Chapter 435: Dialga and Palkia Escort the Courier Dragonite

After much thought, Naoki ultimately decided that it would be unwise to rush into inter-region deliveries.

With the increased attention, it was inevitable that Pokemon hunters from other regions would take notice and place orders with the intention of luring the Dragonites into a trap, only to capture them.

Pokemon, even Legendary ones, tended to be far too naive when compared to humans.

There had been countless instances in the anime where Legendary Pokemon had fallen prey to human schemes and technology.

From the Sea Spirit, Lugia, to Celebi, Latios, the Three Regi, Meloetta, and Kyogre—even the Time and Space Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia, had once been controlled.

With this in mind, Naoki replied to the customers requesting inter-region shipping.

【Naoki Ranch (Merchant)

: We apologize, but as of now, our delivery service is limited to the Paldea region. The other regions are too far away, and I fear for the safety of our Dragonite couriers.】

This response was quickly screenshotted and shared by netizens on the Pokemon forums.

Those who understood Naoki's implication realized he was concerned about the Dragonites encountering Pokemon hunters in other regions.

There was little to argue with, as it was common knowledge that rare Pokemon were often hunted and sold on the black market in various regions.

Dragonites, being both powerful and exceedingly rare Dragon-type Pokemon, were especially sought-after by Pokemon hunters.

It was only natural for Naoki to worry about the safety of his Dragonites.

However, another netizen soon asked, "Are there no Pokemon hunters in the Paldea region?"

Before Naoki could respond, someone else replied on his behalf.

【Paldea's Chief Champion, Yeci: Indeed, Paldea has always maintained excellent public security! We owe this peace and safety to the hardworking staff of the Paldea League. They tirelessly work to ensure the region's harmony! Everyone is welcome to visit or settle down in Paldea!】

Yeci retweeted the message.

Naoki: "..."

Yeci was stating a fact; he had never seen a Pokemon League more dedicated to their work.

From top to bottom, they were all equally committed. It wasn't just Aoki; even Yeci herself often worked overtime, forgetting about time.

Whenever there was an emergency in any of the major cities, the Paldea League would immediately send someone to resolve the issue.

Like the time a few years ago when a massive Dragonite entered Paldean waters, and the Chief Champion herself had to intervene.

If there was any "villainous" force in Paldea, it would probably be Dr. Olin and Dr. Fort, conducting their research deep within the Paldea Pit...

Their actions would later result in numerous aggressive paradox Pokemon breaking through the pit's defenses and invading the region, causing no small amount of trouble for Yeci and her team.

Nevertheless, while Yeci worked on her end, Naoki felt it was necessary to remind his Dragonites to be vigilant.

As the saying goes, one should be cautious but not harbor ill intentions.

League Calendar Year 200, Spring, March 10, 6:25 a.m.

As the Dragonites made their way from Dragonite Island to the ranch, ready to begin another day's work, Naoki gathered them all on the grass.

With eleven hired Dragonites and his own, the ranch now had a total of twelve Dragonites and a newly hatched Minidraco.

The Dragonites stood beside Naoki, their arms folded, gazing at the group of hired Dragonites and their work partners, the Rotom.

Naoki cleared his throat and asked, "So, how has work been these days?"

The Dragonites nodded enthusiastically, letting out cheerful roars: "Roaar~"

These tasks were a breeze for them!

The Dragonites' appearances were endearing, and they looked absolutely adorable when they smiled. Naoki smiled back, patting their heads affectionately, and continued, "But today, I want to talk to you about something else."

The Dragonites blinked, their eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Roaar?"

"It's about the potential dangers you may encounter during deliveries," Naoki explained. "Just like Pokemon, humans come in all sorts of personalities. Some humans are kind-hearted and will bake cookies for you, like Mrs. Tangtais and Ms. Mary from town."

"But there are also those with dark intentions. They may try to harm you by using stronger Pokemon to incapacitate you and then capture you with nets or cages, only to sell you for a high price."

Hearing this, the Dragonites before him frowned, clearly disapproving of the latter type of humans.

But they were not afraid.

The eldest of the Dragonite brothers let out a low growl: "Roaargh!"

