Chapter 709 Rumors
When Heath saw such a fat Pikachu on TV for the first time, he was stunned. At first glance, Heath thought he saw Snorlax, after all, Snorlax's weight and body shape were roughly that way. But later Heath found out that it was not Snorlax, but Pikachu. However, that Pikachu was really too fat. Its trainer was a person who doted on his Pokémon very much and often provided it with unlimited delicious food. In addition, the trainer didn't like fighting very much, so Pikachu just ate and slept every day. Over time, it became like that, and it was even life-threatening.
Finally, Miss Joy first performed a series of operations to save Pikachu's life, and then began to strictly urge Pikachu to exercise and lose weight. It can be said to be a real-life version of "Learn about Swimming Fitness". After losing weight, Pikachu returned to normal, and his body became slightly more normal. There have been no similar problems since then.
Then the League brought up this example to warn trainers who are too doting on their Pokémon. Even if they like a Pokémon very much, they still have to control its diet. It is also best to allow the Pokémon to have some hobbies of their own. Battles are best as it helps control weight, and the amount of exercise is also high, so the Pokémon will not have any weight problems.
After seeing the news, Heath always felt that to some extent, raising Pokémon was like giving birth to a child and then trying to cultivate his child into a successful person. It was basically the same. Children also needed to control their weight. Moreover, the intelligence of Pokémon was also very high in a sense, smarter than ordinary pets, and psychic Pokémon could even communicate like humans.
Miss Nancy left. She walked away very quickly without saying hello to Ms. Loli and the others before leaving , but Loli and the others didn't care. After all, most of the alliance staff in the Kanto region knew Nancy's personality. She was arrogant and indifferent, and spoke very little. Strictly speaking, she was an ice beauty. So her attitude would not arouse any suspicion. If Miss Nancy suddenly became enthusiastic and cared about her well-being, perhaps Ms. Loli and the others would go over to ask.
"Ms. Loli, by the way, do you know about the rumor in Dead Leaf City recently?" While Ms. Loli came to pay the bill, Heath asked Ms. Loli curiously. Heath did not intend to ask Ms. Loli about anything else or what mission she was performing, because Heath knew that Ms. Loli would definitely not tell him, but he could ask about this matter.
"Huh? You mean the Poké Ball ghost story?" Ms. Loli was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, then looked at Heath with a smile and said, Heath nodded quickly. This is what he was talking about. He was just curious whether Ms. Loli knew about this matter. But strictly speaking, if Ms. Loli was in charge of this matter, then there would be some trouble, because that would prove that this matter was beyond the jurisdiction of Junsha and others, which was not a good thing.
"Yeah, a lot of customers have been affected today, and my restaurant's business is not good." Heath shrugged. He didn't pay attention to ghost stories and the like. In Heath's opinion, people in this world believe in ghosts and gods. Although this also makes Heath a little puzzled, after all, this world has Pokémon and legendary beasts. Instead of believing in ghosts and gods, it is better to believe in legendary beasts.
But later Heath discovered that people believed in ghosts and made up these weird stories probably just out of a sense of "having nothing to do, so they might as well find some fun for themselves", which was a kind of alternative novel and storytelling. Heath didn't care about it, but Heath had never seen such a Pokeball weird story this time, so Heath himself was a little dumbfounded.
But there didn't seem to be any problem. After all, Heath knew about rumors, especially those that sounded outrageous. When more people spread them, there would always be people who believed them, even if the rumors sounded outrageous. For example, in the water monkey incident in the previous life, when it was the most serious, it affected many places and caused panic among the people.
So it doesn’t seem strange that Vermilion Leaf City has become like this.
What's more, Heath never dared to overestimate the IQ of some people. In his previous life, it was already the 21st century, but there were still people who believed that the earth was flat, and that the photos taken by astronauts in outer space were fake. There were even people who believed that drinking disinfectant could kill viruses in the body. They were the epitome of anti-intellectualism.
"I know that, but you should ask your sister Feng about this kind of thing. Jun Shafeng and the others are already investigating, and it seems that the results are about to come out." Ms. Loli shrugged like Heath, then looked at Heath with a playful expression. At the same time, Gengar appeared behind Ms. Loli, put his hands on Ms. Loli's shoulders, and looked at Heath with an evil smile.
"And compared to those obviously fabricated rumors, I think instead of believing that Poké Balls will eat people, it's better to suspect whether there are ghost Pokémon playing a prank. What's more, if ghosts really do exist, wouldn't it be good to capture a ghost Pokémon, train it well, and then strike out hard when you see a ghost? Heath, you haven't forgotten that ghosts are extremely effective against ghost attributes, have you?" Ms. Loli looked at Heath with a smile. Heath touched his nose. That's true.
It can be said that if Kayako, Sadako or Chu Renmei dared to come to the world of Pokémon, they would not be able to cause trouble. They would be killed by passing ghost trainers in minutes. They might even be studied by Pokémon doctors like Professor Sakuragi and Professor Oak to see how these people mastered the power similar to Pokémon.
There is really no dignity at all.
After seeing off the cheerful Ms. Lori, Heath's dining car became quiet. It was past dinner time and there were not many customers. Heath even doubted whether any customers would come in the afternoon. This rumor in Vermilion Leaf City was really a big deal. He didn't know when Sister Feng and the others would be able to come up with a result of their investigation. After the results of the investigation came out, Heath felt that his dining car business should be able to return to normal.
"Well, since there are not many customers right now, I will just finish this level first." Heath rubbed his hands. He planned to get the reward for this task today.
