A snow mountain, blanketed in snow year-round and shaped like a sharp blade piercing the clouds, appeared before Su Hao, who was huddled in Incineroar's arms.
Because of the incident involving Latios and Latias, Su Hao had delayed setting off for his second Gym by nearly half a month.
It was now April 4th, right at the transition between spring and summer.
By all rights, the temperature should have been pleasant—not as cold as winter, nor as hot as summer.
In order not to delay his schedule for the upcoming National Youth Cup, Su Hao had no choice but to take a direct train to the second stop of his Gym challenge journey—Ice Peak City.
Before arriving in Ice Peak City, Su Hao had specifically glanced through its Qian Du Entry.
The entry clearly stated: [Ice Peak City experiences extremely low temperatures only during late autumn, winter, and early spring. At other times, aside from the perpetually snow-covered Ice Feather Mountain, long sleeves are sufficient within the city.]
Su Hao believed it, and he dressed accordingly.
Then he got burned.
No wonder that pretty train attendant had looked like she wanted to say something before he got off.
The moment he stepped out of the warm train carriage, a biting gust of wind with armor-piercing, enchanted true damage slammed into his face.
"!!!"
Wearing nothing but a long-sleeved hoodie and cropped jeans, Su Hao instantly experienced what it meant to fall into an ice cellar.
Even though he now possessed the Combat Power to form Aura Bullets with his bare hands and tear apart Elite Level Pokémon, he still could not endure this kind of freezing weather.
Waves of bone-piercing wind assailed him from every direction, forcing Su Hao to release Incineroar from its Luxury Ball.
"Ka-ao?"
[What's going on?]
