Chapter 49: Ice Adventures

Ash and Alice are walking at Route 16, as it is starting to snow. "Wow, it is going to be much colder in this area." Ash says.

"I know. But I like it." Alice says with a smile. "To me, Ice is wonderful magic. It is beautiful, with those sparkling surfaces and the dazzling feel, but they are powerful, as the freeze can hurt a person both physically and mentally."

"I can tell." Ash says with a laugh. Then they see some bunnies hopping around. "Wow, what is that?"

"That is a Bunnic. It is so cute." Alice says. "Even though I like Ice Types, but I think that I should capture all the Ice Type Pokemon in this place, don't you think?"

"Sure." Ash says. "Let's become stronger so we can have a battle that we can't forget."

Then Ash sends out Wingon to battle the Bunnic, but much to his surprise, it is a Fairy Type as it uses Play Rough on it. "Use Steel Wing!" Ash yells as the Wingon finally defeats the Pokemon and Ash captures it. But another Bunnic wants to be with the Bunnic Ash has captured, so she decides to join Alice's team and Alice names her Bunny.

Bunnic: The Bunny Pokemon: Normal and Fairy Type. Bunnic is a favorite among younger trainers due to its adorable appearance, especially its fluffy fur which it grew to adapt to the extreme climates of the tundra.

"So we should give them much love so that we can evolve them." Alice says.

"You seem to know a lot of Ice Type Pokemon, Alice." Ash says.

"Mr. Chiu taught me a lot since he was an Ice Type specialist." Alice says.

Wingon also evolves at the same time as it becomes stronger, Ash scans him to know some more.

Aerogon: The Winged Pokemon: Dragon and Flying Type. Evolved from Wingon at LV:43. Aerogon's wingspan is one of the widest in Rikoto. They can spread and retract their wings at will to control their flight speed.

And while training with the Moostrike, it has caught two Pokemon's attraction. Alice says, "That is Moofork. You know, their evolution are usually the ones who carried Santa's sled in Christmas."

"Wow, seriously? That's so cool." Ash says. Then the Moofork shows off the attacks that use the horn, and the two Pokemon are fond of it. So Ash and Alice capture the two Pokemon and Alice names her Moofork Rudolph.

Moofork: The Red Nose Pokemon: Ice and Normal Type. Moofork are a withdrawn society of Pokémon. As they keep to themselves on snowy mountains, only hikers would see them in more than a glimpse.

And the third Pokemon they encounter is a Pokemon that is friends with Alice's Husky. A Huskpup which is a male one. Pikachu and Lycanroc like to play with the puppy Pokemon as they play really high. Ash then captures the Pokemon.

Huskpup: The Husky Pokemoon: Ice Type. Huskpup lick each other to clean their fur, and because of this, they are used to having snow in their mouth. Snow cones are a favorite snack for them.

Alice's Husky starts to lick Ash's Huskpup as Ash's Huskpup licks back, Ash and Alice are happy at the sight that they are getting along so well. Then as they continue forward, Ash asks, "What is that cave?"

"That is the Crystal Cave, if we want to go to my city, we have to get through there." Alice says.

Then they see in front of the cave are two ice sculptures, and much to their shock, they are Ash and Alice. "Wow, who did this to us?" Alice is surprised.

Just then, two Pokemon pops out of the hole and one of them asks, "Did you like it?"

"We saw you guys when you were battling those Bunnic, so we use you as our model to carve these." The second one says.

"Thanks a lot, they look really good." Ash says as the two Pokemon want to travel with them. So Ash and Alice capture them and Alice named it Tun.

Molice: The Mole Pokemon: Steel and Ice Type. Molice carve through ice sheets for fun, though sometimes they can accidentally dig through houses in snow-covered villages.


But as they are going to Route 17, they see Rick again as he says, "Ah...what's going on weakling? On your way to Sario Town, huh? I can tell you there is nothing special...a really boring place! I've wasted my time visiting it...How about a battle? You still behind me on your journey, so you shouldn't be a problem for me, ha!"

Ash just glares at him as he uses Gaslit to defeat his Mystablet, Hypnosmog to defeat Toxitoad, Eqwater to defeat Natoron, Dinopion to defeat his Stegasteel, Rexite to defeat Casspring, and finally Sylveon to defeat Dinopion.

"Hmph...never mind, my Pokemon are exhausted after the unnecessary tour to Sario Town...Don't think you win means something! I'm going to Crystal Cave now you better put on warm clothes for this, ha! Catch you later, loser!" Then he leaves. Alice says, "He sure is annoying."

"But the reason that stops me from using Thunderbolt on him is because of his family." Ash says while still regaining his composure as they continue on Route 17.

On the new route, they find a bug Pokemon that is called Crysilla. But Crysilla sees Ash and he hugs him, much to Ash's surprise. "Wow, did I know you?"

The Pokemon then push Ash's head on his, Ash realizes the same action as he asks, "Leavanny? Is that you?"

The Pokemon nods as Alice says, "No way, this Crysilla was yours? It is a special Pokemon and I liked it a lot."

