The next day, Lucas went downstairs to find that Wallace was already wearing his yellow hat and red backpack.
Lucas looked at Wallace, who was dressed just like Golduck and the others, with his green hair, yellow hat, and red backpack.
What a familiar color scheme—
A traffic light?!
"Have you really made up your mind?"
Lucas stood at the foot of the stairs and asked Wallace, who was waiting at the counter for Gothitelle to pack the herbal tea for him.
Wallace gave a smile.
"Don't worry."
Seeing this, Lucas stopped worrying.
"Staraptor, will you have to work hard to lead the way for Wallace today?"
Lucas asked Staraptor as it flew into the Breeding House.
Staraptor nodded in agreement.
Walking Wallace to the entrance of the Breeding House, Lucas patted his shoulder.
"Work hard so I can buy a car and a house."
Wallace burst out laughing upon hearing that.
"Alright, Boss. Then I'll work hard so you can buy a house and a car soon."
After the joke, Wallace hopped onto the Breeding House's Gogoat and headed to Twinleaf Town to deliver the herbal tea.
After finishing breakfast, Lucas watched as the second batch of Miltank he had ordered recently was delivered to the Breeding House. He greeted the Miltank that already lived there and asked the lead Miltank to take this new batch to the backyard to get familiar with life in the Breeding House.
Learning from the Miltank chosen as the leader that the newcomers were very satisfied with life at the Breeding House, Lucas also asked if there was enough pasture for them to eat and received an affirmative answer.
Lucas rubbed the head of this Miltank—it felt just as good as the others—and said with a smile, "If there's ever not enough to eat, don't even think about eating less. You must tell me. You can't go hungry."
The Miltank leader squinted its eyes, enjoying Lucas's touch, and nodded.
It wouldn't let itself go hungry; after all, it still had to produce milk for the Breeding House.
It and the other Miltank already considered this place home. After all, besides eating and being milked every day, there was nothing else they needed to do. They could chat, play, and mess around with Gogoat, Gothitelle, Dash, and the others. It was much more interesting than before.
After the Miltank returned to the backyard, Lucas thought for a moment, pulled out his phone, and found the number for the Mayor of Sandgem Town.
The Mayor had contacted him before to order Moomoo Milk, but because the Breeding House didn't have enough Miltank at the time, he had declined. Today, with the arrival of six more Miltank, it was barely enough to provide milk for the school in Sandgem Town, and maybe even for some of the elderly residents in need.
After communicating with the Mayor of Sandgem Town over the phone, Lucas said that starting tomorrow, the Breeding House's Pokémon could deliver Moomoo Milk to the school in Sandgem Town. He also mentioned that if there were any elderly people in Sandgem Town in poor health, they could also place orders with the Breeding House. The Breeding House would provide home delivery, just like they did in Twinleaf Town.
Although the money earned from the fresh milk delivery business was currently far less for the Breeding House than what they made from food delivery and the Cottage in Twinleaf Town, the main issue was still the lack of Miltank.
However, Lucas was still very happy to be able to bring warmth to those in need.
After all, the residents of Twinleaf Town and Sandgem Town had also helped his Breeding House a lot.
After finalizing the matter, Lucas heard Gothitelle's voice coming from the kitchen.
Lucas stood up and walked into the kitchen, finding Gothitelle staring blankly at a bowl of dark herbal tea.
"What's wrong? Gothitelle, did you run into a problem with the herbal tea research?"
Lucas walked over to Gothitelle's side and asked.
To research this herbal tea, Gothitelle hadn't gone to the Cottage for several days and had used many medicinal ingredients.
She had even bought a lot of ingredients from outside.
Of course, since it was something Gothitelle wanted to do, Lucas supported her unconditionally.
After all, the Breeding House wasn't short on that small change.
But it looked like Gothitelle had hit a bottleneck.
Hearing Lucas's question, Gothitelle looked up at him and pointed at the herbal tea on the table.
"Gothitelle."
It's a bit strange.
Hearing Gothitelle's words, Lucas looked at the dark herbal tea on the table and observed it closely.
Eventually, he just gave up; he couldn't tell anything anyway.
"Should I try it?"
Lucas asked tentatively.
Gothitelle shook her head.
"Gothitelle."
I have a good candidate.
Lucas and Gothitelle made eye contact. "What a coincidence, I have a good candidate too."
After Lucas finished speaking, he called out without looking back.
"Gengar."
A second later, Gengar poked its head out from the wall.
"Gengar gargar?"
What's up?
Lucas and Gothitelle pointed at the herbal tea on the table at the same time.
Gengar tried to leave without hesitation, but Lucas was quick and grabbed its cheek, pulling it out of the wall.
"Gengar gargar—"
Why is it me again— (-|)
Gengar looked at the herbal tea on the table, its big fat face wrinkling into a small fat face.
"After all, you're a Gengar; you won't get poisoned."
((A\))
I'd rather be poisoned than have something so bitter.
Resigned to its fate, Gengar picked up the herbal tea and sniffed it.
Yue~
Gengar stuck out its tongue.
Finally, under the gaze of Lucas and Gothitelle, it pinched its nose and poured all the herbal tea in the bowl into its mouth.
Just as Gengar finished pouring the tea and was about to close its mouth, Lucas used his quick hands to scoop a spoonful of sweet honey and shoved it into Gengar's mouth.
"Gengar gargar?!"
Strange, why is it sweet?
Gengar even smacked its lips.
How come this bowl of herbal tea also tastes like sweet honey?
Lucas told Gengar to open its mouth and continued to feed it another spoonful of sweet honey.
"Is it still bitter?"
"Gengar gargar."
Yeah.
"How about now?"
Another scoop.
A little bit.
"Hmm?"
Hehe, not bitter anymore.
Only then did Lucas put the lid back on the sweet honey.
After a while, Lucas looked at Gengar. "How do you feel?"
Gengar felt it out.
"Gengar gargar?"
Doesn't seem like there's any change?
Gothitelle nodded, indicating that it was enough.
Seeing Gothitelle's expression, Lucas pinched the corner of Gengar's mouth. "Thanks for the hard work. I saw a new snack while scrolling through my phone today; I'll make it for you tonight."
"Gengar gargar!"
Remember to keep calling me next time; I love herbal tea!
Lucas rolled his eyes and shooed Gengar out.
Gengar floated out happily.
Gothitelle wrote this herbal tea into the herbal medicine menu Lucas had given her.
The effect of this herbal medicine also appeared before Lucas's eyes.
[Beauty Tea: A new type of herbal tea carefully researched by Gothitelle, brewed with the hope that everyone can be healthy and beautiful. People or Pokémon who take it long-term will have smoother skin, clear impurities from their bodies, be free from anxiety, and it also provides a sleep-inducing effect with very few side effects.]
[I have recorded all the beauty of the Breeding House — Gothitelle]
[All medicine has a bit of toxicity; do not neglect health for the sake of beauty — Gothitelle]
[With a happy mood, you will naturally become pretty and beautiful — Gothitelle]
Lucas looked at the text introduction that popped up and couldn't help but pinch his chin.
Why does it feel like the Breeding House's herbal tea is starting to have some strange and quirky effects?
Beauty Tea, it can even improve skin?
Looking at it this way, won't this herbal tea be loved by many people?
Lucas looked at the herbal tea in the pot, poured himself a bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The effect seems pretty good, Gothitelle."
It was a bit more bitter than ordinary herbal tea, Lucas noted after smacking his lips.
Gothitelle nodded.
Her self-developed Beauty Tea was finally a success. So happy.
