When another day passed, Ash was forced to stay in the forest for a night of rest because he saw the elves and walked around, so that the journey was delayed.

Xiao Gang was in charge of making dinner, because it was a forest, Xiao Xia was afraid of insects, so it was naturally impossible for Xiao Xia to find water or firewood. The only ones left were Ash and Shigeru who spontaneously accepted these two things.

Shigeru and Ash take Pikachu and Eevee around the forest, but fortunately, Shigeru remembers the way, and there is a water source nearby, so it is done quickly.

It's just that on the way back, Xiao Mao deliberately slowed down. He asked, "Ash, how do you feel about Xiao Ming's training a few days ago?"

"I don't like it. Ash gave his answer. It was on the way to Dead Leaf City that I heard from a defeated guy that there was a guy who was only one battle away from winning a hundred battles. After watching his training, Ash was slightly dissatisfied, but the elf loved that person. And Xiao Gang didn't say anything about that person's fault, although he knew that the elves had no complaints, Xiao Ash still felt uncomfortable.

"Every trainer's approach to training is unique. I don't expect you to understand anything from this, so what do you think about Pikachu's training?" Xiao Mao knew that Xiao Zhi would not like Xiao Ming's seemingly compulsive training. The reason why he mentioned that incident was just to ask Ash if he had a preliminary plan for the training of his elves.

"What do you mean by not expecting, it's good to train according to the previous one, what else is the way of thinking?" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but shout when he heard the tone of Xiao Mao's words that he didn't expect. Really, he will definitely impress this guy Xiao Mao! There is nothing wrong with his training!

"Heh, when will you be able to change this problem of frizziness? Xiaozhi, just like you, if you want to win me, it will be eight hundred years earlier. Xiao Mao continued to suppress Xiao Zhi, looking at Xiao Zhi's appearance of wanting to blow up, Xiao Mao felt that it was almost over. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Don't be in a hurry to speak, let me ask you, what skills can Pikachu learn?"

"Electric shock, 100,000 volts, thunder, lightning flash, high-speed movement, high-voltage electric shock, shadow clone ......" Ash replied confidently, he had a good trick to carry Pikachu after getting it. So he won't be stumped by Xiao Mao's lightness, he won this game, right?

Pikachu on the side saw that Ash said some of his tricks, and looked at Xiao Mao's expression again, and was relieved to find Xiao Mao's flash of satisfaction. It was worried that its trainer wouldn't be able to answer the question, but it did.

Eevee squealed a few times to comfort him, it's really hard for Pikachu to have such a trainer. Pikachu nodded and complained to Eevee, but then said that Ash was good to him.

Over there, Eevee and Pikachu were doing their interactions, while Shigeru nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, these are skills that Pikachu can learn by leveling up." But there are some skills that need to be trained and taught to the elves. Do you know a skill that Pikachu can learn?"

"Huh, what kind of skill is that?" Ash suddenly became interested, and looked at Xiao Mao with bright black eyes. And Pikachu also looked at Xiaomao after hearing Xiaomao's words, what skills can it still learn?

"At this stage, you can train Pikachu to learn Steel Tail, so that you won't be overpowered against the rock-based elves. Xiao Mao thought about it for a while, Steel Tail is a basic skill, and if it is commanded properly, it will be a very useful skill.

"Pikachu's electric shock isn't going to be afraid of the rock-based guys. Hearing this, Ash said with some pride. Xiao Gang's little fist stone, isn't it still stunned by Pikachu? As long as it can increase Pikachu's power.

"If you don't want to learn, forget it, I originally wanted Eevee and Pikachu to learn together. Xiao Mao said indifferently, while Xiao Zhi said angrily, "You are so kind?"

"I really don't want to teach you at all, but I don't want Pikachu to be bullied by others. Ievee is going to have a hard time with me, right, Ievee. Shigeru looked at Eevee, and the corner of Eevee's mouth twitched at Mao's look. Don't overdo it, give an unknown "Booie"

Xiao Mao hooked his lower lip lightly, and watched Ash angrily shout at Pikachu and ask Pikachu to go back with him. Pikachu shook his head and looked at Ash with a blank eye, obviously trying to learn Iron Tail. It hadn't forgotten how badly it had been forced to be in the Pokémon Professional Research School today, and it was only after the fight that it had to beat that Galagala 1.

"I'll teach you!" Ash shouted angrily when he saw Pikachu not listening to himself so much. You don't have to find Xiao Mao to learn, you can teach it yourself!

