A/N: You know something Pulse? I actually haven't built a snowman in a very long time. This has been a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Pulse: ...

DrPhill26: Hey, is something wrong? You've been fairly quiet for a while now.

Pulse: I am worried about Miss Wendy. The sun has already set but she and Sir Tyler have not returned yet.

DrPhill26: Well you do have a point, it is pretty late. But I bet those two just lost track of time, or maybe Wendy took Tyler out to dinner or something.

Pulse: I wish I could be as confident as you. But I can sense my master is worried about something and that makes me nervous as well.

Wendy: There you two are! Pulse please run inside, get Nurse Joy and grab Tess for me.

Pulse: Right away master.

DrPhill26: Wait a sec, Wendy what's going on? Where's Tyler?

Wendy: I'm afraid there's been an accident, Tyler's been hurt.

DrPhill26: What do you mean by accident? What happened? Where is he?

Tyler's head was ringing; his body shivered and ached as he regained consciousness. He tried to stand up, but quickly threw his hand against his head as the world began spinning around him. He felt sick and fought through the urge to vomit, gagging as his hand held back his wretch. His vision returned for a moment while he focused on his hand. The glove he was wearing was still connected to his mouth by a few strands of saliva and looked quite beat up. But as he squeezed his hand into a fist, it looked and felt like his hands were okay. Tyler gave standing another try and using his knees to brace himself he succeeded, although they felt wobbly underneath him. Examining the rest of his body gingerly he found his left arm was bathed in excruciating pain whenever he tried to move it, and was equally sensitive to touch, his back was also numb to the touch and whenever he tried to move his head even slightly he felt dizzy.

"Goddamn this hurts." Tyler said aloud grimacing through pain as another wave of nausea struck him. His vision briefly blurred black again as he fell to a knee. Looking around, Tyler shook his head as he tried desperately to regain his focus. He couldn't make out any shapes or even the outlines of nearby objects. All that he could see was the color black and a blurring sheet of white specs floating across his vision. That was enough to tell Tyler it was night time, and that he was most likely caught outside in a snowstorm. "Ugh, I must really be out of it." He thought as a wave of stars came across his vision.

"Vee! Eevee! Ee-vee!" A voice came to Tyler's thoughts. It was scrambled and out of focus amidst the ringing in his ears, but it sounded like his Eevee was calling to him.

"That's right." Tyler remembered as a gust of wind kicked up more powdery snow in his direction. "I was out playing with Wendy and Eevee in the snow earlier. I guess we really lost track of time."

"Vee!" The voice was clearer amidst the ringing and was followed by a growl that Tyler could feel had a level of pain carried with it.

"Hey Eevee? Where are you? Are you buried in another snow bank?" Something hit Tyler in the chest knocking him down in a heap. The impact with the ground jarred him back to his senses as he noticed his vision had come back in full. He could now confirm he had gotten caught outside in a nighttime blizzard. But looking down in his lap he saw his Eevee, who must have just knocked him over, and he saw that she was visibly injured. Her body was covered in small cuts and her fur was matted red in places, with small red tinted icicles hanging off her fur. He took off his glove and touched Eevee's body trying to be gentle but still she cried out in pain when he did. Not only was she cold to the touch but when he looked down at his hand he saw it had splotches of blood where he'd touched her.

"Oh my God Eevee! What's going on? What happened to you?" Tyler asked desperately. He looked up and saw a short, dark outline with menacing red eyes staring at him that matched the color of feather like protrusions off its body.

"The hell is that thing?" Eevee stood off Tyler's lap and a fired off a volley of yellow star-shaped projectiles in the direction of the figure before them. "That was Swift… Are you defending me from that thing?"

"Eevee!" She barked back at him, scolding him for not being attentive.

"Right, we need to figure out what's going on." Tyler reached into one of his jacket pockets finding his P*DA that luckily had avoided being damaged. He held it up pointing at the creature as it leapt into the air diving towards Eevee, who dodged the attack but only just. The device responded quickly, loading information about what it had seen.

"So that's a Sneasel huh? A Dark and Ice type that's known for being… extremely vicious and won't stop attacking until its foe can't move?!" Tyler's voice became panicked the more he read in the entry. "This is not good. I need to call Eevee back before something really bad happens to her." He reached for his trainer belt but couldn't find it around his waist.

