A Difficult Advance in the Wind and Snow

A Pokemon that looks like a turtle emerges from the dark passage. Its entire body is made of icebergs, and it has a pair of amber-colored pupils.

The upper body is flat, with three cracks on the surface, many icicles on the abdomen, and its legs are cylindrical.

This Pokemon is very large, about two meters tall, and walks slowly, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

【 Pokemon: Avalugg(Ice)

Ability: Own Tempo

Qualification: Master

Level: LV 49 (Ace)】

Avalugg at level 49!

This is the strongest Pokemon Bruce has encountered so far in the snowy mountain.

—It seems this master doesn't greet us very well. Upon seeing just one Pokemon, Maxwell relaxed and laughed out loud.

"Let me handle this, you all rest well," Bruce said proactively.

Experience points are hard to come by, so you should seize every opportunity to earn them.

The other three were physically and mentally exhausted, so naturally, they were eager for Bruce to take care of it, and they moved aside to watch the battle.

Bruce thought for a moment and decided to let Gardevoir play.

"Mystical Fire."

Bruce's voice sounded in Gardevoir's mind.

"Ah~"

Gardevoir nodded slightly and immediately opened her mouth, from which orange flames erupted, forming a column of fire that rushed toward Avalugg.

The flames rose into the sky, and heat waves spread, making the people around feel a sense of warmth.

"Roar…"

Avalugg's colored pupils fixed on the approaching fire column, its face calm, and it suddenly performed Rapid Spin.

Spinning at an extremely fast speed with itself as the center, there was a gusting sound for a while, so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

Boom!

Mystical Fire struck Avalugg while it was spinning, as though hitting a light shield that bounced it back, and instead, it rebounded and hit the rock wall above its head with a crash, breaking off a piece of rock.

Looking at this scene, Bruce raised an eyebrow and realized that this Avalugg was a little strange.

It used 【Rapid Spin】as defense, which seems to belong to a counterattack shield technique.

Did this wild Avalugg really understand this usage?

But this isn't surprising; in fact, certain abilities can be used in special ways by accident, opening the door to a new world.

For example, if you search a license plate number online, you often come across strange things.

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and Avalugg, on the opposite side, suddenly took a few steps, its heavy body slammed into the ground and charged toward Gardevoir.

"Any Pokemon that wants to get close to Gardevoir will feel attracted to her," Maxwell commented, crossing his arms.

"Indeed." Eliza nodded deeply while recalling the scene of fighting against Gardevoir.

Avalugg opened its mouth wide, and extremely cold temperatures began to gather, Ice Fang advanced toward Gardevoir!

"Teleport," Bruce ordered.

Gardevoir's eyes were calm, and psychic energy waves rippled. Her figure flickered and disappeared in place.

Just when Avalugg attacked Smackdown, Gardevoir suddenly appeared behind it.

"What!"

Gardevoir stretched out her arms, aiming at Avalugg in front of her, and psychic energy exploded, with a blue net binding Avalugg inside.

"Roar!"

Avalugg got caught in the blue net and, with a fierce look in its eyes, slammed its hard body, similar to Oreburgh's, into the blue net.

But the blue net seemed to have elasticity, and Avalugg's tremendous force was like a clay cow entering the sea, causing no waves.

Instead, Avalugg was controlled by Psychic to lift off the ground, before falling heavily back down.

Boom!

The heavy body hit the ground, immediately raising a cloud of dust, followed by a loud 'boom.'

"Roar…"

Avalugg, with small cracks all over its body, staggered to its feet. It first shook its head, then glared at Gardevoir and let out a furious growl.

In the massive cave, only Avalugg's roar could be heard.

"Gardevoir is really stronger than last time." As a player who had fought Bruce, Eliza had the right to speak on this.

"It's even more complicated and difficult to handle," Eliza whispered.

Looking at Gardevoir's figure, Maxwell smiled and said, "Alright, this time our opponent isn't us.

"It's time for those foreign players to rack their brains and figure out how to deal with Gardevoir."

Avalugg glared fiercely and panted lightly. After adjusting its competitive condition, it suddenly lunged toward Gardevoir. Though its speed wasn't fast, the momentum was extremely formidable, "like an unstoppable snow tank."

Double-Edge!

"Psychic," Bruce ordered decisively, with a calm look.

"What!"

Gardevoir's eyes glowed purple, and the growing psychic energy spread layer by layer like an airwave, transforming into a substantial thought wave that instantly invaded Avalugg's mind.

