You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 331 Since ancient times, blondes have been proud and arrogant. Could it be that Gadriya...
Snowflake City is the largest city in the western part of Unova.

Calling it a city might be a bit of a stretch.

Compared to the skyscraper-filled metropolis of Feiyun City, there are no dazzling forests of glass curtain walls here.

The tallest building is only a few dozen meters high, an ancient clock tower bearing the marks of time, silently overlooking the vast expanse of brightly colored low-rise houses below.

This unique urban fabric is naturally inseparable from its special geographical location.

After all, it's unrealistic to describe a modern metropolis rising up at the foot of towering, snow-capped mountains as cyberpunk.

However, although the city is not large in size, its landscape is unique.

It's November, and while other places may still be in the throes of autumn, Xuehua City is already covered in a thick blanket of snow.

Looking out, the world is a pure and flawless expanse of white.

Despite its predominantly white color scheme, the buildings in Snowflake City feature strikingly vibrant colors.

Bright yellow walls, ochre-red roof, and sapphire blue window frames.
This reminded Xia Chi of Otomare, the water city in the Hoenn region, which he had visited.

The pace of life here is somewhat similar to that of Odomare—slow and peaceful.

It was as if time itself had slowed down, as if the ice and snow had touched the ground.

The pedestrians on the street walked leisurely, and even the Pokémon beside them seemed unhurried.

The most common are ice-type spirits like Snowman, Dodo Ice, and Geometric Snowflake, which are naturally adapted to the cold. They either frolic in the snowdrifts or quietly lie under the eaves, blending into the snowy landscape.

The second most common attribute is fire-type Pokémon.

However, almost none of them are wild; most are "living heaters" raised by local residents to ward off the extreme cold.

Among them, the most popular are the Tepig and the Flaming Monkey, which are quite unique to the Unova region.

Xia Chi had clearly underestimated the coldness of Xuehua City before arriving, and his clothes were rather thin.

He watched as the locals skillfully held their respective "hand warmer" Pokémon, and he followed suit, reaching out to scoop up Victini, who was floating carefree beside him, and holding it tightly in his arms.

I must say, whether it's its perfectly proportioned size, fluffy and soft down, or its consistently warm body temperature, the Bictini makes for a perfect "hand warmer" experience.

In contrast, Cattleya, who was beside him, had absolutely no need to worry about this.

After all, she was a humanoid divine beast. The biting cold wind and piercing low temperature quietly disappeared when they approached her body. She was still wearing that thin dress, as if she were walking in a courtyard in spring.

In the evening in Snow City, the sky takes on a tranquil and deep blue hue, which is reflected in the warm lights on the ground.

Xia Chi held the warm and cozy Bictini in his arms, with the ethereal and elegant Cattleya beside him, as they walked along the snow-covered street.

Hearing the soft creaking sound underfoot, I felt a long-lost sense of leisure and tranquility that belongs purely to travel.

"Talk about it"

Xia Chi looked around at the low-rise buildings full of local flavor and couldn't help but tease Jia Delia, "Snowflake City can't possibly have your family's luxury hotel business, can it?"

He couldn't imagine what a luxury hotel would look like standing at the foot of this snow-capped mountain.

Upon hearing this, Gadriya glanced calmly at the surrounding scenery, nodded slightly, and said in a flat tone, "Yes, the hotel doesn't have any."

Xia Chi felt a sense of relief. It seemed that even Miss Cattleya's "money power" was ultimately limited by geographical location.

However, just as he had this thought, the young lady suddenly said, "However, there is one in the resort, so we'll stay there for the next few days."

Xia Chi: "."

Do you have businesses everywhere?
I feel like you're the one who most wants to rule the Unova region, right, Miss Cattleya?

However, despite the complaints, being able to enjoy the ultimate in comfort wherever you go is indeed a pretty great feeling.

Xia Chi readily agreed and followed Gadriya to the resort owned by her family.

------

As it turns out, Lady Cattleya never plays low-level games.

The location, design, and decor of this resort are all top-notch.

It blends seamlessly into the environment at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, preserving the charm of traditional architecture while providing an ultimate modern comfort experience.

The villas where the Summer Pool is staying at the Cathara Resort are the most luxurious and top-tier villas in the resort.

Sitting in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, outside the window is the majestic, snow-capped Giant Mountain Range, seemingly within reach.

