After breakfast, Director Eleanor took the children back to the Bluebird Orphanage, while Eddie went to cultivate fruit trees with the Popplio and the Helioptile.
Eddie went to Mystic Mountain, while the Popplio and the Helioptile stayed on Prosper Peak.
At noon, Eddie came back from Mystic Mountain after finishing his work. He saw the Popplio and Vaporeon huddled together, seemingly talking about something.
Eddie was about to walk over when he saw a small dark cloud suddenly appear above Vaporeon's head, and then the rain started to fall.
It turns out that the Popplio was asking Vaporeon how to use the Rain Dance skill.
The skill that the Popplio uses to water the fruit trees is Sing. Although it has made great use of this skill, it is still not as convenient and fast as the skill of using Rain Dance.
So after Vaporeon came, every time he saw it use the Rain Dance skill to water the entire orchard in a short time, he was extremely envious.
Only then did it think of learning from Vaporeon.
Vaporeon was very generous and taught very attentively, but the skill of Rain Dance did not seem to be so easy to learn. The Popplio tried again and again, but there was no cloud in the sky, not even a drop of water.
Seeing that the two of them were studying very seriously, Eddie thought for a moment and stopped, then turned around and went home to take a shower. He had created a lot of dust at Mystic Mountain, and it would be uncomfortable if he didn't go and take a shower now.
After growing for such a long time, the fruit trees on the Mystic Mountain have finally changed. Among the two batches of grafted fruit trees, one batch is almost dead, while many new buds have sprouted in the other batch.
The ones that were about to die were those that had their roots grafted onto the branches of the Cave of the Sea God fruit tree using the branches of the Prosper Peak fruit tree, and the ones that were sprouting new buds were those that had their roots grafted onto the branches of the Cave of the Sea God fruit tree using the branches of the Prosper Peak fruit tree.
Eddie felt that the group that survived the two batches was definitely closely related to the fact that the roots of Prosper Peak fruit tree's energy diagram were lit up.
The fruit trees in the Cave of the Sea God grow in an environment with extremely high energy concentration. They will gradually wither when they are unable to adapt to the low-energy environment outside.
However, the Prosper Peak fruit tree, which has a well-developed root energy diagram structure, can draw enough energy from the earth and transmit it to the branches, ensuring their growth and promoting their survival.
But the opposite is not true. It will not adapt as it should, so it will just continue to wither and die.
Today, Eddie used the golden finger to check the surviving fruit trees and found that their energy diagrams matched each other very well, and there was a tendency for them to merge into one. This made Eddie look forward to their future.
Because the energy diagrams of the grafted fruit trees were not yet stable, Eddie had no way of testing their energy ratings, but he guessed that the level should be high.
We just don't know what kind of fruit the grafted fruit trees will bear, which makes it very uncertain.
If the fruit has a high energy level but the taste is too unique, it will not be competitive compared to similar fruits. After all, everyone will choose fruits with high energy and good taste over those with strange taste.
The improvement of fruit tree varieties often requires repeated experiments. During this period, whether the new fruit trees you cultivate can produce sweet fruits or deformed fruits depends on fate.
Only by eliminating again and again can the unfavorable factors be eliminated eventually, thus cultivating Berries with first-class taste and energy level.
In this regard, Eddie still has a long way to go.
When Eddie came out of the bath, he saw that Popplio's face was still red from holding in his breath, so he couldn't help but walk over and ask:
"What's wrong? You still can't learn it?"
"Woo~"
Upon hearing this, the Popplio lowered his head in frustration.
"Shaoo ..."
Vaporeon couldn't help but comfort the Popplio. Rain Dance is a very difficult skill to learn. It is normal not to be able to learn it in one or two times. Don't be too frustrated. You will definitely get it right if you practice more!
Eddie agreed with Vaporeon's words, so he persuaded it, "Yeah, there's no need to rush. Just take your time. If one day doesn't work, try two days. If two days don't work, try three days. As long as you keep practicing, you'll eventually learn it. There's no need to rush to learn and do something."
However, the Popplio was an impatient pokemon. The more it failed to learn, the more anxious it became, and the more its patience wore out. In the end, even the Vaporeon who was teaching it was affected.
After learning for another half a day, the open space in front was almost flooded by Vaporeon's Rain Dance, and Popplio still couldn't learn this skill.
At this time, Eddie suddenly put his hand on Vaporeon's back, injected the energy of the golden finger into its body, and said to Vaporeon: "Vaporeon, use Rain Dance again."
Vaporeon was feeling comfortable at this time but was interrupted by Eddie's voice. It quickly came to its senses and used the Rain Dance skill again.
At the moment when Vaporeon used Rain Dance, the energy circuit of Vaporeon in Eddie's mind showed the vibration frequency and operation trajectory of its original energy.
That's it!
