I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Ugh, so annoying, why do I have to go to work? I really don't understand..." Phoenix King stretched out its beautiful wings and flapped them idly, creating a breeze in the air. The breath of life drifted with the wind, floating through the forest, making the vegetation grow even more lush.

Emperor Yan and Lei Gong exchanged a glance; they were also curious about this question.

Suicune lay sullenly on the ground. Some time ago, those foolish human companies, for some reason, created a new game, and Suicune, as the most famous Pokémon in that game, was unanimously loved by the players. This was originally a good thing, and Suicune was happy to see itself being welcomed by people, after all, this world is still a world of humans and Pokémon.

The problem is, some genius little rascal discovered a way to skip class and catch Suicune: using a fishing net. Unfortunately, he couldn't escape the net, and his silly appearance inside quickly became the subject of memes, with images like "Suicune lying in the fishing net" followed by "I'm dying of laughter."

The matter was discussed by Yan Di and Lei Gong, and the result is that Suijun now completely ignores his two companions.

Just as Yan Di and Lei Gong were about to continue their conversation, the next second they saw a purplish-black hole appear in the sky. The next second, the bewildered Phoenix King transformed into a red-haired little girl and was grabbed by a hand, while the purplish-black hole disappeared.

"?" Emperor Yan and Lei Gong looked at each other in bewilderment. What had happened?

……

"You, you, you!" Looking at the red-haired, red-eyed little girl in front of him, Heath was completely dumbfounded. This thing could actually capture a legendary beast? That was just too powerful!

Ho-Oh was even more bewildered. She had just been in the forest next to Enchantress City, how did she suddenly end up in the Indigo League? And in human form no less! Then Ho-Oh looked at the golden ring on Heath's hand. Her keen intuition told her that the matter was very likely related to this golden ring.

"You stupid person... bastard! How did you capture me! Can I call the police?!" Ho-Oh glared angrily at Heath, his face flushed with embarrassment. Heath's lips twitched. Could he say that he didn't know how he had brought Ho-Oh over?

"Um... it's probably like putting an elephant in a refrigerator in a few steps?" Heath scratched his head and stretched out his hand again, but this time the feeling was gone. Instead, it was a different kind of intuition. His intuition told Heath that he would have to wait a month before he could use the golden circle again.

It seems this golden circle has a pretty long cooldown, but that's normal. If there were no cooldown, and Hiss could do whatever he wanted, he felt he could even try to pull over Giratina, the Twin Gods of Time and Space, or something like that... wait a minute...

Heath suddenly had a bold idea. He had just been thinking of bringing out the red-haired little girl, but Ho-Oh ended up in his hands. So, in other words, what if he had just been thinking of bringing out a cute, blonde, beast-eared little girl named Arceus? Wouldn't that mean...

Just as Heath was thinking this, he suddenly felt himself being watched by some strange force, as if he were standing in the universe. This made Heath swallow hard. It seemed he couldn't think too much, otherwise Arceus might sense his thoughts.

"Are you kidding me?" Phoenix looked at Heath with hostility. Phoenix hadn't expected how Heath had just done that. Thinking about it now, it was a little scary. If Heath pulled her like that while she was taking a bath next time, Phoenix felt that to protect her innocence, she would probably have to ask Heath to die.

"Ahem... This is... a new product I tried, but it doesn't seem to be working very well... Um, would you like something to eat?" Heath abruptly changed the subject. Ho-Oh gave Heath a deep look, an expression that sent chills down Heath's spine.

"We have brown sugar eggs today, or would you like something else?" Heath smiled awkwardly. It seemed that Ho-Oh wasn't so easy to fool.

"Hmph, it's so hot today. Make me something to cool down and relieve the heat. If it's good, I'll forgive you. If it's not good, hmph... you might as well just die." Phoenix glared at Heath, then pulled over a small stool, sat down on it with a cool laugh, crossed his arms, and looked at Heath with piercing eyes. Heath swallowed hard.

Chapter 233 Summer and shaved ice are a perfect match

However, looking at the cloudless sky above, Heath had to admit that the weather was indeed very hot today. It was so hot that even though it was still morning, many people couldn't help but wipe away their sweat. No wonder Heath's phone had just received a yellow high temperature warning. But this kind of heat shouldn't be a problem for Ho-Oh, right?

