One day, Eddie was returning home from school when he suddenly saw Larvitar running towards him, shouting and yelling.
"Yo~ Yo~ Yo~"
It shouted and danced, its face full of anxiety.
Something happened to the Helioptile?
After hearing what Larvitar said, Eddie ran all the way towards the lightning rod.
When Eddie arrived at the lightning rod, the other Pokémon in the orchard were already there, including Zapdos.
In the past few days, Zapdos comes here every day with the Helioptile.
When the other Pokémon saw Eddie appear, they consciously made way for him, and Eddie finally saw the appearance of the Helioptile clearly.
At this moment, a large amount of golden lightning was wrapped around the body of the Helioptile, so densely packed that it seemed as if it was going to turn into a lightning cocoon to wrap it up.
At the same time, a milky white light flashed on its body from time to time.
This is...
Eddie looked at the light and felt it was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be... the light of evolution?
But the Helioptile didn't use the Sun Stone!
In fact, after continuously absorbing the lightning of the Zapdos in the past few days, the last hidden energy circuit of the Helioptile has been lit up. It was only because the Sun Stone that Eddie traded for was not delivered in time that its evolution was delayed.
"What's going on?" Eddie asked.
"Zap~"
At this time, the Zapdos spoke, and from its mouth, Eddie finally confirmed that the Heliolisk was evolving.
"But..."
The Heliolisk didn't use the Evolution Stone. Does this conform to the law of evolution? There won't be any problems!
As if guessing Eddie's thoughts, Zapdos explained the reason to Eddie.
Although many Pokémon need the help of Evolution Stones to evolve, Evolution Stones are actually not necessary.
The evolution of Pokémon is a transition of life forms, which is very difficult for some types of Pokémon, so they need evolution stones to provide them with an opportunity to break through obstacles.
In other words, even if there is no evolution stone, if other things or conditions are enough to help the Pokémon get this opportunity, then then evolution can still be completed.
It's just that such things or conditions are not easy to obtain. Relatively speaking, evolution stones are much easier to obtain.
Now, with the help of the powerful lightning power of Zapdos, the Helioptile has obtained this opportunity, and evolution is a natural process.
"I see!"
Eddie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but it was a pity that the Sun Stone he had spent so much effort to trade for was now useless. The other party had already sent the Evolution Stone out, and he couldn't just say he didn't want it now.
I don't know how long it took, but all the electric current wrapped around the Heliolisk was absorbed into its body, and the thunder cocoon disappeared. Instead, the light of evolution completely enveloped its body.
In the milky white light, the body of the Heliolisk began to grow taller and taller. Its original posture of walking on all fours changed to walking upright. Its tail became longer and longer, and its body became more slender.
"HelioLISK~"
With an excited roar, the Heliolisk, the light on its body suddenly exploded, and the Heliolisk appeared in front of everyone with a brand new posture.
Compared with the Helioptile, the Heliolisk's body shape has not changed much. Even when standing upright, its height is only over one meter. However, after evolution, its temperament has changed dramatically.
The Helioptile used to be quiet and looked very honest, but now it is very lively. It switches its two feet back and forth on the ground, jumping around, and there is never a moment when both feet land on the ground at the same time.
As it jumped around, the umbrella-like organ on its neck, which looked like a scarf, opened and closed, and electric currents flashed rapidly across it.
That umbrella-shaped organ is the power-generating organ of the Helioptile, called the Neck Umbrella by Pokémon researchers. It is extremely important to the Helioptile.
After venting its joy, the Heliolisk finally noticed Eddie. It came to Eddie in the blink of an eye and hugged Eddie's waist.
In other words, Eddie is not tall now, otherwise the Heliolisk cannot reach his waist.
However, compared to before the evolution, the speed of the Heliolisk seemed to have become faster, and Eddie almost couldn't react just now.
Eddie patted the Heliolisk's head and said to it with joy: "Congratulations, you finally evolved!"
After the Heliolisk reported the good news to Eddie, it solemnly thanked Zapdos. If it weren't for the help of Zapdos, it would not have been possible to evolve so smoothly.
