Chapter Summaries

Heath served Mr. Stone Mapo Tofu and Chongqing Spicy Chicken, earning his approval and a mysterious elixir. He then spoke with Mimikyu about its loneliness and whether it wanted to find a new Trainer, but remained unsure how to help it.

• Heath brought Mr. Stone Mapo Tofu and Chongqing Spicy Chicken, which Stone found perfectly suited to his tastes.
• Heath received a One-Percent Inspiration Elixir for serving Stone and put the tiny bottle away for later.
• Heath found Mimikyu crawling into the trash can and pulled it out.
• Heath asked Mimikyu whether it wanted to return to the wild and meet a suitable Trainer.
• Mimikyu nodded when Heath suggested it had stayed away from Kate because it did not want to cause him trouble.
• Heath wondered what to do for Mimikyu.

After serving Mr. Stone a meal he loved, Heath discovered that Mimikyu had vanished and left its filthy, torn disguise behind. He washed and mended the disguise, hoping Mimikyu might return before he left the Technology Expo.

• Mr. Stone praised Heath’s cooking, decided to visit the restaurant again, and gave him a generous twelve-thousand-League-Coin tip.

• Heath searched around the food truck with Zorua but found no trace of Mimikyu.
• Heath washed the disguise in three basins of water and began mending its torn cloth.
• Zorua questioned Heath about sewing, and Heath explained that he had learned to mend clothes when he was poor.

Heath met Suicune, who had come to ask whether he was hiring a server, then encountered a mysterious woman in red after the Food Truck’s lights went out. The woman kept moving closer whenever Heath looked away, and he became excited by the strange occurrence.

• Heath finished repairing Mimikyu’s disguise and went to check the Food Truck for customers.

• The Food Truck’s lights went out, and Heath spotted a pale woman in red standing at the entrance.
• Heath looked away and back several times, noticing that the woman had moved closer each time.

Heath discovered that the ghostly woman in his food truck was a Gardevoir who had been playing a prank. After Gardevoir teleported him to a beach and startled him with a fake severed hand, Heath wondered whether she simply loved pranks.

• Heath reached toward the ghostly woman and discovered that she was a Gardevoir.
• An angry woman entered the food truck, and Gardevoir teleported Heath and herself to a beach before Heath could let go.

• Gardevoir offered Heath a hand, made it appear to break off, and laughed at his reaction.
• Heath wondered whether Gardevoir had a habit of playing pranks.

Heath encountered Diantha’s Gardevoir on a secluded beach near Mossdeep City and refused to let it teleport him back because of the dizziness. When a gigantic Wailord rose from the sea and sent a huge wave toward them, Gardevoir teleported Heath to his food truck, where he realized the Pokémon was far larger than a normal Wailord.

• Heath recognized Gardevoir as the Pokémon that would become Diantha’s Champion partner and suspected Diantha had not yet obtained a Key Stone.
• Heath concluded that the beach was a protected area near Mossdeep City and guessed that a nearby cave was Shoal Cave.
• Gardevoir offered to teleport Heath back, but Heath declined because the trip would make him dizzy.
• Gardevoir blocked Heath as a gigantic creature passed beneath the water, then teleported him away from the enormous wave it created.
• Back in his food truck, Heath learned from Gardevoir that the creature was a Wailord and suspected it was mutated or unusually gifted.

• Diantha sat down and ordered a serving, so Heath went to the kitchen to make a chiffon cake.
• Heath chose an Oran Berry to give the plain chiffon cake a richer flavor.

• Heath baked fragrant Egg Cakes with milk and honey and served them with Chiffon Cakes to Diantha.
• Diantha enjoyed the desserts, and Heath received An Actor's Self-Cultivation as a reward for serving her.

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

Heath tried to make an edible dish from photinia flowers to complete a Golden Finger quest, eventually developing a flower-cake recipe that still needed refinement. After losing track of time, he stopped to make dinner for his hungry Pokémon.

• Heath received a quest to make a photinia flower dish with normal flavor and texture without using Golden Finger items.
• Heath tried washing the flowers and masking their scent with strong seasonings, but the results were inedible.
• Heath threw away the failed batch and experimented with ordinary flower petals to recreate the flavor of flower cakes.
• Zorua interrupted Heath's work, and Heath realized it was already seven thirty and his Pokémon were hungry.
• Heath decided to make red-braised pork with fried tofu, di san xian, and napa cabbage soup for dinner.

Zorua led Heath’s Pokémon on a nighttime revenge operation against the strong figure who had taken Heath away, while Heath slept through it. The next morning, Heath found all his Pokémon exhausted and asleep, then left them to rest as he prepared to shop for the Technology Expo.