"What!? Oh you've got to be shitting me! It must have fallen off in the snow. God dammit!" Eevee was still trying desperately to dodge the Sneasel's claws as it continued to relentlessly pursue the poor Eevee. Now he didn't have a choice. He knew that Eevee wasn't going to be able to fight off the Sneasel by herself, and since he had no other Pokémon with him, he'd have to fight. But if he was going to get involved, Tyler needed a strategy.

"Eevee, use Double Team!" Copies of Eevee quickly surrounded the Sneasel who had been bullying her earlier. The wild Pokémon became startled at the new number of opponents before him, looking back and forth with confusion on his face.

"That's a good place to start." Tyler thought looking around for some sort of makeshift weapon. About all he was going to find in the middle of a forest would be a tree branch he could use as a club. He saw a good sized branch that was hanging low off a nearby pine tree that was about to fall. With a limp in his step, he jogged over to the tree, grabbed the branch in stride and bent the branch up against the tree with a snap. It broke off, but was still a bit too heavy to use effectively as a club. A glancing look back over his shoulder at the action showed the Sneasel deftly weaving through the snow, targeting the clones of Eevee individually, and it had taken out a few of them.

"I've got to hurry." Tyler thought eyeing what he thought was a decent length and stepping with all the weight he could muster on it. The branch snapped again now at a length more resembling a club with a jagged point at the end of it. It felt right in his hands; now he could join the fight.

"Okay now, distract him with Quick Attack!" The individual Double Team clones that were left charged towards the Sneasel along with the real Eevee, disorienting Sneasel as he braced for impacts that dissipated as they hit him. The real Eevee made repeated blows to the Sneasel's blind spots causing it to lose his focus amidst the barrage.

"Now use Swift on the ground around him!" Tyler said beginning to charge into battle himself. He ran as best he could, settling into a sort of a half running limp with the club in hand while Eevee jumped up and launched a shower of yellow stars at the Sneasel. Some stars made contact, but most collided with the ground and kicked up a cloud of snowdust. The Sneasel became unable to see anything as Tyler raised the club above his head. With a cry he swung it down in an arc like a golf club smashing it against the wild Pokémon's body. The club broke half way down, exploding into wooden splinters as the Sneasel flew backwards landing face down a few feet away.

"That's what you fucking get asshole!" Tyler yelled back at the injured Pokémon. "You mess with my Pokémon; you have to deal with me!"

"Vee! Eevee!" Eevee barked angrily at the downed Sneasel as it tried to get to its feet.

"Put this bastard out of our misery! Use Return!" Eevee's body sparkled white as she ran towards the struggling to stand Sneasel. She leapt into the air as the Pokémon stood up in time to see her collide into his chest, knocking him back with a few more flips and rolls until he came to a stop beneath a pine tree. Tyler and his Eevee stood there in the snow a while, trying to catch their respective breaths as they observed the wild Sneasel lay in the snow unresponsive. After a few drawn out moments, they both dropped their guards as they saw their adversary continued to lay motionless. Eevee however was equally unable to move anymore and she fell over as well.

"Hang on Eevee! I'll get you out of here!" Tyler said scooping up his injured Pokémon. She had gotten even colder to the touch and he desperately wished he had her Poké ball on hand to retreat her to. At least he still had his backpack on him and thank God he did. Kneeling down next to her, he unzipped the backpack and took one of the Super Potions he'd purchased back in Phenac City and removed the cap on the spray nozzle. He held her in his arms and sprayed the misty medicine over her where the cuts were most severe. She cried in pain as the spray started taking effect.

"I know Eevee, I know it stings but it's for your own good." Tyler gently scratched beneath Eevee's neck trying to make her feel better while continuing to spray the potion. It helped slightly as she cried a little less in her trainer's reassuring embrace. Once he'd sprayed the bottle empty Tyler turned his attention to keeping her warm. He unzipped the hood off his jacket and wrapped the Eevee in it, swaddling her with its warmth. Once she was snugly wrapped up in the layered hood, Tyler could focus on getting the two of them out of the elements. His first instinct was to call for help, but taking his phone out of his pocket only revealed disappointment as not only did he have no service bars, but his battery was low and probably wouldn't even last two minutes if he did get through.

"Figures, right when I need it to work the most the piece of shit doesn't. Why do I even have a phone if not for this exact reason?" Tyler groaned as he put the phone back in his pocket. Plan B was to check the P*DA's map feature and upon looking at it he saw he was still stuck in Route 217 a good ways out of Snowpoint City. There was no way he was going to be able to walk all the way there in this storm. He needed to find the hovercraft, but Tyler couldn't see it anywhere.