"Will you?" Xiao Mao raised his eyebrows and looked at Ash, although he knew that Ash did teach Pikachu Steel Tail, but it seemed to take a long time, and it was mentioned by others.

"I!I!" Ash couldn't say the word for a long time.

"For Pikachu's sake, I'll teach you the method. As your old enemy, I will kindly remind you again, after the battle, you have to remember the previous battle and sum up the experience. In this way, you can better command your elves in battle. That being said, I don't think you'd do that with your personality, Ash. While saying the words he wanted to remind, Shigeru suppressed Ash, so that Ash could remember his words more.

"I, I'm going to make a training plan!I'll let Pikachu learn Iron Tail earlier than Ibu!" Ash shouted angrily, he would definitely teach Pikachu to learn Steel Tail before Shigeru! Then he asked, "Xiaomao, have you made a training plan for Eevee?"

"Well, Tong Guò's recent matches, I also have some understanding of Ibrahimovic's moves, and considering some feasible tricks, I think I can give it to Ibrahim. Shigeru answered Ash's question without hiding.

Ash nodded, it turned out that Xiao Mao had been preparing for this kind of thing a long time ago, no, he was going to start training Pikachu in earnest. "Pikachu, let's do it together!" Ash looked at Pikachu seriously. Pikachu also held his two little paws seriously, nodded and said, "Pikachu!"

Xiao Mao saw Xiao Zhi, whose confidence had swelled again, and looked at Eevee helplessly, and Eevee also looked at his trainer. Laughing helplessly, Xiao Mao went back.

When they returned, Xiaoxia asked them where they were going to find water and firewood, and they were worried that it would take so long.

Xiao Mao replied that because he had walked a little farther, it was getting dark. That's why I came back so late. Seeing that Ash and the others were fine, Xiaoxia didn't plan to ask too many questions.

And Xiao Gang asked Xiao Zhi to burn firewood, and Xiao Gang himself began to prepare the materials. Not only did he have to cook for them, but he also had to prepare food for the elves.

Because it was outside, everyone released the elves. Xiaoxia cleaned up for her elves, and Ash's elves had a quarrel with Xiaogang's elves.

After Ash burned the firewood, he went to design a training plan with confidence. Xiao Mao was going to help Xiao Gang, but he would soon deal with it when Xiao Gang used it, so he didn't need to help invite him back.

In desperation, Xiao Mao told Ash about the learning method of Steel Tail, and told Ash that it should be cyclical and gradual, not impetuous, which would affect the elf's feelings.

Ash said he knew, and began to jump into the action of designing a training plan. Seeing that everyone had something to do, Xiao Mao sat down next to Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi was not dissatisfied with this, and Xiao Mao was also used to sitting next to Xiao Ash.

Shigeru took out his computer from his backpack, opened it, and found the paper on the evolution of Pipsqueak and Moonstone into Picoxi, checked the text on it, and then called up the investigation he had asked Nika to do earlier, as well as Nika's discovery.

After confirming that it was correct, Xiaomao submitted his first paper. In terms of name, Xiao Mao put Nika in front of him, after all, most of the things were helped by Nika, and it was with Nika's insights that Xiao Mao's paper could have no gaps.

This paper is different from previous papers because Eevee's evolution has given Shigeru a revelation, and Shigeru is thinking about how to make certain Pokémon that need special items evolve naturally without the help of foreign objects. And Pippi's evolution into Pixie is Mao's first subject.

Fortunately, because Xiao Mao has the experience of his previous life, although he didn't collect much information this time, but fortunately, he got all the main things. So this thesis of the Tong guò, he has confidence.

When Shigeru told Nika that he would publish the paper, Nika congratulated Shigeru and said that the paper was very rigorous and would definitely pass it.

Xiao Mao expressed his gratitude for this, after all, this paper is an important factor in whether he can get the status of a junior researcher. Shigeru and Nika briefly said a few words, and then went their separate ways. Xiao Mao dragged Ash, who was scratching his ears and cheeks next to him, to eat, while Xiao Xia looked at Ash and Xiao Mao and nodded, she was right!

After eating, there was still some time before the rest, and Xiaomao took Eevee to train Iron Tail, and asked Ash if he wanted to follow. Ash pouted and said, who is going to go, and left with Pikachu himself.

Pikachu and Eevee, who were separated, sighed helplessly, and then left with their own trainers.

Xiaoxia ran to Xiao Gang, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked softly, "Xiao Gang, what do you think of the way Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi get along?"

