Chapter 686 The White Horse in the Snowstorm, the Snowstorm Horse! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
You really dare to shout that!

Jinghe's cheek twitched.

boom!
The wooden crown that had just floated up seemed to lose its support and fell back down.

Jing He: "."

No, the Crowned King should already be weak, which is why even its phantom image is so blurry. Now, will it be knocked out by Da Ye's words?
The old village chief rubbed the corner of his eye, looked at the serene sculpture before him, shook his head, and chuckled self-deprecatingly:

"I'm getting old, and I'm starting to hallucinate."

Then he said to Jinghe and Daye:

"Gentlemen, my house is the first one around the corner. I'll go back and clean it up first."

After saying this, he took the Dharma baboon back.

Jinghe and Daye were still standing in front of the decaying statue. Daye rubbed his eyes and asked, "Was that...an illusion?"

Why did I suddenly see a big cauliflower?

Probably hungry.

Da Ye thought to himself.

But as soon as Da Ye rubbed his eyes, he saw the fallen wooden crown float up again, as if the Brilliant Crown King had once again gathered its already limited power.

In the shadows, the indistinct Pokémon figure with a huge green bud on its head reappeared.

Beneath the enormous bud was a petite and slender body, like that of a rabbit, with a pair of blue eyes filled with both majesty and weariness, and lips pursed.

Behind it are a pair of wings that resemble a cape, and beneath its gray-white body, its slender and pure white legs stand out somewhat, forming a striking contrast with the enormous crown on its head.

Queen of the Crowns!
The ancient king of the Galar region, known as the "God of Fertility" and the "King of Fertility," has now appeared before Jinghe and Daye in a special form!

"That cauliflower head is here again!"

Da Ye exclaimed in surprise again.

A hint of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the Crowned Queen. She glanced at the startled Big Leaf and her lips twitched slightly.

Queen of the Lace: "%￥#@&%￥."

Holy crap, is this swearing?

I don't understand!

Doesn't it sound a bit awful?
Seemingly realizing something, the Crowned Queen looked enlightened, glanced at Da Ye again, a flash of blue light in her eyes, and her wooden crown suddenly fell onto Da Ye's head, securing his fluffy afro.

"Ku?"

Infernape paused, then suddenly gasped, as if sensing something, and was about to kick the wooden crown.

But Jinghe stopped him.

"Don't rush, Infernape."

Before Da Ye could react, she seemed to lose consciousness, her eyes gradually becoming blank, and her body slowly levitated, emanating an aura of majesty similar to that of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.

He's possessed.

In the game, Rachel liked to possess Peony and communicate with the protagonist, but here Peony has been replaced by Bigleaf.

Da Ye, whose expression was blank, moved his lips and made a somewhat hoarse and low sound.

"You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you."

Jinghe looked at Da Ye, who was being used as a mouthpiece, and reiterated that it was okay for Infernape, saying:
“In fact, even without the help of this human, I can communicate with Your Majesty.”

"Oh?" A hint of doubt was in his voice.

Jing He didn't hesitate and directly used the power of waveguide to clearly sense the presence of Daye and the slight will of the Brilliant King attached to Daye.

As for the waveguide, the Queen of the Crowns naturally sensed it as well, and "Big Leaf" gave him a rather surprised look.

"So it was the 'Waveguide Messenger'."

As a former king of the Galar region, he had also witnessed the renowned waveguide master of the ancient city of Ordron.

His voice was flat and unwavering; he simply repeated:
"This is a small 'punishment' for his disrespect."

Once is one thing, but two or three times? Does it really think that Lacecrown has no dignity?

Simply possessing her body is already a great favor to Jing He.

"Oh"

Jing He nodded.

Face, well, it's something you earn yourself.

He started rummaging through the inside pockets of his clothes, muttering to himself:

"Sorry, it's a little uncomfortable."

As he spoke, a silver feather appeared in his hand.

Silver Feathers!

The Crowned King's eyes gleamed slightly. "Messenger of the Sea."

Then came a multicolored feather.

Rainbow feathers!

"Rainbow Warrior!"

The Crowned King's tone changed slightly, becoming somewhat hesitant.

"This thing is a bit hard."

Jinghe took out the [Gene Wedge] again, muttering to himself while rubbing his chest.

