After learning that Roy had been teleported here, Pryce's gaze fell on the female companion on Roy's back; he had noticed the woman on Roy's back long ago.
When Roy saw Pryce looking at Cynthia, he also remembered that he hadn't Pryce Cynthia to Liu Bo yet.
"Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Cynthia, the granddaughter of Professor Carolina, a renowned Mythology and historical scholar who came all the way from Sinnoh to study the Ruins..."
Pryce was speechless at Roy's heavy breathing, saying that after all those titles, he was just someone else's junior.
Seeing Pryce's expression, Roy could only think that what Pryce didn't know was that Cynthia would become the champion of the Sinnoh Region in the future.
Just as Roy was about to introduce Pryce to Cynthia, Pryce interrupted him.
"Come on, follow me, otherwise you'll never get out of this Snowfield."
Roy quickly came to Cynthia's side, picked Cynthia up, and then walked a few steps to Pryce's side.
Pryce carefully examined Cynthia on Roy's back, sighed, and said:
"You're a lucky guy, what a beautiful girl! How could she be so blind as to date you?"
Roy just chuckled and didn't refute.
Pryce's praise made Cynthia's face flush, and she turned her head away, no longer listening to their conversation.
"How's the Froslass's training going? You haven't been bullying my Froslass, have you?"
Upon hearing Roy's words, Pryce showed a look of disdain.
"You should have left the Froslass with me a long time ago. Her talent is being wasted on you. The Froslass is training right now. Come with me, I'll take you to see her."
After saying that, Pryce turned his wheelchair around and walked towards his back.
Roy quickly followed Pryce's wheelchair, and sure enough, the cold wind on the Snowfield could hardly penetrate within 1 meter of Pryce.
With Pryce leading the way, Roy was instantly filled with hope.
Cynthia, perched on Roy's back, looked at the mysterious old man and whispered in Roy's ear, asking about the old man's origins.
"Him? This old man is the gym leader of the Mahogany Town Gym. You can call him Pryce, just like me. He saw that my Froslass was exceptionally talented and insisted on helping me train her. I had no choice..."
Roy deliberately raised his voice so that Pryce, who was walking in front, could hear him.
Hearing Roy's words from behind, Pryce was speechless.
If it weren't for Cynthia being there, he would definitely have used his Walking Stick to hit Roy; he had never seen such a shameless person.
Agatha really needs to discipline Roy properly, otherwise who knows how Power Trip this brat will become next time.
I really don't know how Froslass could have a Pokémon Trainer like this.
However, Roy also truthfully informed Cynthia that the other party had a Champion level Delibird.
Upon learning that Pryce possessed a Champion level Pokémon, Cynthia was even more astonished.
Is this seemingly ordinary-looking old man really that strong?
After Harvest Cynthia's admiring gaze, Pryce felt proud but remained aloof, giving people the impression of being unapproachable.
After walking for another two minutes, a snow-capped mountain appeared before them.
This is the only scenery Roy has ever seen besides the vast white Snowfields.
Just as the group was about to reach the mountain pass, the wind and snow blowing from there became even stronger, much stronger than when Dragapult had been flying through the air.
Pryce raised his hand to stop Roy and Cynthia, and the Piloswine following behind them came in handy at this moment.
Ten Piloswine came up and surrounded Pryce, Roy, and Cynthia.
Then, ten Piloswine huddled together, forming four brown walls, and almost no snowflakes could be blown into the herd of mammoths.
Furthermore, the two milky-white ice tusks in front of the Piloswine acted like large snow shovels, clearing away the snow on the ground and creating a path for Roy and his companions.
Roy and Cynthia finally saw the color of the ground; due to year-round snow cover, the grayish-brown ground was hard and unyielding.
After walking for an unknown amount of time in the valley, Pryce suddenly stopped.
We've arrived.
Looking at the continuous snow-capped mountains in front of him, Pryce explained that this is the boundary mountain that separates the northern Snowfield from the Ice Path. As long as you walk out of the Ice Path, you can reach Mahogany Town.
Upon learning that they had finally escaped the Snowfield, Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally made it out.
Just as Roy was asking Pryce how to get across the snow mountain, the lead Piloswine suddenly crashed into the mountainside ahead.
A hole large enough for two people to pass through appeared where the Piloswine had just bumped into something.