However, Zapdos didn't care whether the Heliolisk thanked it or not. It just helped Eddie out of gratitude. Anyway, it had nothing else to do except recuperate.
After Eddie and Heliolisk thanked Zapdos, Zapdos said:
"Eddie, my injury is almost healed. It's time to leave."
Eddie was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Then I wish you a safe journey!"
Zapdos left as soon as it said it would. It nodded to Eddie, flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the sight of Eddie and the many Pokémon.
The Heliolisk stared at the Zapdos flying farther and farther away, with a look of reluctance in its eyes.
Seeing this, Eddie slapped it playfully and said, "You're not still thinking about taking advantage of others, are you?"
The Heliolisk scratched the back of its head with its little claws and smiled sheepishly, neither denying nor admitting it.
After the other Pokémon had dispersed, Eddie said to it, "Come with me."
The Heliolisk nodded obediently and followed Eddie in a hopping manner.
After returning home, Eddie put his hand on the Heliolisk and used the Golden Finger energy to check its physical condition.
After evolution, the original energy of the Heliolisk has increased significantly, and its hidden energy circuit has also been greatly expanded.
The Heliolisk's hidden energy circuit is on its neck fringes, with circles and layers upon layers, which is very complicated.
But what surprised Eddie was that although it had evolved to its final form, the complexity of the Heliolisk's hidden energy circuit was still not as good as Selene's.
You have to know that Selene was not cultivated bit by bit by Eddie from Ralts. A lot of its potential has been wasted, but even so, Selene still has the advantage.
Eddie didn't know if all Gardevoir were like this or just Selene. After all, he hadn't seen the hidden energy circuits of other Gardevoirs.
"Why not see what her Gardevoir is like next time I meet Caitlin!" Eddie thought so.
In order to find out the specific changes of the Heliolisk, Eddie took out the energy detection instrument given to him by Lysandre and examined the Heliolisk.
Soon the energy rating of the Heliolisk appeared on the screen of the instrument.
Heliolisk
Energy storage: A-
Energy quality: A-
Eddie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that with the help of Zapdos, it had made such great progress in just a few days and even achieved double A- achievements.
Especially in terms of energy storage, it has almost caught up with Selene, but the energy quality is still far behind, all thanks to Zapdos!
Eddie put away the energy detection device, then patted the Heliolisk's head with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, you are still smart."
If it wasn't smart, wouldn't it be unable to get any benefits from Zapdos? Look at Selene and Enamorus, both of which are Fairy-type Pokémon, but Selene didn't go to Enamorus to get any benefits. What a waste of resources!
However, Landorus and Enamorus had already helped Eddie a lot, so he would not ask for anything else, so as to avoid making these Legendary Pokémon think that he was greedy.
It is still very important to leave a good impression on the Legendary Pokémon.
However, although Eddie did not encourage his Pokémon to take advantage of the Legendary Pokémon, it would be a different story if the Legendary Pokémon came to him on their own initiative.
After a few days of recuperation, the conditions of Landorus and Enamorus were much better. They didn't want to stay in the room all the time, so they came out to get some fresh air.
At this time, Chikorita was jumping around in the special flower field preferred by the Flabébé line in front of the house, and from time to time she used the Grassy Terrain move to nourish the flowers in the field.
The flowers that were nourished suddenly became energetic and beautiful.
This behavior of the Chikorita attracted the attention of Enamorus. It slowly flew over the flower field and silently looked at the happy Chikorita below.
The Chikorita shuttling back and forth among the flowers look like a cute grass elf.
The Chikorita did not notice the arrival of Enamorus, and continued to play happily in the flower field and nourish the flowers with the Grassy Terrain.
I don't know how much time had passed, but Enamorus suddenly spoke.
"Little guy, do you like flowers and plants?"
Chikorita was startled by the sudden sound and immediately fell to the ground. When it found out that it was Enamorus, tears welled up in its eyes.
When facing the Enamorus, the inexperienced Chikorita expressed fear.
⊙0⊙ Enamorus was also speechless after seeing Chikorita's reaction. Are you trying to scam me?
Of course, Chikorita did not have the courage to touch Enamorus's porcelain. It stood up from the ground and answered Enamorus's question, and the answer was naturally affirmative.
