What Karl Himmi mentioned was undoubtedly a completely unfamiliar word. There is no move or natural phenomenon called "Ice Explosion" in the world, but when the boy said this word, the doubts that had been buried in his heart not long ago suddenly emerged from Xiaoye's mind.
She remembered that on the eve of the snowstorm battle, a boy named "Alon" who lived in Bailang Town at the foot of the mountain encountered an incredible thing - he suddenly encountered a blizzard while walking in the mountains, and then he and his partner were obsessed with each other. Chun Wa lost consciousness together. On the night when he was rescued back to the town, although Alon's body was fine, Mizui went crazy without warning, causing a scene in the square and alerting the police.
Xiaoye still clearly remembers that weird ice edge protruding from the little body of the Mi Lun baby, looking like a parasitic monster on its body.
After the chaos subsided, trainer Alon should be held responsible for the serious damage caused to public facilities and shops in the square. The police's attitude was originally very severe, but after a series of investigations, they never mentioned it. As for the punishment, Aaron was even allowed to go home and rest instead of staying in detention. No doubt the change in their attitude was due to Miss Joy's arrival at the police station and a piece of information given to them.
At that time, Xiaoye and Aron, as the parties involved, could not move around at will, and they only vaguely heard Miss Joy mentioning the words "Himami Family". Thinking back to the discussion between the young people of the Himi family that she witnessed when she first arrived in Bailang Town, Xiaoye vaguely guessed something.
Carl and Clive saw that the contestant who suddenly came to the door did not ask blankly "What is an ice blast?" He just thought for a moment and then asked calmly: "August 6th - the two of you will appear in Bailang Town on that day just to investigate this matter, right?"
The two teenagers from the Himi family looked at each other.
Karl smiled and replied frankly: "Just as you thought."
The three of them sat down at the table, surrounded by a warm fire.
The young man named Clive spoke very little. After a simple greeting, he put on an unhappy expression and stopped talking. This was completely different from the arrogant and bullying character in the competition script - of course , or it could be that the poor little bullied person in the script is usually the one who bullies others, so that the unhappy classmates have written all over their faces that they don’t want to talk.
Compared with his companions who fell into isolation anytime and anywhere, Karl was much more talkative and could tell Xiaoye what had happened in just a few words.
——At first, everyone thought it was just an accident.
About half a month ago, when the Himi family was busy preparing for the Snowy Battle, one clan member's Pokémon was still asleep until the sun was up.
Since it didn't look like it was physically unwell, and it was indeed a sleepy guy on weekdays, even its trainer didn't take this little abnormality seriously. A few hours later, the Pokémon started to make a fuss without warning - its body was wrapped in twisted ice, and its long legs stretched out like a spider, attacking everything around it indiscriminately.
At that time, the trainer and the Pokémon were in a hidden corner of the valley to set up the competition scene, without any companions. The nearby tribesmen heard the sound and rushed over, but they were still a step too late - the hard ice core surrounding the Pokémon exploded like a bomb, and the resulting storm swept across the entire valley.
The Himi clan members present were all capable trainers, and they were only slightly injured in the explosion. The out-of-control Pokémon is in critical condition and is still dying in the intensive care unit.
The Himi family has lived with Pokémon for generations. When it comes to raising and training ice Pokémon, they are well-deserved experiencers. However, they have never seen this "strange disease" before.
The residents of Fengxue Mountain went to hospitals all over the country and even contacted the Naipulu Island Police Station, but they still couldn't figure it out. Considering that the Snowy Battle was about to start, just when they wanted to put it aside for the time being and concentrate on preparing for the competition, the young people of the Himi family discovered a piece of news.
"The stinging jellyfish living in the Bailang River Reserve was mysteriously frozen" - the news title itself does not seem to have anything to do with the event named "Ice Explosion" by the Himi tribe, but the content mentioned "the ice layer cannot Melted by flames" is exactly the same as the ice explosion incident. Therefore, the first people to discover this matter, Carl and Clive, took the initiative to go down the mountain to investigate. For this reason, they called the Pokémon Center and the police station in Whitecaps Town.
One day later, the news of "Ice spiders causing havoc in Bailang Town Square" hit the headlines of the Orange Islands section, finally making the residents of Fengxue Mountain understand that it was by no means an accident.
