Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 168 Ice Crystals Fall from the Sky

Wu Ge and Masked Cat left Baidai City after a short stay.

They will continue their journey north.

Phalaenopsis will stay in Baidai City for a while longer, as there are still many things she wants to study there.

All the way north.

Wu Ge, leading Masked Cat, entered the snowfield area within a week.

A thousand years ago, the Xicui area was called Pure White Frozen Soil.

The endless white snowfield seemed to stretch on forever, and it was unclear when it would end.

"In the far north there is Xuefeng City, which should have evolved from the Xuefeng Temple a thousand years ago."

Wu Ge looked up at the gray sky, where pure white snowflakes continued to fall from the dark gray clouds.

"Meow"

Masked Cat twitched its ears, shaking off the pile of snow.

"Should we find a place to rest first? There's a mountain ahead, we can go see if there are any caves there."

Looking into the distance, Wu Ge can see a small hill.

In snowy mountains, there are usually some caves.

Whether unearthed by Pokémon or by travelers who had passed through before, these places can serve as temporary resting places for those who come after.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded; she felt a little cold.

At times like this, you should eat some food to replenish your energy, rest for a while, and then set off again.

"Let's go then."

Wu Ge reached out and grabbed Masked Cat, heading in that direction.

Fortunately, they spotted a cave as soon as they saw the rock face.

The cave was small, unlike anything humans had dug, but it was big enough for Wu Ge and Masked Cat to squeeze in.

and.

"The cave is a bit small. Wait a moment, I'll enlarge and deepen it."

Wu Ge told Masked Cat to stay to the side.

He himself used digging to enlarge the cave three or four times.

The main improvement was to increase the depth of the cave, making the innermost part of the cave six or seven meters away from the entrance.

"Meow?"

After Wu Ge finished digging, Masked Cat came over, grabbed his hand, and took a look.

The tips of my fingers have turned a little red.

"It's alright, the soil here has all frozen solid."

Wu Ge shook his head. He didn't feel any pain, just a bit of cold.

pat.

Light footsteps could be heard outside the cave, as if some Pokémon was heading this way.

"Meow?"

"Could we have stumbled upon a Pokémon's den?"

Wu Ge scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

This fan not only barged into someone's home, but also expanded their 3-square-meter bedroom into a 30-square-meter bedroom.

The owner of the footsteps quickly revealed his true identity.

It's a snow hat monster.

"The Snow Hat Monster."

Wu Ge smiled when he saw the newcomer.

Because Snowcap is a kind and fun Pokémon, its characteristics can be simply summarized as being silly but kind-hearted and loving to join in the fun.

They are not rare Pokémon, and the probability of encountering them in the snowy mountains is quite high.

Humans don't know much about them simply because they mostly only appear on snow-covered mountains, places that humans rarely go.

Generally speaking.

Humans can only see the Snow Hat Monster coming down from the mountaintop during the very cold season.

However, when spring comes, they will run back up the mountain.

It's winter now, which is the perfect season for the snow-hatted monsters to come down from the mountain.

It seems.

This small cave is not the Snow Hat Monster's den; it's just a temporary one at most.

"Yoki?"

When Snow Hat Monster saw Wu Ge and Masked Cat, it tilted its head, but wasn't afraid, and walked straight over.

Then he hugged Wu Ge and rubbed his cheek against hers.

That's right, this is a unique and mysterious operation of the Snow Hat Monster clan.

Many human travelers are baffled by the Snow Hat Monster's abrupt behavior when they first encounter it.

But the snow-hat monsters meant no harm.

They are only interested in those rare creatures.

In the past, during the Warcraft era.

Snowcap is one of the few Pokémon that can enter a human village without causing panic.

Furthermore, Snowcap is a very popular friend Pokémon among children in human villages.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat was completely bewildered by Snow Hat Monster and reached out to tug at him.

Then Snow Hat Monster changed its target and hugged Masked Cat.

"Meow."

Masked Cat reached out and pushed Snow Hat Monster away.

She noticed it the moment she touched it.

The snow-hat monster felt icy cold.

She already felt cold, so she didn't want to get too close to the snow-hatted monster.

Is this your home?

Wu Ge raised his hand and rubbed the snow-hat monster's belly, asking a question.

It feels hard to the touch.

Although Snowcap Monster looks chubby, its chubbyness is different from that of Dragonite.

His stomach felt like the trunk of a palm tree, somewhat rough and hard, which was consistent with his grass-type attribute.

"Yoki."

Snow Hat Monster shook his head.

He said he only came this way because he noticed Wu Ge and Masked Cat's footsteps.

"I see. Do you live here alone?"

Wu Ge couldn't help but smile.