"And of course it's missing! Can this seriously get any worse? Like I don't know, maybe a random bolt of lightning strikes a tree and it catches fire before falling and trapping me here. Or if we're being cliché, how about I just say well, at least it can't get any worse than this and then it starts raining… except you know; a blizzard is far fucking worse than a bunch of rain!" As Tyler yelled his frustrations, his Eevee let out another cry of pain, snapping Tyler out of his rant and reminding him that she needed medical attention badly.

"Dammit I don't have time to argue with myself. Calm the fuck down and focus Tyler. Eevee is depending on you." Scanning the area around him desperately searching for a landmark of some sort, he saw off in the distance the bend that he'd turned on just before the wreck. Using that as a frame of reference, Tyler began reconstructing the crash as best he could in an attempt to find it.

"Okay, there's the turn we went around… and about there is where that thing that attacked us was. I think we crashed right here, and I woke up somewhere over by that tree. So it should be…*Gasp* there!" Finally some good luck for a change. He'd spotted an unusual shaped mound of snow and ran over to it digging into the pile with his hands. But the hovercraft wasn't beneath the strangely shaped pile leading Tyler to resume his rant from before. "God fucking dammit! This would be a lot easier if I wasn't in a fucking blizzard and had another set of eyes to help me look for it… Oh shit, Wendy!" Tyler's heart stopped as he looked around for his friend, but she was as equally absent amidst the drifting snow as the hovercraft was.

"Wendy! Where are you!?" He called out repeatedly against the howling wind to no response. He frantically scanned the area around him trying to find any sign of her. But all he could see was the blackness of night, the white of the billowing snow and occasionally a taunting group of green pine needles.

"Why did I open my fucking mouth? I just said it couldn't possibly get worse and now Wendy's missing too!"A fierce gust of wind made Tyler brace himself against it in an effort to shield him and Eevee further from the elements. When he looked up again he thought he saw something sparkling in the distance. Squinting at it, he started walking towards it, stepping into the cover of the forest. Here where the snow wasn't as intense he looked harder and still thought he saw a light.

"Is that you Wendy?" Tyler yelled towards the light, thinking it could have been her Ampharos. "Please actually be you. I don't want to go completely crazy just yet." Hope warmed his body as he struggled through the tree cover making his way closer to the light. As he started moving again, Eevee started moving in his arms and let out a cry forcing Tyler to stop.

"Oh I'm sorry. Am I holding you too tightly?" Tyler's concern was written over his face. Eevee looked up at her trainer with one eye still shut and mewed at him. "Are you worried about me?"

"Ee-vee?" She said with her own concern showing through the wavering in her voice.

"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm fine." Tyler lied as the pain in his arm had redoubled once again. "We'll be safe soon. See? That light over there is Wendy." Eevee turned her head towards where Tyler was pointing as she too saw the sparkling light just behind the trees in front of them.

"We get to her, and she can take us someplace safe, where we can warm up by a fire with a blanket and some hot cocoa and some marshmallows. Maybe even a dollop of whipped cream on top. Does that sound good or what?" Tyler's reassurances and weak laughter appeared to calm her down somewhat as the little puffball became less restless in his arms. He kept walking, using some of the trees as a brace to prevent him from slipping. A clearing began to come into focus as the light got brighter and he neared the edge of the tree line.

A few more steps on his part and he was in the clearing, but Wendy wasn't there. It was completely barren except for a large patch of ice that covered the ground and encircled the clearing. In the center was the source of the light, not Wendy's Ampharos as Tyler had hoped, or someone with a flashlight like he'd wanted, but instead it was a large ice crystal jutting out of the ground. Smaller ice crystals poked out of the ground around it as well but they weren't nearly as impressive as the main one. The moonlight overhead shone down on the altar of ice, which radiated a sparkling light that Tyler figured must have been what guided him to it. It looked pretty, beautiful even, but it was of absolutely no help to him whatsoever.

"I should have known." Tyler sighed loudly, resigning himself to the fact that he and his Eevee were on their own in this wintery hell. "Well, I guess as long as I'm here I may as well get me a walking stick." It wasn't as easy this time as it was to make the club, but he did spot a pile of fallen branches on the other side of the ice. Tyler frowned as he made his way over to the edge of the ice having to walk carefully across it while trying his best not to slip. He did fall to a knee a couple times but never dropped the Eevee, who had become very quiet since Tyler had pointed out the light earlier.

