At night, Evergreen City was only brightly lit in the city center; the rest of the city was very dark, including Officer Jenny's dormitory area. After greeting Officer Jenny on duty, Heath left the dormitory area and headed towards the reservoir.

"It's so dark, Trainer, why is your flashlight so dim?" Zoroia complained, perched on Heath's head. Heath glanced at her; this little one was really something.

Heath remembered that foxes were canines, so canines must have pretty good night vision, right?

"You think this is a nuclear-powered flashlight? This thing is just a regular flashlight. It's good enough if it works in the forest at night," Heath said irritably. This isn't a game where the flashlight has unlimited power.

"Didn't you take a big light from the dorm?" Soraya said indignantly. Heath understood that the little one was complaining that he wouldn't let her stay in the dorm to read novels.

Heath turned off the flashlight expressionlessly, then opened his backpack, took out the hand lamp, and then looked at Zoroya with a 'kind' gaze.

"Are you sure you want me to turn this on, Zoroya? If you do, you'd better keep a close eye on the light." Heath said with a smile. Zoroya shuddered, but still nodded, looking sulky.

Heath chuckled and turned on the switch.

……

"Ring, it's dawn, time to get up and do morning exercises." Officer Shalana lay on her bed in the dormitory, looked at the daylight outside the window, and yawned.

"Huh?" Officer Jenny sat up in a daze. She remembered lying down just now, so how come it was already dawn?

……

"Aaaaaah! My eyes! Turn them off right now!" Zoroah cried out in pain, clutching his eyes and lying on Heath's head, but the bright light still made his eyes water uncontrollably.

Heath chuckled and turned off the light, and the forest returned to the darkness it should have been like at night.

……

"Go to sleep. It must be that little guy Heath who took the electric dragon lantern out." Officer Jenny looked at the extinguished daylight, yawned, and lay back down on the bed. Soon, her even breathing could be heard.

"Hehehe~" Jun Sha Ling climbed off the bed with a smile, then secretly lifted Jun Sha Ling's blanket, put her hand inside, and her expression was extremely lewd. Then Jun Sha Ling gritted her teeth in pain and slowly pulled her hand out.

A mousetrap.

Jun Sha Ling gritted her teeth and took the mousetrap off. She really couldn't understand why Jun Sha Ling would put a mousetrap in her blanket when she slept.

The next moment, Jun Sha Ling secretly lifted the blanket, intending to see the layout inside before going to become a pastry chef and knead dough.

But as soon as she lifted the blanket, Jun Sha Ling saw a crossbow. The drawn string pulled, and an arrow shot towards her. Jun Sha Ling was poked in the forehead, but fortunately it was a rubber arrow. Although it hurt a lot, it was not life-threatening.

"I'm such a girl..." Jun Shaling sat up cursing, then she felt something spray on her face. The next second, Jun Shaling collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep, without making a sound.

……

"Still open?" Heath asked with a smile, looking at Zoroya. This little guy dared to mess with him, without even looking at what brand that lantern was.

The electric dragon lantern, and one that is exclusively supplied to the Officer Jenny family, boasts a large lumen output and a wide illumination range. When turned on, it's as bright as daytime, which is no exaggeration. Moreover, its battery life is also very strong.

"I won't open it anymore. I was wrong. Please forgive me." Soraya looked at Heath with teary eyes. The sudden bright light stung Soraya's eyes, causing her to cry uncontrollably.

“That’s more like it.” Heath smiled, turned on her flashlight, and continued walking forward.

Soon, Heath passed through the grove and came to a hillside. Ahead was Evergreen Reservoir, the place that provides daily water to all the residents of Evergreen City, where Officer Jenny was also stationed.

However, Heath hadn't found any particularly amazing scenery yet, but the starry sky above was indeed quite beautiful. Far from Evergreen City, light pollution was minimal, so Heath saw a starry sky that resembled a galaxy.

The dazzling brilliance lifted Heath's spirits considerably, bringing a sense of exhilaration that those who have never seen the stars could not comprehend.

Especially for city dwellers, it's a real shame to spend your whole life in the city because you'll miss out on countless beautiful sights. That's precisely the meaning of travel.

Nowadays, tourism is just about taking photos at scenic spots, queuing, and being crammed in with crowds. Heath thinks that's meaningless. In Heath's opinion, the true meaning of tourism is to stroll on the grassland, lie down, and see a sky full of stars.

"The starry sky is quite beautiful, but you didn't just come here to see the stars, did you, Trainer?" Zoroya looked at Hiss suspiciously.

"How could that be? We'll probably have to walk all the way to the reservoir." Heath waved his hand. Heath hadn't released Charmander and Farfetch'd yet; they'd have to climb a hill later.

Heath led Zorua slowly up the slope, and soon Heath arrived at the edge of the reservoir, where they encountered Officer Jenny, who was stationed at the reservoir.