"Would you like a new cup of rice wine?" Heath chuckled and made a joke, but it was obvious that Ho-Oh didn't know what she meant. Instead, she calmly let Heath do as she pleased, and she was only responsible for eating.

Heath got serious. To be honest, there are only a few types of food you can eat on a hot day, and even fewer that meet Ho-Oh's requirements. After hesitating for a moment, Heath decided what to make today: shaved ice, a must-have summer treat.

Think about it, what could be more tempting than shaved ice in the summer? Especially when the sun is blazing, your whole body is drenched in sweat, and even when you find a shady spot, the warmth of the sun still lingers on your back. At this moment, sitting in the shade, enjoying the cool breeze, and taking out a shaved ice, spooning it into your mouth, seems to make the hot summer feel peaceful and wonderful with each bite.

Heath didn't have any ice, but it wasn't complicated to make. Heath carried a bucket of water inside to find Snorlax, then stopped the Snorlax that was practicing its song, and then fired an Ice Beam at the bucket of water. The next second, a bucket of ice was ready.

"Trainer... what are you... going to do..." Zoroya lay on the belly of the Yeti Snorlax, looking at Hiss in a daze. It was so comfortable to lie on the belly of the Yeti Snorlax in the hot weather that Zoroya didn't want to move anymore.

Heath glanced at the fox cake, said irritably to make food, and then walked out of the lounge. He vowed that after Zorua evolved, Heath would become the most cruel and emotionless capitalist, exploiting Zorua's labor force every day. Forget 996, let's just go for 007!

Heath took out a block of ice from the ice bucket and put it into the special ice shaver, which was also a kitchen utensil that came with the portable kitchen. It has to be said that the portable kitchen is one of the best rewards Heath has received so far. The other one that Heath thinks is the sensitivity potion he was given last time is the one he received last time.

A bowl full of shaved ice, then topped with jam and various fruits chopped by the scallion duck, and finally sprinkled with some syrup, and that's how a sweet and icy shaved ice is made.

"Looks like... Hmph, just so-so." Ho-Oh picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The intense shaved ice instantly froze Ho-Oh's mouth. The weather was already very hot today, and at this time, a bowl of icy shaved ice made Ho-Oh let out a pleasant sigh.

Heath also keenly noticed the envious glances cast by many pedestrians on the street. Heath smiled, took out a blackboard, and wrote on it: "[Hot weather perk: Limited-time special offer on shaved ice, 8 Alliance Coins per serving]".

Eight dollars seems quite cheap, but Heath makes a lot of money. After all, these costs are very low for Heath. Shaved ice has no cost, the only cost is drinking water, and the rest is jam and fruit, but the cost of these things is very low, so Heath doesn't really care.

The launch of shaved ice instantly gained popularity. Actually, Heath isn't the only company that makes shaved ice, but Heath's shaved ice looks very big and the portions are generous. Given that the prices are similar, people will definitely choose Heath's shaved ice first. After all, when it comes to real-world spending, people are still quite careful about their money.

While online shopping can be extravagant, emptying your shopping cart and watching those numbers disappear without a second thought, the feeling of heartache when taking cash out of your wallet in real life is different. So, at this point, many people actually feel a sense of thrift when spending cash in the real world.

"How does it taste?" Heath handed a shaved ice to a customer who had just come to buy some, and then looked at Ho-Oh, who had already finished his shaved ice, and asked with a smile.

"Hmph, the taste is... terrible! Really, how can it taste so bad? It's not tasty at all!" Ho-Oh nodded subconsciously, then seemed to think of something, and arrogantly put his hands on his hips, looking at Heath with a dissatisfied expression.

Heath chuckled as she looked at Ho-Oh, resting her chin on her hand. To be honest, Ho-Oh's human loli form was quite adorable. Just as there was the giant snake knight Xu Xian in ancient times, and the ghost knight Ning Caichen in later times, Heath looked at the cute Ho-Oh in front of her and thought that there must be someone who wouldn't mind becoming Ho-Oh's knight.

