I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

……

"Oh dear, Mr. Giovanni, I'm sorry, I hit him a little too hard." Cynthia clapped her hands with a smile and walked over apologetically. Giovanni looked at his sixth Pokémon that had fallen and managed a forced smile.

Yesterday, Cynthia said she wanted to fight Giovanni, but Giovanni didn't want to fight her at the time. So he made up an excuse to bring Cynthia to Hiss's side, hoping that Hiss would tempt Cynthia's stomach with delicious food. But he didn't expect Cynthia to come to him again today. This made Giovanni, who was already a little annoyed because the Dream Plan was not going well, completely explode.

Frustrated by the interruptions and frustrated by the setbacks of his dream plan, Giovanni became extremely angry. In this state of extreme anger, he faced off against Cynthia, and his extreme anger has persisted to this day because he has never been able to defeat her.

Although Cynthia is young, she is not a weak trainer. Those who can become champions are not simple characters, and Cynthia proved this with this battle. Giovanni's strength is indeed very good, but when facing Cynthia, Giovanni did not reveal his true strength and was beaten badly. If Cynthia had not been considerate of Giovanni's face, she might have won three in a row or six in a row.

Fortunately, Cynthia eventually switched to five Pokémon and finally defeated Giovanni with her strongest Garchomp. However, it was clear to everyone that Giovanni's Pokémon lineup had little chance of winning against Cynthia.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just not as skilled as her. But Cynthia's strength is truly terrifying. She's a force to be reckoned with." Giovanni's mood had calmed down considerably. He smiled at Cynthia and said these polite words. After all, what did Cynthia from the Sinnoh region have to do with him, Giovanni from the Kanto region?

The real headache is those dark organizations in the Sinnoh region. Giovanni had heard Apollo mention a new Team Galactic that had recently emerged in Sinnoh, claiming to have a history spanning thousands of years and stealing other people's Pokémon. Giovanni scoffed at this.

Giovanni despises this kind of low-IQ behavior the most. If someone has enough strength, it's not incomprehensible if they are still so arrogant. But before they have enough strength, they need to learn to hide themselves. Only by hiding themselves can they develop steadily. This is why Giovanni has been shaping his persona.

Giovanni set the day he would break with the League: the day Project Dream succeeded. When the created Pokémon was born and belonged to Team Rocket, Team Rocket would have the right to operate under the League's nose. Before that, Giovanni would only quietly accumulate his strength and would not do anything that would arouse the League's suspicion.

"Sigh, I'm hungry." Giovanni sighed, looking at Cynthia who was pulling him to discuss Earth Pokémon tactics and training methods. Giovanni rubbed his stomach helplessly. It seemed he would have to go hungry for a while. He wondered what Cynthia was doing and whether she had introduced any new dishes today.

……

Completely unaware that he was being thought of by Giovanni, Heath was entertaining Musashi. Musashi seemed somewhat distracted, even while eating, constantly glancing furtively at his surroundings before continuing to eat. This made Heath want to laugh; it seemed that sitting here with Mr. Giovanni last time had put immense pressure on Musashi.

"Miss Musashi, what are you looking at?" Heath asked Musashi with amusement.

"Look at the old...look at the handsome old man." Musashi replied subconsciously, but quickly stopped and then said something else to Heath.

"Miss Musashi, how long do you plan to be away at Indigo League headquarters? I'll be staying at Indigo League for the time being." Heath asked Musashi. Musashi paused for a moment, then put down her chopsticks and started counting on her fingers, but then realized that Heath was watching her and quickly withdrew her hands.

"It'll probably be another week. If I can finish the tasks assigned by the company ahead of schedule, then I can leave earlier," Musashi said calmly.

A week? It seems they're not after Cynthia. Come to think of it, it makes sense. Team Rocket isn't just sitting around doing nothing. Why would they randomly target a powerful Sinnoh champion? Wouldn't that be just asking for trouble?

Moreover, given Musashi's strength, it's impossible for him to do anything to Cynthia.

Before they met James and Meowth and formed Team Rocket, the three of them didn't have any amazing high-tech gadgets. Of course, after they started traveling with the protagonist Ash, the Team Rocket trio took on the task of inventing high-tech gadgets.

Anyway, no one knows how they did it. Heath thinks it's probably a case of three cobblers being equal to one Zhuge Liang.

Heath patted Zoroya, comforting the grumpy little fox. Zoroya kept glaring at Musashi through gritted teeth. Heath figured it was probably because Musashi had delayed Zoroya from buying the game console, but that was perfectly normal for a chef; some customers were just good at choosing their time to eat.

