Pokémon Couriers?

Recently I've been experimenting with a courier/ride service that really works and I'm really enjoying it. They really deliver the stuff that you want or need, and their prices are friendly. That got me into thinking of how couriers could be realized in the world of Pokémon. Sure, if our world and the Pokémon world is anything like each other, then both worlds would have the same courier services. What would set the Pokémon world apart is courier services that specifically pertain to using the aid of Pokémon.

In the old days in our world, pigeon couriers were one possible way of sending and delivering letters; in the Pokémon world, Pidgey couriers are their equivalent, though there are many other similar bird Pokémon that can perform the same task - Taillow is one that comes to mind. Also, since many winged Pokémon can also be flown and ridden on, it's not hard to imagine that some couriers can make use of Pokémon for their duties. Once I saw a fan art of a Dragonite carrying a messenger bag, perhaps on its way to a delivery; it is exactly this that can be imagined to happen.

Meanwhile in the games, in particular the ones that feature only Pokémon, there have been implementations of courier-like services. If you've played the first Mystery Dungeon games, then you've obviously dealt with the Pelipper Post Office, which not only works, but is also amusing to think about. If you play PokéPark instead, then you deal with Drifblim that carry you across areas in the game. These are very imaginative and can conceivably exist in the Pokémon, though the reality could be somewhat different.

If this world and the Pokémon world are like each other, then courier services are a sure thing. The world of Pokémon is lucky to have its creatures that understand and have a deeper connection with people; as such, it would only be natural to involve them in courier services for people and Pokémon alike. Such courier services would therefore by nature become friendly as well, and sometimes that's all that matters. Perhaps they can inspire us to make even more friendly courier services than what we have now.

In the meantime, let me see if I can get more stuff from that already-so-friendly courier/ride service.
