"Actually, there isn't any clear-cut rule saying you can't eat fruit and seafood together. If you're interested in that, you could ask Professor Oak." Heath shrugged. He really didn't know much about the subject. Although he had heard some claims about foods clashing with one another, he didn't particularly believe them. Still, he avoided those combinations a little when eating himself. After all, better to believe there might be something to it than dismiss it outright.

The process didn't go particularly smoothly, though. Only after trying it did Heath discover a problem: the Volcanic Persimmon was exceptionally soft. In particular, when he cut an opening in the top, the flesh would spill out almost as soon as he finished cutting, which caused him a little trouble.
But the problem wasn't all that difficult for Heath to solve. He simply brought the same care he used when making Wensi Tofu to this jellyfish dish, and the problem was quickly resolved. After all, work that tested his patience and required a little technique really wasn't much of an issue for him.