"Yeah, wow. I can't believe that I found you." Ash says as he looks at the Pokemon. "Maybe you are close to evolving, how about we help you out?" Ash asks as he nods. Then Ash decides to help the Pokemon as they keep training and taking care. Crysilla then evolves into a cocoon-like Pokemon. So Ash recaptures him so that they can train even further.

Crysilla: The Clear Barb Pokemon: Bug and Ice Type. Crysilla only live in areas where temperature low enough for humans to get frostbite. The ice shards on their body melt into puddles every summer.

Cryscoon: The Clear Shell Pokemon: Bug and Ice Type. Evolved from Crysilla at LV:42. Cryscoon's body was once believed to be composed entirely of ice crystals. Any light that is directed at the Pokémon would be reflected cleanly.

"I remember that when Leavanny finds a small Pokémon it makes clothing for it with its arm cutters, using leaves and sticky silk." Alice says, "But it becomes a Cryscoon, that is really cool, right? Ash?" But she turns around and sees that Ash is frozen in ice while a Snolow is laughing behind him. "Oh no, Ash!"

Ash immediately thwart out of the ice and says, "Why did you do it? You Snolow!"

The Snolow says, "Since it has been a while." Ash flinches as he says, "Don't tell me you were my Glalie, I knew that only Glalie would use that one me..."

"Glalie? I remember it is an Ice Type Pokemon from Hoenn..." Alice says with a gasp. "Glalie protects itself by creating ice armor from airborne moisture."

"Yeah, it is also a prankster as well." Ash sighs as he captures the Pokemon.

Snolow: The Snowball Pokemon: Ice and Ghost Type. Snowlow roll around in the snow to make themselves larger, but sometimes a few of them would roll up too much snow that they couldn't support their own weight.

And then Alice sends out her Snower so that the two of them can get acquainted, and then they also train together as they also evolve while almost going out of the route.

Snowrong: The Snowman Pokemon: Ice and Ghost Type. Evovled from Snolow at LV:43. Snowrong are possessed snowmen that form during winter. When summer comes, their bodies melt, and the soul within searches for another body.

"So my Glalie is now a snowman, huh? I wonder why Gina has to do that..." Ash sighs. "But come to think of it, now my Hoenn Team is also reunited."

"You're right. So now that leaves what Pokemon left?" Alice asks.

"Well...the only one that is still missing is Noctowl." Ash says, "He may be in these areas, but I don't know where."

Alice nods as they enter Sario Town. Only to see Rodney talking to Professor Pine. Ash asks, "What are you doing here?"

Rodney says, "I guess the entrance to Crystal Cave isn't cleared yet hopefully it will be soon, I wanna get to my next gym battle with Alice."

"I know." Alice sighs.

"Anyways, Professor Pinewood is here with his assistants, apparently he has some new information to tell us!" Rodney says.

"Yes I do, we were doing more research on the legend of Solaran and Lunaro and it leads us here, this is the location where Solaran and Lunaro were sealed away..."

"What? You mean, here, in Sario Town?" Ash asks.

"Yes, right here, see those stones in the center of the town? They're just decorations, this is the, I guess you can say, 'machine', that opened the portal that sealed them in!"

"Wow, but how does it work?" Alice asks.

"The five pillars around the center seem to be where the Elemental Stones need to be placed for the gate to be opened. But only if all 5 stones are placed in the correct order, so without all the stones, the gate can't be opened..."

"But Ash has the three stones, so there's no way either of the Teams will open it!" But Ash feels that they are watched as he leaves, much to their confusion. But then he grabs a lass and says, "Where do you think you are going?"

Alice asks, "Ash, what's going on?"

"This is a spy of Team Solar." Ash says, much to their shock. "Well done, Rodney, you and your big mouth."

"What? I don't know..." Rodney says.

"Now did you hear anything we said?" Ash asks the grunt with malice, then the grunt just nods in fear, "Where were your commanders? Are they here?"

"No..." The grunt says. "They are at the Sea Temple..."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Then he knocks her out as well as wiping out her memory with the power of aura. Rodney asks, "What did you do?"

"I wiped out her memory of our talking since we can't let any one of the grunts know." Ash says. "But we have to go to the Sea Temple since Team Solar is there."

"But we don't know where it is when we get to Rainbow Reef, and it is because of your brother that we have the Sea Stone." Alice says.

"In fact, the temple is actually underwater." Pinewood says as they are surprised. "As far as we know, Team Solar and Team Lunar don't know where it is located, so we have the advantage."

"Okay, and I have to find help from Searine if we need to stop them." Ash says as they nod. "But what should we do with this spy?"

But then much to Alice's horror, she sees that there is an eavesdropper on the skirt and she says, "Crap, there is an eavesdropper."

"Then we have to destroy it as fast as possible." Rodney says as he calls Salaslam to destroy it. Then Ash and the group decide to go to the Rainbow Reef with the Flying Service, and then the Professor also gives them the Snorkel, then they quickly head to the place. "Let's go, we are going together." Rodney says as they nod.


Here is a new chapter, and Ash almost has all his team back, now that they are going to the Sea Temple to stop Team Solar, will they succeed or will they get away?

New Pokemon: Bunnic, Aerogon, Moofork, Huskpup, Molice, Cryscoon (Leavanny), Snowrong (Glalie)
