In addition to Mrs. Dantes who ordered milk earlier and Elo, the seed shop owner, Naoki Ranch has received many more orders from the town these days.
There are orders for the magical milk produced by Gogoat, orders for rock salt, orders for fresh eggs, and orders for the MooMoo Fresh Milk from Miltank.
Although the town also sells these, they believe that the milk freshly squeezed from the ranch is fresher, more authentic, and tastes better.
There was even someone who ordered a basket of tender corn previously, saying they wanted to eat steamed corn.
The corn was delivered by Naoki and Koraidon together.
All other milk, goat milk, and eggs were delivered by Dragonite.
Over the past few months, Dragonite has become more familiar with Porto Marinada Town than Naoki.
Dragonite quite enjoys this job.
Because during the job, it can hear everyone's compliments.
And Dragonite's favorite customers are Mrs. Dantes living on Blue Ocean Street in the northeast corner of town and her husband.
Because this kind and amiable old lady always likes to make some cookies and other snacks to give to Dragonite.
At first, Dragonite was very anxious about this because Naoki said not to randomly accept gifts from customers, so it refused.
But Mrs. Dantes was so enthusiastic.
Dragonite didn't want them, but she insisted, saying these were new flavor cookies she had just developed, and if Dragonite didn't eat them, she would be very sad.
Therefore, Dragonite had no choice but to accept them reluctantly.
After returning to the ranch, it immediately discussed this matter with Naoki.
After a long discussion, Naoki ultimately decided: from now on, use a bigger glass bottle to deliver milk to Mrs. Dantes.
Now, Dragonite, accompanied by two wild Dragonite, arrived in Porto Marinada Town, introducing them to the places that needed milk deliveries.
"Roar, roar!" (Remember, this house and this house! Every morning, Naoki will have the fresh milk ready, and you just need to deliver it!)
The wild Dragonite blinked blankly: "Roar?" (And then?)
Dragonite: "..."
It suddenly felt that these two guys were even dumber than it was.
Thinking of the future plan Naoki devised for it, Dragonite felt the weight of responsibility and took a deep breath before explaining in detail:
"Roar——" (You can't just drop the milk, you need to land in front of the door, knock on it, and then someone will come out to receive the milk.)
"Roar!" (But note that delivering milk isn't the end, because humans will exchange money for the fresh milk. Bring this money back to the ranch to give to Naoki, and he will make delicious Poffins for you!)
"Roar!" Upon hearing this, the two wild Dragonite's eyes sparkled with excitement.
It sounded quite simple, didn't it?!
Next, Dragonite detailed the clients each dragon should be responsible for.
At the end, it did not forget to remind them: "Roar!" (You guys take care of those, and I'll handle this place!)
For other customers, Dragonite didn't mind, but Mrs. Dantes, who baked cookies for it, was a delivery only it could make.
The two wild Dragonite naturally had no objections.
After completing the instructions, the three Dragonite left Porto Marinada Town and flew back to Naoki Ranch.
They came in a hurry, wandered around Porto Marinada Town, and left in a hurry.
This eye-catching scene not only caught the attention of the townspeople but also intrigued some Trainers camping in the countryside.
"It's a Dragonite! I've seen it in the Pokedex at the academy library!"
"How could such a Pokemon appear here?"
"That's even rarer than a Charcadet! I have to capture them!"
"Clefairy, let's go!"
"No way, I saw them first! If anyone's capturing them, it's me!"
"Then let's see who can catch up to them first!"
Two boys in Orange Academy uniforms ran off determinedly in pursuit of the Dragonite.
The girl left behind held her forehead in exasperation: "Honestly, these two are way too impulsive. Didn't they ever consider that these Dragonite might belong to another Trainer?"
She glanced at the tent beside her, then gritted her teeth and ran off without even packing up the tent.

Silence, silence is tonight's Kang Bridge.
Naoki looked at the five familiar figures in the lake, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Instead, the five Dragonair greeted him first.
"Woo~"
Naoki snapped out of it, walked to the lakeside, and looked at the Dragonair.
Including the Shiny Dratini, originally, there should have been three Dratini here.
But last night, all three Dratini evolved into Dragonair.
Looking at them now, it seems two Dragonair may have failed to evolve.
Was it due to a lack of accumulated experience?
As he looked at the five Dragonair, they also gazed back at him with wide eyes, appearing quite innocent.
Naoki sighed helplessly: "Alright, since you're here, you might as well stay!"
After all, Dragonair are worshiped by humans as agricultural deities.
With them around, the ranch should be blessed with good weather for the crops.
Naoki stood up and surveyed the surroundings.
He hadn't seen Dragonite since early morning and guessed that it had likely gone to deliver milk.
Not in a rush, Naoki went for a morning run with Cyclizar and Pawmot, while also inspecting his ranch.
He had new tasks for today, one of which was to transform the flower field.
