Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"System, check the rewards for taming Gengar and Riolu!"

At night, Xiao Mao was lying in the tent. Although he had closed his eyes, his mind was immediately focused on his system.

As Xiao Mao's mind moved, the two gift packages that had long been placed in the system space appeared in Xiao Mao's eyes.

In fact, these two gift packs had already been placed in the system space, but Xiao Mao was always on his way under the urging of Mei, so he didn't have time to check them for a while, and Xiao Mao also forgot about them.

Now that he finally remembered it, Xiao Mao was ready to look at the rewards for conquering Gengar and Riolu with anticipation.

"Open the gift bag!"

As Xiao Mao's mind moved, the original gift package disappeared instantly after a flash of light, and was replaced by several items in the system space.

These items are two cards, a black ribbon, and a purple-black crystal.

Two of the cards are already old news. They are qualification improvement cards that can improve the qualifications of the elves.

After seeing these two cards, Xiao Mao immediately used them on Riolu and Mook, and their qualifications were raised to the champion level at once.

As for the black ribbon, it is a black belt. When a fighting-type Pokémon carries it, it can enhance the power of the Pokémon's fighting-type moves.

Xiao Mao assigned this black belt to Riolu, whom he had just conquered.

Xiao Mao was a little confused about the last purple-black crystal for a while, but after reading the system introduction, Xiao Mao was also very surprised.

It turns out that this crystal is a ghost energy crystal, which contains a huge amount of ghost energy. Ghost elves can increase their strength by absorbing the energy in it.

However, the absorption will not happen all at once, but will be done slowly, becoming stronger slowly, so it will have no effect on the elf's foundation.

"I didn't expect that this kid Geng Gui would bring me such a big surprise."

Xiao Mao looked at the energy crystal in the system space and smiled slightly in his heart. At the same time, he also planned to give this ghost crystal to Gengar.

After all, the only ghost-type Pokémon Xiaomao has is Gengar, so who else could he give it to?

After arranging the reward he had just received, Xiao Mao fell asleep contentedly.

The next morning, after Xiaomao and his friends finished their breakfast and packed their luggage, they decided to set off for the small town ahead.

Melissa, the trainer of the Enno Gym who unexpectedly met Xiao Mao and the others yesterday, was also heading there, so at Mei's invitation, they temporarily went together.

"By the way, Miss Melissa, can you have a battle with me?"

On the way to the town, Xiao Mao challenged Melissa to a fight.

"Battle?" After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Melissa smiled and said, "Since I am a trainer on a journey, I will not refuse a battle."

Melissa's meaning was very clear, and she agreed readily.

"Why, Xiao Mao, are you planning to test my strength before challenging the Edge Gym?"

Melissa glanced at Xiao Mao and smiled gently.

"I have this idea." Xiao Mao did not deny it, so he nodded and admitted it in front of everyone.

"You are really frank." Melissa didn't dislike Xiaomao's straightforwardness.

"But the most important thing is that I want to improve my strength by battling with trainers." This is Xiao Mao's real thought.

"Is that so? I understand." After hearing Xiaomao's words, Melissa also looked at Xiaomao deeply.

"I'll come too!" Seeing this, Mei and Toru also became interested and prepared to challenge Melissa to a fight.

"Of course, I agree to all your requests for a fight." Facing the challenge from Xiao Mao and the other two, Melissa agreed directly.

"But our current situation is not suitable for fighting, so let's fight after we reach the town ahead."

Melissa thought about the current situation and made a suggestion to Xiao Mao.

"no problem!"

"can!"

Xiao Mao and the other two naturally had no objection to this.

"There is one more thing I need to make clear. After this battle, you will not be able to get my badge!"

After saying that, Melissa raised her index finger and teased Xiao Mao and the other two.

“Haha, that’s exactly what we want,” Xiao Mao smiled at Melissa’s teasing and said, “This way, when we return to Yuanzhi City, we can still have a fight with you, Miss Melissa!”

"That's true!" After hearing Xiaomao's answer, Melissa also smiled.

Because of the battle, Xiao Mao and his team's speed in heading to the town increased a lot.

So, by speeding up, Xiao Mao and his friends arrived at a small town before noon.

After arriving at the Pokémon Center in the town, Xiaomao and his friends did not rush to challenge like Xiaozhi did upon arriving in the town. Instead, they checked in at the Pokémon Center, had lunch, and had a good rest before preparing to start the battle.

As for the battle venue, there are several public ordinary battle venues behind the Pokémon Center, which is the venue where Xiaomao and his friends are about to fight.

However, because there are relatively few trainers in the small town, there was a situation where there was no one on the battlefield.

Therefore, Xiao Mao and his friends and Melissa obtained the right to use the battlefield without any hindrance.

After arriving at the battle venue, Xiao Mao and the other two stood on opposite sides of the venue with Melissa.

As usual, the first person to appear and fight Melissa was naturally Xiao Mao.

After seeing Xiaomao walk out and take position, Melissa on the opposite side shouted to Xiaomao: "Xiaomao, since this is an ordinary battle, how about we adopt a one-on-one battle mode this time?"

"Okay!" Xiao Mao nodded slightly.

"Then let's get started!" After seeing Xiaomao agree, Melissa, as a senior and gym trainer, immediately took out her Poké Ball.

"Then we'll go first, Dream Demon!"

As a ghost-type gym trainer, Melissa naturally sends out ghost-type Dream Demons.

"It's a dream demon!" Looking at Melissa's dream demon, Xiao Mao's eyes flashed slightly.
