There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"Wait a moment, Mia contacted me suddenly."

"Is it... the woman who disappeared from the organization for a few years?"

"Hmm, but she didn't disappear. She just went on a long mission." The man yawned and said sleepily, "She had a cut on her face not long ago. Although it is now covered with thick makeup, it is not a solution. So she contacted me to help repair her face."

"But I've already advised her to stop. Things haven't been looking good lately."

"I heard some rumors through the grapevine. It seems that the Four Heavenly Kings are planning to unite gym trainers from all over the country to impeach that person..."

"As a popular person lurking beside that person, it would be wise to leave as soon as possible to protect yourself. Her ability is very useful, and I don't want her to die there."

----

"We've had enough fun, it's time to find out the truth of the intelligence."

Kona picked up a blue rose that had fallen on the ground and rubbed it gently between his fingertips.

"The legendary Pokémon..."

The petals of the Blue Rose fell one by one.

After several days of frantic searching, the fans who found no trace of the "Ice Queen" sighed and left, leaving only a pile of garbage after the noise.

“What a crazy idea.”

----

The short period of relaxation soon ended, and after the leisure time, Xiao Ye set out on the road to Jinhuang City again.

In addition to its gym trainers being well-known psychics, Golden Mountain is also famous for being the mountain that protects this city.

Although it is named "Gold", this mountain actually has little to do with gold, but is instead related to the extremely precious Evolution Stone.

However, the development rights of this mountain belong to the Pokémon League, and it does not prohibit other trainers from coming to the mountain to try their luck and look for adventures.

Moreover, the mountain is at an extremely high altitude, and there is a huge temperature difference between the top and bottom of the mountain. It may be spring-like all year round at the foot of the mountain, but your body will gradually become cold when you reach the middle of the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, there will even be snowflakes falling from the sky, forming a unique and beautiful scenery.

The mountain is lush and green at the foot and covered with snow on the top.

In order to meet up with Lingyou and the others as soon as possible, Xiaoye did not choose to take a detour from the side of the mountain. Instead, he looked at the mountain whose top was invisible, sighed helplessly, and set out on the road to climb the mountain.

Before going up the mountain, Xiaoye was only equipped with a thin coat and long pants, but as he slowly climbed up, the clothes he wore became thicker and thicker.

At first he was wearing only an off-white sweatshirt and fleece pants, but now he has wrapped himself in a thick down jacket, a fluffy knitted hat on his head, thick-soled high-top shoes on his feet, and his fair cheeks are flushed due to altitude sickness.

At this moment, every time Xiaoye took a breath, a cloud of white mist would come out of his mouth. If he hadn't been holding a ball of heat source that always emitted warm temperature in his hands, he would have turned back halfway, gone down the mountain and found another way.

"Huh... Ibrahimovic, are you cold?" Xiao Ye rubbed Ibrahimovic's soft belly with his slender fingers and asked softly.

"Booey——"

Eevee shook its head, and after feeling its trainer tremble slightly, it immediately turned over, its bright eyes reflecting Xiaoye's pale face.

It stood up in Xiaoye's arms with the support of his hands. Before Xiaoye could react, he felt his cold nose being wrapped in a warm embrace, and some soft hair rubbed against him, making him feel itchy.

Xiao Ye buried his entire face in Ibrahimovic's soft fur, took a few deep breaths, and sniffed the orange-like fragrance on Ibrahimovic's body. The fragrance that penetrated into his heart diluted the bitter cold air, giving Xiao Ye the illusion that his body temperature had risen.

"It's much better now, thank you Ibrahimovic."

After the cold nasal cavity felt better, Xiaoye raised his head and identified the direction to go.

What you should be most wary of on a snowy day is not the severe cold, but the fact that you may get lost in the maze created by ice and snow for travelers at any time.

Everything around was white, and the cold wind blew directly on his cheeks. Xiaoye could only barely see a footprint in the snow heading northeast.

But the footprints were very shallow, almost to the point of being buried by the heavy snow.

