Seeing the Tropius slowly landing in front of him, Eddie walked over, patted its neck and said, "Tropius, thank you for your help."
"Tropius~"
The Tropius narrowed its eyes and smiled gently at Eddie, indicating that it was okay and that Eddie could ask for its help anytime.
After finishing breakfast, Heliolisk lay on the big rock in front of the courtyard gate again, squatting on it motionlessly, with its head facing the sun and its neck frills opened to the extreme. Eddie could even see a trace of electric current flashing on its neck frills from time to time.
"Heliolisk!" Eddie called him.
"Helioptile~"
Heliolisk looked down at Eddie and saw a Tropius following Eddie. He knew that Eddie had asked Master Ramos for help, so he quickly jumped off the rock.
"Helioptile~Helioptile~"
Heliolisk scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a little ashamed. He thought that he was really stupid. After spending so much time, he still couldn't understand Sunny Day.
Eddie patted his head and said, "Oh, what's the big deal? You haven't come into contact with this skill before, and it's not a Grass-type or Fire-type Pokémon. It's normal that you can't comprehend it. There's nothing to reflect on. I've seen your efforts."
"Helioptile~Helioptile~"
After hearing Eddie's comfort, Heliolisk's mood indeed improved a lot. He grinned at Eddie and expressed his gratitude to the Tropius, thanking the Tropius for taking the time to come over.
"Okay, let's get started." Eddie clapped his hands.
Eddie had already told the Tropius and Heliolisk in advance about the points that needed to be paid attention to when learning skills. He put his hand on the Tropius's back and then transferred the golden finger energy into the Tropius's body bit by bit. Ever since Eddie's cheat code was upgraded, he has been able to use it to more clearly sense the structure of the Pokémon's body. So soon, the entire energy circuit of the Tropius was clearly reflected in Eddie's mind.
"Tropius, that's enough!" Eddie said.
"Tropius~"
The Tropius nodded, and then the four leaf-like wings behind it began to emit white light. Then a red energy ball condensed at the corner of its mouth, and soon it became as big as a football. With a "whoosh" sound, the energy ball was thrown into the sky by the Tropius, exploded in the air, and turned into star-like energy.
The next second, the sun suddenly became scorching, and the dazzling sunlight shone directly down, stinging Eddie so much that he subconsciously closed his eyes. However, his golden finger accurately captured the operation rules of the original energy in the Tropius's body when it used Sunny Day, and how it resonated with the external attribute energy. Before Eddie's golden finger was advanced, he had to spend a lot of effort every time to capture this pattern, and he also had to spend energy to record it completely, but now, after just one time, he has remembered half of it.
"Tropius, do it again!" Eddie said.
"Tropius~"
The Tropius nodded and used Sunny Day again. The effect of the last Sunny Day has not expired yet, so the second use actually has no effect. The sunlight did not become more intense as a result, but Eddie has completely memorized the operating rules of the Pokémon's body's original energy when using this skill.
Retracting the golden finger energy and taking his hand away from the Tropius, Eddie said to Heliolisk: "Okay, Heliolisk, it's your turn."
"Helioptile~"
Heliolisk walked to Eddie and stood obediently.
Eddie placed his hand on its body and input the golden finger energy at the same time: "Feel it well and remember the trajectory of my energy in your body."
"Helioptile~Helioptile~"
Heliolisk nodded seriously.
Eddie guided the Heliolisk very slowly so that it could remember the instructions well. However, the Heliolisk's brain was not as flexible as that of humans, and its memory was not as strong. So it took Eddie more than an hour to teach it before it could barely remember the instructions.
"Huh~" Eddie took a deep breath, took his hand away from Heliolisk and said, "Now that I've remembered it, let's give it a try."
"Helioptile~"
Heliolisk nodded firmly, then raised his head to the sky. His neck frills slowly opened, and white light rippled on them. Soon, a scarlet energy ball appeared at the corner of his mouth. But this energy ball was much smaller than the one of the Tropius.
"Very good, Heliolisk, keep going!" Eddie encouraged him.
Seeing that the size of the energy ball no longer changed, Heliolisk was about to try to throw it into the sky. However, at this moment, the energy ball suddenly became smaller and smaller. Before Heliolisk could react, it "puffed" and turned into a small "flame" and went out.
