I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

However, most of the time, Karenia would come to the Indigo League to buy breakfast or other things. Heath often saw Karenia in this place, so at first Heath really thought that Karenia was studying in the Indigo League. It turned out that she was from the Johto region.

"Would you like something to eat? Before I close up shop." Heath asked Karenia with a smile. Karenia hesitated for a moment, then took out some money and handed it to Heath.

"Please give me a milk tea, with some ice." Karenia quickly stated her request. Heath didn't mind, took the money, and went into the food cart to prepare the milk tea for Karenia. This little one likes sweets, no wonder she likes the taste of milk tea.

Karenia watched Heath quietly as he prepared milk tea, a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes. However, Heath didn't notice this and quickly handed Karenia a cup of iced milk tea.

"Brother Heath, thank you for standing up for me this morning," Karenia said shyly as she took the milk tea.

"It's alright, it's alright. But while I can help you for a while, I can't help you forever," Heath said with a smile. But then Heath paused, stunned. How did this child know his name? Heath remembered that he hadn't told the child.

“Yes, I know, Brother Heath.” Karenia nodded, then skipped away.

After watching Karenia leave, Heath turned off the food truck, then set it to autopilot and drove it towards Officer Jenny's dormitory.

……

Meanwhile, Karenia had returned home. He quietly unlocked the door with his key, calmly said, "I'm home," and then went inside and closed the door.

A figure sat on the sofa, a horse racing program was playing on the TV, and there was another figure in the kitchen, from which came a pleasant aroma, tinged with a slightly burnt smell.

"Oh dear, I've burned it again..." Hearing her mother's voice, Karenia carried her schoolbag and went straight into her room, then closed the door.

It was an ordinary room, but it felt more like a study, filled with all sorts of books. Karenia put down his backpack, placed his milk tea aside, and then turned on his computer, intending to take a break.

Beside the table were three file folders, not very thick. Karenia glanced at them, then tapped the table. Behind Karenia, his shadow suddenly lengthened as a hand reached out and pulled the file folders into the shadow.

In the living room, the television began broadcasting today's news.

Chapter 200: The Cinema?

You hosted Karenia, and in return, you received "The Power of Language".

Another book. Heath was used to it. Heath thought it was probably related to Karenia's parents. Heath thought Karenia's parents must be a very capable teacher or scholar, otherwise there would be no reason for them to keep giving her these strange books.

"Tsk, another book this thick. I really don't understand why they keep giving me books. I'd rather they just cram all the knowledge from these books into my head." Heath pursed his lips. The only thing Heath was dissatisfied with about his system was that the knowledge it gave him couldn't be learned directly; he had to learn it slowly on his own, which was very annoying.

Heath envied the characters in online novels who had the "golden finger" ability to instantly master new knowledge. By now, Heath had accumulated so many books that it made his scalp tingle.

After parking the food truck in Officer Jenny's dormitory area, Heath pushed open the door to the lounge. He had to take his Pokémon upstairs to prepare dinner for Officer Jenny. But as soon as he opened the door, Heath saw Mew lying next to Zoroark, its head touching Zoroark's head, its tail swaying back and forth.

Heath's lips twitched. Good heavens, does Dream think of his food truck as his home?

However, seeing that Dream was completely unaware, Heath couldn't help but take out the food identification device that he hadn't had a chance to use today. He wanted to see what strange knowledge he would gain by using this device to examine Dream.

Mew is an edible, non-toxic Pokémon with a delicious taste. However, due to its extremely limited number, no one has ever tasted Mew. Eating it may cause a reversion to primal traits, resulting in mad cow disease. It is recommended to cook it thoroughly over high heat and enjoy it with red wine.

Dream suddenly turned around and stared at Heath with her big eyes. Heath awkwardly put down the ingredient detector, and then Dream disappeared.

"But this description of the mythical creature is quite unique." Heath scratched his head. He had an urge to use the ingredient detector to see what flavors the other mythical creatures would have when Ho-Oh brought them to eat next time. Although Heath couldn't actually eat them, it would be nice to see them.

Maybe Heath could write a book called "The Taste of Ho-Oh" or "A Taste of Life with Gaioka," which would be quite interesting. However, after writing it, Heath would probably just be waiting to be hunted down by the legendary Pokémon.

