Naoki lost interest in playing after just one day, and finally, his brother Indeedee picked up the 3ds. It couldn't put it down, especially with the racing games on it.
Later, his sister Indeedee was also drawn to the 3ds, but unlike her brother, she preferred the house-playing mini-games.
The siblings agreed to take turns, each playing for an hour every day.
In the end, Naoki couldn't take it anymore and had to buy another 3ds for his sister Indeedee.
The two Indeedees were very disciplined; although they loved playing games, they didn't forget their duties and still managed everything at home in an orderly fashion.
It's worth mentioning that Pawmot's parents also settled down on the ranch.
The family of three proudly became the Chicken House managers at Naoki Ranch, herding hens there every day.
Under these circumstances, Naoki also started focusing on running his small store.
On February 15th, year 200 of the League calendar, the shop at Naoki Ranch officially opened.
However, he waited for a full three days without receiving a single order.
This made Naoki a bit doubtful about life.
He carefully checked his small shop and found nothing wrong.
"Could it be because the store sells only ordinary crops and milk?" Naoki pondered.
These crops and milk were not rare, as city dwellers could buy a whole bunch of fresh vegetables and unopened MooMoo Milk with just a ten-minute walk.
Additionally, the number of smartphone users hadn't peaked yet, and online shopping wasn't fully widespread, so this situation wasn't surprising.
With this in mind, Naoki found the reason.
However, Naoki was not in a hurry; if he couldn't sell them, he'd just keep them for himself.
Naoki turned off the computer and left the online shop there. Just as he was about to go outside to check the growth of crops on the ranch, he suddenly saw his sister Indeedee running over.
"Ai eep!"
It called out, then wanted to lead Naoki to the hatching room.
Naoki realized something and quickly followed.
As soon as he got in, he saw cracks appearing on the Dratini Egg placed in the crib.
With a crack, a Dratini with a light pink head poked out of the eggshell.
Goodness, another Shining Dratini!
Naoki felt his luck exploding!
The Dratini blinked its big, bright black eyes and curiously observed the surroundings.
Upon seeing Naoki, Dratini immediately let out an affectionate growl.
"Woo～"
"This little guy knows me!" Naoki said with a smile to his sister Indeedee.
No wonder, he had used Dragon Power to help this egg develop before. Although Dratini hadn't hatched then, it must have gotten familiar with his scent by then.
Naoki stepped forward, and Dratini gently crawled onto his hand.
Naoki infused it with Dragon Power, and the Dratini wore a content look, eventually falling asleep happily in Naoki's arms after eating and drinking its fill.
Naoki, who had experience taking care of an Eevee before, was quite familiar with how to look after a newly hatched Pokemon.
He took the Dratini downstairs, out of the room, and found the two Dragonites who had become partners, showing them the Dratini.
"Your child has hatched."
The two adult Dragonites looked down with big eyes at the Dratini in Naoki's arms.
They instantly recognized it as their own child.
They sensed a very familiar aura from the Dratini.
"Aowoo～"
Upon seeing this, the two Dragonites let out a joyful growl.
They knew they had made the right decision leaving their kid in Naoki's care!
Naoki: "..."
Naoki asked speechlessly, "Aren't you going to take it back to Dragonite Island to take care of it yourselves?"
The Dragonite couple shook their heads repeatedly: "Aowoo!"
They spent more time on the ranch than on Dragonite Island; instead of taking it back there, it's better to leave the baby on Naoki Ranch for care.
With Naoki taking care of it, they felt at ease.
This way, they could see their child every day.
When the child grows up, it can enjoy Poffins with them here.
Feeling the thoughts of the Dragonite couple, Naoki couldn't help but twitch his lips.
These two Dragonites sure know how to take it easy...
But that's fine! This Dratini will continue to be taken care of by him.

Meanwhile, in the Reversed World, Flower Sky Island.
Giratina was browsing the Internet using Telepathy to command Rotom.
After months of getting acquainted, Giratina had become adept at operating the Rotom Phone.
And the Rotom in the phone had also grown increasingly familiar with the Giratina in front of it.
Compared to the beginning, Rotom no longer feared Giratina, but it still worried about Giratina's temper.
Because this Pokemon had such a bad temper, it would lash out at anything it didn't like.
Rotom's texting "hands" were on edge.
And today, Giratina suddenly came up with a good idea.
It instructed the Rotom Phone to search for news about those two neighbors.
Giratina: "Search for Dialga and Palkia."
Upon hearing this, Rotom knew that Giratina was up to no good again.
It nervously conducted the search, then broadcasted the information it found.