"Can I take another look at your Grassy Terrain?" Enamorus said again.
"Chikorita~"
Chikorita nodded in agreement readily, and then began to jump around in the flower field again, while using the Grassy Terrain at the same time.
Looking at its cheerful appearance, Enamorus's mood couldn't help but improve.
Enamorus discovered that the Grassy Terrain of Chikorita was indeed very different. It contained a very strong vitality, so it couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After performing the Grassy Terrain move, Chikorita looked at Enamorus eagerly, as if saying, "Praise me quickly!" Because Eddie would always praise it after it performed the Grassy Terrain move.
However, Enamorus did not understand what Chikorita meant. It looked at Chikorita and asked, "Let me give you a gift."
Gift?
When Chikorita heard this, she nodded happily. She loved gifts the most!
I saw Enamorus rummaging in the cloud under its body, and soon took out a ball of light emitting green light, which was as big as Eddie's head.
Looking at this ball of light, Chikorita suddenly felt a desire to possess it for herself.
Just as Chikorita was about to ask what that was, she saw the ball of light slowly transform into green rays floating towards her.
Chikorita was not afraid, but took a step forward eagerly.
Each ray of light fell on the buds on the neck of the Chikorita, and then slowly penetrated inside.
When all the green light enters the buds, the buds on the neck of the Chikorita become even greener, as if they are beautiful gems embellishing its neck.
"Chiko rita?"
Chikorita slowly opened her eyes and was a little confused for a moment, not understanding what had just happened.
Seeing this, Enamorus smiled and said to Chikorita: "Try using Grassy Terrain again."
Although Chikorita didn't understand why, she still did as she was told.
I saw green energy rippling in the flower field, and the flower buds in the special flower field preferred by the Flabébé line slowly opened their petals.
???
Seeing this scene, Chikorita was confused. Am I so powerful? I didn't even know it!
In fact, the reason why Chikorita was able to do this was because Enamorus used her power as the God of Spring to awaken Chikorita's hidden innate power.
If the final evolution of Chikorita, the Meganium, becomes strong enough, it will have the ability to regenerate plants, but the tiny Chikorita certainly cannot do that.
However, when Enamorus was observing Chikorita just now, he was surprised to find that Chikorita had begun to slowly awaken this ability.
However, without external help, it would probably take Chikorita a very long time to awaken this innate ability, so Enamorus used her power to help it.
However, the Chikorita is still very young, and its ability is not strong enough. It can only make the flower buds bloom. If it wants to bring flowers and trees back to life, it needs constant training and practice.
Enamorus simply explained Chikorita's talent to it, but perhaps it was too complicated and Chikorita didn't really understand it.
It only knows one thing, that is, it has become powerful!
After saying all this, Enamorus left.
On the other side, Eddie checked the body of the Heliolisk and brought it out.
He planned to go to Prosper Peak with his Pokémon. He planned to cut down all the fruit trees on the mountain that had failed grafting today.
But just as he walked out of the yard, he saw a Fletchinder flying over, holding a package almost as big as its body in its claws.
It turned out that someone had sent a package for Eddie to the Bluebird Orphanage, so Eli asked Fletchinder to deliver it.
Because the orphanage has to send things over from time to time, there is now basically a Fletchling or Fletchinder stationed there every day to help deliver things.
Just when Eddie was about to open the package, Chikorita came running over and circled around Eddie.
"Chiko~Chiko~Chikorita~"
Eddie had no choice but to comfort it and said, "Okay, wait a moment, we can talk later. I'll take a look at it first and wrap it up."
After hearing this, Chikorita had no choice but to squat aside obediently and wait for Eddie quietly.
After Eddie opened the package, he was surprised to find that inside was the Sun Stone that he had traded for.
"This is such a coincidence!" Eddie said with a wry smile.
The Sun Stone arrived just as the Heliolisk finished its evolution.
However, the quality of this Sun Stone is indeed similar to the Water Stone he sent out.
Forget it, just treat it as a collection. Whether it's the Sun Stone or the Water Stone, they seem to be the same.