He vowed to teach those despicable humans a lesson if they ever crossed his path.

Naoki shook his head: "Don't underestimate your opponents."

"Roaar?" The eldest Dragonite looked at him quizzically.

"In such a situation, what would happen if you were to battle it?"

Dragonite eagerly chimed in, "Roaar~"

Naoki smiled and pinched its chubby paw affectionately.

Hearing these words, the eldest Dragonite brother furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.

Soon, a grave expression appeared on its face.

Seeing this, Naoki spoke up, "So, does everyone understand?"

"Roaar!" The Dragonites nodded vigorously, indicating that they had taken his words to heart.

Then, Naoki turned to the Rotom Phones and instructed them,

"I'm entrusting the Dragonites to your care. If anyone tries to harm or capture them, be sure to contact me immediately. If you can't reach me, get in touch with Rayquaza or Giratina."

The Rotom Phones also promised to remember.

Only then did Naoki nod in satisfaction.

He had already sought help from two Legendary Pokemon.

Both Rayquaza and Giratina had agreed that, upon receiving a message, they would rush to the Dragonites' aid.

Of the two, Giratina was the most enthusiastic.

It assured Naoki that from now on, the Dragonites would be like its little brothers, and it would keep a watchful eye on them!

Should anyone dare to bully them, it would instantly trace the internet connection and take care of those troublemakers, rescuing the Dragonites.

Naoki was initially bewildered by Giratina's words until he heard from the Rotom Phones that Giratina had been watching Pokemon Hollywood's latest gangster movie.

According to Rotom, the movie depicted a story of a human with strong principles and loyalty, leading his subordinates in a gang war and ultimately becoming the boss of the underworld, ruling over all the gangs in the world.

Giratina found the human in the movie to be quite similar to itself, and it began fantasizing about becoming such a Pokemon—gathering a group of subordinates under its command.

Thus, when Naoki requested its help, Giratina readily agreed without hesitation.

Although Giratina had a temperamental personality, it was one to keep its promises. In this regard, it was quite dependable.

With both Giratina and Rayquaza as a double insurance policy, should anyone attempt to capture the Dragonites, Giratina would immediately trace the internet connection and mete out punishment on those individuals.

With this arrangement, Naoki could finally rest easy.

The Dragonites embarked on another day of work, carrying their cargo and following the navigation of the Rotom Phones to deliver the goods to customers.

Meanwhile, Naoki began a thorough cleaning of the house with the help of the Eevee siblings, Ai Guanshi and Ai Guanshi Mei.

With so many Pokemon, their toys were scattered everywhere, and some of the Pokemon who had been playing outside returned with muddy paws, leaving dirty tracks in the living room.

As Naoki busied himself, the Eevees playfully chased each other around him.

When he turned, he noticed a trail of dirty footprints on the freshly cleaned floor.

"You mischievous Eevees! Look at this mess! All of you, get out and play outside!"

Naoki took a sharp breath and decided to shoo all the Pokemon out of the house to play in the ranch.

The mischievous Eevees scampered off, and Wingull, who had been inspecting the food in the refrigerator, turned to leave as well, though it was unclear why.

Noticing Wingull's movement, Naoki called out to it, "Wingull, I wasn't talking about you. You can keep playing in here."

Wingull rarely stepped on the floor, so it wasn't responsible for the dirty footprints.

"Mmm."

Wingull gave a soft reply and floated back.

Seeing that Wingull was staying, Golems, who had been about to leave, also stopped and decided to remain in the living room.

Naoki noticed this interaction and hesitated, unsure what to say.

"Ah ga sii?"

Naoki sighed helplessly, "Ah, forget it. Where's Motos Lizard?"

Golems turned to look outside, "Ah ga sii!"

It had just seen Motos Lizard and Ekans head to the Karpina Park with the Sai Brothers.

Understanding the situation, Naoki spoke to Golems, "Go and call them back. Today, I'm giving all of you a good bath."

"Ah ga sii!"

Golems agreed and ran off.

By the time Naoki and the Eevee siblings finished cleaning the house, Golems returned with a long line of Pokemon following behind.