Inside the window, the flames in the fireplace danced, radiating a lazy, warm glow.

Enjoying a dinner meticulously prepared by the resort's chef in such an environment is truly a wonderful experience.

After dinner, the sky outside the window was completely dyed dark blue.

Snowflake City has no bustling nightlife, and at some point, a heavy snowfall began to fall, accompanied by howling winds.

Even someone as energetic as Sister Fa has temporarily given up on the idea of ​​going out for an adventure tonight.

The whole family of elves were now huddled together in the living room by the huge fireplace, which had a distinctly medieval feel.

Inside the fireplace, the burning firewood crackled softly, and the orange-red flames danced, filling the entire space with warmth and light.

The elves were either playing and frolicking or meditating with their eyes closed, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.

After taking a shower, Cattleya came over wearing a simple nightgown and sat down next to Xia Chi.

Her wet, golden hair clung to her snow-white skin, appearing even more exquisite in the warm firelight, like someone who had stepped out of a painting.

The Metagross behind her was pretending to be a hairdryer, drying her hair. Gadria yawned lazily and asked, "The coronation ceremony is in a little over two weeks. When do you plan to wake Reshiram?"

Although the young lady didn't directly urge him, her words implied that she was being urged.

For Gadalia, this was already a very restrained approach.

If it were someone else, they might have just given a single instruction.

The person being dominated might actually enjoy it.

Xia Chi had just finished the Twin Dragons Gym, so he didn't have a strong interest in this Snowflake Gym.

Since Gadria has said so, we should give her face.

Xia Chi pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, let's set off for the Dragon Spiral Tower tomorrow."

Better sooner rather than later.

We still need to go to the underwater ruins afterwards, so time is quite tight.

Cattleya nodded.

Although she didn't say anything, her micro-expressions showed that she was quite satisfied with Xia Chi's concession.

The Dragon Spiral Tower is not located within Snowflake City.

Unlike in the game's storyline, its actual existence is quite secretive, hidden in a place deep in the snow-capped mountains. It was Shaka who told him its exact location.

To prevent this white hero from getting lost in the snowy mountains, Shaka even lent him his own Salamence.

Regarding benevolence and righteousness.

Salamence seemed to adapt quickly to the atmosphere of this temporary family.

Just two days ago it was fighting fiercely on the field, but now it's playing hide-and-seek with Bankiras, Victini, and Vibrating Wing.

The rules are roughly: Bictini hides, flaps wings and searches.

The two enormous pseudo-gods naturally became Victini's playground.

The area under the wings of the Salamence, and even under the thick tail of the Raven, are good hiding places for Victini.

Even so, in order to ensure that he could beat Fa Jie, this guy still cheated in the end.

It silently climbed onto the broad and steady back of the Martial Arts Bear Master, who was resting with his eyes closed, and perfectly concealed himself by taking advantage of the Martial Arts Bear Master's calm and steady aura.

As a result, the flapping wings missed their target, and after circling the Salamence and the Labyrinth several times, they still couldn't find any trace of Victini.

When Bictini peeked out from behind the martial arts bear master triumphantly, Fa Jie, realizing she had been tricked, bared her little fangs in anger.

The ghost-type energy around him fluctuated, transforming into a pinkish-purple shadow that angrily chased Victini around the room, demanding an explanation.

In an instant, the once peaceful and cozy living room was turned into chaos by these two little guys.

Meanwhile, Martial Arts Master Xiong, who was in the center of the noise, remained as still as a meditating monk, not even lifting his eyelids, as if he had completely blocked out the noise from the outside world and was immersed in his own martial arts world.

Finally, the Magical Masked Cat couldn't stand it anymore. It swung out two vines, precisely and gently wrapping around Victini, who was running around the room, and the relentlessly pursuing Winged Hair, pulling them back to the open space in front of the fireplace.

This farce finally came to an end.

Gadriya stared in a daze at the bustling and vibrant scene before her, the firelight dancing on her delicate profile.

She glanced subtly at Xia Chi, who was leisurely leaning against Latias and scrolling through his phone, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

It's true that a trainer's Pokémon reflects their trainer's personality.

However, this noisy yet strangely reassuring scene seems quite nice?
The Metagross behind her, who was using its superpowers to precisely control the airflow to dry Cattleya's hair, keenly observed the change in her emotions and was slightly taken aback.

