Chapter 524: Fortune Telling?
"Sir, do you want a fortune-teller?" Just as Heath was busy entertaining guests and planning to continue his research on his lettuce during the break today, a man wearing a plaid shirt and a pair of thick glasses stood in front of Heath and asked seriously.
"Ah?" Heath was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't expect that while he was busy grilling here at night, he would actually meet a master. This made Heath a little amused and helpless.
"Do you want to have your fortune told?" the man asked again seriously.
Heath put the roasted eggplant in his hand on a plate, and asked Zoroark to take it over. Then he took a serious look at the man in front of him.
Thick lenses, thin body, and bright eyes, but the thick dark circles under his eyes make him look like a middle-aged internet addict who has been staying up late for a long time.
"I don't tell fortunes, sorry." Heath sternly rejected the other party. He couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, otherwise the other party would definitely take advantage of him. This was the experience Heath summed up after dealing with many vendors.
Just like those salesmen selling goods on the roadside, if you don't reject them clearly at the first time, they may even come up to you and provide you with a set of services, and then ask you if you want to buy their products. Heath was once made to kneel down on one knee in the street to have his shoes polished. Heath was stunned. The weird looks from the people around him made him want to kick them. It can only be said that these people are really amazing. Being completely shameless is also an amazing thing in a way.
"...My fortune telling is very accurate. You will definitely have bad luck today." The man stood there and looked at Heath for a while, then left after saying a word. Heath's mouth twitched. If he was not still entertaining guests and Heath had a good temper, Heath would have wanted to hit someone.
This incident was just a minor episode, and Heath didn't care about it after the other party left. Heath had seen this kind of thing quite often. After all, when he went to temples or dojo in the past, he would often encounter such people. Later, there were fewer such people.
"Trainer, who just said he wanted to tell your fortune?" Zoroark came over curiously.
"Well, he said he wanted to tell my fortune, and that I would definitely be unlucky today." Heath shrugged helplessly. He didn't know what to say. This was just like some street scammers in the past. They would start by saying things like "You will definitely have a bloody disaster today" to attract attention, and then continue to fool people to finally get their money.
What's more, Heath doesn't think that fortune-telling really exists in this world. If fortune-telling is accurate, then people probably wouldn't have to live such a hard life. Besides, the Alliance is not just there to do nothing. By then, the struggle between the Alliance and the dark organization may become mysterious.
Today, the league asked a fortune teller to calculate who will be the leader of Team Rocket, and then Mr. Sakaki kept taking actions to counter other people's fortune telling. This is simply outrageous.
People in this world don't mind enhancing their own strength. If fortune-telling and divination were really useful, they would have become official power long ago. Although there are people with super powers in this world, there are still very few who can rely on their super powers to do things like predicting the future.
So Heath has seen a lot of tricks like this , where people come to your door and tell you that you will have a bloody disaster today. However, the scammers have also kept up with the times and started to promote how to get rich quickly, how to change your luck, and how to prevent Mercury retrograde.
This kind of trick might have been useful in the past, but now it is a pure joke. Not to mention making people believe you and give you money, you are lucky if you don't get beaten up by others.
It would be better to let these people join the Flying Spaghetti God Cult. After all, this is more real and reliable than fortune-telling and divination.
So Heath didn't take the man's matter seriously and continued to entertain his guests.
Business is pretty good today. Heath has been busy the whole time. And the most important thing is that the weather is very good today. It didn't rain like yesterday, so Heath can entertain guests smoothly.
Heath has also put away his awnings. Autumn is not the rainy season in Kanto, so he will not need to use them too often. But when spring and summer come, it will not be strange to have heavy rain every three days.
"Heath, do you have porridge?" Just as Heath was busy entertaining the guests, he heard Miss Saya's voice.
"Good evening, Miss Saya. Of course there is porridge, but..." Heath put the skewers in his hand on the plate, and then looked at Miss Saya.
But when Heath took a closer look, he saw a coyote following Miss Saya. This should be the sick coyote that he had seen before, right?
"It got better so quickly?" Heath was a little surprised. Although he knew that the medical standards in the Pokémon world were very high, it was still outrageous that a skin disease that had always been known as a stubborn disease could get better so quickly today.
"This little guy has a good physique. I once thought about whether to take him in, but he still plans to stay here ." Miss Saya smiled and touched the coyote beside her. Some guests around also smiled happily after seeing the coyote. Heath smiled.
If it is an ordinary Pokémon, the stray Pokémon sent to the Pokémon Center will generally be released back into the wild after recovery and become wild Pokémon. This is why many stray Pokémon are unwilling to seek help when they are sick. Unless they have no choice, they will live their lives .
Although the reasons for wandering Pokémon are different, these little guys stay in one place for various reasons and become resident Pokémon in these areas . This is also a very normal thing, but not many can become city Pokémon.
You need to have a friendly personality, a very smart mind, and of course some luck and good looks, otherwise it is not that easy to become a city Pokémon.
"Anything for Xiao Jin?" Heath asked curiously. Saya nodded immediately. She still wanted grilled skewers and fried noodles. Only the coyote had to eat something light because he was still taking medicine.
Heath nodded, then turned around and began to prepare food for the coyote and Miss Saya.
