"Diantha?"
Eddie was shocked. No wonder he felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar. Isn't this the future Champion of the Kalos region?
I've traveled to this time. Was Ash born at this time? He wasn't even an embryo yet, was he?
Although the exact age difference between Ash and Diantha is unknown, Eddie guessed that it should be quite big, definitely at least ten years.
Seeing Eddie's strange expression, Diantha asked doubtfully: "Do you know me?"
It's not surprising that Diantha asked this, because in addition to being a trainer, she is also a well-known child star. It's just that in the past two years, she has not appeared on the screen for a long time because she has been focusing on being a trainer.
She thought Eddie recognized her because of this.
Eddie knew that Diantha would become both a Champion and a big star in the future, but at the moment he didn't know that she had already been famous when she was a child, so he shook his head and said:
"I don't know you, I just think your name is nice." He made up an excuse.
"Um... okay, thank you for the compliment." Diantha didn't know whether she should be happy or sad at this moment. By the way, my name is so beautiful that it can surprise people?
At this time, Clarke, an apprentice from the Coumarine Gym, came out. He saw Eddie at the door, so he greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, Eddie, you're here too!"
Eddie nodded and said, "Well, I have something to ask Master Ramos."
"Then you have to wait a moment. Master Ramos is about to start the Gym battle." Clarke nodded and looked at Diantha, "Ms. Diantha, the Gym battle is ready. Please follow me." He then called for Diantha to follow him.
"Okay, thank you." Diantha said and quickly followed Clarke.
Eddie thought about it and followed. It was a Gym battle for the future Champion. He couldn't control his curiosity and wanted to see how strong the Champion was as a teenager.
"You don't mind if I watch your Gym battle, do you?" Eddie asked after catching up with Diantha.
"Of course, as long as Mr. Ramos doesn't mind." Diantha said indifferently.
Diantha was brought all the way by Clarke to the top floor of the Coumarine Gym, where Master Ramos had been waiting for the challenger.
Diantha was brought to the center of the challenge venue and stood opposite Mr. Ramos, while Eddie sat down in the audience seats outside the venue.
Mr. Ramos glanced at Eddie from a distance, then retracted his gaze to look at Clarke in the referee's seat, signaling him to announce the rules of the game.
After clearing his throat, Clarke shouted loudly: "Now the Gym battle between challenger Diantha and the owner of the Coumarine Gym, Mr. Ramos, officially begins. Both sides can use three Pokémon. If all the Pokémon of one side are defeated, the match ends. The challenger can change Pokémon at will."
"Now it is up to the Gym Leader to release the Pokémon first."
As Clarke finished his words, Ramos threw out a Poké Ball, and a Victreebel instantly appeared on the field.
Eddie had seen this Victreebel before. It is one of the ones in Master Ramos's garden. It likes to jump around Master Ramos and is a very lively guy.
The venue of the Coumarine Gym is a Grass-type venue, surrounded by trees and fields. Victreebel is very familiar with this place. After coming out, it jumped and made cheerful calls.
Diantha on the opposite side thought about it, took out a Poké Ball from the belt behind her and threw it out, and suddenly a Sliggoo appeared opposite to Victreebel.
The second stage evolution of a pseudo-legendary! Eddie was amazed, worthy of being the future Champion.
"Let the challenger attack first!" Clarke shouted.
"In that case, Sliggoo, say hello to Victreebel with your Dragon Breath!" Diantha waved her arms and shouted loudly. Even at such a young age, she already had the aura of a queen.
"mieluo~"
Sliggoo puffed up its cheeks, and a ball of purple energy condensed at its mouth, then turned into an energy column and shot towards Victreebel.
However, the speed of the Victreebel was so fast that it disappeared in an instant. Two thin vines stretched out from under its leaves, and with a whoosh, they swung to the branches above its head, and then it swung back and forth between the branches with the vines, with extremely skillful movements.
"It's not over yet, Sliggoo, Attack!" said Diantha in a sharp tone.
"mieluo~"
As Diantha's voice fell, Sliggoo suddenly increased the frequency of its attacks. Streams of Dragon Breath were like cannonballs, bombarding the Victreebel swaying between the tree branches.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions continued on the field.
Eddie who was outside the arena was watching with great interest: So Diantha's fighting style in his youth was so unrestrained and heroic?
"Haha, dodging all the time is not our style, little girl, I'm going to fight back." Uncle Ramos said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Diantha said nonchalantly: "Master Ramos, just come over." Her words were full of confidence.
