I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 125 Lugia!

Heath looked at Lugia with surprise, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. Heath really liked Lugia, after all, his first Pokémon game was Pokémon Silver, and Lugia was the cover animal back then. It was strong and beautiful, and it was one of Heath's favorite Pokémon.

So much so that no matter which generation she played later, as long as Lugia was available, Sheath would raise Lugia to be one of her main Pokémon. However, after being transported to the world of Pokémon, Sheath's enthusiasm waned. Lugia is a legendary Pokémon, possessing immense power in this world, and it's not as easy to catch as it is in the games.

"I didn't say anything wrong. You stay at home all day. I would have thought you were doing something else entirely. If I hadn't dragged you out, you probably wouldn't have gone out for a long time." Ho-Oh looked at Lugia with annoyance. Heath continued making shredded pork with garlic sauce, but also listened to the conversation between Ho-Oh and Lugia.

As Hiss prepared the dish, the air was filled with the unique aroma of shredded pork with garlic sauce. The aroma distracted Lugia, as it was the first time Lugia had ever smelled such a wonderful scent. Even Ho-Oh couldn't help but turn its head to take a look.

"After all, if I go out, it will cause trouble for other people, so I don't really want to go out." Lugia shook her head and smiled indifferently.

Heath was curious as to what could have prompted Lugia to say such a thing.

Heath poured the shredded meat into the wok and began to stir-fry the shredded pork with garlic sauce. Onion Duck watched attentively from the side. Clearly, Onion Duck had not yet realized how special the two girls standing in front of him were, although calling them girls was not entirely accurate.

Unlike Ho-Oh's youthful form, Lugia's human form is more mature, giving off a college student vibe, and is also taller than Ho-Oh. It's unclear what Lugia's reasons were for transforming into this form.

"Hmph, that's not your fault. Besides, there are always storms and torrential rains on the high seas." Ho-Oh paused as it spoke, glanced at Heath, and then lowered its voice to say something after noticing that Heath was 'focused' on cooking.

Hiss remained calm, but in his heart he recalled some legends about Lugia. Legend has it that Lugia could cause storms that lasted for forty days with a single flap of its wings, making it a true rain god in the Pokémon world. That is why Lugia has always lived in the depths of the sea.

If this is true, then Lugia is truly amazing. Just by flapping its wings in a place where there is no rain, it can bring rain. However, a storm that lasts forty days is indeed a bit too outrageous. More rain is not always better; sometimes there is a limit. Excessive rain can become a problem.

After all, floods are not something to be taken lightly; too much water can become a disaster that endangers people's lives.

What Heath didn't expect was that Lugia had become an otaku, which was quite unexpected.

It seems that living alone for a long time has turned Lugia into a homebody. As for Lugia, Hiss remembers the Dark Lugia that he had heard of before, but he can't remember where the Dark Lugia came from.

However, its strength seems to be similar to Lugia's, and it belongs to a different branch of the Pokémon series.

"Hello, your shredded pork with garlic sauce rice bowl is ready. Please eat it while it's hot." Heath smiled and placed the shredded pork with garlic sauce rice bowl in front of Ho-Oh and Lugia, interrupting the conversation between the two legendary Pokémon.

"Okay, thank you." Lugia smiled and accepted it, and Ho-Oh also accepted it.

Seeing the two mythical beasts eating in front of him, Heath couldn't help but smile. Then he poured a cup of hot water for the two beasts. Drinking some hot water is quite nice when the weather is cold.

"Not bad... Your cooking skills are indeed... cough cough, not very good." Ho-Oh took the first bite and looked at Heath with surprise, but after seeing the smile on Heath's face, he swallowed back what he was about to say. Heath almost laughed. How much did this guy not want to admit that his cooking was delicious?

However, Heath was somewhat familiar with Ho-Oh's personality, so even if Ho-Oh said it didn't taste good, Heath wouldn't take it seriously, after all, Ho-Oh was a somewhat arrogant legendary Pokémon.

