Heath looked in the direction of the sound with curiosity and saw a League staff member waving a flag enthusiastically, with a huge ice cream shop behind him and a picture of Alcremie above it.
Hiss's lips twitched. He was grateful that the almighty aviation connected the whole world. Hess never expected that he would be able to meet a Pokémon from the Galar region, Alcremie, in the Kanto region.
"Trainer, what kind of Pokémon is Alcremie?" Zoroar asked excitedly after finishing his Sweet Bamboo Juice.
Heath glanced at the equally eager Charmander and Farfetch'd, then painfully touched her wallet. It seemed she wouldn't be able to afford a hefty bill today.
"What kind of Pokémon is Alcremie..." Heath repeated Zoroya's question; he really hadn't expected to see Alcremie here.
"That's a really powerful Pokémon. Its whole body is made of cream, and it has a lot of different forms. Depending on the characteristics of different regions, it can be divided into as many as sixty-three different forms." A strange voice came from the voice. Heath turned around and saw a familiar person.
"Are you Professor Oak?" Heath was somewhat surprised. Although the face was slightly different from the one in the anime, it looked remarkably similar.
"Yes, I am Professor Oak. Do you know me?" Professor Oak looked at Heath with a smile.
“I’ve seen your presentation on TV.” Heath scratched his head, somewhat excited.
However, upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem strange at all. After all, there are already buses running between Changqing City and Zhenxin Town, and a single bus ride only takes two or three hours. People from Zhenxin Town can often be seen in Changqing City.
Some are here to do business, some to travel, some to challenge gyms, and some to enjoy the food. However, Professor Oak may be here at the Viridian City Research Institute for an exchange program.
"Alcremie's cream is absolutely amazing, you should definitely not miss it if you have the chance," Professor Oak said with a smile.
Heath nodded; he also wanted to try what Alcremie's cream tasted like.
Chapter 82 Strange and Wonderful Food
Alcremie and Bulbasaur are considered some of the more unusual Pokémon in the Pokémon world. The former has a variety of forms, while the latter has a distinction between genuine and counterfeit versions.
Therefore, both Pokémon are considered a hurdle for players who want to complete the Pokédex. Some players keep farming them to get both Alcremie and True Potevio.
Putting all that aside, Heath thinks the cream from Alcremie is really good. Because it's the opening promotion today, you can buy an Alcremie ice cream for just six Union Dollars, with three flavors to choose from.
There were three flavors: Milky Red Diamond, Milky Lemon, and Milky Snow Salt. Heath ordered the Snow Salt flavor, which was quite good. Sororia ordered the Red Diamond, while Farfetch'd and Charmander both ordered the Lemon flavor.
The brochure also stated that the price would return to normal after one day, offering each bottle to customers at twelve Alliance Coins. Heath thought he would still buy it, since the taste was indeed very good.
To Heath's slight disappointment, Professor Oak disappeared while waiting in line. There were too many people in the Alcremie Ice Cream shop, and before Heath could notice, Professor Oak vanished into the crowd.
The only downside to the bustling food street is that there are too many people and Pokémon. Fortunately, Seath's Pokémon are kept very close to the authorities.
"I was wondering what I could get in return for entertaining Professor Oak," Heath sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
That's Professor Oak! Professor Oak is quite skilled and a very famous Pokémon professor. Coupled with his excellent breeding skills, Heath thinks Professor Oak is really someone with cheat codes.
If you entertain Professor Oak, you might get some really good items.
However, licking the delicious creamy salt ice cream in his hand, Heath's mood improved again. Indeed, good food is the best way to heal a wounded heart.
Next, Heath took Zoroah, Farfetch'd, and Charmander for a stroll through the food court. They didn't buy a lot of things, but everything was quite delicious. Charmander's favorite was the yogurt made with milk from a large milk jug, which tasted amazing.
Heath also tried it. The yogurt was very rich and creamy, and it was also very smooth and didn't stick to the lid. This disappointed Heath a bit, as he felt that licking the lid was the essence of eating yogurt.
