I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Hiss's eyes lit up as he thought of something else. The entrance to the Victory Road was not far ahead, and Hiss figured he could probably park his food truck at the entrance and make some money. After all, trainers who had made it this far were usually not short of money.

With that in mind, Heath changed the destination of the food truck, and the food truck changed its final destination as well. Heath rubbed his hands together and called Farfetch'd out of the lounge. He was going to start some preparations.

Just as Heath was about to start preparing the ingredients, his phone vibrated. Heath opened his phone and saw an unread message from Qiuqiu.

Sealball is a Pokémon-themed app similar to WeChat and QQ. However, the app's developers really like seal balls, so they chose the cute seal ball as the product's image. And, similar to QQ, the company's name features two seal balls side by side, one ordinary and one sparkling.

People in the Pokémon world like to call it Ball Communication, but Heath thinks QQ Communication is also a very good name.

"Mr. Giovanni is really fast." Heath was a little surprised. He had just asked Mr. Giovanni how to breed the green onions for Farfetch'd ducks, but he didn't expect Giovanni to send the method so quickly.

Heath took a closer look. The method of cultivating Farfetch'd's green onions was indeed very unique. According to Mr. Giovanni, the Pokémon professors he consulted all said that the method of cultivating Farfetch'd's green onions was quite complicated, but it was also quite simple. It involved adding tree fruit powder to the soil in a suitable water and soil environment to increase the nutrients in the soil so that Farfetch'd's green onions could sprout.

However, it's worth noting that Farfetch'd's green onions only react to the fruit powder from the orange berries. This discovery relieved Heath, since orange berries are among the cheaper fruits, so the burden on the fruit is relatively small.

After resolving the green onion issue with the leek duck, Heath calmed down considerably. He replied with a thank you message and then included a recipe for spicy chicken. Heath thought Giovanni would like this gift.

After putting away her phone, Heath continued preparing the ingredients she would need to process later. Although it wasn't the start of the Indigo League yet, there were still many trainers heading to the Champion Road for training, so it was better to prepare early.

But before Heath could roll up his sleeves, the food cart slowly came to a stop. Heath was stunned. Could it be that we'd arrived already?

Chapter 117 Saya

"Hello~ Can I get a ride?" A sweet voice called out. Heath was taken aback. He thought he had arrived at his destination, but he didn't expect to meet someone who wanted a ride.

Heath's smart food truck has a very powerful autonomous driving function. It will avoid obstacles and deal with pedestrians according to the situation. Obviously, this time it encountered someone blocking the truck.

However, what Heath was most satisfied with was that this smart food cart did not have any brake failures or judgment malfunctions, making it very easy to use.

"Wow~ I've seen this plot before. Next, you, the trainer, will find that this girl is a pervert. You think you're a lecher and can take advantage of her, but you end up being squeezed dry. Then you throw her out, and she gets targeted by another lecher..." Zoroa said with great interest.

Heath flicked Zoroya's forehead without expression. This guy, whose head was full of lewd nonsense, was hopeless. Who knows where Zoroya got all these strange things from?

Heath opened the car door and saw a girl with long black hair looking curiously into the empty driver's seat. She was dressed very cutely, and Heath admitted that he was a little distracted.

"Excuse me, are you looking for a ride? Where are you going?" Heath looked around and didn't see anyone else, so it probably wasn't a honey trap.

"Ah, hello, I want to go to the Champions Road, but I'm lost..." The girl smiled shyly. Heath said "oh," no wonder she was hitchhiking from this spot. Considering that she was a very cute girl, Heath agreed to her request for a ride.

"You slut!" Soloar shouted excitedly as soon as the girl got into the car, only to be met with a death stare from Heath.

The girl clearly hadn't heard Zoroastrian's telepathic voice; she was standing smiling beside Heath.

“I’m going to the Road to the Championship too… I’m a chef, so please sit in the passenger seat if you don’t mind.” Heath led the girl into the driver’s seat and then sat down himself.

Although Heath thought the autopilot function was quite useful, there would be a big problem if the girl curiously poked at it a couple of times.

"Thank you. I'm Saya, a trainer striving to become a Pokémon Master! It's nice to meet you!" The girl extended her hand gracefully. Hiss paused for a moment, but still shook it in a friendly manner.

However, the girl's name reminded Heath of something else, such as the highly controversial "Saya no Uta" from his previous life. It had a rather unique flavor and received mixed reviews. Heath had never played it, but had only read the explanation.

Heath nodded, then started his food truck and continued forward following the map's directions, while Saya sat quietly beside him, occasionally taking out her phone to tap a screen.

Heath soon spotted the location of the Road to the Champions, a mountain road with some minor decorations.

"Would you like something to eat? Here's the price list." Heath took out the menu and showed it to Saya.

Saya glanced at the food with curiosity, then was surprised to find that she had never seen the names of many of the dishes before. As it was getting dark, Heath turned on the headlights to illuminate the road ahead.

"What can we order now?" Saya asked curiously, as she had never seen these dishes before.

