"Look at the two of you, you're so rough."

"?"

Masked Cat frowned and glanced at Wu Ge.

"Leji".

Regice obediently bowed his head and apologized.

"?"

Masked Cat frowned again and glanced at Regice once more.

Of the three Pokémon, she seems to be the only one who's normal.

"A mere little Sildron, so presumptuous."

Wu Ge crossed his arms and looked at Sidran on the ground.

He stepped forward and patted Sidson's face.

Seeing that Sidora did not move.

He grabbed a handful of snow from the side and smeared it on his face.

"Hoo-hoo?"

Sidora shuddered and groggily regained consciousness.

Looking at the three faces in front of him, he was furious.

Then he obediently lay still on the spot, not daring to move at all.

"Why did you attack Regice? Are you crazy?"

clap clap!

Wu Ge went up and slapped Xiduolanen twice across the face.

He was completely stunned after taking two hits.

However, when Wu Ge raised his arm again, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly began to explain:
"Hoo-hoo-hoo."

The more Siddon spoke, the more wronged he felt.

I'm sleeping soundly at home.

As a result, the environment suddenly started to cool down, and the temperature kept dropping, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

The moment he was woken up by the cold, he couldn't sit still any longer and rushed out of the house to find the culprit that was causing the ambient temperature to keep dropping.

Finally, Regice was discovered.

In order to restore the weather to its previous state, he had no choice but to drive Regice to another place.

"."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ge understood what was going on.

He had assumed that the weather phenomena caused by Regice would first attract the attention of humans.

Unexpectedly, they woke up another level-two god first.

In Pokémon, the most important things are eating and sleeping.

For these mythical beasts, it can be said that there is only one thing they do: 'sleep'.

They would naturally be quite angry if they couldn't even sleep peacefully.

The mythical beast is sleeping.

In fact, it is a conscious act of protecting life on Earth.

Because as long as the mythical beasts are awake, their every move could have a huge impact on the world.

Like Regice.

It only affected the mythical beasts in this nearby area, so it's already considered a minor problem.

When those divine beasts, who were said to have 'divine authority' and 'control a certain law', regained consciousness.

The impact would be felt at least on a regional level.

Take the Orange Islands, for example.

When second-tier deities like the Three Sacred Birds wander out of their territory and cause trouble, they can have a huge impact on the climate of the entire Orange Islands and even the Kanto region.

Not to mention those first-level gods.

Therefore, for most mythical beasts, remaining in a state of slumber is the greatest act of mercy towards other creatures when they are unable to fully control their bodies.

"Hey?"

Regice looked at Seadra.

He was asking himself if he had affected many Pokémon.

"Hoo-hoo".

Sidson nodded.

Along his journey, he saw many Pokémon migrating south.

The reason they are in this situation is because the weather in this area has been continuously cooling down and there is no sign of it warming up.

“Go back now. Regice is already working hard to learn how to control his body. I believe it won’t be long before he can successfully master his abilities.”

Wu Ge raised his hand and waved at Heatran, then looked at Regice beside him.

"If He hasn't mastered it within a week, I'll take him to the northwesternmost part of Sinnoh by the sea."

"Hoo-hoo".

Seadrane glanced at Reggie.

He didn't say anything more and turned to head towards Tianguan Mountain.

Wu Ge and the others watched as Sidolann left.

Turn around.

The igloo has collapsed.

"Where's my bag?"

Wu Ge's expression changed, and he rushed into the ruins to start digging through the ice.

Regice and Masked Meow also rushed over to help.

I searched for two or three minutes.

"Leji".

Regice's voice rang out.

After moving a large block of ice, He found the bag underneath.

From the outside, there was no sign of any damage, which relieved Regice.

"Here it is."

Wu Ge walked over and picked up the bag.

His bag was mostly filled with books and letters, so it wasn't easy for it to be damaged.

However, there are some special cases.

It needs to be checked carefully.

The moment the bag was opened, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Wu Ge's expression suddenly changed from relaxed to an eerie calm.

He reached in and pulled out a handful of glass shards, which he casually tossed onto the snow.

