Sure enough, when Eddie came back from school the next day at noon, he heard Selene say that Landorus and Enamorus had left.
Eddie just sighed when he heard this.
After lunch, Eddie went to Mystic Mountain to take a look before going to school.
Since Eddie is not at home, the task of digging trees has to be left entirely to the Pokémon. He has already assigned the tasks in advance, and the Pokémon just have to work step by step.
On the way to school, Eddie was thinking about a question.
Who should he turn to for energy cubes with his A-grade Berries? It's time to improve the food for the Pokémon.
This time he didn't plan to look for Naomi again; although her skills were good, she was just a student after all. For precious and expensive materials like A-grade tree fruit, Eddie still thought it would be better to find a more professional person to do it.
Should I learn how to make energy cubes myself? Eddie suddenly thought, otherwise, it would be troublesome for him to always look for this and that for the food of the Pokémon at home.
But his time is very limited now. He has to go to school and manage the orchard at the same time. He also has to spend a lot of time every day helping Pokémon and fruit trees to sort out their energy. He hardly has any free time at all.
Making energy blocks is not an easy task, and fully utilizing the effectiveness of A-level tree fruit is even more difficult. This requires a lot of time to practice.
Eddie simply can't spare the time!
"Ah..." Eddie sighed, "Let's take our time in learning how to make energy cubes."
After school in the afternoon, Eddie said hello to Selene and went to the Coumarine City Gym with a bag of tree fruit.
When the gym apprentice Alain saw Eddie, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Eddie, are you here to see Ramos again?"
"Yes, where is Ramos? Is he in the garden?" Eddie asked.
When Alain heard this, he said in distress, "Hey, don't mention it. Recently, Ramos has been getting so annoyed by the Alolan Exeggutor that he's almost losing his temper."
It turned out that someone had given Ramos an Alolan Exeggutor recently, but Ramos did not expect that the Alolan Exeggutor was pregnant, and its temper became very bad because of it, and it would have small conflicts with Ramos from time to time.
After all, Ramos is not young anymore, and he can't stand such hardship, so he has been in a bad mood these two days.
"Is that so?" Eddie was a little worried after hearing what Alain said, "Is Ramos okay?"
Alain said: "Nothing is wrong, he just doesn't feel well, probably because he's tired."
"I'm going to go see Ramos." After learning the location of Ramos from Alain, Eddie rushed over immediately.
Ramos has a garden specifically for Pokémon. When Eddie walked to the door, he heard anxious cries coming from inside.
Seeing that the gate of the garden was open, Eddie walked straight in, and then saw Ramos trying to comfort an Alolan Exeggutor lying on the ground.
Needless to say, this should be the one that Alain mentioned.
The Alolan Exeggutor is a sub-branch of the Exeggutor. Unlike ordinary Grass-type and Psychic-type Exeggutor, they have the dual attributes of Grass and Dragon. Their birth is based on the special climate environment of the Alola region.
Normally, the Alolan Exeggutor has a very gentle personality. This one probably became anxious and restless because it was pregnant and suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment.
In the past few days, Ramos has tried many methods to appease the Alolan Exeggutor, but the effects are not obvious. As long as there is a little movement, the Alolan Exeggutor will be disturbed and make uneasy sounds.
"Ramos." Eddie called softly.
"It's Eddie." Ramos turned his head and saw that it was Eddie, and said with a tired look.
Seeing a stranger appear, the Alolan Exeggutor immediately became anxious again, and the three heads on its head kept twisting back and forth, as if they were having an argument.
Seeing this, Eddie released the Chikorita.
"Chikorita, try to calm the Alolan Exeggutor down."
"Chiko~"
Chikorita responded happily, and then began to emit bursts of fresh and refreshing scent.
Sniff sniff…
The three heads of the Alolan Exeggutor sniffed, and indeed, they calmed down a little under the soothing smell.
Chikorita's scent used to just calm people down before, but after awakening its racial ability with the help of Enamorus, its scent can now calm the excessive emotions of people or Pokémon and soothe the hearts of Pokémon.
"Chikor~ikorita~"
Chikorita ran to the Alolan Exeggutor with a cheerful step, shook its head, and the leaves on its head fell off with a "click".
"Chikorita..." Eddie wanted to stop her, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Forget it, just let it go.
Chikorita pushed its leaf towards the Alolan Exeggutor. The Alolan Exeggutor could not refuse its kindness, so it chewed and ate the leaf under the Chikorita's expectant gaze.
After eating the leaves, the Alolan Exeggutor's mood became more stable.
"Chiko~Chikorita~"
Chikorita was very happy to see this.
The Alolan Exeggutor seemed to sense the goodwill of the Chikorita. It stretched out its three heads and approached the Chikorita one by one.
"Chiko~Chiko~"
As a result, the Chikorita suddenly became excited. The expression on its little face looked like it was constipated. It quickly used Photosynthesis to produce another leaf and fed it to the Alolan Exeggutor again.
The Alolan Exeggutor accepts everything. It will eat any Chikorita leaves given to it. By the time it eats the third Chikorita leaf, it has been squeezed dry.
But at this time, the Alolan Exeggutor's anxiety had been completely calmed down.
really!
Eddie walked over helplessly and picked up Chikorita who was lying on the ground.
"Will you still be like this in the future?"
