I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Although he had already learned some ways to eat lava eels from Director Fox, Heath still planned to review them himself, just in case there were any omissions.

With that in mind, Heath brought out the lava eel and then pointed the food identification device at it.

[Palukia, edible and non-toxic, with delicious and juicy meat. However, because it contains extremely rich spatial energy, it needs to be placed in a sealed maze for a period of time before consumption to dissipate the unconscious spatial power within. Grilling is recommended for better flavor.]

Heath looked at the magnifying glass in his hand, then looked ahead. He was indeed pointing it at the lava eel, but why was Palkia's information appearing? This left Heath somewhat bewildered; he hadn't seen Palkia at all.

"Apa apa! Look, I was just talking about this family~" A familiar voice. Heath looked up and saw Ho-Oh, the one who had turned into a little girl, leading another little girl over.

However, this little girl had long, silver-white hair that reached down to her heels, and her pupils were also surprisingly silver-white. Combined with her silver-white skin, Heath felt he could tell at a glance that this person was not human.

Recalling what he had just seen with the food identification device, and the murderous look in the eyes of the little silver-white girl in front of him, Heath was certain that the little girl who had been brought over by Ho-Oh was Palkia.

But isn't Palkia the space god of the Sinnoh region? Why is it coming to the Indigo League with Ho-Oh for a meal?

"Would you like something to eat?" Although curious, Heath was also happy. This was Palkia, after all, and Heath was very much looking forward to serving it. After all, this was a completely different experience.

Heath reflected on his cheat system and found that it often only gave good items the first time. For example, Boss Sakaki gave him a very good item the first time, but the items he gave him after that were just average. It seems that there is a first-time requirement.

The same goes for the legendary Pokémon. Ho-Oh's first gift was somewhat unclear, but it was still acceptable. Lugia even gave Hiss a magical item that could suppress psychic rampages. Although Hiss didn't think it was very useful, he also thought it might come in handy in the future.

As for Palkia, the legendary Pokémon that can appear anywhere at will, Heath is very much looking forward to it. Although it looks like a little girl with silver hair, Heath will not underestimate it. Palkia is old enough to be his ancestor.

Palkia followed Ho-Oh to Hiss. She frowned as she looked at Hiss. Just now, out of curiosity, she had used her ability to peek at what Hiss was doing. Then she felt that her body had been spied on by the human in front of her. The feeling was strange, and Palkia couldn't help but feel unhappy.

But after walking over, she found that the man in front of her seemed not to have noticed anything. After glancing at the Queen Ho-Oh beside her, Palkia barely managed to suppress her displeasure. She had just seriously considered whether to throw Hiss into some place like a ten-thousand-meter-high sky or an uninhabited snow mountain.

"Make me something delicious! Apa, Apa, what do you want to eat?" Ho-Oh smiled happily, then looked at Palkia beside him and asked. Palkia didn't say anything, but just glanced at Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh instantly understood what Palkia wanted to eat.

"As for Apa, just make her a delicious bowl of dry noodles. It has to be delicious, or you won't pay." After saying that, Ho-Oh happily led Palkia to sit at the table and chairs that Hiss had prepared outside.

Heath stroked his chin. Ho-Oh's request was a bit strange, but not incomprehensible. In fact, Heath felt that he had almost figured out what food to prepare. Based on the ingredients in Heath's kitchen, there weren't many things he could make.

Ho-Oh's request, Heath plans to make braised chicken rice, since braised chicken rice is indeed quite delicious. However, Palkia's noodles need some serious consideration.

There are many ways to make noodles, but since Fengwang has limited it to dry noodles, the options are immediately narrowed down considerably.

Heath had once eaten a dry noodle dish made with curry chicken, but it was obviously made with a pre-packaged meal kit. It tasted terrible, and the meal kit wasn't heated up properly, making it disgusting to eat.

This made Heath somewhat resistant to dry noodles. However, dry noodles can be understood to some extent as braised noodles. After all, braised noodles usually only have some seasoning sauce at the bottom and no other soup. It is considered a relatively easy type to make.