Reaching out again, he cautiously explored.

What reappeared in my palm was a flower specimen that was now completely broken.

"Meow"

Masked Cat opened its mouth, then froze in shock.

She glanced at Wu Ge with concern.

Flower specimens.

It accompanied Wu Ge for longer than Masked Cat.

It is an important item that carries the love of family members far away, and it has extraordinary significance for Wu Ge.

"Leji. (Wu Ge, I'm sorry, I fought with all my might.)"

Regice panicked.

He raised his hands, waving them helplessly, his mechanical voice coming out intermittently.

"."

Masked Cat glanced at Regice.

After knowing him for so many days, this was the first time she had ever heard 'emotion' in Regice's voice.

It was filled with apology and self-blame.

Masked Cat looked at Wu Ge again.

She understands him.

So she wasn't worried about Regice being criticized; she was only worried about Wu Ge's current mood.

Wu Ge stood still, her gaze lowered, looking at the broken flower in her hand, then slowly clenched her fist and turned around:

Are you alright?

A warm smile returned to Wu Ge's face.

He knew, of course, that Regice had fought hard.

"Leji."

Regice's eyes flickered, and he lowered his hands in a daze.

His body was still trembling; the wounds and excruciating pain from the battle were still affecting him.

"Phew, that guy must have been tough for you. Look at you, all red. But it's good that nothing serious happened, hahaha."

Wu Ge grinned, then looked at the masked cat beside him.
"Masked Meow, Regice is still burned. Let's split up and find some berries. I remember there are some in the forest not far away."

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded.

"Regice, you stay here and wait patiently."

Wu Ge turned around, about to take a step away, when suddenly he turned back.
"Oh, and please keep an eye on my bag."

The words fell.

Wu Ge headed towards the distant forest, his green figure quickly disappearing into the snowfield.

On the other side, Masked Cat watched Wu Ge leave, then glanced at Regice before heading in another direction.

Reggie, left behind, silently watched the direction Wu Ge had gone.

Bang.

The enormous body sat on the ground.

The reddened areas on his body were burning with pain, but he was completely unaware of it.

Seven yellow spots on her face shed one ice crystal after another.

For the first time, Regice had a concrete understanding of 'gentleness'. This was the first time in his life that he had been treated gently.

And in the forest not far away.

Wu Ge suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He walked to a tree, sat down, leaned against it, and spread out his hands.

Broken flowers are like time that has passed, never to return to their original state.

Wu Ge reached out with his other hand and gently fiddled with the fragile fragments in his hand, trying to put them back together.

However, the fragments are so small and scattered that restoring them would not be a quick process.

and.

Even if you piece them together, they can never be glued back together to their original state.

Wu Ge sighed, raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes slightly red:

"I'm sorry, Grandma. I broke it."

I sat on the ground and spaced out for a while.

Wu Ge stood up again, regaining his spirits.

"Regice's injuries are quite serious; we need to find some tree fruits and herbs as soon as possible."

Clench your fists, take a step forward, and set off again.

Half an hour later.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat returned to Regice's side almost one after the other.

The giant ice pillar sat blankly on the ground, and no one could tell what it was thinking.

"Regice, we're back. Lie down on the ground."

Wu Ge raised his hand and waved it in front of Regice, reminding Him to 'turn on'.

Regice obediently lay down.

"Masked Cat, squeeze out the juice and drip it on Regice."

Regice still cannot control his body.

Anything that comes into contact with it will immediately freeze into ice.

Applying it with your hands is definitely not an option.

Squeezing the juice from tree fruits and herbs and dripping it onto Regice's body, allowing the juice to freeze on his skin and take effect, is one method.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded and began to work.

"Regice, you'd better work hard to master your abilities these next few days. You heard what Heatran said."

Looking at the huge ice pillar, Wu Ge said helplessly.

"."

Regice lay on the ground without responding.

Wu Ge glanced at Him, suspecting that Regice had been hit hard.

However, there was nothing he could say.

Regice himself had no combat experience.