Heliolisk was stunned: "What's going on?"
Eddie saw this and quickly comforted him: "This is your first time using it, it's normal to fail, just practice more and it will be fine."
Heliolisk was not discouraged. He nodded and continued to work hard, but the situation remained the same as before.
This was a problem of insufficient practice. Eddie couldn't actually help. The key was that Heliolisk couldn't achieve a good resonance between the original energy in its body and the attribute energy of the outside world.
Seeing this, the Tropius walked forward and started to discuss with Heliolisk, constantly imparting its own experience to it and telling it how it achieved resonance.
Heliolisk listened and nodded, like a humble student.
With the help and guidance of the Tropius, Eddie sat aside and watched them practice silently. In a blink of an eye, the morning passed, and Heliolisk finally learned the skill of Sunny Day, although the success rate was only half. If you want to increase your success rate, you need to practice hard.
In order to thank the Tropius, Eddie invited it to have lunch at his home at noon, and after lunch he gave it a thorough health care that lasted for more than an hour.
In the afternoon, the Tropius left Mystic Mountain happily.
Recently, the fruit trees in Mystic Mountain have not yet reached the stage of large-scale maturity, so everyone's work is relatively easy, and Eddie began to give employees holidays. But everyone can't be released at the same time, so they take turns, releasing three to four Pokémon at a time for two full days.
During these two days, they can arrange their time freely. They can lazily stay at home and take a nap, or go to the mountains to release their nature at will, or go shopping in the West District.
It was Hattrem's turn that day. She was probably the last one to have a day off, so she had no Pokémon to keep company with. She had the best relationship with Salandit, but their job functions overlapped and they couldn't take holidays together, otherwise there would be no one to do the housework. So Salandit had already had his holiday with Heliolisk a few days ago, and Hattrem had it today.
The only ones who could keep Hattrem company at home were probably two newly born Espurr.
On the first day of the holiday, Hattrem planned to visit her companions in the shelter in the West District, then take the two Espurr to the Pokémon Center for a physical examination, and finally just stroll around the West District.
It has to be said that Hattrem rarely puts herself first and always considers others, which makes Eddie feel uncomfortable. Seeing that Hattrem really planned to take the two cubs out by herself, he offered to accompany her. It happened that he also needed to go to the Pokémon Center to purchase anesthetic drugs. He just helped light up the Pokémon's hidden energy circuits two days ago, and the anesthetics at home were gone.
When Hattrem learned that Eddie was going to accompany her, she was quite happy. Although there was only one Salandit that had a good relationship with her in Mystic Mountain, it didn't mean that she liked to be alone.
So after breakfast that morning, Eddie went out with Hattrem, and Selene and Brionne also went with them. Brionne would not miss the opportunity to go out with Eddie.
After packing up their things and taking what they needed, Eddie and the others went out.
It was the first time for both Espurr to go out of Mystic Mountain. They were curious about everything along the way. They would stare at pedestrians when walking, cling to the car windows when riding in the car, and point at the dazzling array of goods on the street.
Hattrem took Eddie to the shelter first, because she wanted to give a batch of energy cubes that Salandit had just made to her friends there.
With Hattrem's introduction, the Pokémon in the shelter got to know the two Espurr that were hatched by Hattrem herself. They loved the two Espurr and gave them blessings and gifts.
In an instant, the two Espurr became the most popular people in the entire shelter. Although the gifts given by the Pokémon here were not precious things, some were even just a leaf or a stone, the two Espurr happily accepted them and asked Hattrem solemnly to keep them for them.
Psychic-type Pokémon are very good at sensing the emotions of the creatures around them, so after sensing the Pokémon's sincere love, they gradually become lively. However, there is another point. Because Pokémon like Espurr are born with strong mental power, they often need to suppress their emotions to prevent their mental power from getting out of control and hurting others.
Maybe they were having too much fun today, the male Espurr (the two Espurr are a pair of siblings) failed to control his strength well, and accidentally used his mental power to send a little Litleo flying.
