Last night, after some contemplation, Naoki devised two renovation plans in his mind.
The first plan is to set up a support frame in the middle of the flower field, allowing flowers to climb naturally and form a natural flower arch.
Leave space in the middle, pave it with pebbles, and arrange tea sets and furniture.
This way, Combee and Butterfree can rest on the frame, while people enjoy tea below.
The second plan is to build a transparent Glass Greenhouse using a large amount of glass.
The advantage of this is that even in the cold winter, flowers and plants can grow inside with ease.
Furniture and tea sets can also be placed inside, allowing people to elegantly drink tea and admire flowers inside during winter, just like in spring.
Both plans have their own merits, leaving Naoki somewhat undecided for the moment.
Just then, Dragonite returned.
What surprised Naoki was that it unexpectedly brought two other Dragonite along!
As soon as those two Dragonite saw him, their eyes lit up instantly.
Naoki: "..."
Well, this familiar feeling, those two gluttons are unmistakable.
Naoki was not foolish; upon seeing the red pouch on Dragonite's back and its demeanor, he quickly guessed that it took them to the town to familiarize themselves with the route, paving the way for the future Dragonite Delivery Company.
"Did they agree?" Naoki asked softly.
Dragonite nodded confidently.
Naoki: "Then that's fine."
Since Dragonite was all set, he couldn't lag behind.
After pondering for a moment, Naoki decided to write an announcement to post on the bulletin board in Porto Marinada Town square later.
As for the content, he already had an idea.
"Naoki Ranch is now launching Dragonite Delivery services! Fresh eggs, nutritious milk, magical goat milk, large and plump pumpkins! Dragonite Delivery, straight to your home!
If interested, please call 5376898! Note: Currently, we do not support inter-city and inter-regional deliveries!"
As for why inter-city deliveries weren't supported...
It was because the Dragonite were still very unfamiliar with other cities, and there weren't any good navigational tools to guide them.
Speaking of navigation, Naoki's first thought was Rotom.
Rotom was a very magical Pokémon; they could inhabit refrigerators, washing machines, all sorts of appliances, even phones and computers.
The renowned Rotom Phone quickly spread throughout the Pokemon World once released.
This device, which could look up and record the Pokedex, came with maps, navigation features, could communicate and take photos, was very popular among Trainers.
If available, he could equip each delivery Dragonite with one to assist them in deliveries, and keep one at home to maintain contact with Dragonite delivering outside.
Unfortunately, at this time, the Phone Rotom had not yet appeared.
Naoki recalled: "If I remember correctly, the Phone Rotom should have been made by the company founded by Nemona's parents."
But now, Arven wasn't even ten years old yet, and Nemona was probably just a little kid.
And Penny, who adored her fluffy Eevee backpack, she might have just been born?
Thinking of this, Naoki couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Oh well, we'll just have to wait gradually."
After all, even smartphones hadn't been invented yet...
Even if he managed to find Rotom, there was nothing he could do.
Every time this happened, Naoki would mutter about how skewed this world's technology tree was.
As for inter-regional deliveries...
Dragonite's flying speed surpassing that of airplanes is a well-known fact in this world.
Even though they could circle the globe in sixteen hours, Naoki still didn't plan on having them deliver to other regions.
Because other regions were not peaceful at the moment.
Take the Kanto Region and Hoenn Region for example, it would be disastrous if members from Team Rocket or Team Magma and Team Aqua posed as customers ordering deliveries, tricking Dragonite.
They would just need to set up a trap in advance, and once Dragonite reached the destination, it would immediately get captured.
That would truly be a loss.
This was all for the safety of the Dragonite.
"No way, besides equipping them with Phone Rotom, I also have to find ways to enhance Dragonite's abilities," Naoki thought deeply.
Not expecting them to surpass Koraidon, but at least be on par with Gogoat.

After breakfast, Naoki began making their favorite Poffins for the two foodie Dragonite.
Now that Big Brother Indeedee was around, he didn't need to worry about the daily chores, as Big Brother Indeedee would handle all housework orderly.
As a result, Naoki had ample time and energy to prepare the favorite cuisines for the many Pokémon.
Little Sister Indeedee had never learned to make Poffins before.
She was naturally interested in preparing delightful dishes, and upon seeing Naoki busying himself, Little Sister Indeedee immediately came over curiously to watch.
Naoki glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Want to learn?"
"Indeedee!" Little Sister Indeedee nodded quickly; could she learn?
"Of course." Naoki smiled, and then began to demonstrate the process of making Poffins for her.
"Like this, first place the Berry in cold water, then heat while continuously stirring to bring flavor to the Poffins..."
"But be mindful of the timing, if it's overcooked, the batter might get burnt, making the Poffins unpalatable, and no Pokémon would like it."
