Not only did the fruit trees on Mystic Mountain have a bumper harvest, but the grafted fruit trees on Prosper Peak also underwent tremendous changes.
Eddie's first batch of grafted fruit trees also grew into big trees and bore abundant fruits under Meloetta's encouragement.
The conditions of the second batch of grafted fruit trees were different because there were too many and too diverse varieties.
A large number of them slowly died during the growth process due to mismatched grafting. Among the surviving ones, some bloomed and bore fruit; some only bloomed, and the fruit fell off when it grew to the size of a thumb; and some did not even bloom a single flower, but just kept growing.
Needless to say, those that are dead, those that only bloom but do not bear fruit, and those that do not bloom at all are varieties that have failed grafting. Some of the fruits may not meet Eddie's expectations because of their poor taste.
In addition, all the special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line planted by Eddie in front of the house have bloomed, and many seedlings have grown, covering the entire flower field. Now Florges and the Flabébé should be happy.
The tall Petaya Berry tree behind the house became lush and leafy again. The dense crown directly covered most of Eddie's yard. It was also covered with densely packed Petaya Berries, some big and some small, some ripe and some raw. In short, it was also a bumper harvest.
Now Larvitar's food is really taken care of, and other Pokémon can also benefit from it.
Looking at the orchard that had changed drastically, Eddie suddenly felt that his previous sadness was unnecessary...
After doing all this, the Landorus and Enamorus became visibly tired. They slowly descended from the sky and asked Eddie to arrange a place for them to rest.
Of course Eddie had to be satisfied. Having received such a great benefit, he had to serve these two Pokemon well. Not to mention arranging a place for them to rest, even if he was asked to massage their backs, he would do it without hesitation.
Landorus and Enamorus are not very big, about the same size as an average adult. Eddie directly arranged two rooms for them at home.
Eddie also kindly asked them if they wanted to eat, but they refused. In their opinion, Eddie had nothing good to offer them.
Of the two, Zapdos and Moltres, only Zapdos stayed behind. Moltres, which was not seriously injured, went straight back to the Cave of the Sea God. It wanted to tell Articuno about what happened here, so that Articuno wouldn't worry if they didn't go back.
Eddie arranged Zapdos to stay in the staff dormitory, where there was a room that Eddie had built specifically for Talonflame and other Pokémon to live in. It was very convenient for bird Pokémon to enter and exit, and was a perfect place to house Zapdos.
By the time all these were arranged, it was already completely dark. Eddie called all the Pokémon back home, made them a big meal, and gave them a good health treatment. After all, everyone was very tired from cleaning up the orchard in the afternoon, so they had to be rewarded well.
Just when Eddie was giving the Helioptile a general health check-up, he discovered that the original energy in its body had increased again, its purity and quality had also improved, and even its hidden energy circuit had been lit up a little.
Eddie estimated that after a while, when he helped the Helioptile light up its hidden energy circuit once again, it would be able to prepare to evolve.
I just don't know when the Sun Stone he traded for will be delivered.
"Helioptile, does your body feel pain when you absorb lightning?" Eddie asked.
The Helioptile shook its head blankly. It didn't hurt. It felt very comfortable!
"It doesn't hurt?" Eddie was puzzled.
This shouldn't be the case. The hidden energy circuits of the Helioptile have all been lit up. It doesn't make sense that it wouldn't hurt! Could it be that it hurts when I light it up because I'm not using the right technique? Eddie couldn't help but think to himself.
After asking the Helioptile a few more questions, Eddie still couldn't get a clue, so he had to give up worrying about this issue. Perhaps it was because the lightning came from the Legendary Pokémon, Thundurus!
There were too many secrets of the Legendary Pokémon that he didn't know, so it was hard for him to jump to conclusions.
Through the description of the Zapdos, Eddie already knew that the lightning absorbed by the Helioptile came from the Thundurus. It was precisely because of this that the lightning had a great attraction to the Helioptile and increased its strength.
After sending the Helioptile away, Eddie looked at the Brionne and asked, "What about you? You have been in the rainstorm for so long, what have you learned?"
"Brion~" I won't tell you!
The Brionne said this mysteriously, raising his chin high as if he was very great.
