I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Of course." Heath chuckled and stuffed a small silver object into Farfetch'd's mouth. Farfetch'd woke up with a crunch. Ash didn't see it clearly, but he thought it was some kind of snack.

Heath looked at Ash with satisfaction. As expected of the protagonist, after entertaining Ash, Heath received a silver crown, and after using it, Farfetch'd's defense was maxed out.

Heath was somewhat helpless. He actually thought attack speed was more important, but he didn't expect Farfetch'd to be going for a full-defense build.

"Green onion! Green onion!" The green onion duck excitedly flapped its wings, looking much more energetic.

Ash circled around Farfetch'd like Luffy, even trying to reach out and touch it. Farfetch'd, however, was very wary of strangers, staring at Ash while tightly clutching its green onion.

Heath knew that Farfetch'd was on high alert. Farfetch'd's green onions weren't just for eating; they could also be used as weapons.

"Farfetch'd, do you want some?" Heath quickly stopped Ash. Farfetch'd was a Pokémon he had just caught, and Heath didn't want Farfetch'd to accidentally hurt Ash.

"Onion!" Farfetch'd nodded firmly, then stood next to Heath with a sycophantic look on his face, wiggling his butt.

Heath looked on, somewhat amused and exasperated. This Farfetch'd was really something else; if Heath didn't know better, she would have thought she had caught a Growlithe.

Ash squatted down next to Farfetch'd with a curious expression, examining the Pokémon he had only seen in the news.

Heath skillfully made jianbing guozi, but as he worked, he sensed something was amiss. He glanced back and saw Farfetch'd watching Heath's movements intently, the scallion in its hand twirling, seemingly...

"Do you want to learn to cook? Farfetch'd?" Heath became a little interested. Farfetch'd looked like he was planning to make a jianbing guozi himself. Although Heath didn't think Farfetch'd's wings were big enough to hold a spatula, he still asked.

"Onion!" The big green onion duck nodded and then walked over with great interest.

Heath curled her lip. So you're really planning to cook?

A Pokémon known worldwide for its love of food has developed an interest in cooking... Heath feels that something is wrong with this world.

It was just a Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe), and Heath didn't mind letting Farfetch'd try it, so Heath quickly stepped aside and let Farfetch'd come up and handle it.

Just as Heath had expected, Farfetch'd had some trouble picking up the spatula with its two wings, but it quickly managed to do so. Heath watched quietly, while simultaneously instructing Farfetch'd on how to make jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).

Looking at the jianbing guozi that had turned into a pancake on the hot plate, Heath fell into deep thought.

With him guiding it, how did Farfetch'd manage to burn the jianbing guozi? Didn't you see Ash laughing so hard his shoulders were shaking?

Farfetch'd made a Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe), unlocking the long-term quest "Pokémon Chef".

[The first step to becoming a Pokémon chef: Train Farfetch'd to make a perfect Jianbing (Chinese crepe) on its own and you will receive a special reward.]

Heath was taken aback. Could this really start a mission? But looking at the words "long-term mission," Heath felt a headache coming on. Was this mission going to train Farfetch'd into a professional chef? That would be too difficult.

However, it must be said that the special rewards are very tempting to Heath. Currently, Heath has found that the trigger conditions for his cheat ability are generally related to cooking skills and food. It is easy to get rewards when entertaining guests, and it is easy to get better rewards when entertaining famous guests.

Ash and Giovanni gave Hiss great rewards, while the other ordinary guests received some small candies.

However, looking at the black discus in front of him and the Farfetch'd that was sneaking away, Heath thought this was going to be a very difficult task.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to make do." Heath sighed. What else could he do? He was desperate too.

Chapter 6 Fried Rice and Squinty Eyes

"Hey, I've told you so many times, haven't I? Once the batter is spread out, you should count to a few seconds before adding the other ingredients. Why do you have to fry it until it's smoking black?" Heath looked at the green onion duck in front of her and felt like her head was about to explode.

Heath originally thought that teaching her Maple Sister was already a very torturous thing, but she never expected that learning to cook with Farfetch'd would be a real disaster.

Because of the green onion duck, Heath consumed food much faster. If he hadn't already paid off his debts, Heath thought he probably would have gone bankrupt.

"Hey, Heath, what are you doing? Teaching Farfetch'd how to cook?" A familiar voice called out. Heath looked up and saw a person with their eyes closed, smiling at him.

"Xiao Gang, long time no see! Are you here in Changqing City for fun?" Heath tossed the burnt pancake into a bag beside him, which contained the failed experiments of the scallion duck.

Farfetch'd was holding its green onion with a defiant look on its face, seemingly with an urge to rush over and investigate further.

"What's the point of playing? My dad is planning to step down, and he wants to recommend me to be the gym leader of Pewter City. I've been through a lot lately." Brock sighed, his eyes looking almost closed.

