Chapter 1: Hiss and a Whole New World
"Heath, do you have that...something called a pancake? Give me one." The bustling Changqing City was already shrouded in the evening sunlight, but Heath, who was about to close his business for the day, still happily entertained the guests in front of him.
"Brother Yaning, are you working overtime today too?" Heath skillfully spread the pancake on the iron plate while chatting with Yaning with a smile.
"Hey, isn't it time for those rich young men to receive their initial Pokémon? So I've been busy dealing with these things recently and haven't even had time to eat dinner." Yaning rubbed his hands and let out a breath.
Heath looked at the Poké Ball on Yaning's waist with envy. This was the most attractive thing in this world. Unfortunately, when he thought of his poor wallet, Heath's eyes dimmed a little.
"Brother Yaning, your pancake is worth twelve Alliance coins!" Heath handed the hot pancake to Yaning, then took the banknotes and carefully put them into his pocket.
Seeing Yaning walking away while breathing heavily and eating a pancake, Heath closed the stall. Otherwise, it would be bad if Miss Junsha found out.
Pushing his stall cart, Heath looked at the people and Pokémon of various forms passing by on the roadside and sighed.
Heath is a time traveler. Just like in those cliché novels, Heath came to this strange world after waking up from a sleep. The good news is that Heath became younger after traveling through time, and his physical age returned to that of thirteen years old. The bad news is that Heath is a poor orphan.
His parents died in a car accident, leaving behind nothing but a huge debt, so young Heath had to start working in order to repay his parents' debt.
Fortunately, Heath was a pretty good chef in his previous life, so after traveling through time, he has his own way to survive. Relying on his tragic life experience and pretty good looks, Heath got the help of a kind-hearted Miss Junsha.
After satisfying Miss Jun Shafeng with his pancakes, Heath opened a small stall selling pancakes. Now four years have passed.
"Counting the money I earned ... it should be enough to pay off my parents' debt, and there is still a hundred Alliance Coins left... I can buy a simplest Poké Ball." Heath looked at his empty wallet and sighed.
Heath also wants to become a Pokémon trainer. After all, he has traveled to the world of Pokémon, and who doesn’t want to live such a life?
However, those initial Pokémon, which often cost thousands or even tens of thousands, were really beyond what Heath could bear. Moreover, he was burdened with debts, so Heath could only bury this wish in the deepest part of his heart.
"Scallions!" A familiar voice. Heath subconsciously lifted the pot and used it to cover the noodles and other ingredients on his stall cart, then looked to the side.
Then, a Large Onion Duck holding a green onion and looking at him with bright eyes came into Heath's sight.
"Flaty Duck, do you want to get something for free again today?" Heath looked at the Flaty Duck in front of him, feeling a little amused.
In the past four years, apart from becoming more mature, Heath's biggest gain was meeting a Pokémon that came with its own condiments, Farfetch'd.
Farfetch'd is a Pokémon whose misery can be described as tragic in the Pokémon world. Farfetch'd was almost eaten to extinction at one point because of its extremely delicious meat and the green onions it carries with it, which are also excellent ingredients. The meat of Farfetch'd is a top-notch delicacy.
Fortunately, the Quartz Alliance has enacted regulations to protect the Greater Onion Duck, but even so, it is very difficult to encounter a wild Greater Onion Duck.
During his four years of stall business, Heath met a Farfetch'd duck, which was smart and intelligent, but very greedy. Fortunately, Heath later found a way to communicate with the Farfetch'd duck, so now they get along quite well.
"Big~ Onion~" Onion Duck happily waved the onion in his hand. This location is a very remote place in Changqing City. Usually only Miss Junsha would pass by here, so Onion Duck was not worried about being seen by others .
"You've already gotten ten sets of my Jianbing Guozi for free. Every time you say you'll definitely give me your scallions next time, definitely next time. If I don't give me your scallions this time, don't even think about eating them." Heath looked at the Onion Duck in front of him with empty eyes.
Not all Pokémon are naive. The Farfetch'd in front of us is a smart one. It has learned how to get things for free and once even tried to fool Seath with an ordinary onion.
"Scallion!" The Onion Duck looked at the onion in his hand reluctantly. This onion was his treasure.
However, seeing Heath's unfriendly eyes, Farfetch'd looked at the stall in front of Heath and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After eating the pancake made by Heath once, Farfetch'd found that he really couldn't forget the taste.
"Scallions..." With a look of grief and indignation, Onion Duck put the onions in his hand on Heath's stall cart, and Heath put them away with satisfaction.
The green onion in Onion Duck's hand is an excellent ingredient. According to the eyes of chef Heath, this green onion is definitely the sports car among green onions, with excellent taste and quality.
After getting the green onions, Heath set up a stall on the road nearby and started making the pancakes that Onion Duck wanted to eat.
Soon, Heath brought a hot pancake to Onion Duck. Onion Duck happily took it, blew on it skillfully, and then put it into his mouth.
Heath tilted his chin as he looked at the Onion Duck whose tail was wagging happily, and smiled. This Onion Duck was really special. It could even wag its tail like a dog.
"Pokemon is so great..." Heath touched his wallet. The feeling of being debt-free made him very comfortable, and the dream buried in his heart seemed to be dig out.
But then Heath was suddenly stunned. There are three ways to obtain the initial Pokémon. The first is to buy it from the alliance, the second is to be given by others, and the third is to obtain it by yourself.
Heath didn't want to buy it, it was too expensive, but as a gift...
Heath felt that other people would not be so generous, so what about getting it himself?
"Flaty Ducky, do you want to be my Pokémon?" Heath looked at the Farfetch'd in front of him and asked cautiously.
"?" The Farfetch'd turned his head in confusion, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
"Would you like to be my Pokémon?" Heath asked again.
Farfetch'd hesitated and shook his head.
“As many pancakes as you want! And I still have a lot of delicious food that I haven’t taken out yet!” Heath increased the stakes.
The Farfetch'd Ducky was stunned for a moment, then flapped its wing on Heath's hand and nodded seriously.
