There was actually nothing much to do on the first day of school. The students just got together to chat and picked up their textbooks. The teacher didn't give any serious classes, and the day just passed by so casually.
As soon as he returned home, Eddie saw Chikorita running out of the yard and jumping into Eddie's arms and acting coquettishly.
"Chik~Chikorita ~" Why did you come back so late? I missed you so much...
Chikorita coquettishly bounced around in Eddie's arms.
Today was the first day to report to school, and Eddie was worried that the Pokémon would be bored if he took them with him, so he let them all stay at home, and he did not come back at noon. When it came to Eddie's place, it was the first time that Chikorita hadn't seen Eddie for most of the day. It was in a restless mood the whole day and would run to the gate of the yard from time to time to see if Eddie had returned.
Eddie stroked Chikorita's back and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me tomorrow."
"Chiko ~" Really?
Chikorita looked at Eddie with her big watery eyes, with a teardrop hanging in her eye socket.
"Really? I'm not lying to you." Eddie promised.
"Chikori ~Chikorita ~" Okay then, you must take me with you tomorrow.
Chikorita got down from Eddie's arms reluctantly.
After Eddie got home and greeted Pokémon, he went into the room and turned on the computer. He planned to go online to see if he could find any clues about the high-quality Sun Stone.
Seeing that the hidden energy circuits of the Helioptile were about to light up, if the evolution stone was not ready, it would delay its evolution.
Chikorita followed Eddie into the room closely. When Eddie turned on the computer and started working, it sat quietly beside him and watched.
Eddie logged onto an online trading platform. This is a formal trading platform created by the Pokémon League. Its security is guaranteed and trainers can freely trade items and information on it.
Eddie searched the evolution item section for a long time and found quite a few Sun Stones, but their quality was very average. He couldn't bear to let his Helioptile evolve with such inferior evolution stones.
In fact, Eddie posted a bounty post for high-quality evolution stones on this platform several days ago. Unfortunately, this bounty fell on deaf ears and few people responded. Those who spoke in the post were just talking nonsense.
The main reason is that Eddie's requirements for the quality of evolution stones are too high, so even if others really have them, they are reluctant to sell them.
Eddie once again looked through the bounty post he had sent out, but still no one responded. He thought about it, and finally took out a Water Stone, took a photo of it and uploaded it to the platform, intending to barter for it.
Eddie obtained a total of six high-quality Water Stones from the three Legendary Birds. He gave one to Lysandre and Caitlin respectively, and sold one to Ramos. He currently has three in his hands.
Eddie marked the specific quality of the Water Stone in the transaction information and attached a description, wanting to exchange it for a Sun Stone of the same quality.
Perhaps the photo of the Water Stone was too eye-catching, and as soon as Eddie sent out the transaction information, someone responded immediately.
"Is the quality of your Water Stone really the same as in the photo?" A trainer with a Popplio avatar sent a message and asked.
Eddie replied: "The photos are taken from the real thing, guaranteed to be authentic!"
After a while, the Popplio avatar sent another message and asked, "I have a Thunder Stone of slightly lower quality. Can I exchange it for it?"
Eddie thought to himself: What the hell are you dreaming about!
"I only need the Sun Stone, thank you." Eddie declined politely.
But the Popplio didn't seem to want to give up, and sent another message: "My Thunder Stone is really only slightly inferior to your Water Stone in quality. Maybe someone is willing to exchange the Sun Stone for the Thunder Stone."
Eddie took a look at the message sent by the other party and just found it funny. Before he could reply, another person sent a message asking about the Water Stone.
The message this time came from a trainer with a Kingdra avatar on his head. The other party asked: "I don't have a Sun Stone, but I have a Leaf Stone of the same quality. Can we exchange it?"
Eddie replied: "I'm sorry, I just want the Sun Stone."
The other party did not pester him like the first one did, and just replied: "Okay, I'll go and ask if there is any news about the Sun Stone, and then I'll contact you."
Eddie ended the conversation with the Kingdra trainer and saw that the Popplio was still sending messages to him, trying to persuade Eddie to use the Water Stone to exchange for the Thunder Stone. Eddie ignored him and blocked him directly.
