Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Bye now!"

"Come back when you have time!"

The next morning, at the door of Koharu's maid cafe, after receiving some Moo Moo milk purchased from Koharu and her sisters, Xiao Mao, Mei and Toru said goodbye to Koharu and her two sisters.

After leaving the maid cafe, Xiao Mao and the others continued on the road leading to Veil City.

Xiao Mao was walking on the road, and even though a long time had passed, he was still recalling the feeling of last night that could only be understood but not described.

Looking at Xiaomao with a nostalgic look on his face, Touzi, who knew Xiaomao's character, had no idea what Xiaomao was thinking about.

So he rolled his eyes at Xiao Mao and continued to walk forward with Mei. Mei, who didn't understand what was going on, had to speed up her pace and catch up with Touzi in front of her.

At this time, Xiao Mao, who had just woken up, looked at Mei and Toruko who were already walking in the front, and Toruko's rolling eyes. He had no idea what was going on.

Helplessly, he also quickened his pace and caught up with Mei and Toruko in front of him.

...the dividing line...

"How far is it from Veil City now?"

After traveling for several days in a row and spending time outdoors, Mei became a little impatient, so she started complaining before even reaching Veil City.

"We are very close to Curtain City. We will arrive there in about an hour or two."

After hearing Mei's complaint, Toruko, who was checking the map on her phone, immediately looked up and answered Mei's question.

"Really?" After hearing the news, Mei, who was originally weak, immediately recovered and looked at Toruko excitedly.

"Would I lie to you?" Touzi raised her eyebrows and said.

"That's great!" After receiving Toruko's affirmative answer, Mei immediately shouted happily.

"Well, let's hurry up and get to Curtain City as early as possible."

Xiao Mao looked at Mei who was very excited, and immediately spoke out to stop her.

"Okay!" After learning that Veil City was nearby, Mei agreed with a smile.

So under the leadership of Xiao Mao, the three continued to move towards Veil City.

When Xiao Mao and his friends arrived at a forest outside Veil City, they suddenly heard a noise, which caught their attention.

"Did you hear any sound?" Xiao Mao stopped and looked at Mei and Toruko beside him.

"I heard it too."

"Me too."

Mei and Toru naturally also heard the strange noise, so they nodded.

After making sure that he had not heard wrongly, Xiao Mao pricked up his ears and began to listen to the unusual noise.

“The sound is here.”

Xiao Mao quickly identified the direction from which the sound came, so he took Mei and Toruko with him and walked towards the source of the sound.

Before Xiao Mao and the others got close to the source of the sound, they heard the sound becoming clearer and clearer.

I heard a clear female voice coming from the open space in front, and along with it was the voice of an elf.

"Lucario, punch faster!"

"Luca!"

Obviously, the sound that Xiao Mao and the others heard just now was made by this girl and her Lucario.

After hearing these two voices, Xiao Mao and the other two looked at each other and continued walking towards that direction.

However, because Xiao Mao and the others did not hide their thoughts, when they approached the girl, the sound quickly reached her and Lucario's ears.

"Who is it?" After hearing the sound of Xiaomao and the others approaching, the girl immediately stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction they were coming from.

Lucario beside him also stopped and looked ahead vigilantly.

"Sorry to bother you, we are not bad people!"

After hearing the girl's scolding, Mei came out from behind the tree, waved her hand and said.

"Who are you?" Seeing Xiao Mao and the other two coming out, the girls gradually became less vigilant.

"We are trainers passing by here, heading to Veil City precisely."

Xiao Mao took the initiative to stand up and introduced himself: "I am Xiao Mao from Pallet Town."

"Hello, I'm Mei from the Unova region!"

"My name is Toruko!"

Mei and Toruko followed closely and briefly introduced themselves.

"Hello." After seeing Xiao Mao and the other two who had no ill intentions at all, the girl completely dispelled her guard and introduced herself: "I am Ah Li from Veil City, and this is my partner Lucario."

After Ah Li's introduction, Lucario nodded and greeted Xiao Mao and the others.

"Ali, this name sounds so familiar!" After hearing the girl's name, Ali, Touzi felt a sense of familiarity.

"Toruko, have you met Li before?" Mei, who was standing nearby, became curious after hearing Toruko's words.

"I remember we should have never met!" After looking at Touzi, Ah Li shook his head and said.

"What's going on?" Mei became more curious after receiving a negative answer.

"The reason why Toruko has an impression of Miss Li is because Miss Li is a gym trainer in Veil City!" At this time, Xiao Mao stood up and explained for Mei and the others.

"Yes, that's right, I remember, Li is the gym trainer in Veil City." After Xiaomao's reminder, Touzi reacted instantly.

"So, Miss Li, you are also a gym trainer!" Mei was a little surprised after hearing what Xiao Mao and Toruko said.

"Yes, I am the gym trainer in Veil City." After seeing Xiao Mao and the others recognize him, Li did not hide it and nodded directly.

"That's great!" Mei felt very happy after getting the definite answer.

"It just so happens that the three of us are going to challenge the Curtain Gym!"

"Are you challenging the Sinnoh League?" After hearing Mei's words, Li also understood why Xiao Mao and the others came.

"That's right." Xiao Mao and the other two nodded together.

"I wonder, Miss Li, when will you have time to accept our challenge?" After nodding, Xiao Mao continued to ask Li.

"Today and tomorrow are my time to rest." After hearing Xiaomao's words, Ali thought for a while and gave an answer.

"How about this, you guys come to my Curtain Gym the day after tomorrow, and then I'll accept your challenge, is that okay with you?"

"Okay." Xiao Mao had no objection to this and naturally agreed.

"Then let's see each other the day after tomorrow!" After seeing Xiao Mao and the others, Ah Li agreed on a time.

"it is good."

In the forest outside Veil City, Xiao Mao and his friends unexpectedly met Li, the trainer of Veil Gym. After agreeing on a time to challenge Li at the gym, Xiao Mao and his friends, who had to hurry on their way, did not continue to disturb Li's training.

After saying goodbye to Ali, Xiao Mao and the others continued to quicken their pace and headed towards Veil City.