"Victreebel, Sunny Day!"
A golden light suddenly burst out from the mouth of the fast-moving Victreebel. With a "puff" sound, a golden ball of light rose into the sky, and the sunlight suddenly became scorching hot at this moment.
At the same time, the speed of the Victreebel suddenly increased sharply, becoming even faster than before, and Sliggoo could no longer keep up with its rhythm.
At this moment, both Diantha in the field and Eddie outside the field understood that the characteristic of this Victreebel is Chlorophyll, and its speed doubles in clear weather!
"Victreebel, Solar Beam!"
Dazzling golden light burst out from Victreebel's mouth and was launched in just a moment. On a sunny day, the Solar Beam that originally required charging could be launched instantly.
Solar Beam is one of the most powerful Grass-type skills.
Eddie sighed silently in his heart, Master Ramos was really ruthless, his first move was a powerful one.
"Sliggoo, Dragon Breath!" Diantha commanded Sliggoo to fight back.
The golden and green energy columns collided with each other. In just a moment, the green energy column collapsed, while the golden light column continued to rush forward with undiminished power.
Boom!
Sliggoo was submerged in the golden energy column formed by the Solar Beam.
Did Diantha lose? Eddie couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the situation on the field.
The field was filled with smoke and dust, making it difficult to see the battle situation for a moment.
"Roar~"
At this moment, a blue-purple dragon-shaped energy suddenly rose into the sky from the smoke and dust, and headed straight for Victreebel who was standing on a tree branch and watching.
It's Dragon Pulse!
Victreebel was caught off guard and was hit directly in the face. With a scream, Victreebel fell from the tree branch, apparently having lost the ability to fight.
After the smoke and dust cleared, looking at the fallen Victreebel and the intact Sliggoo, Ramos shook his head and sighed, "As expected, you are known as the most talented trainer in the Kalos region in recent years. Is your Sliggoo Sap Sipper?"
"That's right." Diantha nodded.
"No wonder she's so confident." Mr. Ramos took out the Poké Ball and put away the Sliggoo.
Pokémon with the Sap Sipper ability will not only not take damage when attacked by Grass-type skills, but their Attack power will be increased instead.
Eddie, who was off the field, heard what Master Ramos said and thought: It turns out that Diantha is already very famous in the Kalos region now!
The most talented trainer in the Kalos region in recent years!
Such a high evaluation... She is indeed a trainer who will become a Champion in the future. She has already shown her talent at such a young age. Eddie originally thought that Diantha was just starting to make her debut at this age.
"Please ask the Gym Leader to release the second Pokémon."
As Clarke's voice sounded, Master Ramos released the second Pokémon, a very cute pink Deerling.
The Deerling has four different forms depending on the seasons: pink spring form, green summer form, orange autumn form, and gray-brown winter form.
But because of the special climate of Coumarine City, the Deerling living here will always maintain their pink spring form.
Of course, the morphological changes of the Deerling will not affect its skills and attributes, which is completely different from the Oricorio which also has morphological changes.
At this time, the Sunny Day effect left by Victreebel on the field still existed. The Deerling quickly turned into a series of afterimages and appeared beside Sliggoo in the blink of an eye.
The characteristic of this Deerling is also Chlorophyll.
"Yo~"
Deerling raised its two powerful hind legs and used Double Kick to kick Sliggoo hard. "Sliggoo, use Sludge Wave quickly!" Diantha was horrified and quickly ordered Sliggoo to defend.
Gurgle~
At the moment when the Deerling attacked Sliggoo, a pool of muddy water appeared under Sliggoo. Under Sliggoo's control, the muddy water turned into a soft and extremely elastic mucous membrane, completely wrapping Sliggoo up.
Sludge Wave is an offensive skill. I didn't expect that Diantha would think of using it for defense, and Sliggoo mastered the Sludge Wave very smoothly. It was obviously not the first time she used it. It was really creative.
Sliggoo's body was originally extremely soft and elastic, and now it had an extra layer of mud and water protective film, which actually directly reduced most of the force exerted by the Deerling on it, and the remaining part could not cause any harm to Sliggoo at all.
I have to say that Sliggoo's special body structure is quite compatible with the Sludge Wave skill.
Gurgle~
Sliggoo's body was like jelly, swaying back and forth under the kicks of the Deerling, looking a little cute.
Deerling was still kicking Sliggoo with Double Kick. At this time, Diantha shouted, "Sliggoo, catch it!"
Sliggoo in the muddy mucous membrane suddenly stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the kicking leg of Deerling in her hand. Deerling lost its balance and fell to the ground in panic.
