...
Tired of snowball fights, Natsu and the Pokémon sat around Snorlax.
Snorlax now not only works as a meat shield, but also a part-time bed.
When Natsu and Pokémon were sleeping in the wild during this time, the quality of sleep was really much better.
The softness of Snorlax's hair and fat was simply better than most The beds are so much softer that sleeping on them is like sleeping on a warm goose down blanket.
And the size of Snorlax is big, Natsu's is much bigger than normal Snorlax, enough for them all to sleep.
The only thing to worry about is that Snorlax may roll over unconsciously during Rest, and one may accidentally change from a sleeping pad to a pad.
Now, Snorlax also acts as a walking hand warmer in World of Ice and Snow.
Put your hand through the Snorlax's not-so-thick fur, holding it tightly against its body, and the warmth will be transferred to the hand.
Natsu looked up at the sky as he warmed his hands. The sun was about to set and the temperature around him was getting colder.
"We should be able to arrive at Snowpoint City tomorrow, so let's find a place to rest here today," Natsu said.
Togetic, who was thinking about the soft bed before, now holds Snorlax's arm, completely forgetting the taste of the bed, and nodding his head.
However, in the World of Ice and Snow in winter, who can refuse a "bed" that is soft and has its own constant temperature function?
'When I enter Snowpoint City tomorrow, I will definitely meet someone from the Hunter's Guild. Even if the Hunter's Guild doesn't know his identity, I must always be prepared and alert.'
And a good night's sleep is naturally the basic condition for maintaining the state tomorrow.
Put away Snorlax and Sharpedo and get up to find a place where Togetic can use Secret Power to open up a secret space.
At the very least, a tree thick enough to make sure the secret space is big enough and won't be crushed by the thick snow or blown down by the Blizzard.
Whoo—
As night fell, a biting cold wind blew through the silver-clad woods.
Even Natsu who had a Psychic barrier to keep him warm, subconsciously tightened his clothes.
hu hu ——
The howling wind became stronger and stronger, and gradually evolved into a snowstorm, and finally became a Blizzard.
In such an environment, it becomes more and more difficult to move. If you stop a little, snow will accumulate on your body, and you may turn into an ice sculpture after standing for one minute.
And the Icirrus, which brushes quickly and densely, obstructs the line of sight and reduces visibility.
A faintly discernible shadow moves freely in the wind and snow, constantly changing its position.
What's more, Blizzard grew bigger and bigger, even with its intentional instigation, and the snow on the ground was several centimeters higher in just a few minutes.
"Although this is the first time I've seen Blizzard, this level is a bit too big." Natsu frowned, one hand blocked the wind and snow in front of his eyes, and one hand All around the lake, slowly extending Psychic out .
In order to cooperate with Natsu, Kadabra also opened up his Psychic perception, and even added the perception of "Future Sight".
However, after scanning back and forth several times, he couldn't find any strangeness. It seems that it is really just an ordinary, slightly larger Blizzard.
But this result did not satisfy Natsu.
For some reason, after awakening Psychic, he had always felt that his Senses had become very accurate, and when he felt abnormal, he was often not wrong.
Whispered to Kadabra's side, letting it convey its meaning to a few Pokémons.
"Yongji."
Kadabra did.
Then, Natsu and a few Pokémon were seen moving slowly in the snow.
Dense Poweder Snow piled up on them, and within one minute, they were completely covered by Icirrus, turning into several standing "snowmen".
By the time they were completely silent, Blizzard actually slowly got smaller.
Although it didn't stop completely, it was a lot smaller than before.
Soon.
A floating black shadow quickly approached, surrounded by several snow sculptures formed by Natsu and the others, and let out a sweet laugh.
Natsu saw it roll up the snow sculpture and leave quickly.
And after it left, Natsu and their silhouettes are here again.
Squinting at the Pokémon who just left quickly.
"Froslass?"
Although it doesn't look too real, the name of Pokémon is about to come out because of its white body and the ability to control ice and snow.
Froslass no doubt.
The behavior is also very consistent.
Froslass will roam the Blizzard in search of unsuspecting humans and prey, using their abilities or control, or freezing them into ice sculptures to capture them.
The Froslass are said to secretly show off the frozen corpses of their prey.
It is a Pokémon with a bad temperament and will actively hunt Pokémon and humans in the snow.
This is one of those Pokémons to watch out for in the snow.
Natsu hesitated slightly.
"Go and see."
Immediately followed along with the Pokémon cautiously.
Froslass is a Pokémon with the ice attribute and Ghost Type, and judging from its ability to evade Kadabra's Psychic perception, it doesn't seem to be weak.
Following Froslass, Natsu, they came to a small cave full of ice crystals.
Froslass flew in with the fake "snow sculptures" in it.
"It's a nice place to stay. It's sheltered from the wind and snow and has enough space." Natsu murmured and walked into the ice cave.
It is full of all kinds of ice crystals, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice cubes. When walking, be careful not only of the smooth Ground, but also of the ones hanging on your head that may be damaged at any time. Dropped Icicle Spears of various sizes.
Because the ice crystals are crystal clear enough, they gather and reflect the light, so the cave is not pitch-black, but full of faint fluorescence, so you can clearly see the environment inside.
"This is..."
Walking.
Natsu found that in the surrounding ice crystals, a Pokémon that was completely frozen can be seen almost at any time, and even a human who has been frozen for an unknown time can occasionally be seen.
The expressions are vivid, and they seem to be frozen unconsciously.
Natsu's complexion darkened slightly, his browsers tightly frowns.
These are presumably what Froslass calls "collections".
Natsu could be one of them if they weren't vigilant enough.
The ferocious Blizzard makes people and Pokémon's bodies stiff, and their perception ability to temperature changes is reduced. Coupled with the ability of Froslass to appear and disappear unpredictably, they might be frozen.
"Be careful." Natsu lowered his voice, warned repeatedly.
Beedrill and Kadabra are also nodding eyes with serious faces, Togetic shrinks directly into his arms and gets into his clothes, revealing a pair of small.
This ice cave gives a very poor sense.
Cautiously approached step by step, and slowly came to the deepest part of the ice cave.
Hiding behind a large ice cube, Natsu sees Froslass happily preparing to sweep the snow on the "Snow Sculpture" and clean the creatures from there.
And just as it was cleaning, three little heads poked out from the cracks in the ice cubes, and Froslass immediately greeted them happily.
Snorunt!
However, one of the Snorunts caught Natsu's attention.
Because the color of the Snorunt's exterior is not the same as the other two.
Shiny Snorunt!
At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from a crevice of ice not far from Natsu.
"Who are you?"
Natsu was slightly startled.
Someone!