Having thought of this, Heath had already decided what to do for the two people in front of him, so Heath turned around and started to get busy. However, before he got busy, Heath pulled out Charmander. He had some things that he needed Charmander's help with, and Charmander was very suitable to do them.

Chapter 177 Braised Noodles and Little Dragon

There's not much to say about the braised chicken; Heath quickly finished it and presented it to Ho-Oh, explaining how to eat it. Then, under Palkia's unreadable gaze, she returned to the kitchen and began preparing the braised noodles that Palkia needed.

Braised noodles are a relatively special type of noodle dish. Braised noodles generally require noodles that are chewy and springy. In order to prevent the cooked noodles from becoming soggy and mushy like snot, there are some special considerations in the preparation and cooking methods. Although the dried noodles that ordinary households buy can be made into braised noodles, they still lack a certain something.

According to Heath, a good bowl of braised noodles consists of two parts: one is the chewy and springy noodles, which will make it appetizing and not remind you of anything bad; the other is the sauce and the meat that goes with it.

The soul of braised noodles actually lies in the seasoning. Every successful braised noodle shop has its own secret recipe, and these recipes are enough to keep a shop thriving for a long time. If they are kept secret and taste good enough, they can even allow a family to live comfortably for two or three generations.

Heath has his own secret recipe, but when it comes to meat, Heath plans to let Charmander handle it, to prepare a unique roast beef that is cooked but tender. Charmander can do this perfectly, but the little guy looks a bit nervous.

Perhaps because he hadn't helped Heath cook many times, when Charmander stood next to Heath, took the beef Heath had cut, and listened to Heath's requests, Heath could notice that Charmander was somewhat nervous. This made Heath smile. Although the little guy was very diligent, he still seemed a little nervous and uneasy when faced with things he didn't know.

"It's alright, Charmander, just do your best. I believe in you." Heath encouraged Charmander, then patted its head. Charmander's head felt nice to touch, like touching some warm leather.

This made Heath think of the Ekans in Viridian City. He wondered how those little guys were doing now. Surviving as a stray Pokémon is a difficult thing, especially living in human cities. If they are caught by Officer Jenny, they will be trained and then sent back to the wild to survive, depending on the situation.

While that might be a good thing for them, Arbok and the others are clearly more used to living together in the city. Heath doesn't understand why these Pokémon are like this; they could return to the wild, but instead they choose to live cautiously in human cities.

Reassured by Heath, the little dragon relaxed a bit. It nodded seriously and then breathed out a ball of flame, slowly searing the beef in front of it, trying its best to make the flames perfectly coat the slices of meat and heat them evenly.

Heath didn't look at it much, but turned to deal with the things at hand; he hadn't finished making his braised noodles yet.

After Heath put a bowl of noodles in a bowl and poured in all the secret seasonings, she stood aside and watched Little Dragon roast meat, while Big Green Duck was moving the steamer. His crab roe soup dumplings were finally finished and now they were just waiting to be steamed and sold.

While Heath was making noodles, she also checked the buns and pointed out a few minor issues. Other than that, there was nothing else to worry about. However, Heath noticed that the buns made by Farfetch'd looked quite girly, which made Heath's expression a little strange.

Heath doesn't really care whether Farfetch's Duck has a girlish heart, but the problem is that Farfetch's Duck's crab roe soup dumplings have clearly influenced Heath herself. Yesterday, Heath noticed that many people who came to buy crab roe soup dumplings would show an indescribable expression after seeing those girlish crab roe soup dumplings.

Heath felt that, without his noticing, a strange label of "friend of women" or "handsome young male chef with a girlish heart" had been placed on his head, so he deliberately added a long sentence to today's menu.

The sign read, "Crab Roe Soup Dumplings made by Farfetch'd, eight Alliance Coins each." Heath even handed over the task of making change to Farfetch'd. Anyone who wanted to buy crab roe soup dumplings had to go to Farfetch'd to buy them, so that Heath could get rid of the blame as soon as possible.