That's how the Snow Hat Monster is; when it sees footprints on the snowy mountain, it can't help but go over to see what's going on.

Like a stalker.

They're not bad people; they just have nothing better to do than observe. If they encounter an interesting human or Pokémon, they'll even share the fruit they produce with them.

"Yoki yoki."

Snow Hat Monster shook his head and turned to look behind him.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat also looked towards the direction outside the cave.

But there was nothing there.

The snow-hatted monster scratched its head, walked out of the cave, and then dragged a small guy who was a head shorter back in.

The new little guy looks like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), except that the wrapping of rice isn't a green leaf, but a yellow cone-shaped cloak.

"Snow Child, is this your friend?"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow when he saw the new little guy.

The Pokémon Snorunt also has a very good reputation.

According to legend, families where the Snow Child dwells will have many children and prosperous families.

This is not a misconception.

The wealthy people in those cold places generally have memories of playing with snow children when they were poor as children.

Therefore, this saying is very famous in the northern snowfields of Sinnoh.

However, the Snow Child race has many limitations.

They are different from the Snow Hat Monster.

The snow-capped monster can survive even away from the snow-capped mountains; living in the forest is also an option.

Snow Children can only survive on cold land and live solely on snow and ice.

But that's why.

People living in this icy and snowy place have a custom of making ice blocks from clean water and offering them at their doorsteps.

Everyone was hoping that Snow Child would come and visit them.

"Yoki."

Snow Hat Monster nodded and reached out to embrace the Snow Child beside him.

"Yoki"

Snow Child seemed to be a somewhat timid girl, hiding behind Snow Hat Monster and not daring to come out.

"Hey, you two shout the same thing."

Wu Ge then realized that the Snow Hat Monster and the Snow Child made the same sound.

The only difference is in the tone and pitch.

This was something he hadn't noticed when he watched anime before.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat reached out and tugged at Snow Child's cloak.

This startled the Snow Child so much that his eyes rolled back and he lay on the ground.

"Meow?!"

Masked Cat was shocked.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such a timid Pokémon.

"Uh"

Wu Ge was somewhat surprised to see Xue Tongzi suddenly faint.

Most Pokémon like Snorunt are lively and outgoing.

Moreover, due to their racial characteristics, they can still move around energetically even in environments as cold as -100 degrees Celsius.

Under such circumstances, it would be relatively difficult for a personality trait like 'timidity' to develop.

Therefore, this snowman stands out as somewhat 'unique'.

"Yoki."

Snow Hat Monster waved his hand, telling them not to worry.

He skillfully scooped up a handful of snow from the ground and smeared it on the Snow Child's face.

Three seconds later.

Snow Child opened his eyes and stood up again, then immediately hid behind Snow Hat Monster.

"Meow"

Masked Cat breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought she had scared the little guy half to death.

"Yoki?"

"We're planning to have a meal and rest here. Why don't you join us?"

Wu Ge grinned and brought his backpack to his face.

A couple of days ago in Baidai City, I had Phalaenopsis help me mend my bag again.

The once simple bag is now covered in patches.

Although it's not as brand new as it used to be, the colorful patches covering it actually make it look much better.

When leaving Baidai City.

Phalaenopsis helped them purchase many portable Pokémon foods at the mall.

Wu Ge took out several cans of instant food and distributed them to the other three Pokémon.

The food in the cans isn't the kind of mixture of individual grains like dog food seen in cartoons.

The can contains carefully designed cookies.

The cookies come in all sorts of shapes and are filled with various compressed dried fruits.

"Yoki~"

Snow Hat Monster took a bite and immediately started showing off with a big gulp.

At the same time, he didn't forget to stuff a biscuit into the Snow Child's mouth.

Only after Yuki-Douji tasted it did he dare to stand up and eat in small bites.

Although it wasn't that I hadn't been fed by passing humans before.

However, those who live in the wild year-round have relatively few opportunities to eat this unique food.

After having a meal together, Yuki-Douji wasn't as afraid of Wu Ge and Masked Cat as he had been at first, but he still sat quietly in the corner without saying a word.

"Yoki?!" x2.
Suddenly, Snow Hat Monster and Snow Child both turned their heads to look outside the cave.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat belatedly looked over.

The weather has changed.

"Hail? No, ice crystals?"

Wu Ge walked to the outside of the cave, frowned, and looked up.

What was falling from the sky were no longer snowflakes, but ice crystals that shimmered with a faint light.

This weather is so strange.

This is the first time in all of Wu Ge's lifetimes that he has ever seen weather like this.

Have you ever seen weather like this before?

"Yoki."

Snow Hat Monster and Snow Child shook their heads at the same time.

"It seems that something special has happened."
