Pokémon: The Climb

"I never thought that Xiaozhi and others would also go to Snowflake City. Things in the world are really wonderful!"

Seeing the message from Tiantong, Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

If you go to Yeba City by yourself, you will inevitably pass by Snowflake City, so this time you will be on your way.

From this, he couldn't help but infer: "Is it possible that the specific place where the plot happened is near Snowflake City?"

To be honest, Yang Yan really didn't recall where the plot took place before.

There are many legends about Reshiram and Zekrom in the Hezhong area, and there are many related ruins in various places. It is really difficult to know where the plot happened, so Yang Yan did not take the time to investigate.

However, if the location is targeted near Snowflake City, the range of choices will immediately become much smaller.

"The most likely possibility is right here - near the Dragon Spiral Tower!"

Yang Yan opened the map and pointed his finger at a certain spot in the upper left corner.

"It's decided, before going to Yeba City, let's go there and have a look!"

The non-stop journey took nearly five days before Yang Yan, riding a Tyrannosaurus, approached Snowflake City.

From a long distance away, he had already seen the dazzling white snow mountain, and the Snowflake City not far away from the snow mountain, which seemed to be built in an empty place on a mountain range.

Because it is close to the snow-capped mountains, there is a lot of rain and snow, and the low-lying areas are basically very humid all year round, so Snowflake City is built on a relatively high ground.

Even so, the scope of Snowflake City is not small.

A large number of tourists come here every year to enjoy the snow-capped mountains, which has also led to the prosperity of Snowflake City.

But it’s just Snowflake City.

The further north you go, the worse the development situation in many towns, including Yeba City.

The target that Yang Yan was going to, the Dragon Spiral Tower, was located almost in the middle area between Snowflake City and Yeba City.

Because it is a relic, some people go there every year, so it is not difficult to go there. However, Yang Yan did not fly directly in the direction.

"Let's go, Tyrannosaurus, let's go to Snowflake City and have a look!" Yang Yan stretched out his hand and said.

It is late autumn now, which is a good time to travel to Snowflake City.

The white snow accompanied by the still vibrant green earth exudes a unique beauty.

Wouldn’t it be a shame not to experience the experience after finally coming here?

Besides, Xiaozhi and the others are still some distance away from Snowflake City, and the plot is far from the beginning, so there is no need to be too anxious.

The protagonist group always relies on their feet to travel wherever they go, walking and stopping leisurely, which is what traveling should be like.

They are different from Yang Yan.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tyrannosaurus, please take a good rest first!"

Outside the city, Yang Yan took the Tyrannosaurus back into the Poké Ball and walked into the city like other tourists who came to Snowflake City for sightseeing.

The small commotion caused by the quasi-god Tyrannosaurus calmed down on its own as Yang Yan disappeared into the crowd.

Walking along the streets, you can see snowflake-style shops on both sides, and shops selling specialties from Snowflake City can be seen everywhere.

Among the pedestrians coming and going, many of them were accompanied by one or two ice-type Pokémon.

Geometric snowflakes, snow monsters, snow boys, lots of ice, etc. Ice types that are rarely seen in ordinary times have become the norm here.

In fact, among the tourists who come to Snowflake City, many trainers go there for the Ice Pokémon on the nearby snow mountain.

There are not many areas in the Hezhong region where Ice Pokémon live. Snow Mountain in Snowflake City is one of them, so trainers buy supplies and go up the mountain every year.

Trainers with relatively low strength will make announcements in the Pokémon Center or Mission Hall to recruit teammates to go to the snow-capped mountains. Some will also ask local guides who are familiar with the situation to lead the way to ensure a smooth trip.

After all, the habitats of ice-type Pokémon are generally relatively hidden and not easy to find. Having a guide to help save you a lot of trouble.

As for relatively powerful trainers like Yang Yan, they don't have to go to such trouble and can just go up the mountain.

Yang Yan was also planning to go up the mountain to have a look, for no other reason than just to enjoy the scenery.

It had been a little too tight these days and he needed to relax.

After replenishing some supplies and buying cold-proof clothing, Yang Yan left Snowflake City with many trainers the next day.

He did not let the Tyrannosaurus fly directly to the snow-capped mountains. Not to mention that the Tyrannosaurus is very afraid of the cold, so doing this would take away the fun of going up the mountain.

When climbing a mountain, you have to rely on yourself step by step to achieve a sense of accomplishment.

"Absol, let's go!"

"Abo~!"

One person and one Pokémon, they started from the wetland covered with green grass, passed through depressions, and stepped through shoals intertwined with ice and water, and finally arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

During this period, some ice-, water-, and grass-type Pokémon would occasionally appear, and Absol was responsible for dealing with them.

Through continuous battles in the Battle Club, Absolu's level-up was too fast to be considered solid, and the foundation was finally laid.

Its high-level combat ability can crush these ordinary wild Pokémon on the road.

"Huh..." Yang Yan took a few deep breaths, "It looks like a very simple journey, but I didn't expect it to be quite strenuous. I have been using my brain more recently, but I have neglected to exercise my body. You have to pay attention!"

I started sweating before I even went up the mountain. How could this be possible?

At the foot of the mountain, the soil layer is still relatively obvious. But as you go higher, the areas covered with ice and snow begin to gradually increase, and the ground crunches when you step on it.

Gradually, there are fewer and fewer people around Yang Yan.

Some stopped, some changed directions, and some chased Pokémon.

Not many people are actually prepared to go to high places. After all, the higher you go, the colder it gets.

Silks of white steam brushed against his cheeks, and the tip of Yang Yan's nose turned red from the cold.

Absolu on the side looked unchanged.

The hair on its body seems to be warmer than the winter coat on Yang Yan.

At about noon, Yang Yan finally found a small cave halfway up the mountain that might have been left by his predecessors.

"Absol, let's take a rest here!"

Yang Yan took out dry firewood, called out Heiluga to help light the fire, and started preparing lunch at the same time.

The rice is fragrant.

Just when Yang Yan was about to start...

“It smells so good!”

Followed by a burst of crunching footsteps. In the blink of an eye, a man wrapped tightly and carrying a floating bubble appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"My friend, if you don't mind, come over and join us!" Yang Yan stood up and invited the 20-year-old man in who was swallowing his saliva.

"Then I'm not welcome!" The man walked over to the cauldron and sat down with a smile. He was indeed not polite at all.

Yang Yan served him a bowl of hot soup and asked at the same time: "Looking at the direction where your friend appeared, are you about to go down the mountain?"

The man blew twice, and then took a big sip impatiently.

“Hot, hot, hot, hot—”

After finally getting the hot soup from his mouth into his stomach, the man replied: "Yes, you are right!"

Yang Yan was amused by the man's informal appearance, and then asked: "I'm going down the mountain at this time. Did my friend stay on the mountain all night yesterday?"

"No, no, no, it's not one night, it's a week!" The man almost couldn't help crying, "A week, do you know I'm here this week?"

"The person who issued the mission is really sick. It's so cold on the mountain. How could there be criminals? I suffered from the cold for seven days in vain and didn't even notice it. It's really unlucky!"
