Chapter 328: Little Things in the Woods
"This satisfaction is enough..." Heath returned to the dining car and opened his food picture book to take a look. After this period of entertainment, Heath's satisfaction has accumulated to the level that he can exchange it for purple crabs. However, Heath hesitated and still did not exchange it for purple crabs.
Heath had learned before that the people in Pallet Town basically didn't know about rare ingredients like purple crabs and lava eels. For them, their favorite food was still wild delicacies, so it was more acceptable to use Pallet Town's local wild mushrooms to make this high-priced food.
Heath had to explain the use of those precious ingredients, and he also planned to accumulate his own satisfaction. After all, no one knew when the next precious ingredient would arrive, and what the conditions for its exchange would be, so it was very important to have points reserves.
Thinking of this, Heath drove the food truck back to the dormitory area of the Junshas. As soon as Heath came back, he saw some Junshas busy on the farm. Heath thought of his own mobile farm, but as for what to plant specifically, Heath had not yet decided, and Heath did not have any seeds on hand.
"I remember that seeds were given in the anime , right? No, it seems that the blue fat man took them out himself." Heath opened his portable farm and took a look. There was black soil, farm tools, and irrigation facilities in it. I don't know how they managed to condense such a large piece of land into such a small grid.
But there were indeed no seeds. Without seeds, there was no way to farm. Heath had to buy seeds himself, but what seeds to buy was also a problem. Heath was mainly considering tomato seeds.
Other ingredients are relatively easy to get, but tomatoes, or those tomatoes that have not been specially modified and are soft, sweet and sour, are not easy to buy. In the Kanto Alliance, the most common tomatoes are those that have been modified for easy transportation and storage. Those tomatoes are not bad, but it is also a fact that the skin is hard and the sweetness and sourness are not high. A qualified chef has very high requirements for ingredients.
So if Heath could grow those sweet and sour tomatoes himself, it would provide Heath with better options for his food reserves.
"So it turns out that for a chef, the best side job is still being a farmer." Heath yawned, walked slowly into the cafeteria, and began to prepare meals for Junsha and the others that they wanted to eat in the evening. For dinner today, Heath chose ordinary home-cooked dishes, mapo tofu, minced pork with leeks, stir-fried lotus root, and a pot of winter melon and pork ribs soup. In addition to these, there were actually some beef skewers and so on, but Heath left all these barbecues to the Fire Dinosaur.
After Junsha and the others finished their sumptuous dinner, Heath returned to his dining car. He planned to study the menu and also start preparing to deal with the matters concerning the portable farm. After all, these things took time. The portable farm was simple, but he didn't know how long it would take to mature. Black soil was already very good soil, basically the best one.
"Meow!" A terrified sound was heard, and the next second Heath saw Mimikyu coming in again from outside, shivering and huddled at Heath's feet. Heath looked at Mimikyu strangely.
"Is that scary guy you mentioned here again?" Heath asked softly while looking at Mimikyu. Mimikyu nodded tremblingly. Pokémon can understand human words, which proves that Pokémon have been living with humans for a long time. If it is a wild Pokémon that has just seen humans, it will not understand at all and can only judge whether a person is good or not to itself from the attitude and tone.
Heath became interested. Heath knew that Mimikyu was very timid, so in the morning Heath just treated yesterday's incident as an accident, an accident in which a wild Pokémon accidentally scared the timid Mimikyu. However, what surprised Heath even more was that this guy appeared again. This proved that the other party was either active nearby, or he really had some strange ideas about Mimikyu. As for whether this was good or bad, Heath was not sure for the time being. He wanted to go down and see the identity of the wild Pokémon.
Heath got off the dining car and looked around. It was already dark, and Heath could only see some things in the light or where there was light. As for the woods in the distance, it was pitch black, and Heath could hardly see what was inside even with squinting his eyes.
"Where is it?" Heath asked, looking back at Mimikyu who was huddled in the dining car. Mimikyu was trembling, but still tried hard to point in a direction with Pikachu's tail. Heath took a look and saw that it was the grove, the dark grove.
Heath hesitated for a moment, but still brought Zorroar, Farfetch'd, and Charmeleon with him. Snorlax was too big, and the densely packed woods were not suitable for Snorlax to enter.
I have to say that it is really important to carry a fire-attribute Pokémon with you. With Charmeleon by his side, Heath didn't even need a flashlight. But just in case , Heath still brought the Electric Dragon Lantern given to him by Sister Feng. The illumination of this thing is incredible.
"There's nothing here." Heath used the Fire Dinosaur's tail to look at the forest in front of him. It was quiet, no different from any other forest.
Heath hesitated. The electric dragon lantern was very useful, but its shortcomings were also very obvious. It was too lethal. Heath felt like he was holding a small sun when driving it. However, if the Charmeleon went in, it might accidentally touch fallen leaves or something. If a fire was caused, Heath might not be able to afford the compensation even if he sold it.
So Heath turned on the flashlight, and the next second a strong light pierced the darkness. Heath subconsciously squinted his eyes, and the woods in front of him were illuminated. Then a Pokémon that could not adapt to the sudden strong light also entered Heath's sight.
A Pokémon was standing alone, with a gray body and eyes that seemed to be burning with flames . Heath was a little confused. What kind of Pokémon was this?
After such a long time of traveling through time, Heath's memory of Pokémon has become increasingly vague. Apart from a plot notebook he had just traveled through, Heath basically only remembered some special Pokémon, or Pokémon that Heath had used. However, Heath had never seen this Pokémon before.
The other party's head was also very unique, and it seemed to have three rolls. Heath silently took out his food identifier .
It doesn’t matter. Heath has the golden finger anyway, and if it doesn’t work, you can ask Professor Oak.
