After arriving in Coumarine City, Eddie separated from Teacher Omura, while Fiona and Amber moved into the Pokémon Center.
Originally, Eddie wanted to invite the two to live directly at his house. After all, he was just a little kid, and there was no need to be shy about anything. But Fiona refused. She was not the type of person who would easily trouble others. She felt that if she and Amber lived at Eddie's house, it would cause trouble for him.
Since they were unwilling, Eddie certainly wouldn't force them, so he had to take Selene and the others back to the Blue Bird Orphanage and made an appointment with Fiona and the others to invite them to his home another day.
It is summer vacation now, so the children don't have to go to school. Eddie originally thought that they were all at home, but he didn't expect that when he returned to the orphanage, he found that there was not a single child there, not even the youngest Lucas.
Eleanor was the only one at home in the entire orphanage.
Eddie originally wanted to distribute the gifts he brought from Lumiose City to the children, but who would have thought that he would end up with nothing.
After asking Eleanor, Eddie found out that the children had followed Eli to Eli's orchard to help with the work.
Eleanor was very happy to see Eddie come back. She took Eddie aside and asked him some questions about the Berry exhibition. Eddie answered them one by one.
After chatting with Eleanor for a while, Eddie handed all the gifts to Eleanor to arrange, and he took Selene and the others to his orchard.
The eyesight of the Talonflame was very good. They spotted Eddie and his group walking towards his orchard from a long distance. Then a group of them flew over Eddie's head, chirping excitedly one after another, and the surrounding area suddenly became lively.
"Everyone, we're back!" Eddie waved hard into the air.
"Hey beep~Hey beep~"
The Helioptile also imitated Eddie and greeted the Talonflame in the sky.
"Yeah~"
Captain Talonflame flapped his wings and descended from the air, slowly landing in front of Eddie, motioning Eddie to sit on his back.
After Eddie climbed up, he patted Captain Talonflame's neck and said, "Thank you for your help!"
"Ah~~~"
Captain Talonflame let out a long cry and soared into the sky carrying Eddie on his back. Selene, Brionne, Helioptile, and Larvitar each rode on the back of a Talonflame and followed the Captain Talonflame to fly towards the top of Mystic Mountain.
As for the Purrloin and the three Ghost-type Pokémon, Eddie did not release them. After all, they were not familiar with the Talonflame yet.
In the orchard on Mystic Mountain.
Eli was helping the Scatterbug line with Oliver, Max, Diana, and Arthor. They picked up the branches trimmed by the Scatterbug line and piled them aside. Then the strong Pokémon, Nidoking and Nidoqueen, broke the branches into small pieces and sent them for composting after they were dried.
Daisy was playing with Lucas, who had just learned to walk, under the shade of a tree, and the idle Vaporeon was watching them.
At this moment, the sky suddenly heard the excited cries of the Talonflame. Oliver looked up and said in surprise, "Is Brother Eddie back?"
After saying that, he threw the branch in his hand and ran quickly towards the direction of the yard. Seeing this, Diana and Arthor also threw away the work in their hands and ran out following Oliver.
Max shouted angrily, "Where are you going? The work is not finished yet!"
"We'll do it later!"
Oliver's voice came from a distance.
Max stamped her feet and said angrily, "Really? You just like to give up halfway!"
Eli shook his head helplessly and said, "Let them go. There's not much work anyway. Pokémon are usually very hardworking, so there's not much for us to do. If you want to go, you can go. I'll do the rest of the work by myself."
Max pouted and said, "I'm not going. I'd better accompany you to finish the work first."
Eddie had just gotten down from Captain Talonflame's body, and then he saw Arthor rushing towards him like a small cannonball.
"Brother Eddie, you're back. Did you bring me a gift?"
Before leaving, Eddie agreed with the children that he would bring them gifts, so the children were looking forward to Eddie's return.
Eddie grabbed Arthor who was flying towards him and said, "I brought it, I brought it. How could I not bring it? I left the gifts with Eleanor. It's your fault that you were not at home!"
"Ah? Why is this happening..."
Oliver, who followed closely, immediately wailed, and Diana, who was usually quiet, also looked disappointed.
"Okay, you'll see it when you get back. Don't be so anxious." Eddie comforted them with a smile.
Next, under the guidance of several children, Eddie went to see the A-grade fruit tree planted behind the house - the Petaya Berry tree.
The Diggersby are very reliable at their work. Eddie checked and found that the fruit trees were planted well and were watered and fertilized on time.
A fruit tree that has grown for more than 800 years, even if it grows slowly, is tall enough now. Although most of the branches and leaves of the Petaya Berry tree have been cut off, Eddie believes that it will grow lush again in time.
By then, the sky above the entire yard will probably be covered by the crown of the Petaya Berry tree.
Because the yard was built on the top of a mountain, Eddie specially installed a lightning protection device to prevent safety hazards. Therefore, even if fruit trees grow in the future, there is no need to worry about the yard being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.
After sending the children away, Eddie placed his hand on the trunk of the fruit tree, then mobilized his golden finger energy to enter the body of the Petaya Berry tree and began to examine the energy diagram of this centuries-old tree.
Because Eddie transported the Petaya Berry tree back to Coumarine City as soon as he got it, he had not had time to check the energy diagram of the Petaya Berry tree.
As the golden finger energy flowed through the body of the Petaya Berry tree, its energy diagram emerged in Eddie's mind.
Looking at the huge energy diagram, Eddie couldn't help but exclaimed, it was really tall and complex, worthy of being an A-grade fruit tree. Compared with other fruit trees planted by Eddie, the energy diagram of this fruit tree was like a behemoth.
Just because it had just been transplanted, the energy in the Petaya Berry tree's energy diagram was very quiet and flowing very slowly, like an old man with unsteady steps.
In addition, Eddie also discovered a very important problem, that is, the energy in this Petaya Berry tree is very complex and its purity is pitifully low.
This is probably a common problem for all high-energy fruit trees that have accumulated over time. Because they have not been properly cultivated, they can only improve themselves by unscrupulously absorbing external energy.
The end result is that the energy rating does go up, but the purity of the energy will also go down.
The energy diagram of the Petaya Berry tree is so huge and complex, and the energy contained in it is so vast. If Eddie wants to improve its purity, it will probably take a lot of effort!
