Unknowingly, the snow on Shuangmo Mountain stopped.
The surrounding temperature is a bit colder, but fortunately the duration of [cold protection] is not over yet.
It has been more than three hours since he left the ranch, which means he can still stay here for more than two hours.
enough! Naoki thought.
Therefore, Luton was flying in mid-air at an unhurried speed.
Although the snow has stopped, the sky is still white without a trace of sunshine.
Occasionally, a few messenger birds flap their wings and fly by, their tails bulging like little packages.
Naoki's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to that tail.
According to his understanding, the tails of messenger birds are hollow inside, and they put food in their tails to transport them.
This Pokémon that lives in freezing cold areas is always carrying food to the waiting chicks in its nest at the top of the cliff.
Compared with Pokémon like Snowy, which would actively attack humans, Messenger Bird can be said to be very kind.
Because they have the habit of sharing their food with humans and Pokémon, they will also take the initiative to give part of their food to humans trapped in the snowy mountains to rescue them.
It is said that many people in danger in the snowy mountains are saved every year because of the food of the messenger bird.
The messenger bird in reality is quite cute, and for some trainers, the messenger bird is also a good Pokémon companion.
Even in the special chapter, the messenger bird bred by the masked man Liu Bo achieved a terrifying record of defeating the Phoenix King.
At this moment, Naoki suddenly felt a gaze looking at him.
He looked back and saw a messenger bird flying behind him.
Seeing that he was discovered, the messenger bird waved its red wings to him, then sped up and came to him, used its wings to take out two tree fruits from its tail and delivered them to Naoki.
"Um?"
Seeing this scene, Naoki was slightly startled.
His brain was confused for a second, and then he realized that he was covered in snow and was wearing very thin clothes, so this messenger bird mistook him for a human being in distress.
Thinking of this, Naoki suddenly felt dumbfounded.
The messenger bird called enthusiastically, without taking any credit, and turned around to fly away, continuing to collect food.
Seeing this, Naoki quickly shouted: "Wait a minute, messenger bird!"
"Bibi?"
The messenger bird stopped in confusion.
It turned around and looked at the human and the big guy under him, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on its face.
Those two tree fruits are not enough for them to eat!
For such a big Pokémon, there is no way a single tree fruit can fill its stomach.
But it only found five tree fruits today...
Now two have been separated, and it has three more.
But it is very difficult to find food in the snow.
Thinking of this, the messenger bird was a little embarrassed.
It hesitated again and again and took out another fruit from its tail.
Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and shook his head.
He returned the fruit to the messenger bird: "Thank you very much for the food, but we don't need it. You can keep it for yourself!"
"Bibi?"
The messenger bird was a little confused.
Naoki glanced at its clenched tail. From the outside, he could see that there were only two fruits left inside.
Boy, is this messenger bird too good? Actually, more than half of the fruit was separated out in one fell swoop.
Fruits do not grow in the snow, which means that messenger birds fly far away to pick them up.
He thought for a moment, and then took out the food he brought this time from his backpack.
He kept these foods to lure Ice Eevee back to the ranch.
Among them are honey buns, tree nuts, lucky puddings, and ham sandwiches.
Because there were a lot of them, Naoki took out some of them and gave them to the kind messenger bird, and he also thoughtfully helped it put the food into its tail.
"Bibi?!"
The messenger bird looked very surprised to see the food.
Naoki smiled and said to it: "I am not short of food, so I will give these to you!"
"Bibi..."
At this time, Guledun below him let out a cry, reminding him that he was almost at his destination.
Naoki waved goodbye to the messenger bird: "Goodbye, messenger bird!"
He retracted his divergent thoughts and focused all his attention on the three-cha cliff ahead.
It was a very special cliff, shaped like some kind of Pokémon's hand.
It is for this reason that it was named the Frost-smeared Hand by the people in the Padia region. It is one of the "Ten Scenes of Padia" and the ten most proud landscapes in the Padia region.
So Luton slowly landed on the cliff, Naoki jumped off him, and stood on the top of the cliff observing the surrounding situation.
Here, he saw several more snow boys and several ice ghost guards.
But because of the presence of Ice Eevee, their attraction to Naoki is no longer that great.
After looking around, Naoki found no sign of Ice Eevee.
After thinking for a while, he rode on Gulton again and said to it: "Go and have a look below!"
"Ah gah!"
So Luton screamed, spread his wings, and began to glide under the frost-wiped hand.
Soon, they fell into the valley at the bottom of the cliff.
This place is also covered with white snow, but because it is blocked by tall cliffs, the temperature here is not as cold as above.
There are many tall pine trees growing in this valley, as well as some cold-resistant vegetation.
Near those pine trees, Naoki saw several seasonal deer and budding deer in winter form.
The Sprouting Deer also discovered him, but the Pokémon's temperament was quite docile, so they just looked here from a distance and did not get closer.
Naoki didn't pay attention to them. He raised his head and looked upward. After confirming that it was facing the Frost-wiped Hand, he began to search around.
Soon, he discovered a cave behind an inconspicuous snowdrift.
Zhi Shu's eyes lit up and he thought: "This should be the cave where Ah Meng said he found Ice Eevee!"
He raised his feet and walked towards the cave. He wanted to run directly in, but in his mind, he thought of the scene of Ah Meng breaking into the cave and being chased by a tundra bear, so he couldn't help but stop and stood at the entrance of the cave to look inside.
This cave seems to be very large, with no end as far as the eye can see, and there seems to be a fork inside.
"Guluton, have you sensed the aura of any powerful Pokémon?" Naoki asked.
Hearing this, Luden sniffed it carefully, then shook his head: "Ah, geez."
No? Does this mean that the Pokémon living in this cave is not home?
It had been snowing before, and it stopped just now. That Pokémon might have gone out to look for food.
"Go in and take a look before we talk!"
Naoki began to move deeper into the cave.
The scale of this cave is very large and cannot be seen from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you can feel a deep atmosphere.
The cave is deep, and after walking for a long time, there is a fork in the road ahead.
Standing in front of the fork in the road, Naoki fell into deep thought.
Where to go?
He chose a random path and continued deeper. The cave was extremely silent, and his and Gullton's breathing could be heard clearly.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a few ticking sounds of running water.
At this moment, Gu Luton seemed to have discovered something and looked at the fork in front that led downwards.
"Ah gah?"
Naoki was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
So Leden nodded his head and led the way.
After walking for about ten minutes, after passing through a long and dark passage, the space in front suddenly became brighter.
This seems to be a secret underground cave.
Stalactites like ice cones hang from the top of the cave, and not far in front is a dark blue lake exuding white cold air.
In the center of the lake, there is an "island in the lake", on which stands a crystal blue ice rock.
Therefore, Luton's eyes turned to the ice rock.
It felt a huge amount of ice energy from above!
Naoki also looked there.
Huh? What it is?
He rode on Guluton, and Guluton jumped to the island in the lake.
Just as Naoki was about to take a closer look at the rock, a cold cry suddenly came from behind.
"Buyi!"
