Cheimaphobia, Cheimatophobia, Psychrophobia, or Frigophobia: The Fear of the Cold or Cold things
Iris POV
Ash had just tied with Trip once again and now Trip was getting him mad by still saying he's from the boonies of Kanto. Cilan was trying to make sure that no fights break out while I was in the back ground with Axew, sweatdropping at their antics.
"Boy, Axew. You'd think that they would be done being little kids by now." I told my pokemon.
"Ex axew." he replied, also sweatdropping. Then, I heard Ash say something about wanting to see if Trip had any new pokemon. Trip calmly replied yes and brought out a pokeball. When he let the pokemon out, I squeaked in fright. He had a Vanillite! An Ice-type! I hate the cold, and so did Axew, who hid in my hair as soon as the pokemon was let out.
"Wow, a Vanillite!" Ash said, bringing out his pokedex and looking up the pokemon. I couldn't care less about the pokemon, just as long as I was away from it. But, the Vanillite had to be the opposite of its trainer and make friends, didn't it? As soon as it came out, it smiled and shook hands with Pikachu. Then, it did the same to Cilan and Ash. As soon as it saw me, it came over and tried to shake my hand, along with Axew's. I ran away from it and hid behind the farthest thing from it, which had to be Trip, didn't it?
"What the-?! Why are you hiding behind me, Iris?" Trip asked, clearly surprised. Ash and Pikachu were too, but Cilan had a knowing face. He could just tell from my antics that I have Frigophobia, couldn't he?
"I think Iris might have Frigophobia." Cilan said. He just had to say it, didn't he? I'm going to kill him after this.
"Frigophobia?" both kids asked.
"Frigophobia is the fear of the cold or cold things. Since Iris also likes dragon pokemon a lot, it wouldn't surprise me if the dragon-types were responsible for the phobia." Cilan explained. I didn't hear it, though, because I had now ran around and hid behind Ash, away from that cold, cold Vanillite.
"Okay. No wonder she keeps hiding from your Vanillite, Trip. It sort of reminds me of an old friend who also had a phobia." Ash told him, understanding.
"What phobia is that?" Cilan asked, interested.
"Entomophobia, the fear of insects. My first traveling partner, Misty, hated bugs so much that she didn't even like the bug pokemon I caught." Ash explained. I then ran behind Cilan. But, that stupid Vanillite kept following me wherever I went until it shook my hand, didn't it?
"I think that's enough, Vanillite. Return." Trip said, returning his pokemon. I sighed, finally getting away from that icy pest. Trip then turned away, starting to walk away.
"See you later, hillbilly." he said.
