He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Well, that's pretty much it. In the Pure White Tundra, your main force should actually be Flareon. Of course, Glaceon is also good~"

If you continue practicing Charged Flame Strike, you will naturally be able to use Flame Charge in the future.

However, one Flame Charge wasn't enough.
"As I told you before, your Flareon's ability is Flash Fire, so in battle you can have your Espeon continuously use Mystic Flame on it to increase the Flareon's fire power."

"When it's upgraded to its maximum level and then unleashed a fire-attribute physical attack, even a Snowstorm Horse wouldn't be able to withstand it completely!"

Xiao Zhi explained, while Zhu Bei listened in a daze.

The Xicui region has no systematic combat methods at all; battles are basically fought arbitrarily.

This clumsy method is basically useless against agile Pokémon like Weavile.
However, if it's a slow-moving "big, clumsy" creature like the Snowstorm Horse, then you can use amplification techniques to boost its power to the maximum before attacking.

"So there's another way to do this!"

Zhubei's eyes lit up with a sudden realization: so the ability could be triggered by teammates?!
"I understand, Ash. You've been a great help again!"

She was extremely grateful; it was fair to say that Ash had been incredibly helpful during his stay in Pearl Village.

Biting her lip, Zhu Bei tried to find something she could give as a thank you gift.

Located in pure white permafrost, Pearl Village doesn't really have anything particularly impressive to offer.

Foods like ice carrots, or items like unmelting ice or ice stones.
It doesn't mean much to Ash.

"No need for gifts~ Next time Xiao Guang, or my friend Xiao Zhao, comes here, just please help us entertain him properly~"

Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said casually with a smile.

Hikari will soon be promoted to a five-star member of the Survey Corps, and should be able to solve the problem of the berserk king here.

Zhu Bei nodded solemnly, but as a token of her gratitude, she hurriedly ran back to the village, returning with a lot of things in her hands.

"I understand. But please accept these!"

She gave Ash a lot of the minerals and gems that Team Pearl usually collected in the Pure White Tundra, many of which he didn't know what they were used for.

Unable to refuse, Xiao Zhi simply stuffed everything into his backpack.

After that, Tsubasa went to help her subordinates clean up the mess left by Snowstorm Horse, leaving only Ash and the silent Spirit Horse behind.

"What happened after you met with your old friend?"

Xiao Zhi walked up and asked curiously.

Are you worried about the snowstorm?

But the next moment, a short word popped into his mind.

"Get on."

Xiao Zhi was stunned. Lingyouma's telepathy seemed to have become more proficient, and it could speak fluently.

So he flipped over and straddled the back of the spirit horse, which then slowly began to walk, emitting a low neighing sound.

At the same time, Ash's mind also heard Spirithorn's words:
“I remember everything about the Crown Snowfield, the Snowstorm Horse, and the Calycerin.”

Although the black lightning strike hadn't hit it, the booming sound seemed to have enlightened it.

Xiao Zhi quickly sat up straight, still quite interested in the myths and legends of the Crown Snowfield.

He had already surveyed the Crown Snowfield back in the Galar region. Located in the southern part of the Galar main continent, it required traversing towering mountains and was normally difficult to reach. However, it seemed that a train tunnel was now under construction.
Once the train is repaired, I think I'll be able to get a direct ticket to the Crown Snowfield on this trip back to the Galar region.

As Spirit Horse recounted its story, Ash gained a general understanding of that period of history.

Back then, the Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse were both mounts of the Crown King, helping the latter become the only king of the Crown Snowfield. They were loved and supported by the locals and were known as the King of Abundance!

"The Lord of Plenty?"

Ash blinked. The Crown Snowfield should be a snowfield area like pure white tundra. He found it hard to associate it with "abundance".

"This is the power of the Crowned King, which can make barren, frozen land grow lush forests and crops."

Listening to Lingyouma's explanation, Xiaozhi nodded. Is it a human with the "Power of Abundance"?
"But later, as people's faith in the King of Fertility gradually faded, the power of the Crowned King also declined, becoming increasingly weak. Unable to make the land fertile, more and more people chose to leave this land of abundance."

"In the end, all that remained was a desolate snowfield."

It's stuck in a vicious cycle.

As a tamed being, the Spirit Horse values ​​the powerful kingly strength of the Crowned King most.

As the Calycerin King's strength waned, the Snowstorm Horses, who shared its ideas, broke free from its control and returned to their wild state.

"As for the Queen of the Lace-Crowned Clan, her whereabouts have been unknown ever since."

As Lingyouma recounted history, he murmured with emotion.

Although the Crested King tamed them with "bait" and "reins" back then, after fighting together for many years, he still felt a certain fondness for them.

"After that, Snowstorm Horse and I wandered aimlessly across the Crown Snowfield. If we happened to meet, we would fight each other."

However, without the Crowned Queen, one side could not use its strongest "Star Shatter" and the other side could not use "Snow Spear", so they remained evenly matched.

"I don't know when it started, but I suddenly couldn't find the Snowstorm Horse. So I wandered aimlessly in the wind and snow for hundreds of years, and my memories gradually became blurred."

Later, they suddenly encountered a strange portal in the Crown Snowfield, also known as the "Ultimate Hole".

After traveling to Poni Island in the Alola region, they encountered Ash.

"So this is ah."

Ash, riding on his horse, remarked that during that time, Ultra Woven Points had indeed appeared randomly all over the Alola Islands, and he never expected them to appear in other places as well.

But what puzzled him even more was that the Snowstorm Horse had suddenly disappeared?

"Was it because of the blizzard horse that came to the Xicui region back then?"

Xiao Zhi compared the times and thought they should match up roughly.

First, the King of Abundance declined, and then the two horses broke with him and went their separate ways. This should be the point in time when the current world of Washing Green is happening.

Unlike the Spirit Horse, the Snowstorm Horse had already drifted to other regions.

"Where did the snowstorm horse go?"

Ash scratched his head and then mysteriously disappeared. Given the Snowstorm's snail-like speed, it probably didn't run away.

Or, where have I traveled to this time?
So, are there still wild blizzard horses in the Crown Snowfield of the modern Galar region?
Xiao Zhi was completely confused and couldn't come up with a solution. (End of Chapter)