Eddie was delighted, but the Vaporeon's original energy was running too fast, and before he could fully remember the frequency and trajectory, it had returned to calm.
"Vaporeon, again please!"
"Shaoo ..."
Vaporeon nodded and used Rain Dance once again.
"Again!"
...
In this way, after Vaporeon used the Rain Dance technique repeatedly for more than ten times, Eddie finally remembered the vibration frequency and operation trajectory of its original energy at that time.
Eddie's behavior confused both the Popplio and Vaporeon. It's impossible for the Popplio to not be able to learn the skill of using Rain Dance, so you have to learn it yourself? Even if you learn it, can you use it?
Under the puzzled gazes of the Popplio and Vaporeon, Eddie put his palm on the back of the Popplio again and said to it:
"Later, I will guide the energy in your body to imitate the changes in the energy in Vaporeon's body when it uses Rain Dance. Try to see if you can remember it. If you can, remember to control the energy in your body in the same way when you practice Rain Dance next time."
"Woo woo woo~"
The Popplio immediately understood what Eddie meant and nodded excitedly.
"Then I'll start!"
It turns out that the little brain of the Popplio is not that useful. Eddie taught it to learn for a long time before it could barely remember the vibration frequency and trajectory of energy, which almost made Eddie lose his temper. (Eddie, who had little experience, didn't know that it was not that the Popplio was too stupid, but that the skill of Rain Dance itself was one of the more difficult Water-type skills to learn.)
"Remember it, then give it a try!"
"Woo~ Yeah!"
The Popplio nodded firmly, closed its eyes, and tried hard to mobilize the energy in its body, and its little face wrinkled hard.
"Come on, Popplio, you can do it!" Eddie encouraged Popplio.
Finally, as time passed, a palm-sized dark cloud appeared in the sky, but the rain had not yet fallen. The dark cloud shook twice and then dissipated.
"Ha~"
The Popplio suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath, and asked: "Did I succeed?"
Forehead...
Eddie and Vaporeon looked at each other, not knowing whether what they had just done could be considered a success.
"Did I fail?" After seeing the expressions of Eddie and Vaporeon, the Popplio became very frustrated. Am I so stupid? I can't even teach you step by step?
Seeing this, Eddie quickly comforted it, "It's not a failure, it's not a failure. The clouds have appeared just now. Although it didn't rain, it means you have mastered the key points. Just try a few more times and you will definitely succeed."
After hearing Eddie's comfort, the Popplio was no longer so depressed and began to practice enthusiastically again.
With the previous dark cloud as the starting point, after practicing a few more times, the Popplio finally succeeded in using the Rain Dance move. Although the speed was slow and the amount of water produced was small, it was still a success, right? From now on, as long as you practice well, there will be no time when you are not familiar with it.
Looking at the happy look of the Pokémon, Eddie thought: Will I have another way to teach Pokémon skills in the future?
After leaving the Popplio, Eddie walked into the orchard to inspect the Pokémon's work, but saw the Helioptile picking fruits under the tree with a small basket the size of a palm.
They are not ripe fruits, but green fruits that have just grown to the size of a thumb. These fruits are cut off because the fruits on the trees are too dense.
The Larvesta were cutting the fruits on the tree, and the Helioptile were picking them up under the tree, having a lot of fun.
"Hehehe~ One here, one there, so happy, one on the left, one on the right, my stomach is full!"
The Helioptile was singing while picking up the items, very happy.
"My little pokemon, haven't given you anything to eat or drink, why are you picking them up?" Eddie said after he approached.
When it saw Eddie coming, the singing of the Helioptile stopped abruptly. It hid the basket behind it and smiled shyly at Eddie.
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't pick up anything!"
"You're still lying to me. I've seen it all. These green fruits are bitter and astringent. Why are you picking them?"
The Helioptile replied hesitantly: "These fruits are very nutritious. It would be a pity to leave them on the ground to rot."
"So, you want to pick it up and eat it?"
No, no! The Helioptile shook its head frantically. It had no shortage of food.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey~ Can I give some to others to eat? Many wild Pokémon are starving because they can't find food."
"Okay, go ahead and pick it up. If someone gets sick from a stomachache, come to you instead of me." Eddie had no choice but to say nothing more after hearing that. However, he was wondering in his heart, could it be that the Helioptile has wild Pokémon friends?
Hmmmmmm…
How could it get sick from eating these? These are all good things! Before it was subdued by Eddie, it couldn't eat them even if it wanted to!
After Eddie warned the Helioptile, he left. After picking up a basket full of green fruits, the Helioptile quickly ran down the mountain with the basket.
When it came back, all the green fruits in the basket had disappeared. It was jumping and singing.
"La la la ~ Everyone has delicious food, so we don't have to go hungry, that's great ~ la la la ~"
Judging from the singing of the Helioptile, he is in a good mood.