• Heath found Zorua, Farfetch'd, Charmeleon, and Snorlax deeply asleep and suspected they had been up to something during the night.
• Heath tucked Zorua into bed and went to wash up before shopping for ingredients in Mossdeep City.

Heath prepared to serve fried rice as his signature dish and checked on the Chinese scallions he had pickled. After buying ingredients at a Mossdeep City market, he returned to find Rayquaza sitting in his food truck.

• Heath returned to his food truck and found Rayquaza sitting inside.

Heath reached into Hoopa's Golden Ring to find Rayquaza a meteorite, but pulled out a damaged pot containing a mysterious dark-red kitten. The kitten appeared on Heath's counter, leaving him baffled as Rayquaza watched it with curiosity.

• 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 used his Ingredient Identifier on the dark red cat, which described it as a brutal creature trapped by a mysterious power but could not identify its species.
• 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 tested his slight speed increase, then prepared ingredients and advertised the food truck’s fried rice and shaved ice.
• Nami arrived, ordered fried rice, and left the choice of ingredients and flavor to Heath.
• Nami gave Heath a new smartphone from a Unova Region company as payment for the meal.
• Heath used Dialga’s Pressure Cooker to chill pineapple quickly, then mixed it into fried rice for Nami.

• Heath, Farfetch'd, and Snorlax worked without a break until the expo closed, then collapsed from exhaustion.
• Nami explained that the expo's rarity and giveaways had drawn the huge crowd, and she stopped Heath from falling asleep on the floor.
• Heath wondered why his Golden Finger had not given him any customer-service rewards despite his rising satisfaction rating.
• Cynthia and Steven arrived and greeted Heath, leaving Nami stunned to see the two Champions there.

• Cynthia questioned Steven about his battling reputation, and Steven tried to redirect her attention to Diantha.

• Cynthia suspected that a Pokémon capable of transforming into other people had caused the pranks, but Steven said their investigation had failed.
• Heath served Cynthia fried rice and Steven red-braised pork with fried tofu and rice.

Heath served Cynthia and Steven Red-Braised Pork with Fried Tofu, then chose a combined mystery reward and received Yveltal's statue, which could protect an area from unauthorized entry and observation. After setting its coverage and going to sleep, he unknowingly knocked a strange dark-red kitten with Hoopa-like rings in its eyes off his bed.

• Heath chose reward option B to combine the day's customer rewards into one mystery reward.
• Heath received Yveltal's statue and planned to use it to protect the kitchen and lounge areas.
• Cynthia and Steven left, and Heath set the statue's coverage before going to sleep.
• A dark-red kitten with a golden ring in its eyes cried beside Heath's pillow, and Heath unconsciously swiped it off the bed.

Hoopa woke as a powerless kitten after its attempt to escape its seal went wrong, while Heath discovered strange Unown in his food truck and learned that Zorua had secretly evolved into Zoroark.

• Hoopa lamented its kitten form, lost powers, and inability to escape its unfamiliar surroundings.
• Heath woke with Hoopa on his face and found Unown appearing around Snorlax in the food truck.
• Heath suspected that the Unown might have appeared because of the statue he had acquired the previous day.
• Heath noticed that Zorua felt much heavier than usual and confronted her about it.
• Zorua revealed that she had evolved into Zoroark while secretly pretending to remain small and weak.

• Heath hired Zoroark as a server for three thousand five hundred a month, and she tried to tempt him by transforming into a seductive woman.
• Heath took Farfetch'd to the vegetable market and decided to prepare sandwiches and hot dogs alongside his usual food.
• As Heath began choosing ingredients, warmth against his chest alerted him to a little cat poking its head out.

Heath named Hoopa Little Red and prepared sandwiches and hot dogs for the Technology Expo while planning to return to Pallet Town afterward. Miss Nami arrived at his food truck with Giovanni, who said he had come after hearing it was a Silph Co. exhibit.

• Heath considered several names for Hoopa before settling on Little Red, and Farfetch'd decided Heath was hopeless at naming Pokémon.
• Heath and his Pokémon visited the market, bought ingredients, and ate sandwiches he had prepared on the way to the Technology Expo.
• Little Red initially refused its fish sandwich but eventually began eating it.
• Heath prepared dozens of sandwiches and planned to have Charmeleon help grill sausages and toast bread for hot dogs.
• Miss Nami arrived with Giovanni, who greeted Heath and explained that he had come after hearing the food truck was a Silph Co. exhibit.