"I'll be back in a second Eevee. Be a good girl and stay here, okay?" Tyler said placing Eevee and her carrying hood down in the snow as he walked over to the sticks. There were actually quite a few to choose from as he got there. It seemed they were leftovers from a fallen tree at some point. Tyler pulled at the sticks trying to find one about his height in length, tossing away those that were unsatisfactory. After a minute or two of searching he found one about as wide around as his arm and was roughly 10 feet long and pulled it out from the pile. Angling it against what was left of the pile, he eyeballed a little more than half of that and stepped down with his heel. The cracking sound the branch made briefly brought a smile to his face again as he stood against it.

"This will do nicely. I think I'll call you Splinter, maybe splints for short." He thought turning back around and poking it into the ground twice. The stick bounced firmly off the ground further adding to Tyler's confidence in it. It was going to be difficult holding both the stick and his Eevee with only one arm but he had an idea on how to pull that off. With his new companion, Tyler turned back towards where he'd left his Pokémon nestled in his hood, only to find the hood empty and his Eevee walking across the ice rink towards the central crystal.

"Dammit Eevee, I told you to stay put. You're hurt; you shouldn't just wander around like that." Tyler complained as he walked quickly towards the ice. But for whatever reason Eevee didn't listen. She kept looking up at the crystal, which was refracting light in hues of white, orange and blue everywhere. From his angle it almost looked like she was entranced by its beauty. Even as she struggled against the ice the little Eevee seemed determined to reach her goal. The closer she got to it, the more Tyler began feeling something in the air around him. Not the chilliness of the wind that had plagued them this evening; this was more of a heavy stillness that had an aura of importance to it. Now Eevee stood next to the central pillar of ice and looked back at her trainer who still stood at the edge of the plateau, supported by his walking stick.

"Eevee? Vee-Eevee?" She seemed to be asking Tyler for something with what looked like a serious expression on her face. She must have really wanted to touch the ice crystal. Tyler just rolled his eyes as he looked at his spoiled princess.

"If that's what you want princess, then go right ahead." The sarcasm in Tyler's voice was thick but he was willing to humor her for a moment.

"Eevee – Vee!" She happily mewed back at her trainer as Tyler could make out a tear in her eye. He wasn't sure how he knew it was a tear and not a melted snowflake, but somehow he just knew. Eevee turned around and looked at the crystal that shone beautifully with the moon directly above it. Tyler thought she looked incredibly cute reaching out with her paw at the crystal, hanging it there tentatively for a moment before finally touching it.

The entire crystal sparkled with prismatic light as Eevee's paw made contact with it. Tyler stood back and watched the fairy tale like scene unfold. The light began to dance and intensify as it bathed her in its radiance. Then Eevee too began glowing much to Tyler's surprise. He stood awestruck as both Eevee and the crystal continued to shine brighter in the twilight of night until they both shone pure white like the falling snow, illuminating the clearing around them. That's when he noticed something was happening to Eevee's body. Everything about her appeared to be getting longer and taller, taking a sleeker and more refined shape, replacing the fluffiness she had originally.

"Wait a minute…" Tyler said aloud finally realizing what was happening. "Is Eevee evolving?" As if on cue the white light radiating from Eevee and the crystal scattered, leaving sparkling orbs of white energy in the sky above them. As they too danced along the winds much like the falling snow around them, Tyler's Pokémon stood alone in the middle of the crystal altar shining beautifully with a sparkling aura of diamond dust around her.

"Glaceon!" Tyler's Pokémon triumphantly and excitedly cried out her new name, smiling at her trainer who had fallen to his knees overcome with emotion.

"Oh my God…You're beautiful!" Tyler could feel himself becoming choked up as he looked at his Pokémon's new form. Beautiful really was the only word that could describe her. The fur of her main body was now a light shade of blue, matching the same color of the ice she was now confidently strutting across as she walked back to Tyler. She sat down in front of her trainer still smiling as he took in all of her magnificence. The fur on her legs was a different shade of blue from her body, more of an oceanic blue that complimented her lighter blue body wonderfully. That same shade of blue was on the tip of her tail as well, now diamond shaped compared to its fluffier predecessor. Her ears also had a thinner diamond shape to them as did the tips of an almost hat like patch of thicker sky blue colored fur on her forehead that looked like a tuque with two floppy diamond shaped protrusions hanging off it that went almost half way down her front legs. Looking into her eyes, Tyler was hypnotized at just how pure his princess' new form looked.

