Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

"Ouch, it's so cold..."

Xiao Guang curled up into a ball, burying his neck deep into the thick wool scarf, his breath forming tiny frost flowers on his eyelashes.

Almost instinctively, she leaned her whole body against Xiaoyun, not just a little, but pressed herself against her.

Xiaoyun naturally turned to the side, and the moment Xiaoguang leaned in, she pulled her right hand out of her pocket, grasped his slightly reddened hand, and then put it into her down jacket pocket.

"Your hands are so cold. Didn't I tell you to wear gloves before we left?"

Xiaoyun gently rubbed it in her pocket.

"Wearing gloves wouldn't keep me this warm..."

Xiao Guang muttered something under his breath, then moved closer to Xiao Yun.

The group had all changed back into thick, warm winter clothes.

Except for one newcomer from Pallet Town.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

Ash stood in the wind and snow, arms outstretched.

Pikachu stood on his shoulder, looking helpless, with the electric sacs on its cheeks flashing slightly.

"Pikachu!"

Zizi!

An electric current surged forth, instantly restoring Xiao Zhi to full health. He gave the others a thumbs-up:

"Yosh, now I'm not cold!"

Pikachu thought to itself, "I'm so annoyed."

Okay, okay, that really gave you a great electric shock.

"Would you like to try it too? It'll refresh your mind!"

"No thanks!"

They all instinctively moved away from Xiaozhi.

If you use 100,000 volts for warmth, are you still a carbon-based life form?

The temperature in the surrounding environment was constantly dropping, and wind and snow were blowing in our faces. When we breathed, we could see a faint mist appearing and then being blown away by the wind.

Ahead of the wind and snow, the outline of the city gradually came into view.

It was a true city of ice and snow.

The entire city is like a blue-white gem nestled in the embrace of the mountains, with almost all the roofs designed with steep slopes of more than 60 degrees to prevent the houses from collapsing under the weight of heavy snow.

Long icicles hang from the eaves, and some families have even hung small wind chimes on them, which make a clear tinkling sound when the wind blows.

"Wow! That's a sled pulled by an ivory pig!"

Serena pointed ahead with delight.

On the wide main street, several strong ivory pigs were pulling an exquisitely decorated sled.

Citizens, bundled up tightly, sat on the sleds, while some tourists took photos with curiosity.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also Glaceon's sleds and Geometric Snowflake's hoverboards that carry trainers at low altitudes.

"Wow, it's amazing! It's like a snow country from a fairy tale!"

Xiao Guang's eyes lit up, and he temporarily forgot about the cold.

A giant ice sculpture of the Blizzard King, ten meters high, stands tall in the central square.

It is said that an aurora projection show is held here every night, with technical support provided by Yingxue Dojo.

"Brother! This is so sparkly and pretty!"

Yulijia's excited voice came through.

Citron was studying the structure of the ice sculpture when he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and his voice suddenly rose:

"Yulijia! Don't bite! Your tongue will get stuck!!"

But it was too late. The little girl was tiptoeing towards an ice sculpture of an ice cream cone, and then...

"Wow!!"

Yulijia's eyes widened instantly. She tried to speak, but her tongue was firmly stuck to the ice, and she could only make muffled whimpering sounds. Her hands waved helplessly in the air.

Xiaoyun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Oh, you're quite the foodie.

Xiao Guang reacted quickly and immediately pulled out a bottle of warm water from the side pocket of his backpack, thus freeing Yulijia.

"Ugh... my tongue feels so cold..."

She covered her mouth with tears welling up in her eyes.

"That's why you shouldn't lick things indiscriminately!"

Hitron sighed in exasperation.

Ash looked at Pikachu thoughtfully and said, "Pikachu, why don't you give it a try?"

"Pikachu???"

After a brief hiccup, the group finally arrived at the Pokémon Center.

The Pokémon Center in Snowdrift City looks like a giant igloo on the outside, but it's warm and cozy inside.

Miss Joey's smile is warm:

"Welcome to Yingxue City! Please have a good rest; the hot springs here are very relaxing~"

After a good night's rest, the group headed to Yingxue Dojo early the next morning, full of energy.

The dojo is located on a hillside on the north side of the city. Its exterior resembles a giant iceberg, with a rugged and heavy architectural style, making it look like an ice and snow fortress.

Pushing open the heavy door, a scent mixed with the smell of ice and snow rushed out.

The dojo was more spacious than I had imagined, and the main battle arena was a huge ice field.

At that moment, the sounds of training could be heard coming from the side hall.

The group walked over and saw an older man instructing an apprentice.

The man was tall and broad-shouldered.

He wore a dark blue coat with a fur collar, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his sleeves were rolled up to reveal his strong forearms, a typical example of a pragmatic style.

Master Yingxue, you have been comforted!

"The essence of the freezing wind is not in exhaling, but in condensing! Let the cold air brew in your throat for a while, so that the icy mist you exhale will be denser and stronger!"

In front of him, an ice monster was puffing out its cheeks and then suddenly spewed out a cloud of icy mist.

This time the ice fog was indeed more condensed, forming brief ice crystal trails in the air.

"Yes! That's it! Remember this feeling! Next time in a real fight, freeze your opponent into an ice sculpture!"

Defu's laughter was loud and clear.

The apprentices looked at him with admiration: "Yes! We'll take care of Master Fu!"

At this moment, Defu noticed Xiaoyun and her group at the door, turned around, and waved heartily:

"Oh? A challenger has arrived? Welcome, welcome!"

"I am Gym Leader Defu. Judging from your attire, you've come to challenge the gym, right? Who wants to go first?"

Xiaoyun stepped forward and said politely:

"Hello, Dojo Master, I'm Inspector Xiaoyun. Besides the regular dojo assessment, I've also brought a few friends to experience it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Defu slapped Xiaoyun on the shoulder with such force that Xiaoyun almost stumbled.

Wow, is this person planning to eliminate him, the inspector, from the very beginning?

De Fu, completely unaware of the strength in his hand, laughed heartily:

"Haha, Xiaoyun, we've finally waited for you! It's an honor to play against the former tournament champion!"

He straightened up, crossed his arms, and exuded a heroic air:

"The trainers of Snowdrift City can get fired up even in a blizzard! No matter who the opponent is, I will fight with all my might."

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes shining: "Ah, uncle, you're so cool! I'm fired up!"

Serena bowed gracefully: "Master Defu, please guide me."

Dawn smiled and said, "I'm Dawn from the Sinnoh region, and I want to challenge the gym later."

Defu's gaze swept over the four people, and his smile widened:

"Good! Everyone's got spirit! I love young people with fighting spirit! So, who wants to go first?"

..........

Battlefield!

The venue is a standard circular ice surface, surrounded by protective railings.

Ash rarely displays such gentlemanly behavior, allowing Serena to be placed first.

An older apprentice, acting as referee, stepped to the center of the arena and announced: "The rules of the Snowfall Gym are 3-on-3. Challengers can freely switch Pokémon until one side's Pokémon are all unable to battle!"

"Challenger Serena faces off against Gym Leader Defu!"

"I choose you! Fiery Red Fox!"

Serena threw the Poké Ball with all her might, but she looked more and more like Ash.

boom!

A flash of red light, and the fiery red fox makes its appearance!

It holds a tree branch wand, the flames on which burn exceptionally brightly in the cold environment.

"A fire-attribute demon fire red fox is a good choice."

Defu nodded and sent out Bingbao, who had been training earlier.

Its round body and blue icy shell make it look cute, but its eyes are very focused.
