Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

The snowy mountain environment of "Frost Mountain" changes rapidly in a short while. At this time, Xiaozhi and his friends wrapped themselves tightly in warm clothes and moved forward with difficulty.

Xiaoqing, who couldn't open her eyes due to the wind and snow, spoke stutteringly due to the cold.

"It's so cold... I'm freezing! Is it the right choice for us to land on the top of Frost Mountain at this time? It seems that there are no other climbers around except us."

Piper agreed.

"I agree with Xiaoqing. It may be that the Frost Mountain is in a blizzard at this time, and it is not suitable for mountaineering at this time... We should retreat quickly before we get too deep here!"

Xiaozhi in front of the team was unwilling to give in. His desire to complete the "Frost Wipe Gym" as soon as possible prompted him to make a wrong judgment.

"I think it will be fine. Uncle Deep Sea, who recommended us to take this route, didn't tell us that there is a snowy season and a non-snowy season on Frost Mountain... We should be able to withstand this bit of wind and snow. Let's quickly cross the Frost Hand!"

At the same time, the uncle of the deep sea, who was far away in the "North Padia Sea", was driving the "Deep Sea" and was heading back after sending Xiaozhi and the others to land.

Suddenly, Uncle Deep Sea sneezed.

"A-choo! That's weird? I sneezed all of a sudden. Is someone talking about me?"

Qi Ren, who was outside the cab, heard Uncle Shenhai mumbling to himself and leaned through the window to ask.

"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you talking to me..."

Uncle Shenhai put his fingers across his nose and blew it, then answered.

"It's nothing! I just sneezed suddenly..., this is weird! I sneezed suddenly, and now my right eyelid is twitching, as if there is something that I'm worried about..."

"The left eye twitches for good fortune, the right eye twitches for disaster... Does this mean that our subsequent sea voyage will encounter a storm? Otherwise, why don't we just go back today?"

In response to Qiren's suggestion, Uncle Shenhai shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, the sea level is safe and there won't be any storms these days. My anxiety seems to have nothing to do with us... What is it? Oh, the weather..."

Suddenly, Uncle Deep Sea exclaimed.

"Ah! Now I remember what was bothering me... I only remembered the weather on the sea, but forgot that Frostsand is in the middle of a snowstorm. Will Xiaozhi and the others who landed there be okay?"

Looking at the worried Uncle Shenhai, Qiren said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Xiaozhi is not stupid. When they see the stormy weather, they will naturally turn back to avoid danger... I don't believe that Xiaozhi is so stupid that he would rush in even though he knew it was extreme weather."

Xiaozhi and his companions, who were far away near the "Frost Hand", were still struggling to move forward in the blizzard...

At this moment, in front of them, at the bottom of a mountain, there seemed to be a hollow cave. Paper squinted his eyes and couldn't see it clearly, but still spoke to Xiaozhi and the others.

"Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing, look! There seems to be a cave over there. The snowstorm is too strong. Let's go in and hide until the snowstorm is over before we continue our journey!"

The snowstorm made it impossible for Ash and his friends to open their eyes. Although Ash wanted to fly to the Frost Gym as soon as possible, he still had to consider the safety of his companions and Pokémon, so he replied.

"It can only be the……"

After that, Xiaozhi and his friends stepped into the thick snow on the ground and headed towards the cave little by little. Just when the cave was just in front of them, a huge "snowball" rolled down from the mountain above and headed towards Xiaozhi and his friends.

"Everyone, be careful!"

At Papa's reminder, Xiaozhi reacted and lay down beside him, one on each side. Xiaoqing, who was between them, also noticed the danger, but she had no time to react and could only scream and raise her arms to block...

At this moment, Tiremaow reacted, jumped high, pulled out the vine bud on her neck, straightened the vine between her hands to block, and protected Xiaoqing behind her.

"Ah ah ah..."

After a scream, in front of Xiaozhi and Piper's eyes blurred by the wind and snow, Xiaoqing and Deelemeow were hit by the swooping "snowball", and they were rolled down the slope together.

"Xiaoqing, Dilei meow..."

Seeing Xiaoqing and the others being carried away by the "snowball", Xiaozhi reacted immediately and stood up to go in the direction where the "snowball" was rolling away. At this time, a cold wind blew over, and Xiaozhi was blown down as soon as he stood up. However, Pikachu, who was standing next to him, had a lower center of gravity and was not affected by the cold wind, and went in the direction where Xiaoqing and the others were moving away.

