I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

The green onion duck is still asleep, drooling while hugging its green onion. I wonder what it's dreaming about, maybe it's dreaming that it's making roast duck?

Under the sunlight, those 'black stockings' still looked so conspicuous, but now they didn't look like black stockings anymore; instead, they looked like black, charred feathers.

However, Heath didn't see Charmander, which puzzled her. When she went outside, she found Charmander in the living room, struggling to lift a mop back and forth.

"Looks like he's more than just a glutton." Heath smiled as she watched the little dragon training hard.

His interactions with the Pokémon made Hiss realize that the Pokémon in this world were not just strings of data, but living beings. Some Pokémon liked to slack off, some had unique hobbies, some were diligent and greedy, and some were a little absent-minded.

One by one, living lives appeared before Heath.

"Little Dragon, your training method won't work. Come on, wash up. I'll tell you some muscle-building methods when we get in the car." Heath called out to Little Dragon, then led him out.

It seems like there's another Pokémon washing its face and brushing its teeth every day now, so Heath will have to buy more toothbrushes, toothpaste, and towels.

"Trainer, do you also do muscle training?" Zoroya asked Hiss with some surprise.

"Of course, I did have a gym membership back then, though I probably only went a few months out of the year I had it." Heath shrugged. That was his embarrassing moment; he bought the membership on a whim and didn't stick with it, what a waste of money.

"Tch~" Zoroia flicked her tail; she wasn't interested in muscles.

The little dragon was very excited and ran to the food cart without waiting. Heath was a little amused and exasperated. Was it too impatient?

However, Charmander stood at the door of the food cart again, waving happily at Heath. The spring sun rose, and the warm sunlight shone on Charmander, also illuminating the bandages still wrapped around its body.

Chapter 77 Someone who wishes to remain anonymous…

Charmander, a famous starter Pokémon in the Kanto region, evolves into Charizard, which is quite powerful and has a very cool appearance, captivating countless people. Therefore, Charmander is the most famous among the starter Pokémon.

Of course, a lot of people also complained that the evolved Charizard looks like a dragon and has dragon in its name, but it is a Flying type. Why isn't it a Dragon type?

It is said that the netizen who posted this topic and sparked heated discussion back then even received a "like" from "a certain unnamed King Du". Although A-Du quickly clarified afterward that he did not like it, it did not matter.

The company responsible for operating the Pokémon World Weibo account came forward to clarify that Lance did not actually like the post. Instead, he accidentally liked it after it sparked heated discussions that day, and then unliked it five seconds later.

Well, it was a slap in the face on the spot. Then some busybodies posted photos, saying that the Heavenly King had ridden Charizard to that [3D Dragon Network Company] to cause trouble.

However, before this, Heath really hadn't expected that he would actually get a Charmander, and a very well-bred one at that, which made Heath quite happy.

“Little Charmander, look, when you build muscle, you usually start with your core muscles… Huh? What are core muscles? They’re the chest, back, and legs.” Heath sat in his food cart, explaining his meager fitness knowledge to Charmander.

After purchasing the ingredients he needed, Heath drove his food truck to his usual spot and began waiting for customers to arrive. Since it was still early, Heath took the opportunity to talk to Charmander.

Charmander looked at Heath's actions with confusion, looking somewhat bewildered. Heath took out a piece of exercise equipment he had seen in the gym before from the toolbox and threw it out. Immediately afterwards, an instrument that matched Charmander's size appeared in the food cart.

"Hey, sit up here, and then put a five-kilogram iron plate on each side first... Hmm, relax your shoulders, and use your pectoral muscles to push." ​​Heath patiently instructed, and the little dragon struggled to lift it, probably because of its injury.

After Charmander neatly completed a movement, Heath explained the rules of fitness to him.

"If you want to work out and build muscle, then start with four sets of twenty reps each," Heath patiently explained to Charmander. Charmander nodded seriously and then began pushing the machine in front of him with gritted teeth.

"Oh? Heath, are you teaching your Pokémon how to build chest muscles?" A familiar voice. Heath turned his head and saw it was Mr. Fujiyama.

Mr. Fujiyama seemed to have just finished exercising, his head covered in sweat, and he was looking curiously at Heath and the little fire dragon beside Heath.

“Yes, Mr. Fujiyama, Charmander is quite interested in muscle training.” Heath smiled. With Mr. Fujiyama around, Charmander had a qualified teacher.

Although Heath had been to the gym before, he didn't really understand the concepts of fitness, and he didn't know how to train Pokémon strength, since his previous trainers hadn't taught him how to train Pokémon.

"Hey, are you working out its core strength? It's rare that you could find such suitable fitness equipment for its body type." Mr. Fujiyama recognized the movements Charmander was making at a glance.

Charmander had finished his first set of exercises and was looking curiously at the muscular man in front of him. The man's huge size and muscles made Charmander look at him with a hint of envy.