The little dragon was indeed very talented; it grilled the beef to perfection. And Heath didn't know if the little dragon had some other ideas, but the edges of the grilled meat were slightly charred. However, after Heath ate a piece, she found that it tasted even better that way.

So Heath praised Charmander's ingenious idea, then poured the roast beef into the bowl of braised noodles, and then, holding a pair of chopsticks, placed the braised noodles and chopsticks in front of Palkia.

Palkia was already eagerly anticipating it. The braised chicken made by Heath smelled amazing, and the wonderful taste that Ho-Oh discovered after pouring the braised chicken broth into the rice made Palkia even more craving it, and it felt incredibly hungry.

So after receiving the braised noodles that Hiss had made, Palkia picked up his chopsticks. As soon as Hiss turned his head, he used his spatial power to quickly mix the noodles with himself. Then he happily picked up a noodle and put it in his mouth. As the noodles were eaten, Palkia's eyes lit up. This braised noodle was really delicious!

The color of the noodles and the sauce blended together, giving them a slightly reflective appearance under the sunlight. When you taste them, the savory flavor and the subtle sweetness that perfectly suits Palucca palates are simply perfect.

What's more, the meat in this braised noodle dish is also delicious. Although it's a little charred on the outside, this charring doesn't ruin the dish at all; in fact, it makes it even tastier. The crispy on the outside and tender on the inside beef, combined with the braised noodle sauce, creates a sense of satisfaction from the inside out. Palkia breathed a satisfied sigh. No wonder Ho-Oh said it had found a really good restaurant; it really is delicious.

Although he didn't know why the human chef had a strange thing in his hand that made Palkia feel like he was being seen through, he decided to generously forgive Hiss when he saw the delicious food in front of him.

The only problem is that Dialga, that shameless man, can't find out.

Chapter 178 Doraemon?

"Welcome to come again next time~" Heath waved the towel in his hand enthusiastically, hesitated for a moment and then put it down. For some reason, the way he waved the towel looked very much like the courtesans in those period dramas waving handkerchiefs upstairs and calling out, "Sir, come and play again next time."

Watching Ho-Oh and Palkia leave, Hiss smiled and sat back down in his chair. It was a pleasant surprise to have Ho-Oh and Palkia entertained today, since these legendary Pokémon rarely appear in front of people. Hiss felt that he had encountered more legendary Pokémon than most people have in a lifetime.

Of course, he can't compare to someone like Ash who uses cheat codes. After all, Ash is more like someone who uses cheat codes than Hiss, and he shamelessly uses them directly.

However, what Heath is most concerned about right now is this big thing in the food truck. It's the reward he received after entertaining Palukia, and it's the biggest reward he's ever received.

[You entertained Palkia, and in return, you received the damaged Anywhere Door.]

Yes, the Anywhere Door. Heath didn't know why his cheat ability would give him an Anywhere Door, but he had to admit that when he saw it, his breath caught in his throat for a few seconds. In fact, he just held his breath for a moment.

However, Heath admitted that he was indeed very excited to see the Anywhere Door. It was the Anywhere Door, after all, which allowed one to go anywhere they wanted. It was practically a magical artifact, but unfortunately, it was damaged.

[The Damaged Anywhere Door: When a certain Doraemon was using the Anywhere Door, he was accidentally transported to a very dangerous place. The Anywhere Door was eventually damaged and disposed of as scrap. During use, there is a one-in-five chance of going to the desired destination, and a four-in-five chance of being randomly teleported to an unknown, strange place. (Note: Smear's voice can be heard while using it.)]

Heath's lips twitched. Another thing that seemed both useful and useless had been added to his collection, which gave Heath a bit of a headache. He really hadn't expected to get his hands on the Anywhere Door. Although it was damaged, it did look pretty good. Heath thought that maybe this thing could come in handy when he encountered some strange things in the future.

With that in mind, Heath placed the damaged Anywhere Door in a room in the lounge. Heath had set a password for this room; he couldn't leave it unsecured, since Zoroah had plunged him into a nightmare last time. Heath was worried that as he acquired more and more strange things in the future, Zoroah's free-spirited nature would cause him trouble.

