Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Xiao Mao, you really won't go to Dragon Country with us?"

After finishing up the matter between Team Rocket and Meloetta, Ash prepared for Alice and Cilan to leave Ripple Town together and head to Alice's hometown, Dragon Town.

At the door of the villa in Shirona Ripple Town, Xiaozhi extended an invitation to Xiaomao, Mei and Toruko.

"We've already been to Dragon Country once, so there's no need to go again." Xiao Mao shook his head and refused.

"That's right. Our main goal next is to train our Pokémons well and strive to reach a higher level of strength before the Higaki Conference." Mei on the side also nodded and agreed.

"Okay." Xiaozhi felt a little disappointed after seeing Xiaomao and the others refuse.

"But I hope you can improve your strength during this period, and don't lose to a guy like Xiu Di again." Xiao Mao remembered that Xiao Zhi had been defeated by Xiu Di in the past, and he suddenly became angry.

You know, Xiaozhi has traveled to many regions and defeated powerful players like Shinji, but he didn't expect to lose to a guy like Shudi. This is really hard for Xiaomao to accept.

"Did you hear that, Xiaozhi? It seems that your strength needs to be improved again!" After hearing what Xiaomao said, Alice crossed her arms and said to Xiaozhi with a smile on her face.

"Hehehe, I get it." Xiaozhi also knew that Xiaomao disliked Xiu Di, so he could only smile awkwardly and agreed.

"Then you must be careful on your way." Sirona, who was also following them, said goodbye to Xiaozhi and the others with a smile.

"we know."

After waving goodbye to Xiaomao and the others, Xiaozhi and the other two left Ripple Town and embarked on their journey again.

Seeing Xiaozhi and the others disappearing, Xiaomao said to Mei and Toru, "Let's start a new round of training!"

"Okay." Mei and Toruko nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry to bother you for a while, Miss Sirona."

After receiving affirmative responses from Mei and Toru, Xiao Mao turned to look at Shirona and said.

"You're welcome. You just come to add a bit of vitality to my villa." Sirona smiled gently.

"By the way, I wonder if you guys need a training partner?"

Then Sirona changed the subject and asked Xiao Mao and the other two with a smile.

"We need it!" Before Xiao Mao could reply, Mei took the lead, raised her hand and answered.

"Then let me be your training partner from now on." Sirona volunteered.

"But Ms. Sirona, as the champion trainer of the Sinnoh region, don't you have a lot of things to do?" Compared to the somewhat careless Mei, Toruko thinks more.

"Well... we still have Wusong and the others, it's okay." Shirona waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

"It's really unlucky for Wusong and the others to have a boss and champion like you!" Seeing Shirona pushing the matters directly to Wusong and the other Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh, Xiao Mao hurriedly complained silently.

In the Sinnoh region, far away from Xiao Mao and his friends, Wu Song, who was working hard at the Alliance headquarters, suddenly sneezed.

"Who is tickling me from behind?" Wusong touched his nose and said in a low voice.

Of course, while speaking, Wu Song subconsciously looked up and saw the pile of documents on his desk, and his mood immediately became bad.

"Shirona, when will you come back?"

Soon, a shrill wailing sound was heard from inside the Sinnoh Alliance headquarters building.

However, the people working at the Sinnoh Alliance headquarters have become accustomed to this wailing sound. After all, this kind of thing happens from time to time.

"Whose turn is it this time?" a staff member passing by asked his companion.

"It seems to be King Wusong." His companion responded immediately.

“I have to say, Mr. Wusong and the others are really…” When they thought of the champion of their region giving up his responsibility, they felt sad for the hard-working Wusong and the others.

But this was just a feeling of sadness. After a moment of sighing, they immediately left.

Even though they understood what was happening here, it was still a bit creepy, wasn't it?

At this time, the protagonist who was being wailed by Wusong, that is, Shirona, was in Ripple Town accompanying Xiaomao and the other two to train elves.

Just at this moment, Sirona suddenly sneezed without warning.

"Ms. Sirona, do you have a cold?" Touzi heard the voice and looked at Sirona opposite her.

"It's okay, it's probably just a casual sneeze." Sirona didn't take it seriously.

At the same time, Shirona was used to it. Every time she was on vacation or not working, she would sneeze.

Without thinking, Shirona knew that it was Wusong who was teasing her.

So Sirona ignored it and continued her already exceeded vacation time.

Just like that, before the Higaki Conference began, Xiao Mao and the other two were training elves in Ripple Town.

In addition to practicing with Shirona, Cattleya, who came to visit Shirona, would occasionally come here. When she saw Shirona and Xiaomao training, she would take the initiative to join in and have training battles with Xiaomao and the others.

During this period of training, with the help of Shirona and Cattleya, Xiaomao and the other two made great progress in their strength.

The strength of the elves in Xiaomao's hands has also been improved to a certain extent.

Apart from those champion or king-level Pokémon that have made little progress, the strength of Charizard, Tetrasaurus, Lucario and Garchomp has increased the fastest.

Under Xiaomao's training, Lucario reached level 59, Charizard reached level 59, Tetrasaurus reached level 58, and Garchomp also reached level 58.

As Xiaomao and his friends' training came to an end, the time for the opening of the Higaki Conference was getting closer, so Xiaomao and the other two began to say goodbye to Shirona.

"Xiao Mao, you guys are going to Higaki City." Sirona thought of the date and said, "It is indeed almost time."

"Yes, Miss Sirona." Xiao Mao nodded and said, "We would also like to thank Miss Sirona for taking care of us during this period of time."

"You're welcome." Sirona shook her head and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period of time."

"If Mr. Wusong and the others heard it, they would probably cry." Mei, who was standing by, smiled gently after hearing what Sirona said.

"Hahaha!" After hearing Mei's words, Xiao Mao and others imagined this scene in their minds and laughed together.

"Although you don't need me to say much given your strength, Xiao Mao, I still wish you a great victory!"

In this way, Xiao Mao and the other two left Ripple Town with Shirona's blessing and rushed to the end of the Unova region, which is Higaki City.