"Hmm... Jianbing (Chinese crepe), braised pork rice, braised pork rice, and egg fried rice. Oh, and if you want scallions, a serving of scallions is ten yuan." Heath quickly introduced the dishes, then casually placed his table and chairs in the spotlight of the food cart.

"Then please make me some fried rice with eggs, and some scallions will do." Saya quickly decided what she wanted to eat. Heath nodded, thinking that the other party was probably ordering out of courtesy.

After accepting the money from Saya, Heath quickly prepared a plate of fried rice. Saya happily said goodbye to Heath and left, carrying her plate of fried rice.

"I feel like I made a mistake. Will anyone be on the Road to Champions tonight?" Heath frowned as he looked at the quiet road and the nearby forest. Saya was the only guest he had just seen.

"Trainer, are you a little disappointed?" Zoroa said with a playful smile. Hiss rolled his eyes, not quite understanding why he should be disappointed.

Heath walked back to the food truck, whose lights illuminated the area, but there was still no one there. Heath touched his arm, thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to do any business tonight.

[You entertained Saya Joy, and you gained the burning flame of your will.]

Heath was startled by the sudden notification, but then he realized something was wrong. He had only entertained one guest, Miss Saya.

Combining the information from the cheat code, Heath thought of the other person's black hair and Miss Joey from Evergreen City, who was said to have run away from home.

Joey is their surname, but their given names will be different. Heath had heard from Sister Feng that members of the Joey family usually have very long full names, so they often shorten their names.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?" Heath pinched his brow, feeling a bit amused and exasperated. If he really did run into Joey, who had run away from home, Heath didn't know what to say.

While the Nurse Joy family primarily focuses on Pokémon healing, and most Nurse Joys become adorable Pokémon healthcare workers, some Nurse Joys take a different path. For example, some Nurse Joys become Pokémon Inspectors, responsible for assessing the strength of Gym Leaders.

Some Nurse Joys are judges at Pokémon Contests, while others are tasked with distributing starter Pokémon to trainers in the city.

Heath shook his head. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Heath touched his pocket and felt something warm.

But before Heath could take it out, the lump of something disappeared, leaving Heath somewhat bewildered. What had happened?

[You used the Burning Will, increasing your resistance to Pokémon attacks.]

Hiss's lips twitched. So this is how the "Will of Fire" is used. But it's pretty useful. After all, in the real world, not every trainer will obediently follow the League's requirements for battle.

There are many people who increase their chances of winning by attacking the opponent's trainers, especially evil organizations, who like to do this.

Chapter 118 Quantum Fluctuation, Two-Flow, Three-Gamma Engine

Although Heath felt that as a chef, he would hardly encounter such things, he was still very satisfied with this Flame of Will, at least it improved his survival ability.

"There aren't many customers..." Heath scratched his head and glanced out of the car. Outside was an empty open space, and the road was very quiet. Only occasionally could he see some trucks speeding past him.

Heath realized he had miscalculated. When he opened for business at night, he should have prepared a brightly lit neon sign with the word "restaurant" on it; otherwise, people driving by wouldn't know what he did.

"Looks like I need to buy a few more things in the next city." Heath took out his notebook and wrote down the neon signs. Heath had a lot to buy now. Food was one thing, furniture was another, and now there were neon signs too.

After waiting for about an hour, Heath finally brought his table and chairs back. He was now certain that there were few people on the Road to the Championship at night, but he didn't know if there would be any tomorrow, and he also didn't know if the food he had stored would be enough.

After moving his things back and closing the windows and doors, Heath opened the door to the lounge, crawled inside, put on his sleeping bag, and was ready to go to sleep.

"Huh? I have such a big bed!" Zoroia said with a disappointed look, circling Heath's sleeping bag twice in disdain.

“I’ll buy more in the next city. I didn’t expect this food cart to be big enough to fit a bed when I left home,” Heath said with a yawn, not seeming to care much.

After all, the previous dining car only had a small lounge area, barely big enough to fit a sleeping bag, so Heath didn't bring any bedding. He didn't expect the lounge to be expanded now.

"Hmph, all you want is to squeeze in with me to sleep, right? Since you've gone to such lengths to prepare, I'll reluctantly grant your unreasonable request." Zoroya raised his head and then crawled into Heath's sleeping bag.

Heath pulled Zoroya out expressionlessly. What was this guy thinking? The sleeping bag was only so big, where was there room for Zoroya to squeeze in and sleep?

Ignoring the protesting Sororia, Heath crawled into his sleeping bag, then took out his phone and glanced at it. He was now out of Evergreen City, and the humid weather had disappeared, which relieved Heath.

"Will there be a slight drop in temperature and snowfall in the Champions Road and Quartz Plateau area tomorrow?" Heath scratched his head, not expecting to encounter such bad weather on his first day out. Luckily, Heath had brought a down jacket and other such items. However, the dining car could also be set with a temperature control, which made things much easier for Heath.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Big Green Duck was sitting in the dining car's lounge, stroking his chin and looking at the floor with a thoughtful expression.