However, given Ho-Oh's adorable appearance, Heath thought that a sentence of three years or more, up to the death penalty, didn't seem so outrageous.

"But... it's still refreshing, so I'll forgive you today~" Ho-Oh snorted, then put down eight League Coins and hopped away. Heath watched and wanted to laugh a little. This Ho-Oh really has the personality of a little girl.

After seeing off the haughty Ho-Oh, Heath happily continued to entertain the guests who came later. It has to be said that shaved ice is really popular with many people in the hot summer. Heath herself also loves to eat shaved ice, but considering her Pokémon, she also made one for each of them.

After finishing, Heath glanced at the rearview mirror. Mimikyu was still secretly observing over there. The sunlight shone on the sewer drain. Heath couldn't help but scratch his head. Then he made a shaved ice, carried it out, and as Heath approached, Mimikyu's ears suddenly twitched and then shrank back.

Heath didn't pay any attention and simply placed the shaved ice in the drain opening.

"It's so hot, why don't you eat something? But it's best not to eat in the sewers, otherwise you won't get to taste the summer flavor." Heath said softly. He had interacted with stray Pokémon before and knew their personalities very well. Getting too close wouldn't work; it was best to keep some distance so that the stray Pokémon would be more accepting.

After serving the shaved ice, Heath left immediately. When Heath returned to the food truck, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Mimikyu slowly emerge from the sewer drain. It reached out and picked up the shaved ice, then shuddered and slowly shrank into a dark corner while still holding the shaved ice.

Chapter 234 Mr. Asong on His Day Off

Heath watched Mimikyu hiding there eating with curiosity. Half of its body was exposed, but Heath could notice that every time Mimikyu took a bite of shaved ice, its body would suddenly jerk, and its Pikachu suit would stand up like many spikes, which looked quite cute.

Then it was one shiver after another, one shiver after another, you'd think it was some kind of strange ritual.

“This little guy…” Heath chuckled and shook his head, not paying any more attention to him, and turned to serve the guests who had come to eat and order shaved ice.

"Good morning, Mr. Heath." Mr. Asong arrived. The dark circles under Mr. Asong's eyes looked a bit better today. Heath vaguely remembered that today should have been Mr. Asong's day off. Mr. Asong was an office worker who could only rest one day a week.

"Good morning, Mr. Asong. Did you rest today?" Heath looked at Asong curiously. This was quite rare. Most of the time, Mr. Asong's dark circles were getting thicker and thicker. It was rare to see them lighten like this today.

So Heath thinks this is probably related to the fact that Mr. Asson didn't stay up late yesterday and got more sleep today.

"Hmm... It's rare to have a day off today, no work, no coding... Yawn... I've been sleeping since I got home at nine yesterday, so comfortable..." Ah Song stretched, and Heath looked at him sympathetically. It was already past ten or eleven o'clock, and Ah Song had slept for fourteen hours straight.

It's really pitiful. He only had one day to rest, and he didn't have time to do anything. He spent it all sleeping. As a result, after finally getting a short rest, he had to continue working overtime and staying up late the next day. Heath felt that Mr. Asong was like a tightly wound spring, constantly busy and never having a moment of peace.

Of course, this also shows how tired Mr. Asong must be to sleep for such a long time. Heath thinks it's only possible for Mr. Asong to sleep like that. If he were to work overtime every day, he probably wouldn't be able to last long. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the human body in the Pokémon world is more special.

"Mr. Asong, what would you like to eat?" Heath smiled at Asong. Although Asong didn't go to work today, his company still sent someone to order takeout. It came in the morning, and the person was a girl with similarly dark circles under her eyes. When Heath saw the girl's dark circles, she thought of Asong. Later, she found out that they really were from the same company. This made Heath very curious about the company's boss. If he liked to torture his employees like this, he would definitely be trending on social media in the old world.

"Ah... I don't have much of an appetite. Give me one of these brown sugar eggs and a crab roe soup dumpling, please." Mr. Song yawned widely. He was so sleepy that he really had no appetite and felt dizzy. If it weren't for the thought of not wasting his rare day off, Mr. Song would definitely have gone to sleep for a while, or even slept until tomorrow.

