Unique. Forgive Heath for using the word "unique" to describe the region where Awatari lives, because the region is truly unique, so unique that Heath doesn't even know how to describe it.
According to information found on a mobile phone, A-du doesn't have any particular requirements for the main color scheme of the area where he lives, so the buildings there can be decorated in any color he likes. However, the problem lies in the naming of A-du Heavenly King.
【The strongest region for Dragon-type Pokémon】—that's the name of Lance, and it's very much in line with Lance's style. However, Lance will likely officially take over as the champion of the Johto region in the future, and his residence may be moved to Champion Avenue in the middle.
Champion Avenue is also the best way to distinguish between the Johto League and the Kanto League, and it can even be said to be the only landmark. The Johto League is on the left side of Champion Avenue, and the Kanto League is on the right side. Those who can live on Champion Avenue are basically the people who serve as the Elite Four members of both regions.
"Trainer~ Do you think there might be red-light districts in this big city~" Zorya asked excitedly. Hiss couldn't help but glance at Zorya sideways. Why is this guy's head full of dirty thoughts? What is a red-light district?
"Can't you think of something better? Like the supermarket or the farmers' market around here?" Heath sighed helplessly. Zoroya was beyond saving. Heath thought that next time he saw Lugia, he should ask Lugia if he could clear out this fox's head full of dirty thoughts, or better yet, format it.
"Who said that! Didn't they say every city has places like that?" Soraya said indignantly, while Heath rubbed his temples in exasperation.
"Come on, this is the safest city in the Alliance. Do you think any criminal would dare to do something illegal here?" Heath said irritably to Soloar, then tapped him on the head.
Then, Zorua angrily picked up a card from the ground and held it up to Heath.
Heath glanced at it and his eyes widened in surprise. Why would there be such a small card on his food cart? This was something Heath couldn't understand. In Heath's mind, such small cards should appear in hotel rooms, but those were usually scams.
This card follows the same formula: a stunningly beautiful woman who makes you dizzy, along with phrases like "College students available, types of women Mr. Cao likes, flight attendants all available," and a QQ contact number.
"You don't really believe this thing is real, do you? Sister Feng warned me before that if you contact someone with this kind of card, they'll just ask you for travel expenses or something. Once you give them the money, they'll come up with all sorts of ways to scam you out of your money, and in the end, you won't even get a penny, or they'll just be setting you up for a scam." Heath explained helplessly, feeling that this card was a slap in the face to him.
Heath just said this city is the safest in the entire league, but I still see these little cards.
"And this one?" Zoroya brought over two more cards. Heath glanced at them and couldn't help but gasp.
One card featured a muscular man with the note "[Both 01 and 1] available," while the other featured various seemingly cute Pokémon. The same promotional language and suggestive language made it difficult for Heath to defend against.
Heath finally understood. It turned out that in the Pokémon world, it wasn't just humans who faced this kind of temptation. So these people had even set their sights on Pokémon? What was this, some kind of limited-edition Pokémon world special card?
Heath felt that the world was beyond saving, and he suddenly realized why the police department had Pokémon police.
Chapter 134 Imperial-Level Rooms and Vegetable Market
Heath rubbed his face. It seemed that even a metropolis like the Indigo League couldn't resist the presence of darkness. However, the way this place existed was rather unique. What Heath didn't expect was that not only were there human cards, but now Pokémon cards had also appeared.
"Hmm... these are all fake, they're definitely all the same tricks." Although he was speechless, Heath quickly explained, he didn't want to see Officer Jenny smiling as she called him to report the scam.
Yes, telecom fraud also exists in the Pokémon world. Just as there are always good and bad elements in the world, there are also criminals who target people's wallets. The Kanto League has launched the "Kanto League Anti-Fraud Center" to protect citizens from telecom fraud.
The first time Hiss learned about this was a while ago. When Hiss was making money at his stall, he received a phone call saying that there was a small problem with the starter Pokémon he had pre-ordered, and that he would need to pay a certain amount of League Coins to resolve the issue.
Then, Heath told the other person expressionlessly that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a Poké Ball. The other person then tried to persuade Heath to borrow money from a nearby loan company. It wasn't until Sister Feng came to visit (and tease) Heath that the other person gave up on these ideas under Sister Feng's very oppressive warning.
After tossing the still-fussy Zoroya into the lounge, Heath drove the food truck toward the Quartz Federation's market. Heath remembered a writer once saying that if you want to understand a city, go to its market; that's where you can see the true face of the city.
Heath admitted he was a little excited, since he had always been to the market in Evergreen City before, and this was really the first time he had been to a different market.
