## Chapter 83: The Mysterious Friend by the Seaside
As expected, when Bai Feng returned from Schooling the next day at noon, Bai Ye told him that Landorus and Enamorus had already left.
Hearing this, Bai Feng merely sighed.
After eating lunch, Bai Feng went to Fang Cun Mountain for a look before heading to School.
With Bai Feng not at Home, the Task of digging up the trees could only be fully entrusted to the Pokémon. He had already assigned the Tasks in advance, and the Pokémon just needed to work systematically.
On the way to School, Bai Feng was pondering a Problem.
Who should he find to make his A-Rank Berries into Energy Cubes? It was time to improve the Meals for his Pokémon.
This time, he didn't plan to ask Senior Zhen Li. Although her skills were good, she was still just a Student after all. For precious materials like A-Rank Berries, Bai Feng felt it was better to find someone more professional.
*Should I learn how to make Energy Cubes myself?* Bai Feng suddenly thought. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to always ask this person or that person for the Ration of the Pokémon at Home.
However, his Time was truly limited now. He had to attend School, manage the Orchard, and spend a large amount of Time every day helping the Pokémon and Fruit Trees sort out Energy. He had almost no free Time at all.
Making Energy Cubes was not an easy Matter, and fully maximizing the Effect of A-Rank Berries was even harder. These all required spending a large amount of Time practicing.
Bai Feng simply couldn't spare the Time!
"Sigh..." Bai Feng sighed. "Learning how to make Energy Cubes will have to wait."
After Schooling in the afternoon, Bai Feng greeted Bai Ye and then carried a Bag of Berries to the Celadon City Gym.
A Sheng, the Gym Apprentice, saw Bai Feng and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Bai Feng, are you here to see Grandpa Fu again?"
"Yes, where is Grandpa Fu? Is he in the Garden?" Bai Feng asked.
Upon hearing this, A Sheng said with a troubled expression, "Hey, don't mention it. Grandpa Fu is almost losing his Temper because of an Exeggutor lately."
It turned out that not long ago, someone had given Grandpa Fu an Exeggutor from the Alola Region. But Grandpa Fu hadn't expected this Exeggutor to be pregnant, and its Temper had become extremely bad because of it, causing minor issues with Grandpa Fu from time to Time.
Grandpa Fu was not young anymore, and he couldn't stand being tossed around like this, so his Spirit hadn't been very good these past two days.
"Is that so?" Bai Feng was a bit worried after hearing A Sheng's words. "Is Grandpa Fu okay?"
A Sheng said, "He's fine, just low on Spirit, probably tired."
"I'll go see Grandpa Fu."
After learning Grandpa Fu's Location from A Sheng, Bai Feng immediately hurried over.
Grandpa Fu had an enclosure specifically used to house Pokémon. When Bai Feng walked to the Doorway, he heard sounds of restless cries coming from inside.
Seeing that the enclosure's Door was open, Bai Feng walked straight in and immediately saw Grandpa Fu trying hard to soothe an Alolan Exeggutor lying on the Ground.
Needless to say, this should be the one A Sheng mentioned.
Alolan Exeggutor is a subspecies of Exeggutor. Unlike ordinary Grass Type and Psychic Type Exeggutor, they possess the dual Grass and Dragon Type. Their birth is based on the special Climate Environment of the Alola Region.
Generally, Alolan Exeggutor have very gentle Personalities. This one was probably restless because it was pregnant and had suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar Environment.
These past few days, Grandpa Fu had used many Methods to soothe the Exeggutor, but the Effect was not significant. As long as there was the slightest disturbance, the Exeggutor would be startled and emit restless cries.
"Grandpa Fu!" Bai Feng called softly.
"Oh, it's Bai Feng." Grandpa Fu turned his Head and said with a tired look when he saw it was Bai Feng.
Seeing a Stranger appear, the Exeggutor immediately became restless again. Its three Heads on top kept twisting and turning, seemingly having a dispute.
Seeing this, Bai Feng sent out Chikorita.
"Chikorita, try to soothe the Exeggutor's Emotion."