Therefore, Xiaoye did not hesitate too much, but chose to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and continue exploring deep into the snow-capped mountains with Ibrahimovic.

Behind Xiao Ye's departing figure, the cold wind blew and a corner of the road sign buried in the snow was revealed. The direction pointed by the arrow was completely opposite to the footprints.

----

The strong wind was as sharp as a knife, and the footprints of the predecessors had long been covered by ice and snow.

The heartless snow fairies wiped out all traces on the path, hoping to keep the young man lost in the snow-capped mountains and spend the long river of time with them.

Xiaoye felt that the snow under his feet was getting thicker and thicker. Every step he took required him to use all his strength to pull out his shoes that were covered in the snow.

Although he had no experience in surviving in the wild in such extreme weather, everyone knew that moving forward in the heavy snow could be fatal.

Not to mention that as the sky gradually darkens, the temperature on the snow-capped mountains becomes lower and lower. Walking in the dark on the snow-capped mountains at night is undoubtedly seeking death.

In addition, the footprints on the snow had long disappeared, and Xiaoye also realized that if he continued walking, he would probably get lost in the vast expanse of white snow.

So he stopped walking blindly and stopped to catch his breath, recovering some strength while observing the surrounding environment.

There's a slope over there!

Xiaoye was cheered up, and took out a Poké Ball while walking towards the slope with one step deep and one step shallow.

"Ditto, transform into Onix."

Xiaoye lightly threw the Poké Ball to the side of the slope and continued to give orders.

"Help me dig a snow cave. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough for us to rest."

Onix, transformed from Ditto, nodded, and then dived into the slope made of piled snow.

After a while, a snow cave about ten square meters wide was dug out, and Ditto transformed into a Charmeleon, snuggling up to Xiaoye to keep him warm.

"Thank you, Ditto." Xiao Ye felt the heat in his gradually numb legs slowly returning, with a slight tingling pain, "Green Ivy Snake, help me seal up the snow cave."

Piles of snow were carried by vines and placed next to Xiaoye. Xiaoye picked them up and compacted them with his red hands, using the piled up snow to block the cold wind.

In the end, only a small hole was left for ventilation, and a relatively closed snow cave was completed by everyone's collaboration.

However, Xiaoye, who had just blocked the cold wind, did not sit idle. Instead, he stood up straight and raised his arms to press down the snow blocks on the top of the snow cave, trying to flatten and compact them as much as possible.

This is not a job that Xiaoye does just for the sake of aesthetics when he is free.

It was just that after the snow cave was sealed, Xiaoye took out layers of clothes from his backpack and spread them on the ground for the Pokémon to keep warm and settle down. At that time, a drop of cold water fell on the end of his silver-gray hair and flowed along his hair to his skin.

Xiao Ye couldn't help shivering and looked up, only to see another drop of melted water falling on his forehead and sliding down the tip of his straight nose.

"Wait a moment longer, everyone, stay closer to Ditto and keep warm."

Xiao Ye patted the snow above his head with his swollen hands. He didn't know if it was because he was too cold that he had an illusion, but he actually felt a warm current flowing from his fingertips to the base of his palms.

"hiss......"

Before Xiao Ye could investigate further, he felt something was tearing at his trouser legs through his thick fleece pants. Xiao Ye looked down and saw Eevee and Nidoran biting the hem of his trousers on the left and right, gently pulling him back.

Ditto, which was originally surrounded by the Pokémon, also revealed its body, turned around and pointed its warm and burning tail at the stunned trainer.

Psyduck also squinted his eyes and yawned, then staggered to Xiaoye.

Two vines gently grabbed his swollen hands and placed them on the body of Psyduck, which was covered with fine fur.

"You..." Xiao Ye was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He only felt that his hands, which were originally itchy and painful, were gradually warmed by Psyduck's body temperature and turned into a slight numbness and pain.