"They have a good relationship. Xiao Gang thought for a moment and gave the answer he thought it was.

"But don't you think it's too much?" said Kasumi as she initially suspected herself, and listed the reasons for it, "I followed Ash at first because Ash broke my bike. However, later, Xiaomao said that he would compensate me on behalf of Xiaozhi. ”

"Isn't that great?" Xiao Gang asked puzzled, isn't it good that Xiao Mao is willing to compensate Xiaoxia for her bicycle?

"You see, the way Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi get along is obviously like three sentences of discord and they are about to quarrel. Xiaoxia shrugged her shoulders to express helplessness, and then continued, "However, I later found out that in fact, more often, it was Xiao Mao who teased Xiao Zhi to play. ”

"That means they have a good relationship. Xiao Gang suddenly became even more puzzled, what was Xiaoxia going to say.

"It's just because it's good, so it's even more suspicious!" Xiao Xia was about to die of Xiao Gang's sluggishness.

"So, Xiaoxia, what are you suspicious of? I think they get along quite normally. Xiao Gang was puzzled, what was Xiao Xia thinking? Sure enough, as long as he wasn't a beautiful and mature big sister, couldn't his brain waves keep up with the frequency?

"The relationship between Ash and Shigeru is not ordinary! I think Shigeru seems to like Ash. Xiao Xia nodded after speaking, to prove the credibility of her words.

"If Xiao Mao didn't like Xiao Zhi, he wouldn't have traveled with him, right?" Xiao Gang still didn't quite understand what Xiao Xia was talking about.

"However, you look at Xiao Mao's character, he has always been polite to us. But for Ash, that time was not a poisonous tongue, and the angry Ash fried his hair. Xiaoxia continued to talk about what she had observed.

"That's just as well. Xiao Gang packed up his things, put them back in his backpack, and put them next to Ash's backpack. Then he walked over and handed some snacks to Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia took it, took a bite, and continued, "And, I have noticed that Xiaomao seems to know Ash very well. Although I haven't competed with Xiao Mao, I always feel that I can't win against Xiao Mao. ”

"I also admit this, if it was Xiaomao, I would probably lose. "Although I haven't competed with Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao has competed with those trainers on the side of the road a few times, and after watching those battles, the concise and sharp fighting methods, especially Xiao Mao's calmness when he gave orders, made Xiao Gang feel a little bit like a rookie trainer who had just come out to travel.

"Xiao Gang, haven't you noticed?" Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Gang and asked helplessly.

"Notice what?" Xiao Gang asked puzzled, what didn't he notice?

"Shigeru has been teaching Ash yes in a way that provokes Ash. You see, today, Ash and Xiaomao came back late, but after Ash came back, he didn't know what to think over there, and he scratched his head from time to time. "Xiaoxia has always paid attention to Ash and Xiaomao, it's not that she has any strange habits, but the movements of those two, even if she doesn't want to see it, Ash may not be able to let it!

"That's true, Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi are rivals, right? But Xiao Mao is obviously much stronger than Xiao Zhi, why are they old enemies?" Xiao Gang was also a little suspicious of what Xiao Xia said.

"So, there's definitely something wrong with the two of them. Xiaoxia finally concluded.

"What are you talking about?" because it was dark, Xiao Mao came back early with Eevee. When I came back, I saw that Xiaoxia and Xiaogang seemed to be chatting about something, and they chatted happily.

"Eh, I didn't talk about anything......" Xiaoxia's body stiffened unnaturally when she saw Xiao Mao. As soon as she finished talking about the main master, the main lord came back, and her luck was so good......

"Is that so?" Xiao Mao looked at it suspiciously, but it made Xiao Xia even more empty. He said, "We...... We're just going to talk about those students who are at the Pokémon Professional Research School today. ”

"Oh. Xiao Mao nodded, reluctantly accepting the answer. And Xiaoxia saw that Xiao Mao seemed to be a little suspicious, so she asked, "Xiao Mao, what do you think of that school?"

"There's a lot to learn there, but it's a place of opportunism. Personally, I think that we can learn a lot during the journey, and that knowledge is dead, but man is alive. Can't be tied there. However, if you are unable to participate in the gym competition due to some delays, it is okay to qualify for the tournament in the short term. Xiao Mao calmly said his opinion.

"Hmph, what's so good about that place. "Ash, who just came back, happened to hear Xiaomao's remarks, and the place he had just been during the day, Ash still can't forget it in such a short period of time. So when he knew what Xiao Mao was talking about, he expressed disdain.

