The Difficulty of Climbing the Snowy Mountain
The wind howled and the snow began to fall.
Looking down at the four peaks of the Borealia Mountain from a great height through the clouds, one can clearly see figures walking through the snow, heading toward Camp Number 2.
Bruce unleashed his Psychic abilities, isolating the snow with Psychic and attaching Psychic to his feet, which helps save energy and improve grip.
In fact, the simplest method is Teleport, but Teleport consumes more energy and has a cooldown.
Before that, let's experience the Laser Focus approach itself.
Of course, the effect of this Laser Focus on Bruce... at most is to temper his will.
Bruce's Pokemon don't need to find an opportunity to level up to the gym level; they only need experience points.
As long as you have enough experience points, reaching the Elite level won't be difficult.
"What?"
Gardevoir followed closely behind Bruce, also using Confusion to create a Barrier to stop the snow.
At the same time, she floated gently with Confusion, staying very close to the ground, but she simply didn't need to step on the snow.
As for Blaziken on the left, its bright eyes melted the snow before it even reached its side.
Additionally, Blaziken has a light body and excellent physical condition. Walking here feels like walking on flat ground.
"Metagross!"
Metagross was suspended in the air, not rejecting the snow falling on it, but it seemed a bit excited.
However, the already mature and steady Metagross didn't forget its duty: to protect the surroundings in the air, remaining cautious of any sudden attacks.
As for Asher, who left with Bruce, he walked extremely quickly, advancing against the wind and snow, and soon disappeared from Bruce's view.
"Set your goals for today."
"First goal, reach Camp Number 2 before dark," Bruce said, looking at the three Pokemon.
"Second goal, find wild Pokemon and gain experience points."
The three Pokemon nodded after hearing the words, filled with anticipation.
Obviously, finding wild Pokemon in the snow-covered mountains isn't that simple.
As time passed, the snowy mountain was already filled with heavy snow, which severely impacted vision, and only about five meters around could be seen.
The wind and snow blended together, darkening the field of vision and providing wild Pokemon with natural cover.
At that moment, Bruce realized that actively searching for wild Pokemon was obviously a pointless choice.
Bruce followed the route again, and this time it didn't take long before he saw the first wild Pokemon.
The Pokemon in front of him was swollen, covered in fluffy white fur, with lavender eyes, thick eyebrows, and some long strands of hair covering its mouth.
【Pokemon: Abomasnow (Grass/Ice)
Ability: Snow Warning
Qualification: Gym
Level: LV 46 (Ace)】
Abomasnow, also known as the Snow Monster, is the true identity of the Snowman.
It dislikes contact with the outside world and has lived quietly in the snow-covered mountains for thousands of years, usually enjoying itself in solitude.
Seeing the Abomasnow emerge from the wind and snow in front of him, Bruce tapped his chin, looked around, and said, "Metagross, you're right."
"! Metagross!"
Metagross looked at Abomasnow with scarlet eyes, and the battle was imminent.
"Meteor Mash."
Due to the special environment, Bruce didn't even want to open his mouth to give orders, instead directly using telepathy to command Metagross.
"! Metagross!"
Metagross lunged at Abomasnow, and its long fists shot out a long and sharp white light, like a comet striking the earth, solidifying the sky.
Seeing Metagross coming with amazing momentum, Abomasnow let out a low growl, suddenly clapped its fists together, and a freezing temperature emerged as the Ice Punch exploded!
Boom!
Meteor Mash and Ice Punch collided suddenly, and the shockwave lifted the snow, sweeping away the snow beneath the Phoenix's feet.
But the next moment, Abomasnow's expression changed. It felt an enormous force rushing towards it uncontrollably, almost crushing it directly.
Suddenly, Abomasnow's face became fierce, and it suffered tremendous force, staggering backward several steps and nearly falling to the ground.
But when it looked down, it discovered that it had been wounded in the abdomen, leaving scars.
With a single blow, Abomasnow had already suffered a heavy hit.
"..."
Metagross' eyes blinked slightly, clearly dissatisfied with its performance.
Bruce smiled faintly and understood Metagross' meaning through telepathy.
Metagross felt that the temperature here was too low and the weather was too cold, which affected its performance. Otherwise, it could have defeated this Abomasnow with one blow.
"Roar!"
At the same time, Abomasnow struck its chest and roared angrily, waving its thick arms, its face filled with resentment.