Then another trainer with a Wigglytuff avatar asked Eddie about the Water Stone. He also didn't have the Sun Stone, so he wanted to ask if he could exchange it for the Dusk Stone.
Of course Eddie refused.
Eddie sat in front of the computer for more than an hour. During this time, many trainers sent messages to inquire about the transaction status of the Water Stone, but without exception, they did not have the Sun Stone of the same quality.
These consultants either wanted to exchange it with other evolution stones of the same quality, or simply wanted to take advantage. Some even asked Eddie if he could just buy the Water Stone with money.
Of course not! He couldn't buy other people's Sun Stones with money, so others naturally couldn't buy his Water Stones with money.
Eddie didn't turn off the computer until Selene came in and asked him to go out for breakfast.
He was about to stand up when he looked down and saw Chikorita looking up at him.
Eddie asked unexpectedly: "Have you been staying here before?"
"Chik ~Chikori ~" Yes, yes.
Chikorita walked up to Eddie and rubbed his trouser leg affectionately with her little head.
Eddie bent down, picked it up and said, "Why are you here with me? I'm too busy to take care of you."
Chikorita raised her head and looked straight at Eddie with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Eddie said helplessly: "Okay, let's go have dinner."
"Chi ~Chik~" Eat! Eat!
Chikorita cheered, twisting her body in Eddie's arms.
After dinner, Eddie gave his Pokémon and Selene a thorough health check-up. Since there were only a few Pokémon, such as the Brionne, the Helioptile, the Larvitar, the Chikorita and Selene, Eddie finished the work quickly.
Back in the room, Eddie turned on the computer again, logged into the trading platform, and was surprised to find that his private messages had reached 99+.
Eddie had no choice but to check them one by one, and finally found that most of them were invalid information. However, the information of a person with a Gyarados avatar caught Eddie's attention.
He said that he had an Awakening Stone of higher quality than Eddie's Water Stone, and wanted to ask Eddie if he could use it to exchange for the Water Stone. He also sent a photo of the Awakening Stone.
Eddie clicked on the photo and found that it was indeed an extremely high-quality Dawn Stone. It was blue-green in color, and its crystal clear texture was more beautiful than a gem.
Judging from the photo, the quality of the Dawn Stone is indeed slightly higher than Eddie's Water Stone.
Unfortunately, Eddie doesn't need the Dawn Stone.
But this person was actually the same as the Popplio before. Eddie had clearly rejected him, but he still kept sending messages to try to persuade Eddie to make a deal.
Just when Eddie was about to block him, he saw the photo of the Dawn Stone again, and Eddie suddenly felt something was wrong.
Eddie stared at the photo for a while, then enlarged it, and finally saw traces of the watermark on the photo.
This means that this photo was most likely stolen by the Gyarados user, otherwise why would he remove the watermark on the photo? The Gyarados user might also be planning to use it to cheat Eddie of the Water Stone.
It's a pity that his skills are not up to par and there are still subtle traces of watermarks on the photos.
This time, Eddie not only blocked him, but also filed a report.
Even if he wasn't a liar, Eddie wouldn't feel guilty about reporting him, because he was so annoying.
After dealing with the liar, Eddie continued to browse messages. At this time, Eddie suddenly received another message from the Kingdra trainer.
He told Eddie that the elder in his family had a Sun Stone of the same quality, but the elder did not need a Water Stone, but a Dusk Stone.
Eddie hurriedly searched for the previous information and soon found the trainer with the Wigglytuff avatar. Eddie remembered that he had a Dusk Stone in his hand.
So Eddie immediately sent him a message asking him if he wanted to trade with him, and told him the news about another trainer who had the Sun Stone.
Because it involved a simultaneous transaction between three parties, Eddie had to make everything clear in advance.
Of course Wigglytuff user agreed, so Eddie went to contact the Kingdra trainer again.
After a while, Kingdra trainer recommended his elder's account to Eddie. It was a trainer with a Dragonite avatar. Eddie added him as a friend very smoothly.
After communicating with Dragonite, Eddie signed a transaction agreement with the Wigglytuff user and Dragonite.