"Dragon Pulse!"
Diantha is planning to launch a close attack on Deerling. If Deerling is hit, can he withstand it?
However, at this time, Master Ramos calmly commanded: "Deerling, use Charm."
"Yo~ Yo~ Yo~"
The Deerling, which had been struggling desperately, immediately calmed down. It turned its head to look at Sliggoo, its eyes were watery and moist, and it looked very pitiful.
Giegie~Please let me go~
Those little eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Seeing the Deerling in this state, Sliggoo's heart trembled, and she let go of her hand in a daze. At the same time, the Dragon Pulse that she had prepared halfway also dissipated naturally.
The moment he escaped, Deerling's expression changed.
Ho~tui~
Deerling looked down upon Sliggoo, who had become dirty because of being wrapped in the muddy current, and with his superior jumping ability, he quickly got away from her in the blink of an eye.
Uh... Eddie, who saw the series of actions of the Deerling, was dumbfounded for a long time: I will never say that this Deerling is cute again, it is simply a little devil!
After being freed from the influence of Charm, Sliggoo realized what she had done, and her face suddenly turned ugly. She waved her little hand, and the mud and water on her body automatically receded, as if it had never appeared, and her body became clean again.
At the same time, waves of purple surged out from under its body, with strange colors, surging towards the Deerling
This is the Poison-type skill Sludge Wave.
Deerling moved quickly to avoid the attack of the Sludge Wave, but the attack range of the Sludge Wave was very wide, almost dyeing the entire battlefield purple, and the place where Deerling could step became smaller and smaller.
Once it comes into contact with the Sludge Wave, Deerling will be in danger of being poisoned. As a Grass-type Pokémon, it has extremely low resistance to Poison-type skills.
Seeing that the Deerling was about to have no way to escape, a look of pain suddenly appeared on Sliggoo's face, and then a green vine grew out of its body, constantly sucking its strength.
This is Leech Seed! When was it planted?
Not to mention that Diantha on the field didn't notice it, even Eddie, a bystander who had been watching from the sidelines, didn't notice Deerling's little move.
Sure enough, this old guy is cunning!
But Leech Seed shouldn't be effective against Pokémon with the Sap Sipper ability!
Now that Sliggoo has been hit, it can only mean one thing, that it is no longer a Sap Sipper.
The only skill that Deerling can use to do this is Gastro Acid. The effect of Gastro Acid is to suppress the opponent's ability.
Obviously, in the last battle, Victreebel suffered from its Sap Sipper nature. In this battle, Mr. Ramos had already been prepared for this trait that was a natural nemesis for him, and he did it without anyone noticing.
Deerling and Sliggoo had been in a close stalemate for so long, it had plenty of opportunities to attack Sliggoo.
At this time, the Deerling was finally hit by the Sludge Wave. The purple tide submerged its knees, and a large amount of toxins corroded upwards along its legs. Soon the Deerling fell into a state of poisoning.
The two Pokémon began to lose strength at the same time, but the advantage of Deerling is that it has Leech Seed to absorb Sliggoo's strength to replenish its own, so the situation is much better.
During the confrontation, Sliggoo was the first to fall down due to exhaustion.
"Sliggoo has lost his ability to fight, Deerling wins, challenger, please release the next Pokémon!"
Although the Deerling won, its situation was not good. It looked listless, completely different from the proud look when it first appeared. Purple mist rose from its body from time to time, which was proof that the symptoms of poisoning had not disappeared.
Diantha's second Pokémon is a Gourgeist, a Pokémon that has evolved to its final form. The previous Sliggoo is not on the same level as it in terms of strength.
"Gourgeist, Trick-or-Treat!"
"Beep~"
The Gourgeist's aura was fully open, and an overwhelming deterrent force came towards him. He spread out his arms like hair, and the face-like holes on his abdomen emitted bright light.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, without a trace of light, as if all the light had been taken away by the Gourgeist, and the atmosphere became eerie and terrifying.
By the time the vision disappeared, Deerling was no longer just a Normal-type and Grass-type Pokémon, but had become a Normal-type, Grass-type, and Ghost-type Pokémon.
Ghost-type Pokémon counter each other.
With the addition of Ghost attributes, Deerling should have been restrained by Gourgeist, but unfortunately, it still had its Normal typing which is immune to Ghost.
If it doesn't have the Normal trait on it, Deerling will be completely defeated by the Gourgeist in terms of attributes.
