……

Ryoto's training is in full swing, and in the woodland not far from Lyoto, Nanako and her two Pokémon are also training hotly.

Compared to the lover's desire for the progress of strength, Nanako's side is just to exercise the cold resistance of Miss Skirt and Meihua.

Going to the vast snowfield like the Monarch Snake to face the biting cold wind and blizzard is difficult to force, this kind of training is only suitable for the Monarch Snake, and Nanako has her own method on her side.

————

On the snow, a girl wearing warm snow boots and gloves takes out two scarves of different sizes from her carry-on bag and puts them on two Pokémon.

Although it is to improve the ability to withstand cold, the training is also gradual, otherwise it will not be beneficial for Pokémon.

After putting on the scarves of the two Pokémon, the girl took out a delicate tambourine.

"If it's cold, let's tap dance." The girl slapped the small tambourine in her hand and said to the two grass-type Pokémon.

"Neru—"

"Miri—"

The two Pokémon, shivering from the cold, squinted their eyes and smiled happily, obviously very moved by their own trainer's proposal.

"Then I'm going to start~" The girl raised the delicate tambourine in her hand and shook it to make a crisp sound.

"Neru—"

"Miri—"

The two grass-type Pokémon nodded happily, forgetting even the cold for a while.

"Let's begin, two little dancers, listen to the rhythm of the tambourine." Feeling the happy mood of Pokémon, Nanako's heart also fell to the ground.

Then, while tapping the tambourine in his hand, he led two Pokémon to a tap dance in the snow in the forest.

"Collapse~Collapse~Collapse~Collapse!!"

"Jingle bell—"

"Collapse~Collapse~Collapse~Collapse!!"

"Jingle bell—"

A simple tambourine emits a brisk and lively rhythm in the girl's skillful hands.

The two Pokémon also tap dance under the leadership of the girl.

Although there is no smooth stage or hard-soled dancing shoes, some are just the tambourine beats of trainers, and the soft snow under their feet, but both of them dance beautifully.

"Neru—"

"Miri—"

Two Pokémon bouncing on the snow, the melodious tambourine beat and the heartfelt laughter of the girl and the two Pokémon spread in the wind in the forest.

Not far away in a cedar forest.

A petite Pokémon who was playing a game of snowball throwing with his friends and was covered in a yellow conical cloak with orange edges suddenly seemed to hear something.

Throwing down the snowball in his hand, regardless of the retention of his friends, he resolutely disappeared into the bushes.

……

"Sayuri, beautiful, as the best dancer, even if the body feels cold, the dance moves must be the most standard."

"Because what we're doing isn't fighting, it's dance training." Nanako, who had warmed up, took off her gloves and tapped the tambourine with a pair of delicate white hands, saying to the two Pokémon.

"Neru—"

"Miri—"

The two Pokémon nodded seriously, following different trainers, the Pokémon will have different perceptions of themselves.

The Pokémon under the Ryokin consider themselves to be warriors, and they are super powerful Pokémon that can overwhelm their opponents in the arena.

And Nanako's two Pokémon, because of the influence of the trainer, their self-positioning and perception are dancers, even if they participate in a formal Pokémon competition, they should be engaged in a dance competition in their hearts.

The two Pokémon don't value how to fight, but they value their own dancing skills and the quality of a dancer.

Originally, because the weather was too cold, the body was a little frozen, and the dance steps became stiff and deformed, but after Nanako reminded her, the two Pokémon quickly adjusted.

"Very good—" Nanako encouraged.

The process of adjusting the stiff dance steps of the two Pokémon is actually a battle against cold weather, and so far the two Pokémon have not lost.

"Kick straight and toe the ground and lift up, only the ankle here." The girl kept reminding the two Pokémon while playing the rhythm.

"Kick your toes, bend your knees and then quickly lift up after hitting the ground with your toes, Sayuri's movements are very clean and neat, and you have to cheer for your beauty."

"Miri-" Meihua nodded earnestly, dancing in a chaotic manner, trying to keep up with the tambourine's beat.

"Collapse~Collapse~Collapse~Collapse!!"

"Jingle bell—"

"Collapse~Collapse~Collapse~Collapse!!"

"Jingle bell—"

In the snow, one man and two pets danced briskly and tap-danced, with happy expressions, and no one could have guessed that they were originally doing hardy training.

However, Nanako didn't know that at this moment, in the low bushes a few meters away from her, there was a pair of small blue eyes, which were watching her dance with serious curiosity.

This is the same elf who was playing a game of snowball throwing with his friends in the cedar forest just now, and was attracted by the tambourine beat and laughter.

Watch the human in the snow pat on the hand of the instrument it has never seen before, but it can make a pleasant sound, and two beautiful Pokémon bouncing around.

The little elf was first attracted by this strange activity, and then a strong desire to join in this activity was born.

It finds it much more fun to bounce around like this than to throw snowballs at each other with its friends, and it wants to bounce and play with each other.

However, the other party is a strange human and a strange elf, although it is very eager to join the other, but it is also a little timid and shy, but the strong desire to join the game finally overcomes the timidity in the heart.

Just as it was about to go out, the loud shouts of another human were heard not far from the snow.

"Nana - it's almost time, I'm going back to make lunch." On the other side of the snow, the lover shouted at the one man and two pets who were still dancing.

"Okay~" The girl responded, then stopped dancing, packed up her things and left with two Pokémon under the watchful eye of the elf in the bushes.

As the voices of the two humans talking and footsteps faded away, only messy footprints remained in the open snow.

"Mi-"

The elf came out of the bushes and came to the place where Nanako and the two Pokémon were dancing just now.

This time there is no need to be scared and shy, but the human and the bouncing two Pokémon have left.

"Mi~" The little guy looked at the dense footprints on the ground, and also learned the other party's movements just now and jumped happily on the footprints.

Soon the little one put away the smile on his face, stopped in frustration to imitate the other man's movements, and looked around at the empty snow.

I only felt very lost in my heart, and everything was boring, and it was not at all happy that I imitated the other party's actions just now.

"Mi~" looked up at the direction the human left, and the little guy's depressed eyes suddenly gave birth to a glimmer of hope.

"They'll be back!!"
