Lucas listened to Gengar relay the request from the residents of Twinleaf Town after its return.
Lucas thought it over carefully; it actually seemed quite feasible.
The residents' requests were almost all asking if the Breeding House could add a new service in addition to the herbal tea delivery.
For example, dessert delivery.
They were very satisfied with the Breeding House's desserts, but it was snowing outside and the roads were difficult to walk on.
Many people wanted to stay at home and enjoy delicious desserts or other delicacies from the Breeding House without having to go out, so they asked Lucas if he could start a new service for the Breeding House to deliver the things they wanted to eat.
Of course, regarding the delivery service, they expressed that they would pay extra fees.
Isn't this just food delivery?
Lucas thought about it carefully. The main reason the Breeding House made these desserts was because the Pokémon liked them, and he liked eating them too. He also wanted to bring convenience to the people of Twinleaf Town who had helped him so much.
Coupled with the fact that there were extra fees to be collected, Lucas did not reject this suggestion.
This was different from the herbal tea delivery. herbal tea was pre-ordered every day and delivered at a unified time the next morning. However, the service they were proposing now was that as long as it was within the Breeding House's business hours, they could order food, and then the Breeding House would arrange for staff to deliver it to them.
Lucas sat in the lounge area, carefully considering the feasibility of this matter.
Since it was winter, and a winter with heavy snow that Twinleaf Town hadn't seen in decades, there weren't many Pokémon the Breeding House could dispatch—especially Pokémon familiar with Twinleaf Town that could also carry things.
Gengar, Lickitung, Machoke, San Li, Gogoat, Staraptor, and Rhyperior could do it. He could also call back Pinsir and Heracross from the cabin.
But with so many residents in Twinleaf Town, these few Pokémon clearly wouldn't be enough to handle the workload.
If the speed was a bit slower, they should be able to accept it, and at the same time, he wouldn't accept so many orders.
Lucas felt that this idea was quite feasible, so he decided to ask for Gothitelle and the others' opinions when they returned in the evening.
Because if this service were to start, it would be these Pokémon who would be exhausted.
After dinner, Lucas sat with Shauna and Mime Jr. in his lap. Feeling the increasingly heavy love Shauna had for the Breeding House, Lucas shifted his bottom slightly, changing to a more comfortable sitting position, and then let out a sigh of relief.
His legs were a bit numb.
Lucas voiced his suggestion.
The Pokémon gathered in the lounge area listened carefully to Lucas's explanation.
"So, if this service is launched, you might all be very tired."
Lucas said at last.
Gengar patted its cheeks.
"Gengar gargar"
I'm fine with it, I can accept it.
Gothitelle indicated that it wasn't its business. The cabin was in Twinleaf Town, and she already had to guard it. Moreover, the cabin would also sell these desserts, and there were children to take care of, so she didn't have time for deliveries. Although she also said she could find time to go, this request was rejected by Lucas.
Gothitelle was already very tired, so he wouldn't continue to add more pressure to her.
Lickitung, Machoke, and San Li, the three Machamp, patted their chests.
"nidorans sound!"
Leave the Breeding House's matters to us.
Machoke and San Li nodded.
"nidorans sound."
We are very happy to continue contributing our strength to the Breeding House.
And Staraptor and the others said it was no problem either.
Gogoat lay on one side, indicating that it could also go out for deliveries.
Lucas looked at Gogoat and Miltank.
He felt a bit sorry for them for some reason.
They had to produce milk and go out for deliveries.
It really lived up to the saying: what is eaten is grass, and what is squeezed out is milk and blood.
Seeing that all the Pokémon in the Breeding House said they were fine and could accept it, Lucas was somewhat moved.
It seemed that whenever he made a decision, those in the Breeding House would support him unconditionally.
Even Vespiquen said she could help with deliveries.
How could Lucas bear to let her go out for deliveries? She had to guard the hive at all times.
"Thank you. When the time comes, we'll use the money we earn to make delicious food for you every day."
Lucas said.
"We just need to get through this winter. When spring comes and the forest Pokémon can come to the Breeding House, I will entrust them. By then, we should be a bit more relaxed."
Hearing Lucas mention the forest Pokémon, Shauna in his arms seemed to think of something and tugged at his sleeve.
"Uncle."
Shauna looked up at Lucas and called out.
Lucas looked down and asked Shauna what was wrong.
Shauna spoke in a crisp voice: "Uncle, for deliveries, Gothitelle and Azumarill might be able to help too."
Shauna's words reminded Lucas. He still had the Azumarill and Golduck groups in the Lake area of the Breeding House. Psyduck, Golduck, Azumarill, and Marill all seemed to be able to help with deliveries.
"Thank you, Shauna. I'll go over and ask for their opinions right now."
Lucas picked up Shauna, let Mime Jr. sit on his shoulder, stretched his somewhat numb legs, stood up, and walked toward the backyard Lake area.
Arriving at the Lake area, Lucas explained the situation to the leaders of the two groups and asked if they could help him.
Lucas was about to say he could offer them generous rewards, but before he could speak, he saw them nod without hesitation.
The Golduck leader let out a quack.
Originally, they had wanted to help protect the Breeding House, but they hadn't expected the Breeding House's Pokémon to be so powerful one by one. In the end, it turned into them living peacefully in the Breeding House instead.
Now that there was finally something the Breeding House needed help with, they certainly wouldn't refuse.
Seeing this, Lucas couldn't help but laugh.
Pokémon are always so simple and cute; if you are good to them, they will always think of how to repay you.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I'll prepare delicious food for you every day."
Listening to Lucas's words, the Golduck and Azumarill leaders both nodded in satisfaction.
Lucas returned to the lounge area and sat down, reaching out his hand. The next second, Gengar handed him a notebook and a pen. Lucas looked up at Gengar.
Gengar showed a mouthful of white teeth and grinned.
Lucas felt a warmth in his heart, then began recording in the notebook.
He would customize uniform clothes and hats. Lucas had already decided on the color: purple, with Gengar's pattern added.
Then he would prepare some menus, which would include the herbal tea and herbal medicine carefully brewed by Gothitelle; the desserts carefully made by Alcremie; and the Canteen delicacies carefully made by Mime Jr.
The residents of Twinleaf Town would then be able to order from the menu and place orders online with the Breeding House. The Breeding House would dispatch Pokémon for delivery services based on demand.
At the same time, Lucas spoke with Mayor Qi Yi and received strong support. He also obtained a detailed map of Twinleaf Town from him. Lucas divided Twinleaf Town into several zones on the map and would later divide the Pokémon into several groups, with each group responsible for one zone.
After writing down his plan and ordering the clothes according to the requirements, Lucas said goodnight to everyone and the Pokémon in the Breeding House and went back to his room.
In the middle of the night, Lucas's phone rang.
Lucas answered the call.
Nurse Joy's anxious voice came through.
"Lucas, an accident happened at sea. Can you come over?"
Her voice carried a hint of a sob.
"Right away."
