The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

The little girl was now a bit confused. She didn't know the man's name, but he didn't seem like a bad person. But what did he mean by what he just said?

After Kyosuke finished training and retrieved his Pokémon, she quickly stopped him before he could leave.

Why did you leave?

"There's no time," Kyosuke replied casually.

"That's Articuno! Don't you think it's a shame to miss it?"

"It's normal not to see him/her."

"Why are you going against me?" That was her biggest question.

"You're the weakest trainer here." Kyosuke also walked out of the gym area.

"Hmph, what a stingy man." The little girl secretly made a face at Xiong Jie's back.

Back in the room, the heat dissipated, and Kyosuke lay down to rest for a while, but felt that the temperature was actually colder than a few days ago.

"Could it be..." Kyosuke's eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility. Although he had just returned to his room, he immediately went out again.

It's only five o'clock, but the lobby of the Pokémon Center is unusually lively, with people chatting loudly in twos and threes, as if it were some important holiday.

"As expected... the sudden blizzard... it must be Articuno."

Suddenly, Kyosuke remembered the girl he had just met: "Is it a coincidence, or did she really sense something?"

The Pokémon Center staff quickly provided breakfast for the trainers. Some chose to go up the mountain early, but most opted to eat breakfast first.

The people at the Pokémon Center gradually left, but Kyosuke wasn't in a hurry. He knew that Articuno wasn't some kind of first-come, first-served deal; on the contrary, it was much easier to die from it.

Kyosuke has a clear understanding of his own position: it's normal for him not to gain anything; he's already made a profit just by looking at Articuno.

Moreover, Articuno reminded Kyosuke of Ho-Oh, casting a shadow over these legendary Pokémon.

A legend about rescuing people trapped in the snow-capped mountains? Who knows if it caused the avalanche?

After most of the Pokémon Center had left, the young lady led her large group of followers toward Poor Earth Mountain, and Kyosuke finally put on his snow mountain climbing suit and set off.

Stepping outside, I found that it was already snowing lightly in this usually warm town, and there wasn't a soul on the street.

Trainers have all gone up the mountain, and locals don't want to go out.

Looking towards the snow-capped mountains behind the town, the fastest people are almost halfway up the mountain and about to enter the icy region. Soon, a Flamethrower will be used. It's unclear whether it's an encounter with a wild Pokémon and a battle ensues or if it's just to let everyone know their location.

Kyosuke suddenly realized that regardless of whether Articuno existed or not, the living environment of Pokémon on Mount Poorland had definitely been destroyed, and there might even be no more Pokémon on Mount Poorland in the future.

Humans are always destroying the world.

But Kyosuke was helpless. In fact, he had unknowingly become one of them.

Aside from the fastest trainer with a Fire-type Pokémon, the most eye-catching group was the group of dozens of men in black.

Surrounding him were a circle of burly men riding fire horses, each clutching a Poké Ball tightly in their hand, with the young master in the center.

It's incredibly ostentatious.

Upon seeing this scene, Kyosuke shook his head and then summoned Kaze.

I should go up the mountain myself.

Most people have some misconceptions about climbing snow-capped mountains, always thinking that as long as they bring a Fire-type Pokémon, they can overcome all difficulties.

Kyosuke once thought so too.

But after receiving a lesson from Professor Oak, Kyosuke realized that Ice-type Pokémon were truly in their element, just like Magikarp, compared to Fire-type.

Fire types are effective against ice types, but they cannot overcome ice in nature. In heavy snow, they are actually suppressed.

Ice-type Pokémon are actually better able to make the best judgments.

But most people here have Fire and Rock-type Pokémon; they're all enthusiasm, no brains.

Truly intelligent people don't get involved in these kinds of events. But they also lack passion.

But since he'd already set off on his own journey, what right did he have to laugh at others? Kyosuke was amused by his own words.

Maintaining a sufficient distance from the main force ahead, Kyosuke, carrying Kazesaku, followed behind, waiting in comfort.

The people ahead were moving very fast, and in just two hours, they had all entered the icy and snowy area.

But Kyosuke sensed something was off.

Looking towards the group of people in black, they indeed tightened their formation, and the person in the middle released their standard Flareon.

"She definitely has a special ability. Can she sense the weather, temperature, or something else?" Kyosuke was certain that the little girl possessed some kind of ability.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke released Ryuuji, since Dragonair can control the weather, and Dratini should have some ability as well.

When Long'er came out, she was not as lively as usual, and simply flew around Xiong Jie.

After exchanging words, Kyosuke understood.

In this snowy mountain, a powerful being interfered with Ryuu's senses, making him feel fear and want to return to his Poké Ball.

"You're the child I'm pinning my hopes on to inherit the legacy of Rayquaza, how can you not be a little stronger?" Kyosuke casually remarked, before taking Ryuu back.

However, it also confirmed that Articuno was up there.

He patted Fengshuang's head and laughed, "In the end, it's just the two of us."

Fengshuang: Actually, I also want to go back.

Fortunately, Kyosuke has a strong body. While other trainers summoned their Fire-type Pokémon to keep warm, he was able to withstand the cold and strong winds by using his equipment.

As the altitude increased, the wind speed also increased linearly. Kyosuke even saw trainers and their Pokémon flying overhead.

I hope he has a Flying-type Pokémon he can ride. Kyosuke silently added his blessing.

If you manage to escape the gale and summon a Flying-type Pokémon before crashing to the ground, you might survive. Otherwise, you'll just be a monument on a barren hill.

Every year, countless trainers go missing while exploring dangerous places. I don't know what happened to the others, but when Kyosuke decided to become a trainer, he was prepared to die in some unknown place someday.

Of course, not now. Right now, Kyosuke still has many things he has to do.

He took out a chocolate and an ice axe from his bag, handed one to Kazama, and kept one in his mouth. Kyosuke knew that when death began to appear, it was no longer a simple matter.

Kyosuke began to use his ice axe to carefully inspect each step before moving forward. Gradually, the light ahead grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared from sight.

This became a challenge for one person.

With no one or pet within sight, Kyosuke maintained peak physical condition and a confident demeanor.

Some people say they are not afraid of loneliness because loneliness keeps them company.

Kyosuke is not afraid of wind and frost, because wind and frost accompany him.
