Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Xiao Mao, can you tell me about the Sinnoh region?"

After hearing Xiaomao mention an unfamiliar area, Xiaozhi, who always liked traveling, immediately lit up his eyes.

"Of course." Xiao Mao did not refuse this little thing, so he told Xiaozhi some information about the Sinnoh region.

"The Sinnoh region is just like the previous regions we visited. All you have to do is complete the eight gyms and obtain their badges before you can participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference held by the Sinnoh Alliance."

"Lily of the Valley Conference!" After hearing about the alliance conference, Xiaozhi became more excited: "I want to challenge the Sinnoh Alliance!"

"In addition to the various gyms and alliance conferences, there are also Pokémon living in the Sinnoh region that are completely different from those in our Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions."

Every word of Xiaomao's introduction aroused Xiaozhi's curiosity. Especially after hearing that there were new Pokémon and a new alliance conference in the Sinnoh region, he wanted to go to the Sinnoh region more and more.

"I really want to go to the Sinnoh region!" Xiaozhi is now full of desire for the Sinnoh region.

"You don't want to go now, do you?" Looking at Xiaozhi's eager look, Xiaomao's mouth twitched slightly.

"Of course, new regions, new Pokémon, this is awesome!" Xiaozhi excitedly shouted to Xiaomao, "I can't wait to go to the Sinnoh region!"

"I say, have you forgotten about Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng? They may not necessarily go to the Sinnoh region." Although Xiaomao had expected Xiaozhi's performance, he still slapped his forehead helplessly.

"And Aunt Hanako, it's been a long time since you went back to see her!"

So Xiaomao had to use Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and his mother to remind Xiaozhi.

"Oh, that's right." After being reminded by Xiaomao, Xiaozhi suddenly came to his senses and gave an awkward smile.

"Now that your journey in the battle frontier has come to an end for the time being, you must first say goodbye to Xiaoyao and the others, and don't forget to accompany Aunt Hanako for a while."

Xiao Mao patiently persuaded Xiaozhi, who only wanted to go out and travel.

"I understand." Although Xiaozhi agreed, Xiaomao didn't know whether he would do it or not.

After Xiao Mao saw that Xiao Zhi agreed, he stopped caring about it. He had already mentioned everything that needed to be mentioned. It was Xiao Zhi's own business how to do it specifically.

"Okay, it's getting late, time to go back!"

Seeing that it was already late, Xiao Mao stopped chatting with Xiao Zhi and said goodbye before returning to his room.

...the dividing line...

Satoshi has finished his battle with Kamiyo, so Shigeru's business in Fennel Valley is over, so he did not stay any longer. Instead, he followed Mei, Toru and Professor Oak and returned to Pallet Town.

And because Xiao Mao and the other two had just returned to the Kanto region, they were not in a hurry to go to the Sinnoh region. Instead, they stayed in the Oak Laboratory and rested for a few days.

During the time that Mao and the others were resting, Satoshi did the same as in the original story. He saw off Haruka and Kacchan who were returning to the Hoenn region, and sent Brock back to Nibe City, and finally returned to Pallet Town.

However, Xiaozhi, who had just returned to Pallet Town, learned about the new area, namely the Sinnoh area, from Shiro. He only rested at home for a day and then took a ship to the Sinnoh area without stopping.

Now, only Aunt Hanako is left at home, silently worrying about her son's safety.

I have to say that this guy Xiaozhi, whenever he takes his Pokémon out traveling, he doesn't care about anything else at all. He even forgets the things that Xiaomao reminded him before.

"I say, Xiaomao and Xiaozhi have already set off for the Sinnoh region, shouldn't we set off as well?"

Mei, who had rested for a few days, had recovered her energy. Seeing Xiaozhi leaving, Mei became a little anxious, so she urged Xiaomao.

"Xiaozhi is going to the Sinnoh region by ship, so we can take a plane. It's faster than him, so there's no need to be in a hurry."

Looking at Mei who was a little anxious, Xiao Mao said with a smile.

"That makes sense!" After comparing the means of transportation, Mei felt that there was some truth to it.

"But I still want to get to the Sinnoh region as soon as possible!"

"But since you're already urging us so much, let's set off tomorrow and head to the Sinnoh region!"

As for Xiao Mao, since he had heard that Mei wanted to go to the Sinnoh region, Xiao Mao agreed.

It just so happens that Xiaomao and the others have enough time to rest during this period of time.

"Then it's settled, we'll set off tomorrow!" After hearing Xiao Mao say that they would set off tomorrow, Mei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes." Xiao Mao nodded slightly.

"Then I'll tell Toruko now and go back to pack my luggage!" After saying that, Mei couldn't wait to leave Xiaomao.

"Okay, I should pack my own bags!"

On Xiao Mao's side, looking at Mei who had already left, shook his head, and got up to pack his luggage.

Of course, Xiao Mao would not forget to buy the plane ticket online in advance.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Xiaomao and the other two, who had already prepared their luggage, walked out of the door of the institute.

"Xiao Mao, are you going to the Sinnoh region now?" Looking at Xiao Mao and the other two who were already ready, Professor Oak still felt a little reluctant.

"That guy Xiaozhi has already set out for a while, and I don't want to fall behind him." Xiaomao nodded and replied.

"Okay." After hearing Xiao Mao say this, Dr. Oak didn't say anything else.

"By the way, aren't you taking those Pokémons with you?" At this time, Professor Oak remembered the Pokémons that Xiaomao left behind, and asked Xiaomao.

"If I bring them with me, the number of items I carry will exceed the limit." Xiao Mao shook his head and said, "But if Grandpa can lift the restrictions on me, I can bring them with me."

"Then just pretend I didn't ask." After hearing Xiao Mao's meaningful words, Dr. Oak's face instantly darkened.

"Okay, Grandpa, it was just a joke."

After looking at his grandfather's expression, Xiao Mao smiled gently and then explained the reason.

"Bangilas, Boskodora, Electric Beast, and Pterosaur, their strength has reached a bottleneck. Some normal training can't improve their strength. It's better to keep them here, accumulate energy, and break through to the King level in one fell swoop."

Xiaozhi paused and continued, "With your guidance, they will surely improve faster."

This is also the reason why Xiao Mao left Bankiras and the others in the Oak Research Institute.

"I understand. I will pay attention to it." Professor Oak nodded when he heard it.

"Then we'll leave." After giving the instructions, Xiao Mao and the other two prepared to turn around and leave.

"By the way, don't forget to go to Dr. Yamanashi's research institute to get your Pokémon illustrated books!" Looking at Xiao Mao and the other two leaving, Dr. Oak gave them one last instruction from behind.

"understood!"

In response, Xiao Mao just waved his hand and started their new journey.

As for the little guy Nebula, he suffered from indigestion because he had eaten a lot of high-quality ability cubes from his grandfather, Professor Oak, during this period of time. So he could only fall asleep in the Master Ball and consume the accumulated energy in this way.