Because of this unfamiliar Ghost attribute, the Deerling does not have the corresponding skills to play to its advantage, so the Gourgeist, who should also be restrained by it, takes advantage of the attribute.
But Diantha let Gourgeist use Trick-or-Treat not to restrain Deerling in terms of attributes, but for other purposes, so it doesn't matter even if Deerling has the Normal attribute.
"Gourgeist, Seed Bomb!"
"Oh no, Deerling, get out of the way."
Just when the Deerling was about to jump away, the Gourgeist's expression suddenly changed. A huge and terrifying black face was reflected from the hole in its abdomen, scaring the Deerling who was about to escape so much that he froze in place
The black face was the effect of the skill Scary Face, which could significantly reduce the opponent's speed. In addition, the Sunny Day had disappeared at this moment, and Deerling had completely lost his speed advantage.
"Seed Bomb!"
The Deerling, who was frozen in place, was hit directly by a Seed Bomb.
The purpose of Diantha using Trick-or-Treat is to create a horror atmosphere, and then give full play to the effect of Scary Face to limit the excessive speed of Deerling.
Obviously, her goal was achieved.
"Deerling has lost his ability to fight, Gourgeist has won, please ask the Gym Leader to release the third Pokémon." Clarke's voice sounded again.
Mr. Ramos's last Pokémon is naturally the iconic Pokémon of the Coumarine Gym - the Gogoat.
Uncle Ramos not only has a plantation, but also a very large ranch, which is not far from the Coumarine Gym. It raises a large number of Skiddo and Gogoat, so when challengers come to the Coumarine Gym to challenge, the last Pokémon they face is basically a Gogoat.
It's just that Master Ramos will judge based on the approximate strength of the challengers and decide which level of Gogoat he will choose to fight.
Faced with such a fierce Diantha, Mr. Ramos naturally chose a very powerful Gogoat as his Pokemon.
As soon as this Gogoat appeared, it used the field skill Grassy Terrain. The Grassy Terrain greatly improved the strength of this Gogoat.
On the one hand, the fixed effects brought by the Grassy Terrain are the increased power of Grass-type skills and continuous physical recovery.
On the other hand, the characteristic of this Gogoat is Grass Pelt, and its Defense will increase when it is in Grassy Terrain.
While the Gogoat uses the Grassy Terrain, Gourgeist uses Trick-or-Treat again.
As the terrifying night falls, the Gogoat is endowed with Ghost attributes.
Master Ramos knew that he couldn't guard against this, so he didn't stop the Gourgeist's actions but let his Gogoat concentrate on the Grassy Terrain.
"Gogoat, Seed Bomb!"
"Gourgeist, Shadow Ball."
After both sides had deployed their auxiliary skills, they launched attacks at the same time.
Bang~bang~bang~
The green seeds and black energy ball collided, but the Shadow Ball was quickly shattered by the Seed Bomb.
There's no way. Gourgeist's talent is not in Special Attack, so when facing the attack of his Gogoat, he uses Special Attacks to respond and naturally falls into a disadvantage.
Diantha was naturally well aware of this, so she didn't expect the Shadow Ball to be able to achieve anything, as long as it could confuse the enemy.
After defeating the Shadow Ball, the green seeds formed by the Seed Bomb shot straight towards the Gourgeist behind it, but strangely, the Gourgeist disappeared from the spot in just a moment, and the attack of the Seed Bomb missed.
Boom! A big hole was blown out on the ground where the Gourgeist was originally located.
Suddenly, Master Ramos shouted, "Gogoat, be careful, it's behind you."
Suddenly, a black vortex appeared on the ground behind the Gogoat mount, and the figure of the Gourgeist emerged from the vortex strangely.
At this time, Mr. Ramos's reminder was too late. The Gourgeist quickly took action. He was covered in black light and crashed directly into the Gogoat mount. The Gogoat mount had no time to react.
This is a Ghost-type attack skill - Phantom Force, a skill that is very difficult to defend against.
The Gogoat wailed and flew out, rolling several times on the ground. Although it was alert when the Gourgeist disappeared, the Gourgeist's strange appearance still made it hard to guard against.
The healing effect of the Grassy Terrain took effect in time, allowing the Gogoat mount to recover some of its strength.
Fortunately, the Grass Pelt improved its Defense, otherwise the Gogoat, which was endowed with Ghost attributes, might not be able to withstand this sudden attack from the Ghost-type Pokémon, and it might have fainted before the healing effect of the Grassy Terrain could take effect.