Naoki prepared several basins of water in the bathroom. With so many Pokemon, he could only wash them one by one.

He started with the hairless Pokemon, as they only needed a quick rinse and some fragrant shower gel, which didn't take too long.

Golems, Motos Lizard, Sai Brothers, and Ekans were all done within five minutes.

The furry Pokemon took much longer, as Naoki had to wash their fur and then blow-dry it afterward to prevent them from catching a cold.

The Lava Bug, summoned by Naoki, released a comfortable amount of heat, acting as a dryer for the fluffy Eevees.

The Eevees sat by the fireplace, basking in the warmth, yawning lazily, and enjoying the cozy atmosphere. Some even exposed their little tummies to the heat.

When Naoki emerged from the bathroom, this was the sight that greeted him.

A group of Eevees lounged contentedly by the fireplace, some lazily swinging their tails, others resting on their paws, a few dozing off, and one even lying on its back with its half-dry tummy exposed.

Without hesitation, he reached out and started tickling the group of Pokemon.

Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of "Bu'yi, bu'yi!" as the Eevees squealed in surprise and delight.

In the afternoon, after a tiring morning, Naoki felt exhausted after lunch.

The weather was beautiful, and the sun shone comfortably. Naoki decided to head to the Buba Yang Ranch, lay on a small hill, feel the breeze, and soak in the warm afternoon sun.

In this tranquil environment, Naoki's body and mind gradually relaxed.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, with boundless azure skies overhead and fluffy cotton candy-like clouds drifting slowly in the gentle breeze.

Naoki felt a sense of peace like never before.

Here, there was no city hustle and bustle, no endless work, and no busy traffic... Only fertile fields, bountiful orchards, soft grass, and adorable Pokemon.

This kind of life felt like a dream.

From afternoon to evening, Naoki lay in this spot, relaxing with the soft Buba Sheep as his companion.

During this time, he watched the part-time Haxorus deliver their packages and then head out again.

As the day's work came to a close and the shop prepared to close, the Haxorus received their Poke Puffs from Ai Guanshi Mei and happily prepared to return to Haxorus Island.

Seeing this, Naoki suddenly felt that the Haxorus might be tired from their daily commute.

After a moment's thought, he called out to the Haxorus who were about to leave.

A large group of Haxorus turned their heads, confused by his call. "Rawr?"

"Oh, I almost forgot something," Naoki said. "The World Tree has grown, and there's plenty of space inside for you to live. Would you like to stay and make your home in the World Tree?"

"Rawr?"

The part-time Haxorus knew about the World Tree, but they hadn't seen it in a long time and weren't sure what Naoki meant.

Naoki took them into the Inverse World and showed them the World Tree so they could see it for themselves.

Experiencing the natural atmosphere of this place, the Haxorus couldn't hide their amazement.

"What do you think? Do you want to stay? This way, it'll be more convenient for you to come and go from the ranch, and you won't have to travel back and forth like before." Naoki invited them warmly.

The Haxorus were intrigued by their surroundings.

"Rawr~!"

Four of the Haxorus immediately nodded in agreement. They were the Minidraco and Hakamo-o who had come to play at the ranch before.

Their love and attachment to the ranch far exceeded that of the three older Haxorus.

The other three part-time Haxorus blinked and readily agreed as well.

The remaining trio of older Haxorus hesitated but soon gave their response.

"Rawr." The scarred Haxorus, the eldest, looked at Naoki and expressed his desire to return to Haxorus Island.

Naoki nodded, "Alright, then I'll wait for you here. No matter what decision you make, I'll respect your choice."

The eldest Haxorus was touched. After spending time with Naoki, he finally understood why the other Haxorus had grown so fond of this human.

Not only did he teach them battle techniques, but he also used his Dragon-Taming Power to help them grow.

Moreover, he respected their opinions and cared about their feelings.

With these thoughts, the eldest Haxorus looked at Naoki with an unprecedented seriousness.

However, at that moment, he sensed an unignorable gaze.

The eldest Haxorus turned and saw the silly Haxorus glaring at him.

Haxorus warned, "Rawr! (Naoki is my Trainer! You can stay here, but you can't make him your Trainer!)