"The Messenger of the Way"

After a moment of silence, the Crowned King's expression became serious and earnest.

Then there's the Thousand-Fold Arm.

"The messenger of Arceus."

Then came a bunch of random things.

Crowned Queen: "."

Taking a deep breath, the expression on King Lei Guan's face as he looked at Jing He changed significantly.

The wooden crown gradually left Da Ye's head, leaving Jing He with a message.

"I will be waiting for you under the tree behind the temple."

Done.

The wooden crown returned to the decaying sculpture, and Da Ye slowly landed. He looked around blankly and scratched the back of his head.

"What's wrong? It feels like I just dozed off? Ouch—"

Da Ye gasped, rubbing his arms to keep warm, and ran toward the suspicious-looking Infernape.

"Why did you run so far? I'm freezing!"

Jing He shook his head and said to Da Ye:
"Da Ye, you go to the village chief's house first, I have something to do."

After saying that, without waiting for Da Ye's reaction, he turned and headed towards the highest peak of the Crown Snowfield.

Getting lost in the vast snow-covered mountains is possible, but if you're only heading towards the highest snow-capped peak, getting lost is not an option.

"Teacher Jinghe, the village chief just said there's going to be a blizzard—"

Da Ye shouted from below, "Go early and come back early!"

Jinghe waved his hand.

After leaving the village, he recalled his Ice Ninetales, threw out a Poké Ball to summon Dragonite, skillfully put on his protective gear, pointed to the hazy mountains in the distance, and said softly:

"Dragonite, let's go."

"Woo~"

With a joyful cry, Dragonite flapped its wings and carried Jinghe toward the highest peak of the Crown Snowfield.

In this frigid land, where snow and ice block the way and the cold is biting, flying is no easy task. The higher the altitude, the more difficult it is to withstand the cold, let alone fly.

Even if an ordinary person is wearing the thickest clothes, they probably wouldn't be able to keep out this pervasive chill.

As a Dragon/Flying type Pokémon, Dragonite clearly didn't like this environment, so it flew a little faster, making it somewhat difficult for Jinghe to endure.

Fortunately.

With Dragonite's flying speed, what seems like a long distance doesn't actually take too much time.

It was tough on Jinghe, with both the cold and the fast pace.
below.

In a dark and cold mountain ravine, something seemed to sense the presence of a Dragonite rushing through the air. The snow loosened, and a head resembling a jet engine slowly emerged from the cave.

A white mist formed from the heat rose, and a scrutinizing look appeared in his narrow eyes.

Through the hole in its head, several tiny creatures curiously propped their heads up.

suddenly.

A gaze swept over, and the guy quickly pulled his head back into the cave.

Such strong perception.
"Woo——"

The long, drawn-out chant swept through the air.

Jinghe and Kuailong arrived at the highest peak of the Crown Snowfield.

An ancient palace, completely buried by heavy snow, with only a faint outline visible.

Behind the temple stood a decaying yet still towering ancient tree in the cold wind, even taller than the temple itself. Unfortunately, it was bare, with nothing but branches and snow.

When Jinghe arrived at the ancient tree, the phantom of the Crowned Bud was already waiting there.

It stood atop the cliff with its hands behind its back, gazing down at the vast snowfield, like a ruler examining the past of a kingdom.

Hearing the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow, the lace crown slowly turned around.

Perhaps because they were closer to the place of slumber, the phantom of the Crowned King had become much more solid than before.

It looked at Jing He, the "extraordinary" trainer, with less of its majesty and more of its gentleness.

With the help of waveguides, Jinghe is able to "understand" what Lei Guanwang says.

"You came."

Jinghe nodded without saying anything, but walked to the side of the Crowned King and looked out at the plain snowfield with it.

However, from his shadow, Gengar couldn't contain its curiosity and peeked out, looking at the petite Calyrex with its eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

"I should thank you properly. If it weren't for your faith, I don't know when I would have been able to awaken."

As the "King of Abundance," and a true mythical beast, Calycerin's source of power differs from that of all other mythical beasts.

Its power comes from faith.

Faith is the source of its power.

The former Calycerin King, as the King of Galar, amassed immense power through the faith of the entire Galar region.

It is said to possess the powerful ability to heal the soul and make plants sprout, making it a Pokémon full of compassion.