"Chiko~"
Chikorita responded weakly, her little eyes full of innocence.
Ramos looked at the Chikorita in Eddie's arms and said, "You Chikorita are extremely talented!"
Eddie smiled and said, "She does have some talent."
Selene nodded: "Not bad, train her well."
Seeing that the Alolan Exeggutor was finally calmed down, Ramos's expression became noticeably more relaxed.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have almost lost my life."
Eddie said: "The Alolan Exeggutor just can't adapt to the new environment. It will be fine after a while."
Ramos nodded without saying anything else, then took Eddie out of the garden.
"What's the matter that you came to see me today?" Ramos said as he walked.
"I'm here today to ask you to introduce me to a breeder who is good at making energy cubes." Eddie said.
Ramos looked at Eddie in surprise and said, "Didn't you ask one of your seniors to help you make the energy cube before? Why do you need me to introduce it again?"
Eddie handed the bag in his hand to Ramos and said, "This is the gift I brought for you."
Ramos took the bag doubtfully, opened it and saw that it was filled with fruits.
He picked up a fruit, smelled it, and took an uncertain bite.
"A-level tree fruit?"
Eddie smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is the A-level fruit. I would like to hire a breeder who can make energy cubes with the A-level fruit."
Ramos asked in confusion, "Where did it come from? Wasn't your A-level fruit tree transplanted not long ago? How could it bear fruit so soon? And this fruit is not just the Petaya Berry."
"Due to some special reasons, I got some A-level fruit trees, and they all bore fruit." Eddie replied hesitantly.
Ramos looked at Eddie in surprise, then just nodded slightly, with no intention of asking further questions.
Eddie didn't treat Ramos as an outsider, so he didn't want to hide too much from Ramos, but when he saw that Ramos didn't continue to ask, he didn't take the initiative to say it.
"I accept the fruit. Tomorrow is the weekend, you don't have to go to school, right? Come to me, I will take you to meet someone." Ramos said.
"Okay!" Eddie smiled brightly when he heard that. "Should I prepare anything or bring something with me tomorrow?"
"You don't need to bring anything!" Ramos glared at Eddie unhappily.
Today, Eddie stayed at Ramos's place for a while longer and did not return to Mystic Mountain until dark.
The next morning, Eddie rode Captain Talonflame to the Coumarine Gym, but Ramos did not take him with him immediately. Instead, he asked Eddie to have breakfast with him, and then he hesitated until almost noon before setting off.
Ramos rode his Tropius and took Eddie all the way to the east of Coumarine City. They soon flew out of Coumarine City and stopped only when they saw the sea.
Eddie saw a small town by the sea. The town should not have many people, but it looked very wealthy because every household here had beautifully built houses.
Ramos took Eddie through the town and finally stopped in front of a house by the sea.
"We're here!" Ramos said.
"Is it here?" Eddie whispered.
The house in front of me is not big, it is just an ordinary red brick house, but there seems to be a very large garden behind the house, or it would be more accurate to say a botanical garden.
"Brian! Brian? I'm here, open the door!"
Just when Eddie was wondering who lived here, Ramos stood at the door and shouted loudly.
It was the first time that Eddie saw Ramos like this, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
But he always felt that the name Brian sounded a little familiar!
At this time, a beautiful and graceful Swanna descended from the sky, landed calmly in front of the door, and greeted Ramos familiarly.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Eddie always felt that when the Swanna looked at him, there was a vague sense of oppression on it.
Then, the door of the red brick house creaked open, and an old man in a gray apron walked out.
The old man's hair is half snow-white and half golden, combed neatly behind his head. Although he looks quite old, he has an upright posture and you can tell at a glance that he is a healthy old man.
"I know it's you who is here. Can you please stop standing at my door and shouting every time? Can't you knock on the door?" the old man said unhappily.
"Can you really hear me knocking on the door?" Ramos retorted.
While the two old men were arguing, Eddie's brain had already shut down because he had recognized the identity of the old man in front of him.
Mr. Brian, the current Water-type Elite Four member of the Kalos region. No wonder he always felt that the name Brian sounded familiar.
No wonder the Swanna has such an oppressive feeling, it turns out to be the Pokémon of the Elite Four member!
Because the time of travel was relatively early, the Elite Four in the Kalos region now are not the same people as in Eddie's memory. Only Brian is the same as the one in Eddie's memory.
But Siebold is also very young now, only in his teens.
However, as far as Eddie knows, Mr. Brian is currently in a semi-retired state and generally does not appear in public. Unexpectedly, he actually lives in a small town near Coumarine City!
Moreover, Ramos also knew Mr. Brian, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
While Eddie was in a daze, Mr. Brian looked at Ramos and asked, "Who is this little guy?"
Brian has known Ramos for more than 30 years, so he naturally knows everything about Ramos. He knows that Ramos has a pair of twin grandchildren, but he has never heard that he has other younger generations.
Could it be a new gym apprentice?
Ramos replied, "A junior. I'm bringing him to see you today."
Brian was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Eddie a few more times.
Although the old man Ramos has helped many young trainers over the years, this is the first time that he has brought someone to him like today.
At the same time, Eddie was also confused. He came to see a breeder today. Could it be that the breeder that Ramos wanted to introduce was Mr. Brian? But he had never heard that Mr. Brian was a breeder!