Soraya, on the other hand, preferred the takoyaki sold in an octopus bucket. The taste was quite good, and each takoyaki contained octopus tentacles, which made Heath take a second look when buying them.
Heath was a little suspicious that the takoyaki sold by this takoyaki bucket might have tentacles inside that were actually the takoyaki bucket's own tentacles. Could this be considered self-produced and self-sold?
If you think about it carefully, octopus tentacles seem to be able to regenerate themselves, so from a certain perspective, octopus buckets can be considered a low-cost business.
At first, Heath might have felt a little uncomfortable, but now he's much calmer. As long as it's not the Alola dried Slowpoke tail side dish, Heath feels he can accept it.
Although Slowpoke's tail can regenerate on its own, just like a gecko's, Heath is still somewhat reluctant to use it.
As for Farfetch'd, it's a bit special. It likes all kinds of food, but it prefers to watch how others cook, and then occasionally it will have a look of sudden realization. Heath couldn't help but glance at the green onion in Farfetch'd's hand.
Strictly speaking, it's quite rare for a Pokémon like Farfetch'd to bring side dishes into a food street. Along the way, Sheath attracted a lot of surprised looks and eager attempts from people, all of whom were holding their phones with what seemed like golden eyes.
It seems they might think Heath is planning to sell leek duck in the food court. After all, the Alliance has announced that anyone caught illegally capturing and selling wild leek duck will receive a reward of 50,000 Alliance coins.
In Changqing City, where the average monthly salary is only 3,500 Alliance Coins, 50,000 Alliance Coins is considered a windfall.
After leaving the food street, Hiss's wallet was a bit thinner, but looking at the three Pokémon beside him eating happily, Hiss thought that eating together once in a while seemed like a pretty good option.
However, it still hurts to spend the money, since it was hard-earned, and Heath is a rather frugal person.
"The Speaker of the Alliance should have left by now, right?" Heath stretched as he looked at the bustling street. He hadn't gone to driving school yet today, but looking at the time, Heath felt that there wasn't much need to go now.
Heath was a little curious about what kind of expression the Speaker would have when he learned that Giovanni, who had personally granted the Gym Leader's authority, was the leader of Team Rocket.
This is probably as absurd as letting an undercover agent become a gang leader, but if you think about it carefully, if such an absurd thing can happen, then it's not too strange that Giovanni became a gym leader.
"Heath? What are you doing here?" Just as Heath thought of Sakaki, he heard Sakaki's voice. He turned his head and saw Sakaki standing next to him, holding a large bag of ingredients.
"I just took my Pokémon to the food court," Heath said with a smile. Giovanni glanced at Heath's Charmander, his expression turning a little strange, but he still smiled and didn't say anything.
"Mr. Sakaki, are you going grocery shopping?" Heath looked at the things Sakaki was carrying: tomatoes, cucumbers, and a large piece of beef, which looked to be of very good quality and were probably the most expensive kind in the supermarket.
The snowflake-like patterns made Heath's hands itch to touch them.
"Well, I'm planning to cook some hot pot at home today," Sakaki said with a smile. Heath chatted with Sakaki for a while longer before returning to his food cart.
Hot pot certainly exists in the Pokémon world; in fact, it's a fairly popular cooking method there. You can find quite a few hot pot restaurants in Viridian City, and the most popular one is [Ayu Hot Pot Restaurant]. Heath went there once with Maple, and the taste was indeed quite good.
Moreover, that Ayou hot pot is similar to the hot pot in the Sichuan region, mainly characterized by its numbing spiciness and fresh aroma, but there are also some differences, which Heath quite likes.
Watching the sun begin to set, Heath stretched. It would be too late to go to the driving school now, so Heath planned to drive back early today and review the theory test (Subject 1) in his dorm room to prepare for the upcoming exam.
