I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Heath had not inquired about Musashi's background, and although she knew about this pair of lovable and charming villains in her previous life, she did not remember Musashi and Kojiro's background. She only remembered that Kojiro seemed to be a rich man, while Musashi's life was rather tragic.

But this did not stop Heath from entertaining his guests.

Dumplings are one of the staple foods in Chinese cuisine. Of course, in some regions, dumplings are eaten as a side dish. However, Heath thinks that dumplings are a staple food. Sometimes when I'm hungry at night and too lazy to cook, I can just boil some frozen dumplings and eat them.

Moreover, they are very filling. Basically, if you eat dumplings for a main meal, you won't feel hungry afterwards. Of course, this doesn't apply to people with big appetites.

However, in the Pokémon world, dumplings are a dish, usually pan-fried. Although Heath also likes pan-fried dumplings, boiled dumplings are more to his liking, so when making dumplings for Jessie, Heath made them in the same way as boiled dumplings.

Heath made a very ordinary chive and pork filling. After quickly wrapping it, she put it aside and waited for Musashi to arrive before cooking it. However, she could boil the water beforehand.

Soon, Heath spotted Musashi. Heath placed the wrapped dumplings into the boiling water and stirred them constantly with a spoon to prevent them from sticking together, as this would be troublesome and affect the taste.

"Miss Musashi, how long do you plan to stay in Evergreen City this time?" Heath asked Musashi, who was often away from home and rarely stayed in Evergreen City.

"I don't know, it depends on how the company arranges it..." Musashi yawned lazily and leaned against the edge of the Heath food cart.

“Miss Musashi travels a lot for work, so I rarely see you.” Heath put the lid on the pot, then turned to prepare a dipping sauce for Musashi’s dumplings.

However, after Jessie teamed up with James and Meowth, and then encountered the destined Pokémon Master who always wore a hat and never grew up, Heath felt that Jessie had a clear direction. After all, Jessie had been following Ash all the way to different regions.

Even though Team Rocket was wiped out, I don't know why the trio is so persistent in following Ash. It's true love.

"I don't want to go on business trips either. To be honest, I used to want to be a nurse. I even studied at the Chansey Nursing Academy!" Musashi rested his chin on one hand, looking at the white dumplings in Heath's pot with a somewhat vacant expression.

Heath put the prepared dipping sauce into a small box, then opened the pot lid and continued cooking the dumplings. He had heard Musashi mention this many times before.

Jessie doesn't seem to mind others knowing about her past, and she even chuckled as she recounted embarrassing incidents from her time at the Chansey Nurse Academy, such as how she would be hypnotized by Chansey every time it sang to comfort an injured Pokémon.

It was precisely for this reason that Jessie did not become a Pokémon Nurse, but instead ended up with Team Rocket, where she finally settled down.

"Miss Musashi, here are your dumplings. It's the humid season, so Miss Musashi should hurry home, or your family will be in trouble." Heath smiled as she packed the dumplings into a box and handed it to Musashi.

Musashi held the box in her hands, looking at the white dumplings in front of her, her eyes filled with a strange sadness and nostalgia.

"As expected, I have to eat Heath's dumplings when I get back. That's what makes life complete~" Musashi paid with a smile, then happily rode off on her bike.

You entertained Musashi, and in return, you received the snow from your memories that could fill your stomach.

Heath was taken aback. After entertaining Musashi, he was given something he had never heard of before? This surprised Heath. Heath had thought that he might be given candy or something else, but he did not expect to be given snow.

Heath felt his pockets; he didn't have the item. He opened the cabinet and looked inside, but still nothing. Only after opening the refrigerator did he finally see the reward item.

A bottle of snow was smashed into a large glass jar, packed full, but it looked no different from ordinary snow.