"Although we have not yet found the cause of the 'ice explosion', what is certain is that if it is not stopped in time, someone is likely to be injured." Karl looked at the contestants with his bright green eyes, "In Bailang Town The trainer who helped during the "Ice Explosion" in the square did not leave his contact information, so we couldn't ask him anything - but after the incident, we found the trainer of Mizuchi and found out that the Pokémon had Recovering health is very different than being a victim of the first ice blast.”
"——Then, that's what happened at noon yesterday. Your friend's Pokémon showed signs of 'Ice Explosion', but you resolved the disaster, right?"
Facing the smiling eyes of the Himi clansmen, Xiao Ye nodded.
"I understand," she said. "I'm willing to tell you everything I know and how to stop the 'Ice Explosion'."
Adjust the frequency of the waveguide force to be consistent with the object and destroy it with the help of resonance - the principle of "ripple resonance" is not obscure, and many trainers have heard of it. However, since adjusting the frequency is not easy, most Pokémon that have mastered the power of waveguides use this as a concealment technique to "fuse their aura into the environment to avoid detection" rather than as a means of attack.
After briefly describing what they did, the two teenagers from the Himi family looked at each other and seemed to feel a little strange.
"Do you mind demonstrating?" After receiving Xiaoye's affirmative answer, Karl raised his hand again and pushed Clive forward without any "aristocratic demeanor", "Come on, Clive, it's your turn to appear. "
"Do you treat me as a servant?" The unhappy classmate looked at Karl angrily, "You think I will do whatever you say?"
As he spoke, Clive waved his hand angrily and planted an ice pillar on the ground that was almost as tall as a person.
Night:"……"
Isn't this done very quickly?
She decided not to pay attention to the magical communication mode of the two Himis, and reached towards the icicles with her fingers wrapped in faint blue light.
The contestants didn't seem to need any time to brew and adjust. They just touched the surface lightly with their fingertips, and the hard icicles cracked inch by inch and turned into residue with rising mist.
She knew that this method was only applicable to herself, so she put her hand back and added: "I think that strong external force can also destroy the ice core - but it will inevitably hurt the Pokémon inside."
The boys of the Himi family looked at the broken ice on the ground with heavy expressions.
The contestants certainly knew what they were worried about - before Karl could say her thanks, she added, "I might be able to give you some new information."
"On the afternoon of the second day of the competition, I encountered a crazy Panzan in the World of Warcraft Forest and found a micro player on it. On the evening of the third day, some of the contestants' Pokémon lost their minds in the melee. Almost injuring the trainers present. ——And finally, my teammate’s Pokémon showed signs of ice explosion yesterday.”
Xiaoye took out the map from her bag, laid it flat on the table, and clicked on the marks on it.
"After what happened, I asked where the two of them had been, and the location of Chuanshan King was marked on the map."
Looking at the clearly visible handwriting on the map, the boys with ice-colored hair were stunned.
Of course they knew what the results before them meant.
"——So, if this game will continue as usual," the adventurer smiled and looked at the young residents of Fengxue Mountain, "can you let me join you?"
Most of the people born in the Southland Islands have the ability to make decisive decisions - they did not hesitate, and after expressing their gratitude, they set a time to meet again to discuss the action plan in a few words.
In the current crisis, Xiaoye didn't care about the outcome of a small competition, and originally planned to go through the formalities of withdrawing from the competition simply and rudely. Karl heard this but stopped her, claiming that he had a way to make the contestants legitimately get out of the camera without having to withdraw from the competition specifically for this purpose.
Your personal live broadcast room is one of the best in the entire program. Just treat it as the KPI for our annual project. Please be sure to continue to participate - Karl said jokingly.
"Of course, I will inform your friend in advance before doing this, so he won't worry."
Facing Karl's confident and natural look, Xiaoye was immediately confused.
friend? he? Are you talking about Dragon Star... But why does Karl need to specifically notify?
She was about to ask a few more questions when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the fire in the room that was about to go out.
Seeing the firewood put aside, she stepped forward to add firewood to the fireplace. The swaying flames continuously radiate heat, which rarely makes the contestants in the snow-capped mountains feel a little warm.
She took off her hood, turned around and said, "Then we will... eh?"
