Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"I finally defeated Miss Melissa and got the Relic Badge. It wasn't easy!"

After Xiaomao, Mei and Toruko defeated Melissa and obtained the ruins badge of the Yokai Gym, Xiaomao and the others set out on the journey back to the Pokémon Center.

Thinking back to the previous gym battle with Melissa, even after a long time, Mei was still reminiscing about it.

"I feel the same way!" Toruko nodded, agreeing with Mei's opinion.

"As gym trainers, they all have the responsibility to protect the city's safety, so it's natural that they are strong."

Xiao Mao also has his own opinion on this: "It's just that when facing different challengers, they will use different strengths to deal with them."

"That's true." Mei and Toruko, who were aware of the situation, also agreed deeply.

On the way back to the Elf Center, Xiao Mao and the others were walking and chatting.

Just when Xiao Mao and his friends turned a street corner, a figure suddenly emerged from the corner and bumped into Xiao Mao who was in the middle of the three people.

But as a super-human from Pallet Town, Xiao Mao naturally didn't take the collision seriously, which resulted in the reckless guy falling to the ground.

Xiao Mao and the others looked closely at this time and saw a young man with short golden hair falling to the ground.

Xiao Mao looked at the blond boy and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

"Who is it? Don't you know that you should be careful of people when you turn a corner?"

The blond boy fell to the ground, complaining while touching his injured hip.

"Hey, I say, it was obviously you who didn't look at the road!" After hearing the man say this, Mei felt very indignant, so she immediately shouted at him.

"You know, I was injured!" After hearing Mei's dissatisfied words, the blond boy was also quite dissatisfied.

"This is all your own fault." Xiao Mao spread his hands and said innocently.

"Forget it, I'll just be unlucky this time!" The blond boy knew it was his fault, so his voice suddenly became smaller.

"That's obviously the case." Mei said, pouting.

"Wait!" At this moment, the blond boy looked at Xiao Mao and the others, especially after seeing Xiao Mao standing in the center of the team, he immediately shouted.

He walked up to Xiaomao, pointed at Xiaomao and shouted, "Aren't you the top three of the Hoenn Region Saiyou Tournament, Xiaomao, Mei, and Touko?"

"Do you know me?" Xiao Mao was a little surprised when he saw the blond boy calling out his name, so he raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course, I saw your game, you guys are awesome!" At this point, the blond boy shouted excitedly.

"Then you are..." Seeing that the blond boy knew her and looked very excited, Mei put aside her previous unhappiness and asked his name.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Axun from Futaba Town!" After hearing Mei's question, the blond boy, Axun, immediately introduced himself briefly.

"Axun!" Mei and Toru looked at each other. This was the first time they heard this name.

"Ah Xun!" When Xiao Mao heard this name, he immediately remembered that he should be one of the opponents Xiaozhi met in the Sinnoh region.

In the Sinnoh Lily of the Valley Tournament, she achieved a good result of being among the top 16.

Before Xiao Mao and the others could continue to say anything, A Xun continued, "And I also heard about your situation from Shinji!"

"Do you also know Shinji?" Xiao Mao was also surprised when he heard Axun mention a familiar name.

"Well, Shinji is really strong!"

Recalling the battle with Shinji, Axun said he was quite impressed.

"Is that so?" Xiao Mao nodded after hearing this.

"By the way, Axun, I saw that you looked in a hurry just now. Is there something urgent?" At this time, Mei remembered Axun's reckless look just now, and asked curiously.

"Of course!" Ah Xun nodded, and then said: "I am going to the Yuanzhi Gym to challenge the gym trainer Miss Melissa."

"Are you preparing to challenge the Edge Gym?"

After hearing what A Xun said, Xiao Mao and the others understood instantly.

"No wonder you were in such a hurry just now. You didn't even look at anyone when turning."

"I'm worried that I'll go too late and won't be able to complete the challenge!" After hearing what Xiaomao and the others said, A Xun suddenly felt embarrassed.

"But it's indeed too late for you to go to the Yuanzhi Gym now."

However, Touzi's words made Axun feel surprised and regretful.

"What did you say?" After hearing Touzi's words, Axun was a little bit unbelievable.

"Ms. Melissa's museum is closed today, so you can't go and challenge her." Touzi said something that made Axun feel disappointed.

"Eh!" After hearing it clearly, Ah Xun made an unbelievable sound.

"How did you know?" A Xun asked hurriedly after a scream.

"Because we just completed the challenge!" Mei said with a smile.

"Look, this is the relic badge of the Yuu Gym." After saying that, Mei also showed the relic badge he had just obtained.

"It's really a relic badge!" Looking at the relic badge in Mei's badge box, A Xun showed an envious expression.

"A Xun, you should go tomorrow!" Touzi also reminded.

"That's the only way." Having said this, Ah Xun looked lost.

Seeing Axun looking lost, just when Xiaomao and the others were about to comfort Axun, they were surprised by Axun's reaction the next moment.

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

At this moment, A Xun suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Mao among the three with serious and excited eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mao was startled when he was looked at by A Xun.

"Xiao Mao, can I fight with you once?" As A Xun said this, he came up to Xiao Mao and expressed his thoughts.

"I want to know what kind of strength the champion of the Caiyou Conference has."

"Battle?" After hearing Ah Xun's request, Xiao Mao looked around and said, "Although I really want to agree to you, there doesn't seem to be a suitable place nearby!"

"It's okay, we can go back to the Pokémon Center and fight again!" A Xun replied quickly.

"Then I have no problem."

After seeing Axun's reaction, Xiaomao had no choice but to agree.