[Snow, which I remember as a source of sustenance: can be used to make any kind of dish and perfectly replicate the best flavors, without leaving you feeling full (when you're starving, a dish made with snow can be a comfort)]

Heath stared blankly at the bottle in front of him. He had a feeling that this bottle of snow was probably related to Musashi, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what that relationship was.

"A perfect replica of the best flavor? If it's just like I imagined, that would be amazing." Heath looked at the bottle in front of him. The bottle wasn't very big, and he wondered how many times the snow inside could be used.

There are some dishes that you can never taste at their best. For example, Goubuli steamed buns from China. Legend has it that Goubuli steamed buns were so delicious that they could conquer the discerning palate of Empress Dowager Cixi. But what did the best Goubuli steamed buns taste like back then?

This is a question that no one knows the answer to yet, but now Heath finds himself with an opportunity, a chance to try it out and taste it, and perhaps he can recreate these lost cuisines.

"It's a... somewhat sad, yet remarkable thing." Heath closed the refrigerator door. He didn't plan to use it for the time being; he would try it out once everything was ready.

Chapter 101 Sakaki was sitting at home when a pot fell from the sky.

Heath had once watched an anime called Food Wars!, in which the female protagonist had a tongue known as the God Tongue, capable of tasting the flavors of food and the seasonings used, making her extremely picky about food; it was a legendary tongue.

However, that thing is fiction after all. In the real world, an experienced chef can roughly deduce the cooking method and some of the seasonings of a dish just by eating it. This means that as long as Heath is prepared, he can try to deduce the recipe and seasonings used in a lost dish.

So this bottle of snow, which he remembered as being able to fill his stomach, was actually a good thing for Heath.

After Musashi left, Heath sat comfortably in his dining car, studying while entertaining the guests who came from time to time.

"Heath, give me forty-three servings of jianbing guozi." It was Sister Ling, but today Sister Ling looked a little serious and heavy, which made Heath subconsciously stand up.

"Okay, just a moment." Heath immediately started making pancakes with all his might. The fact that Sister Ling came to buy breakfast could only mean that Officer Jenny was too busy to eat breakfast this morning, so she came to him to buy breakfast when she had a little free time.

This worried Heath; what had happened?

"Sister Ling, may I ask what happened?" Heath asked cautiously. If Officer Jenny were standing in front of him, Heath wouldn't have said a word. Officer Jenny was a very serious person.

“We received a report this morning… Nurse Joy, a highly regarded member of the Joy family, hailed as a genius Pokémon medic, has gone missing.” Officer Jenny hesitated noticeably, but seeing Hiss’s worried expression, she lowered her voice and whispered.

Heath's eyes widened in surprise. How dare someone provoke the Joey family?

Although the Nurse Joy family specializes in training Pokémon healers, their strength extends far beyond just healers. Officer Jenny and the Nurse Joy families are the cornerstones of all Pokémon leagues; no league can function without members from these two families.

Furthermore, the Joy family's policy of providing free medical care for minor illnesses has benefited countless trainers. It can be said that almost every trainer in the league owes the Joy family a favor. It is precisely for this reason that the Joy family is rarely attacked.

After all, attacking the Joy family means facing their counterattack, the League's fury, and even being ostracized by all the trainers in the League. This is the status the Joy family has achieved over the years through their actions.

What's more, the missing person this time is a genius Pokémon medic from the Nurse Joy family. It's hard to imagine who would dare to do such a thing in Viridian City.

"Is this Joey Snow?" Heath put the finished pancake in his pocket and then made the next one.

“No, it’s someone else.” Officer Jenny shook her head and didn’t say anything more.

Heath nodded. He understood Jun Lingling's concerns. If there were evidence that the missing Miss Joey had been kidnapped, Evergreen City would instantly become a disgrace to the entire Quartz Alliance, and its title as the safest city would be stripped away.

Changqing City won't be so peaceful then.

Even with Heath's lightning-fast hands, it would still take a long time to make forty-three jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). Once they were done, Officer Jenny put down the money, took the jianbing guozi, and quickly left.

