"Boss Heath, could I have the usual?" As Heath busied himself serving customers, he heard old Mr. Ma Zhide's voice.
Old Mr. Ma Zhide wore very plain clothes today, though he still had long sleeves on. Heath knew something about the reason for that.
Old Mr. Ma Zhide had once been a League Looker and had fought countless members of criminal organizations. Those people paid no attention to rules when they fought. One-on-one battles, with the next combatant taking over only after the first lost? Nothing of the sort existed. They ganged up on their opponents whenever they could, and when they couldn't, they found ways to launch sneak attacks.
Attacking the Trainer directly was a very effective way to fight, and old Mr. Ma Zhide had paid a heavy price for it. His body was covered in scars, so he wore long sleeves most of the time to avoid frightening children.
"Of course, Grandpa Ma Zhide. I'll make it for you right away. Sorry for the trouble, but please wait here a moment." Heath nodded with a smile, then turned around and began preparing the food old Mr. Ma Zhide wanted.
While cooking, however, Heath thought of something else: his Reincarnation Eyes quest. It required him to serve three Ghost Pokémon customers to receive a mysterious reward. So far, his hopes of completing the Reincarnation Eyes quest still rested on old Mr. Ma Zhide. After all, a ghost Charizard always followed the old man around, and Heath had inadvertently served a Ghost Pokémon last time. He just didn't know whether old Mr. Ma Zhide's visit today would let him complete the quest.
Still, judging by his lousy Golden Finger, Heath felt a quest like this probably wouldn't count the same customer twice. After all, it only required three customers.
