• Heath asked Mimikyu what it wanted to do, but Mimikyu stayed silent, so he carried it back to his food truck without pressuring it.

• Mr. Stone visited Heath’s restaurant after Steven recommended it and asked Heath to choose a meal for him.
• Heath noticed Mr. Stone preferred spicy, strongly flavored food with a soft texture, and chose to make Mapo Tofu.

• Heath looked away and back several times, noticing that the woman had moved closer each time.

• Heath reached toward the ghostly woman and discovered that she was a Gardevoir.

• Farfetch'd returned with white flowers, and Heath recognized them by their smell as Corydalis Flowers.

• Heath received a quest to make a photinia flower dish with normal flavor and texture without using Golden Finger items.

• Rayquaza ate a meteorite and told Heath she was hungry, so Heath asked what she wanted to eat.
• Heath used Hoopa's Golden Ring to look for a meteorite, while Hoopa Unbound sensed a missing ring and grew furious inside the Sealed Temple.
• Heath pulled a damaged chamber pot from the ring, and its lid struck him as purple smoke poured out.
• A tiny dark-red cat with a golden ring marking on its tail emerged from the pot and mewed angrily at Heath.

• Heath decided to keep the cat and confined it in the lounge so it would not escape.
• Rayquaza paid Heath for the meal with a clear green stone, which Heath recognized as exceptionally valuable jadeite.
• Heath received a Miniature Speed Enhancement Capsule for serving Rayquaza and swallowed it.

Heath and Nami served an overwhelming crowd at the Technology Expo until the event closed, leaving Heath and his Pokémon exhausted. As Heath struggled to stay awake, Cynthia and Steven arrived, surprising Nami.
