Chapter 489: Set off! Ziyuan Town!
Most of the Kanto region is plains, so many of the highways in the Kanto region are relatively straight. Heath just checked that if he chooses to take the highway directly from Pewter City, he can reach Lavender Town as early as around 2 pm that day. Because of the existence of the Pokémon Tower, Lavender Town is actually the largest and most populous town among the many towns in Kanto. Heath even heard that the Alliance plans to upgrade Lavender Town to Lavender City.
Although this seems a little unbelievable, if you think about it carefully, the status of Lavender Town is not that difficult to understand. After all, the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town is very famous in the entire Kanto region, and the people in the Kanto region also believe that the existence of the Pokémon Tower will allow the souls of the Pokémon buried there to rest in peace, and in the future those Pokémon will accompany their trainers in another way.
So Lavender Town is actually very popular. Many trainers who have lost their Pokémon will choose to live in Lavender Town to accompany their deceased companions.
At the beginning, Ziyuan Town was just a small town. As more and more people settled there, Ziyuan Town gradually developed into a place much larger than a small town, almost reaching the scale of a city.
"Lavender Town..." Heath's expression was a little complicated. He thought of Grandpa Ma Zhide in Evergreen City. After Grandpa Ma Zhide's Charizard died, he was buried in the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. The old man who once had an extremely strong body also became hunchbacked. Heath hadn't seen Grandpa Ma Zhide for a long time.
Thinking about it now, Heath really missed the old man who often came to buy food with his Charizard. He wondered if Grandpa Ma Zhide was doing better now.
After entertaining the afternoon guests, Heath said goodbye to Jun Shajing, bought some ingredients, and then set out for Ziyuan Town.
"By the way, Heath, do you remember Miss Kazumi whom you sent to the Pokémon Center?" After Heath set up the automatic driving, he remembered what Jun Shajing had said before. Heath nodded at that time. After all, it was Heath who sent Kazumi there, and it was this morning. Heath's memory was not so bad that he could not even remember such things.
"The current medical examination report of Miss He Mei is out. She has been poisoned. The toxin is very dangerous. However, after our investigation, this toxin seems to be a toxin commonly used by Team Rocket. You have to be careful. Fortunately, she didn't eat you..." Jun Shajing spoke to Heath very seriously at the time, but Heath was stunned for a moment. So it means that He Mei might have been poisoned by Team Rocket?
Heath naturally knew what Jun Shajing meant. He probably meant that it was a good thing that Hemei didn't fall down after eating Heath's food, otherwise it would definitely have a certain impact on Heath's food truck. Sometimes people are just so unique that even if there is an official explanation, people still tend to think too much.
"Team Rocket..." Heath scratched his head. Although Sakaki was very charismatic, he had to admit that Team Rocket was indeed a dark organization.
However, Kazumi is also a senior officer of the water fleet. After being beaten by the Rocket Team, Heath just felt that it was a dog-eat-dog situation.
Heath didn't hesitate for too long. Now his food truck was on the highway. The highway in the Pokémon world was free of charge because the cost of building the highway had been recovered, so naturally there was no need to pay any more tolls. This was a good thing and saved a lot of effort.
Heath yawned and returned to his lounge. The highway now went straight all the way without any turns. It was not like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in his previous life, where driving would make people feel scared.
Heath couldn't help sweating in his palms when he thought of those roads that were almost built on the edge of cliffs. He once drove to a place that was said to be a place that one must visit once in a lifetime. After entering the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, some roads were relatively good, but some roads really made people feel like they were driving on the edge of a cliff at any time, as if the car would fall off with a twist of the steering wheel. And that was not the most dangerous road. The most dangerous road was the one where cars couldn't go on and only motorcycles could be used. Sometimes, when turning, half of the front wheel of the motorcycle might be on the edge of the cliff.
But the locals were very used to it, and they rode their motorcycles at such a fast speed that Heath, who was sitting at the back, felt his legs go weak. It was really scary.
Moreover, on some roads, if you are driving a large truck with a relatively high driving position, you cannot see the railings and can only see the surrounding valleys, as if you are driving on the edge of a cliff. This is very unfriendly to drivers who are afraid of heights.
When Heath was taking the driver's license test in Changqing City, he heard that in some areas, specific routes required a separate test for driving on dangerous roads to ensure that there were no problems such as acrophobia before being allowed to drive on the road. Heath was very curious about what kind of routes would have such stringent requirements.
Fortunately, most of the Kanto region is plains, so you don’t have to worry about cliffs or anything like that when driving.
"Trainer, are you going to sleep?" Zoroark blinked his big eyes and asked Heath . Heath yawned and nodded. There was nothing to do now. Unless there was a traffic jam on the highway, Heath would not be able to find anything to do. It would be better to take a nap. When he woke up, he would probably reach Lavender Town.
"What should we do if we can't sleep?" Zoroark looked at Heath and asked. Heath was stunned for a moment. Come to think of it, these little guys just woke up in the afternoon. It would be a bit difficult for them to sleep until tomorrow.
"Then let's go play games." Heath yawned. Anyway, the soundproofing of the lounge was very good. Even if his Pokémon was dancing next door all night, Heath could still sleep soundly. It must be said that the rewards given by the golden finger were good.
"But those games are boring... and I haven't bought any new games recently..." Zoroark said in a coquettish voice.
Histon paused, then looked at Zoroark with a strange expression. He now understood what Zoroark meant. This guy was probably thinking of asking him for money to buy new games to play.
"Let me introduce you to a new game..." Heath yawned and walked out with Zoroark. He looked at the Pokémon that were still awake and counted them. Well, three.
Snorlax has fallen asleep. For Snorlax, sleeping for seventy-two hours is not a problem.
Three Pokémon, just right.
So Heath took out a deck of cards.
"The name of this game is Fight the Landlord..." Heath explained slowly.
