Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"The Youth Cup is finally about to begin!"

Mei, standing at the entrance of the arena in Kagome Town, couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going.

"Yes, if it weren't for Miss Sirona's reminder, we would probably have to sit and watch the game at this point." Touzi also echoed at this time, with a hint of relief in her words.

"But fortunately, we all successfully registered for the competition." Xiao Mao said with a smile when he heard this.

"Then we shall now..."

Just when Xiao Mao was about to call Mei and Toru to enter the venue, he suddenly heard a call.

"Hey, Xiao Mao, wait for us!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Mao and the other two turned around and saw four people led by Xiao Zhi jogging towards them.

"Ash!" Xiaomao was not surprised by Xiaozhi's arrival. After all, Xiaozhi would definitely get involved in any competition related to Pokémon.

As for the other three, they are naturally Alice, Tiantong and Xiaoguang.

"And Xiaoguang, why are you here too?" Mei was no longer surprised by Alice and Tiantong, but was still surprised by Xiaoguang's arrival.

"Well, I came to the Unova region with Miss Sirona." Xiaoguang explained with a smile when he heard it.

"Ms. Sirona." After hearing Sirona's name, Xiao Mao and the other two immediately understood.

"By the way, Xiaomao, are you also participating in this Youth Cup competition?" After a brief chat, Xiaozhi looked at Xiaomao with some anticipation.

"Of course, we won't miss this game."

Before Xiao Mao could answer, Mei answered first.

"That's great. Xiaomao, Mei and Toruko, let's decide the winner in the competition." After saying that, Xiaozhi looked at Xiaomao and the other two excitedly.

"Wait, what you mean is..." Touko reacted instantly and looked at Alice and the other two people beside Xiaozhi.

"Yes, in addition to Xiaoguang, Tiantong and I also participated in the competition." Alice, with Yaya lying on her shoulder, replied with a smile.

"That's great. I'm looking forward to the competition even more." With the participation of Xiaozhi and others, Mei is looking forward to the upcoming Youth Cup.

"Okay, the opening ceremony is about to begin, let's go in quickly." Xiao Mao reminded after looking at the time.

"it is good!"

Just as everyone agreed and prepared to enter the arena, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from beside them.

"You are still as beautiful as ever, Miss Sirona!"

This somewhat old and experienced voice made Xiao Mao and others immediately know the identity of the speaker.

"It's Miss Sirona and Mr. Adek!"

As Xiao Mao and the other two looked towards the garden beside them, they saw the conversation between the Unova champion Adek and the Sinnoh champion Sirona behind the big tree.

It’s just that Adek’s words just now seemed particularly vulgar.

At this time, Adek showed an obscene smile and extended an invitation.

"How about we put the competition aside for now and go have a meal together."

"Please go by yourself as usual." Sirona naturally rejected the invitation from the old man Adek.

Adek, who was politely rejected by Sirona, did not feel embarrassed at this time. Instead, he laughed happily: "It's that kind of icy beauty's temperament that makes people irresistible!"

"Mr. Adek is still the same!"

Xiao Mao and others felt helpless about an old naughty boy like Adek.

"Then I'll take a step back and let's go have a cup of tea together!" Although he was rejected by Shirona, Adek did not give up, but continued to extend the invitation.

"Men who are entangled are disliked by others." Unfortunately, Sirona ignored her at all.

"That's right, Mr. Adek, Miss Sirona is right!" At this moment, a familiar voice came into Sirona and Adek's ears: "And if it's dinner and tea, I think Sirona should accept my invitation."

After hearing this familiar voice, Sirona and Adek looked over and saw Xiao Mao and others walking towards them.

"It's Shigetaro, Chitaro and you guys!" Adek said with a smile when he saw Xiaoshi and others coming over.

"Just like Miss Sirona said, it's annoying to keep pestering her."

Xiao Mao smiled and looked at Sirona, then continued: "And Miss Sirona has already accepted my invitation."

Xiao Mao said this while giving Sirona a look.

After receiving Xiaomao's gaze, Shirona immediately understood the excuse Xiaomao was giving her, so she said, "Yes, Mr. Adek, I have accepted Xiaomao's invitation."

"What a pity!" After seeing this scene, Adek could only look regretful.

"Mr. Adek, you really haven't changed at all!" Xiao Mao, who was familiar with Adek's character, shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, I'm still me!" Adek did not feel ashamed, but proud instead.

This scene made Xiao Mao and others present speechless.

"You are still the same, Mr. Adek!" Just at this moment, a familiar figure appeared beside Xiaozhi and said to Adek coldly.

There is no doubt that this person is the Emperor Xiu that Xiao Mao and the others hate.

"Who is this..." Looking at Xiudi who suddenly appeared, Shirona, who didn't know him, asked curiously.

"Um... let me think... who was it?" Adek had no impression of a trainer like Xiu Di.

"I am Emperor Xiu!" Seeing this scene, the coldness on Emperor Xiu's face deepened.

"Oh, it's Shuutarou!" Adek finally remembered after being reminded by Xiudi.

"Xiu Di, are you coming to participate in the competition too?" Xiao Zhi was very happy to see Xiu Di appear.

"If you win, you can fight against Adek. This is an obvious thing, right?" Xiudi looked at Xiaozhi who appeared, snorted coldly, and said to Adek.

"Mr. Adek, please wait for me to win!"

"Young man, you are very motivated." Adek looked at Xiudi with interest.

"Yes, and I must fight against Mr. Adek and win. I want to prove with my strength that Mr. Adek is outdated!"

Xiudi said this without any self-awareness, as if he had already defeated Adek.

"Hahaha!" After hearing what Emperor Xiu said, Xiao Mao, who had been watching from the sidelines, started laughing as if he had heard something funny.

Mei and Toruko on the side also laughed together in cooperation.

"You really don't know your own limitations!" Xiao Mao finished laughing and said with disdain, "Xiu Di, you don't even know the true strength of the champion trainer. You are a real country bumpkin!"

"I will definitely avenge my previous shame in this competition!"

After hearing Xiaomao's words, Xiudi's expression became even colder. After saying something to Xiaomao, he walked into the arena.

"Xiu Di!" Looking at Xiu Di walking into the arena, Xiao Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment.