"Oh, you really got something out of it? You're not afraid that I'll laugh at you, so you made up a lie to deceive me?" Eddie said jokingly.
"Bri~Brionne~" Humph, I won't talk to you anymore! Hearing Eddie's words, the Brionne immediately ran back to his room angrily.
Seeing that the Brionne refused to speak, Eddie did not force it. He just smiled and shook his head. He knew that he would know the truth one day.
After all the Pokémon dispersed, Eddie returned to his room and made another phone call to the orphanage to inquire about the situation there.
The heavy rain and strong winds in the afternoon were so severe that he was a little worried about the situation over there.
Fortunately, everything was normal at the orphanage. Although the younger children, Daisy and Lucas, were a little frightened, they were not seriously affected.
Eddie was talking to Director Eleanor for a while and was about to hang up the phone when Director Eleanor suddenly said, "Eddie, wait a minute, Eli has something to tell you."
Eli's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Eddie, are you okay?"
Eli asked worriedly at first, but he was relieved when he learned that Eddie was not injured in the storm.
Eddie lived in the mountains and was more vulnerable to storms, so he was worried all afternoon.
Eli had wanted to call Eddie a long time ago, but unfortunately due to a severe storm, the signal in Coumarine City was temporarily cut off and was only restored recently.
He was just about to call Eddie, but unexpectedly Eddie called him himself.
After confirming Eddie's safety, Eli said, "I just got a call from Celebi Breeding House. Several orchards they cooperated with suffered heavy losses due to the storm, so they wanted to ask about the situation here."
"Eli, don't worry. I haven't suffered much loss and the fruits can be shipped normally." Eddie replied.
The loss was huge, but now it's gone.
"That's good." Eli breathed a sigh of relief. "This storm was so fierce that I guess many orchards in Coumarine City suffered losses, so you should be mentally prepared. The price of fruit may increase recently."
Eddie thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible. The storm came suddenly and was extremely violent. Few orchards could respond in time, so there should be many orchards with a similar situation to Eddie's.
"Let's wait and see. Eli, please pay more attention to the market price of fruit in Coumarine City. We will just follow the market when the time comes."
"Yes, I will."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
The night passed in a flash, and Eddie was woken up by Eli's phone call early in the morning.
"Eddie, go pick the fruits quickly. Celebi Breeding House has placed an additional order for a large number of fruits from us." Eli's anxious voice urged from the other end of the phone.
It turned out that the losses of the orchards in Coumarine City were even more serious than Eddie and his team had predicted. Take the ones that Celebi Breeding House cooperated with for example, some of them were even unable to ship their goods.
In desperation, they had to place orders with other companies, but currently all sources were out of stock and could not be mobilized at all. For a while, Eddie was the only one who could ship the goods.
After hanging up the call with Eli, Eddie jumped out of bed, ran out of the room, and informed the Pokémon to go to the orchard to pick fruit.
For a while, the house was busy and panic-stricken, it was a mess.
A few hours later, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and the other strong ones carried baskets of fruits down the mountain.
The fruits just picked from the tree in the early morning still have water droplets hanging on them, and they look juicy and fresh.
Celebi Breeding House staff were already waiting outside the warehouse at the foot of the mountain. As soon as the fruits were delivered, they began to load them onto the trucks efficiently.
At the same time, there was an inspector who checked the quality of the fruits from time to time, but he was soon surprised to find that the quality of Mystic Mountain's batch of fruits was much better than before. Not only was the energy level a little higher, but the appearance of the fruits was also improved.
Other orchards have suffered heavy losses, but they can still produce better fruits. It's really strange!
To be honest, Eddie was busy until dark yesterday and had not had time to test the batch of fruits produced by Landorus and Meloetta, so when the tester showed him the test results, he was a little surprised.
As the quality of the fruit improves, the price will naturally increase slightly accordingly.
After the handover was completed, Celebi Breeding House's people left with cartloads of fruit. This was Eddie's largest single shipment.
Eddie did not let them go up the mountain because the changes on the mountain were too great. If someone discovered it, it would be difficult to explain.