"It tastes great! I really like it. It definitely has a fishy flavor." Lugia gave Heath a generous compliment, and her gentle expression made Heath feel much more at ease.

The two mythical beasts quickly finished a bowl of shredded pork with garlic sauce over rice. Then Lugia took out 100 League Coins and handed them to Hiss, which made Hiss look a little strange. How did Lugia get League Coins?

Could it be that they used superpowers to turn a leaf into Alliance currency? That's certainly a question worth exploring.

Heath planned to wait and see if the Alliance Coin would suddenly turn into a leaf or a seashell, but he was fairly certain that Lugia wouldn't do such a thing.

However, Hiss wasn't foolish enough to ask, so he smiled, gave Lugia and Ho-Oh a break, and then saw them off.

You entertained Ho-Oh and received ten Charmander Candies in return.

Heath smiled. It was a decent reward, nothing special, but still pretty good. It would be great for Charmander.

You entertained Lugia and received a drop of Super Energy Essence.

When Heath saw the reward given to Lugia, he was taken aback. What was this "super energy condensation"? And only one drop? Wasn't that a bit too stingy?

Heath pulled a small bottle out of his pocket with a puzzled look. It contained a shimmering silver liquid that looked quite pretty, with a strange kind of beauty.

[Super Energy Condensate: A miraculous liquid used to suppress and calm the rampage of superpowered individuals]

Heath curled his lip. What was this? Heath didn't need this thing. He wasn't a superhuman. This disappointed Heath a bit. If this thing could make Heath a superhuman, Heath thought it would be pretty good. As for now, it was just so-so.

"We've added another useless thing. Oh well, let's keep it. Who knows if we'll need it later." Heath sighed. This thing is only useful to superhumans, and it's specifically designed to suppress superhuman rampages. He doesn't know what its specific purpose is.

After packing his things, Heath glanced outside the food truck. There was no one there, only the snow falling quietly. Occasionally, Heath could see Pokémon running through the woods. The entire Victory Road was like a deep mountain in winter, empty and silent.

Heath rubbed his hands together; this really was a very nice view.

Chapter 126 Another Reunion

Just like what that enthusiastic mountaineer uncle said, after Ho-Oh and Lugia left, Heath never saw any other guests again, not to mention guests, there were very few Pokémon.

"Forget it, let's close today. If the snow and wind ease up a bit tomorrow, I'll go to the Alliance headquarters." Heath yawned, then shook his head, rolled up the window of the food truck, and prepared to close down.

Just as Heath was about to close the door, he felt the ground tremble, which startled him. Could it be an earthquake?

But Heath soon discovered the main reason for the earthquake's tremors: Snorlax was huffing and puffing as it ran towards Heath from the forest, waving at him as it went. Beside Snorlax were two other Snorlax, both of which were Yeti Snorlax, which surprised Heath.

"Snorlax?!" Hiss looked at the Snorlax in front of him with great surprise. He had thought he would never see Snorlax again, so why was he running into it now?

Before long, three Snorlaxes came to Heath's food cart with their huge feet. The Snorlaxes kept opening their mouths as if trying to say something, but they were afraid that their loud voices would frighten Heath, so they were flustered and didn't know what to do.

With a "whoosh," the giant Snorlax next to Snorlax opened its mouth and spoke. Heath quickly opened the door to the lounge and pulled out Zoroark, who was reading a novel. Without Zoroark's translation, Heath couldn't understand Pokémon language.

"Hmm... He said, why did you invite his child on the trip?" Although reluctant, Zoroa obediently translated the question while looking at the three giant Snorlax in front of him.

Hiss was taken aback. He had thought that Snorlax had brought his parents to dinner, but he hadn't expected that Snorlax had brought his parents to ask him why he was going on a trip. This put Hiss in a bit of a dilemma. What was the reason he had invited Snorlax?

If Hiss were a trainer, he might say that the reason he invited Snorlax was to make Snorlax stronger so that it could stand on a higher stage with him, which is what most trainers do.

