Chapter 9: Onto the Tundra Zone
Pikachu walked over to the gate to the Tundra Zone. Just then, it opened up. "Alright. Now you can go to the Tundra Zone. The Volcano Zone is just through it." Sirfetch'd said. "That's great! Now we can go and find Tepig and Charmander!" Oshawott cheered. "Who knows what kind of trouble they might've gotten into while we've been separated." Snivy said. "We'll go on ahead and see what we can find." Piplup. "See you out there." Chikorita said. Piplup, Chikorita and Eevee headed into the Tundra Zone. Pikachu then decided to follow and enter the Tundra Zone.
The Tundra Zone was a beautiful winter wonderland. It was filled with beautiful snow-covered fir trees, a big lake and a large frozen volcano on the far side of the zone. "Brr! I never realized that the Tundra Zone would be so cold!" Snivy exclaimed, shivering from the cold. "It maybe cold, but we still have a mission to do." Oshawott said. "Brr! You're right. We should try to find out where to find Delphox." Snivy said. Pikachu found Chikorita, Piplup and Chatot, ran over to them and started to talk to Chatot. "Hey, you made it to the Tundra Zone. I suppose you're on your way to see Delphox with Rillaboom's message? Well, she prefers hot temperatures, so she'll likely be in the Volcano Zone, located inside the volcano just through these woods." Chatot said. "A volcano in the middle of a snowy zone? I see a bit of irony there." Piplup said. "Well then, we best make our way towards the volcano then." Chikorita said.
With that said and done, Pikachu started to head towards the volcano. As he trekked across the white fluffy snow, passing by a small group of Pokémon, he finally reached the volcano. There was a Wyrdeer standing by an entrance into it. But the entrance appeared to have been frozen. As Pikachu walked over to the entrance, Wyrdeer started to talk to him and the others. "Not from around here, are you?" Wyrdeer asked. "We've come to speak to Delphox." Oshawott said. "She's inside the Volcano Zone. But I'm afraid that she ordered it to be frozen. No one can get inside now." Wyrdeer said. "But there's gotta be a way through that ice." Snivy said. "Well, there is one way. Mamoswine. He should be strong enough to break through the ice. But he's been frozen too. He's on the other side of the lake near here." Wyrdeer said. "That's it then. We have to unfreeze Mamoswine and get him to break through the ice." Oshawott said. "Oh, will you do that please? I've never seen Delphox act this way before." Wyrdeer said.
Before deciding to head over to the lake, Pikachu decided to take some time to explore the Tundra Zone. He walked over to a passing white Vulpix and talked to her. "Normally, I prefer the cold air. But it just doesn't feel the same with all of Delphox's changes." Vulpix said. "You want to play a Skill Game? Oh, let's play Chase!" Pikachu answered yes. "Alright! Let's see if Chase will warm up my heart." Vulpix said.
Vulpix ran out a few feet from Pikachu and prepared to play. 3, 2, 1, GO! Vulpix started running and Pikachu started to chase her. Vulpix proved to be quite the runner. But Pikachu managed to catch up to her and tackle her, winning the game. YOU WIN!
Pikachu and Vulpix met back up where they started. "Wow! That really warmed me up. You're pretty fast. You're off to see Delphox? Well, if you get inside Volcano Zone, look for my red cousin inside. She'll be your friend too, if you want to be my friend." Vulpix said, giving Pikachu 10 berries. Pikachu and Vulpix cheered.
Befriended Vulpix!
Berries: 180
Just then, a beautiful brilliant blue Ninetales appeared in the Zone.
Ninetales has come to play!
As Pikachu took off again to look through the zone, he came across a Sandshrew with igloo-like armor. He walked up to Sandshrew and talked to him. "Oh, I love the snow. I feel like it's my whole world here in the Tundra Zone. And yet I wonder what else could be out there." Sandshrew said. "I wanna play a Skill Game. You like Hide-N-Seek?" Pikachu answered yes. "I warn you. I'm a natural when hiding in the snow." Sandshrew said.
Pikachu closed his eyes as Sandshrew hid himself in the area. 3, 2, 1, GO! Pikachu started looking around for Sandshrew. Just then, he spotted an igloo-like ball sitting next to one of the trees. He walked over to it and went 'I found you', winning the game. YOU WIN!
Pikachu and Sandshrew met back where they started. "Wow. You've got a really keen eye. My cousin in the Volcano Zone would really like you." Sandshrew said, giving Pikachu 10 berries as a reward. Pikachu and Sandshrew cheered.
Sandshrew is now your friend!
Berries: 190
Just then, a few Snorunt and Bergmite appeared in the zone.
Snorunt has come to play!
Bergmite has come to play!
After Pikachu took off again, he ran up to one of the Snorunt and talked to him. "Brr! I love the snowy air, it does something to me and my sisters. If it was up to me, I'd wish all the Pokémon in PokéPark would enjoy the snowy air. But that's just me." Snorunt said. "Say, I'm looking to play a Skill Game. Wanna Battle?" Pikachu answered yes. "Alright! Snowy air coming at you!" Snorunt said.
Snorunt ran out a few feet as the 2 prepared to Battle. 3, 2, 1, GO! As they dashed towards each other, Snorunt blew Icy Wind at Pikachu. But Pikachu dodged to the left, charged up Thunderbolt and shocked Snorunt with it, dealing damage. Snorunt recovered and fired another Icy Wind. But Pikachu dodged to the right, charged up another Thunderbolt and shocked Snorunt again, dealing more damage. After Snorunt recovered, he fired one more Icy Wind. But Pikachu dodged to the right, dashed towards Snorunt and tackled him to deliver the final blow, winning the game. YOU WIN!
Pikachu and Snorunt met back up where they started. "That was an excellent Battle. I guess snowy air isn't for everyone. Please, be my friend." Snorunt said, giving Pikachu 10 berries as a reward. Pikachu and Snorunt cheered.
Snorunt is now your friend!
Berries: 200
Pikachu took off to find one more Pokémon to make friends with. Just then, he found one of the Bergmite, ran over to him and talked to him. "I love the feeling of snow and ice on my feet. Let's me slip and slide around the zone like I'm flying." Bergmite said. "Like playing Skill Games? How about a Battle?" Pikachu answered yes. "Okay. Let's get started." Bergmite said.
Bergmite slid out a few feet as they both prepared to Battle. 3, 2, 1, GO! As they dashed towards each other, Bergmite fired Ice Shard at Pikachu. But Pikachu leapt over the attack and hit Bergmite with Iron Tail, dealing damage. Pikachu backed off as Bergmite nearly hit him with Rapid Spin. Bergmite fired another Ice Shard. But Pikachu dodged it and hit Bergmite with Iron Tail again, dealing more damage. Pikachu quickly backed off as Bergmite attempted another Rapid Spin. Bergmite fired another Ice Shard. But Pikachu dodged it and hit Bergmite with one more Iron Tail, knocking him out and winning the Battle. YOU WIN!
Pikachu and Bergmite met back up where they started. "Wow! You're pretty fast with your moves. Oh, I am gonna tell all my friends about you." Bergmite said, giving Pikachu 10 berries as a reward. Pikachu and Bergmite cheered.
Bergmite is now your friend!
Berries: 210
After the conversation ended, Pikachu decided to take a break and save his progress. He brought out his PokéPark Pad and hit the save button, saving his progress.
