Although Tong Hua's ranch still had no electricity, nor even a landline he could call from.
Delivery service was something he would certainly need in the future. Rather than wait until then to slowly think it over, he might as well prepare in advance.
Training would take time anyway. Perhaps by the time the training was finished, it would be just when he needed it.
"You mean Pelipper?"
Grandpa Yang set down his wineglass, a look of realization crossing his face. "That's right. The delivery Pelipper used by the general store and several other shops in town were indeed all selected from my Pokémon house.
"They have gentle temperaments and a strong sense of direction. They're very well suited to deliveries."
Hearing this, Tong Hua immediately brightened and wanted to ask for more details.
"But-"
Grandpa Yang suddenly changed tack and said,
"The ones left at the ranch haven't been properly trained yet, so they might not be ready to start working.
"But I do have some other Pokémon here that can help deliver things."
"Oh? Other Pokémon?" Tong Hua's curiosity was immediately piqued. "What Pokémon are they? Can they be as reliable as Pelipper?"
Grandpa Yang stroked his beard and gave a slightly mysterious smile. "Come take a look with me. I guarantee they're faster and more quick-witted than Pelipper, and especially endearing."
Hearing this, Tong Hua immediately followed Grandpa Yang into Sunshine Ranch.
It was dusk, and the interior of Sunshine Ranch was bathed in the orange-red light of the setting sun.
"Wow."
It was Tong Hua's first time seeing such a sight. The transparent hemispherical dome refracted dazzling colors in the sunset.
It lit up the ranch's entire interior like a warm amber palace.
Grotle and Minccino followed behind Tong Hua, equally captivated by the beautiful scenery.
