Pokémon: Snow Moon Peak

The morning sun pushed through the white fog, revealing fragments of blurry light. Looking up, the outline of Xueyue Ridge is looming, unrealistically beautiful.

The morning sun has just broken through the white mist, and the elves in the caves of the Snow-white Mountains have already begun to be busy for a new day.

I am no exception.

I, Xuan La, named Xiao An, live in the pure land of Snow Mountain with my sister and many ice elves.

Every day or night, my sister and I would rush to help the adults in the mountains to work in exchange for coins for daily use.

In this Pokémon world, when it comes to trade, people will naturally think of trade in the human market. However, as everyone knows, there are also simple trade transactions between Pokémon.

In Pokémon tribes large and small, various "shops" line both sides of the crowded streets.

No matter what race of Pokémon you are born into, no matter what attributes you have or what your race value is, you can trade freely in some Pokémon tribes to buy what you need, or sell your treasures.

In the world seen by Pokémon, tree fruits, carrying items, and even novel gadgets in human stores can all be traded items.

There is a tribe like this in Baixue Mountain.

Here, the elves of Snow White Mountain make a living by collecting and polishing gems from the mountain.

Many of the ores sold here are bare ores that have just been transported from the mining area. All kinds of unpolished ores are piled in baskets, rows full of them.

However, the price of processed ore will be relatively higher.

I often follow everyone to the mountains to quarry stones, and let my sister process gems at home... We have never met our biological parents. It was Master Frozen Bird, the owner of Snow White Mountain, who took us in.

Life is not easy, but it is happy.

The crystals of Baixue Mountain are famous in various regions for their crystal clear and beautiful luster. Every year, some dealers come to collect them regularly and sell them to all over the world at high prices.

Among these businessmen, Abu is the most famous.

Abu is an Eevee and an explorer by profession. From time to time he comes to Snow White Mountain to exchange items with us who live in Snow White Mountain, which is isolated from the outside world.

His enthusiasm and kindness are well known in Baixue Mountain, and he is also a friend of Master Frozen Bird. We all respect him.

Everyone in Baixue Mountain got up early today just to look forward to Abu's arrival at the mountain pass.

On this day, almost all the people in Baixue Mountain were mobilized. Baixue Mountain was originally a sparsely populated place, but on this day, the mountain pass was blocked by elves, as if it was a Chinese New Year.

Abu, who was in the center of the crowd, smiled kindly, taking out items from his backpack and chatting patiently with the elves who arrived.

Everyone brought out various things in exchange. Regardless of whether they were exquisite or not, Abu accepted them all and exchanged them with the good things that the other party needed that were abundant in other places.

Most of what everyone in Baixue Mountain exchanges is gems. When it was my turn, I pulled out the various gem crystals we had stored away over the past few months.

"Is it Xiao An? Come on, come on!" Abu greeted me warmly, took the stone in my hand, tilted his head, and whispered, "This time it's a jade carving!"

"My sister carved it. She said it can be sold for more money." I scratched my head sheepishly and looked at the jade carving that was not exquisitely carved.

"Yes." Abu smiled, and then said, "Then let's go with the market price of the jade carving."

He gave me twice as much money as before, which made me even more embarrassed. I wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Abu.

"By the way, Xiao An, I have something good to show you."

Abu dug through his satchel, and a silver-black object appeared in his hand.

"This is the 'Sharp Claw', put it on and take a look." Abu put it on my paw, "Haha, it just fits."

"Eight years old is the age to be brave." Abu looked at me seriously and patted my shoulder, "Why don't you take advantage of now to see more of the outside world."

outside world……

The badge on his chest flashed, with exquisite reliefs of Eevee and Pikachu. I heard someone say before that it was the badge of the Elf Gang, the largest expedition organization in the world.

I nodded gratefully and lowered my head.

Abu treated me very well, and I couldn't help but remind me of my adoptive father, Hyou Gugo, who was kidnapped by humans a few years ago...

——They are all my benefactors.

When I go out and become prosperous in the future, I must repay them well, I thought to myself.
