Chapter 310: Chapter 170: Ash’s Journey
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, amused by the scene before him, and then sighed, "Now even Pokémon have learned to play tricks, huh."
But it had to be said, the world of Pokémon was a pretty realistic one, especially those fascinating Pokémon that filled people with longing.
Shaking his head, Chen Ze felt the urge to play Sword and Shield again, although he thought the gemstone series was still the classic, especially its background music, which brought a strong sense of familiarity the moment it played.
"Let me see, how much longer does this Edelman Wild Boar tail need?" Chen Ze walked into the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot to check.
The color of the wild boar tail seemed to have deepened a bit more, but just a bit, Chen Ze made a rough estimate.
At the current pace, if he wanted to stew the Edelman Wild Boar tail properly, it would probably need to be kept at Quadruple Speed for about a week.
"About twenty-eight days, huh... Hastur has really done me a huge favor," Chen Ze sighed, then after adding some water and seasoning, he put the lid back on the pot.
"Betty, come in and serve the food." Chen Ze quickly made three servings of rice wrapped in an omelet, and then called Betty in.
"Manager, uh, I have a question," Betty said, leaning in mysteriously after she had served the food.
"What’s the question?" Chen Ze stretched out, yawning.
"That is, what do wild Pokémon usually eat?" Betty asked a quite profound question.
Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, to tell the truth, he hadn’t really studied what wild Pokémon typically ate.
Pokémon with trainers, like Skin God, were certainly taken care of by humans regarding their food and clothing needs.
But what about wild Pokémon? Weedles could still nibble on leaves, but did bird Pokémon like Pidgeotto feed on Weedles?
"They probably eat whatever they can eat," Chen Ze thought it best not to dwell on it, because if he did—
So sometimes I can’t find certain Pokémon because they have been eaten like this?
"Oh, I see... I thought they couldn’t eat raw meat," Betty nodded solemnly with a serious expression.
Chen Ze gazed at Betty with a look of shock. So you thought wild Pokémon, when they had nothing to do at night, all quietly gathered around a bonfire to skewer up some grill?
"Mr. Manager, I’d like to check out," Ash slumped comfortably in his chair, but thinking of Pikachu’s four servings of omelet rice, he felt his wallet shrink yet again.
"Alright, what will you be using to pay this time?" Chen Ze came out with a beaming smile, curious about what Ash intended to use for payment this time.
The last time, it was Miltank’s milk, which turned out to taste quite good; Chen Ze had been impressed. Then an empty Pokeball was given, and now, who knew what it would be.
"I’ll use this as payment for the meal, is that okay?" After hesitating for a while, Ash took something out of his bag.
Curiously, Chen Ze took it and glanced at it; it seemed to be a bottle of honey. The reason he said "seemed" was that Chen Ze had never seen honey with such a unique color.
Generally, honey was yellow, but this honey was different; it had a slight hint of red.
"This is?" Chen Ze was curious, the best way to learn was to ask.
"This is a specialty honey from our place, collected by Pokémon," Ash roughly explained.
"Good, no problem, let’s use this," Chen Ze was satisfied. He had just opened the lid and smelled it, and then he detected a very pleasant fragrance.
Carrying the fragrance of fruits, and the aroma was very rich yet not unpleasant, smelling it gave one a very comfortable feeling.
"Pikachu, let’s go back, we have to go to other cities next," Ash looked at Pikachu.
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded eagerly, then hopped onto Ash’s shoulder.
"You’re going to other cities?" Chen Ze was a bit disappointed; wouldn’t that mean they wouldn’t see each other anymore?
"Yes, I aim to become a Pokémon Master!" Ash replied with great confidence, his face beaming with vigor.
Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, Ash’s goal... If it weren’t for that darn Charizard with Water Storage, Ash could definitely have become the Champion of the Alliance, right?
But now, Ash seemed to be the real Ash from the real world, so he probably wouldn’t encounter such a ridiculous Charizard with Water Storage, right?
"Um, Ash." Chen Ze still decided to give him a heads up, what if he actually encountered it?
After all, the scriptwriter’s knife had already been picked up, so maybe there really was a Charizard with Water Storage.
"What’s up?" Ash patted Pikachu and looked at Chen Ze with curiosity.
"You know, the world of Pokémon is very large, so some Pokémon might have abilities that they shouldn’t have," Chen Ze explained hesitantly.
"Huh?" Ash was even more puzzled.
"Like, a Charizard with the Water Storage ability, this is advice for your journey," Chen Ze looked at Ash seriously.
"Okay, I’ll remember that, thank you, manager," Ash nodded earnestly. Although he thought the idea of a Charizard with Water Storage was far-fetched, Chen Ze was so serious that Ash took it to heart.
After sending off Ash, Pikachu, and Gengar, Chen Ze just sat on a chair, peacefully watching his own restaurant.
"Another guest gone..." Chen Ze sighed. Although nothing was wrong with Ash, based on Chen Ze’s knowledge, Ash going out meant he probably wouldn’t come back for several years.
However, as long as one’s culinary skills are good, one can always leave a lasting impression on the guests.
"Manager, the dishes and utensils are washed," Betty wiped her hands. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Good, we can start making dinner later, what would you like to eat?" Chen Ze looked at Betty, today he decided to treat Betty to order something special.
"Eh? Can I choose anything?" Betty looked at Chen Ze expectantly.
"I think, you should know, things like Ice Fish or Starry Sky Cake are impossible," Chen Ze rolled his eyes, that would be too lavish for an employee meal.
"Then I’ll have an eel rice bowl!" Betty quickly made her choice.
"No problem," Chen Ze nodded, eel rice bowl was indeed a nice choice.
"Um... sorry to disturb you..." a childlike voice spoke up. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, dear... little guest~" Betty walked out to greet them.
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen and glanced outside; there was a little girl with golden hair, standing cautiously at the front door of the restaurant.
"Hello, ma’am, I am Ronna Dake, what is this place? And what is a restaurant?" Ronna’s eyes were filled with confusion.
