How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

"Weren't there four elves fighting the attacker? Aside from the runaway messenger bird, why are there only you and the tundra bear here? Where is the ice rock monster?"

After listening to Glaceon's story, Fang Ci once again glanced at the Pokémon lying in the cave, but found no trace of the Ice Monster.

Hearing Fang Ci's question, Glaceon shook his head slightly. It had just woken up and had no idea where the Ice Rock Monster was. But at this moment, Diancie on the side interrupted and said:

"Fang Ci, we actually encountered the Ice Rock Monster on the way back, but it was too heavy for Zoroark and I to move. Moreover, when we encountered it, the Ice Rock Monster had recovered some of its strength and woke up, so it asked Zoroark and I to rescue other elves first. It said that it could survive the snowstorm on its own and asked us to leave it alone."

"I see." Fang Ci nodded, then looked at Glaceon and asked, "Glaceon, do you know of any ruins or ancient tombs nearby? If our guess is correct, the attacker should be hiding there."

Hearing Fang Ci's question, Ice Eevee's face showed a thoughtful look, but soon its eyes lit up as if it had thought of something.

"Eevee~!"

After hearing what Glaceon said, Diancie's eyes lit up and she immediately said to Fang Ci excitedly, "Fang Ci, Glaceon said that there is indeed a large ruin in the west of this snowy plain, but that place has always been the territory of the Bronze Bells. The ice elves on the snowy plain have never been close to it, so they don't know the specific situation there."

"Ibrahimovic~"

Glaceon's eyes sparkled with excitement, and it turned to Diancie eagerly, as if every hair was conveying an urgent message. Diancie immediately caught the eagerness, and her eyes also sparkled with the same light, and then she quickly and clearly conveyed Glaceon's meaning to Fang Ci.

"Fang Ci, Glaceon just thought of a crucial clue!" Diancie's voice was filled with excitement. "It said that although it knows very little about the ruins, there is a Pokémon on this snowy plain that can definitely provide us with detailed information - that is the Messenger Bird that cleverly escaped from the attack of the 'Devil' today."

"Messenger Bird?" Fang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity and expectation in his eyes. "I've heard of this kind of Pokémon. They are known for their agility and wit, and they are extremely curious, always exploring everywhere. If it's true as Glaceon said, then the Messenger Bird may indeed hold valuable information about the ruins."

Diancie nodded and continued, "Not only that, the Messenger Bird also has a unique advantage. As the only Pokémon that remained awake in today's melee, it is very likely that it witnessed the true face of the 'devil' with its own eyes. This will be of immeasurable value to us in tracking down the attacker and uncovering his true identity."

"In this case, we must find the messenger bird as soon as possible." Fang Ci's tone was full of determination, "It is not only the key to the ruins, but also an important clue for us to uncover the truth."

"Ibrahimovic~"

After hearing what Fang Ci said, Ice Eevee immediately volunteered. As a good friend of the Messenger Bird, it knew where the Messenger Bird was now.

"No rush. The snow and wind outside are too strong right now. Let's wait until it's lighter tomorrow before we take action. Ice Eevee, you should have a good rest tonight. We are counting on you to lead us to find the Messenger Bird tomorrow." Seeing Ice Eevee staggering out, Fang Ci hurriedly stopped it.

"Besides," Fang Ci's voice became softer and contained a hint of encouragement, "your mission is very important. You are the key to our finding the messenger bird. If you get injured by the snowstorm now, tomorrow's search will become more difficult. So, you should have a good rest tonight and recharge your energy. We will set off early tomorrow morning, okay?"

Ice Eevee seemed to understand Fang Ci's words. It stopped, looked up at the raging snow outside, and then looked down at Fang Ci's caring eyes. Finally, it nodded slowly and made a low and satisfied "Eevee~" sound, as if agreeing to Fang Ci's request.

Seeing that Glaceon had finally calmed down, Fang Ci breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Diancie and said, "Diancie, you should also go and rest. We all need to be fully prepared for tomorrow's challenge."

"Okay." Hearing this, Diancie nodded happily, then lay down next to the Ice Eevee that had just fallen down.

Seeing this, Fang Ci used the flickering firelight to look at the elves in the cave whose energy had been taken away. If it initially tracked the "devil" that took away the energy of others just to avenge the Ice Dragon and find a chance for Zoroark to break through, now looking at these weak little faces, Fang Ci felt the courage on his shoulders got heavier.

If that guy isn't stopped soon, there will be more and more victims like this.

The firelight flickered in the cave, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of warmth to the dark space, but also reflecting the mess and exhaustion around it. Fang Ci's eyes slowly swept over the elves lying on the ground. They were either curled up or lying powerlessly. The light in their eyes had lost its former brilliance, leaving only deep exhaustion and helplessness.

Each weak little face seemed to be silently telling the fear and pain they had experienced, which made Fang Ci's heart sink. At first, he embarked on this tracking journey just to avenge the Ice Dragon and for Zoroark to find an opportunity to break through his own limits. However, at this moment, when he witnessed the suffering of these innocent elves, his state of mind changed subtly.

An unprecedented sense of responsibility arose spontaneously, as if an invisible force was pushing him, making him realize that he could not and should not act just for personal purposes. The fate of these elves was now closely linked to him, and he had to stand up and fight for a safer and more peaceful living environment for them.

"If I can't stop that guy sooner," Fang Ci swore secretly in his heart, "there will be more and more victims like this, and innocent lives will continue to tremble in fear. I can't let such tragedies continue to happen."

