Upourning to the ranaoki was still perplexed. Judging by Koraidon's as and cries, it seemed to have learned fronite about its desire to bee stronger, and that Dragonite was unaware of what a Trainer was. Then, Koraidon had reended Naoki tonite, g he could help Pokémon bee stronger.

  While teically true, it was also honite excitedly ehe Poké Ball, pletely unaware that Koraidon might have been exaggerating.

  Was it innoce or y? Naoki couldn't tell.

  Koraidon nded on the ranch, and Naoki released Dragonite from the Poké Ball. Seeing the wounds on its body, Naoki offered it an Oran Berry again. This time, Dragonite didn't refuse. It reached out its cws, took the berry, and ate it eagerly.

  As long as it became stronger and learned more moves, it could return to the isnd and prove itself to the Dragohat had rejected it! But how could it bee stronger? Dragonite looked expetly at the human in front of it.

  Naoki couldn't help but facepalm. "Let's call it a day. It's getting te, and I'll try to find a way to help you bee stroomorrow."

  "Roar." Dragonite looked a bit disappointed.

  Due to limited spa the , Naoki returned Dragoo the Poké Ball for the night.

  The m dawned bright and clear. Naoki got up and started w on the ranch with Cyclizar and Koraidon. Dragonite followed them eagerly, anticipating their help in making it stronger.

  As Naoki put feed and water in the chi coop, he turo see Dragorailing closely behind. He was momentarily speechless.

  Naoki returo the , quickly cooked a steak to temporarily boost strength and stamina, a tonite. After eating, Dragonite's eyes lit up, feeling a surge of energy in its body, as if it had boundless strength. This further solidified its trust in the human before it.

  "Stay on the ranch," Naoki instructed. "I have to go out and take care of some things. We'll talk iernoon."

  Work on the ranch was always busy. After feeding the chis and watering the pnts, Naoki still had to go to town for daily ies.

  "Roar." 'Okay'.

  Naoki left Dragonite in Koraidon's care and, after giving Koraidon some instrus, rode Cyclizar to the town. This time, he mainly po buy some milking equipment and ingredients.

  His first stop was the Pokémoer. Upoering, he saw the girl who had delivered Smoliv and Alcremie to his ranch. She was wearing an apron and ing with a rag. When she saw Naoki, she immediately stood up and greeted, "Mr. Naoki, good m!"

  "Hello," Naoki replied, looking around. "Where's yrandfather?"

  The girl replied, "Grandpa went out on busioday. I help you with anything you need."

  "I see." Naoki didn't pry further and simply expined his purpose.

  The girl looked surprised and asked, "Did you catch a Pokémon that produces milk, Mr. Naoki?"

  Naoki nodded. "Yes, sihe ranch is just starting, there isn't enough moo buy all the supplies, so I thought I could catch them myself."

  "I see, Mr. Naoki must be a very good Trainer!" The girl theo a shelf in the bad retrieved an item. "This is a milking mae. We also have milking buckets and gss bottles."

  Typically, a Skiddo produces milk once every two days, yielding about 2-3 kilograms each time. The rancher uses the milking mae to collect the milk into buckets, which is then transferred to gss bottles.

  From there, it be stored for personal ption or used to make cheese and other products, or it be sold. The selling price varies depending on the quality, with higher quality milk fetg a higher price.

  Under normal circumstances, a 300 ml bottle of goat milk sells for around 200 Pokédolrs. Of course, the rancher also sell it in bulk, with the buyer paying based on the quantity.

  Naoki had researched this beforehand. He purchased a milking mae, three milking buckets, and 200 gss bottles for packaging, all for a total of 4,600 Pokédolrs.

  After paying, the girl said, "Alright, I'll deliver these items to your ranch ter, Mr. Naoki."

  "Thank you for your trouble." Naoki thanked her politely, then rode Cyclizar to the market to buy a rge quantity of glutinous rice flour, sugar, and various ingredients that Pokémon typically eat.

  The glutinous rice flour, sugar, and grass could be made into the Green Grass Dumplings that the Skiddo loved. He po make a rge batch at ond store them as feed.

  Having pleted his tasks, Naoki didn't linger in town. By the time he rode Cyclizar back to the ranch, the stru team had already arrived and begun work.

  Seeing Naoki, K the dazed Drago far away, a surprised expression on her face. "I hought you could catch a rare Pokémon like Dragonite!"

  Naoki hesitated. Could he tell her that this Dragonite had followed him ba its own?

  But Kora didn't pry further. She simply made a casual remark and tinued her stru work.

  Naoki turned and put the purchased ingredients into the cupboard. By the time he came back out, the milking mae, bucket, and gss bottles had been delivered.

  After receiving the items from the girl, Naoki took them to where the three Skiddrazing. The three Pokémon stood up obediently.

  Naoki carefully attached the milking mae to their udders, pced a bucket underh, and with a gentle squeeze, sweet-smelling goat milk flowed into the bucket.

  "Am I using enough force? Are you unfortable?" Naoki asked.

  "Maa~" The Skiddo shook their heads, indig they were fine.

  "That's good." Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and tinued milking.

  By the time all three Skiddo were milked, the bucket was nearly full, weighing about 15 pounds. Naoki checked the specifications: 7.5 liters.

  "The gss bottles are 300 ml each, and sell for 200 Pokédolrs per bottle. 7.5 liters of goat milk could sell for about 5,000 Pokédolrs." Naoki quickly calcuted the potential profit from goat milk in his head.

  Three Skiddo yielding 5,000 Pokédolrs every two days, that's 75,000 a month.

  A fortune!

  Naoki felt overjoyed. The ranch finally had a stable ine source!

  He immediately carried the milk bucket back to the , remembering the elderly woman who had inquired about milk a few days ago. He took out his ledger, found her phone number, and called her using the video phone.

  After a few rings, the call ected, and Naoki asked, "Hello, Mrs. Dahis is Naoki Ranch. We have fresh goat milk now. Are you still ied?"

  Hearing this, Poggio Dantes oher end of the phone sounded surprised and hurriedly said, "Yes! Thank you so much! Thank you very much!"

  After a brief versation, Naoki learned her needs and address.

  er Name: Poggio Dantes

  Request: Two bottles of fresh goat milk every m, willing to pay 500 Pokédolrs per bottle.

  Address: 308 Lanhai Street

  "Otle for 500, two bottles for 1,000. The normal market price is 400 for two bottles, which is 600 more in total. The price is eous." Even Naoki, the seller, felt it was a bit excessive. Perhaps they really urgently.

  After some thought, he decided to sell it at the normal prid charge a maximum of 100 Pokédolrs for delivery.

  Besides, there was another problem. Who would deliver the milk to town every day?

  Naoki pondered. Just then, a voice came from behind him.

  Naoki turned around and saw Dragonite flying towards him with eager eyes, as if asking when it could start training to bee stronger.

  Naoki smiled. "Well, it's you!" A pn formed in his mind. "I've figured out a way to help you train!"

  Dragonite's eyes lit up. "Roar?"

  "Help me deliver the milk!" Naoki patted its shoulder and expihe job iail.

  After hearing this, Dragonite looked puzzled.

  Could I really bee strohis way?

  Naoki fibbed, "Oh yes, delivering goods is not as simple as you think. You o master your flying skills during delivery. Doing this sistently will help train your body, make you stronger, and also build your perseverance."

  Dragonite: "Roar??"