After locking the food cart near the market, Hiss led Zoroya into the market. Farfetch'd, Charmander, and Snorlax had already been put into their Poké Balls by Hiss. Snorlax, in particular, was too conspicuous to leave untouched.
"Trainer, where are we going?" Zoroa asked curiously, perched on Hiss's head.
"Buying groceries? Haven't you noticed that we have less and less food to eat lately?" Heath asked curiously as she strolled through the market. The Quartz Federation's market looked similar to Evergreen City, but it was much cleaner and there were no stalls; all the vendors sold their ingredients from behind counters.
Although it was clean and hygienic, Heath felt that it lacked a bit of the warmth of home cooking. However, Heath wasn't a fussy person and focused on selecting the ingredients she needed.
It has to be said that the headquarters of the Quartz Federation is indeed worthy of its name. After looking around at the ingredients here, Heath came to a conclusion: there are a lot of ingredients here, and the quality is also very good. Even the most ordinary bok choy has no bad or wilted leaves.
This pleased Heath somewhat, but after looking at the wide variety of ingredients, Heath hesitated for a moment before finally selecting some of the ingredients she planned to use that day. After buying a lot, she carried the bags back to the dining car, as she would need to go to the supermarket to buy seasonings later.
"Trainer, should we stay at a hotel? If we stay at a hotel, will the bed move by itself?" Zoroar perched on Hiss's head and gently patted Hiss's face with its paw.
"You mean an electric bed? But I don't stay in hotels. We can buy some bedding and sleep in the dining car ourselves." Heath waved his hand; he knew exactly what Zorya was talking about as soon as he heard it.
"Hey, what electric bed? I read a novel where the author mentioned a super amazing bed!" Soraya curled his lip in disdain. Heath paused for a moment, realizing that the bed he was using was an electric bed. It's usually the type of bed that couples choose; those who know, know.
Heath was completely fed up. Where on earth did Zorua learn all this bizarre knowledge? Can't novelists these days be a little more normal? Is this something Pokémon would produce? This is downright monstrous.
"Alright, you can stop now. I don't want to hear it. This kind of room is definitely fake. It's impossible in the world..." Seeing that Zorua seemed to want to say more, Heath quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
However, as they talked, Hiss fell silent. If it were before, Hiss would have definitely scoffed, but looking at the Pokémon card that Zoroa had just picked up, Hiss's confidence disappeared without him realizing it.
Perhaps such a room really exists. For Pokémon, it's like watching humans and nature; no one would be excited by a scene of two wild animals entwined, right?
If they really get excited, then Heath can only suggest that they go to the hospital to see a doctor.
Heath quickly set the destination for the food truck. He planned to go to a large supermarket to buy what he needed. Food for his Sherbet was one thing, and he also needed to replenish seasonings. However, what Heath was most eager for was his furniture.
While sleeping in a sleeping bag isn't impossible, the difference between a sleeping bag and a bed is undeniable. Although Heath had only been away from Evergreen City for a few days, he was already deeply missing his warm little nest in Officer Jenny's Dormitory.
"There's no place like home," Heath yawned. He felt he hadn't been sleeping very comfortably lately, but once he bought a bed, that problem should be solved a lot.
Soon, Heath spotted his destination: the Hungry Chipmunk Shopping Supermarket.
Chapter 135 The Strange and Wonderful Products in the Supermarket
Squirrel Supermarket is a large chain supermarket, and there is also a Squirrel Supermarket in Evergreen City. It is possible that the store owner felt that the Squirrel from the Galar region was more in line with their aesthetic, so they chose this Pokémon as their trademark brand.
The iconic image of the Zangbao Chipmunk Supermarket is a cute cartoon chipmunk. Heath likes the supermarket quite a bit. The items sold here are not very expensive, unlike some supermarkets where an ordinary glass can sell for more than a hundred yuan, making you think it's a crystal glass.
Heath came with a purpose this time. He went straight to the Pokémon food section and immediately saw Snorlax's food. Heath remembered that this was a new product launched by a research lab, which had the magical effect of feeding a Snorlax with very little food.
The downside is that it's quite expensive. Heath looked at the box in his hand; it was a five-kilogram box, and according to the packaging, the food inside was enough for a Snorlax to consume normally for a month, which was already quite impressive.
However, the price was rather steep. Heath glanced at the price tag, which stated that this bag of Snorlax food cost a whopping 1,779 League Coins, which was almost 1,800 League Coins – no small sum.
"Hiss... This Snorlax food is really expensive..." Heath felt a pang of regret. 1,800 League Coins. If he were still in Viridian City, he could have gotten more money from Ms. Lori's Gengar and bought it. But Heath didn't have much savings right now. He still needed to buy furniture like a bed, so he had to be careful with his money.