"These are turbulent times, but Mr. Sakaki must be having a headache too." Heath scratched his head. He knew perfectly well that after the disappearance of the Joey family members, the first organization the Alliance would suspect was...

After all, during this period, what other organization in the league could be considered the strongest and most prominent besides the Rockets?

Just as Heath was thinking this, Zhao Fang saw Giovanni leading several gym trainers hurriedly pass by Heath. It was clear that Giovanni was in a very bad mood; his smiling expression was gone, replaced by anger and displeasure.

It's clear that this incident has nothing to do with Team Rocket, otherwise Giovanni wouldn't have that expression, looking like a lion discovering that some thief has infiltrated his territory.

"Trainer, what's going on? Why are there so many people on the street?" Zoroa jumped onto Hiss's head, causing Hiss to sway slightly; Zoroa's impact was quite strong.

"Nothing much, just some infuriating things happened." Heath looked at the calm pedestrians on the street and knew that the matter was currently being kept under wraps, and no one else knew about it.

"Trainer~ I've finished reading my novel~" Zoroia called out in a sweet and coquettish voice. Even before Zoroia said anything, Hiss knew what the fox wanted to express.

"Forget it, you've already used up your novel quota for this period. If you want to read novels, wait until next week," Heath said irritably. Zoroya reads novels every day, except for mealtimes and rest time.

Although the three novels together are quite thick, they are still not enough compared to Zoroya's reading speed.

"Uncle~ buy me a novel~" Zoroia jumped down from Heath's head and transformed into a white-haired, animal-eared little girl, grabbing Heath's clothes and shaking them while calling out in a childish voice.

"It's no use, I'm not buying it." Heath said expressionlessly.

"Oh my god~ little brother, would you like to buy your sister a novel~" Zoroia glared angrily at Heath, and then a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of Heath. Zoroia even deliberately made her clothes look revealing.

Heath rolled his eyes in exasperation. This Zoroya was hopeless. Heath thought that maybe he would only be able to clean up all the yellow waste in Zoroya's brain when he got some kind of memory cleaner. Until then, Zoroya's brain was really beyond saving.

"Trainer! Are you incompetent?! Why are you so unmoved?!" Zoroah angrily transformed into its original form, speaking with a displeased expression.

"No, why would I be attracted to a woman with a devilish figure but a face with superhuman strength?" Heath looked at Soraya in confusion. This guy must have read too many novels. The mature woman he just transformed into had the best figure, but had a face with superhuman strength.

There's absolutely no response!

Chapter 102, Step 4 Mission Completed

Heath stared speechlessly at Zoroia. If Zoroia had just transformed into a fair-skinned, beautiful, and curvaceous top woman, Heath might have expressed some respect. But seeing a monstrous woman with a devilish figure looking at him with seductive eyes, it was already a huge feat for Heath to resist vomiting.

"Huh? A superhuman face?" Looking at Zoroya's stunned expression, Heath shook his head helplessly. This little guy probably didn't expect how amazing he had just looked.

It could even be described as frightening.

After realizing that entanglement was useless, Zoroah had a sudden inspiration and came up with some other methods.

"Trainer, Trainer, can I work to earn money to buy novels?" Zoroya looked at Hiss expectantly. Hiss was stunned for a moment; he really didn't expect Zoroya to say such a thing.

“It’s not that it’s impossible… but there’s nothing you can do right now.” Heath looked at Zoroya and stroked his chin.

Zoroar's abilities are actually quite useful, but the problem is that they're not very useful in a restaurant. Chopping vegetables, cooking, and helping out are left to Farfetch'd, and Charmander is in charge of starting the fire. All Zoroar can do now is probably just be cute.

Once the restaurant expands further, Heath thinks he can have Soraya work part-time as a waiter.

"Please settle the translation fee!" Zoroia transformed back into a little girl with animal ears, happily extending her delicate white hand and smiling at Heath as she spoke.

