Katie:		Heading down to the miltank pen Katie sighed as she had a long night and was still tired even though it was 6am. It had been far too busy a day prior had been the meeting and signing of the contract about the honey supplier. Bunny had gone to feed the other pokemon on the farm as she trekked to milk and brush the Miltanks. Yawning, she feels a pull on her belt and looks down. Goku her chimchar looks up at her then climbs up her leg to rest on her shoulder. Her chimchar loved brushing other pokemon for some odd reason, she is just glad he likes to help. 
Reaching the pen she unlocks it and steps inside Goku jumping off her shoulder and grabbing one of the brushes from her pail. Turning she watches him run over to the grazing Miltank who are happy to stop what they are doing for a good brushing. She smiles and closes and locks the gate making her way towards the cow pokemon as well. Taking a seat on the grass she has several miltank walk up to her ready for a good brushing before their milking. Setting the tools down around her she picks up her own brush and gently strokes one of the miltanks heads.
 The miltank is more than happy to sit in front of her and get a good brushing. As
the sun rises and she and her chimchar make quick work of brushing all the miltanks. They finish brushing all the miltanks by the time the sun has fully risen. Once they are done Katie picks up her bucket and supplies then heads over to the small barn in the corner of the pen. Setting the tools down on a table she walks over to the milking area to set up the station. Goku rushes in, setting his brush on the table next to the other tools and makes a happy noise. 
	It takes only a few minutes to set up the milking station, “Why do they always hide the stool from me? They really do like Bunny better,” she mumbles. A noise comes from the doorway of the small barn and she turns to look. One of the miltank is peeking in the door and she smiles at them as the dart back out. “Goku. Would you please go round up your friends,” Katie asks her chimchar and he is quick to dash out the door. Not ten minutes later Goku has rounded up the miltanks and brought them into the barn so she can milk them. 
	“Who shall we start with,” she asks the pokemon, the biggest miltank stepping forward and patting her knee. She pats the miltanks head and pulls on her gloves before getting to work. After two long hours she has four buckets of moomoo milk and is ready to head back for the day. She moves each bucket of milk over to the table then cleans up the area before turning. Walking over to the big refrigerated milk can she opens the top and climbs up on the stool she had been sitting on to pour the milk in. Once all four of the buckets have been emptied into the refrigerated can she puts the lid back on and climbs down. 
	Walking around to the side of the large milk can she checks the temperature and nods as she finds it to be the appropriate temp. Next she checks the level of milk in the can and notices it is time to empty it partially again. “Might as well fully empty it so we can move some to the shop and Bunny can work on the smoothies a little more,” she says to herself. Humming to herself she picks up her phone and dials Bunny’s number. A few rings later and her sister picks up, “Hi Katie,” is shrieked into her ear. Flinching away from the noise she holds the phone slightly away from her ear this time. “Bunny, it's time to empty the milk can again,” she says into the phone. “Ohhhh, yeah I will be over soon with the milk jars and wagon,” Bunny exclaims from the other side of the phone. “Great I will see you soon then,” she finishes and hangs up after saying goodbye. 
	She quickly sweeps the floors and puts the stool out of the way before setting up the tools in their new place. “Finally we can keep the specific tools in each area,” she sighs to herself, A smile spread out on her face. Looking at the buckets that are still dirty she stacks them and picks them up before walking out of the barn. Walking to the side of the barn she goes up to the spicket by the watering trough. Setting the buckets down she turns the water on and proceeds to rinse and clean each one. Turning the water off she wipes the sweat from her brow as the sun continues to rise in the sky as noon quickly approaches. 
	Hearing a noise she looks over to the fence to see Bunny waving at her. Looking at the cart behind her sister she sees Margaretta, her sister's Galarian Ponyta hooked up to it and looking super bored. She also sees Tommy walking towards her alongside Yippers who rushes into the field to play with Goku and the miltanks. Katie stands and picks up the buckets, “Do you have the milk bottles Bunny?” 

Bunny: 	“Of course what do you take me for,” she laughs, grabbing one of the crates and walking over to the fence. She unhooks the fence and opens it slightly, setting the crate down on the other side. Looking up she nods at her sister who is walking over. “I’ll set the crates down here. Would you take them to the barn?” she asks her elder sister. “Of course,” she hears Katie reply. Nodding to herself she grabs another crate and sets it down. She keeps going until she has the last crate in her arms. 
	“This is the last one,” she announces, walking through the gate and kicking it closed behind her. She walks into the barn setting the crate down with the others and looking up at her sister. “Alright would you like to fill the bottles and me put them back in the crates or vice versa,” she asks her elder sister. “Go ahead and fill them I’ll put them away,” Katie replies. Nodding she picks back up her crate and unloads the bottles onto the table before setting the crate on the floor. Humming, she preps the nozzle making sure it's clean and sanitized. 
	
Both:		Setting about their work they make small talk and spend the next two hours filling the glass bottles and setting the full ones back into the crates. When one is full Katie walks it out to the fence and sets it down under Tommy’s watch. Once they are all full the girls take the last crate to the fence. They call to their pokemon who quickly rush back to their sides. Opening the fence gate once more they move the crates to the other side before closing the gate behind them. “Alright let’s load up and head back,” Bunny says to her sister. Katie nods to her and the girls load the crates of milk into the wagon and set off back to the house.