"But thinking about it carefully, a former colleague of mine spent over a thousand yuan a month on cat food, so it all seems reasonable now." Heath tried to comfort himself. If a cat with such a small belly can eat over a thousand yuan a month, then Snorlax only needs eighteen thousand yuan to be full for a month. That's practically a miracle.
Thinking about this, Heath calmed down a lot. He took a bag of Snorlax food and put it in his shopping cart, then pushed the cart toward the condiment section. Heath didn't have many condiments left in his cart.
"This price is too expensive!" Zoroia said in surprise, perched on Hiss's head. Eighteen hundred! That's enough to buy so many books. Zoroia felt a pang of regret.
"What's so special about this? Do you know what's the most expensive thing here, besides evolution stones used to enhance Pokémon's strength?" Heath curled her lip, making a fuss over something as small as 1,700.
"What is it?" Soroya asked curiously, as she really didn't know anything more expensive than this.
Heath smiled and pushed the shopping cart toward an area. He soon stopped and picked up a small bottle. It was [Minas Hair Conditioner], a 100ml bottle, but the price tag below made Soroya dizzy from counting it.
"One zero... two zeros... three zeros... so many zeros..." Zoroya stared blankly at the price tag, swallowing hard. What kind of number was this?
"No need to count, this 100ml bottle of Milotic hair conditioner is priced as you see, over 13,000 League Coins." Heath curled his lip, thinking that Snorlax's food was nothing compared to this hair conditioner.
And it's only 100 milliliters. Heath felt that if he bought it, he would probably want to keep it as a precious possession every day and wouldn't dare to use it.
With that in mind, Heath carefully placed the hair conditioner on it. Although it wouldn't be a problem if it fell, what if something happened? Then Heath would probably have no choice but to declare bankruptcy on the spot.
The most competitive and largest market share sector in the Pokémon world is Pokémon beauty. Milotic can be considered a luxury brand in the Pokémon skincare industry, with Primarina being another brand in the same price range, which is also very expensive.
However, Heath remembered that the most expensive cosmetic she knew was Champion Beauty, endorsed by Carlos region champion Karune. A whitening cream, the same one used by champion Gardevoir, sold for a sky-high price of fifty to sixty thousand League Coins, making Heath realize once again how short-sighted she was.
Now, Zoroark is acting strangely towards everyone in Pokémon. All it does is mutter about how 13,000 League Coins can buy so many novels. Heath thinks Zoroark is probably going to turn into a broken record.
After purchasing the seasonings he needed, Heath went to the home furnishing area, where beds of all shapes and sizes were available. There were even extra-large beds that claimed to allow trainers and Pokémon to sleep together, with a maximum load capacity of one and a half tons, and a price of over 30,000 League Coins.
Despite Zorroia's frantic hints, Heath didn't look at the beds. He circled the furniture area before finally finding a bed he liked in a corner.
【Windspeed Dog King Bed, providing you with a peaceful sleep experience】
It's a very simple bed, with no other functions besides what a bed should have. It can be used for sleeping, and even a Pokémon that isn't too heavy can sleep with it. Most importantly, it's economical and has a super high cost-performance ratio.
Heath also slept on this kind of bed in Officer Jenny's dorm, which was bought for him by Sister Feng. According to Sister Feng, the Wind Dog beds are the kind that are roughly made and don't look very beautiful, but after sleeping on them once, the feeling is indescribable.
Although it doesn't have a smart voice system like other beds, the Windspeed Dog is sturdy and durable, and has excellent quality control. When Jun Shafeng talks about the Windspeed Dog bed, she can talk endlessly about it, and she can even start from the origin of the Windspeed Dog bed.
This puzzled Heath. Why did Officer Jenny know so much about this? Later, after asking Ling, Heath learned that the Arcanine brand was actually owned by the Officer Jenny family. Ling also told Heath a secret that wasn't exactly a secret.
The Joy family's Lucky Egg and Chansey brands of medicines are recognized throughout the league as top-quality products, without exception.
"This price isn't cheap either." Soroya looked at the bed that Heath had chosen, counted the zeros, and felt a little dizzy.
Soraya discovers he has a strange illness called Zero-Fluid Syndrome, which causes him to act strangely whenever there are more zeros and ones in his numbers.
“I know it’s expensive, but Sister Feng said that Officer Jenny can get a discount on this item. Although I’m not an Officer Jenny, I am an honorary Officer Jenny.” Heath shrugged, but he didn’t know how much the discount would be.
Chapter 136 The Duties of the Officers
When it came time to pay the bill, Heath took out the Officer Jenny certificate that Sister Feng had given him. Although Heath was a man and the certificate was hand-drawn, the official seal on it could not be faked. If Heath forged it, it would be a serious crime, and no one would be stupid enough to do that.