Just as Xiaozhi stood up again and was about to rush into the snowstorm again, Paipala stopped him with his arm.

"Wait a minute, Xiaozhi! The blizzard is too strong now. If you go out rashly now, not only will you not be able to save Xiaoqing, you can't even guarantee your own safety..."

"But...but! Xiaoqing and the others were..."

While Xiaozhi and Paipala were struggling and wavering, a strong hurricane blew up and blew Xiaozhi, Paipala and Zinogre into the cave.

Xiaozhi, who was sheltered in the cave, fell asleep on the ground after being knocked down by the hurricane, during which time he kept repeating Xiaoqing's name.

"Xiao..., Xiaoqing, wait for me..."

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhi gradually woke up after being shaken and hearing calls.

"Push bang..., pounce..."

"Xiaozhi, what's wrong with you? Wake up..."

Xiaozhi slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and what caught his eye were Piper and Coldback. They looked worried, but when they saw Xiaozhi waking up, they gradually smiled.

"Wake up, wake up... Great, Xiaozhi! You finally woke up..."

Xiaozhi, who had just woken up, was still a little fuzzy.

"Where... where is this place? Why are we here... oh, right! Xiaoqing... where is Xiaoqing? We have to save her as soon as possible!"

Just as Xiaozhi was about to stand up, he was pulled back by Papa again.

"Don't be impulsive, Xiaozhi! If you go out rashly like this, you will also get into trouble..."

Xiaozhi looked at the blizzard outside the cave and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He then punched the snow on the ground with regret and said with gritted teeth.

"It's all my fault for being stubborn and not listening to Xiaoqing's advice to stop exploring. It's me who hurt Xiaoqing and the others..."

Piper immediately held down Xiaozhi who was punching the ground, and comforted him.

"Alright, Xiaozhi! It's useless to blame yourself. Xiaoqing has Delemeow and Pikachu with her, so she shouldn't be in any trouble. Let's just stay here and recuperate. Once we recover our strength, as soon as the snowstorm is over, we'll go out and look for Xiaoqing!"

Xiaozhi followed Papa's advice and could only wait quietly until the blizzard was over... But Xiaozhi was worried about the safety of Xiaoqing and the others and was restless, pacing back and forth in the cave.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard deep in the cave, and Xiaozhi immediately spoke alertly.

"What's that sound? ...It's Xiaoqing!"

After saying that, Xiaozhi held on to a glimmer of hope and ran towards the depths of the cave, with Coolspine Dragon and Piper following closely behind him. During this time, Piper shouted to Xiaozhi loudly.

"Xiaozhi, don't be impulsive! I saw with my own eyes that Xiaoqing and the others rolled down the slope with the 'snowball'. They couldn't have appeared in the cave..."

Xiaozhi said without giving up.

"Maybe he was blown into here by the blizzard after escaping from the Snowball like us... Or maybe there is a cave at the bottom of the slope that can resist the blizzard and is connected to this cave?"

With that said, Piper could only follow Xiaozhi silently and go deeper into the cave. At this moment, the Coldspine Dragon seemed to react and suddenly ran to the front of the team excitedly, leading Xiaozhi and Piper forward.

"Liangjilong, have you discovered something? Is it Xiaoqing and the others..."

In the face of Xiaozhi's question, the Coldback Dragon did not respond, but concentrated on moving deeper into the cave. Along the way, the environment in the cave gradually became dim, and Papa at the back reminded Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, be careful! Visibility in the cave is limited, don't fall..."

Just when their visibility was almost zero, a beam of light appeared at a bend, and the Liangji Dragon in front of the team dived into the light after turning the bend.

"Coldback Dragon, wait for us!"

When Xiaozhi and Papper turned into the corner, what they saw was an open area inside the mountain. The source of the light came from the hollow gap above the cave.

Xiaozhi and Papa looked up and could see the outdoors from inside the cave. The blizzard outside was still raging. The sideways blowing snow and the gap in the mountain parallel to the ground did not intersect with each other, which made the environment in the cave safe. The sunlight also shined in through the wind and snow, illuminating the space inside the cave.

After Xiaozhi and his friends got familiar with the environment in the cave, they looked down at the receding Cold-Backed Dragon, only to see it following a Cold-Backed Dragon of the same blue-gray color... Xiaozhi's Cold-Backed Dragon looked very excited, chasing and playing with the wild Cold-Backed Dragon in front of it.

Not far away, there were several wild Dinobots and a Pokémon that was the same blue-gray color as Dinobots, but different in appearance and larger in size. They were looking at Ash's Dinobots and playing with the Dinobots.

