The world , at least the place where Snivy, Totodile , Cyndaquil and Charmander got ready to carry out their mission, was very life threatening, perhaps even more then the more active volcanic spots out there… It was cold and Snow was just about everywhere. Snowflakes started to cover up the team as they marched through the white masses of frozen water. Snivy was staying very close to the fire types; she probably hated the cold more than fire… "This place is just not Grass type friendly…" Snivy complained, she was angrily waving with her ivy leaf. "Where do we even start to look for Pokémon in all this..?" Cyndaquil thought, as she remembered their mission goal of evacuating anyone they encounter. "hatchu!" Totodile sneezed… The unexpected yelling voice seemed to carry on forever, the mountains around here, and the snow made sure that it would be hard to find or see anything in all the whiteness…
Totodile´s nose was dribbling. Just then a mighty earthquake broke through the quietness of this winter oasis. "Can it get any more annoying?!" Snivy groaned. Cyndaquil just stood still, she was pretty scared, and her back was burning brightly… The Snake Pokémon almost bumped into the Fire Mouse Pokémon… Suddenly, way in the distance, the snow started to bury some weird half pipes into the ground. Charmander tried to see who was doing it, but everything was just too bright…
Whatever it was got closer. Out of nowhere a whole ball of Mud flew right into Cyndaquil´s face. "Heeelp!" she screamed out of surprise, Charmander quickly started to clean the wet dirt of Cyndaquil. "Oh hello?" a voice said. Everyone looked into the snow, noticing some small little pig, which had a couple of friends in tow. "So you didn´t come to take our land?" One of them added. "No we have to get everyone to safety." Totodile explained, he also told the ground types about the asteroid. The three little pigs murmured. "Well then we must tell our parents too!" they concluded. "Can you lead the way? It´s almost impossible to find anything here…" Snivy asked in a very challenging way. Without any response, the ice types started to dig through the snow, lending the strangers their senses.
Snivy looked at Totodile while they were moving. Water which had dribbled down his nose had started to turn into a little icicle. She giggled at the water type, and then she removed the frozen water without warning. "Ow…" The blue reptile said, as the pain slowly surged through him, apparently everything out here was slow. "Nothing is worse than this place, right?" Snivy asked the red eyed crocodile. "Definitely yes!" he responded.
The sky slowly started to get brighter, as the sun rose into the skies. Time passed, and after what felt like hours the seven Pokémon reached some sort of entrance in the ground. Apparently it was some sort of underground hideout. It started to get smelly and stinky… It was rather dark, as no snow made it deep into the cave. In the back were two more pig Pokémon, they came closer. Snivy seemed confused with all these Pokémon which looked alike. "Why did you bring outsiders?" One of them asked. "Well, if you don´t want to be blown up by an asteroid, you better listen to us outsiders!" Snivy yelled. She hated to be called an outsider, although she knew she was, she was showing her teeth to show, how enraged she was. "Says who?" The other one responded. "Our guild. It´s your choice, whether you want to survive the next week." Totodile said, staring into what he believed to be the eyes. "Their bodies were covered in thick fur, and it was hard to tell, where their faces were…
"We are supposed to bring any one we find to safety…" Cyndaquil explained. "I hope, it is going to be worth, that we give up our home" One of them said, confirming the decision of following the rescuers instructions. "Our guild has a lot of space, you´ll like it." Charmander comforted. "Those are our pride, these snorunts. Call us pilowswine… "The bigger one introduced. "Let's make it back then." Snivy said, "We can guide you, to where we met." The three Snorunts" explained. Then they led the way, back into the snow.
As soon as Snivy surfaced, she started to shiver… This time she stayed close to Charmander´s Flame. The gang of ice types slowly navigated through the snow. Every step out here felt cold and wet for those, who were not adapt to the cold environment. "Say, what kind work is this, that you do?" one of the pilowswines asked. "Well we rescue Pokémon in need and in return, we get to stay there." Snivy explained, who wanted to raise her nose into the air, but she didn´t want to be covered by any more snow. "Oh good..." I always wanted to d something like that, but I´m just not that good at fighting…" The other explained.
Charmander told them of the long journey, which had brought them together. The two Pilowswines just gazed in amazement as the lizard explained what happened in the last months and weeks. Snow started to gather on Snivy´s head. "You look a lot better without that white stuff" Totodile said, as he whipped of the snow. Snivy grinned, at the blue crocodile. "I sure do" The snake Pokémon said, then she looked, into the red eyes of Totodile until she finally put her right arm around the neck of the water type.
The march through the snow came to a shattering halt. The Snorunts had stopped. "This is where" they said, but as the team looked around, they still had no idea, where they could even start to look for the way back. Cyndaquil walked over to Charmander and rubbed her nose against his, she always knew, that whenever there was danger, he always would somehow help p to guide her, like he always did. Still this time, there was literally no help in sight, only the white coldness was, what was about.