When it raises its right hand, it can make hundreds of flowers bloom and grass grow lush and green.

When it raises its left hand, it can make the land fertile and produce a bountiful harvest.

Therefore, it is known as the "King of Abundance". Before that, it was actually called the "King of Legends".

However, for some unknown reason, King Raiguan, at the height of his power, suddenly became negligent in his duties.

The Brilliant Flower is not often seen by humans; it represents a symbolic flower—the Radiant Flower.

However, the blooming of the "Radiant Flower" requires a great deal of effort, and due to its indolence, the "Radiant Flower" gradually stops blooming.

Meanwhile, the residents of Frozen Village, who were the most devout believers and subjects of the Queen of the Crown, were terrified, thinking that they had angered the Queen of the Crown, and kept cleaning the Crown Temple, which served as her temple.

They even went so far as to reduce their own food and rations, offering precious crops as sacrifices in hopes of gaining the "forgiveness" of the Brilliant King.

Even so, the "Radiant Flower" ceased to bloom, and as time passed, even the custom of worshipping the Brilliant King gradually disappeared, and the faith in the Brilliant King vanished.

If it weren't for Jinghe and Gengar, who by chance contributed a little bit of their faith power to Calyrex, Calyrex would probably still be asleep.

Therefore, even without Jing He's act of "proving his identity," the King of Lei Guan was still very grateful to him.

"Unbeknownst to us, thousands of years have passed." King Rai-Crowned sighed deeply, his hands clasped behind his back.

Because the communication was conducted via waveguide, Jinghe was able to sense the overwhelming grief in Lei Guanwang's heart.

In fact, Jinghe wanted to ask King Leiguan why he had been "negligent in his duties" in the first place. If he hadn't been lazy, how could he have lost faith with his ability as the "King of Abundance"?

But now doesn't seem like the time to ask that question.

after all
At this moment, the Queen of the Lace-Crowned King looked as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep again due to a lack of strength.

"Could you do me a favor?"

Suddenly, the Crowned Queen turned to look at Jing He, her tone sincere and pleading.

coming.

Jing He had roughly guessed what the King of Lace Crowns meant by "busy," but he still patiently explained:

"Please say."

The Crowned King took a deep breath and looked down once more at the vast snowfield.

“Relying on faith, I fear my strength will not be restored in a short time. But I once had two beloved horses, with whom I had a deep bond, and I have entrusted a portion of my strength to these two horses.”

It must be the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Nether Horse. Jing He nodded slightly, waiting for the Crowned Calyx to continue.

"However, I have been asleep for too long. My two beloved horses, which are wild and untamed and cannot be tamed by ordinary people, have long since disappeared. But I can sense that they should still be in the snowfield."

As if catching his breath, the Queen of the Lace Crown paused.

"I would like to ask you to help me bring these two beloved horses back."

Given how breathless Jinghe was when she asked the Crowned Serpent to help her look after the Vine Snake, it was clearly a bit of a stretch.

Perhaps we should help King Raikou regain his strength first.

Moreover, as a normal human being, Jing He was quite curious about the matter of King Lei Guan's "neglect of his duties" back then, and her gossipy heart was stirring.

"What should I do?"

"I have seen that you have planted ice radishes and black radishes. They are the favorites of my two beloved horses. As long as you place them in a secluded spot in the snowfield, they will most likely appear."

It glanced at Jing He and earnestly instructed him:
"Remember, those two horses are wild and untamed, so be very careful."

What about the "restraints"?

Before Jing He could ask, King Lei Guan continued:

"To truly tame these two horses, a 'bridle' is essential. This item should have been offered by the believers of Frozen Village, but it seems that it is no longer available."

“Perhaps they also know how to make it?” Jinghe asked.

He remembered that in the game, to make a "tethering rope," he needed the help of the village chief of Frozen Village.

"The method of making it may still exist."

The Crowned King nodded. It wasn't sure, but it could only hope for the best.

"But to create the 'Binding Reins,' one must have the 'Radiant Flower,' which only I, the King, can make bloom, but it consumes a great deal of energy."

It slowly walked up to the huge withered tree, where a tiny bud stood out starkly as it approached.

"This"

"The power I have accumulated during my thousand-year slumber can only bring forth this one plant."

