Summary:
A Froslass scaring the locals in the mountains grabs Ash Ketchum and Pikachu's notice. But is the crunch what it seems?
"It's too bad Goh couldn't come, huh, Pikachu?"
Ash let Pikachu bolt into his coat where it was warm. Although Pikachu wasn't particularly bothered by the temperature where it currently hovered, he also didn't particularly welcome the ice chips getting stuck between his paws. Plus, in there, he could keep an effective eye out for Froslass, the Snow Land Pokémon they saw Officer Jenny warning residents about on TV.
The wind picked up. The chill around the Trainer and his buddy packed in and the scenery was induced a white so white their footprints faded and they couldn't see which direction they came in.
Out of this blinding snowfall, a grey shadow (visible!) stumbled towards them.
"Froslass! It must be her! Pikachu, get ready! Here she comes! Use Electroweb!"
The electric net Pikachu flung from his tail hit something in the fog of white, but it didn't sound like the cry of any Froslass Ash ever heard.
It almost sounded like…
"GOH?" Ash's expression could've been a Glalie's.
"Ash…Oh, what a r-relief! You got m-my calls! Rotom kept telling m-m-me I had no s-s-s-service!"
"Calls? What calls?" Ash scraped the ice off his friend's Delibird down jacket.
"You di-didn't receive my SOS to c-come and r-rescue us?"
"No. I thought you said you were spending vacation at home! What are you doing up here? Could it be you saw that news report and you're after Froslass too?" Ash, in his PokéMania, forgot for a second Goh was shivering blue and the snot dripping out of Grookey's drippy nose had frosted over.
"A F-F-Froslass? N-no, Ash!" Goh unconsciously exhaled a spiteful sigh. "W-we've been lost in the blizzard f-f-fuh three days! If it weren't f-fer Cinderace, we'd be goners!"
Three days? That's about the time the story on Froslass aired.
"Goh." Ash scrutinized Goh's feminine figure. "Don't tell me you're the Froslass everybody's been so anxious of!"
Fanta-stic! Just what Goh was praying for when he was exercising his limbs to not die! Someone buy that lifesaver Ash Ketchum an Oran Berry pop!
Goh gave Ash a Wake-Up Slap to the face, despite he himself being the one struggling to stay awake.
"Le-le-let's j-j-jus co!"