"It was a bit of a stretch to find one for Charmander, since Officer Jenny and the others have a lot of Pokémon training equipment," Heath said with a smile, giving the excuse she had prepared beforehand.

Officer Jenny's dormitory area has a lot of exercise equipment, including many suitable for Pokémon, so when Hiss mentioned it, Mr. Fujiyama had an "I see" look on his face.

“Charmander, it’s rare to find a Pokémon willing to build muscle… Here’s what we’ll do: if it has the willpower, I’ll customize a fitness program for it. As long as you keep up with its nutrition, I guarantee I can give you a muscular Charmander.” Mr. Fujiyama crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying with a smile.

Heath was somewhat surprised; he really hadn't expected Mr. Fujiyama to be willing to help. However, with Mr. Fujiyama's help, Charmander's training would be even more effective.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Fujiyama. I'll make you a healthy meal." Heath smiled and opened the refrigerator. He wasn't very knowledgeable about fitness, so he left it to the professionals.

What Heath needs to do now is to entertain the enthusiastic Mr. Fujiyama, which can be considered as repaying Mr. Fujiyama for his help.

Mr. Fujiyama waved his hand, then excitedly let Charmander go out and started measuring something with him. Heath didn't pay any attention; Mr. Fujiyama was one of his regular customers.

While preparing breakfast for Mr. Fujiyama, Heath glanced at Charmander, who was listening intently. It was clear that Charmander really enjoyed exercising. Heath thought of Charmander exercising that morning.

Heath glanced at his cabinet. He had previously considered selling all the protein powder to Mr. Fujiyama, since protein powder is quite expensive. Heath felt that if he sold it all, he could probably save more money.

However, thinking of how happy Charmander was that morning, Heath suppressed his idea of ​​making money.

"Oh well, I'll just consider it a workout for Charmander. I just wonder what Charmander will look like in the future..." Heath put the finished pancake into the bag and then glanced at Charmander.

The current Charmander is thin and small, basically the same as other Charmanders, but Heath knows that the future Charmander will not look like this, with fitness equipment, professional guidance, and protein powder.

Heath slowly conjured up an image of a muscular little Charmander in his mind. When it evolves into a Charizard, it will probably be a muscular Charizard again. Heath smiled and found that this seemed pretty cool.

"Oh~ my trainer~ do you think I look like this?" A strange voice echoed in Hiss's mind. Then Hiss turned his head and saw a Pokémon.

The little dragon was all muscle, but its face was still so delicate, looking almost like the muscular Barbie from a certain anime. Heath shuddered.

"Zorua!" Hiss called out in a low voice, annoyed. Zorua reverted to his original form and made a face.

Chapter 78 Gengar's Resentment

"Mr. Fujiyama, Charmander's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so his training level might have to be a bit lower." Heath handed the prepared food to Mr. Fujiyama, a large bag of it.

To thank Mr. Fujiyama, Heath specially prepared a few extra chicken breasts, as Mr. Fujiyama quite liked chicken breasts; he was a very self-disciplined man.

"Hey, of course I know. Don't worry, I've already told it. Oh, and if you have time, remember to buy some protein powder. It's helpful for building muscle." Mr. Fujiyama gave Heath some instructions, and then left with his superhuman strength.

Heath watched Mr. Fujiyama leave, then glanced at Charmander who was continuing to work on his chest muscles, and chuckled as he patted its head.

It feels great to the touch and is very warm, even warmer than human body temperature.

"Little Dragon, this is water with protein powder. Remember to drink it after your workout." Heath placed the prepared protein powder water aside and then got up to wait for the other guests to arrive.

"Heath, is there anything good for breakfast?" Ms. Lori walked over; she looked a little tired and had dark circles under her eyes.

"For breakfast, I recommend this." Heath pointed to the large bowl of crispy beef noodles hanging outside his food cart. Heath didn't have any plans to make other breakfast items for the time being.

“Noodles…” Ms. Lori stared blankly at the sign outside Heath’s food cart, lost in thought. Behind her, a Gengar popped out and grinned as it approached Heath.

Heath looked at the Gengar in front of him, smiled, then skillfully rolled up his sleeves and continued playing rock-paper-scissors with Gengar.

As usual, Gengar lost again. Hiss looked at the frustrated Gengar, calmly took out a notebook from the cabinet and wrote it down, making Gengar grit its teeth in frustration.

"Oh dear, Gengar, you lost again." Heath looked at Gengar with a smile. Gengar looked particularly funny, but Heath also felt that Gengar's luck was too bad, losing so many times at rock-paper-scissors.

Gengar shrank back with a resentful look on its face. Heath could almost see Gengar lying on Lori's back, wailing loudly. Heath wanted to laugh a little. Every time Gengar played rock-paper-scissors, it was just like a little kid.