Chapter 210 The Thing Called Dreams

Not every customer comes to eat at the designated time. Some customers will come to eat when the restaurant is about to close, almost like the last minute of a game. Heath is quite indifferent to this, so he doesn't have any emotional fluctuations.

However, to avoid having his hair pulled out by Zoroya and creating a receding hairline, Heath quietly picked Zoroya up. A man's hairline is very important. After all, there was a saying in his previous life that a bald head is the only standard to test a handsome man, and Heath thought that this statement was very true.

"Miss Musashi, speaking of which, what's your favorite food?" Histo looked at Musashi curiously, chin in hand. Musashi's favorite flavors were rather unique, and she didn't really have any dislikes. Histo thought it was quite good that Musashi wasn't picky about food.

"Me? I like to eat... hot, delicious food that can fill my stomach, and I hate cold food that can't fill my stomach." Musashi paused for a moment, then showed a look of reminiscence before giving an answer.

Heath touched his chin thoughtfully. So that's how it is. Heath had been thinking about what Musashi liked to eat, but Musashi's tastes were quite simple, even though what Heath was making now suited Musashi's taste.

Musashi smiled at Heath, and seeing that Heath didn't press the matter further, he lowered his head and continued eating. However, what Heath had just said made Musashi's eyes dim.

After finishing his meal, Musashi paid and left. However, instead of immediately carrying out his mission, he wandered aimlessly through the streets. Although Boss Giovanni had assigned him the mission, the specific timing of its execution was entirely up to Musashi. Giovanni didn't care about the process, only the result.

As she wandered around, Musashi came to the entrance of a bookstore. She didn't know why she went in, but since she was already there, Musashi didn't mind browsing around.

“Pokémon…” Musashi looked at the bookshelf in front of him, which contained books such as “Pokémon Medical and Nursing Basics” and “Pokémon Medical and Nursing Professional Qualification Examination Questions and Answers”. Musashi looked at the books in front of him, reached out and touched them, his expression somewhat complicated.

Jessie recalled her past. Back then, Jessie was a girl studying at the Pokémon Medical Academy, dreaming of becoming a Pokémon medic, like the respected Nurse Joy. It was during that time that Jessie met her friend, a Chansey.

However, compared to the abnormal talent of the Nurse Joy family, Jessie doesn't have much of that talent. She can't always treat Pokémon well, and she often falls asleep while Chansey is singing to comfort injured Pokémon.

Therefore, the dream of Pokémon healing has also been shattered.

"Oh dear, this brings back some unpleasant memories." Musashi stretched and accidentally knocked a book over. She hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, and then she noticed another hand on top of the book.

Fair, clean hands, slender hands—Musashi's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the destined moment from those romantic comedy novels? Had she finally met her soulmate? Then, the two of them would look up at each other simultaneously, and Musashi would smile shyly.

Because of shared interests, the two quickly became strangers who could talk. As they got to know each other better and communicated more, the two young people grew closer and closer. Finally, on a sunny morning, under a flowering tree, Musashi, dressed in a long white dress, shyly received a confession from her true love...

Thinking of this, Musashi became even more excited. She took a deep breath, then slowly raised her head and looked ahead. She was stunned because there was a girl in front of her with an apologetic expression on her face. She was very cute, even cuter than Musashi.

"I'm so sorry, I accidentally bumped into you." The girl smiled apologetically, but then she seemed to hear the sound of glass breaking. Musashi smiled awkwardly, then stood up with a flushed face. How could she have not thought that the hand might be a girl's hand?

"Do you want to become... a Pokémon medic?" The girl looked at the book Jessie was holding with a strange expression, and then asked.

"Hmm...no, that was a dream I had back then." Musashi nodded first, then shook his head.

"As for dreams, as long as you don't give up, you'll always get closer to them someday. You must never give up because of something like that!" The girl waved her fist energetically, looking very determined.

"Hello, my name is Saya! I know a bit about Pokémon medical care, would you like to exchange ideas?" Saya smiled and extended her hand.

Musashi stared blankly at Saya in front of him. This girl was... excessively enthusiastic. However, listening to Saya's words, Musashi also thought of himself when he had twin tails, the dream he gave up after being expelled, and the young him who could only eat snow sushi on a snowy mountain because there was nothing to eat.

"Um... My name is Musashi, and I'm a trainer!" Musashi extended her hand, and the two girls shook hands. The gentle sunlight shone through the library's glass, illuminating the two girls with a warm glow.

……

"Is this the Rotom electronics store?" Heath looked at the electronics store in front of him, somewhat surprised.

The appliance store in front of us was decorated in a very stylish way, with a futuristic feel. It was packed with customers; Heath even saw that there was a queue to get in, which showed how popular the store was.