The agreement is drafted by the platform, and real-name authentication is required to sign the agreement. Once there is a problem in any link, the people in that link will be held accountable by the platform.

The next day, Eddie really brought Chikorita with him when he went to school.
He asked the other Pokémon if they wanted to go to school with him, but Helioptile and Selene refused. They wanted to stay at home and train because school was too boring.
Selene didn't want to go out either, but Larvitar didn't care, so Eddie had to take it and Chikorita out.
Larvitar was too conspicuous, and Eddie didn't want to attract too much attention, so he had to put it in the Poké Ball. Larvitar didn't mind, and licked the silver-gold stone that Eddie had given it in the morning with relish.
Yes, not chewing, but licking.
Because there was only a small piece of the silver-gold stone, Larvitar was reluctant to eat it all at once, so he had to hold it in the palm of his hand and lick it from time to time. By the time he went out, the small piece of silver-gold stone had been licked by him and was shining.
After entering the Poké Ball, Larvitar continued to hold the silver-gold stone and lick it.
Only Chikorita remained outside. It followed Eddie happily, skipping all the way towards the school, humming a cheerful song.
Chikorita learned the song from Brionne, but its voice is certainly not as pleasant as Brionne's, so it sounds a bit out of place.
Because of this weird singing voice, Eddie's low-key plan was ruined. Students passing by would unconsciously cast their eyes on Chikorita, because it sang so passionately that even Eddie, the trainer, attracted much attention.
When it noticed that everyone was looking at it, Chikorita was not shy at all. Instead, it sang even more vigorously. It thought that everyone must be looking at it because they liked it.
Eddie walked into the classroom with his head down almost the entire way. He didn't want to hurt Chikorita's young heart, so he could only silently endure everyone's scorching gazes.
After walking to his seat and sitting down, Eddie picked up the Chikorita and placed them on the table.
After a while, Ethan also came. He was very surprised to see Eddie's Chikorita. He took a big step towards Eddie and said:
"Eddie, you also captured a new Pokémon! It's Chikorita, not bad."
As he said this he released his own Bounsweet.
Eddie didn't expect that his Chikorita would get along so well with Ethan's Bounsweet, and he gave the other a big gift as soon as they met.
As for what the big gift is, of course it is the leaf on the top of Chikorita's head!
When the leaf on the top of Chikorita's head suddenly broke, Ethan's Bounsweet was almost scared to death. It was not until the leaf grew back that Bounsweet breathed a sigh of relief.
Eddie patted Chikorita's head helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you not to give leaves to others as gifts?"
However, Chikorita was only concerned with playing with Bounsweet and did not take Eddie's words seriously at all.
The leaves of the Chikorita have a rich and fragrant smell, which is very popular with Bounsweet, so Bounsweet arrogantly asked Ethan to help it keep them.
That's right, it was an order, and it was an order given in an arrogant manner.
Bounsweet's attitude towards Ethan is exactly the same as Furfrou's. Once its cute little face shows an arrogant expression, Ethan can't stop.
Eddie was originally curious about why Ethan suddenly fell in love with someone else. It seemed that his perverted preferences remained the same as before.
However, unlike Furfrou, Bounsweet's attitude towards other people and Pokémon is relatively friendly. Unlike Furfrou, she ignores everyone and always looks superior.
Chikorita and Bounsweet really got along well. Because they were having so much fun, both Pokémon unconsciously exuded a rich fragrance that didn't dissipate until the teacher came in.
Eddie and his classmates' homeroom teacher, Mr. Hanada, is a very capable breeder who knows all kinds of Pokémon very well.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she smelled a fragrance. She sniffed slightly and said, "Is this... the fragrance of Bounsweet?"
"No..." Then she overturned her own judgment, "There is also a hint of Chikorita in it..."
As she walked to the podium, she said, "Have any students in our class subdued Bounsweet and Chikorita?"
Upon hearing this, the classmates all turned their eyes to Eddie and Ethan, and at this time, Chikorita and Bounsweet also called out in cooperation.
Teacher Hanada smiled and said, "Since we mentioned Chikorita and Bounsweet today, why don't we talk about the knowledge related to these two Pokémon in this class."
"I think you all have heard of the prop called incense..."