"What were you looking at with Dream just now?" Heath leaned closer and saw that Zoroya was holding a comic book, a comic book that looked rather strange.

"The Time Stopper of the Boys' School," hmm, this thing is definitely not right. This made Heath a little worried that Dream might be led astray by Zoroya. But what puzzled Heath the most was where Zoroya got this book from.

Heath recalled that he had never bought such an obvious notebook for Zoroya.

"Ahem... I was just researching... um, researching the human body and its weaknesses!" Zoroya's eyes darted around, quickly coming up with a good excuse for his illegal activities.

Heath squinted at Soroya; this guy's ability to lie was becoming more and more natural.

"Do you know that according to the Pokémon League Cultural Management Regulations, if Pokémon and humans browse books, comics, movies, or other products related to these social issues and cause a negative impact or possess a large quantity, they can be sentenced to imprisonment for three months to three years?" Hiss said seriously to Zoroah, who immediately put away his book.

"Really?" Zoroya asked hesitantly.

“Of course it’s true. I did consider becoming Officer Jenny back then, and that’s how Sister Feng trained me. I memorized these relevant law books three years ago.” Heath said calmly. Although she hadn’t looked at them for a long time, she still remembered some of the general information.

After putting Zoroa and the others into their Poké Balls, Heath closed the car door, then climbed the stairs and took the teleportation array to Officer Jenny's communal dining hall. After looking at the ingredients for the day, Heath quickly decided what to cook. While Heath was cooking, he casually turned on the TV to watch the news.

Listening to the news, Heath suddenly looked up and saw that the three children on the screen were the same three who had bullied Karenia that morning. What happened to them? And why was it an internal conflict?

Heath shook his head, not paying much attention. Heath wasn't surprised by what these thugs did, after all, he had seen thugs do all sorts of outrageous things when he was in school.

After Heath finished preparing the food, Officer Jenny went home, and the entire canteen instantly became lively. Heath scooped up the food and hurried downstairs, intending to go see a movie.

The movies in the Pokémon world are very interesting. There are many kinds of movies here, but what Heath is most satisfied with is that there are no increasingly bizarre rules and systems like those in his previous life in America. This makes Heath feel happy. And recently, a movie is about to be released. The name is also very special. It is called "The Day the Planet Loses Pokémon". It is a fantasy work. Heath is very curious about what the people in the Pokémon world will be like in the movie.

"Trainer, why did you suddenly decide to go to the movies?" Zoroa asked curiously, perched on Hiss's head.

“Because there’s nothing much going on, and I think I need to relax sometimes.” Heath shrugged. He’s not a robot; he can’t spend all his time cooking and doing business. He needs to balance work and rest sometimes.

Heath has no plans to buy a game console yet, even though Soroya keeps urging him to.

Heath didn't want to buy a game console and then have to buy a TV to go with it. After all, the game consoles in this world were basically the same as in his previous life. In addition to the NS, there were also game consoles like the PS and the Xbox One X.

"A movie! Can I watch it?!" Soraya's eyes lit up.

Heath scratched his head. Heath really didn't know if the movie theater had seats for Pokémon. After all, this was Heath's first time going to the movies. Before, Heath had always watched free movies on his phone. For this, Aya had even given Heath a USB drive, and the young Heath had seen a whole bunch of educational films.

"I'll go ask. If the price isn't too expensive, I'll take you guys to see it." Heath nodded. Anyway, no one had ever been to a movie theater before, so it wasn't too late to go now. Heath was also very curious about what a movie theater in the Pokémon world would be like.

Chapter 201 An Encounter with Cynthia

Heath drove and soon saw his destination: Meiqiya Cinema, a chain of cinemas. The movie that Heath was very curious about, "The Day the Planet Lost Pokémon," was being shown at this cinema.

Upon entering the cinema, Heath saw the ticket price for the movie he wanted to see. The price wasn't high; a ticket only cost forty dollars. After asking a staff member, Heath learned that the cinema offered different services depending on the number and size of the Pokémon if viewers wanted to bring their own.