"Farfly, what's wrong?" Zoroya curiously approached Farfly.

"Onion..." the big green onion duck murmured, looking puzzled.

Zoroya paused for a moment, then turned and ran to Heath's side, nudging Heath's face with its paw. Heath reluctantly opened its eyes and looked at Zoroya in front of it.

"Trainer! What drives this car?" Zoroya asked curiously. Farfetch'd also came over, while Charmander, having finished its training for the day, lay down next to Heath, drinking its protein powder.

Heath looked at Soroya with some surprise. This little guy actually asked such a question? This was quite unexpected for Heath, since he had thought that these little guys wouldn't even think of this question.

Heath took out his backpack and rummaged through it, then pulled out a book titled "Detailed Description of the Shiruff Experimental Dining Cart," opened it, and found the annotations.

"This food truck uses the latest quantum fluctuation two-flow-speed three-gamma engine from the Shiruff Company, which has the function of internal energy circulation and unlimited use. It does not require refueling or battery replacement." Heath read it briefly, then put the book back.

Meanwhile, Zoroah and Farfetch'd had "I get it" expressions on their faces, but Heath was certain that the two little guys didn't understand, because Heath himself couldn't understand it either.

However, Heath understood that the annotation was meant to appease the others, and that Heath's food truck was essentially a nuclear-powered flashlight that didn't require gasoline, which made things much easier for Heath.

After all, even in the world of Pokémon, gasoline is very expensive, and it usually only goes up and never down, which is frustrating.

"Go to sleep, we have to get up tomorrow." Heath yawned, then told Charmander to turn off the lights, and they spent their first night in the wild.

……

Heath didn't sleep well that night because he found that he was a bit of a light sleeper. He tossed and turned in his sleeping bag and couldn't fall asleep. It took him a long time to finally drift off.

So when Heath woke up naturally the next day, he still felt somewhat tired. Heath stared blankly at Zoroya sleeping on his sleeping bag, and it took him a long time to finally wake up.

"This little guy, didn't he say he didn't want to sleep in his sleeping bag?" Heath looked at Zoroya with a wry smile, then turned to look around. Farfetch'd was also sleeping next to his sleeping bag, but Charmander was nowhere to be seen.

However, Heath could already hear Charmander huffing and puffing as it trained in the living room, which made Heath chuckle. Charmander was truly a considerate Pokémon, knowing that training here would disturb others, so it deliberately ran outside.

"Get up!" Heath grabbed Zorua by the neck and stood up. Zorua opened his eyes sleepily, while Farfetch'd yawned and stood up as well.

Heath called over Charmander, who was running around in the living room, and then took his Pokémon to the bathroom to wash up. There was water on the food cart, which Heath didn't know was reasonable, but it saved him a lot of trouble.

"Trainer... why are you up so early? Going grocery shopping?" Zoroya asked sleepily as he brushed his teeth.

Heath paused for a moment. Right, what was he planning to do so early? This was the entrance to the Champions Road, in the middle of nowhere. Forget about a market, you couldn't even find a cleaner.

Gradually, Heath's brushing motions slowed down. Zorua was watching him with narrowed eyes, clearly having also thought of this.

"Ahem, of course it's to go out and find ingredients. A qualified chef must learn to gather ingredients in the wild." Heath quickly came up with a reason.

Chapter 119 Ingredients Only Available on Snowy Days

"Onion?" Farfetch'd looked at Heath with interest. Heath's words had clearly piqued Farfetch'd's interest, while Zoroia looked at Heath with disgust. She could tell at a glance that Heath was just making excuses.

However, Heath didn't care whether Zorua saw through her or not. After washing up and having breakfast, Heath took her Pokémon and pushed open the door of the food cart.

“Generally speaking, you can find a lot of… um… ice particles in the wild this season.” Heath pushed open the door of the food cart, intending to say that there would be a lot of wild mushrooms, but to his surprise, he saw a vast expanse of white.

Heath opened his mouth, what was going on? Didn't yesterday's weather forecast say that today would only see a drop in temperature and snow in some areas? How come it's like I've suddenly been transported to the three northeastern provinces in winter?

Heath instinctively closed the door, but the moment he opened it, he felt a chill run through him, making him shiver. He realized he wasn't dressed warmly enough.

"I'm not going! It's too cold!" Zoroya quickly ran into the room, but Heath still dragged her out.

Charmander followed Heath with a serious expression. Through the reluctant translation of Zorroia, Heath understood Charmander's thoughts. Charmander felt that the cold weather was also a kind of mental and physical training, and it planned to accompany Heath.

Farfetch'd, meanwhile, was happily building a snowman in the snow. He was so fast that Heath didn't even notice when Farfetch'd had slipped down.

After changing into a thicker set of clothes, Zoroya crawled into Heath's clothes, leaving only her small head sticking out. Heath looked at Zoroya helplessly, but still pushed open the door and left her dining car.

"This snow is really heavy." Heath rubbed his hands together. It rarely snows in Evergreen City. After all, it's rare for big cities to get snow, let alone Evergreen City, which is located near the south.