Ms. Lori rolled her eyes at Hiss, who had made her Gengar cry again. Ms. Lori sighed. Just this morning, Hiss had been killing Pokémon at a Pokémon poaching group's base, so why was he crying as soon as they played rock-paper-scissors?

For some reason, Ms. Lori remembered what had just happened at the poaching group's base. Gengar seemed to particularly enjoy cornering criminals and then playing rock-paper-scissors with them. If they lost, it would tie them up, while if they won, it would slap them across the face while muttering something.

"Ahem... Ms. Lori, would you like something to eat?" Heath looked at Ms. Lori and smiled awkwardly. He wondered if he should go easy on her next time, like always using scissors and letting Gengar win once?

"I'd like something else to eat. Do you have any other breakfast options?" Ms. Lori yawned. She decided to have a serious talk with Heath about why he always bullied her Gengar next time. Right now, she was too sleepy and just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach.

Looking at Ms. Lori's sleepy expression, Heath suddenly thought of the Dream Microphone he had obtained before. If he used that thing, would Ms. Lori fall asleep in front of him?

Wait a minute, Ms. Lori has a husband. This plot seems familiar.

Heath shook his head violently, feeling like he must be an old man who had hanged himself, daring to think such things in front of Ms. Lori.

"As for breakfast..." Heath hesitated. He didn't have many breakfast options. If he had to name one, it would be jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) and braised beef noodles. He hadn't made any other breakfast items yet, and he hadn't prepared the ingredients.

"Never mind, just give me a jianbing guozi." Ms. Lori noticed Heath's predicament and waved her hand.

Heath nodded, then quickly made a jianbing guozi for Ms. Lori, handed it to her, and put the money away.

"Oh, by the way, this is something I picked up while I was strolling around today. Here you go." Ms. Lori handed a small bag to Heath, who took it curiously. Inside were some white things that looked like mushrooms.

Heath didn't ask where Ms. Lori had gone, because he knew very well that when Ms. Lori said she was just wandering around, she was basically out doing a mission, so Heath never asked about such things.

"What is this thing? It looks like wild mushrooms." Heath looked at the white things in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Heath then took out the food identification device, wanting to see what Ms. Lori had given him.

Termitomyces albuminosus (chicken mushroom) is non-toxic and edible, with a delicious flavor; it is recommended to cook it before consumption.

Heath slapped his forehead. He had been wondering what these things were, but he never expected them to be termite mushrooms. He had eaten quite a few of these, but most of them were cooked. He had never actually seen what they looked like.

Looking at the matsutake mushrooms in his hand, Heath thought of a dish he used to eat with rice: stir-fried matsutake mushrooms, a delicacy that could be preserved like pickled vegetables for a while after being cooked.

The termite mushroom is very delicious and is the perfect choice to eat with rice. However, Heath never expected to see this wild mushroom in the Pokémon world.

"It seems this thing will be very useful in the future, but I wonder when it will be able to be upgraded." Heath is becoming more and more satisfied with his food identifier.

"Hello, do you have anything to eat?" A gentle voice asked. Heath looked up and saw a girl he had never seen before.

"Jianbing guozi, egg fried rice, and this braised beef noodle soup, what would you like to eat?" Heath couldn't help but glance at the girl's red hair.

There are all sorts of hair colors in the Pokémon world, so it's not surprising that Seath is red, but there are really quite a few red-haired people in Viridian City.

"Could you please make me a dish without meat, but that tastes like meat and is really delicious? I'll only pay if it's good." The girl said with a smile, her eyes also red.

Heath was taken aback. Was this guy here to cause trouble? What did he mean by a dish that tasted like meat but had no meat and was actually delicious? Wasn't this just making things difficult for him?

Chapter 79 Meat Dishes Without the Taste of Meat

It has no meat, but it tastes like meat, and it's also a delicious dish.

Heath had to admit that when she heard it, she thought she must have misheard, but after seeing the girl's affirmative smile, she realized that the girl was serious.

"Please wait a moment." Heath looked down and rummaged through his food cabinet, then opened the refrigerator to take a look. He hadn't bought much food today, so making vegetarian meat and vegetarian chicken probably wouldn't be an option.

However, Heath had already spotted two other ingredients that, if prepared properly, could make vegetables taste like meat.

"Yes, would you like some?" Heath clapped his hands and asked the girl in front of him.

"Hmph, of course I'll take it, but I won't pay if it's not good." The girl snorted, then found a chair and sat down, even wiping the table.

Heath ignored the girl's strange attitude. In fact, when doing business, you always encounter all kinds of customers, and Heath had encountered many customers with bad tempers.

Last time, Heath encountered two customers who came to eat in broad daylight. Eating was fine in itself, but they started drinking while eating and then started acting crazy when they were drunk, which was very upsetting.

If Officer Jenny hadn't just passed by, Heath felt that these two guys might have overturned his stall. Thinking about it, Heath regretted it a little; he should have let them overturn it.

At least Heath will get some compensation after the fall.
