Elf: This little Mao is very different.

After the couple ice cream incident, the relationship between Xiao Mao and Mei became closer. Xiao Mao was even more shameless and took this opportunity to directly achieve the identity of Mei's boyfriend.

Therefore, ever since he came back from the date with Mei, the smile on Xiao Mao's face has never disappeared.

Although Xiao Mao and Mei have become a couple, the gym challenge still needs to continue, so after finishing breakfast, the two held hands and walked towards the Chenghua Gym intimately.

On the way to Chenghua Gym, Mei looked up and asked Xiaomao beside her: "Xiaomao, do you know anything about Chenghua Gym?"

"Of course I know this." After hearing Mei's question, Xiao Mao began to introduce Mei.

"The Orange Gym is a gym that specializes in normal-type Pokémons. The gym trainer is a man named Qianli."

"Qianli?" When Xiaomao mentioned the name Qianli, there was a hint of solemnity in his tone, so he asked Xiaomao more curiously.

"Mr. Qianli is a very powerful trainer. Originally, his family belonged to the Chengdu area, but later they were invited by the Hoenn Alliance to take on the role of trainer of the Orange Gym."

"Among all the gym trainers in the Hoenn region today, the Orange Gym led by Mr. Chisato can be said to be the strongest gym."

"Orange Gym is the strongest gym in the Hoenn region!" After hearing Xiao Mao say that Orange Gym is the strongest gym in the Hoenn region, Mei also showed a surprised expression.

"That's right. The reason why the Orange Gym is known as the strongest gym is because Mr. Qianli has strength that is no less than the Four Heavenly Kings. He is also one of the candidates for the next Four Heavenly Kings in the Hoenn region." Xiao Mao continued after nodding.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Qianli actually has the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings. This is really a bit unbelievable!"

When Mei learned that Chisato had the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, a look of shock appeared on her little face.

"But don't worry, we are just doing a gym challenge, and Mr. Qianli won't use his full strength." Xiao Mao of course knew what Mei was worried about, so he comforted her.

"That's good." After hearing what Xiao Mao said, Mei finally felt relieved.

Although Mei won the championship of this year's Unova Region Higaki Tournament, she is still far from the level of the Elite Four.

Just after the two of them finished chatting about Chenghua Gym, they coincidentally arrived at the door of Chenghua Gym.

"Is this the Orange Gym? It doesn't look like it!" Looking at the Orange Gym that looked like a civilian house, if it weren't for the gym mark on the house, Mei wouldn't be sure that this was the Orange Gym.

"Although it's shocking, this is undoubtedly the Orange Gym we are looking for." Facing Mei's surprise, Xiao Mao shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Okay, let's go in."

After Mei finished expressing her feelings, Xiao Mao took her into the gym which looked like a private house.

After they walked into the gym, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge fighting arena, but there were not many people on it.

"Excuse me, is anyone here? We're here to challenge the gym."

After seeing that there was no one around, Mei, who was more lively, took the lead over Xiao Mao and started shouting.

Just as Mei finished her words, she heard a steady voice coming from inside.

"coming!"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a red jacket was seen walking out of the inner room of the gym with a referee.

"Hello, I'm Qianli, the gym trainer of the Orange Flower Gym."

After seeing Xiao Mao and Mei standing on the battlefield, Qianli gave a brief self-introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Qianli, I'm Xiaomao from Pallet Town."

"I'm Mei from Hinoki City."

Xiao Mao and Mei followed closely and briefly introduced themselves.

"Pallet Town?" After hearing that Xiaomao was from Pallet Town, Mr. Qianli looked at Xiaomao in surprise and said, "So you are Xiaomao!"

"Mr. Qianli, do you know Xiaomao?" Seeing that Qianli seemed to know Xiaomao, Mei was also very surprised.

On the contrary, Xiao Mao, who was familiar with the plot, had a bold guess in his mind.

Qianli's answer later confirmed that his guess was correct.

"I heard it from Xiaozhi. He said that you will definitely come to challenge our Orange Gym." Mr. Qianli's answer made Mei understand instantly.

"It's Xiaozhi!"

This is not surprising because during the trip, Xiao Mao had once mentioned to her his childhood friend Xiao Zhi.

"Yes, Xiaozhi once mentioned that you, Xiaomao, are also very strong. You are his best friend and biggest rival." Qianli was also recalling the time she spent with Xiaozhi.

"That guy Xiaozhi..." After hearing Xiaozhi mention him to Qianli, Xiaomao's face showed a little more smile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qianli, where is Xiaozhi now?" Then, Xiaomao asked Qianli about Xiaozhi's whereabouts.

"You mean Xiaozhi? He just left Chenghua City with my daughter Xiaoyao and son Xiaosheng the day before yesterday. He should be in Chenghua Forest now."

In response to Xiaomao's question, Qianli thought carefully for a while, and then told the approximate location based on the speed at which Xiaozhi and the others were traveling.

"Chenghua Forest?" After listening to Qianli's words, Xiaomao roughly understood the current stage of development of the plot.

"I understand. Thank you for your help, Mr. Qianli." Of course, Xiao Mao did not forget to express his gratitude.

"It's okay." Qianli waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Chisato, you just mentioned that your son and daughter are with Xiaozhi?"

Mei, who was standing by, heard Qianli mention that his daughter and son left Chenghua City with Xiaozhi, so she became interested and asked this question.

"That's right. After all, this is the first time for Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng to travel far away independently. I am worried about their safety, so I asked Xiaozhi to take care of them." Having said that, Qianli also smiled slightly.

"With Xiaozhi taking care of them, I'm sure Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng should be fine."

Xiao Mao smiled in his heart when he saw Qianli believe that Xiaozhi could take good care of his children. He thought that it would be better to believe that I can fly than to believe that Xiaozhi can take good care of people now.

However, Xiao Mao did not say it. After all, Xiaozhi's babysitter, Xiaogang, was probably there at this time. With Xiaogang's strength, he would have no problem taking care of the three of them, so what Qianli said was not wrong.

After Xiao Mao, Mei and Qianli Qian chatted for a while, the relationship between them became closer.

However, they did not forget the main purpose of their trip, which was to carry out the gym challenge, so after the chat, the gym challenge between the three of them began.