"Chiko~"
Chikorita responded cheerfully, and immediately began to emit bursts of fresh and invigorating Scent from its body.
Sniff sniff sniff...
The Exeggutor's three Heads twitched their noses. Indeed, under the soothing effect of this Scent, their Emotions calmed down slightly.
The Scent Chikorita emitted before could at most make people feel calm and peaceful, but after awakening its Species Ability with Enamorus's help, its Scent was already able to calm the intense Emotions of people or Pokémon and soothe the Minds of Pokémon.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Chikorita stepped with cheerful steps and ran to the Exeggutor's side, shaking its Head. With a 'snap', a Leaf on its Head fell off.
"Chikorita..." Bai Feng originally wanted to stop it, but swallowed the words back.
Forget it, let it go.
Chikorita pushed its Leaf towards the Exeggutor. The Exeggutor was unable to refuse the kind offer, and then, under Chikorita's expectant gaze, chewed it up and ate it.
After eating the Leaf, the Exeggutor's Emotions became even more stable.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Chikorita was extremely happy seeing this Situation.
The Exeggutor seemed to sense Chikorita's Kindness, extended its three Heads, and nuzzled Chikorita one by one.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
With this, Chikorita immediately got energetic. The expression on its little face was like it was straining, and soon it squeezed out another Leaf using Photosynthesis and fed it to the Exeggutor again.
The Exeggutor took whatever was given, eating whatever Chikorita gave it. By the time it ate the third piece, Chikorita was already drained.
However, at this Time, the Exeggutor's restless Emotions had been completely soothed.
Indeed!
Bai Feng walked over helplessly and picked up the Chikorita lying limp on the Ground.
"Let's see if you do this again."
"Chiko~"
Chikorita responded weakly, its little eyes full of innocence.
Grandpa Fu looked at the Chikorita in Bai Feng's arms and said, "This Chikorita of yours is exceptionally talented!"
Bai Feng smiled and said, "It does have some Talent."
Grandpa Fu nodded, "Not bad, cultivate it well."
Seeing that the Exeggutor was finally soothed, Grandpa Fu's expression was clearly much more relaxed.
"Thanks to you, otherwise this old life of mine almost couldn't take it anymore."
Bai Feng said, "The Exeggutor is just not adapted to the new Environment. It will be fine after some Time passes."
Grandpa Fu nodded and didn't say anything more, then led Bai Feng out of the enclosure.
"What Matter brings you to see me today?" Grandpa Fu said while walking.
"I came today to ask for your help in introducing a Breeder who is skilled at making Energy Cubes," Bai Feng said.
Grandpa Fu looked at Bai Feng in surprise and said, "Didn't you ask one of your Seniors to help make your previous Energy Cubes? Why do you need me to introduce someone again?"
Bai Feng handed the Bag in his hand to Grandpa Fu and said, "This is a Gift I brought for you."
Grandpa Fu took the Bag doubtfully, opened it, and saw that it was full to the brim with Berries.
He picked up a Fruit, smelled it, and then took a bite uncertainly.
"A-Rank Berry?"
Bai Feng smiled and nodded, "That's right, they are A-Rank Berries. I want to find a Breeder who can make Energy Cubes using A-Rank Berries."
Grandpa Fu asked puzzledly, "Where did they come from? Didn't you just transplant that A-Rank Fruit Tree not long ago? Did it bear fruit so quickly? Also, these Fruits aren't just Dragon Eye Fruit."
"Due to some special reasons, I obtained some more A-Rank Fruit Trees, and they all bore fruit," Bai Feng replied hesitantly.
Grandpa Fu looked at Bai Feng in surprise, then just nodded slightly, having no intention of continuing to ask.
Bai Feng didn't treat Grandpa Fu as an outsider, so he originally didn't intend to hide too much from him, but seeing that Grandpa Fu didn't continue asking, he didn't proactively say it either.
"I'll accept the Fruits. Tomorrow is the weekend, you don't have to go to School, right? Come here, and I'll take you to meet someone," Grandpa Fu said thus.