He had already ordered the Talonflame Patrol to block all roads on the mountain and not allow any outsiders to approach Mystic Mountain. Eddie had even told Eli and the others not to come to Mystic Mountain for the time being.
It's not just because the mountain has changed so much, but also because some Legendary Pokémon are recuperating here.
On the way back to the top of the mountain, Eddie passed by his orchard and couldn't help but smile when he saw the trees full of fruits.
Going to make a lot of money!
Although more than a dozen truckloads of fruit had been picked and sent away, the fruits hanging on the trees had not decreased at all, which showed that Eddie had really made a fortune this time.
Because the storm has not subsided yet, Eddie has not received any notice to go back to class, so he does not have to go to school today.
Thinking of the test results of the inspector, Eddie took the testing equipment out after returning home.
After some testing, Eddie found that not only the energy level of the fruit had increased, but the energy rating of the fruit tree had also improved a lot, and it seemed to be one step closer to grade A.
There was just one problem, and that was that the energy in the fruit tree energy diagram had become a lot more turbid.
Originally, with the help of Eddie's Golden Finger, the energy in the energy diagrams of these fruit trees had become very pure and condensed, but after experiencing this incident, the energy in their energy diagrams became somewhat turbid and loose.
Eddie guessed that when the Enamorus gave birth to them, they absorbed a large amount of energy while also absorbing a large amount of impurities mixed in the energy.
The age of the fruit trees suddenly increased by more than ten years, which means that they have not been nurtured by Eddie's Golden Finger for more than ten years.
Eddie picked a fruit and took a bite. It tasted okay, but the flavor seemed to have changed and was not as delicious as before.
Eddie has confirmed that if there are too many impurities in the energy diagrams of fruit trees, it will affect the taste of the fruits to a certain extent.
Fortunately, although the taste of the fruit has changed, it is not particularly obvious. As long as Eddie works harder and overtime, I believe he will recover soon.
Then Eddie went to Prosper Peak again. When he got there, he was shocked.
He didn't have time to come to Prosper Peak yesterday, so he didn't know the situation here. When he came here today, he saw that Prosper Peak, which originally had only saplings, is now full of tall trees, and the trees are full of fruits. The whole mountain exudes a rich fruity fragrance.
Eddie walked into the first batch of grafted fruit trees. Too many fruit trees had died here before, and now there were only about fifty trees left. However, compared with ordinary fruit trees, these fifty trees were taller, and one tree was at least as tall as the two trees on Mystic Mountain.
Eddie guessed that it might be because they were grafted from mutant fruit trees, so the tree shape was very different from ordinary fruit trees.
He selected a fruit tree and tested the tree and the fruit separately, then he rubbed his eyes.
Level A?
Am I right?
Eddie tested it again and the result was still A, both the fruit tree and the fruit.
Eddie quickly chose another one to start testing, but this time the tree and the fruit were only grade B, but they were very close to grade A.
He started testing each tree one by one, and eventually finished testing all the fifty-plus trees. Among them, nine were grade A, and the rest were grade B, which was very close to grade A.
The only thing that made Eddie feel sorry was that the taste of this kind of fruit was not very good. It was only slightly better than ordinary fruits, but far inferior to those on Mystic Mountain.
It's still a question of variety.
Another problem is that the energy in their energy diagrams is even more turbid and loose than that of the fruit trees on Mystic Mountain.
Because the fruit trees used for grafting are mutant varieties that are accustomed to high-energy concentration environments, this batch has a higher energy absorption rate and absorbs more impurities.
It seems that I need to put more effort into these fruit trees in the future! Eddie thought to himself.
Because they are grafted fruit trees, the appearance of the fruits produced by this batch of fruit trees is slightly different from ordinary fruits.
For example, peach fruits are usually pink, but the peach fruits from this batch of fruit trees are white; and cherry fruits are usually bright red, but the ones here are pink... In short, the color of each fruit is different from ordinary varieties.
Then Eddie went to see his second batch of grafted fruit trees, and the situation here was complicated.
Eddie picked a fruit and put it in his mouth. He took a bite and his teeth instantly felt sour.
Isn't this too sour?
Eddie quickly spat out the fruit in his mouth and kept spitting out saliva, trying to get rid of the sour taste in his mouth.
