Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Xiao Mao, aren't you guys going to stay and watch my gym challenge?"

On the morning of the second day after the Frog Festival, at the entrance of the Pokémon Center in Nohara City, Xiaozhi looked at Xiaomao who was about to leave, and said with some reluctance.

"Yes, Xiaomao, Mei and Toruko, just stay for one more day!" Xiaoguang was a little reluctant to leave Xiaomao and the other two whom he had just met.

"No, we are still planning to go back and see if any trainers from the Enno Gym have returned." Faced with the invitation from Satoshi and the others, Xiaomao decisively refused.

"Yes, we have been in Nohara City for several days. It's time to leave." Mei was also there, echoing Xiaomao's words.

"Okay then!" After seeing that Xiaomao and the others were determined, Xiaozhi and the others had nothing more to say and could only agree.

"Then we'll see each other later!" Xiaogang was quite calm at this time and said goodbye to Xiaomao and the others.

"Okay." Xiao Mao and the other two naturally nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Xiaozhi!"

Just when Xiao Mao was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped.

"Xiao Mao, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously when he saw Xiao Mao turning around.

However, Xiao Mao did not answer. Instead, he took something out of his waist bag and threw it to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi also took the things that Xiaomao threw to him with a puzzled look on his face.

"This thing is something I don't need, so I'll give it to you. I think you might need it."

After saying that, Xiao Mao ignored Xiaozhi's subsequent reaction, and directly took Mei and Toruko away.

"What is this..." After Xiao Mao left, Xiao Zhi looked at the thing in his hand that looked like sharp teeth and fell into deep thought. After all, this involved his blind spot in knowledge.

"This is a sharp tooth!" It was Xiaogang, who was more knowledgeable, who recognized the object at a glance.

"Sharp Fang?" Although he knew the name, Xiaozhi still couldn't understand it.

"It is the necessary item that can evolve your Scorpio into King Scorpio." Xiaogang's explanation made Xiaozhi understand everything.

"So this is the Sharp Fang!" Xiaoguang also reacted at this time, then looked at Xiaozhi and said, "It seems that Xiaomao is quite good to you!"

"Xiao Mao..." Xiao Zhi didn't care about Xiao Guang's words. Instead, he looked at Xiao Mao who had already walked away, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Turning her attention back to Xiaomao and the others, after leaving Xiaozhi and the others' sight, Mei looked at Xiaomao with a slightly surprised look.

"Xiao Mao, I didn't expect you to care about that guy Xiaozhi so much!"

"It's nothing. After all, Xiaozhi and I are both from Pallet Town. If I can help, I will."

In response to Mei's surprise, Xiao Mao immediately explained: "Besides, I have always been taken care of by Aunt Hanako, so I will help Xiaozhi a little more to repay Aunt Hanako."

"Aunt Hanako, she is indeed a very gentle person!"

After Xiaomao said this, the image of Xiaozhi's mother, Hanako, appeared in Touko's mind.

"That's true." After hearing Xiao Mao's explanation, Mei also expressed her understanding.

"I remember that Aunt Hanako's cooking skills are very good. The food she cooks is really delicious!"

After Xiao Mao mentioned Aunt Hanako, the first thing Mei thought of was Aunt Hanako's cooking skills.

"When I was in Pallet Town, my favorite thing was the food Aunt Hanako cooked."

"Mei is right, Aunt Hanako's cooking skills are really amazing!" Toruko deeply agreed with what Mei said.

"When we have time to go back to Pallet Town, we will go to visit Aunt Hanako. I think she will welcome us very much." Xiao Mao smiled gently and suggested.

"it is good!"

Along with Mei's happy voice, Xiao Mao and the others gradually disappeared on the streets of Nohara City.

In the next few days, Xiao Mao and his friends hurried along the way in order to challenge the Yuanzhi Gym as soon as possible, and finally arrived at Yuanzhi City without stopping.

"Hey, how could this happen!"

After returning to Yuanzhi City, Xiao Mao and the others immediately arrived at the entrance of Yuanzhi Gym.

But after they arrived, they found that the Yuanzhi Gym was almost exactly the same as the last time they came, even the original notice had not changed.

Mei looked at the gate of the Confinement Gym, pouted, and said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"I remember that the trainer of the Edge Gym seemed to be Melissa. Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Touzi looked at the closed door, frowned, and said something.

Xiao Mao and Mei, who knew Toruko well, also realized at this time that Toruko, who was always good-tempered, also had a lot of opinions about Melissa.

"According to the information I gathered, Melissa is such a person. In order to become a famous gorgeous master, she often travels to make greater progress and learn new ways of fighting."

Faced with Mei and Toru's dissatisfaction, Xiao Mao spread his hands and began to explain.

"Since Melissa wants to become a gorgeous master, why does she want to be a trainer at the Yuanzhi Gym?" This made Mei feel very puzzled.

"I don't know this either."

Xiao Mao shook his head and continued, "I think if Melissa could refuse the position of trainer of the Yuanzhi Gym, she would probably quit her job."

Among the gym trainers in the Sinnoh region, although they all have their own hobbies, they still take into account their responsibilities as gym trainers.

But Melissa is different. She doesn't want to care about the Yuanzhi Gym at all. She always goes on a trip without any preparation. This is also what makes Xiao Mao speechless.

"According to what you said, Xiao Mao, Melissa would really do this."

After listening to Xiaomao's words, Touzi nodded directly, agreeing with Xiaomao's statement.

"We have no way of challenging the Yuanzhi Gym now, so what should we do next?"

This is what Mei is most worried about so far, so she asked Xiaomao for his opinion.

"Should we skip this Edge City for now and head to the next gym city, or should we stay in Edge City for a few days to see if Melissa can come back?"

"Let me think about this first." Xiao Mao did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Then, Xiao Mao quickly raised his head, looked at Mei and Toruko, and expressed his thoughts.

"Mei, Touko, if we don't..."