However, when it came to Zoroah, Heath noticed that Zoroah's attitude had become a bit strange. Perhaps what had happened before had made Zoroah truly start to reflect on his actions. This morning, he even thought about making breakfast for him. Although Zoroah didn't have much talent for cooking, his intentions were good.

Heath curiously pushed open the door to the lounge and peeked inside. He saw Zoroya lying on his bed, looking at a comic book in his hand, occasionally letting out a 'hehehe' laugh. Heath silently closed the door. It seemed that Zoroya was just a guy who only had a three-minute attention span. He reflected on his actions for three minutes and then went back to his old ways.

"Boss, can you deliver today too?" Heath had just closed the door when he heard Asong's voice.

Yesterday, Heath delivered some braised chicken to Asong. The satisfaction rating increased by a few points, but not significantly. Heath thought it might be because not many people were eating there. Unexpectedly, Asong came again today.

"Sure, but today's meal will still be braised chicken and rice. Is that alright?" Heath nodded. Business still had to be done, especially since it was a business that could continue as long as it was in the Indigo League.

"Sure... Huh? I saw you wrote 'eel rice' here. Do you also serve eel rice?" Ah Song looked curiously at the sign Heath had put up. Now, anyone who had eaten at Heath's restaurant would subconsciously glance at the sign to see if there were any new or unfamiliar dishes.

"Yes, but I can only make two servings right now. I didn't buy a lot of eel." Heath nodded. He hadn't started cooking the eel yet, but all he needed to do was grill it and prepare the other side dishes for the eel rice. There wasn't anything too complicated about it.

Ah Song hesitated for a moment. He knew Heath's cooking skills. After the braised chicken rice was launched, Ah Song fell in love with it after taking a bite. But even the most delicious food will get boring if you eat it every day. Although Ah Song only ate it for two days, he was definitely more interested in the eel rice than the braised chicken, even though it was much more expensive.

The price of 135 Alliance Coins per serving was a bit of a stretch, since that price could buy much more braised chicken rice, enough to last for several days. But when Ah Song thought about what he had been eating lately, he realized that Heath wasn't a swindler. He must have his reasons for offering such a high price.

"Hiss...then please change my braised chicken rice to eel rice, and two crab roe soup dumplings, please." Ah Song gritted his teeth, counted his money, and realized that this little splurge wouldn't affect his plan to buy games, so he steeled himself and decided to try Heath's eel rice this time.

"Okay, shall we still deliver it at noon?" Heath nodded and took the money from Asong. This time, the money was more than yesterday's. Heath estimated that it was enough for about ten more servings of braised chicken, which made Heath feel much better. It seemed that if he was lucky today, he could push the mission progress forward again.

"Yeah, it's still noon." Ah Song nodded. After watching Heath put the money away, Ah Song breathed a sigh of relief and felt much calmer. Sure enough, money only feels good when it's spent.

Heath nodded with a smile, then pointed Ah Song to the side and said that from now on, the crab roe soup dumplings would be made and sold by the duck. Heath felt that the duck could not only be a handyman, but also a good crab roe soup dumpling chef.

"This soup dumpling is made with leek duck?" Ah Song showed a hint of shock. If the leek duck in front of him were replaced with giant crab, Ah Song wouldn't be so shocked.

After all, in the Pokémon world, there are quite a few Pokémon that work. Asong knows that the head of his company's technology development department is an Alakazam, an Alakazam that has obtained the "Human World Technology Position Certification Qualification". Only Pokémon with this certificate can work. Others are not allowed.

Chapter 179 Methods for Pokémon and Humans to Coexist

Pokémon and humans have lived in harmony for so long that people have discovered some of the strange things about Pokémon. Although people initially regarded Pokémon as monsters, their interactions later proved that Pokémon are more intelligent than humans thought.

Over time, humans and Pokémon lived in harmony, and capturing Pokémon as partners became a very normal thing. However, some intelligent Pokémon, unwilling to be captured by humans, discovered another way to survive in the human world, which was...