"PS5!" Zoroya excitedly perched on Heath's head, watching with fervor a customer carrying the PS5 as he left the electronics store.

Heath reluctantly picked up Zoroah and then stared at the few black hairs on Zoroah's paws with a dark expression. He couldn't let Zoroah get carried away in the future, otherwise Heath felt that he could have earned the title of "Most Intelligent" at such a young age.

"If you want it, come and line up. We still have to line up to get in." Heath grabbed Soria by the neck and pulled her to the end of the line. There were still more than a dozen people ahead of her. Heath felt like she had returned to her past life.

After all, there are many Chinese people, and they even queue up at certain times. For example, when the supermarket next door has discounted eggs and half-price meat, Heath often fights with various elderly people for those cheap eggs and meat.

“I do miss it…” Heath shook his head.

Chapter 211 A familiar recipe, I wonder if it will taste familiar too.

Standing at the end of the line, Heath pondered what he needed to buy today. Since he had set the flag himself, Heath felt he should indeed buy a TV. And if he bought a TV, he should naturally get a television too. Besides that, there were other household appliances like a washing machine.

Fortunately, Heath had some savings, otherwise buying these things would have been a difficult problem. However, because she made a lot of money selling rare ingredients, Heath was now quite wealthy. In addition to these, Heath's daily turnover was also quite high, so compared to when she first transmigrated, Heath had saved quite a lot of money.

"Oh? Isn't that Heath?" A familiar voice interrupted Heath's thoughts, and Heath looked up and was surprised to find that the person standing in front of her in line was Cynthia!

Hiss's lips twitched. He remembered that the Sinnoh region's representative team should only be in the Kanto region for two or three days. How come Cynthia has so much time to come here and queue up now?

"Miss Cynthia? What brings you here?" Hiss asked, puzzled. He looked around and, not seeing any League staff, guessed that Cynthia had sneaked out again. The Sinnoh League must be having a real headache dealing with a champion like her.

"Of course I'm here to buy cheap appliances. I'm planning to buy a Princess 5. It's rare to see discounts here, and besides, this can be reimbursed... no, I mean, take it home." Cynthia said proudly. Heath helplessly rubbed his nose. You just meant to say reimbursement, didn't you?

However, for the wealthy and powerful League, let alone the Fifth Princess, even if Cynthia wanted to acquire Sony Corporation, the company that manufactures the Fifth Princess, it wouldn't be impossible... no, it would require careful consideration, since Sony is a pillar enterprise in the Carlos region.

"Did you bring any food?" Cynthia asked, looking at the now much more subdued Zoroah and then at Hiss.

“No, my food truck is parked in the parking lot.” Heath shook his head. Although he was a chef, it was illegal for him to carry a kitchen knife with him. This was the headquarters of the Quartz Federation, and they were very strict about these things.

Heath and Cynthia were also let in smoothly. They went to the Princess 5 counter together, where there were many Princess 5s on display. Heath bought a discounted Princess 5 without hesitation, and also bought a game controller and headphones.

However, compared to Heath's cautious purchasing, Cynthia was much more casual in her shopping. She basically bought everything she liked, and even took a camera that came with the Fifth Princess, which left Heath completely bewildered.

“Miss Cynthia, you like playing games too.” Heath looked at Cynthia, who was humming an unknown tune and strolling around the electronics store in sandals. He felt as if he was seeing another side of Cynthia, the young Cynthia.

"I'm not a robot, I definitely need some entertainment, but I don't know how often I can play with it after buying it." Cynthia looked at the Princess 5 in her hand with a troubled expression. Heath wanted to laugh a little, but still picked out a Sony TV. Since she was already buying the Princess 5, it was best to go for the best from the start.

Being a champion is very tiring. Heath thinks that Cynthia's rapid growth in a few years is probably related to the tempering of the champion position. After all, champions have to deal with a lot of things every day and also need to discuss things with other people in the league. That is the adult world.

After buying what she needed, Heath was about to leave when she saw Cynthia also coming out with her things and following behind her. Heath's lips twitched.

"...I can only make one serving of fried chicken and three roasted pig's trotters, is that alright?" Heath guessed why Cynthia had followed him. Cynthia nodded smugly. Heath was a little helpless, but still led Cynthia to his food truck.

After putting Princess Five and the TV into the lounge, Heath came out and started preparing the fried chicken and roasted pig's trotters that Cynthia wanted to eat. These were the only ingredients Heath had left today, as she had sold out of most of the other ingredients.

The crab roe soup dumplings that Farfetch'd failed to make that morning were taken by the Stray Pokémon Association and the Stray Pet Association. Heath also received a cute donation plaque, made by the association members themselves. These association members don't have much money, so they give these plaques to donors. However, Heath thought the plaques were quite cute.