"At the very least, it's a lot better than you as a trainer with a bad foundation. When Xiao Mao saw Xiao Zhi, he couldn't help but sarcastically say two sentences, telling Xiao Zhi not to cross his feet.

"Hmph, the foundation is good, isn't it easy for me to defeat you!" Ash shouted unconvinced. Xiao Mao always pressed him with the foundation all day, but he didn't win once. This time, he defeated Yuto Sundae, a top student at the Pokémon Professional Research School, he can also defeat Shigeru, right?!

"Easy to defeat?Pikachu's later battle was so chaotic, it's still called an easy victory?No wonder, you were easily defeated by Xiao Ming a few days ago. Xiao Mao deliberately mentioned the name of the extremely unwilling challenger that Xiao Zhi lost.

"I'm going to beat him!" Ash shouted angrily, he definitely won't lose a second time!

"Let's hope so, given that someone has only beaten ten roadside characters, they start to bend their feet. Xiao Mao deliberately mentioned.

"I didn't have my feet crossed!" Ash looked at Xiao Mao angrily, and Xiao Mao smiled and whispered, "I hope so." ”

Xiaoxia looked at Xiao Gang and said, 'Look, their relationship is really not ordinary. Xiao Gang also sighed helplessly in his heart, Xiao Mao is obviously very mature, why does he become ...... when he meets Xiao Zhi What about childishness?

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, Pikachu and Eevee are a little tired after training for so long. There's some fruit here, give them something to eat. Xiao Gang interrupted the conversation between Xiao Mao and Xiao Ash with a speech, and then handed the fruit to Xiao Ash and Xiao Mao.

The two said thank you and went to feed Pikachu and Eevee. And Pikachu and Eevee, who were resting, looked at each other, and there was a little helplessness in their eyes.

But when Ash eats fruit for Pikachu, Pikachu's ripe helplessness instantly turns into a smile of enjoyment. Seeing this, Eevee could only sigh speechlessly.

"By the way, Xiao Mao, I wanted to ask you a few days ago, what is the matter with the chain you brought to Yibu?" Xiao Gang asked. Previously, after leaving Hualan City, Xiao Mao suddenly said that he wanted to buy something. So they followed Xiao Mao from store to store together.

Finally, in a merchandise store, Shigeru took an inconspicuous chain and put it around Eevee's neck. At that time, Xiao Mao seemed to be quite happy, it should be an important item, right? Although the price of buying it, it is cheap.

"That's the Immutable Stone. Ordinary people use it as an ordinary stone, and occasionally make decorations. I didn't expect such an inconspicuous thing to be there. Shigeru replied. He didn't expect it to be there, and he was a little worried that Ibu would evolve prematurely because of his personality.

"Is it any use?" Xiao Gang was a little confused when he heard this, and Xiao Zhi also looked at Xiao Mao with doubts in his eyes. What's that?

"Prevent Ibu from evolving. Xiao Mao thought, they may not be able to understand all of them after explaining so much, so let's talk about the simplest and most common ones.

"Eevee, evolution?" Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Mao puzzled, as if he hadn't heard of Eevee's evolutionary type.

"The Internet recently posted that Ibrahimovic has an evolutionary type of problem. And I'm studying evolution myself. I found that Eevee's genes were very unstable, and I was worried that Ievee would evolve early because of this, so I let him carry the Immutable Stone to stabilize the genes in his body, and when the time is right, he will be sure to evolve. Xiao Mao said what he thought.

Xiaoxia and they said 'oh', which is roughly understood. And Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and Xiaomao are also looking at Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi's expression stiffened, and finally he couldn't stand it and shouted, "What kind of expressions are yours!" Besides, it's really bad to evolve too early, and I still understand that. ”

'Oh!' Xiaoxia and Xiaogang nodded their heads. This is really understood. The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth twitched, what is this! Xiao Mao couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then said, "It's not early, let's rest." We're going to go back tomorrow. ”

"Well, hurry up and get out of this forest!" Xiaoxia couldn't help but shout. She's fed up with the insects in the forest!

"Goodnight, then, everybody. Xiao Gang lay in his sleeping bag and said to the others.

"Good night. The three of them said in unison. "Bouie. Eevee also greeted everyone, and Pikachu let out a slight "Pikachu." "As a finale. Two fluffy, JT elves huddled together and didn't feel cold at night. What will happen like this, everyone falls into a deep sleep, recuperating for the next day's journey. As for tomorrow, that's what you won't know until you wake up tomorrow......