"Okay, I won't do it anymore." Xiao Ye followed the force of the Green Ivy Snake and sat on the clothes that had been laid out not long ago, holding the warm Psyduck in his arms. Eevee jumped onto his shoulder, and its big furry tail was wrapped around his slender neck.

"That's almost it."

"Let's just make do with this tonight, everyone."

----

Separated by a thin wall of snow, outside the wall the cold wind is howling and the snow is blowing, but inside the wall life is peaceful and everyone huddles together for warmth.

At this moment, Xiaoye was leaning against the snow wall, with his head tilted and resting on the base of Eevee's tail, his arms around Psyduck's neck, and he fell asleep.

A wisp of food aroma wafted out from the somewhat cold pot on the other side, along the small hole in the snow wall, and blew away into the distance accompanied by the cold wind.

In the vast expanse of white snow, a bloated figure slowly moved forward in the snow against the cold wind.

The violent snowstorm seemed to have no effect on it. The long golden hair on both sides of its body rose slightly from time to time, and it walked on the snowy ground as if it were flat ground.

It held up its dark purple palm, and bursts of blue light emanated from its hand.

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly.

It squinted its eyes and took several deep breaths in ecstasy, and its raised hands were folded and placed on its deflated belly.

thump--

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground awakened its mind. When it turned around and looked at a "big"-shaped snow pit, it suddenly remembered what it had forgotten.

He quickly raised his hands again and used his superpowers to lift the person who fell in the snow.

After a moment's hesitation, it decisively gave up its original path, made a small circle and headed towards the place where the aroma of food came from.

----

The rustling sound rang out in the silent snow cave.

However, this mosquito-like sound was covered by the sound of the cold wind and was not noticed by Xiaoye who was sleeping soundly.

On Xiaoye's left, the green vine snake suddenly opened its eyes, and there was not a trace of sleepiness in its amber eyes.

It propped itself up alertly, and the vine whips on both sides of its neck appeared at lightning speed as it thought about it, pointing directly at the cave entrance blocked by snow.

Huh-huh-huh-

After a long time, there was still nothing but the sound of the wind. However, the Green Vine Snake did not show any impatience, and its sharp eyes never moved away.

Finally, the uninvited guests outside the wall could no longer bear it, and a hole suddenly appeared in the tightly sealed snow wall.

Following that, a pair of dark purple hands tentatively reached inside, as if to confirm whether it was safe.

The Green Vine Snake looked at the strange pair of hands but did not act in a hurry. Instead, it gently poked Nidoran and Ditto with its vines, and before they made any sound, it pointed its vines at the uninvited guests that were gradually approaching.

Ditto and Nidoran immediately understood what Green Vine Snake meant, and slowly approached the snow wall without making any sound.

Psyduck opened one eye to take a look at the current situation. After discovering the orderly deployment of the Green Vine Snakes, he felt relieved and continued to let Xiaoye hold it in his arms to keep it warm.

But its two big eyes are also staring at the snow wall, and it will immediately provide support if something goes wrong.

But no one expected that not far from the pair of deep purple hands, another pair of arms wrapped in a thick cotton jacket stretched out.

Before the green vine snakes could react, a figure rushed into the warm snow cave from the cold wind, and ran towards the pot that was still emitting residual heat, carrying snowflakes with it.

But from the perspective of the Green Ivy Snake, this inexplicable figure actually rushed straight towards its trainer, with its palms open wide facing Xiaoye, who was still dreaming and unaware of the outside world, as if it wanted to hurt him.

A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the green vine snake. The vines, as fast as a whip, left an afterimage in the air and hit the figure fiercely.

"Ah...alive!"

Xiaoye was woken up:?

Green Ivy Snake:?!

Ditto guarding the cave entrance:!

The whip that was powerful enough to break rocks stopped swinging less than a centimeter away from the figure, and the figure who was holding the pot and eating heartily made a "slurping" sound without any image.

Xiao Ye, who had just woken up, still had a blurry vision in front of his eyes, but he subconsciously shouted out because of the sound made by the figure just now.

"...Sakura?"