Popcorn, snacks, and cola are available, but the cola offered at this Meiqia Cinema is Charizard Cola and Blastoise Cola, as well as Venusaur Sprite.

Farfetch'd, Charmander, and Zoroark can all buy regular adult tickets, but Snorlax cannot. Snorlax requires a minimum of four-seat tickets. Alternatively, you can choose to watch the movie in a private Pokémon box, which is more expensive than a regular movie ticket but offers private air conditioning and soft cushions suitable for all Pokémon to lie on.

After hesitating for a moment, Heath seemed to choose to buy a private movie room. After all, Snorlax's identity was very special. If Zoroar got excited while watching the movie and accidentally canceled Snorlax's disguise, Heath would be in a real mess.

"Let's go see a movie." Heath clutched his wallet with a hint of regret as he led his Pokémon into the private room.

……

Two and a half hours later, Heath walked out looking bored. Heath realized that he had forgotten one thing: his past life was in a world without Pokémon. What fantasy movie could be more real than his memories?

However, some of the funny moments and scenes in the movie still brought a smile to Heath's face.

The ending didn't involve any forced education, which made Heath feel much better. He didn't want to be lectured all day long, and then have to be lectured again just to watch a movie; that would be too tiring.

"It's so late already? It's about time to go back to sleep." Heath yawned. The movie was quite long, so by the time Heath finished watching it, it was completely dark, and the food stalls and late-night snack stands on the street were bustling with activity.

Bars and KYV places have also become lively. Quartz Union is now showing how big a city it is. In contrast, the nights in smaller cities are basically deserted except for a few lively places.

Heath wasn't really interested in these things, since they were pretty much the same as the food stalls in his previous life, until he heard someone call his name.

"Miss Cynthia?" Heath stopped the car in surprise, and then saw Cynthia standing at a food stall, waving at him. There were many skewers in front of her, but Cynthia disguised herself for the night, wearing a hoodie and covering her face with the hood.

"Heath! Want to come for a late-night snack?" Seeing the happy Cynthia, Heath hesitated for a moment before walking over. Since things had already stopped, enjoying some nightlife once in a while seemed like a good option.

"Miss Cynthia, did you come alone? Didn't Mr. Sakaki come?" Heath looked around curiously, but didn't see Sakaki or Wataru.

I don't know how Cynthia came to be.

"I sneaked out. It's so boring being tied up all the time." Cynthia warmly handed Heath a skewer of grilled meat. Heath took it. It was a fish ball, and the texture was similar to the fish balls from his previous life. Although it had a fishy taste, it didn't contain much fish meat.

Heath looked at the huge pile of skewers and smacked his lips. This Cynthia was really a big eater. Heath felt that he couldn't finish all these skewers by himself. You have to know that Heath is currently in the growth spurt. As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his way out of poverty. But even Heath couldn't finish so many.

"Hmm...this woman is very strong!" Zoroah, perched on Hiss's head, carefully examined Cynthia and gave a very accurate assessment.

“She is indeed very strong. She is the champion of the Sinnoh League.” Hiss said to Zoroah telepathically, then swallowed the fish ball in his mouth, which was barely cooked.

Sororia's tail was wagging; she knew perfectly well what the championship meant, so she obediently huddled on Heath's head and remained still.

"Heath, I heard from Mr. Sakaki that you are a very good chef. So what do you think of the grilled fish balls you ate?" Cynthia asked Heath curiously, but her hands didn't stop moving as she ate another beef skewer.

"It's alright, but if you want fish balls to taste good, it's best to make them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. That way, the texture will be even better." Heath calmly gave his evaluation, but he spoke very softly. Rivals are common among competitors, and besides, life at a stall is not easy. Heath had also experienced this kind of life, so why would he want to undermine others for no reason?

As long as it's not expired or food from illegal workshops, Heath won't meddle.

Cynthia nodded as if she understood, though she didn't quite grasp the situation. However, her smile never faded as she looked at Heath, and Heath felt that Cynthia's gaze was rather strange.

"Miss Cynthia, are you here for tourism from Sinnoh?" Hiss asked Cynthia with a smile.