The little Litleo was not hurt, but Espurr was quite frightened. Because he felt too guilty, Espurr's mood suddenly became depressed.
But no one blamed it. Instead, everyone comforted it in a very friendly way. Even the little Litleo came over to cuddle with it. Only then did little Espurr adjust his mood.
After leaving the shelter, they went to the Pokémon Center as planned.
On the way, Brionne kept pestering Eddie to buy her toys. Eddie had no choice but to buy her a few buoyancy balls, which allowed her to play with her Clauncher brothers while swimming in the reservoir.
Brionne doesn't mind, she likes everything Eddie buys for her.
Brionne has a talent for acrobatics. As soon as she got the buoyancy ball, she performed a show for Eddie and the others while balancing the buoyancy ball at the door of the store, making everyone laugh. Even passers-by couldn't help but stop.
Brionne was very excited and had no idea what social death meant. In the end, she was dragged away by Eddie amid everyone's applause.
When they arrived at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy greeted Eddie familiarly.
"Here I come!"
Calculating the time, Nurse Joy guessed that Eddie would be here in the next few days.
"Is it the same number as before?"
Eddie shook his head and said, "Take a little more this time." Then he reported the specific amount to Nurse Joy.
"It looks like you have a new Pokémon." Nurse Joy nodded with a smile.
Eddie took two the Espurr from Hattrem and placed them in front of Nurse Joy.
"Also, we need to check the bodies of these two little guys today. They were born not long ago."
Nurse Joy gently rubbed the two little Espurr's heads and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
The two Espurr were a little at a loss when they saw Nurse Joy, a stranger. They looked at Eddie, then at Hattrem, and finally ran straight back to Hattrem.
Hattrem hurried over to comfort them.
"Hattrem~Hattrem~Hattrem~""Didn't we agree before? Be good, it will be done in a moment, I'll be waiting for you here."
"Espurr~"
"Espurr~"
After hearing what Minori said, the brother and sister obediently returned to Nurse Joy, but they kept their eyes on Hattrem.
Seeing this, Nurse Joy chuckled.
"You two are so cute. It's just a physical examination. It won't take long. It's not like we'll be separated forever." She picked up the two Espurr and said, "Leave them to me." Then she turned to Wigglytuff and said, "Wigglytuff, go get Eddie some medicine."
"Wigglytuff~" Wigglytuff responded and walked towards the medicine room.
The two Espurr lay on Nurse Joy's shoulders and were taken to the treatment room. They looked at Hattrem with tears in their eyes and kept waving at her, which made Eddie laugh.
Nurse Joy checked the Pokémon's body very quickly, and a few minutes later, two Espurr were taken out again.
"I told you it would be quick," Nurse Joy said with a grin as she put the Espurr siblings back on the counter to Hattrem.
After getting the medicine, Eddie said to Nurse Joy: "Thank you for troubling me today. Goodbye."
Nurse Joy waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "You can come over anytime if you have any questions."
After coming out of the Pokémon Center, Eddie said to Hattrem, "Let's relax for the rest of the time. Do you want to go somewhere to play?"
Eddie still thought that it would be better for Hattrem to spend some time on herself, enjoy life more, and not waste time on others.
Hattrem shook her head. Although she grew up in Coumarine City, she had basically never left the vicinity of the Pokémon Shelter, so she wasn't familiar with many places in Coumarine City.
Eddie patted his chest and said confidently: "Then leave it to me."
In the past, Eddie was busy with study and and work, and was not very familiar with Coumarine City. But ever since he took Lysandre on a tour around Coumarine City that time, he has become familiar with all the interesting places in Coumarine City.
Hattrem naturally had no objection and nodded gently in agreement.
Eddie chose and chose, and finally chose a haunted house. This haunted house has become very famous in Coumarine City recently, and many people come to visit. The last time he was with Lysandre, Eddie wanted to go, but due to limited time, he was unable to go in the end.
Selene patted Eddie speechlessly and said, "Do you want to accompany Hattrem, or you just want to go yourself?"
When Eddie saw that his mother had seen through his thoughts, he scratched his head and smiled foolishly at Selene.
In this way, Eddie, Gardevoir, and Brionne took Hattrem and the two Espurr to the haunted house.