The Piloswine surrounding Cynthia and Roy all dispersed, allowing Pryce and the others to pass through.
Pryce maneuvered the wheelchair into the cave, and Roy followed Cynthia behind Pryce.
Seeing Pryce and the others enter the cave, the lead Piloswine once again rammed into the mountainside. This time, the force of the Tackle was much greater. With a loud "boom," the snow on the mountain once again buried the cave entrance.
The cave is not dark because it contains glowing crystals.
Furthermore, there are many ice sculptures on both sides of the cave, all of which are Ice type Pokémon carved by Pryce himself, and they look very lifelike.
"Glaceon, look, it's you!"
Cynthia lay on Roy's back, looking at the surrounding statues, one of which was a statue of Glaceon.
Glaceon walked up to the statue and looked at the ice sculpture that was almost identical to itself, marveling at how beautifully it had been carved by Pryce.
As Roy walked, he felt the place looked familiar. Pryce didn't stop until he passed through the mountain passage and saw a very high, open-air ice cave.
Roy remembered that this was the cave that Roy had accompanied Pryce to choose as a suitable Dynamax Arena.
This place has now been transformed by Pryce into Dynamax Arena, complete with protective boundaries, a central Arena sign, an energy shield activation button, and more.
The only drawback is that there are no seats for spectators; there are only two ice-sculpted chairs with two cushions on them.
However, Pryce doesn't need an audience; this place was created entirely for him and his Pokémon.
Roy placed Cynthia on a chair made of ice sculpture, letting her sit and rest there for the time being, while he followed Pryce to visit the Arena that Liu Bo had built.
Glaceon greeted Cynthia and followed Roy to visit the Dynamax Arena, which resembled Crystal Ice Palace.
Just as Cynthia was about to check how her ankle was, a Delibird appeared beside her.
Cynthia had no idea when the Delibird had appeared. Luckily, the Delibird wasn't hostile; if it had been, she probably wouldn't have known why it cawed.
The Delibird handed a steaming cup of tea and a blanket to Cynthia.
"Thank you... thank you."
Cynthia accepted the tea and blanket offered by the Delibird, and draped the blanket over her legs.
When Cynthia turned back to look for the Delibird had already disappeared.
Cynthia suddenly remembered that Roy had just told her that Pryce had a Champion level Delibird.
Could it be... the same one that just handed me the tea?
Cynthia looked at the tea in her hand, wondering why it had suddenly become so precious.
Roy and Pryce arrived at the center of the Dynamax Arena.
Roy stomped hard on the ice, looked around at the scene, and nodded in satisfaction.
It was built exactly according to the design drawings he had provided earlier.
Pryce said that not only were the design drawings Roy had given him used here, but two other connected ice caves had also been opened up.
They also converted those two ice caves into training grounds.
Pryce talked as he walked, and stopped in front of a Transport Device.
This is the Transport Device the Pokémon League for him in exchange for his help.
This Transport Device not only connects to the Galar region he requested, but also to Pokémon Centers in other cities in the Kanto and Johto.
This is only applicable to transporting small items.
For example, Poké Balls, Evolution Stones, Berries weighing no more than five kilograms, or Pokéblock...
As he spoke, a Walking Stick appeared in Pryce's hand.
Roy thought the other person was going to hit him with their Walking Stick, so he quickly took two steps back.
"Old man, let's talk this out! Don't hit me!"
Instead of hitting him with his Walking Stick as Roy had expected, Pryce asked:
"You brat, how did you manage to stuff the Wishing Star into that Dynamax Pocket Watch?"
Why are you asking this?
Pryce raised his wrist, rolled up his sleeve, revealing a Dynamax Band.
For Pryce, building a teleportation portal was easy, let alone a Dynamax Band.
Pryce showed Roy the blue wristband in his hand, acting like a child showing off his toys to others.
He had originally wanted to put the Wishing Stone inside a Walking Stick like Roy did, but the response from the Galar region was that it was technically impossible.
So Pryce wanted to ask Roy how he triggered the Wishing Star in the Pocket Watch.
Want to make an ice Walking Stick just like yourself?
Roy was surprised that Pryce was so interested in jewelry.
This isn't a problem for Roy; as long as he creates an energy-activated device to trigger the Dynamax Factor of Wishing Star, there won't be any issues.
