Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"There's actually a pasture in a place like this." Xiaozhi exclaimed as he looked at his lamb mount in the fence.

"It is said to be called MeeMee Ranch." Serena said after looking at the picture book.

"This elf has had a deep friendship with humans since a long time ago." Hitlon introduced.

"There are mount goats over there." Xiu Lijia pointed in a direction.

"And there's Meely Sheep, Duduli and Dudu."

"There are all kinds of elves in this ranch. Among them, the cheese and ice cream made from the milk of Meree sheep are very famous." Serena said as she looked at the introduction on the picture book.

"Shu Lijia wants to eat, wants to eat."

"It looks very good." Xiaozhi felt very hungry after listening to the introduction.

"Then let's go for a walk," suggested Xitron.

Everyone rushed to the store.

"Little brat, they're entering the ranch," Kojiro said holding the telescope, but when he looked back he felt speechless.

"I miss you, cheese ice cream."

“We’re going to go too.”

The two fell into fantasy.

……

"It looks like there's a store over there." Hitlon said, looking at the store.

"Big sister, keep it. I'll leave my brother in your care." Xiu Lijia said while kneeling on one knee.

Hearing this, the three girls couldn't help but turn their heads.

"Xiulijia." Xitron didn't expect that his sister would become like this again.

"You too, please." Hearing this, the three girls couldn't help but step back.

Xiu Lijia was then taken away by a mechanical arm.

"Xiulijia, stop it."

Serena bought two ice creams and said, "Sorry for keeping Xiu Lijia waiting."

"Arigato." Xiu Lijia took the ice cream with a smile.

"It's great to be riding a lamb. It's great." Xiu Lijia exclaimed as she watched the contestants riding lambs, and then she started to taste the ice cream.

"Could this be..." What did Serena think of as she watched this scene?

"Yes, the first step in training to become an Ironclad Rhino Rider," came a voice, causing everyone to turn their heads.

"Mom," Serena couldn't help but shout when she heard the voice.

"Mom, Serena's mom?" Xiu Lijia didn't expect to meet Serena's mother here.

"That's really surprising," Citron couldn't help but say.

"Long time no see, Serena, are you okay?"

"Mom, why are you here?" Serena asked puzzledly.

"I was invited to be the special instructor for the armored rhino rider training seminar held at this ranch." Sachi explained with a smile.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Serena."

"Mother."

The two hugged each other excitedly.

"Did you get good practice as a rider during the trip?"

"Yeah." Hearing this, Serena was stunned for a moment, but still answered.

"Xiaozhi-kun, Xitron-kun, Xiulijia, Pikachu, I greet you again. Thank you for your care for Serena."

"No, we are."

"Hello."

"long time no see."

"A special teacher of the Iron Rhino rider training course... does that mean I can ride an Iron Rhino here too?" Xiaozhi asked.

"Yes, but today is the beginner's lesson. First we need to practice riding a lamb."

"Isn't the Ironclad Rhino large and powerful? So I have to start by riding the lamb."

Sachi explained the essentials.

"I think I started directly with the armored rhino."

"It's because Xiaozhi, you said you wanted to participate in the Iron Rhino competition no matter what."

"Thanks to your help, I can ride well."

"That's because Xiaozhi has worked very hard," Serena felt embarrassed when she heard this.

"Is that so, Xiaozhi-kun already knows how to ride the armored rhino, so he doesn't need it anymore?"

"But I've never ridden a lamb before, so I want to give it a try."

"Don't even think about riding on Xiu Lijia, because He is very cute."

"Okay, then do you want to try it with everyone?" Saki put her arms around Xiaozhi and Serena's necks.

"Let's go, brother will come too."

"I'll forget it."

"It would be great if we could ride together." Xiu Lijia said as she pushed Xitron.

“No need.”

"Salina, can you come and help? There are too many participants and it's very tiring."

Serena nodded in agreement.

……

"Then let's get started," Sachi announced.

"Okay Xn."

Xiaozhi controlled his mount, the lamb, and Xiu Lijia praised him.

"Then let Sode Lijia give it a try by riding this child."

Xiu Lijia thought of something and handed Dongdong Mouse to Serena's care.

"Ride slowly and don't make too much noise, or the lamb will be scared away," Sachi helped Xiu Lijia.

"I also want to get along well with my mount, the lamb." Xiu Lijia said in a low voice.

"It's nice to take a walk together," he put his hands on the sheep's horns, and then rode the lamb and walked on its own.

"Yes, I can ride it now."

Serena looked at this scene and recalled her previous training days.

"Calm down and take your time. It's rare to see you riding like this for the first time. You may have what it takes to become an armored rhino rider."

Xiu Lijia laughed when she heard the compliment.

But Hitlon was in a terrible situation. His mount, the lamb, kept jumping and finally fell off.

"Are you okay? Xitron." Xiaozhi asked with concern.

"It's okay." Xitron scratched his head.

"Mr. Xitron is too scared, so his mount, the lamb, will also be nervous," explained Sachi.

"I understand that, but how do I overcome it?"

"Brother, you are so lame."

Hearing his sister's words, Xitron lowered his head.

"It's okay, you'll get there slowly."

……

During a training session, Hitler still failed.

"Brother, what a disgrace!" the younger sister laughed.

"Everyone has their own strengths," Hitlon retorted unhappily.

"Then let's take a break first. After lunch, everyone can continue training in the afternoon."

"It's Xn."

"Sode Lijia has completely become a student here."

"Because after I can ride a lamb, I can also ride an armored rhinoceros. I will work hard."

"You are very talented." Sachi said praisingly.

Seeing Serena in a daze, Xiaozhi asked, "What's wrong with you, Serena?"

"It's okay." Selina also came back to her senses and said.

"Then let's go to my dormitory to eat first."

……

Serena opened the pot, smelled the aroma and said, "I haven't seen mom's soup for a long time?"

"What a nice smell." Xiu Lijia praised after smelling the aroma.

"Mom's soup is the best in the world."

On the other side, Sachi gave Xiaozhi and Xitron sandwiches.

"Salina doesn't cook much herself. Did she cause any trouble for you?"

"That's not the case. She also helps with the cooking."

"And the snacks made by Serena are delicious," Xiaozhi added.

"I also like Serena's desserts the most. It's really great to decorate the table with flowers and a beautiful tablecloth."

“Really? Serena actually…” The mother didn’t expect her daughter to be so highly regarded by her friends.