Its roar was deafening, and Bruce frowned, a little worried that it might trigger an Avalanche.
Avalanches are deadly for ordinary people.
Suddenly, Abomasnow opened its large mouth, releasing a violent blizzard in an instant, intertwining with the wind and snow of nature, forming an even bigger and more powerful blizzard!
When blown, they resemble monsters and ghosts with teeth and claws, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Bruce stared at the hurricane-like rain passing by, adjusting his clothing more tightly.
At the moment, he was wearing a helmet, protective glasses, and a scarf, doing everything he could to shield himself from the cold.
"Metagross, Flash Cannon," Bruce's voice quietly rang in Metagross' mind.
"! Metagross!"
Metagross looked at the hurricane-like rain blowing violently, with no fear on its face. It was filled with bright white light, which instantly condensed into a point, forming a Flash Cannon exuding terrifying energy!
Boom!
The Flash Cannon suddenly exploded, and the unstoppable white light pierced through the hurricane-like blizzard, splitting it open.
Boom!
Among the sparks, Flash Cannon struck Abomasnow behind the Blizzard, and the terrifying ability erupted instantly.
"Roar"
As the energy wave spread layer by layer, Abomasnow let out an unwilling roar before finally collapsing to the ground.
The blizzard gradually dissipated, leaving only the usual wind and snow.
Bruce quickly walked over to the fallen Abomasnow, treated it with healing spray, and then continued forward with his three Pokemon.
Walking through the snow in the sky consumes energy quickly, and the extremely low temperature severely affects movement.
Bruce wrapped his whole body tightly and used Psychic to isolate part of the cold air from the snow, but he didn't suffer too much.
"The farther you go, the lower the temperature, the thinner the oxygen, and the harder it is to walk."
"Today's route was fine, but the more difficult sections will concentrate on the second and third days."
"At that point, there will still be glaciers," Bruce thought.
Walking along the main road, by noon, Bruce encountered only four wild Pokemon.
In the middle of the heavy snowfall, Bruce found a relatively hidden cave ahead on the right.
"Pause."
Thinking this, Bruce quickly walked toward the cave.
The moment he entered, three familiar faces appeared.
Eliza, Mariana, and Maxwell noticed the movement at the entrance of the cave and raised their heads simultaneously. When they saw Bruce, they smiled.
"Bruce, looks like you found this cave too." Maxwell smiled and gestured for Bruce to come and sit.
In front of them, a campfire glowed brightly.
"Come rest for a while," Bruce casually replied, sitting next to Maxwell.
"You're going too fast; you'll catch up with us," Mariana suddenly said.
Mariana and Eliza left first, Maxwell was in the second group, and now they were surpassed by Bruce, who was the last to leave.
"What about the rest?" Bruce asked.
Eliza shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure. The snow is too heavy, and the field of vision is severely restricted."
"We three found this cave one after the other and met here," Eliza added.
Maxwell pulled out a piece of wood from nowhere and tossed it into the fire, watching the sparks fly and sighed loudly, "Climbing the snowy mountain is a bit tough."
"The first day is still very difficult, but you can already imagine how difficult the next two days will be..."
"Damn, it's too cold outside, and walking on the snow is so uncomfortable that my progress is really slow," the cute girl Mariana cursed.
"And there's always some wild Pokemon popping up to block the way, I've never encountered such an annoying one," Mariana continued.
Hearing these words, Eliza covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "So this is special training."
"If it were exactly the same as regular training, how could it be called special training?"
"Besides, climbing snowy mountains is originally a form of training for trainers, but this method is full of dangers and requires constantly challenging physical limits. Only a trainer with strong will can succeed."
"If it helps our Pokemon advance, then this difficulty isn't a big deal."
"As expected of Sister Eliza." Hearing this, Maxwell clapped repeatedly.
The applause echoed in the empty cave, and suddenly, a deep beastly growl was heard from the dark passage behind them, an unending sound.
Bruce first looked at the passage behind him, then looked at the three people whose expressions had changed, and asked, "Did you check the back?"
Eliza frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice, "Our original intention was to rest here for a while, so we didn't explore the back."
Bruce nodded slightly, stood up slowly, stared at the dark passage behind, and said, "It seems that the owner here doesn't welcome us much."
"Get ready to fight."
When the voice fell, the other three stood up at the same time, and a group of Pokemon was already waiting, staring at the massive figure emerging from the dark passage.
