There was good reason for the long line at the Ferris Wheel.
Many of the ice sculptures were so tall that it was impossible to see them in full from below. To take in the whole view, you either needed an aerial shot or had to find a high vantage point yourself.
Seeing something through aerial footage from a drone or a Flying-type Pokémon was different from seeing it with your own eyes.
Under the multicolored lights, the entire ice city became a dazzling wonderland of glass.
As the cabin slowly rose, the ice sculptures below gradually shrank, while the outline of the entire kingdom of ice and snow grew clearer.
What had looked like nothing more than an ice wall from below now revealed itself to be a gigantic Palossand. Most of these ice sculptures were modeled after Pokémon from other regions, or things like the Badges of various Gyms.
Xin Mu also noticed what looked like an excavator made of ice in one corner. There was no need to say where that inspiration had come from.
There were not many attractions at Ice and Snow World. After getting off the Ferris Wheel, Xin Mu, Lucario, and the others took another walk around the park before leaving.
When they returned to the hotel, Xin Mu glanced at the dim streetlamp nearby, then went into the hotel lobby to fill a cup with hot water.
"Lucario, look over here. Let me show you something fun."
"Luca?"
Xin Mu raised the cup to roughly the height of his head, then flung the water behind him with all his strength.
The hot water did not splash onto the ground. Instead, it froze into a cloud of icy mist in midair.
Under the streetlamp, the cloud of icy mist became a golden sea.