Taking a deep breath, the Lady Crown King spoke again:

"I will do my utmost to make it bloom later. Please make sure to use this flower to make a 'bridle' to capture your beloved horse."

As it spoke, it looked at Jinghe.

"I entrust everything to you."

It has been "observing" Jinghe through the "statue" for some time now.

Putting aside their strength for the moment, Jinghe's attitude towards Pokémon is one of great approval, which is why he dares to trust and entrust everything to him.

As for its strength, it originally intended to test the waters.

But seeing Jinghenado's "proof" made him abandon that idea.

As the "Waveguide Messenger", "Sea Messenger", "Rainbow Warrior", "Taoist Messenger", and "Messenger of Arceus", there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Jing He pursed her lips, unsure of the Queen's thoughts, but suddenly couldn't help asking:
"Your Majesty, why did you fall into a deep slumber?"

It's inappropriate to ask "Why did you abandon your people?" directly, and it's even more inappropriate to ask "Why did you neglect your duties?" It's better to ask "Why are you asleep?"

He wanted to confirm what exactly the King of the Rachelnes was thinking.

Although the Lacecrown King is known as the "King of Abundance," that is, after all, an ancient legend. What if its "neglect of governance" stems from dissatisfaction with humanity or something else? And what if it does something unpleasant after regaining its power?
After all, it was humans who caused it to gradually lose its power. Could it harbor resentment?

What if the restored King Rai-King suddenly blurted out, "I will reclaim the six kingdoms"? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

There is a significant difference between a benevolent ruler and a tyrant.

The Crowned Queen paused slightly as she raised her hand.

It raised its head with a hint of melancholy and murmured, "My memory is a bit hazy, but I remember... it was an incredibly huge meteorite."

Meteorite?

Wujitana?

Yes.

There are records of "Dark Night" in the Galar region, as well as records of "legendary heroes" dispelling "Dark Night," but there are no rumors of a giant meteorite impacting the Galar region.

Such a huge meteorite, carrying the Ephemera, must have had an unimaginable impact.

If it were to fall, all living beings in the entire Galar region would likely be wiped out by the immense catastrophe caused by the meteorite impact.
Even Arceus, the creator god, nearly perished in the northwest when faced with the impact of a massive meteorite.

If it was Calyrex at that time, Calyrex at its peak, and it suffered a great loss of power or even serious injury in order to protect its people from the impact of the giant meteorite, then...
But that was 20,000 years ago, wasn't it?

Wasn't the Crowned King said to have been asleep for thousands of years?
"I have been asleep for too long. Not long after I awoke, darkness enveloped the world. I can no longer remember the specifics."

Having just recovered from the damage caused by the impact of a massive meteorite, they've encountered "Dark Night" again?
The feud between the Crowned Queen and Mugenta is truly deep.
It's unclear exactly how much of a role the Sword King and the Shield King played in "Dark Night".

But from the Crowned King's account, it is not hard to tell that he did everything he could for his people.

It both withstood the meteorite and fought against the Aeontana.

In Jinghe's opinion, it's already amazing that they're still alive.

As for whether Calyrex lied or made things up, Jinghe's identity as a "Pokémon psychologist" wasn't just randomly assigned.

Jing He's gaze towards King Lei Guan now held a greater degree of respect.

At least, this was someone who truly dedicated himself to his people.

It's really tough on it.

He painstakingly withstood the meteorite and protected his people under the "Dark Night," only to have his title of "King of Galar" stolen by two humans.

"I will help you find your two beloved horses," Jinghe solemnly promised.

Upon hearing this, King Raichoun showed a look of relief. "I... I entrust this to you!"

As it spoke, it stared at the tender buds on the withered tree and said earnestly and solemnly:
"Then I, the King, will allow the 'Flower of Radiance' to bloom once more!"

hum-

A dazzling power erupted from the Brilliant King, and the enormous crown atop his head shone with a brilliant light.

The flower buds at the neckline slowly unfolded one after another.

In front of it, a tender bud grew rapidly and sprouted branches, and a light blue, crystal-clear flower quietly bloomed.

"It's now!"

Jinghe stepped forward and, using waveguide, cupped the half-open flower in her palm.