Part-time job.

After all, each Pokémon has its own strengths. Even the most experienced captain needs to listen to the opinions of Water-type Pokémon and Flying-type Pokémon in the ocean. Therefore, Pokémon like the gull that often appear in the ocean have become the basic Pokémon that sailors usually have.

Secondly, there are Pokémon like Wailord.

Using the gull to sense approaching storms and severe weather has become a common practice. Similarly, Officer Jenny's Growlithe and Arcanine, and firefighters' Ponyta and Poliwag are used to rush into fires to rescue people, while Poliwag is responsible for watering and extinguishing fires.

Perhaps it is because of the activity of Pokémon that fewer people die from accidents in this world compared to the previous life. Most deaths are still related to murder or crime.

“Yes, DaCongYa is a very good chef. The crab roe soup dumplings you had yesterday were made by him.” Heath smiled and casually pointed out the crab roe soup dumplings from yesterday. With the crab roe soup dumplings from yesterday in mind, AhSong’s expression became much calmer.

Isn't it just a green onion duck that serves as a chef? What's so strange about that? Ah Song has even seen a Tanabata Bluebird that showed its talent on a singing competition show.

However, for some reason, some people held up signs calling the Qixi Bluebird a "traitor to the Dragon series," which caused a lot of unpleasantness between the production team and the audience. Later, those malicious signs disappeared, and everyone returned to normal.

Big Green Duck happily accepted the money and then handed two buns to Ah Song. Perhaps because he was very excited, Big Green Duck handed over two heart-shaped crab roe soup dumplings.

Heath had no idea how Farfetch'd managed to wrap the buns like that. He could only say that Farfetch'd might have a natural talent for it. Heath felt that he couldn't do it, since he preferred to wrap buns in the standard way so that customers could easily hold and eat them. However, although Farfetch'd's buns had a strange shape, they tasted pretty good, so Heath didn't bother with them.

After seeing off the cheerful Asong, Heath was greeted by a bustling crowd. On a weekday morning, the Indigo League seemed to awaken like a giant beast. The once quiet and peaceful streets were now teeming with people, and the flow of people even surpassed that of Evergreen City's most prosperous streets.

The help from Da Cong Ya made things much easier for Heath. Many customers came to buy crab roe soup dumplings, and Heath also noticed that the majority of these customers were girls. After buying the dumplings, they didn't rush to eat them, but instead took pictures and posted them on their WeChat Moments.

Heath noticed that many girls' phone cameras were showing him in the viewfinder. Heath sincerely hoped that when these girls edited their photos, they would make him look normal, and not like the alien invasion he looked like in his previous life.

This world naturally has its own beauty apps, which is not surprising, since people's needs are similar. What's even more interesting about these beauty apps is the one launched by 3D Dragon and Alakazam, which has the magical effect of turning an ugly duckling into a beauty queen in a second.

Heath herself tried it, and after using beauty filters, she could actually become an absolute beauty. This shows that even in the Pokémon world, there are quite a few cases of photo manipulation.

"Boss~ Do you still have large purple crab roe soup dumplings today?" As the busy period drew to a close, Heath heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw the beautiful woman from last time. She was wearing a very sexy outfit today, especially…

"Wow~ Trainer, do you like grapes?" Zoroah teased, jumping onto Hiss's head and asking with a smile.

Heath's lips twitched. He wasn't sure if the beautiful woman was too casual or hadn't noticed his clothing, but when she put her hands in front of her, Heath could see two... through her clothes.

Cough cough, Heath shook his head, women would only affect the speed at which he heated the oil.

"We haven't received any large purple crabs recently, so we can't provide them for the time being. However, I do have... a lava eel here, which I plan to cook into eel rice." Heath hesitated for a moment before deciding to get down to business.

Lava eels seem to be even rarer than giant purple crabs, so their prices are naturally very high. Rather than revealing it and being surrounded by a crowd, Heath decided to sell the eel to his current regular customer.
