Chapter 81: Food Street in the Pokémon World
Changqing City is a large city with almost all facilities, including commercial districts, residential areas, etc. Its layout is similar to that of an ordinary city.
However, perhaps because of his profession, Heath is most familiar with places like vegetable markets and food districts. It has to be said that the food in the Pokémon world is really interesting.
"Trainer, what ?" Zoroa, who was originally depressed and whispering to Farfetch'd, suddenly became excited. She curiously lay on top of Heath's head and asked.
"It's over there, a block next to Mr. Sakaki's gym. There are food stalls over there, it's quite interesting." Heath pointed in a direction skillfully. This time he parked his car near the Evergreen City Gym.
So it is easy to go to the food district now and it doesn’t take too long to walk.
Charmander didn't seem to be that interested in the food district. It was twisting its head. Heath remembered that this was a method of relaxing muscles taught by Mr. Fujiyama. Generally, people can stretch after exercising.
The Farfetch'd duck followed Heath obediently, flying and looking at the things around it. The Farfetch'd duck seemed to be very curious about everything human. Heath noticed that when the Farfetch'd duck looked towards the restaurant, its expression became more excited.
"Do you want to open a restaurant? Farfetch'd." Heath looked at Farfetch'd and touched its feathers with a smile.
"Congee~" The Onion Duck nodded happily. Heath was a little amused. He didn't expect that a Onion Duck would think of opening a restaurant. He really didn't know what to say.
Heath thought that maybe when Farfetch'n'Fat Duck's cooking skills improved, Heath could let Farfetch'n open a restaurant called Farfetch'n'Fat Duck Restaurant, with Farfetch'n'Fat Duck as the chef. It was quite interesting to think about it, and it might even provide new employment opportunities for Pokémon.
Soon Heath brought his Pokémon to the food street in Evergreen City. As soon as he entered, Heath saw a bustling crowd and various small shops on the side. Among them, the one that attracted Heath's attention the most was the Sweet Bamboo Juice Shop on the side.
"What Pokémon is that? It smells so good." Zoroark lay on top of Heath's head, looking at the shop curiously.
"SweetBob, a Pokémon that's a little stupid, but smells very nice." Heath nodded in agreement. Although he knew from looking at the illustrated book that SweetBob was a very fragrant Pokémon, now that he smelled it, the feeling was different.
The scent emitted by a Sweet Bamboo is like a mixture of dozens of fruits, which makes people feel salivating. No wonder Sweet Bamboo is rarely seen in the wild of Alola. After all, this Pokémon is too fragrant.
Heath walked into the Sweet Bamboo Juice Shop. The owner was a sweet and beautiful queen. She glanced at Heath with her beautiful eyes and then pointed at the sign on the table.
[Sweet Bamboo Juice: 20 Alliance Coins per cup 3/30], Heath breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was lucky today and there was still sweet bamboo juice.
Heath took out sixty Alliance coins with a painful heart and bought all three glasses of juice. Then Heath got three glasses of iced juice, which exuded a pleasant aroma.
"How is this made? It tastes so good." Soraya took a sip and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. The taste was just right, sweet and delicious, and refreshing. In the hot Evergreen City, it felt like drinking an iced drink.
"It's made with sweet bamboo... juice mixed with water." Heath glanced at the Sweet Bamboo Juice Shop. The door was closed. It would only reopen when the sweet bamboos secreted enough juice.
Heath did not say that Pokémon juice was made by diluting Pokémon's sweat with water. After all, drinking Pokémon's sweat always feels weird, so calling it juice would make it easier for people to accept.
In Evergreen City, Pokémon live in harmony with people, so some shop owners are Pokémon. They can't speak human language, but they can communicate in words, which is also quite magical.
There are also many Pokémon like Tianleng Meihou who bring their own tribe out to start a business and make a living. The employees in the power plant are basically electric Pokémon.
The alliance also strongly encourages such things, and Heath is no longer surprised.
Heath looked at the three Pokémon drinking juice from cups, and smiled as he took a can of iced Bulbasaur Sprite from the vending machine nearby. This was a product of the Charizard Cola Group.
"Look, look ~ A new store from the Galar region! Frosty the Cream Ice Cream Shop officially opens today!" Just as Heath was walking around the food court, he heard a shout.
Heath looked over curiously in the direction of the sound and saw an alliance staff member waving a flag enthusiastically. Behind him was a huge ice cream shop with a pattern of a Frosty the Frost on top.
The corners of Heath's mouth twitched. Thanks to the almighty aviation that connected the entire world, Heath never expected that he would be able to see the Pokémon, Frostmilax, from the Galar region in the Kanto region.
"Trainer, what kind of Pokémon is Frosty?" Zoroark had already finished drinking the sweet bamboo juice and asked excitedly.
Heath glanced at Charmander and Farfetch'd who were also looking forward to the event, then touched his wallet with heartache. It seemed that he would have to spend a lot of money today.
"What kind of Pokémon is Frosty the Frost..." Heath repeated Zoroark's question. He really didn't expect to see Frosty the Frost here.
"That's a very powerful Pokémon. Its entire body is made of cream, and it has many forms. It is divided into as many as sixty-three types based on the characteristics of different regions." A strange voice, Heath looked back and saw a familiar person.
"Are you Professor Oak?" Heath was a little surprised. Although this face was a little different from the one in the animation, it looked very similar.
"Well, I am Professor Oak. Do you know me?" Professor Oak looked at Heath with a smile.
"I've seen your introduction on TV." Heath scratched his head, feeling a little excited.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange. After all, there are buses running between Evergreen City and Pallet Town, and a bus trip only takes two or three hours. People from Pallet Town can often be seen in Evergreen City.
Some come to do business, some to travel, some to challenge a gym, and some to eat delicious food, but Professor Oak may be here to exchange and study at the Evergreen City Research Institute.
"Frosty Milk Fairy's cream is really great, don't miss it if you have the chance." Professor Oak said with a smile.
Heath nodded. He also wanted to try what Frosty the Cream flavored like.