However, Heath also knew that Xiao Gang's eyes were simply small, so much so that even when he opened his eyes wide, they looked somewhat squinty to others, much like Li Ronghao in his previous life.

Heath nodded. Ever since he met Brock, Heath knew that Brock would definitely inherit his father's position and become the Gym Leader of the Rock-type Gym.

However, Brock later discovered his life goal during his travels with Ash and eventually chose to become a Pokémon breeder. But Heath remembers that later it seems that Brock planned to become a Pokémon doctor.

This led Heath to suspect that Xiao Gang might be after the pretty Joey.

"Huh? Wait a minute, do you have your own Pokémon?" Brock suddenly paused, then asked with a shocked expression.

"You just realized? I've paid off my parents' debts, so naturally I have Pokémon now." Heath was in a great mood as he tidied up his pancake stand.

He knew Xiao Gang's preferences all too well; Jianbing Guozi was not a food Xiao Gang would choose.

"That's great! Such a happy occasion, shouldn't you treat me to a plate of fried rice to celebrate?" Brock chuckled, stroking his chin as he looked at the Farfetch'd in front of him. He also had Pokémon, Onix and Geodude, but his father had helped him catch another Pokémon so that he could successfully inherit the gym.

"You must be living in a dream. It's not nighttime yet, so stop dreaming." Heath rolled his eyes. Perhaps because he was in debt when he transmigrated, Heath valued money a lot.

By the standards of his previous life, Heath would probably be the type who would go back and ask for the change back even if the other person gave him a penny less than he deserved.

After all, the huge debt was putting Heath under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for Officer Jenny's help, Heath felt that he might have wanted to join Team Rocket.

"Hey buddy, give me a plate of fried rice with eggs... By the way, now that you're not in debt anymore, what are you planning to do in the future?" Xiao Gang said with a smile. He was just joking; he knew Heath's financial situation very well.

Heath took out the pot, looking somewhat hesitant.

Heath hadn't considered this issue before. After all, the enormous debt was weighing on him and making it hard for him to breathe. Back then, he didn't care about the future. Heath had to calculate every day how much money he could save so he could buy groceries and pay off his debts.

And now, the phrase "now and future" seems to have once again become something that can be used casually.

"Probably saving up to open a restaurant?" Heath lit the fire, looked at the pot, and took out yesterday's leftover rice, scooping it into a bowl.

"Oh? So, can I make all those braised pork, braised chicken, and spicy chicken dishes you mentioned?" Xiao Gang was a little excited, looking at Heath with anticipation.

He knew about Heath's cooking skills; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a master chef. However, because of Heath's stall, Xiao Gang had only heard of some of the dishes Heath mentioned, but had never actually tasted them.

But that didn't stop Xiaogang from imagining the delicious taste. If fried rice with eggs could be made so delicious, then what kind of delicacies would braised pork be?

“Of course.” Heath skillfully poured in the oil, waited a while, and then poured in the well-stirred egg mixture with added salt.

The hot oil instantly gave the eggs a wonderful aroma, and the smell of the eggs mixed with the smell of the oil, making some passersby turn around for a look.

Heath quickly stirred the egg mixture before pouring in the rice. Once everything was almost done, Heath chopped a small amount of scallion and added it in.

"Is this... the green onion from the green onion duck?" Xiao Gang swallowed hard, smelling the aroma in the air, and asked curiously.

"Hmm, the green onions from this leek duck are much better than regular green onions, so it's not unreasonable for me to charge you ten dollars for this, is it?" Heath said with a smile as he stir-fried the egg fried rice in front of him.

"Hiss... You're really ripping me off... I bought it! It's only ten dollars!" Xiao Gang gasped, his face full of pain, but he still took out twenty-five Alliance coins and handed them to Heath.

"Hey, thanks for your patronage~" Heath smiled broadly as he handed the fried rice he had just made to Xiao Gang. He was somewhat looking forward to what reward he would get for treating Xiao Gang.

But then Heath noticed that the leek duck was eager to try it, so Heath quickly stopped it. The leek duck had already wasted the ingredients for five sets of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), and if it wasted the fried rice, Heath felt that his plan to save money to open a restaurant would be delayed for a long time.

Meanwhile, Xiao Gang was holding the egg fried rice that Heath had given him with great satisfaction. The bowl was full and looked very substantial, but what was most attractive was its rich aroma.

After taking a spoonful of fried rice, Xiao Gang couldn't help but take another bite. The warm eggs and rice mixed together, the aroma of the eggs and the taste of the oil, and the undeniable fragrance of scallions made Xiao Gang unable to stop eating.

Although they are both fried rice, Heath's fried rice tastes much better. Xiao Gang feels that even his mother's fried rice is not as good as Heath's.

"Should I learn to cook? I'll need it for both my daily life and when I travel." Xiao Gang chewed on his fried rice, thinking seriously.

