My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 96 Delivery Service

Although Tonghua Ranch currently has no electricity and no landline phone available.

However, it's foreseeable that there will be a demand for food delivery services in the future. Rather than waiting until then to slowly consider it, it's better to prepare in advance.

Anyway, training takes time, and maybe it will come in handy once the training is complete.

"You mean the giant gull?"

Grandpa Yang put down his wine glass, a look of realization dawning on his face. "That's right, the Pelippers used for delivery by the general store and several other shops in town are indeed selected from my Pokémon shop."

They are docile and have a good sense of direction, making them ideal for delivery.

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua immediately showed a delighted expression and wanted to ask for more details.

"but-"

Grandpa Yang suddenly changed the subject and said,

"The remaining ranches haven't been properly trained yet, so they might not be able to be put into use."

However, I do have some other Pokémon here that can help with delivery.

"Oh? Other Pokémon?" Tong Hua's curiosity was immediately piqued. "What Pokémon is it? Can it be as reliable as Pelipper?"

Grandpa Yang stroked his beard and gave a slightly mysterious smile: "Come and see for yourself. I guarantee they're faster and more agile than the beaked gulls, and they're especially lovable."

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua immediately followed Grandpa Yang into the Sunshine Ranch.

It was dusk, and the interior of Sunshine Ranch was bathed in a reddish-orange sunset.

"Wow.

This was the first time Tong Hua had ever seen such a sight. The hemispherical transparent dome refracted brilliant light under the setting sun.

The entire interior space of the ranch is illuminated like a warm amber palace.

The forest tortoise and the foam squirrel followed behind Tong Hua, also drawn by the beautiful scenery.

The group followed Grandpa Yang through several ecological zones of the ranch and finally arrived at a man-made snowfield environment.

The ground here is covered with a layer of fine snow, and the temperature is lower than in other areas.

"It's just ahead."

Grandpa Yang walked ahead with his cane, his steps light and quick, seemingly already accustomed to the environment.

"What kind of Pokémon lives in this environment?"

"Ah, could it be?" Tong Hua suddenly thought of an answer.

"Could it be a messenger bird?" Tong Hua blurted out, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

These Pokémon, which live in cold regions, are known for their Santa Claus-like appearance and their love of sharing gifts, making them the perfect representatives of dessert delivery!

"Oh? You guessed pretty fast!" Grandpa Yang glanced at Tong Hua with some surprise, then smiled and confirmed his guess.

"That's right, it's a messenger bird."

They are natural delivery experts, not only cold-resistant and excellent fliers, but most importantly, the pouch on their tails acts like a natural insulated box.

Moreover, they have a natural inclination to safely deliver things to others, and seeing the happy expressions on others' faces makes them happy too. They have already ventured deep into the snowfield area.

Several red and white messenger birds, resembling a combination of penguins and Santa Claus, were seen walking in the snow or flapping their short wings to shake off the snowflakes.

They held their tails to their hands, like a conspicuous white bag, which looked bulging inside, and it was unclear what was inside.

Seeing Grandpa Yang and the stranger enter, several messenger birds tilted their heads curiously and looked over, making cute "coo-coo" sounds.

One of them even hopped closer, scrutinizing Tong Hua and the Pokémon behind him with its round, black eyes.

"Look," Grandpa Yang pointed to the fearless messenger bird, "they're very gentle and intelligent. With a little training, remembering routes and customers won't be a problem at all. And that pouch on its tail..."

He gently patted the tail of the nearby messenger bird, and the bird obediently turned around. "It keeps things warm very well. Whether it's a cold drink or a hot pie, it can be delivered to the customer in its fresh-baked state."

How about it? Isn't this dessert shop more suitable for you than the Peacock dessert shop?

Tong Hua's heart melted as she looked at the messenger bird in front of her, which exuded a festive atmosphere and had innocent and friendly eyes.

He imagined in his mind a messenger bird landing steadily in front of a customer, taking out delicious snacks from a bag, and delivering deliciousness and happiness to the customer like Santa Claus.

That scene was absolutely perfect!

"Perfect!" Tong Hua excitedly crouched down, looking directly at the curious messenger bird. "Hello, messenger bird. Would you like to help my dessert shop deliver delicious treats to our customers and make everyone happy?"

"Coo-choo!" The messenger bird seemed to understand, flapping its wings happily, and the pouch on its tail swayed. It even gently touched Tong Hua's hand with its beak to show its friendliness.

Overwhelmed with joy, Tong Hua overcame her bird phobia and showed no reaction to the messenger bird's sharp beak.

"Grandpa Yang, how much does it cost?"

"Nonsense, why would you want money?" Grandpa Yang waved his hand. "Consider it an opening gift from this old man to you. Take it home."

"How can this be!" Tong Hua quickly stood up, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Grandpa Yang.

"Alright, alright, if you really want it, then send me something delicious every day for the next few days. Just those cookies I just ate; they were really sweet and tasty."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Tong Hua immediately agreed, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth.

Grandpa Yang was fulfilling his persistence in the most considerate way, and giving him the opportunity to repay his kindness.

"I'll have a messenger bird deliver the freshest food to you every day! I'll also try making many different flavors!"

"Haha, then this old man is in for a treat!"

Grandpa Yang laughed heartily, his wrinkles smoothing out. "Go on, take your new friend home, it's getting dark."

"Chirp chirp!"

On the way home, Delibird followed Tong Hua and gave a gift to the Tortoise, Foam Squirrel, and all the other Pokémon beside him.

It's not some "gift" move that might heal or explode, but a real gift.

That was the food he liked to collect most often, which he used to distribute on special occasions!

The messenger bird carefully took out the fruit from its magical tail pouch, held it with its short wings, and handed the last one to Tong Hua.

"Thanks."

"Coo-choo!" the messenger bird chirped merrily, its bright black eyes sparkling with the joy of sharing.

After distributing the gifts, the messenger bird hopped and skipped alongside Tong Hua, occasionally glancing curiously at the surrounding night scene. His trust in his new companion made him feel no unease whatsoever.

And so, Fairy Tale Ranch welcomed a new companion. And the name of Happiness Dessert Shop is about to create a sensation throughout the Almia region—
