Chapter Summaries

Heath verified the quality of Sanji’s Miltank milk and agreed to buy from the former convict despite his suspicious past. Sanji’s wife turned the first delivery into a conspicuous publicity stunt, leaving Heath to worry that the association might make it harder to attract customers.

• Heath questioned Sanji about why he was selling high-quality milk door to door and checked his safety certificate with Officer Jenny Jing.

• Heath saw the crowd’s reaction and worried that customers in Pewter City might be reluctant to eat at his restaurant.

Heath arranged free Miltank milk from Sanji and welcomed a food safety inspector who sampled it for testing. Officer Jenny Feng, Officer Jenny Ling, and Officer Jenny Aya then arrived at Heath’s food truck, where Feng confronted him for skipping Viridian City.

• Sanji told Heath that his family would waive the milk charges for the length of their contract, subject to a limit of one hundred kilograms per month, and they signed a supplementary agreement.

• Heath waited for more than two hours, but Nidoran♀'s Trainer never returned.
• Heath called Officer Jenny Jing and explained the situation in a text.
• Officer Jenny Lei arrived, and Heath led her inside to see Nidoran♀.

After Nidoran♀ died from Pokémon fever, Heath struggled with the Pokémon’s abandonment and tried to calm himself by visiting Sister Feng and the Pokémon Center. He then headed to Pewter City’s Ghost Market after hearing that Ore Rock Bugs were for sale.

• Heath wondered why Nidoran♀'s Trainer had left the Pokémon in his food truck, but his Magic Conch failed to reveal who they were.

• Heath went to Pewter City's Ghost Market and heard that Ore Rock Bugs were being sold there.

Heath went looking for the Ore Rock Bug but got caught up at a stall selling unusually cheap old oil, which he recognized as used cooking oil. By the time he found the Ore Rock Bug vendor, it had sold, so Heath bought a photograph and finally saw what it looked like.

• Heath followed a crowd to a stall, expecting to find Ore Rock Bugs, but discovered that the vendor was selling cheap oil.
• Heath smelled the oil, identified it as old oil, and learned from the vendor that it was cheap because it had already been used for cooking.
• Heath left the stall as customers bought the old oil and continued searching for the Ore Rock Bug.
• Heath found the Ore Rock Bug vendor after the bug had sold, then bought a photograph for one League Coin.
• Heath saw that the Ore Rock Bug resembled a huge centipede with a body wider than an adult man's thumb and many legs.

• Mr. Giovanni saved Heath a spot near the museum exit, and Heath thanked him and set up his food truck there.

Heath prepared to sell food outside the Pewter City Science Museum and met Ailuo, who was pleased with his meal-card promotion. He later spoke with Officer Jenny Feng, who warned him to watch for pickpockets and keep an eye on Farfetch'd.

• Heath paid Zoroark to work outside but took his Pokémon to see the museum’s revival demonstration before it opened.

• Giovanni visited Heath after closing and said he was taking dinner to Officer Jenny Feng and the others, who were preparing for security patrols.
• Giovanni had a Nidoking bring Heath a large bag of ingredients so he could prepare the meal.

Heath prepared teppanyaki for Giovanni and the visiting Officer Jennys, then cooked filling rice bowls for the officers still working in Pewter City. After Nidoking delivered the boxed meals, Heath reheated the teppanyaki and sat down to eat with the friends who had waited for him.

• Heath fell asleep on the food truck floor, and his Pokémon gathered around him to sleep; Charmeleon made room for Snorlax.

• Heath freed his numb limbs, collapsed when Zoroark shook his hand, then recovered and got ready to buy groceries.
• Heath noticed Mew holding a wild marmot and checked it with his Ingredient Identifier, which reported that it was inedible and carried Yersinia pestis.

Heath discovered that the marmot Mew had caught carried plague bacteria and rushed to protect himself and his Pokémon. After tests cleared them at the Pokémon Center, Heath went to the Vegetable Market, wary of unfamiliar ingredients.

• Heath panicked when the Ingredient Identifier revealed that Mew's marmot carried plague bacteria, and he had Mew throw it out.
• Heath disinfected himself, Mew, and the food truck, then called Charmeleon to sterilize them with heat.

• Blissey's tests cleared Heath and his Pokémon, while Nurse Joy warned Heath that marmots around Pewter City had tested positive for plague.
• Heath drove to the Vegetable Market at dawn and chose familiar beef, lamb, and chicken instead of unusual fish.

• Mew left to visit its pretty friend while Heath posted the breakfast specials outside his truck and waited for customers.

Heath faced Hemi’s demand for a stinky dish and used a newly awarded Dialga’s Seasoning Jar to age mandarin fish instantly. The quest required him to make rotten egg sauce and win approval from three customers, while Dialga realized another of his possessions had vanished.

• Hemi asked Heath for stinky food but ruled out durian, so he considered dishes that could meet her request.
• Heath found that he lacked the time and ingredients to prepare the stinky dishes he first considered.
• A quest tasked Heath with making rotten egg sauce within two days and earning approval from at least three customers, granting him Dialga’s Seasoning Jar in advance.
• Heath aged mandarin fish for seven days in Dialga’s Seasoning Jar, producing a powerful stink for Hemi’s meal.
• Dialga noticed his seasoning jar was missing, recalled his other missing tools, and smashed his marble table in anger.

Heath served Miss Hemi stinky mandarin fish and began considering how to make stinky egg sauce, a dish he had never prepared before. As he started cooking eggs, Dialga entered the food truck looking furious.

• Heath finished making stinky mandarin fish and served it to Miss Hemi, who hesitated at its smell.
• Heath explained the care needed when frying the fish, then cleaned his cookware and Dialga's Seasoning Jar to prevent its odor from transferring.
• Heath thought through how to make edible stinky egg sauce, reasoning that the eggs would need to be cooked and preserved rather than allowed to rot.
• Miss Hemi ate the stinky mandarin fish enthusiastically, sweating as she took great mouthfuls.
• Heath put several eggs into Dialga's Pressure Cooker, and Dialga entered the food truck with a dark expression and bristling fury.

Heath experimented with Rotten Egg Sauce, but the seven-day egg smelled so foul that he discarded it. A Swablu then bought Seafood Fried Rice using a voice recorder and coins, and the chapter ended with a girl in Pewter City opening the meal and preparing to eat.

• Heath made a seven-day Rotten Egg Sauce experiment, but the rotten egg was inedible and he threw it away.
• Swablu arrived at Heath's food truck alone and used a voice recorder to order Seafood Fried Rice with no spice and little salt.

• A girl in Pewter City realized Swablu had brought food from the wrong place, then smelled the meal and moved to the edge of her bed to eat.
