Mentioning Lance's sore spot.
He displayed a grimacing and pained expression.
He muttered under his breath.
"If it weren't for someone teaching her the 'Dragon Slayer Shell' tactic..."
"Ahem." Natsuhiko coughed.
Even without him, Kona would have discovered it, it was just a matter of time, right?
"What are you planning for the next few days? You're not just going to stay here, right?"
Masterful change of topic.
"Don't you want to go out and explore? See the unique customs and traditions of the Unova Region?" Lance asked somewhat surprised.
Natsuhiko pointed to the computer in front of him, the meaning was clear.
Lance showed a look of understanding.
"A rare trip to the Unova Region, I plan to visit Aindoak, said to be the origin place of the 'Founding Heroes' legend of the Unova Region, and now coincidently hosting the Winter Festival, should be interesting."
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone, adding:
"And then there's Sheba; he's also in Unova, he told me the Angry Steamed Bun in Aindoak is particularly delicious, so I have to try it."
Sheba...
The future Fighting-type Elite of the Kanto Region?
Indeed a person who loves to travel around.
"You guys go ahead."
Natsuhiko wanted to quickly finish his paper.
The alliance has already delivered the things to Suiyi Town.
Now the alliance knows his identity, the urge for manuscripts didn't go through Sakuragi, but directly to him.
Though it's not that fast to urge him.
But Natsuhiko understands a truth well.
The more you write, the more you earn.
After chatting a bit more, Natsuhiko hugged his computer and returned to his room with his little companions.
Nesting in the cozy bed tapping the keyboard.
Nothing could be more comfortable than this.
Couldn't help reminiscing the comfortable life of a homebody.
The weather in Twin Dragons City is getting colder, maybe it'll snow in the coming days.
On the bed.
"Eevee~"
With sleepy eyes, Eevee couldn't help but shiver, touching her tail.
"Eevee?!"
Ice crystals?!
Snowing?
No, right now they are indoors.
Turning her head, she discovered Vulpix sleeping right beside her.
With her mouth breathing out towards her butt.
Eevee:...
Instantly felt much more awake.
Hesitantly glanced at Infernape sleeping warmly on the other side, recalling the experience of her scorched fur, still choosing to give up.
Looked again at Natsuhiko who was still hard at work, decided not to disturb him.
Sidled towards Togekiss.
The weather got cold, and rapidly so.
The Pokémon, especially those little ones, were somewhat unaccustomed.
When Eevee arrived beside Togekiss, she happened to bump into Latios who was also cozying up.
The drowsy eyes of the two Pokémon met.
Instinctively snuggling up to Togekiss.
"Eevee~~"
"Oss~~"
The two little ones squinted their eyes.
Instantly, it became warm.
Eevee mischievously hid her tail under Togekiss's wing, feeling her butt gradually regain its warmth, contentedly sleeping again.
This made Togekiss, who was sleeping soundly, shiver, almost waking up from the chill.
Just had a dream about skiing in the snowy wilderness.
While Natsuhiko was hesitating whether to turn on the heater.
Crack, crack, crack—
He suddenly noticed ice crystal snowflakes had formed on the window.
Covering the window frame.
Looking outside, the entire Twin Dragons City was shrouded in thin mist, and many houses had frosty windows.
The streets, which were originally somewhat quiet, were disrupted by the occasional sound of air conditioning units.
Closed the laptop.
"The temperature, is already abnormally low."
Cautiously got out of bed, standing by the window, even faintly able to feel the cold seeping through the window.
Looking towards the west.
The cold air like mist, hazily stretching infinitely.
Why does it feel like Twin Dragons City isn't safe either?
Perhaps Plasma Team has already clashed with Kyurem?
That night.
Natsuhiko spent it in the warmth after turning on the heater and adding an extra blanket.
...
...
"Weren't you not going?"
Sitting on Dragonite's back, wearing an extra layer of clothes, Lance watched Natsuhiko flying beside him and couldn't help but ask.
When outside, Lance was still very mindful of his appearance.
No matter how cold, he only added clothes underneath, with his cape showing no signs of being taken off.
"Going to take a look isn't impossible."
The corner of his eye glimpsed at Twin Dragons City behind him, even though the morning sun had come out, it still showed no intention of dispersing the chill enveloping the city.
Things aren't right, time to slip away.
Otherwise, wait for Plasma Team controlling Kyurem and prematurely enact the freezing of the entire Twin Dragons City.
Or wait for the enraged Kyurem to appear, inadvertently using its power to freeze Twin Dragons City.
Either it's going to be frozen, might as well leave early.
However, Natsuhiko still called Xia Ka in the morning, alerting him to the abnormal cold enveloping Twin Dragons City.
Hoping he, wielding the 'Fusion' Magic Card, would be vigilant.
Having a companion on the road, Lance was still quite happy.
The two chatter leisurely.
Aindoak is located in the area between Snowflake City and Twin Dragons City.
With vast forests and mountains and rivers, and Snowflake City isn't too far from Twin Dragons City, with the flying speed of their Pokémon, they can reach there in a few hours.
Watching below, the forest already covered in snow.
"Tsk, though it's snowing here, why does it feel a bit warmer than Twin Dragons City?"
