Three Years, and Another Three Years

"Xia Yan!"

The moment she entered the Pokémon Ranch shrouded in Salandit's poisonous gas mixed with pheromones, Ono hurried over to greet him.

"How is it? Are you getting used to it?" Xia Yan patted Ono's head.

Originally, Xia Yan had wanted to arrange for Ono to stay at the Gym.

But Ono was somewhat unaccustomed to that kind of environment, so in the end, she stayed at the Ranch with Kommo-o.