"Heath? What are you doing here so late at night?" Officer Jenny asked Heath, puzzled.

“I came up here to see the scenery, Sister Jo.” Heath scratched his head and smiled. Basically, all the Officer Jennys were older than him, and Heath would just call them “sister”.

“You certainly know how to pick a spot. The scenery here is indeed quite nice, but apart from us, practically no one else will see it. It’s a real shame.” Officer Jenny chuckled as she helped Heath onto the platform.

Curious, Heath walked to the reservoir and, after climbing the last slope, was stunned by the beautiful scenery before him.

The Milky Way was reflected in the water, and the surface rippled gently with the breeze. What shocked Heath the most was that the surface of the reservoir seemed to be glowing, with many points of light, which looked very beautiful.

Heath curiously reached out and touched the surface of the water. The specks of light came to his hand as he scooped up the water, and then fell back down with the water.

The black night sky obscured the water, making it look as if Heath was holding the starry sky in the palm of his hand.

"What... magnificent scenery!" Heath exclaimed, looking at the view before him. He had been in this place for four years and had never been here before, which was truly a pity.

"So beautiful..." Zoroya nestled on Heath's head, gazing wistfully at the scenery before them. Such a magnificent night view, such a tranquil place... Could it be...?

Soroya glanced down at Heath; she remembered a novel where the protagonist confessed his love in a place like this.

Chapter 96 Legendary Level...

Heath took out the food identification device from his pocket. Although the scenery was quite nice, Heath still wanted to see if the glowing water would have any effect on his body.

After all, this is a reservoir in Changqing City, and any problems here would be a very troublesome matter.

【Starry Sky Algae is non-toxic and edible. It only appears in places with pure water and has the effect of purifying water. After catching it, blanch it once and it is ready to eat. It is recommended to add seasonings to enhance the taste.】

Heath put away the food sampler with satisfaction. It seemed to be a really great thing, and it could even purify water. No wonder Officer Jenny and the others didn't have any objections to it.

Thinking of this, Heath released Farfetch'd and Charmander. Farfetch'd and Charmander exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the magnificent scenery. Then, Charmander and Farfetch'd happily played around Heath.

"Hmph, boring. All you do is play these childish games. I won't participate." Zoroia proudly raised his head, looking disdainful.

Then Zoroar started playing with Farfetch'd and the others, which made Heath speechless. This guy was truly a prime example of saying one thing but doing another.

"Phew... This beautiful scenery makes me feel like I don't want to move at all. Looks like I got the lantern for nothing." Heath sat on the land by the reservoir, stretched, and lay down comfortably on the grass, looking at the magnificent starry sky above.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and Heath suddenly understood why Sister Feng had no objection to his desire to travel, and why so many children in the Pokémon world embarked on journeys before they even reached adulthood. The different scenery in each place, the people and Pokémon they encountered were precious things in a lifetime.

Heath was full of anticipation for his journey. Tomorrow was the first part of his driving test, and Heath was fairly confident. He just didn't know if there would be any changes to the second part of the driving test and the other tests.

After playing by the reservoir for a while, Hiss led the exhausted Pokémon back to their warm and comfortable dormitory, lay down on his bed, and soon fell asleep.

When Heath woke up the next day, he still felt a bit tired, probably because of the hike he had taken the night before.

"Come on, Zoroya, it's time to get up and wash up." Heath pulled Zoroya out of bed, and Farfetch'd followed behind Heath, yawning. Only Charmander was not in the bedroom.

Heath wasn't surprised. The little dragon woke up very early every day, probably because he was still young and had too much energy. Heath couldn't sleep when she was in kindergarten, and later in college she was the type who could sleep forever.

As Heath entered the living room, he saw Charmander exercising. It was huffing and puffing as it lifted dumbbells with perfect form. Heath thought that Charmander might be a good fit as a fitness instructor in the future. Thinking about it, it didn't seem like a bad idea, since Heath wasn't really interested in battling anyway.

Heath called Charmander and took the Pokémon to the bathroom to wash up, while waiting for them to take turns using the toilet. After the Pokémon finished tidying up, Heath took them to the food truck, set up autopilot, and drove towards the market.

[A Small Step for Pokémon Chefs: Teach Farfetch'd to Select and Identify Ingredients, and You'll Receive a Random Reward]

Heath paused for a moment on the food truck. He really hadn't expected to trigger a mission on the food truck. However, the mission was quite simple. Identifying ingredients wasn't difficult, but becoming very proficient at it was quite challenging.

Fortunately, the task did not require him to be proficient in the skills, so Heath remained quite calm.

"Farfetch'd, how's your training going?" Heath asked, watching Farfetch'd still tossing the wok. Farfetch'd shook its head, feeling that its stamina was still a bit weak.

Heath stroked his chin. Farfetch'd's problem was easy to solve. As long as he got the Silver Crown and Farfetch'd's HP or Attack increased, Farfetch'd's body should become much stronger.