The Gogoat stood up quickly, and when the Gourgeist used Shadow Ball to finish off the opponent, he used the Vine Whip in time to block the opponent's attack.
"Gogoat, use Milk Drink."
Taking advantage of this time, Ramos chose to use recovery skills. After all, the recovery amount of the Grassy Terrain is very small, and its advantage lies only in continuous recovery.
The special skill Milk Drink is a skill exclusive to the two Pokémon, Gogoat and Miltank. The amount of recovery is quite considerable, and just one use can 1/4 of Gogoat's health.
However, the Gourgeist used Gastro Acid on the Gogoat mount at this time, suppressing the Gogoat ability.
This can be considered as giving someone a taste of his own medicine.
"Gourgeist, Shadow Sneak!"
The shadow under the Gourgeist suddenly twisted, and finally turned into a pitch-black claw that grabbed the Gogoat.
Although Shadow Sneak is not as powerful as Phantom Force, it has an advantage in that it is fast to cast.
"Gogoat, get out of the way!"
The Gogoat jumped away upon hearing this, dodging the claws of the shadow in time. But the claws followed him everywhere, and under the control of the Gourgeist, they continued to pounce on the Gogoat.
The Gogoat was not fast enough and was soon caught.
With a scream, the Gogoat was caught and fell to the ground. This time, without the protection of Grass Pelt, it suddenly became listless.
The Gourgeist took advantage of the victory and controlled the shadow to hit his Gogoat again.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Master Ramos called out, "Gogoat, Leaf Blade."
Suddenly, a sharp leaf knife flew out from the side of the Gogoat mount, passed over the shadow claws, and directly hit the Gourgeist, sending the Gourgeist flying backwards.
At the same time, the Shadow Sneak hit Gogoat again.
The Gogoat lost its combat capability due to its low Defense and was restrained by Ghost-type skills, but the Gourgeist staggered and flew up again.
As a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon, Gourgeist has a strong resistance to Grass-type skills, and its Defense is also very high, so it can withstand this solid blow.
"The Gogoat mount lost its ability to fight, and Gourgeist won. Since all three Pokémon of the Gym Leader were defeated, the winner of this Gym battle is the challenger Diantha!" Clarke announced the result of the game in a timely manner.
Eddie, who was outside the field, immediately applauded when he saw this. It was so awesome!
"See, Popplio, this is how powerful she is. You have to work harder in the future." Eddie said to the Popplio in his arms.
"Woo!!!"
The Popplio nodded seriously. After watching the game, it was inspired to fight and vowed to become a Pokémon more powerful than the Gourgeist.
After Ramos put away his Gogoat, he signaled Clarke to hand over the badge and said to Diantha, "You are really mature now. From now on, the world will be ruled by you young people." He handed the badge to Diantha and said, "This is a Grass Badge. I hope you can get a good result in the League competition."
"Thank you. I will try my best." Diantha took the badge and put it into the special badge box. "Then I'll take my leave. Thank you for troubling you today."
Mr. Ramos waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem. It's my duty."
After the game, Diantha immediately said goodbye and left. When she passed by Eddie, she said, "If we have the chance to meet again, I hope we can have a Pokémon battle then."
Eddie nodded and replied, "Looking forward to seeing you again."
Ramos walked up to Eddie and asked, "What do you feel after watching this game?"
Eddie thought for a few seconds and replied, "Wonderful? Awesome?" Master Ramos knocked him helplessly and said, "How come you are so young and have no drive at all! He is so amazing at such a young age, don't you have any desire to catch up?"
After saying this, he sighed: "Trainer, this is the romance of boys and girls!"
"Uh..." Eddie scratched the back of his head, "It's not that I don't have any ideas, it's just that I can't think of them right now."
After hearing this, Mr. Ramos didn't say anything more.
Indeed, Eddie's situation is different from others. When they are ten years old, others can become trainers without worries and can go out to travel without any worries, but Eddie has to work hard for a living.
This child is not easy...
"Are you here to see me for something today?" asked Mr. Ramos.
Eddie nodded, "I do have something I would like to ask you for help with."
As Master Ramos walked out, he motioned Eddie to follow him, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask you a question. How do you solve the pollination problem in an orchard after a large area of fruit trees bloom?"
Before, Eddie had only planted about thirty fruit trees. After they bloomed, the pollination problem could be easily solved by relying solely on the nearby wild Vivillon and Butterfree, plus his and Selene's manual help.
Now he has planted thousands of fruit trees. When these trees bloom, if he relies solely on wild Pokémon for pollination, it may affect the final fruiting of the trees.