Just when Xiaozhi's Coldspine Dragon was about to catch up with the wild Coldspine Dragon in front of it, the other party suddenly turned around and went around the ground under its feet. Just when Xiaozhi's Coldspine Dragon was confused, it had already stepped on the ground that the wild Coldspine Dragon was originally going to step on...

The Coolspine looked carefully and found that there was no ground in front of it, but a huge crack. Just when Xiaozhi's Coolspine was about to fall into the crack, the blue-gray unknown Pokémon in front of it suddenly attacked. A "Blizzard" skill came, blowing a fierce blizzard towards the Coolspine, blowing the Coolspine away, so that the Coolspine did not fall into the crack.

"Push..."

The Coldback Dragon, which was safely rescued by the other party, fell to the ground beside it. Xiaozhi behind him immediately leaned forward to check on the condition of the Coldback Dragon.

"Cryolophosaurus, are you okay?"

After watching the Coldback Dragon stand up and shake its head to indicate that it was not injured, Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, Coldback Dragon, I'm glad you're okay..."

Afterwards, Xiaozhi explored the crack on the side, and saw that there was still a spacious space underneath the crack, which was transparent to the space here, supporting the lighting of the lower level. Xiaozhi looked at the environment below and felt a sense of déjà vu. Papa beside him told him the truth.

"Xiaozhi, the area below seems to be the "Jinhui Mountain Road", where we met the "troublemakers" including the Coldspine Dragon before..."

At Papper's reminder, Xiaozhi also recalled that memory, and then looked at the unknown Pokémon that saved Dragonite.

"Thank you for saving my Coldback Dragon..., who are you...?"

Then Xiaozhi opened his mobile phone and checked Rotom.

“Frostback, an Icefin Pokémon with Dragon and Ice attributes, is the evolved form of Coldspine.

Cryospine freezes the air around it, protecting its face with a mask of ice. It also freezes its dorsal fin and turns it into a sword, which it can then do a front flip to attack its opponent, a move that requires strong legs and waist.

Xiaozhi smiled knowingly.

"So you are the evolved form of the Cold-Spine Dragon. No wonder you are with other wild Cold-Spine Dragons and look so similar to them..."

Suddenly, Xiaozhi also recalled what Joey said in the Pokémon Center in the "Kinhui Mountain Pass". The Coolspine Dragon fell from the upper area of ​​the "Kinhui Mountain Pass" one day. Combined with the fact that there are wild Coolspine Dragons here, Xiaozhi instantly had the answer and asked the Coolspine Dragon next to him.

"Cold-backed dragon, so this is the entrance to the Jinhui Mountain Trail where you fell before. The Frozen-backed dragon and the group of Cold-backed dragons in front of you are your companions. Is this your hometown?"

"Boom, boom!"

The Frostback nodded, indicating that Xiaozhi's guess was correct... At this moment, the Frostback on the opposite side made a cry, alerting Xiaozhi and Papper's invasion.

"Kuboom!"

As the cry of the Frostback Dragon drifted in the empty cave, the sound echoed here...

"Wait, Frozenspine! We are not suspicious intruders, we are just..."

Just as Xiaozhi and Papper were explaining, a chill gathered in front of Frostback again... At this critical moment, Xiaozhi's Frostback immediately jumped in front of Frostback, gesticulating and shouting, as if explaining to its companions.

“Puff, boom, puff…”

Thanks to Coldspine's efforts, Frozenspine stopped charging its attack and relaxed its vigilance against Xiaozhi and the others.

At this time, far outside the cave, Pikachu caught up with Xiaoqing and Deelemeow who were taken to the bottom of the slope by "Snowball", only to see that they had lost consciousness and fainted in the snow.

"Pikapi..."

Just when Pikachu was getting anxious and looked back but didn't see Xiaozhi and the others coming, he didn't know what to do. At this time, "Snowball" who was standing still nearby suddenly moved. Two arms and a tail stretched out from its round body, and its two short legs walked towards Pikachu and the sleepy Xiaoqing and the others with shaky steps.

"Pika pika!"

Pikachu was alert to the unknown Pokémon and signaled it not to approach rashly. It only heard a meowing sound from the unknown Pokémon, but it showed no hostility...

"Go, go!"

Pikachu finally felt relieved. Just when the two Pokémon were at a loss, a voice came towards them through the wind and snow.

"Who is it..., who is there? Is it a Pokémon? Or are there victims?"