Moreover, they were facing a Pokémon like Heatran right from the start.

When the skill levels are similar, there is no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.

Night falls.

Regice rebuilt a large igloo on the ground.

Before going to sleep, Wu Ge gave him one last piece of advice.

If Regice doesn't take better control of his abilities...

The next one might not be Seadra, but something even more terrifying and difficult to deal with.

Regice remained silent.

Wu Ge shook his head, rolled over on the ground, and started to sleep.

He was so tired today, both physically and mentally, that he needed to sleep to recover.

Two hours passed.

Regice stood up from the ground and turned to look at Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

He walked outside alone.

I saw some flower fragments placed in a corner along the way.

Regice turned around and glanced at Wu Ge and Masked Cat again before walking towards the flower fragments.

in the dark.

Masked Cat silently opened its eyes.

Looking at Regice sitting in the corner fiddling with something, he sighed and closed his eyes again.

The next morning.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat woke up one after the other.

"Regice?"

Wu Ge turned his head and looked around.

The large icicle has disappeared.

Step out of the igloo and look outside.

The weather has changed, and snowflakes have started to fall from the sky.

Wu Ge frowned and immediately looked down at the snowfield beneath his feet. One hole after another was connected, leading towards the mountaintop.

Those were Regice's footprints.

Regice's feet are pointed, and when it steps on the snow, it creates holes.

"Meow!"

Masked Cat's exclamation came from behind.

"what happened?"

Wu Ge quickly turned around and walked in, then froze on the spot.

In the hands of the masked cat, there was an ice crystal plate.

Inside the ice crystal plate were flower specimens pieced together.

"Meow meow."

Masked Cat spoke up to remind Wu Ge.

She said it looked like the Eternal Ice Crystals they saw a year and a half ago when they went to the Celebration Museum with Phalaenopsis Orchid.

"...It seems that's really true!"

Wu Ge's eyes widened as he took the ice crystal plate from the masked cat's mouth and walked out of the ice house.

The pale blue ice crystal plate was crystal clear, making the flowers shine brightly in the sunlight, more than ten or a hundred times more dazzling than before.

"Let's go, follow the footprints and take a look."

Wu Ge made a decision immediately without any hesitation.

He went into the igloo, put on his backpack, and led Masked Meow, following Regice's footprints towards the mountaintop.

The cold wind howled.

The once silent snow-capped mountains became fierce and noisy again.

But this led Wu Ge to a guess.

He and the masked cat journeyed upwards together.

Half an hour later.

They finally reached the summit, which resembled a disc.

The mountaintop was completely empty.

There was only one large icicle with its two feet buried in the ground.

"Regice".

Wu Ge murmured something, then raised his hand and gently placed it on the icicle.

His palms were not frozen into ice.

Looking at the seven yellow dots on Regice's body that had faded.

He finally understood why Regice had been silent yesterday, and he also understood His choice.

"Meow."

Masked Cat reached out and tugged at Wu Ge's arm.

Then he pointed to the top of the large icicle.

That's the top of Regice's head; it used to be pointed, but now it's flat.

Wu Ge was momentarily dazed, then pulled out the ice plate that had frozen the flower specimen.

original.

So that's how the Eternal Ice Crystal came about.

No wonder it won't dissolve even after a thousand years.

After all, it was the embodiment of Regice's feelings.

And Regice's feelings.

It will not change even after a thousand or ten thousand years.

"Regice, thank you."

Wu Ge reached out and hugged the large icicle in front of him, murmuring something.

"Next time, don't hurt yourself again."

Take a step back.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat looked at the silent, massive ice pillar, then turned and headed down the mountain.

half an hour.

The seven yellow dots on the icicle flashed once.

Take care.

My best friend.

A biting wind howled incessantly against the icicles, as if nothing had ever happened there.

Warm sunlight pierced through the dark gray clouds, shining on the ice crystals at the top of the snow-capped mountain, scattering colorful rainbows into the sky.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat, who were descending the mountain, looked back.

A pure rainbow hangs on the mountaintop.

It was as if they were seeing them off.