But Hiss doesn't want to be a trainer.

“I invited Snorlax because I wanted him to be my partner,” Hiss said earnestly, looking at the enormous yeti-like Snorlax in front of him. The giant Snorlax and the other Snorlax exchanged a glance.

Then it made that unique sound again, but Heath also noticed that Snorlax's cry was normal. Although it felt loud, it was far from reaching the level of the Snorlax in the middle. Heath thought that the loud sound must be a talent of this Snorlax.

“He said his child has a big problem; he’s very loud and can’t control himself. The other Snorlaxes don’t want to play with his child. Why don’t you mind?” Zoroia became much more serious at this point. She looked at Snorlax’s uneasy eyes and translated carefully.

"Because I never think of it as a flaw, I think it's a talent, a very powerful talent. I once heard of a martial art called Lion's Roar, and Snorlax is this type of skill." Heath smiled. Snorlax's voice was indeed very loud, but it was also a talent, a gift bestowed by Arceus.

Just like the landlady in Kung Fu Hustle, whose Lion's Roar is incredibly powerful, Snorlax is very similar to that.

The three Snorlaxes exchanged puzzled glances. They had never heard of Lion's Roar before, but it sounded quite powerful.

Clearly, the three Snorlax living deep in the mountains and forests did not have as much experience as Heath, who had lived two lives. Under Heath's explanation, the Snorlax's parents nodded happily, and then waved their huge paws to pat their child's head.

Heath was a little shuddering. If such a huge force hit a person's head, the head would probably be smashed like a watermelon.

The two Snorlaxes pulled the little Snorlax and said something to it. Then the two Snorlaxes turned around and walked heavily into the forest, leaving the bewildered Snorlax and Heath staring at each other.

"What... is going on?" Hiss asked, looking at the Snorlax in front of him.

"Aren't you happy yet? Other parents are entrusting their children to you with peace of mind." Zoroah rolled his eyes. This guy is really something, able to lure other Pokémon so quickly.

However, thinking of this big ice guy, Zoroia nodded in satisfaction. She thought this big ice guy would be a very good partner, except that its voice was a bit too loud.

Heath then realized what was happening. He got off the food cart, stood in the cold wind, looked at the Yeti Snorlax in front of him, and once again reached out his hand.

"Snorlax, would you like to be my partner?" Hiss asked in a firm tone. Snorlax nervously wiped his hands, then nodded and gently placed his paw on Hiss's hand.

Instantly, Heath felt a chill in his palms, and the next second he realized that his hands were starting to freeze!

This made Heath quickly pull his hand back. This Snorlax was really something else; just physical contact could make people feel like they were freezing. Heath thought that refrigerators and freezers would be very easy things to do in the future.

[You've triggered a long-term quest: Can Snorlax become a mentor?]

[Can Snorlax become a master?: Snorlax is very interested in the Lion's Roar technique you mentioned. You will receive rich rewards for training Snorlax to become a martial artist in China.]

[The first step for Snorlax to become a master: teaching Snorlax the basics of martial arts]

Hiss stared in disbelief at the Yeti Snorlax in front of him. This guy actually wanted to become a martial artist? Aren't you an Ice-type Pokémon?

Isn't the Ice attribute weak to Fighting?

Heath couldn't understand. He really didn't expect that he would trigger such a strange mission. He should have known better than to use Lion's Roar on Snorlax. This was like shooting himself in the foot.

"But I don't know much about martial arts either..." Heath rubbed his temples in pain, but since the cheat system triggered the mission, it should mean that there should be some help, right?

But before that, Heath felt he should get down to business first.

Heath took out a Poké Ball, which he had prepared in case he might catch a Pokémon on his journey. He never expected it would come in handy now.

Chapter 127 Snorlax and the Weather Forecast

Snorlax was easily sucked into the Poké Ball. Heath bent down to pick up the Poké Ball and weighed it in his hand. It was very light, only slightly heavier than an empty Poké Ball. This made Heath marvel at the advanced technology of the Pokémon world.

