As he listened to the shopkeeper's introduction, Xinhai carefully observed the color, shape, and faint energy fluctuations emitted by each Berry.
Eevee had long since lost its patience. It leaped down from Xinhai's shoulder and trotted up to a lower shelf, its little nose constantly twitching as it let out eager cries of "Eevee, Eevee" at several fruits giving off an enticingly sweet fragrance.
Charmander also curiously followed behind Eevee. As it looked at the colorful fruits, the flame on its tail swayed slightly.
Gardevoir walked over to Xinhai's side, its red eyes sweeping across the shelves. Its powerful Inner Focus allowed it to sense the nature and purity of the energy contained within the Berries more keenly, and it occasionally conveyed subtle observations to Xinhai through Telepathy.
In the end, Xinhai selected several local subspecies of Berries that interested him and bought dozens of each. He also replenished his daily reserves with some high-quality common Berries.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically helped package everything and even gave him a small bag of homemade mixed dried fruit as a gift.
"Please come again, sir! The Berries from our Autumn Harvest Berry House are guaranteed to satisfy your Pokémon partners!" the shopkeeper said with a smile, handing Xinhai the bulging bags of Berries.
"Thank you, sir," Xinhai said. Carrying the heavy bags of Berries, he left the shop with the still-unsatisfied Eevee and Charmander, as well as the very happy Gardevoir.
After that, Xinhai and the others went to Fallarbor Town's department store and bought several local specialty minerals rich in active Rock/Ground-type energy, intending to improve Sandile and Golem's diets.
After putting everything into his backpack, Xinhai took Eevee, Charmander, and Gardevoir toward Fallarbor Town's League Mission Hall according to the Pokédex map's directions.
The League Mission Hall was located slightly north