"Glae-ceon!" The newly evolved Pokémon kept smiling as her tail lazily swished back and forth for a moment before leaping at Tyler, knocking him into the snow. She lightly pressed her paws against Tyler's chest as she bent closer to Tyler's face and kissed it repeatedly.

"Hey, cut it out! Stop it! That tickles!" Tyler started laughing as the former Eevee kept at her affectionate display. Physically, he could feel a slight coldness to her breath and wherever her kisses touched his face. But beneath it there was a playful warmness to his Pokémon's actions that felt made Tyler briefly forget about the cold around him.

"Glacie!" His Pokémon's happiness was quickly infecting Tyler as he wrapped his arms around her giving her a hug and joyfully laughing even more. He took off one of his gloves and touched her fur directly with his hand. It was smooth and had an ice like sheen to it, but still had a snow like softness as well. The Glaceon's eyes sparkled like her body did as Tyler pet her back. He also seemed to notice that since she'd evolved all the cuts and scrapes that were on her body appeared to have vanished. For the most part, she looked to be relatively healed after her evolution, which brought a relieved smile to Tyler's face as he tightened his hug.

After a while, she wiggled out of her master's arms and sat cutely before him with her tail swishing back and forth. While she did, an old memory came back to Tyler from when he first got Eevee. He remembered eagerly wanting to give her a nickname like he'd done with Magnus and Caelum but his dad was quick to point out that it might be smarter to wait until she evolved first. Now that she had evolved, he could finally give her a name that he'd waited almost a year to do.

"Hey Eevee, oh wait I'm sorry. I forgot you aren't an Eevee anymore now are you. You're a Glaceon now."

"Glaceon!" Her voice had a pouty tone to it as she looked away from Tyler. "Glae-cee-on! Glae Glacie."

"Hey I said I was sorry." Tyler said reaching out to touch Glaceon's ears, rubbing them softly to get her to look back at her. "Well now that you've evolved, I think it's finally time for you to get a nickname like Magnus and Caelum."

"Glacie! Glaceon Glacie!" His princess excitedly jumped up and started hopping back and forth in front of Tyler after he spoke.

"I take it you've been wanting a nickname for a long time huh?" Tyler chuckled as Glaceon continued to dance in front of him.

"Glaceon! Glae Glae!" The happy Glaceon nodded her head repeatedly.

"Okay then, let's come up with one together." When it came to nicknaming his Pokémon, Tyler liked to be different than most people he knew who named their Pokémon, and would use various Latin words that referred to his Pokémon in some way. Cyndaquil had first received the name Magnus after the two of them won their first Pokémon battle ever. His name symbolized the power and greatness that lay before them as well as sounding similar to magma giving it a cool double layered effect. Caelum referred to his Staraptor's love of flying through the sky and the heavens above. So the natural trend was to find something Latin for his Glaceon, and he knew just the one for her. Tyler placed his hand on his princess' head and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.

"You know, now that I think about it, you evolving into a Glaceon is a really good fit for you. You've never really liked the heat back in Orre and always hung out by the air conditioner at home. You must really love it in the cold, I mean look at today. I don't think I've ever seen you have as much fun as you did in the snow today." Tyler excitedly pet Glaceon all over her body getting a cheery chorus of Glaceon variants in response. "Yeah you did. So how does the name Nivis sound to you? It means snow, and since you love the snow so much I think it's a great fit."

"Glae." She shook her head.

"No!" Tyler was honestly shocked. Neither Magnus nor Caelum had turned down their names when they received them. "Okay then, how about Nix? That also means snow." But again Glaceon shook her head. "Well this is awkward… those were the only two I had for you as a Glaceon. I'm sorry but if you had evolved into something else I'd have more options for you."

"Glaceon, Glae Glacie." Tyler's Glaceon pawed at the snow in front of her as she looked at Tyler. He watched her for a bit thinking maybe she was trying to tell him something. But watching her only proved to be a waste of time as she made horizontal lines in the snow. "Glaceon. Glacie Glae Glaceon G-lae!" She said pointing at her lines with one of her paws.

"I wish I could understand you right now." Tyler sighed petting her head. "But if you want me to keep going I'll try. Hmm... I guess if we look at your Ice typing there's always Glacia except that's way too close to your original name for me to like it." Glaceon nodded in agreement. "Yeah I thought as much… Oh wait a minute, how could I forget that you're my cute little princess. Maybe your name should reflect that."