This determination is as firm as a rock, making Fang Ci's eyes sharper and more resolute. He knows that the road ahead will be full of unknowns and challenges, but he is no longer afraid. For the sake of these elves, for justice and peace, he will move forward bravely until he completely defeats the "devil" that has taken away the energy of others.

Inside the cave, the air was heavy and humid, and the flickering firelight brought an unstable warmth to the dark space. The rocks on the cave walls were uneven, eroded by time, and every stone seemed to be telling an ancient story. It was quiet and silent, with only the occasional sound of dripping water and the faint breathing of the elves in the distance breaking the silence. The cave was filled with a faint smell of mold and the aroma of herbs, which was the smell of long-term closure and tenacious vitality.

Outside the cave, it was a completely different scene. The wind was howling and snowing, as if it was going to drag everything into the endless darkness. Snowflakes were like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting through the air, and each one carried the cold and killing of winter. The mountains in the distance were covered with snow, and the scenery was beautiful, but beneath this beauty lay the biting cold and danger. The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if even the moonlight was afraid of the majesty of winter and dared not easily show a smile.

Night, like a deep painter, quietly completed its masterpiece in the howling cold wind and raging blizzard, and then quietly retreated. When the first long-lost ray of sunlight, like a shy girl, shyly but firmly penetrated the heavy clouds, and finally passed through the narrow hole and gently brushed Fang Ci's face, the warmth was like a gentle fingertips, gently plucking the sleeping heartstrings, gently waking him up from the deep and warm dream.

Fang Ci slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was no longer the haziness and illusion in his dream, but the clear and bright scene of the real world. He took a deep breath and felt the freshness and chill in the air. It was the unique freshness after the snowstorm, which refreshed his spirits. He sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked around, and found that the cave had quietly changed.

The snowstorm, the beast that had raged all night and tried to devour everything, had quietly retreated, as if it had never existed. Outside the cave, the snow that had originally piled up like a mountain had been blown away by the wind, revealing the snow-covered ground and the outline of the mountains looming in the distance. The sun shone through the clouds and fell on the snow, flashing a dazzling light, which was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.

Yuan Zengyuan and Zoroark, the two loyal companions, had long since woken up from their deep sleep. They used their own strength to move the ice door blocking the cave entrance, as if to welcome the arrival of a new day. As the ice door was moved away, more sunlight poured into the cave, dispelling the dampness and coldness in the cave, and bringing long-lost warmth and light.

As the first rays of morning light gradually filled the entire cave, the sleeping elves seemed to be caressed by the warm sunlight and gradually woke up from their dreams. Their eyelids began to tremble slightly, like newly blossomed petals, slowly opening under the morning light. One by one, the elves gradually regained consciousness, their eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown environment and a hint of subtle tension.

Waking up in this strange environment, the Pokémons' instinctive reaction was alertness and uneasiness. They looked around, trying to find familiar figures or voices to calm their inner fears. At this moment, Glaceon quickly noticed the change in the Pokémons' emotions. It shuttled lightly among the Pokémons, explaining the current situation to everyone in its gentle but firm voice, telling them that this was a safe haven, not a scary place.

After hearing Glaceon's explanation, the elves' nervousness gradually eased, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and began to communicate their feelings and doubts to each other in their own ways. Glaceon also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After calming down all the panicked Pokémon, Glaceon turned around and came to Fang Ci. After a night's rest, its condition was obviously much better than last night, and its big eyes were shining brighter, as if containing infinite power and wisdom.

"In that case, let's set off quickly to find the Messenger Bird. Otherwise, if the weather changes again later, our plan will be delayed again." Seeing that Glaceon and everyone else were ready, Fang Ci put on his backpack and said loudly.

"Tundra Bear, please stay and take care of these little guys!"

"Tundra~" The Ice Dragon, who already knew the whole story, patted his thick chest heavily, as if to say, leave it to me.

Seeing this, Fang Ci was relieved and waved goodbye to the elves in the cave one by one. The warmth and reluctance flowed slowly in the air. The elves either flapped their wings or gently wagged their tails, expressing their reluctance and blessings to Fang Ci and Glaceon in their own unique way. Fang Ci responded with a smile, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Afterwards, Fang Ci and Glaceon set out on a journey to find the Messenger Bird. The moment they walked out of the cave, the sight before them made them stop in their tracks. After the blizzard last night, the world outside the cave had taken on a whole new look. The thickness of the snow had almost doubled, and it was all white, as if they were in a fairy tale world covered in silver. However, this beauty also concealed dangers and inconveniences, and the thick snow made it extremely difficult to move forward.

Glaceon's small stature looked particularly insignificant in the vast sea of ​​snow. It tried to step into the snow, but was immediately buried in the snow, which made it very difficult. Seeing this, Flamehorse stepped forward without hesitation. It was burning with blazing flames, which jumped in the cold air, emitting a warm and dazzling light. Flamehorse walked to the front of the team with firm steps, using its strong body and blazing flames to open up a path for everyone to pass through.

As the Flame Horse moved forward, the snow melted quickly, revealing a clearly visible trail. This trail meandered forward on the snow, leading them to the unknown ahead. Fang Ci, Glaceon, and other elves followed closely behind the Flame Horse, stepping on this road paved with fire and courage, moving forward step by step.

Originally Fang Ci was worried that Ice Eevee would get lost in this environment where everything was white, but Ice Eevee soon slapped Fang Ci in the face with his actions.

In order to see more clearly, Glaceon simply stood on the back of Flamehorse, directing Flamehorse to take firm steps towards the destination, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.

As elves born and raised on the snow-capped mountains, it has long been their instinct to identify the environment in this environment. Just like fish living in the sea are born to swim, the elves on the snow-capped mountains never worry about getting lost in this white world.
