"Hey, it's so cold..."
Dawn shrank into a ball, his neck desperately buried in the thick woolen scarf, and the white breath he exhaled formed tiny frost flowers on his eyelashes.
Almost instinctively, she leaned closer to Xiaoyun, not just a little bit, but her whole body.
Xiaoyun also naturally turned sideways. The moment Dawn came closer, his right hand had already been taken out of his pocket, he held the other person's somewhat red hand, and then put it into his down jacket pocket.
"Your hands are so cold. Didn't I ask you to wear gloves before setting off?"
Xiaoyun rubbed it gently in his pocket.
"It's not as warm as wearing gloves..."
Dawn muttered softly and squeezed his body towards Xiaoyun.
The group of people had now put on thick and warm winter clothes again.
Except for a certain newcomer Pallet Town.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Ash stood in the wind and snow, arms spread out.
Pikachu stood on his shoulder, with a helpless look on his face, and the electric capsules on his cheeks flashed Spark slightly.
"Pika... chu!"
Zizzi!
Electricity poured out, and Ash was instantly full of blood, giving a thumbs up to several people:
"Xinxi, this will stop the cold!"
Pikachu cursed in his heart.
Okay, okay, I really feel good for you.
"Would you like to try it too? It will refresh your mind."
"No thank you!"
Several people subconsciously stayed away from Ash.
Use Thunderbolt for heating, are you still a carbon-based organism?
The temperature of the surrounding environment is constantly dropping, wind and snow are constantly blowing in the face, and a light mist can be seen appearing when breathing, and then blown away by the wind.
In front of the wind and snow, the outline of the city gradually appeared.
It was a city of ice and snow in the true sense.
The entire city is like a blue-white gem embedded in the embrace of the mountains. Almost all roofs are designed with steep slopes of more than 60 degrees to prevent excessive snow from crushing the houses.
There are long icicles hanging under the eaves, and some people even hang small wind chimes on the icicles, which make a crisp tinkling sound when the wind blows.
"Wow! That's the sled pulled by Mamoswine!"
Serena pointed forward in surprise.
I saw several strong Mamoswine pulling beautifully decorated sleighs forward on the wide main street.
There were tightly wrapped citizens sitting on the sleds, and some tourists took pictures in a novel way.
Of course, in addition, there are also Glaceon sleds and Cryogonal hoverboards that carry trainers to glide at low altitudes.
"It's so amazing, it's like the Snow Country in a fairy tale!
Dawn's eyes were bright when he saw it, and he temporarily forgot about the cold.
In the central square stands a giant ice sculpture of Abomasnow, which is ten meters high.
It is said that an aurora projection show will be set up here every night, with technical support kindly provided by Snowbelle Gym.
"Brother! This shiny thing is so beautiful!"
Bonnie's excited voice came.
Clemont was studying the structure of the ice sculpture. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, his voice suddenly rose in pitch:
"Bonnie! Don't bite! Your tongue will stick!!"
However, it was already too late. The little girl was tiptoeing towards an ice cream sculpture, and then...
"Wow!!"
Bonnie's eyes widened instantly. He wanted to speak but his tongue was firmly stuck to the ice. He could only make a vague whine and wave his hands helplessly in the air.
Xiaoyun dumbfounded.
Yo, I'm still an old foodie.
Dawn had quick eyes and quick hands, so he immediately took out a bottle of warm water from the side pocket of his backpack, and Bonnie was freed.
"Ugh... my tongue is so cold..."
She Baby-Doll Eyes covered her mouth.
"So don't lick things randomly!"
Clemont helplessly holds his forehead.
Ash looked at Pikachu thoughtfully. "Pikachu, what do you think you want to try too?"
"Pickup???"
After a short interlude, everyone finally arrived at Pokémon Center.
Snowbelle City's Pokémon Center looks like a huge igloo, but is as warm as spring inside.
Nurse Joy smiles warmly:
"Welcome to Snowbelle City! Please have a good rest, the hot springs here are very comfortable~"
After a night's rest, several people headed to Snowbelle Gym in high spirits early the next morning.
The gym is located on the hillside on the north side of the city. The building looks like a huge iceberg. The architectural style is rough and heavy, and it looks like an ice and snow fortress.
Pushing open the heavy door, a breath of ice and snow hit your face.
The interior of the gym is wider than expected, and the main battlefield is a huge ice venue.
At this moment, the sound of training came from the side hall.
Several people walked over and saw an uncle Coaching caring for the apprentice.
The uncle is tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body.
He was wearing a dark blue fur-collared coat, his beard was trimmed neatly, and his cuffs were rolled up to reveal Sturdy's forearms. He had a typical hard-working style.
The owner of Yingxue Hall, Wulfric!
"The essence of Icy Wind is not spraying, but condensation! Let the cold air brew in your throat more, and the ice mist you spit out will be denser and stronger!"
In front of him, a Bergmite was trying hard to puff out its cheeks, and then Spit Up puffed out a puff of ice mist.
This time the ice fog was indeed more solid, forming short ice crystal trails in the air.
"Yes! That's it. Remember this feeling! Next time I fight, I will freeze my opponent into an ice sculpture!"
Wulfric laughs loudly.
The apprentices looked in admiration. "Yes! Teacher Wulfric!"
At this time, Wulfric noticed the group of Xiaoyun at the door, turned around, and waved boldly:
"Oh? Here comes the challenger? Welcome!"
"I am the gym leader Wulfric. You are dressed up to challenge the gym, right? Which one comes first?"
Xiaoyun took a step forward and said politely:
"Hello, gym leader, I am inspector Xiaoyun. In addition to the regular gym assessment, I also brought a few friends to experience this time..."
Before he finished speaking, Wulfric slapped Xiaoyun on the shoulder with such force that Xiaoyun almost staggered.
Hiss, is this person planning to kill him, the inspector, from the root?
Wulfric didn't realize how strong his hands were at all, he laughed boldly and said:
"Hahaha, Xiaoyun I've finally waited for you! It's an honor to play against the former tournament champion!"
He straightened up, crossed his arms, and said proudly:
"Snowbelle City is a trainer, but even Blizzard can get excited! No matter who the opponent is, I will fight with all my strength."
Ash clenched his fists, eyes Illuminate: "Ah, uncle, you are so cool, I'm on fire!"
Serena saluted gracefully. "Wulfric Master, please give me your advice."
Dawn also smiled, "I am Dawn from Sinnoh Region. I also want to challenge the gym in the future."
Wulfric glanced at the four people and smiled even more:
"Okay! They all have spirit! I like young people with fighting spirit best! So who comes first?"
Battleground!
The venue is a standard circular ice surface with protective fences around it.
Ash rarely shows his gentlemanly style, so Serena ranks first.
An older apprentice served as the referee and walked to the center of the field. "The rules of Snowbelle Gym are 3 versus 3. Challengers can freely replace Pokémon until all Pokémon on one side lose the ability to fight!"
"Challenger Serena, versus gym leader Wulfric!"
"The decision is yours! Delphox!"
Serena throws Poké Ball hard, but it looks more and more like Ash.
Bang!
Red light flashed, Delphox appeared!
It holds a branch wand, and the flames on it burn particularly brightly in the cold environment.
"Fire-type and Delphox are a good choice."
Wulfric nodded and sent out Bergmite who was training just now.
With its round body and blue ice shell, it looks cute, but its eyes are very focused.