With its current power, the Brilliant King no longer even has the ability to make flowers fully bloom.
The exhausted Queen of the Crowns was panting heavily.

"Please, please."

Its form slowly dissipated like a bubble, eventually disappearing completely.

The already withered giant tree seemed to have decayed even more, looking as if it might collapse at any moment in the wind and snow.

Before I knew it, I had taken on another job for myself.

Fortunately, it's a good thing.

The Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse shouldn't be as difficult to deal with as they are against a Level 1 God.

Just right.

After resting at home for about ten days, coupled with the series of events, big and small, that happened recently, it's a good opportunity for my little guys to test their current strength and the results of their hard training.

If we really want to compare their strength, Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse are probably about the same as the Three Divine Birds and the Three Holy Beasts, right?

"Let's go, Dragonite, let's go back."

Jinghe patted the round, bouncy belly of the dragon.

Once we've resolved the issue with the Bejeweled King, we can ask it to look after the Snivy and instantly guide us to the place where Regigi and Regidora once slept, so we can send Regigi home!

"Waaah~(ˊˋ)"

The fast dragon picked up Jinghe and prepared to head back the way it came.

But rather.

At this moment, a blizzard suddenly arose on the snowfield. The howling cold wind carried heavy snowflakes, greatly reducing the visibility. This blizzard was comparable to the "snowfall" of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, and its range was much larger.

"Let's fly close to the ground," Jing He hurriedly said.

Flying higher and higher, getting lost becomes a minor issue.

"Woo~"

Dragonite immediately plummeted downwards.

A few patches of emerald green grass soon came into view, appearing somewhat out of place amidst the vast snow-capped mountains.

The Crown Snowfield is not entirely a world of ice and snow; there are always one or two areas where plants grow due to some special reasons.

This is also the source of food for many Pokémon that inhabit the Crown Snowfield.

Further south of the Crown Snowfield, although the weather is still cold, the vegetation is quite lush.

Many ancient ruins and temples are located in that area.

Amidst the wind and snow, in the swaying grass, several giant butterflies fluttered their wings, stirring up wave after wave of wind to fight against the snow and try their best to prevent snowflakes from falling on their habitat, protecting their already barren home.

In this already barren land, where there was finally a place that could be considered a habitat, a few green caterpillars in the grass behind the butterflies looked utterly helpless.

However, the fact that the Butterflies were able to occupy this area and prevent it from being covered by ice and snow shows that they were quite capable.

Especially the one that was the leader.

Each time it flaps its wings, it can blow away most of the falling snow, and the rest is blown away by other giant butterflies.

The harsher the environment, the stronger the wild Pokémon that inhabit it tend to be. This is true of Mt. Silver, Mt. Coronet, and the Crown Tundra.

If Jing He hadn't seen it, that would be one thing, but since she did...
A beam of red light shot out.

"Ice Nine-Tailed Fox!"

  "Ow~"

A snow sprite-like ice ninetail appeared on the grass, gently waving its tail under the wary gazes of the Butterfrees.

The howling wind and snow that had been sweeping around them suddenly stopped, and the extreme cold was also partially blocked by the power of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

A slight, vibrant pulse of life emanated from beneath its feet, and a gentle warmth rose from the earth's veins, easing the shivering green caterpillars in the grass.

So they came to help.

The butterflies cast grateful glances at each other.

The power of nature cannot be quelled all at once unless it is a deity.

Since there's a blizzard going on and Jinghe won't be able to return to Dongning Village anytime soon, he might as well stay on this grassland and help the Butterflies withstand the blizzard.

"Everyone, come out."

Jinghe threw out all the Poké Balls, summoning all of her little guys.

In particular, the Azure Flame Blade Demon began releasing heat as soon as it appeared, gradually warming the temperature on the grass.

Jinghe even brought out some food to share with the Pokémon struggling to survive in the snowfield, including Energy Cubes, macarons, and Poffins.

The green caterpillars living on the snowy grasslands had never seen anything like this before, and they stared longingly at Jing He and the food in front of him.

Seeing this, Jing He smiled slightly, pushed the food forward, and said:
"You are welcome."

Having formed a friendly impression from their previous help in resisting the wind and snow, the caterpillars, seeing that the butterflies didn't seem to mind, immediately climbed up.

Before long, Jinghe was surrounded by green caterpillars and those eagerly waiting armored pupae.