"Roar"

Accompanied by the sorrowful sound of a growl, Avalugg suddenly stopped, shaking its head desperately, as though trying to rid itself of all the pain in its brain.

But at the same time, a turbulent column of fire erupted suddenly, completely engulfing Avalugg.

Black smoke filled the air, airwaves rose, and roars echoed in their ears.

When looking down again, Avalugg's eyes had become circles, and it lost its ability to fight.

Successfully resolved. Seeing this, Bruce clapped his hands with a satisfied smile on his face.

Suddenly Maxwell softly said, "Envy, envy."

"What do you envy?" Bruce shot a puzzled glance.

"People who envy Psychic don't need to speak, and it really takes courage to speak up in this environment," Maxwell said.

Hearing this, Bruce smiled and patted Maxwell on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "You can go to the Dojo Doom to learn; maybe you can really master Psychic."

"Really?" Maxwell seemed doubtful.

"Believe in yourself, you're a psychic among a million," Bruce laughed.

They chatted for a while, finished their meal quickly, and then set off again.

The wind and snow intensified in the afternoon, gray clouds covered the entire sky, and the cold air filtered into their clothes more frequently.

The front, back, left, and right were all white, and Bruce could only use Psychic to determine the approximate direction and push forward against the Blizzard.

Fortunately, Blaziken stayed close to Bruce from start to finish, keeping the surrounding temperature within a comfortable range and providing warmth.

To walk on the snow, it is essential to have Fire-type Pokemon daily.

On the way, Bruce encountered several Pokemon and defeated them one by one, but he never met the rest.

They all seemed to vanish in the violent snowstorm.

At 4:30 PM, the wind and snow gradually lessened. Bruce saw two houses made of rocks at the edge of his field of vision.

Camp two, here we come.

Bruce pushed the door open forcefully, entered, and then closed it to protect it from the wind and snow, and the entire world became silent for a moment.

"First, have a cup of hot tea."

Colin was sitting by the fireplace, looking at Bruce, who entered with a smile.

Julian handed Bruce a cup of hot tea.

Bruce drank the beverage in one gulp, and after his stomach warmed up, he looked around and asked curiously, "Has the rest not arrived yet?"

In the house, only Colin and Julian were there.

Julian responded, "You're the first to arrive."

Bruce nodded thoughtfully and sat by the fireplace with a cup of hot tea.

As a psychic, it is much easier to deal with the hostile environment than ordinary people.

The three chatted for a while, and time passed gradually. Half an hour later, Asher arrived.

Soon after, people arrived one by one at Camp No. 2.

Liam, Luka, Maxwell, Eliza, Mariana, and finally Asher.

When Nathaniel arrived at Camp No. 2, night fell, and the sky was completely dark.

"Today, everyone performed well and successfully completed today's goal," Colin looked at everyone and smiled with satisfaction.

"I'm almost exhausted," murmured Mariana quietly.

Colin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the next two days will only be more tiring."

"What?"

After the words fell, there was a sound of mourning.

"For the first time, I sincerely admire those ascetic monks and martial artists," Luka sighed softly.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Due to the limited conditions, several people need to sleep in one room and be cramped together.

The ascetic monks and martial artists Luka mentioned have as their favorite challenge climbing snow-covered mountains shirtless and without any equipment.

"Actually, I feel the difficulty is moderate, and the only feeling is that I'm tired," Luka repeated.

Colin made no comments, took out the route map, thought for a moment, and then said, "The first day is just an appetizer, and the rest is the most critical."

"It's been a long time since I've gone to bed so early." Maxwell was sleeping next to Bruce, looking up at the ceiling above and suddenly shouted.

-Understood- everyone replied in unison.

"It's six in the evening, you can rest after dinner."

Then, Colin gave a detailed explanation of the next day's route, and after dinner, everyone went to bed to rest.

"Hey, do you think Instructor Bishop and the others will set us some obstacles?"

Of course, such beings are rare, very rare.

"That makes sense." Luka nodded.

"The real challenge awaits us behind."

"Don't worry, this is the first day," Bruce said softly.

"Leave early tomorrow."

"Nothing is more important than your body."

"As long as you're tired enough, you can sleep at any time," Bruce suddenly said.

"It's just the harsh environment and wild Pokemon. Although I'm a bit tired, it doesn't seem too difficult," said Maxwell in a low voice.

Colin nodded slightly and said, "If you don't feel fit and can't continue on the path, remember to ask for emergency assistance."