"Well, it's kind of like a vacation. It's a business trip paid for with company funds, so I figured since it's all going to be reimbursed anyway, I might as well eat my fill, right?" Cynthia smiled and ordered several more skewers, which made Heath quickly wave his hand, as he couldn't possibly finish them all.

This earned her a strange look from Cynthia. She had ordered for herself, while Heath could eat here or order for herself if she wanted to, considering it Cynthia's favor.

"Miss Cynthia's life is really carefree." Heath smiled. As expected of the champion, Cynthia is different now from the Cynthia in the future. If he had to say, Heath felt that the current Cynthia had more of a girlish heart.

“That’s right, I’ve always liked this kind of relaxed life.” Cynthia stretched, and Heath immediately looked away; Cynthia also had a great figure.

"Huh? Are you shy?" Cynthia seemed to have discovered something interesting. She stood up with a smile, put her hands on the barbecue table, and stared straight at Heath with her big eyes.

Chapter 202 Cynthia's Age Question

"Ahem, nothing at all. I just didn't expect Miss Cynthia to be so... cheerful." Hiss looked at Cynthia in front of him. This was more than cheerful; she was far too extroverted. He wondered how Cynthia had transformed from this girl into the dignified Sinnoh Champion in the past few years. Did her status really have a subtle influence on her?

"Hey, what are you saying? We finally escaped from Sinnoh, and we don't have anyone with us. It would be too boring if I didn't take this opportunity to relax." Cynthia pouted, then picked up her glass and gulped down a large mouthful of beer.

"Want a sip?" Cynthia asked Heath with a smile. Heath looked at the yellow liquid in his glass and couldn't help but swallow. Beer and barbecue, that's a perfect combination. Heath used to enjoy a bottle of ice-cold beer with his college roommates when they had barbecue.

However, Heath shook his head. The Alliance region has clear regulations regarding underage drinking. Although it's not that you can't drink in secret, considering that we're in the most densely populated night market, Heath held back.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot you're not an adult yet, tsk tsk." Cynthia smiled and took the glass back. Heath rolled her eyes. Was this guy drunk? Even at a time like this, he was still trying to tease her.

Heath didn't pay much attention and picked up a skewer. He couldn't tell what kind of meat it was; it seemed to be some kind of meat he had never eaten before. Curious, Heath took a bite. The texture was a bit dry, but it was grilled very well and had a lot of barbecue seasoning, making the skewer smell a bit pungent. If you didn't know better, you would think it had hot sauce on it.

"This chicken is too dry and doesn't taste very good." Heath pursed his lips. After washing the second piece of meat, he could see its color and then identify its type.

"What would you do if you roasted chicken?" Cynthia looked at Heath curiously. She didn't have many other hobbies. First was Pokémon, second was Sinnoh history research, and third was food.

Heath smiled but didn't say anything. There was no chicken left in his food cart for cooking, since most of it had been made into braised chicken. However, if he could get some more tomorrow, he could probably try to introduce a dish to go with drinks. But if it was a dish to go with drinks, Heath didn't have any wine to go with it.

"Was Farfetch'd your first Pokémon? Or this little guy on your head?" Cynthia glanced at Zoroark on Hiss's head. Zoroark shuddered and tried to curl up into a ball, as if doing so would avoid Cynthia's gaze. Hiss couldn't help but laugh.

"Farfetch'd was my first Pokémon, but I never thought about taking it to challenge gyms or anything like that. I just wanted my Pokémon to do what they liked." Heath shrugged. He always felt that there were many things to do in this world besides challenging gyms.

If we were to use the same language as in the previous life, then while going to university is the choice of most people, some people will not take this path and will choose other paths instead. This is perfectly understandable. As long as one can support oneself and have a decent future, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Want to have a match?" Cynthia took another sip of beer, gulping it down, then put the beer glass on the table and made a 'ha' sound. Heath's lips twitched; he was getting a little hungry too.

"No, I'm not interested in battling... But Miss Cynthia, are you an adult?" Hiss looked at Cynthia with a strange expression. As expected of people from the Pokémon world, the trainers here reach a consensus in a short time: through battling.

What? You're in a rush to go camping in the next city? Then let's have a battle first!

What? Your house is on fire? Then let's have a match!