Chapter 83 The Strange Miss Officera
Heath returned to the Officer Jenny's dormitory area early, which was unusual for her. At this time, most of the Officer Jennys had not yet left work, and only a few Officer Jennys on vacation could be seen in the entire dormitory area, so it was quite quiet.
Officer Jenny's dormitory area is usually not very quiet. Sister Feng is a self-disciplined person, so under her influence, Heath can hear the Officer Jennys exercising at night, and occasionally there will be a few live-action fights to practice their fighting skills.
Heath would occasionally learn from the Officer Jennys, and the one who taught him fighting techniques was Officer Jenny. Officer Jenny's fighting skills were exceptionally high. Heath thought that if Officer Jenny were serious, she could probably handle an attack from two Officer Jennys at the same time.
For an ordinary person, Heath felt that four or five people would be no problem, and there could even be more.
What surprised Heath the most was that the Officers didn't complain at all. Heath had worried that some of the Officers might think that Evergreen City was so safe that they didn't need to train so hard, but not one of them did.
Heath finally understood why the citizens of Evergreen City always had an extraordinary trust in Officer Jenny; basically, whatever Officer Jenny asked them to do, they would do it without hesitation, and there wasn't a single troublemaker among them.
"It's so quiet here today." Zoroya perched on Heath's head, curiously looking around. It was the same familiar scenery, but now it was very quiet. Zoroya could even hear the wind rustling the leaves.
The rustling of the wind came from the quiet forest. Heath closed his eyes, and a gust of wind blew over him, making him stretch comfortably. He had to admit that the greenery in the Pokémon world was really well done, with many trees, giving Heath a feeling of being in nature.
"What are you doing?" A strange voice called out. Heath opened his eyes in confusion and saw Officer Jenny in uniform standing in the shade of a tree in front of him, looking at him curiously.
Heath looked at Officer Jenny in front of him with a bit of a blank expression. Because Heath had been with Officer Jennys ever since he transmigrated, he could easily recognize the face of each of them. But he had never seen this Officer Jenny before.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Heath frowned, looking warily at Officer Jenny in front of him, his hand unconsciously making a fighting stance.
"Officer Jenny's Fifth Fighting Technique? Looks like you've mastered it quite well." Officer Jenny recognized Heath's starting stance at a glance. Heath was somewhat surprised; it was rare to find someone who knew the name of this fighting technique.
Seeing Heath's surprised and wary look, Officer Jenny laughed even harder, even laughing until tears streamed down her face. She wiped her eyes and wiped away the tears.
"It's rare to see a guy like you in Officer Jenny's dorm area. We'll meet again next time, little brother." Officer Jenny waved with a smile, and then she suddenly darted into the woods next to her.
Heath quickly chased after him, but he could no longer see him.
"That guy ran really fast... But is she Officer Jenny?" Heath frowned, looking in the direction Officer Jenny disappeared. Due to family genetics, female Officer Jennys all look basically the same. Only some subtle differences can distinguish the identities of these Officer Jennys. This kind of appearance is very difficult to replicate.
However, it's not impossible to replicate. After all, there are some strange items in the Pokémon world, such as human skin masks, or the effects caused by Pokémon moves.
But this Officer Jenny even knew the name of Officer Jenny's Fifth Fighting Technique. You could tell just from the starting stance that she was very likely a Miss Officer Jenny.
However, for safety reasons, Heath quickly explained the situation to Officer Jenny, who was on duty in the Officer Jenny dormitory area. However, after a thorough investigation, there was still no result. It seemed that Officer Jenny had never actually appeared.
Although confused, Heath still went to the restaurant to cook a sumptuous dinner for Officer Jenny when they returned in the evening, and also finished the food for herself and her Pokémon.
"You mean, when you came back this afternoon, you saw a Officer Jenny? And she even recognized the starting stance of the fifth set of fighting techniques?" Officer Jenny sat opposite Heath, holding rice in her hand and shoveling large mouthfuls of braised pork into her mouth.
