Chapter 86: Travel Bear Has Brought You a Gift
Chapter 86: Travel Bear Has Brought You a Gift
After settling everything with the Dragonite, it was already 5 o'clock in the evening.
Due to the weather, Zack was delayed and arrived a little later than usual. He drove his truck into the ranch and asked after getting out, "Do you have anything for sale today?"
"Goat milk and mushrooms," Naoki directed Golurk to bring out the bucket of goat milk.
Zack moved forward to weigh it and then handed the money to Naoki, saying with a smile,
"Your goat milk is very popular in town! Quite a few people have specially come to ask me where this goat milk is sourced from. They say that after drinking it, their bodies are filled with energy, and fatigue disappears as if it were never there. It seems to be a bit different from ordinary goat milk."
Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly, as he had been drinking the goat milk for a long time without noticing any difference.
Now it seemed that the milk produced by his riding goat had some mysterious abilities that he wasn't aware of.
It could relieve fatigue and restore energy. Although the milk produced by Big Boober could also help Pokemon recover their energy, it seemed that the effects of the riding goat's milk had far surpassed it.
Zack continued, "Because goat milk is so popular and its quality is exceptionally high, we have classified it as [Premium Goat Milk] and will purchase it at a higher price. Here, take the money for today's milk!"
Naoki took the money and, after counting it, his face showed a surprised expression. "So much?"
Compared to the previous 600 Pokedollars, there was an additional 200 Pokedollars, bringing the total to 800 Pokedollars per bottle.
Zack laughed and said, "Its effects and the nutrition it contains are worth this price."
"Alright," Naoki replied, delighted at the prospect of earning more money.
Zack prepared to leave, and before getting into his truck, he said to Naoki, "This goat milk has become a specialty of Naoki Ranch. Everyone in town knows that this magical goat milk is produced here. We plan to transport the excess milk to other cities to sell, and I believe that very soon, even more people will come here to buy your goat milk."
"I look forward to it," Naoki said with a smile.
After seeing Zack off, Naoki returned to the wooden house and recorded the day's income in the account book. He then drew a cute little picture of a bottle of goat milk and wrote the words "New Specialty of Naoki Ranch" next to it.
"Phew!"
After finishing the records, Naoki leaned back in his chair and counted the current funds.
The higher selling price of the goat milk had brought in some extra income.
"Hmm, I've saved up enough for Big Boober. Tomorrow, I can go to town and buy one first," Naoki thought to himself, planning for the next day.
In addition, he also wanted to visit the Pickle Market to see if there was any sweet red tea for sale. This particular red tea had a sweet and refreshing taste with a rich aroma and a very unique flavor. Naoki quite liked it and intended to buy a can to drink.
After finishing the records, Naoki began preparing dinner for everyone.
Due to the rain, the grass outside was wet, and several Pokemon didn't like that feeling, so they stayed indoors all day without going out.
After dinner, it was bedtime.
Naoki hugged Pupple and snuggled into the newly bought bed, watching TV. The news was covering a report about a journalist interviewing new students at Orange Academy.
At this time, the principal of Orange Academy was not yet Cravat. However, the freshman orientation activity was the same as in the game—a treasure hunt across the entire Paldea region, whether it was challenging Gyms or encountering new Pokemon.
With many tasks awaiting him tomorrow, Naoki yawned and settled into bed, ready for sleep.

The night passed without incident, and the next morning dawned bright and early.
Naoki rose with the sun, completing his morning chores around the ranch before setting out on his Motostoke. With money in hand, he headed into town.
Upon his arrival, he found the Happy Ranch just opening for the day.
Miley was sweeping in front of the store, and her eyes widened in surprise when she spotted Naoki, "Mr. Naoki, you're up early!"
"It's almost 8:30, not that early," Naoki replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Miley blushed slightly and changed the subject, "Are you here to buy a Miltank today?"
"How did you know?" Naoki asked, taken aback.
Miley giggled and explained, "Grandpa told me. He said you'd be coming to buy a Miltank soon, and he's feeding the Pokemon in the backyard right now. You can just go straight to him."
Naoki nodded and bade Miley farewell before making his way to the back, where he found the elderly man feeding a group of Kentauros.
However, these Kentauros were different from what Naoki remembered.
They were black.
They were the Galarian form of Kentauros, and what caught his attention was that despite being the same species, there were three distinct variants among them.
Naoki recognized them by their appearances.
"The Fighting-type Battle species, the Fire-type Fiery species, and the Water-type Splash species..."
The elderly man feeding the Kentauros noticed Naoki and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Naoki replied.
He walked closer, his eyes scanning the group of Kentauros.
The elderly man explained, "These Kentauros are new arrivals to the ranch. Because transporting Miltank over such long distances by sea is unsafe, I decided to try incubating the eggs myself."
"I see!" Naoki exclaimed, realizing why there were suddenly so many Kentauros on the ranch.
Since Miltank lacked a male counterpart, Kentauros was the corresponding Pokemon for breeding, and many breeding houses would pair them with Miltank for egg production.
This was common knowledge to Naoki.
The elderly man asked, "Are you here to buy a Miltank?"
Naoki nodded, "Yes."
The man paused in his task and turned to face Naoki, "Then follow me! Those youngsters are quite lively! You can choose which one you'd like to take back to your ranch."
Naoki trailed after the elderly man to where the Miltank were kept.
Meanwhile, in the mountains behind the ranch...
The baby bear, still groggy from sleep, slowly opened its eyes in the cave.
It wasn't fully awake yet, its mind still fuzzy from the dream it had been having.
In its dream, it was surrounded by delicious honey puddings, towering over it like mountains. It bounced from one to another, occasionally taking a bite of pudding or licking the honey that coated them.
The taste of honey pudding lingered in its dream, and the baby bear swallowed, its mouth watering.
It wanted more! The baby bear sat up, saw that it wasn't raining outside, and picked up a stone it had found during its wanderings the day before. It decided to head to the ranch to trade the stone for honey.
- That was what the human had told it to do.