Ah Song remembers that some of his colleagues in his company would just sleep on their rare days off. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, they would just sleep. They wouldn't even dare to think about dating or anything like that.

Heath nodded. He would take care of the brown sugar and eggs, while Big Green Duck would be in charge of the crab roe soup dumplings. It has to be said that since Big Green Duck learned how to make crab roe soup dumplings, his cooking skills have indeed improved considerably, and he can now help Heath with some things. Heath was very satisfied with this.

"Hello, can I buy breakfast here?" A strange voice came from inside. Heath looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked very wealthy. The man had excellent taste in clothes, and on his wrist, which was inadvertently exposed, was a luxury brand watch that was very famous in the Pokémon world. Even the most ordinary one would cost several million League Coins. This man was really a rich man who could wear a house on his wrist at will.

It's often said that watches are toys for the wealthy. Without a certain level of wealth and status, it's indeed difficult to wear such expensive items on one's wrist. After all, for someone who is moderately wealthy, buying a car or a house is more worthwhile than wearing a watch.

"Of course, what would you like to eat?" However, Heath's expression didn't change much. A tycoon? Heh, he'd even seen mythical beasts. A mere tycoon was nothing to him.

"Then I'll have one of these crab roe soup dumplings, and another one of these large crispy beef noodles. Please add some beef to it, I like beef." The man was surprised by Heath's indifference, but there was an interesting look in his eyes. He smiled and made his request, then noticed Ah Song getting nervous.

Heath noticed Ason's nervousness, which piqued his curiosity. Ever since the man appeared, Ason seemed uneasy, much like someone who had found the headmaster sitting next to them at school. This led Heath to speculate about the man's identity.

"Hmm? You...you're Ah Song from the game development department?" The man looked at Ah Song and pondered for a moment before asking curiously.

"Hello, boss! I...I am indeed Asong." Asong stiffened, then turned around awkwardly and greeted him respectfully. Heath's expression changed as well. Good heavens, he was actually Mr. Asong's boss. This was really interesting. Heath had been wondering what kind of person Mr. Asong's boss would be, but it turned out to be this very person.

However, a boss is a boss. Compared to Ah Song's dark circles, this boss looks much more energetic, with no dark circles at all, and is very well-maintained.

Judging by appearance alone, Heath thought the other person was even a little older than Asong. Tsk, no wonder he deserved to be hung on a lamppost.

"Ah, it really is you. I saw your development department's performance at the company's annual party before, it was quite interesting." The big boss laughed, and Ah Song also smiled awkwardly. Heath looked at Ah Song with sympathy. For working people, the annual party is a kind of torture. They are all adults, but they still have to perform some kind of program at the company's annual party. If you didn't know better, you would think they were doing something ridiculous. There are also a lot of complaints about the annual party on the Internet.

Fortunately, Heath wasn't just an employee; he chose to be his own chef and boss, doing what he loved, and his passion was enough to support his family, which was pretty good.

"Young man, keep up the good work. After this project is finished, I'll give you a seven-day holiday so you can have a good rest. You've really worked hard." The boss patted Ah Song on the shoulder.

Chapter 235 Big Green Onion Duck: I'm not human, but you're a real dog

Heath looked at the portly man in front of him in surprise. He really didn't expect that this man would give his employees time off. Heath originally thought that this was a heartless capitalist, but now it seemed that he had some human touch.

"Thank you so much, boss. I really wanted to relax and rest during this time," Mr. Asong said happily. Although his department had been very busy developing a new game, the seven-day holiday was still very tempting.

"Sir, your braised beef noodles are ready. Please enjoy." Heath smiled and handed the man the braised beef noodles she had just made. At the man's request, Heath had added a lot of beef to the noodles this time, so the bowl of beef noodles looked very substantial.

"It smells good, thank you boss... Ah Song, keep up the good work, the company won't forget your contributions." The man patted Ah Song on the shoulder with a smile, then took the beef noodles that Heath brought over, paid for them, and went to eat his own breakfast.

If it weren't for knowing the man's wealth and Ah Song's attitude towards him, Heath would have found it hard to associate the man sitting on a small chair eating noodles with the boss of a large company.