After all, wild Pokémon won't come just because you want them to, or go just because you want them to. The uncertainty is too great.
This batch of fruit trees of his was not grown from seeds like the previous batch, so they would definitely bloom and bear fruit earlier than the previous batch, so he had to make some preparations in advance.
After hearing this, Mr. Ramos suddenly realized: "So this is the problem! It's actually very easy to solve."
"Most orchards hire specialized pollination agencies to help. Those agencies raise many Pokémon like the Vivillon, the Butterfree, and the Combee. They specialize in pollination tasks for orchards, flower plantations, and other planting industries. You can also ask them to come and help, the price is not expensive."
"There are also some large-scale plantations that cultivate this type of Pokémon themselves, so they can solve the pollination problem themselves."
"In the future, when you have better conditions, you can also raise some of these Pokémon yourself. Combee and Vespiquen are all good choices. In addition to helping your fruit trees pollinate, the Honey and Pollen Puffs they produce are also good money-making projects."
Taking Eddie's situation into consideration, the suggestions given by Mr. Ramos were carefully considered.
Seeing that Eddie was considering it seriously, Ramos said, "There is a very good pollination agency near us. I often invite them to come to my garden to help with pollination. If you need anything, you can go and ask them."
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Eddie said gratefully.
"You have been very busy recently, and it's a rare opportunity for you to come to my place today. Come, I'll take you to see something good." At this time, Uncle Ramos suddenly said.
"Good stuff? What good stuff?" Eddie asked curiously.
"Just follow and you'll find out." Uncle Ramos kept it a secret.
Eddie was led by Master Ramos into the depths of his garden. This was Eddie's first time here.
The periphery of Mr. Ramos's garden was planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, but unexpectedly, the deepest part seemed very empty, with only a few sparse plants growing.
Grandpa Ramos smiled and pointed at the plants and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that some of the plants here look inconspicuous; some of them are already extinct outside."
"The flowers and plants I grow outside are rare, but they are far inferior to those here."
Oh~ these are the treasures, I understand!
As they walked, Eddie followed Uncle Ramos to a small flower bed.
The flower bed was empty, with only a green seedling that was less than 20 centimeters tall. Moreover, the seedling looked thin and weak and did not have the vibrant appearance that a seedling should have.
"Is this the good stuff you mentioned?" Eddie asked puzzledly.
"That's right." Master Ramos nodded, "This seedling was grown from a seed found in the ruins."
"Found in the ruins?" Eddie asked in surprise.
"That's right, and it's a young seedling of a fruit tree." Uncle Ramos continued.
"Fruit tree seedlings?" I can't remember any fruit tree seedlings that look like this.
Seeing Eddie's puzzled expression, Ramos explained, "This is a Liechi Berry seedling."
Eddie couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. "Don't tell me a lie. How could I not have seen the seedlings of the Liechi Berry?" Although he didn't grow Liechi Berries, he had seen Liechi Berry seedlings in books and in First Tree Plantation.
"Isn't it incredible?" Seeing Eddie's face full of disbelief, Ramos laughed out loud, "That's the fact, and it has been proven by botanists."
The seed of this sapling was discovered by Captain Sanders and his research institute when they were exploring the ruins, but they had no way to make the seed germinate, so they had no choice but to send it to Master Ramos.
Mr. Ramos lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully revived the seed from its slumber.
Although the seeds sprouted, they did not grow well, and Master Ramos was troubled by this for a long time.
Looking at the Liechi Berry tree seedlings in the flowerbed, Grandpa Ramos sighed: "Plants are really amazing. They are obviously the same plant, but they grow into completely different appearances because they grow in different eras."
"It's incredible that this ancient tree species still retains its vitality after being placed in the ruins for such a long time," said Eddie.
"Not only do you find it incredible, but botanists who have studied it for a long time also find it incredible. It is precisely to find out this secret that they have been urging me to revive the seeds."
"It's just that the seed has successfully sprouted, but whether it can grow smoothly is a question. If it withers before it grows up, then all the work will be in vain." Master Ramos couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Eddie suddenly became curious about the energy structure inside this ancient plant. Is it the same as the modern Liechi Berry tree?
So he looked at Mr. Ramos and asked, "Can I touch it?"
Ramos was a little confused when he heard this. Why are you touching it for no reason? What else can you find out from touching it? However, he did not refuse. He knew that Eddie was a sensible child. He just solemnly instructed:
"Be gentle, it's very delicate."
Eddie nodded and gently placed his hand on the roots of the sapling.