“Yes, I just instinctively struck a pose, and she recognized me.” Heath nodded.
“That’s strange… I haven’t heard of any inspectors coming recently.” Officer Sally frowned in confusion, but she quickly stopped worrying about it and focused on eating, which made Heath somewhat amused and exasperated.
However, Officer Jenny's mention of inspectors made Heath think of something else.
Generally, each town has a fixed number of Officer Jennys. Unless there are injuries or new members joining, there are rarely any other Officer Jennys. Of course, there are also tourists, but those don't wear uniforms.
Among them, Officer Jenny, as an inspector, would often travel around to different cities, responsible for surprise inspections of the Officer Jennys' conduct, investigating whether their clothing was up to standard, etc., so she was affectionately called a tattletale by the Officer Jennys.
Heath thought that the formidable Officer Jenny was probably an inspector. After all, their job required them to be elusive, so it wasn't strange that she would suddenly appear in Officer Jenny's dormitory area, which was usually deserted in the afternoon.
Moreover, the profession of inspector doesn't only exist in the Pokémon world; it also existed in the previous life.
After resolving his inner turmoil, Heath felt much better. He quickly finished his egg fried rice and braised chicken leg, and then hurriedly took the green onion duck back to his dormitory.
Heath wanted to see how well the leek duck's arm strength training was going. The requirements for Sanbuzhan (a type of stir-fry) are relatively low in terms of cooking skills, but high in terms of physical strength and power. So as long as the latter meets the requirements, it is not too difficult to make a good Sanbuzhan.
Farfetch'd looked very confident, which made Heath's expectations rise even higher. However, after trying it out in the dormitory kitchen, Heath found that Farfetch'd was still a bit strained when making Sanbuzhan (a type of Pokémon dish). It seems that even for Pokémon, training requires perseverance.
"Take your time. You've made great progress already. I reckon you'll be able to make 'Sanbuzhan' (a type of savory broth) in a few more days of practice." Heath patted Farfetch'd's head encouragingly. Putting aside the mission rewards, Heath felt that Farfetch'd's earnest attitude in learning cooking was worth encouraging.
At least Heath will have one more helper now, making cooking easier.
Chapter 84 Zoroya's Suspicion of Hosei
Heath had another nightmare, but this one was less logical, with all sorts of scary things popping up. When Heath woke up, he realized the main reason for his nightmare.
"I was wondering why I felt tightness in my chest and cold limbs, and it turns out it was you." Heath looked at Zoroya sleeping on his chest with a wry smile, then tucked his hands and feet under the covers.
The warm blankets made Heath feel like she could sleep a little longer. The early spring mornings were still quite chilly, and being able to take a nap in the warm blankets was an unparalleled pleasure.
But after glancing at the time on his phone, Heath reluctantly got out of bed and turned on the light.
"Did Charmander go to train again?" Heath looked around his bedroom. Zoroah was still sticking his butt out and trying to burrow under the covers when Heath E... no, he ruthlessly grabbed him out.
Farfetch'd opened its eyes instantly after the light was turned on, looking quite energetic. Heath couldn't help but smile; it seemed Farfetch'd had developed a regular habit of waking up at the same time every day.
"You lazybones, even Charmander has gone out to train." Heath poked Zoroah's head with a look of exasperation.
"I got my period today, I want to sleep..." Zorua yawned dejectedly, making Heath want to yawn too.
However, Zoroa's words stunned Hiss. It was the first time he had ever heard of Pokémon having periods. Wasn't that ridiculous?
But thinking about it carefully, Heath himself is neither a biologist nor a Pokémon researcher, so he really can't be sure whether foxes have periods.
Heath just remembered seeing in some "useless popular science trivia" that female foxes, horses, and seals have a hymen, so thinking about it that foxes having periods seems quite normal.
"They're really here?" Heath instinctively wanted to lift Zorua's tail to take a look.
He used to have a golden retriever, and that golden retriever would get its period; you could tell just by looking.