Chapter 7 The Twilight Pokémon

Heath had no idea what Xiao Gang was thinking. He smiled and saw Xiao Gang off after he came to buy something. Then he tidied up his stall, making sure it looked clean.

Heath pays great attention to appearance. In many cases, diners not only care about the taste of the food, but also about hygiene. After all, the difference between a dirty kitchen and a clean kitchen is obvious.

Back when Heath was still on Earth, he once accidentally wandered into someone else's kitchen while eating out, and immediately lost his appetite. So Heath is very particular about the hygiene of his own kitchen.

The reward given to Xiao Gang after entertaining him made Heath quite happy.

[You entertained Xiaogang and received a full recovery potion (game version)]

Heath wasn't too concerned about the full recovery potion, since it was available in the Friendship Shop, though it was quite expensive, costing 10,000 Alliance Coins per bottle. However, the game version information that came with the full recovery potion made Heath very happy.

The full recovery potion in the game is a magical item that can instantly restore health and cure all abnormal statuses; it's extremely useful.

"Green onion!" Green onion duck looked at Heath with anticipation. It seemed that Green onion wanted to come up and try making jianbing guozi and egg fried rice again, but Heath firmly refused Green onion duck's request.

He needs to save some ingredients to serve his guests, otherwise he'll have to close up shop early if he doesn't have enough.

"Little Heath, do you have fried rice and chicken legs today?" An old voice made Heath, who was busy, look up. He saw an elderly man with a senile fire-breathing dragon beside him.

“It’s Grandpa Ma Zhide, of course I have one, but you might have to wait a bit.” Heath recognized the old man in front of him and quickly brought out a stool for him to sit down.

"Oh, little Heath is so kind-hearted. Thank you for your help. Same as always." Ma Zhide sat down with a smile.

Although Grandpa Ma Zhide is quite old, with a head full of white hair, wrinkles, and age spots, he still looks very energetic and walks with a straight back without needing a cane. He is also a regular customer of Heath.

The first time Heath served Mr. Ma Zhide was when he was making breakfast. Mr. Ma Zhide bought a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) from him and then became a regular customer of Heath's.

Heath skillfully took out a wok and began preparing the food that Grandpa Ma had ordered. However, this time Heath used freshly cooked rice that was softer. This kind of rice is very soft and is very suitable for people with bad teeth.

Heath did the same with the chicken leg. He took out the braising pot from under his stall, scooped out a very soft-cooked chicken leg, put it into the fried rice, and handed it to the fire-breathing dragon.

Charizard grinned, revealing its teeth. It was an aging Charizard; its skin was no longer as smooth as it had been in its youth, but instead bore the marks of time, with visible scars from past battles.

Charizard's teeth have mostly fallen out, leaving only two sharp teeth in its mouth. The fried rice and chicken leg that Grandpa Ma Zhide ordered were never for himself.

Heath remembered that when Mr. Ma Zhide came to him, he asked why his jianbing guozi was so soft and delicious. Heath simply explained that it was because he had to take into account the old man's teeth.

This answer made Ma Zhide very happy. He brought his old partner Charizard and asked Heath to find a way to make one for Charizard.

It was the first time that Sheath had ever cooked food for a Pokémon. However, after cooking, Sheath found that it was just like cooking for humans, except that Charizard was old and its teeth were no longer strong.

Looking at the flames coming out of Charizard's mouth and the chicken leg that was roasted a little black, Hiss shook his head helplessly. Charizard was still the same as ever.

Although Charizard is old, it still breathes fire every time it eats, as if trying to prove to its trainer that it still has the strength to fight. However, Grandpa Ma Zhide always ignores it, which hurts Charizard.

"You, how old are you? You're still thinking about fighting all the time. I'm worried that you might twist your back and break your bones during a fight!" Grandpa Ma Zhide glared at Charizard with annoyance.

"Awoo~" Charizard ate the fried rice on its plate with a wronged expression, bickering with its trainer as it ate.

Heath watched this scene with a smile. After arriving in this world, Heath discovered that besides Pokémon, there was also some advanced technology. In fact, most places were the same as Earth.

People are all going to work, and it's past breakfast time now. There are fewer people on the streets of Evergreen City, and Heath has a rare moment of leisure.

You entertained Charizard and obtained the Fire Punch TM (disappears after use)

Watching Charizard finish its meal, Hiss stroked his chin. He'd actually managed to get a TM? This discovery excited Hiss. He wondered if he'd ever have the chance to entertain Mewtwo or Mew in the future.

If it's possible, wouldn't that prove I can still acquire the moves of legendary Pokémon? If it's possible, then moves like Cliff Sword and Time Roar are not just a dream.

What will be called a mythical beast then? It'll be nothing but a little brother next to Farfetch'd!

"Little Hiss, thank you. Here's the money for the meal." Grandpa Ma Zhide happily left 25 League Coins, then slowly left with his Charizard.
