trying to get Feng to go back, it would be better to find a way to ensure Feng's safety.

[You have triggered a special quest: The Urgent Need to Care for Your Loved Ones]

[The urgent need to care for loved ones: As a traveling chef, you can only fully enjoy your journey without any worries. Serving no fewer than 300 guests before 6 PM today will earn you a special reward.]

Heath paused, clearly not expecting such a mission. The mission itself was good, though it seemed somewhat difficult. Heath glanced at his phone; it was 2:42 PM, meaning he didn't have much time. But even with limited time, Heath had to complete the mission. As the mission stated, only when he had no worries could he continue his journey with peace of mind. However, completing the mission in such a short time was proving challenging.

Customer traffic is a crucial factor. Generally speaking, peak dining times are concentrated in the morning, noon, and evening, which are the main mealtimes when most people come to the restaurant. However, the problem is that lunchtime has already passed, so if Heath wants to complete this task, he needs to think of some solutions. Fortunately, this task does not specify the types of dishes to be prepared, so Heath is not without a solution.

“Three hundred people, but my restaurant can only accommodate a maximum of fifty guests. That means the dining time should be as short as possible…” Heath stroked his chin. Although the food truck had been expanded, the dining area was designed to ensure guests could eat with peace of mind and comfort, so it was spaced quite far apart. Therefore, it could not accommodate many guests. If the dining time was too long, it would be troublesome to complete the task.

“No, we can let the guests take it out to eat. After all, there are very few people eating at this time. But if it's a snack, I think these people won't refuse.” Heath nodded, thinking that the idea was pretty good and worth a try. Moreover, Heath had already thought of what to make: fried chicken.

Fried chicken is a perennial favorite in the food industry. Heath has made fried chicken before. Fried chicken may seem simple, but it's precisely because it's easy to make that it's very difficult to differentiate yourself from competitors. Moreover, it's very difficult to keep secrets in the food industry. Competitors can simply buy a sample of your specialty product, send it for testing to see what was used, or hire a professional food critic to analyze the unique features of the dish.

However, Heath didn't really care about secrecy; he just wanted to complete his mission. So, after thinking for a moment, Heath wrote on a blackboard: "[Today's Special: Fried Chicken and Milk Tea Snack Combo, only 15 Alliance Coins per serving]." This price was incredibly affordable, and milk tea was included as a bonus. However, before taking it out, Heath needed to do some preparation. He quickly prepared large pots of milk tea using Dialga's cooking utensils, then marinated the chicken. All that was left was to fry the chicken thoroughly.

Moreover, fried chicken is usually best fried fresh. Only when fried fresh will the fried chicken have a rich and mellow flavor and taste better. If fried chicken is left out for a while and then cools down, the flavor will drop sharply and the taste will be greatly affected.

After making all the necessary preparations, Heath began preparing to open for business. He was determined to complete this task today, so he specially parked his food truck in the prime commercial area, where there was the highest foot traffic. However, he would need to go to the Officer J.F. building to pay the outstanding fees later, since Heath had not been operating at the location he had previously registered.

The incredibly low price did attract quite a few customers. To boost business, Heath even turned on the ventilation in his food truck, letting the aroma of fried chicken and milk tea spread, which drew even more customers. Because of the nature of fried chicken and milk tea, customers could eat while walking, so not many people chose to stay and eat in Heath's food truck. Even so, Heath was too busy to talk. He was very busy, extremely busy.

Fortunately, with the help of Mew and Kirlia, Hiss was able to relax a little. The progress of completing the 300 guests also increased rapidly, soon breaking through 300. When the afternoon came, the mission progress stopped at 373. Hiss breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the mission was completed smoothly, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome. Now he could finally relax.