Seeing the two teenagers across from him suddenly opening their eyes as round as seal balls, Xiaoye's words suddenly got stuck in her mouth, and she didn't know whether she should say them or not.
She looked behind her, then around to make sure there was nothing wrong around her, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
After the surprise, Karl's expression softened.
This young genius on the court has a cheerful and confident temperament, even when he smiles, there is a certain edge. But now, as if he had witnessed something nostalgic, the lingering sharpness in his glazed eyes was replaced by warmth.
He looked at the contestants in front of him - and the flame-colored feather used to tie his hair, and shook his head with a smile.
It turns out to be you. The young man said silently.
The conversation in the cabin didn't last long.
The two NPC actors who still had acting duties quickly said goodbye in a hurry. Seeing that it was still early, Carl said that all nearby cameras had been turned off. Xiaoye decided to seize the opportunity and release the Pokémon one by one to let them move freely for a while.
Since the start of the Snowstorm Battle, Xiaoye's Pokémon have been spending much longer time in the Pokémon Ball than before. The restless elements among them could no longer restrain themselves, and upon seeing this, they immediately started running around the wooden house like they were having fun.
——Of course, there is also one person who crawls underground as if he is having fun.
Northnose is truly a rock-type Pokémon, with a temper and stubbornness as hard as a rock. Even though it had been forced to follow Xiao Ye for many days, it knew that this human Pokémon partner would be difficult to deal with, so it still tried to escape using the ground-escape method passed down from Chao Bei's originator whenever it had the chance. The main force responsible for guarding it, Ghost Stone - this is the task it volunteered for in exchange for ordering a new flavor energy cube once a week - was enjoying himself, his reaction was slow for a beat, until he turned his nose towards the north. His whole body fell into the soil before he rushed over hastily.
The two sides refused to give in to each other, and started a competition between digging holes and mentally strong thoughts. For a while, sparks flew and rocks flew, and the snow boy who was watching curiously was accidentally hit.
"Ouch!!"
Ghost Stone suddenly became anxious, and even let out a roar like a Gyarados across different races, and smashed a long string of shadow balls without any explanation. Chaobei's nose was filled with question marks...or maybe he was shouted at by a voice that ignored his biological structure. After a while, he was pinned down in the snow and unable to move.
If you lose a fight, you must not lose your momentum - North-facing nose stuck in the snow like a seal mold, hissing angrily and scolding the Ghost, while the Ghost showed no sign of weakness and kept making continuous noises that neither humans nor Pokémon could understand. strange noise. Xiaoye and Pichu listened together for a few minutes, and finally picked up Yukidou, covered the little guy's ears and left silently.
Immediately afterwards, after mediating the fight between Riolu and the forest lizard who started fighting each other without saying a word, he stopped the fight between the furious Gyarados and the troublemaker Charizard who had one of his scales burned, and rescued Fei. After trying to climb a tree and running around, she accidentally kicked over a pile of fruit and was chased by a group of Pichus. Xiaoye finally decided to put an end to this early morning for the sake of her own mental health.
Thanks to the reliable little dream monster, the split-up activities throughout the morning no longer caused the Terashima siblings, who were confused by their sense of direction, to get lost in the forest. After finishing their half-day "World of Warcraft Lifeguard" operation, they returned on time and successfully met at the agreed upon location.
"Reporting to the boss, I saved seven monsters today!"
"Boss, boss, I saved nine!"
Lijiu and Long Xing proactively reported their work results to the team leader. Xiao Ye nodded, and then asked after a few skilled commercial compliments, "The contestants haven't discovered who you are, right?"
"certainly!"
The two siblings quickly took out a handful of ice willow leaves and said loudly and forcefully: "We walked on tiptoes to pretend to be tall, covered the lower half of our faces with leaves, and even spoke at the top of our lungs!"
Night:"……"
I want you to hide...
Forget it, okay, that's fine...
While they were chatting, the mist in the forest slowly dissipated.
The sun rose high in the sky, and it was already twelve o'clock at noon.
There were a few gaps in the dark clouds, allowing the sun to penetrate straight in, casting a few rays of light in the dark forest. The beautiful leaves of the ice willow reflect bright spots, almost like stars reflected on the earth.
Deep in the Warcraft Forest, a row of huge figures slowly emerged.