Even so, Heath was politely invited to a lounge, and after a while, a Officer Jenny walked in. Heath glanced at her; she wasn't one of the Officer Jennys he had seen that morning.
"You're Heath?" The unknown Officer Jenny looked at Heath with great interest, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Heath immediately nodded, it seemed that the other party knew him.
“I’ve heard about you from that guy Feng. We always thought you would go to Pallet Town first, since it’s the closest place to Evergreen City. But we didn’t expect you to come to the Indigo League. I’m the captain of Officer Jenny’s Squad of the Indigo League’s Security Department. You can call me Mirror.” Officer Jenny happily extended her hand. She was a warm and welcoming person.
"Hello, Sister Jing." Heath quickly stood up and shook hands with her. Like Sister Feng, her hands were calloused, incomparable to those of ordinary girls. Although Heath had never held hands with any other girl since coming to this world.
With the proof from Officer Jenny, Heath was able to buy the Speeddog bed at a discounted price, which gave Heath a little extra savings from his otherwise empty wallet. Without hesitation, Heath followed Officer Jenny's lead.
"Mirror Sister, do you know what special ingredients the Quartz Alliance has?" Heath asked curiously. He hadn't forgotten the long-term mission he had received. He had gone to the market before to complete the mission, but the market had everything, and Heath didn't know what he was looking for.
"Specialty ingredients?" Officer Jenny paused for a moment, then began to stroke her chin, seemingly deep in thought.
“I’m not too sure about that, but I can take you to see one of the seniors in our Officer Jenny’s dormitory. She should know.” Officer Jenny thought for a moment and then shook her head. If it was about how to hit someone hard when catching a criminal without leaving a scar, she would know.
Heath immediately nodded. Officer Jenny's dormitory might be considered a forbidden zone by others, but to Heath, it felt like coming home. In addition, given the requirements of the mission, he definitely had to go to the dormitory.
And if he's lucky, Heath might also be able to complete his other mission.
Heath has been stuck at level 88 in the Chef's Eye quest for a long time. Since leaving Evergreen City, he hasn't served many guests, so there hasn't been much progress. However, Heath hasn't been completely unsuccessful; he now knows some of the criteria for judging Chef's Eye.
For example, each customer is limited to one review. Once a customer has given a satisfactory review, no matter how satisfied they are with the review afterward, they will not be allowed to give an additional review.
Before heading to the dormitory, Heath returned to his dining car and put his bed and other belongings inside. His dining car drew praise from Officer Jenny, but fortunately, with the Silph Company as her backer, Officer Jenny had no doubts.
However, when it came time to go to the dormitory, Officer Jenny did not let Heath drive the food truck there directly, but instead had Heath come with her.
"Mirror, where is the dormitory?" Heath sat on Officer Jenny's Growlithe. Heath originally thought that Officer Jenny would let him ride the motorcycle, but Officer Jenny did not choose to do so.
“It’s right on Champions Avenue. After all, our Officer Jenny’s duties are quite heavy. In order to protect the safety of the citizens and to respond to the call as quickly as possible, we all live in the middle. There are also Officer Jennys from the City there. But you have to be careful. Those people are not easy to talk to. Their captain is a serious and strange guy.” Officer Jenny patted Arcanine’s big head and then spoke seriously to Heath.
Heath nodded. After all, this wasn't Evergreen City, a place with a low crime rate. The Indigo League was much larger, and Officer Jenny's responsibilities were naturally much heavier. Moreover, Officer Jenny was responsible for more than just law and order; sometimes she also had to take charge of public welfare projects.
Back in Changqing City, Heath knew that Sister Feng and the others were very busy, busy finding cats for old ladies, helping children get balloons hanging from trees, and sometimes even having to comfort some overreacting citizens. Major cases rarely occurred in Changqing City; the biggest thing Heath had witnessed in the past four years was the chemical plant explosion.
This is Officer Jenny's job: to fight crime on one hand and take care of people's livelihood on the other. If it weren't for the League's rule that some things can only be entrusted to Pokémon Centers and trainers can take them on after paying a fee, Officer Jenny's job would probably be even more demanding.
There are many such strange police reports. Heath once heard Sister Feng complain that there was a big man who was terrified of ghosts and would often call to say that he had seen ghosts. At this time, it was impossible to ignore it, so they could only send someone over to comfort and persuade him.
There was even a time when a man called the police claiming he had been sexually harassed by another man, which left people speechless. Heath had even seen the man dressed in very seductive lingerie. If it were on a beautiful young woman, it would be pleasing to the eye, but on a grown man, it felt very strange.