Hiss's lips twitched, but upon reflection, he realized that Zorua's translation function had indeed been a great help. So, with a pained expression, Hiss took out one hundred Alliance Coins from his wallet and handed them to Zorua.

"We'll settle things once a week, but you'll have to do a good job translating for me during this time." Heath glanced at Zoroya, who nodded happily.

Heath was looking forward to what the reward would be once Farfetch'd learned to make Sanbuzhan (a type of stir-fry). Heath was particularly excited about the possibility of receiving a potion that could grant him superpowers.

"Of course! I'm going to the bookstore!" Zoroya said happily. Heath glanced at his phone; it was about time.

Heath drove Zoroya to buy some books, and then went to the department store next to the bookstore. Heath planned to buy a gift for Maple there, and he had already decided what kind of gift it would be.

"Hiss... This phone is really expensive..." Heath clutched his wallet in pain. He decided to return a phone to Sister Feng. After all, Sister Feng's phone hadn't been changed in a long time. While others could make video calls, Sister Feng's phone could only make calls and send text messages.

"Trainer, are you very reluctant to part with him?" Zoroa lay in the rest area of ​​the food truck, looking at Hiss curiously.

"No, I won't feel bad about it once I've made a decision, but I'll still feel the pain when it hurts." Heath shook his head. He wouldn't care if the gift for Sister Feng cost him all his savings.

Fortunately, Heath managed to squeeze a lot of money out of Ms. Lori's Gengar and Ms. Sabrina, otherwise, just buying this phone would probably have used up all the money Heath had saved up during this period.

"Speaking of which, it's about time we tried preparing some pickles or something in advance." Heath set the food truck to autopilot and drove it toward the driving school.

Heath planned to take the driving school exam in the afternoon. It was said that if you did well, there would be some special rewards. However, Heath didn't know what these special rewards were. Surely they couldn't be teaching him how to drift, could they? That would be too outrageous.

"Hey, how's your 'three-no-stick' study going?" Heath rubbed his hands together. The humid weather was a bit chilly today, and Heath especially hated this kind of weather.

Fortunately, the dining car had air conditioning to keep it warm; otherwise, Heath didn't know if he would have been too cold to even hold a spatula.

"Scallion~" The scallion duck patted its chest proudly.

“Onion said it’s worth a try.” Soroya said, flipping through the book “The Untold Story of the Handsome Boy Trainer and the Mighty Wolfdog” while helping Heath translate.

"Then let's give it a try." Heath nodded. If Farfetch'd could learn it, it would save Heath a lot of trouble and even make him happy, since Farfetch'd's quest had been stuck for several days.

Farfetch'd confidently walked up, and Charmander curiously put down the dumbbells in his hand and stood next to Heath, watching.

Heath glanced at Charmander. Perhaps it's because Pokémon develop abnormally in the Pokémon world, but after training for just a few days, Charmander's muscles had already grown quite a bit, leaving Heath stunned.

Heath had a feeling that if things continued like this, he might end up with a muscular, powerful guy standing next to him.

However, as Farfetch'd started making the "Three No-Stick" dish, Heath watched it intently as it tossed the wok. Heath nodded in satisfaction; at this pace, it shouldn't be too difficult for Farfetch'd to succeed.

Finally, after the food truck stopped, the three-no-stick sauce for the scallion duck was finished. Although the scallion duck was so tired that its wings were trembling, at least according to Heath's standards, this three-no-stick sauce was ready to be served to the guests.

"Not bad, not bad, you have indeed made great progress. But you should know that a chef's physical strength is also very important. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle too many dishes and customers. Do you want the customers to go hungry?" Heath looked at the leek duck with satisfaction and encouraged it with a smile. The leek duck nodded happily.

[Big Green Duck single-handedly created a dish of "Three No-Sticks," and you received the "Life Starts Over Drink," along with a clue for a designated area.]
