Elf: This little Mao is very different.

Just like that, Mei and Toru, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, suddenly hugged each other in public at the dock in Kaina City to express their true feelings to each other.

After expressing her longing for Toru to Xiaomao during this period, Mei took Toru and came to Xiaomao.

"Toruko, this is my friend, Xiaomao." When Mei came in front of Xiaomao, she introduced Xiaomao to Toruko.

After listening to Mei's introduction, Tohko glanced at Xiao Mao's handsome face and smiled: "Friend? I think it's your boyfriend!"

After Toruko revealed the truth, Mei's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Hello, I'm Mei's boyfriend Xiao Mao."

After seeing Mei's shy look, Xiao Mao smiled gently, then took a step forward and greeted Toruko.

Mei, who was standing by, turned even redder when she heard Xiaomao's self-introduction, especially when he introduced him as her boyfriend in front of her good friend Toruko. Her face, which was already slightly flushed, turned even redder in an instant, like a bright red apple, making people want to take a bite.

"Hello, I'm Toruko."

Compared to the shy Mei, Tohko introduced herself confidently after Xiao Mao's introduction.

"I know. I've heard about you from Mei."

"Oh, what did Mei and Bi mention about me?" After hearing what Xiaomao said, Toruko became interested and asked Xiaomao.

"It's about you and her traveling together in the Unova region." Xiao Mao answered in this way, and did not mention her defeat to Mei in the Higaki Conference.

"Mei didn't mention that I lost to her in the finals of the Higaki Tournament?"

After all, Toruko knew what kind of person Mei was, so she looked at Xiao Mao and Mei with a playful look.

"This...this..."

Faced with Touzi's question, Xiao Mao didn't know whether he should say it or not, so he froze for a moment.

"Let's leave the dock first." After seeing Toruko's playful look, Mei had to change the subject.

"Yes, yes, let's go back to the hotel first." Seeing this, Xiao Mao immediately cooperated with Mei: "We have prepared a hotel for you."

"Ok."

After seeing that Komo and Mei changed the subject, Tohko didn't pursue the matter further and just agreed.

After picking up Toruko, Xiao Mao and Mei did not stay at the pier, but rushed back to the hotel where they were staying.

After returning to the hotel, Xiao Mao and Mei quickly helped Toruko settle down in the hotel.

Because Xiaomao had previously booked a three-bedroom suite, he could still accommodate her even with the addition of a roommate.

After settling Toruko down, Xiao Mao and Mei did not stay in the hotel, but took Toruko with them to stroll around Kaina City.

While strolling, Xiao Mao, Mei, and Toru were all talking about what they had experienced during this period of time.

"By the way, Toru, are you also going to challenge the Hoenn Alliance?" While shopping, Mei suddenly asked Toru.

"Since we have come to the Hoenn region, we must challenge the gym."

In response to Mei's question, Toruko shrugged her shoulders and said something.

"Since Toruko is going to challenge the Hoenn Alliance, would you like to travel with us?"

After hearing that Toru was also preparing to challenge the Hoenn Alliance, Xiao Mao invited Toru to join him.

"Of course I want to be with Mei!" After hearing this, Toruko agreed.

"If Toruko wants to join us, how are you going to get the three gym badges we got earlier?"

After hearing that they were going to travel together in the Hoenn region and challenge the Hoenn Alliance, Mei expressed her concerns.

"Xiao Mao and I have completed the challenges of three gyms."

"Well," Toruko was stunned for a moment when she heard this. After all, she was not very familiar with the Hoenn region.

"That's nothing." Xiao Mao noticed the two people's concerns, so he smiled and said, "We can come back and continue the challenge later. We have plenty of time, so there's no need to worry."

"That's good." Mei felt relieved after hearing this.

"Then, brother Xiaomao, my future arrangements in the Hoenn region will be left to you." After seeing that the problem was solved, Touko said to Xiaomao with a smile.

"No problem." Xiao Mao agreed readily.

After deciding to travel with Toruko, Xiao Mao and the other two continued to stroll along the streets in Kaina City.

When we arrived at the large square in Kaina City, we saw quite a few trainers engaging in fierce Pokémon battles on the battlefield in the square.

After seeing these battles, Xiao Mao and the other two stopped and watched the fights between these trainers.

After watching for a while, Touzi also became interested.

"After watching these battles, I feel a little itchy," Touzi said, looking at Xiaomao beside him: "Xiaomao, do you want to have a battle too?"

"Touzi, are you trying to see my strength?"

Xiao Mao also saw what Touzi was thinking, so he looked at Touzi with a smile.

"Of course, I just take this opportunity to see the strength of our future opponents in the Caiyou Conference." After being seen through by Xiaomao, Touzi said this openly.

"Xiao Mao, I wonder if this is possible?"

After saying that, Touzi turned her gaze to Xiao Mao.

"Of course." Faced with something that could increase the elves' experience, how could Xiao Mao refuse? So he agreed directly.

"Okay, that's great." Seeing Xiao Mao agree so readily, Touzi was very satisfied: "Then let's get started!"

After saying that, Touzi prepared to get up and go to a battle field in front of her to fight with Xiaomao.

"Hey, have you decided to fight now?" Mei was surprised that the two decided to fight so quickly.

"Mei, haven't you heard about this from other trainers?" Toruko asked, looking at Mei's surprised face.

"What did you hear?" When asked by Toruko, Mei was suddenly confused.

"As long as the trainers' eyes meet, a Pokémon battle will take place. This is the trainer's rule!"

Xiao Mao and Touzi looked at each other and answered in unison.

"Hey, is there such a rule?" Mei was also surprised after hearing this.

"Of course." Touzi nodded.

"It's just that there are a lot of people here, so let's go back to the hotel."

However, after Xiao Mao saw that almost all the battle sites were occupied, he suggested to Touzi, "It just so happens that there is a battle site in the hotel we are staying in."

"no problem."