"This thread"

Jinghe found a piece of white silk thread in her hand, and when she gently pulled it, she felt its considerable resilience.

Plants that can grow in extremely cold places naturally have their own special characteristics and resilience, and the silk threads spun by the green caterpillars that feed on these plants are somewhat different from those of ordinary green caterpillars.

For wild Pokémon, the environment ultimately shapes them, and those that survive are all elites; this is nothing more than the survival of the fittest in nature.

"You guys should take a rest too."

Jinghe greeted the butterflies.

The plants can grow here not only because they are somewhat special, but also because of the environment.

With mountains on two sides that provide shelter from the sun and block out the light, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox erected some ice walls on the other two sides to block the wind and snow, making the cold and frigid conditions much better than before.

Many Butterflies also gathered around, tempted by the food, but the one that should have been the leader of the Butterflies remained standing solemnly in the crack of the ice wall.

This Butterfly is probably at least level 50, which is truly rare.

Under the guidance of the [Illustrated Guide] and the waveguide, Jinghe could sense its tense emotions.

nervous?

What is it afraid of?
Jing He had Xiong Zhidao and Cangyan Rengui distribute the food, then walked to the Butterfly and, using her aura, asked:

"what are you worried about?"

"Ee~"

The leader of the giant butterflies gently shook its wings, causing snowflakes to fall.

Such a huge blizzard is when that guy is active.
snowstorm?
That rascal?
Snowstorm Horse?
Yes.

Even if a horse doesn't eat during a blizzard, or can survive on some ice and snow as food, as a horse, even without its favorite ice carrots, who can resist a bite of fresh grass?
The plants here are so lush that even caterpillars can grow so plump, so the nutrients must be plentiful.

If Jinghe were a Snowstorm Horse, he certainly wouldn't refuse such a good place to get food.

However, although grasslands are scarce in the Crown Snowfield, they are not limited to this one area. Therefore, the Snowstorm Horse has a chance of appearing, but it does not mean that it will definitely appear.

"If we encounter a snowstorm horse in a blizzard, that would be quite difficult," Jing He thought to herself.

A snow blizzard horse on a sunny day is definitely different from a snow blizzard horse in a blizzard.

"Eee~!"

Based on the time intervals, that guy should have been loitering around the area recently.

The leader of the Great Butterfly Clan was not without reason.

The activity time and patterns of the Snowstorm Horse are based on certain criteria, therefore...
"Xilulu——"

suddenly.

A loud, long cry came from the distant, vast expanse of wind and snow.

"哓GA!"

Gengar and the rest of Jinghe's Pokémon stood up and immediately came to his side, adopting a defensive posture.

The leader of the Great Butterfly Clan trembled slightly, his expression becoming even more serious.

The other butterflies and caterpillars behind it showed even more obvious fear, with the caterpillars hiding in the corners of the grass and curling up.

coming!

In the snowstorm where visibility was already extremely low, a snow-white horse slowly walked towards them, its heavy hooves pounding the ground.

It was as if, in its eyes, this moment was not a blizzard, but a sunny day with flowers in bloom.

A pure white horse, its limbs and tail covered with thick ice crystals, and its face resembling an ice crystal mask, gradually came into Jing He and the others' sight.

A white horse in the snowstorm!

"Well, I haven't even used the iced radish yet, and I've already run into this," Jinghe thought to herself.

In the eyes of the Snowstorm Horse, those ice walls standing in the snowstorm must be an extremely delicious treat.

Fresh grass?

Its favorite thing is this kind of ice with extremely high hardness!
It's been a long time since I've encountered ice of this quality; I must enjoy it properly.

Ever since the Crowned King fell into a deep sleep, it had forgotten how long it had been since it had eaten ice that could even remotely rival "Ice Radish".

The snowstorm horse didn't even think about why there were ice blocks here. It just raised its two front hooves, neighed again, and was overjoyed.

Gengar was also pleasantly surprised.

"Genga! (_)"

Its eyes lit up, and it couldn't help but imagine itself riding a white horse, holding the reins.

This horse.
This horse is more befitting of my status!

Gengar licked its lips, already looking eager to pounce.

So say it.

The one riding a white horse isn't necessarily a prince; he could also be a ghost.