"Glaceon." Princess Glaceon nodded again approving of Tyler's decision to try again as she pointed back at the lines she made earlier. "G-lae-cie. Glae-cee."

"You know if I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to read me a story." Tyler joked as he reached out to pet the Glaceon again but froze as he realized the words he just said. A memory came back to Tyler's head like it'd only happened yesterday. Tyler was sitting in his room with a blanket around him and his Eevee as she sat in his lap while he read her a story. It was Eevee's favorite story, about a beautiful princess who lived in a castle in the mountains who was loved by everyone except her own mother. The mother was jealous of her daughter's beauty and was worried that her daughter would soon take the throne from her when she married. So she hired a witch to place a curse on the daughter and make it so anyone who fell in love with her would suffer horrible bad luck. Many people the princess loved rejected her because of the curse but one person, a knight of her own castle fell in love with her and insisted to stay by her side despite the horrible things that had happened to him. Even after losing everything and having nothing to offer her except his love, the knight proposed marriage to which the princess said yes. And as they kissed, their love for each other broke the curse allowing the two of them to live together happily ever after.

"That story… it's been forever since I thought of that. Were you trying to remind me of the story I used to read you about that cursed princess and the knight who broke her curse with a kiss?" The Glaceon's eyes began sparkling like diamonds as she excitedly began dancing before Tyler once again.

"Glacie! Glae Glaceon, Glacie!"

"I'll take that as a yes." Tyler chuckled as he watched the Glaceon continue to prance about. "So then, princess Glaceon, I believe it only to be appropriate that we name you after the princess in that story that you love so much."

"Glacie! Glaceon!" Glaceon excitedly cried her name with her whole body shimmering in the diamond dust surrounding her.

"So from this point onward your name shall be... shall be... aw crap, I can't remember the princess's name! Dammit!" Tyler angrily punched the ground as he shook his head in disbelief. How could he have possibly forgotten the princess's name? It seemed like he read his Eevee that story every day back when they first met. She loved the story so much that she wanted to become a princess and Tyler started treating her like one. And now he'd gone and forgotten her name? How could he do something so stupid?

"Glae... Glacie?" Tyler's Glaceon was on the verge of tears as her ears drooped sadly. The excited sparkle in her eyes a second ago now was rapidly becoming a rippling sadness that crushed Tyler's heart to pieces.

"Oh shit no Eevee don't cry. Fuck, I mean Glaceon please don't cry." Tyler quickly pulled his Pokémon into a hug as he too felt tears forming at the edge of his eyes. "I'm really sorry I can't remember the princess's name right now. I know how much you love that story and that it means a lot to both you and me. And the princess's name would be absolutely perfect for you. I just wish I could remember her name."

"Glacie..." Tyler's Glaceon quietly sobbed as tears fell down and froze against her face.

"I know, I know. Believe me Glaceon I want to give you that name, but I just can't remember. I promise that when we get out of this I'll call mom and ask her to look it up okay? I know you want to have that name now seeing as you can't seem to wait any long... wait a sec that sounded familiar." Tyler mused to himself.

"Glaceon?" Her ears twitched as she wiggled out of Tyler's hug and sat before him with her head cocked sideways in confusion. "Glae, Glacie?" Tyler's brow furrowed as he began talking to himself again.

"You can't seem to wait... You can't. That sounds really close to the princess's name... what is it?

"Glacie!" Princess Glaceon stood up on her hind legs and barked at Tyler. "Glacie! Glae-cee!"

"You can't... Yuca? No that's not it. Maybe Yuko? No that's not it either."

"Glacie! Glae-cee-on!" Tyler looked up at his Pokémon and seeing her serious expression as she said her name again. "Glae-cee!"

"Glae-cee?" Tyler asked his Pokémon who nodded before him still staring at him intently. "You can't... and Glae-cee... Yuca...Glae-cee... *Gasp* I remembered it! Her name is Yuki!"

Before Tyler could even react, his Glaceon tackled him to the ground and happily gave him another round of frosted kisses. Her ticklish tongue and the excitement in her voice as she merrily cried out her name brought an ear to ear smile to Tyler's face as he began laughing hysterically beneath her. He couldn't help but give her a hug as the two of them rolled around in the snow sharing a moment of happiness as pure as the untouched snow around them. A minute later Glaceon squirmed back out of Tyler's arms and sat expectantly before her trainer as she happily swished her diamond tail back and forth.