However, aside from the two silver crowns she received last time, Heath hadn't obtained any other crowns, which gave her a bit of a headache. It would be fantastic if this mission reward included a silver crown.

When they arrived at the market, Heath got out of the car with Farfetch'd and started selecting ingredients. While selecting, Heath shared some of his experiences and insights with Farfetch'd, such as gently poking the meat with his finger and then smelling it.

Of course, Farfetch'd learning how to select ingredients also made Sheath feel a little pained. After all, Farfetch'd is a Pokémon, and Sheath basically had to buy any ingredients that its wings touched, otherwise she would offend people.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Under Heath's tutelage, the green onion duck quickly mastered the basic methods of selecting ingredients.

You have obtained a random clue to a legend.

[On the mountains west of Viridian City, there is said to be a group of very special white Pokémon.]

Heath sat on the dining car, stunned. Good heavens, all he got for completing the mission was a clue? But what kind of legendary clue was it?

Heath was a little confused about how his cheat system judged clues, but legendary clues all sounded very powerful, so the west side of Evergreen City...

“I remember that’s the mountain range that connects to the Johto region…” Heath scratched his head. That location is where the Indigo Plateau is located, which is also the headquarters of the Kanto League, the venue for the Indigo League, and where the Elite Four also live.

Crossing the mountains, you'll reach the Johto region, which is similar to the Kanto region, but the Pokémon there are quite different.

“I always feel like I have a knack for being obsessed with white.” Heath sighed. The last clue from Zoroya was about a white figure in the Evergreen Forest. Later, Heath learned that the white was the color of the little girl’s dress that Zoroya had transformed into.

The only question is what kind of white Pokémon it is this time, and what a very special white Pokémon it is, which makes Heath very curious about that location.

"Once I get my driver's license, I'll go to Quartz Plateau first," Heath decided quickly.

Originally, Heath planned to go to Pallet Town, as starting his journey there would be quite interesting. However, Heath now had some other ideas. He wanted to see what kind of Pokémon deserved such a legendary rating from the cheat system. It couldn't possibly be a bunch of Lugia, could it?

Chapter 97 A Man's Unspeakable Secret

Although he was very curious about what kind of Pokémon would earn a legendary rating from Goldfinger, Heath wasn't interested in the Indigo Plateau west of Viridian City for the time being. He drove his food truck to his usual spot and started his morning business.

"Heath, you're up so early again today." It was Mr. Yaning. He looked a little tired, with dark circles under his eyes, which I wondered if Mrs. Yaning had been working him down.

Generally speaking, young men are at their most energetic, but as they get older, and with the daily commute to work after adulthood, it is generally very difficult to maintain the same level of energy as when they were young.

This is also the main reason why many people, after getting married, degenerate from having sex several times a night to having sex only once every few days.

So when Heath saw Mr. Yaning rubbing his back, he felt genuine sympathy for him. Mr. Yaning already had a daughter, but his wife was planning to have a second child. It was really making Mr. Yaning suffer.

“After all, I get up so early every morning, so I’ve gotten used to it over time.” Heath smiled. Due to his biological clock, Heath wakes up at a fixed time every day and then can’t fall back asleep, and he has gotten used to this lifestyle.

"Youth is wonderful. Could I have a jianbing guozi with an egg, please?" Mr. Yaning said with a nostalgic expression. Heath nodded, both amused and exasperated, and began preparing the jianbing guozi for Mr. Yaning.

While making the jianbing guozi in his hands, Heath glanced at the bag that Mr. Yaning was carrying. It seemed to be a bag left over from shopping at the market. Heath saw a lot of chives inside.

Hiss paused for a moment. The pronunciation of chives in the Pokémon world was quite interesting; chives and "long-lived vegetable" sounded the same. So, could it be that Mr. Yaning was...

“Mr. Yaning, although it’s called leeks, leeks actually don’t have any effect on that aspect,” Heath said softly, looking at Mr. Yaning.

With a "pfft," Mr. Yaning looked at Heath with a flushed face, not even paying attention to why the green caterpillar on Heath's head was making a pfft sound.

"That's not what I meant!" Mr. Yaning said excitedly. No man would be happy to be suspected of having a problem in that area.

"Of course I know you didn't mean that, Mr. Yaning." Heath waved his hand with a smile, then handed the finished jianbing guozi to Mr. Yaning. He and Mr. Yaning had a fairly good relationship, so they wouldn't argue over this.

Mr. Yaning then accepted the jianbing guozi with satisfaction, paid for it, and left with his vegetable bag, while Heath heard something fall to the ground.

Heath curiously stepped off the dining car and took a look, only to find it was a black medicine bottle.

"Hmm... to make you as hard as a groundhog... huh?" Heath stared blankly at the bottle in his hand. Groundhog brand antihistamines, their main function seemed a bit strange...