"Alright!" Upon hearing this, a brilliant Smile immediately bloomed on Bai Feng's face. "Then should I prepare anything for tomorrow, or bring something?"
"You don't need to bring anything!" Grandpa Fu glared at Bai Feng irritably.
Bai Feng stayed a bit longer at Grandpa Fu's place today, only returning to Fangxing Mountain after dark.
Early the next morning, Bai Feng rode Talonflame Captain to Bi Yi Dojo. But Grandpa Fu didn't immediately set off with him. Instead, he had Bai Feng accompany him for Breakfast, and then dawdled until it was almost noon before setting off.
Grandpa Fu rode his Tropius, taking Bai Feng all the way flying east of Couriway Town. Soon they flew out of Couriway Town, only stopping when they saw the Sea.
Bai Feng saw a small Town by the Seaside. The Town's population shouldn't be large, but they all seemed very wealthy, as the houses in every household were built very beautifully.
Grandpa Fu took Bai Feng through the Town and finally stopped in front of a house by the Sea.
"We're here!" Grandpa Fu said.
"It's here?" Bai Feng said in a low voice.
The house before his eyes wasn't large, just an ordinary Red Brick House, but behind the house, there seemed to be a very large Garden, or rather, a Botanical Garden would be more accurate.
"Mr. Blaine! Mr. Blaine? I'm here, quickly open the Door for me!"
Just as Bai Feng was puzzled about who exactly lived here, Grandpa Fu stood at the Doorway and started shouting loudly.
It was the first Time Bai Feng had seen Grandpa Fu like this, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
But the Name Mr. Blaine, he always felt it was a bit familiar!
At this moment, a beautiful and elegant Swanna descended from the sky, landing gracefully in front of the Door, and greeted Grandpa Fu familiarly.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Feng always felt that when the Swanna looked at him, it carried a faint sense of pressure.
Immediately after, the Red Brick House's Door opened with a creak, and only to see an old man wearing a gray Apron walked out.
The old man's Hair was half snow-white and half golden yellow, neatly and tidily combed back. Although he didn't look young, his posture was straight, and one could tell at a glance that he was a healthy old man.
"I knew you were coming. Can you not always stand at my Doorway and shout loudly? Can't you knock on the Door?" the old man said irritably.
"Can you really hear me if I knock?" Grandpa Fu retorted.
Just as the two old men were arguing endlessly, Bai Feng's brain had already frozen, because he had already recognized the Identity of the old man before him.
Mr. Blaine, the current Water Type Elite Four of the Kalos Region. No wonder he always felt the Name Mr. Blaine was familiar before.
Also no wonder that Swanna would have that sense of pressure. It turned out it was an Elite Four's Pokémon!
Because he transmigrated relatively early, the Elite Four of the Kalos Region now were not the same group of people as in Bai Feng's Memory. Only one, Yan Kai, was the same as in Bai Feng's Memory.
But Yan Kai was also very young now, only around twenty years old.
However, as far as Bai Feng knew, Mr. Blaine was currently in a semi-retired state and basically wouldn't appear in public under normal circumstances. He didn't expect him to actually live in a small Town near Couriway Town!
Moreover, Grandpa Fu also knew Mr. Blaine, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Just as Bai Feng was spacing out, Mr. Blaine looked at Grandpa Fu and asked, "Who is this little fellow?"
Mr. Blaine and Grandpa Fu had known each other for over thirty years, so he naturally knew everything about Grandpa Fu very clearly. He knew Grandpa Fu had a pair of twin grandchildren (boy and girl), but hadn't heard he had other Younger Generation.
Could it be a new Gym Apprentice?
Grandpa Fu replied, "A Junior. I brought him today to meet you."
Hearing this, Mr. Blaine was a bit surprised and couldn't help but look at Bai Feng a few more times.
Although this old fellow, Fu Ade, had helped quite a few young Trainers over the years, bringing someone before himself like today was still the first Time.
At the same Time, Bai Feng was also puzzled. He came today to see a Breeder. Could it be that the one Grandpa Fu was introducing was Mr. Blaine? But he hadn't heard that Mr. Blaine was also a Breeder!