Heath couldn't remember exactly how much Snorlax weighed, but it was probably several hundred kilograms. However, after the Snorlax was put into a Poké Ball, the weight of the Poké Ball remained normal, which puzzled Heath.

"Please take care of me from now on, Snorlax." Heath smiled as he took the Poké Ball back into the food cart, then rummaged through his cabinet and took out a book called "Basic Martial Arts Guide".

"Trainer, do you want to learn this... kind of martial art?" Zoroa curiously jumped onto Hiss's shoulder, then touched Snorlax's Poké Ball with its paw, and the Poké Ball rolled once.

"I'd like to learn, but I probably can't learn it at my age, right?" Heath scratched his head. Which Chinese person didn't dream of becoming a martial artist or a chivalrous hero when they were young?

Especially for someone like Heath, who basically grew up watching TV series like The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, he was fascinated by the martial arts in them. But he never expected that he would have the chance to pick up martial arts again in the Pokémon world.

"Huh? Is there an age limit for this?" Soroya looked at the book in Heath's hand in surprise.

"Of course there is. Where I'm from, we emphasize building a solid foundation from a young age and strengthening one's bones. My bones are already pretty much fully developed, so further training would be much less effective." Heath said with a chuckle. Actually, he wasn't entirely sure himself, but that's what they say when you see Ip Man and the Fist of Fury.

“I get it. It’s like a little girl needs to be developed from a young age, otherwise she might not be able to accommodate your size, right?” Soraya said with a smile. Heath gave her a flick on the forehead without expression. This girl with a head full of dirty thoughts was really hopeless.

Heath released Snorlax in the living room. The moment the giant Snorlax appeared, Heath couldn't help but glance at the floor with concern. Luckily, it wasn't damaged. It seems that anything made with Golden Gloves is bound to be of high quality.

"I feel like I won't need air conditioning anymore," Soraya remarked, and Heath nodded in agreement.

When Snorlax appeared, besides making the living room a little more crowded, its most notable feature was that it brought a strong cooling effect. The closer you got to Snorlax, the colder it became, just like standing outside.

After adjusting the temperature several times, Hiss finally managed to keep it at a reasonably comfortable level. However, it was still a bit cold to be near Snorlax, but the cool air emanating from Snorlax made the room, which should have been warm, feel comfortable.

Hiss sat cross-legged on the floor, while Zorua ran over to play with Snorlax. Farfetch'd, while tossing its pot around, curiously pecked at Snorlax's big hand with its beak.

Only Charmander was still diligently training, showing no sign of slacking off. However, it also expressed its goodwill towards Snorlax, which pleased Heath.

Heath took out his "Basic Martial Arts Guide" and began to read it patiently. If he wanted to teach Snorlax to be a qualified master, then Heath himself had to first master it, which made Heath a little worried about whether he could learn it.

However, after taking a few glances, Heath discovered that apart from basic skills like stance training, the other fundamentals were basically the same as the fighting techniques Heath had practiced, which made Heath feel much more at ease.

However, it made Snorlax stand in a horse stance...

Heath glanced at Snorlax. Snorlax's legs were so short that Heath wondered if it even had knees. After all, Snorlax's enormous weight meant that having knees would put a huge burden on its body. So Snorlax looked like a huge rock was pressing down on its two feet.

"Snorlax, can you do that?" Hiss called out to Snorlax, then assumed a horse stance. Snorlax looked at Hiss and tried to imitate it, but it didn't look any different.

Hiss stroked his chin. It seemed that Snorlax wasn't suited for the horse stance, or rather, he simply wasn't suited for it. After all, the horse stance required the knees, but Snorlax didn't have knees.

Previously, Heath was curious whether Snorlax would hide its long legs like a rabbit, but now it seems that Snorlax does indeed not have legs.

If Snorlax had legs, the scene would be absolutely stunning. Heath could even picture Snorlax lifting up the flab on its belly and revealing a pair of long legs – it was a very vivid image.
