Legosi, Fitzroy, and Zuke all met up together at Zuke's apartment in Azalea to go over the riddle they'd received. After discussing things over tea, Team Leader Legosi(tm) will come to the Seekers with this guess as the answer to their riddle:

For the item, their guess is that the riddle is asking for a Lure Ball. The riddle talks about a "fruit to be shared, not eaten" one that will ensure you "always have a friend by your side". To "catch the one fit for you". Apricorns, as it turns out, are fruits used to make Pokeballs when they are "tended to by the slow and steady, collected and hollowed anew". There's only one person in this world who can craft Pokeballs from apricorns, and that is good old Kurt himself (slow and steady seeing as how it takes a full day to make one!)...who- as it turns out- lives in the very same location the trio happened to set up their meeting at: Azalea, which is their guess for the location for their riddle!

The reasoning behind the item being a Lure Ball in particular is the last part of the riddle, "Find the one with seawater hue". There's only one apricorn-based Pokeball that's blue, which is the Lure Ball. Never mind the fact that it's just...ALSO blue, itself. An additional point in its favor is the fact that Lure Balls are used to more easily catch Pokemon that can be caught while fishing, and what better to be associated with "seawater"?