"Glaceon!" She mewed with a huge smile on her face as she raised her left paw before Tyler.

"As you wish your highness, let's make it official." Tyler grabbed his Glaceon's outstretched paw with his hand and held it lightly in his hand. "From this moment onward Glaceon, your name shall be Yuki." He then bent his head down towards her paw and gave it a kiss with his hand just like the knight in their beloved story. Princess Yuki responded in kind with a kiss of her own to Tyler's forehead warming both of their hearts in the frozen tundra they found themselves surrounded by. Their ceremony over, Tyler let go of Yuki's paw and watched as she happily danced about before Tyler ecstatic to have a name, and a treasured one at that. She dove into a snow bank like she had earlier as Tyler only smiled as he called out for Yuki just like earlier in the day when she did this with Wendy. She popped her head up looking even cuter this time than before. As she shook the snow off her body this time, she looked past Tyler and saw his hood still lying on the ice so she trotted over to it and picked it up with her mouth before placing it before her trainer.

"Aw thank you so much Yuki."

"Glaceon!" Yuki happily mewed as she watched Tyler as he reattached the hood to the back of his jacket.

"Aren't you happy to have a name now?" Tyler reached out to pet Yuki's blue toque again and give it a friendly tease but as he did his left arm erupted in pain once again. He'd been too preoccupied with his own Pokémon's safety earlier and finally giving Yuki her name that he'd forgotten that he'd injured himself pretty badly as well.

"Glaceon?" Yuki asked cocking her head sideways looking at her trainer's troubled face.

"I'm fine, really." Tyler lied again trying to be brave, but Yuki wasn't buying it this time. She shook her head saying her name as she spoke at him, insisting that he was hurt. "I mean it, it doesn't hurt that much. If anything I'm just cold that's all."

"Glacie? Glaceon Glae!" Yuki's ears twitched as she soon appeared to be taking charge walking off in a direction of some tree coverage. "Glacie!" She called back to Tyler wanting him to follow her.

"Okay, I hope you know where you're going though because I certainly don't. Let's go Splints." Tyler said as he started walking behind his Pokémon, supporting himself with the stick as he did. They went into the trees once again and the walking stick was greatly needed as the terrain became uneven and hard to walk over. But Yuki patiently waited for her trainer to catch up each time as she continued to lead them into a more isolated area of the forest. Eventually Tyler could see another clearing beyond this tree line. Upon stepping out of it, the diamond dust Yuki had dancing around her glowed as she turned back to her trainer.

"Glaceon Glae!" She said pointing at something in the distance with one of her paws. Following it, Tyler could see a smaller series of hills jutting out of the white blobs of snow, and what appeared to be an opening in one of the hills indicated by a wide black spot that he could make out by squinting at it.

"A cave? You found a cave?" Tyler asked looking at her hopefully.

"Glaceon!" Yuki mewed back at him.

"Well how about that, you really did know where you were going. Great job Princess Yuki!" The two of them kept walking through the storm a bit faster now as the prospect of a nice snow free cave warmed up Tyler's body and spirit.

A/N: So let me see if I got this right Wendy. You were on your way back from Route 217 when you two and got attacked by something and you crashed the hovercraft.

Wendy: Right and since Tyler was unconscious I took the hovercraft and rode it back here to the Pokémon center to get help.

DrPhill26: He would find a way to get himself hurt on his first night in Sinnoh. That stupid idiot.

Pulse: Master, I have Tess' Poké ball. I have also informed the nurses about our situation. They are preparing a paramedic crew to assist us.

Wendy: Thank you Pulse. You've done a great job already.

DrPhill26: We really shouldn't waste anymore time. If Tyler is as hurt as you think he is then we need to hurry.

Wendy: I hope he's okay. I didn't want to leave him out there with just his Eevee.

Pulse: Have faith in him master. I know Sir Tyler may act like a fool but he has a very strong will. I am confident that he will be fine when we find him.

DrPhill26: What Pulse said. Besides, he's too stupid to let anything really bad happen to him or his Pokémon.

Wendy: Thanks you two, I needed that.

DrPhill26: Hey what can I say, I'm a doctor, its in my nature to help people.

Pulse: But you're studying psychology not medicine, and further more aren't you still in school?

DrPhill26: Shut up Pulse! This is DrPhill26 signing out and I hope to see you again next time.