"Boss Heath, could you change my brown sugar and egg to takeout?" Asong's expression was a little strange as he watched his boss sitting in a chair eating. Heath nodded understandingly. If it were him, he wouldn't want to sit and eat with his boss either, because that feeling was terrible.

“Of course, no problem, Mr. Asong. I’ll pack your brown sugar eggs for you.” Heath nodded, then handed Mr. Asong the brown sugar eggs he needed. He then watched Mr. Asong say goodbye to his boss and leave in a hurry.

Heath then served the guests who came one after another. In the summer, a refreshing and delicious shaved ice attracted the attention of most of the guests, and Heath made a fortune as a result. However, even though there were many people, Heath did not run into Mr. Sakaki, which made Heath a little curious. Could it be that Mr. Sakaki had gone back?

Not only Mr. Sakaki, but also Ms. Heathina and the father of the boy we saw last time were nowhere to be seen. Thinking about it, it's not surprising; it's probably because the museum owner's meeting has already ended.

As the busy mealtime approached, Heath became even busier, with wave after wave of customers keeping him constantly occupied.

While Heath was busy entertaining guests, she suddenly noticed that her sleeve had been tugged. Curious, she looked down and realized that it was Farfetch'd who had pulled her sleeve.

"Green Onion Duck? What's wrong with you?" Heath looked at Green Onion Duck with a puzzled expression, then turned his head and saw that all the crab roe soup dumplings in front of Green Onion Duck had been sold out.

That's normal, after all, Farfetch'd's crab roe soup dumplings are quite popular and well-liked by the people of the Indigo League. They usually sell out before noon. However, what Heath doesn't understand is why Farfetch'd is pulling on his clothes.

"Onion said that a human bought crab roe soup dumplings but didn't pay immediately. Instead, he took the dumplings and ran away. Onion can't find that person now." Sororia poked his head out and translated Farfetch'd's words to Heath.

"So you got skipped out on your bill?" Heath looked at Farfetch'd with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He really hadn't expected that Farfetch'd would ever be the subject of such malicious skipping out on his bill. However, in the restaurant industry, such things are unavoidable unless customers are required to settle all their bills before eating. Otherwise, there will always be customers who skip out on their bills.

Many restaurants now require customers to settle their bills before the meal, which is also due to this concern.

However, these restaurants are often smaller ones. Most larger restaurants still maintain the practice of eating first and then paying, which is to account for the possibility that customers may choose to order other food during their meal.

“It’s alright, Green Onion Duck. But I remember saying that customers need to pay first before ordering. Why can this customer skip out on the bill?” Heath looked at Green Onion Duck with some confusion. He didn’t quite understand the situation because, considering the issue of customers skipping out on the bill, Heath had always required customers to pay first before ordering, or to pay after receiving the food.

"Onion said that the customer was very enthusiastic and kept sincerely saying that he would pay later. Then Onion felt embarrassed and the customer skipped out on the bill." Sororia poked her head out again and translated in a serious tone. Heath looked at Farfetch'd's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but laugh.

There are countless problems caused by embarrassment. In Heath's view, this is a common problem among young people, especially those who have just stepped out of school and are beginning to experience the harsh realities of society.

In fact, Heath paid a price to learn these things, such as how to refuse others instead of always agreeing, and how not to agree to things he didn't want to because of pride, which would be very troublesome.

If Heath had been the one to serve that customer, he would have made the customer pay first, or he would have offered the crab roe soup dumplings to the customer after the customer had paid.

But Farfetch'd was just starting out in business, so being shy wasn't a big problem. Heath just patted Farfetch'd's head and told him to remember this lesson.

However, seeing that Farfetch'd still looked regretful, Heath didn't know what to say and could only let Farfetch'd slowly calm down.

Heath glanced at the rearview mirror again, but Mimikyu wasn't there. It seemed Mimikyu was hiding. Heath didn't think much of it and continued to entertain the guests who kept coming in.

At the same time, Heath glanced at the time, then opened the pot lid, took out the edible quartz, squeezed it in his hand, and then put it back, continuing to prepare this tedious food.
