Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Isn't this Xiao Mao? Long time no see!"

On this day, when Xiao Mao was bringing Mei and Toru to the Butou Town to buy camping supplies, he heard a strange voice calling him.

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Xiao Mao turned around with a puzzled expression.

"You are... Mr. Shiba!" Xiao Mao looked back and saw a very strong muscular man waving his arms at him.

Xiao Mao, who was born in the Kanto region, would recognize the person in front of him. He was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto and Johto regions, the Fighting King Hiba.

"It's me." After seeing Xiaomao recognize him, Xiba smiled and nodded, admitting his identity.

"It's really Mr. Shiba!" After seeing Shiba admit his identity as Shiba, Mei and Toruko also shouted excitedly.

"By the way, who are they?" After hearing Mei and Toru's excited words, Shiba also noticed Mei and Toru standing beside them.

"They are my girlfriends, Mei and Toru!" After Xiao Mao saw Shiba asking, Xiao Mao also introduced them generously.

"Is that so!" After Shiba glanced at the beautiful Mei and Toruko, he also looked at Xiao Mao meaningfully: "You are so lucky!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Mao felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by Xiba with such a meaningful look.

"Mr. Sheba, do you know me?"

In Xiaomao's impression, he seemed to remember that he had never had any contact with Xiba before. He had never gone to Miacha Mountain with Xiaozhi and the others before.

"It should be said that we all know and understand each other, but we have never actually met each other."

When Xiao Mao asked, Xiba explained: "I just met him through the previous Quartz Conference and Silver Conference."

"That's how it is!" Xiao Mao also understood.

"But Mr. Shiba, how come you are in the Hoenn region and in Butou Town?"

This is also what Mei finds puzzling. After all, Hiba is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto and Johto regions. How could he appear in Butu Town?

"I came to Wudou Town to look for my good friend." Xiba simply explained the reason.

"Looking for a friend?" Upon hearing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Xiao Mao's mind: "Could it be that the person you are looking for is... Mr. Fujiki!"

"That's right!" However, Xiba was surprised that Xiaomao could guess it: "But, Xiaomao, how did you know?"

"In Fighting Town, I can't think of anyone other than Mr. Fujiki who is related to fighting."

In response to this, Xiao Mao explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is!" After listening to Xiaomao's explanation, Xiba also gave Xiaomao a thumbs up for his cleverness.

"Don't just talk about me," Xiba paused and continued, "Let's talk about you, Xiaomao, your trip in the Hoenn region is really exciting!"

After all, Hiba is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance. Although he is not employed by the Hoenn Alliance, he still knows some important things in the Hoenn region.

This includes Larus City, and the fact that Team Magma and Team Aqua awakened Groudon and Kyogre and fought fiercely, so Xiao Mao didn't find it strange.

"Hehe, it's okay." When Hiba mentioned his travels in the Hoenn region, he felt a little emotional.

"I have to say, compared to you in the Kanto and Johto regions, your growth after traveling in Hoenn is really surprising!"

Shiba was also recalling Xiaomao's strength in Kanto and Johto regions, and comparing it with the information he had previously learned, he discovered that Xiaomao's strength had been rising sharply.

Therefore, after the comparison, Hiba was filled with emotion for a while!

"These are all gifts from the past!" Xiao Mao said meaningfully.

"Yes!" Xiba also knew that Xiaomao's two failures made him start to grow, so he nodded in approval.

Then, Xiba's tone of voice suddenly changed.

"I've heard from Daigo and the others that your strength is almost reaching our level, but I don't know if it's true."

"Would you like to play with me?"

The meaning of Xiba's words is very clear. He wants to fight with Xiaomao to see Xiaomao's current strength.

"I'd love to!" Xiao Mao was eager to receive the invitation from the Four Heavenly Kings, Xiba.

Since Xiba has already taken the initiative to invite Xiaomao to fight, how could Xiaomao refuse?

"Xiao Mao is going to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings again. I'm really looking forward to it!"

When Mei heard that Xiao Mao was about to fight with Shiba, her eyes revealed an expectation.

"Yes, Xiao Mao is really strong." Touzi looked at Xiao Mao who was looking at Xiba, and nodded: "It seems that we have to improve our strength quickly."

"That's right." After saying this, there was a hint of heat in Mei's eyes.

"But the current place is not suitable for fighting!" Xiba said, looking around and seeing that there were still many people around.

"It just so happens that there aren't many people around where we're camping, so it's just the right time to fight Mr. Sheba."

Speaking of the battle venue, Xiao Mao automatically thought of their special training ground in Wudou Town.

"Then let's do it there!" Since Xiao Mao had already said so, Xiba did not refuse.

"let's go."

Because Xiao Mao and his friends had already purchased the supplies in advance, after agreeing on a battle with Hiba, they returned to their campsite without stopping.

"Are you guys doing special training here?"

After following Xiao Mao and the other two to the camping site, Xiba saw many traces left by Xiao Mao and the other two during their training.

"That's right," Mei nodded, and then explained: "We have already obtained the eight badges of the Hoenn League. There is still a long time before the Saiyou Conference, so we are here for special training before the game."

"Then this is really a good place!" After looking around carefully, Xiba agreed that this is a good place for special training.

"But Mr. Xiba, now is not the time to worry about this," Xiao Mao looked at Xiba with a look full of fighting spirit and said, "I think what we should focus on next is the battle between us!"

"Hahaha, that's true!" Looking at Xiaomao's impatient expression, Xiba laughed and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's get started!"