It seems like it's been a long time since the trainer has felt this genuinely happy.
------

In Xuehua City, it gets dark early and light comes on late.

The next day, when Xia Chi got up for his morning exercise according to his unwavering biological clock, the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten with a hazy, fish-belly white, making the huge outline of the snow-capped mountains look like a lurking beast.

Cattleya's biological clock is also very punctual.

Xia Chi hadn't found her in the living room before he went into the training room for his morning exercise.

When he returned, drenched in sweat, took a hot shower, and walked into the dining room feeling refreshed, the young lady was already sitting at the table, elegantly enjoying her breakfast.

This feels just like a recurring NPC.
Of course, given the character model of Gadria, it's unlikely that any game company would waste such a gift by turning her face into an NPC.

The two were already quite familiar with each other, so Xia Chi unceremoniously sat down next to her, grabbed a piece of crispy-looking toast, and ate it with local raspberry jam.

Then, she casually handed a piece of cake that Ponpo, who was sitting quietly and obediently to the side, to Ponpo.

"Shall we set off after we finish eating?"

Xia Chi asked casually as he ate.

He was referring, of course, to the plan to go to the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Cattleya gently wiped her mouth with a napkin, nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Whatever you say, it's up to you."

"It's settled then. We'll pack up and leave after we finish eating."

Xia Chi made the decision decisively.

"correct."

As if suddenly remembering something, Gadriya raised her hand and gently brushed aside a strand of golden bangs that had fallen across her forehead. She looked at Xia Chi with a seemingly casual gaze and tried her best to sound nonchalant.

"I had someone bring some warm clothes over, why don't you try them on in a bit?"

Xia Chi was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

It's likely that the way he cuddled with Bictini for warmth yesterday evening caught Cattleya's eye, which is why she specially prepared warm clothes for him.

A warm feeling welled up in Xia Chi's heart. He looked at Gadriya, nodded, and smiled, "To have you, a young lady, think of me and even send me clothes, I must be receiving a unique kind of treatment, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gadria's face instantly returned to its usual coldness, and she said expressionlessly, "You don't want it? Then I'll have Alakazam burn it right away."

"Yes, yes, of course I want it!"

Seeing that she seemed about to get angry, Xia Chi quickly knew when to stop and dared not joke with this arrogant weirdo anymore.

"I don't have your powerful superpowers protecting me. If I really went into the mountains wearing this, it's hard to say whether I could come out. You've really given me a helping hand in my time of need, Miss Cattleya!"

The exaggerated joke softened the feigned coldness on Cattleya's face.

She turned her face slightly away, lowered her head, and continued to eat her breakfast in small bites, only giving a soft "hmm" and repeating, "You can try it later."

Xia Chi originally thought that the "thick clothes" that Jia Deliya mentioned were probably just a few down jackets or thick mountaineering clothes.

However, when the resort's attentive staff kept pushing long clothes racks, resembling small mobile wardrobes, into the living room, without any sign of stopping...
He knew he had underestimated Cattleya's financial power again.

"Sister, I'm all alone."

Xia Chi couldn't help but facepalm, and complained helplessly, "I can't possibly wear all of these!"

Caldelia raised her eyes and said calmly, "I didn't know what style or design you would like, so I had a few extra sent over. Just choose the ones that fit you."

Xia Chi looked at the clothes that were almost filling the living room, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

You call this "a little bit"?
He sighed helplessly, picked up a thick and simple-looking coat from the nearest hanger, and said, "This one will do. If I have to try them on one by one, will I even be able to go to the Dragon Spiral Tower today?"

Caldelia naturally had no objection to this, and nodded slightly: "Whatever you say."

It has to be said that Gadria is a top-tier modeling genius blessed by God, and Xia Chi is not far behind.

His years of martial arts training have given him a well-proportioned and upright physique, making him a perfect clothes hanger. This coat, made of excellent quality, is both elegant and sophisticated.

When he changed his clothes and came out of the room, even Cattleya's gaze lingered on him for a couple of seconds longer than expected.

Xia Chi straightened his collar, feeling the comfort and warmth of his clothes, and smiled at Cattleya, "Alright, all geared up, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Bictini, who was still playing and frolicking in the sea of ​​clothes hangers, immediately popped out of a pile of sweaters like a little cannonball.

She skillfully grabbed the collar of Xia Chi's coat to secure herself, then raised a small paw and called out energetically, "Tini~"

【Let's go~】
