He knows Pokémon better than me.

After several days of intense training in the icy terrain, Ash finally saw Mr. Mime again.

Morning, inside the Arena.

Mr. Mime looked a bit tired; his exercise levels over the past few days were probably no less than those of his other Pokémon.

"Perfect! This Mr. Mime doll is perfect, you can have it!"

Ash quickly took out the feathers from the Galar Articuno and handed them over.

"Bari?"

The Mr. Mime looked on curiously, and before even touching it, it already sensed a strange and sinister aura.

The moment it was held in his hand, a profound and rich spiritual power surged up.

Others may experience mild dizziness and a feeling of stiffness, as if they have been subjected to frozen vision.

But for Mr. Mime, it was an excellent tonic, sweeping away the fatigue of the past few days and making him feel refreshed.

"This feather suits you perfectly!"

Only after a moment of realization did Xiaozhi react with delight.

Yes, Galar Articuno is a Psychic/Flying type bird, and it uses Ice Sight.
This perfectly matches Mr. Mime's superpower and ice attribute.

"Bari!"

Mr. Mime looked at Ash gratefully, and finally couldn't help but give him a big hug.

This treatment is worlds apart from what its predecessor received!
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it~"

Ash smiled, then suddenly remembered Lucario and Shaymin, who were still working in the castle. He should find some gifts to bring back to the two of them.

The Mr. Mime then carefully put the feather away.

The feather seemed to possess a magical power; as soon as it approached the ice crystals on its chest, it automatically adhered to them, like a feather pendant, which saved a lot of trouble.

However, Mr. Mime isn't taking a break today; rather, the aquarium's short-term renovation is complete, and he specially invited Ash to visit the Heart Aquarium.

"Oh, okay!"

Ash readily agreed, as his Galar team could take a day off today.

Although Sonia left early, it's not a big problem; this time, we can invite Magua to go together.

Magua's room was next door, still a mess of wires in the live stream room, with various gift packages scattered haphazardly.

"An aquarium? Great!"

Having just woken up from bed, rubbing his eyes and his messy hair, Magua immediately widened his eyes and agreed upon hearing the invitation.

Then she went to wash up and get dressed. She combed her blonde hair upwards, put on pointed-rimmed glasses, and instantly exuded the aura of an online celebrity streamer.

The two, along with the Mr. Mime in a suit, arrived at the other side of town, the Oceanarium next to the coastline, in less than fifteen minutes, after leaving the Battle Arena.

There was already a queue at the entrance early in the morning.

It was incredibly popular before, especially the Dynamax performance, which attracted a lot of viewers. Then it suddenly closed for renovations, which lasted for three days.

Many people are still complaining.

"The data usage is pretty good, isn't it?"

Magua pulled down his sunglasses and said with a smile that several tourists recognized him and immediately gathered around to take photos with him.

Ash noticed that the most prominent sign on the sign, which originally read "Galarian Dynamax Show," now had an additional line of text in the bottom right corner—

"This is not an actual Dynamax; please use your own judgment."

However, the text was very small and almost the same color as the signboard, so it was impossible to see unless you looked closely with a magnifying glass.

"Bari~"

The Mr. Magic mascot grinned. As long as it wasn't illegal, it was all normal promotional tactic. Now, the Mr. Magic mascot was the honorary manager of the aquarium, so there was no need to queue. He led the two directly in through a side door.

Xiao Zhi's first impression of the aquarium hadn't changed much.

The temperature rose slightly by five or six degrees, unlike before when the air conditioning was so cold it felt like stepping into an ice cave.

The surrounding decor remains unchanged; this short-term renovation only affects the Pokémon performances, everything else is the same.

"Those geometric snowflakes, they were taken down, huh? Hmm, wait a minute?"

Ash looked up at the dome, where many "geometric snowflakes" were still hanging. However, with the power of Aura, he could tell that about two-thirds of them were decorations, not real Pokémon.

"Bari, bari~!"

Beside him, the Mr. Mime began to explain.

Only one-third of the geometric snowflakes are left hanging on it, and they are rotated in three shifts, which is perfectly acceptable for the geometric snowflakes.

Abuse and exploitation are prohibited, but while rectification is necessary, one cannot simply stop working altogether.
As for the length of the workday, that will be determined by Ms. Meirong, an expert in ice-attribute techniques.

Xiao Zhi nodded. That makes sense.

Following the flow of people, we continued forward. This time, the Nine-Tailed Fox on the display stand had finally washed away its dark blue paint and returned to its original golden fur.

There's no need to deliberately imitate the Alola Ice Ninetales; the Kanto Ninetales also has its own strengths.

"Fox Cry~!!"

It spewed scorching flames at a thick, enormous ice pillar. After several rounds of burning, the outer shell of the ice pillar melted and became much softer.

Two Alolan Sandslashers immediately rushed forward, and this time the ice spikes on their backs were no longer injected with colorful dyes.

"Drink and wear!!" "Drink and wear!!"

Wielding its sharp claws, it relentlessly cleaved and chopped at the softened ice pillar.

Before long, a lifelike ice sculpture of Alolan Ninetales was carved out, drawing applause and cheers from the surrounding audience.

"Bari!"

Seeing the audience's reaction, the Mr. Mime breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Indeed, as long as you dare to imagine it and can showcase the Pokémon's inherent abilities, it can be captivating.

Burning ice sculptures doesn't seem out of place at all with an ice and snow aquarium!

Of course, the elegant and gorgeous Alolan Ice Ninetales remains a major selling point.

Mei Rong has already used her connections to contact a friend in the Alola region to help find an Alola-type Vulpix and transport it over.

Using an Ice Stone, even in a foreign land, Vulpix will evolve into Ninetales.

But it will take some time.

Even in Alola, wild Vulpix are very hard to find.

"Uh, okay."

Ash pursed his lips; what he really wanted to say was that if it were the Alola region, he could also help call for teammates.

The group continued walking forward and arrived at the Sea Lion's booth—

Previously, two sea lions were balancing the seal ball on their heads like a rubber ball, but this time the situation has changed somewhat.

"Seal!"

The round seal ball was in the center, creating an ice ball above its head, while the two sea lions were tossing each other around, playing a game of tossing the ice ball.

During this period, Seal Ball continuously produced ice pucks, each one larger in diameter than the last, and the scale of the puck-throwing game became increasingly fierce.

Even the sight of the ice hockey puck falling and shattering into countless pieces is quite a spectacle! (End of Chapter)