"Heath, will you open a shop in Sinnoh?" Cynthia asked Heath, resting her chin on her hand.

Heath paused for a moment, unsure how to answer the question. After all, from a certain perspective, Heath would definitely travel through the Kanto region first, collect all the rewards, before considering setting foot on another land, or perhaps returning directly to Evergreen City to entertain familiar guests in that familiar and peaceful little city.

"If you're coming, you'd better let me know. I'll definitely come to buy food every day!" Cynthia said very seriously. Heath nodded, which was considered an agreement. Maybe next time he gets something that can repair the Anywhere Door, Heath can repair the Anywhere Door and travel to other Alliance regions from time to time.

"I have a little tidbit for you." After receiving her snack, Cynthia gave a mysterious smile. Heath was a little curious—a mysterious piece of information?

"You know that region that recently joined the League, right?" Cynthia said mysteriously. Heath was taken aback; he hadn't seen this news before, since he usually looked at recipes on his phone.

However, it seems that Heath had actually read some information about that new region. It is said to be a unique region where people catch Pokémon in different ways than in other regions, and there are even some novel differences and settings.

"In about a week or two, or maybe sooner or later, the region that just joined the League will bring its Pokémon to other regions for exchange visits. I remember there's a really cute little cat Pokémon there, a Grass-type Pokémon that's been recommended as one of the starter Pokémon, its name is... Newleaf Meow. You can go check it out if you're interested. Apparently, you have a chance to get those Pokémon by participating in the event!" Cynthia said earnestly.

Heath paused for a moment. Newleaf Meow? A Grass-type feline Pokémon? One of the starter Pokémon?

For some reason, Hiss remembered the Ember Spirit he had chosen because of its looks when he played Pokémon Sun and Moon. He thought he would get a cute cat, but then...

Chapter 212 Revitalizing the Glory of Grass-type, New Leaf Cat Has an Unshirkable Duty!

Thinking of that muscular tiger, Heath gasped. It felt like adopting a stray kitten on the street, thinking it would be cute and cuddly, only to find out it was actually a Siberian tiger. You can imagine how you felt.

"What is the final evolution of that New Leaf Cat?" Hiss asked Cynthia. He felt this question was crucial. If another Grass-type Tiger appeared, it would be too terrifying.

However, the designs of the three starter Pokémon are actually quite unique and follow certain patterns. Fire starters are generally of the powerful and imposing type, and perhaps the designers like the Fire/Fighting type, so many Fire starters are Fire/Fighting type, such as Infernape and Infernape.

Water-type starters fall into two extremes: either they have bizarre designs that attract fans with their unique style, or they are quite beautiful, such as Primarina from the Alola region. Primarina and Milotic are considered the two most beautiful Pokémon in the Pokémon world and are very popular.

As for the Grass Lord...

Heath thought of the gorilla he had seen when he played Sword and Shield in his previous life. It has to be said that Grass-type starters are generally not very popular, especially compared to the other two. Their popularity is usually quite low. Only a few unique Grass-type starters have gained everyone's recognition.

If Neoleafy evolves to be cuter and prettier, it could probably revive the glory of the Grass type, and Neoleafy would be duty-bound to do so.

"Hmm? I haven't heard of it, but I've heard it's quite cute." Cynthia paused for a moment, then waved her hand dismissively, and continued gnawing on her pig's trotter. This was really Cynthia's style; after all, she was more interested in her Pokémon.

"Hmm? But there seems to be a strange smell here... Have you been drinking?" Cynthia's little nose twitched, and Heath couldn't help but twitch his own nose after seeing this. He used to think that being able to move his nose was his special skill, but he later learned that many people's noses can move.

“No, but I did brew some wine.” Heath shook his head, then took out two small bottles from his refrigerator. The bottles contained a dark, inky liquid, and the rich aroma of the wine was even more pronounced after they were taken out.

This is the drink that Seath made this morning using Darkrai's Tears. After hesitating for a while, Seath named the drink Dream, just that one word. Originally, Seath had considered whether to name it Nightmare or Darkrai's Tears, but he thought that if that made Darkrai unhappy and it came up and beat him up, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

So Heath named himself Dream, but for the sake of his dream, Heath also secretly wrote another name backwards on the label of the liquor: "Tears of Darkrai". So even if others saw it, what would it have to do with Heath?

"Brewing wine? You can brew wine?" Cynthia looked surprised, while Heath touched his nose with a smug yet guilty expression.

"I know a little, I know a little." Heath smiled. Cynthia looked at him with disbelief. Then she hesitated for a moment, took out her phone and sent a message, and then sat down in front of Heath's food cart with a smile.
