Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

After helping the villagers move to a safe area nearby, Ash noticed that Absol had lost its original habitat, and even after the misunderstanding was cleared up, there was still some friction between him and the villagers.

Taking advantage of her Pokémon succubus nature, she quickly defeated Absol, captured it, and took it to Rinka's place to care for.

After receiving the villagers' thanks, the group continued their unfinished journey.

Unbeknownst to Ash, as his fame on the island grew, a woman dressed in a gorgeous long dress and carrying an exquisite parasol also came to Izabe Island following the rumors.

She overheard the diners at a local restaurant in Pulgar discussing the heroic deeds of the hero who had once again saved the entire village, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"The legendary Pokémon, the boy with Pikachu... it seems he's right here."

Chapter 512 Bonnie, the Four Heavenly Kings

"We've reached Litang, the world's highest city—no, I mean, the highest point, Mount Izabe!"

"Wow, the snow scene is so beautiful!"

On a snow-covered mountainside, Xiao Zhi opened his arms wide to welcome the falling snow and let out a happy shout.

After getting lost again and again, they finally reached the last leg of their journey to Itzabeth Island.

After resting briefly at the Pokémon Center, the group will descend the mountain to reach Cyrus Town, the northernmost point of Izabeth Island. From there, they can take a boat, and the journey will take them a day to reach Sootopolis City.

"We've arrived at Hoenn's last gym!"

"Pikachu!"

While Ash and Pikachu were having fun, May and Max looked on helplessly at the energetic Ash, trembling with fear.

"First of all, Ash, the highest point in the world is not Mount Izabeth. Secondly, aren't you cold?"

"Yeah, Xiaosheng and I are freezing."

At this moment, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng were both wearing thick down jackets, their bodies wrapped up like rice dumplings, shivering.

Xiao Zhi was still wearing his usual thin short-sleeved shirt and jacket, jumping around like nothing had happened.

Haruka and Max, who grew up in Hoenn, a region close to the tropics, were incredibly envious of this physique.

There are very few places in the entire Hoenn region where it snows, and Mount Izabe is a rare exception because of its high altitude.

The mountaintops here are covered in snow all year round, and the temperature never exceeds 0 degrees Celsius.

As soon as they stepped into the snow, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng became even less talkative.

"Hehehe, you are too weak. It's just a matter of low temperature. Muscle is not such an inconvenient thing!"

"With just a little bit of energy and the yang energy of a body that has been tempered and refined over time, keeping warm is a piece of cake."

Ash is very dissatisfied with May and the others' current performance.

He had already overcome the cold, which even the Giant of Light could not withstand, through training.

Muscles, strong!

At this moment, Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, and a wave of masculine heat surged through his body. The snow under his feet melted outward from him.

This is heat released from pure muscle movement.

"So warm."

"That's amazing! Is this the pure strength of a real man?"

May and Max quickly ran to Ash's side and hugged him like a hand warmer.

Sure enough, as soon as they got close, they immediately felt a warmth like that of the sun.

Unfortunately, Ash didn't let them hug for long. He quickly ignored their whining, picked up their sleeves, and started walking again.

After all, the weather on the mountain looks like it's getting worse and worse, and a blizzard is expected soon.

We can't linger any longer; we need to get to the Pokémon Center at the top of the mountain to rest as soon as possible.

Also, it's very dangerous when Ash is in a state of boiling Yang energy.

What happens when you put the words "robust young man" and "excessive yang energy" together? Those who understand will immediately know.

It's one thing for Max to hug Ash's arm, but if May hangs on Ash's neck for too long, who knows what the muscular guy might do.

Self-control was defeated by the primal instinct of muscles. How could Ash have such a dream?

Unfortunately, even if Xiaoyao wraps herself up like a dumpling now, it's still the same; that's the power of a strong young man.

Ultimately, it's Xiaoxia and the others' fault for not working hard enough lately. Thirty times a day, what's so unbearable about that!

(Xiaoxia: "Are you serious?!")

Anyway, let's put that aside for now. In the last second before the blizzard hit, Ash and his friends managed to run into the Pokémon Center.

Just before pushing open the door, Xiao Sheng inadvertently caught sight of an ornate parasol that had been solemnly placed beside the door.

"That umbrella looks familiar...it seems like someone's personal umbrella..."

Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng couldn't remember for the time being, and just then his older sister Xiao Yao called for him to come in quickly.

"Hurry up and keep up with Xiaosheng, don't always be so slow."

"Know it!"

He had to put the umbrella aside for now and immediately followed Ash and May to the front desk to ask Nurse Joy for help with check-in.

Fortunately, there are plenty of rooms in the center now, and Ash and his friends checked in smoothly without having to sleep on the floor in the lobby. Haruka just wants to take a nice hot shower as soon as possible.

"You've been registered. With a blizzard approaching, please rest here as much as you like."

"Thank you, Miss Joey."

However, just as Ash and May were about to receive their Pokédexs from Nurse Joy, a small yellow Pokémon suddenly jumped onto the table, dancing and waving its arms.

"Yo-chi-chi".

It was incredibly fast, snatching Ash and May's Pokédex right from Nurse Joy's hands.

At the same time, it mischievously blew a blast of cold air at them. Ash dodged it nimbly, but May couldn't and was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Ah, so cold, so cold, so cold..."

Xiaoyao immediately shook off the thin layer of ice on her body, her big eyes glaring angrily at the small yellow creature in front of her.

What are you doing?!

She lunged forward, trying to snatch her Pokédex back, but unfortunately, she failed several times in a row.

The opponent skillfully dodged Xiaoyao's every move, clearly toying with her.

"Hehehe, yojiji!"

"Ugh, damn it!"

The little yellow creature didn't pay any attention to May at all; while toying with her, its eyes were always on Ash.

Several more bursts of cold air attacked Ash quickly. It seemed that only May was hit by the cold air while Ash easily dodged it, which made Ash very dissatisfied.

"The attack speed is pretty good."

Unfortunately, its agility is simply not enough for Ash.

With a quick display of his agility, Xiao Zhi twisted his body like a snake a few times and easily dodged the blasts of cold air.

Then, with a precise movement, the big hand grabbed the little guy's head and instantly retrieved its Pokédex.

Now everyone finally saw its true colors.

"Ah, this Pokémon is a Snorunt!"

Its body, resembling a yellow ice cream cone, made Xiao Sheng recognize it at a glance.

"Snow Child, why are you stealing other people's things?" Haruka wanted to try again to get her Pokédex back.

Even though Ash grabbed the tip of the Snow Child's head, it was still able to toy with the busty girl.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this little guy?!"

It was like a wobbly loach, impossible to catch, so May had no choice but to use Ash's Pokédex to scan the Snorunt.

[Snowmane, the Snowcap Pokémon. It dwells quietly deep within stalactite caves, and legend says that a home visited by Snowmane will become wealthy.]

"Will I become rich?"

"Wow, this sounds like the Zashiki-warashi story that Mom told me."

Ash and Max both stared at Snorunt with shining eyes.

Only May was still indignant, "But it's not behaving like a lucky Pokémon at all right now, it likes to play tricks on people so much..."

At that moment, Miss Joey came over and said gently.

"Snow Child is actually a wild Pokémon that lives in this area. After I rescued it, it became a regular at the center."

"It appears every time a new customer comes to the Pokémon Center. It has a very mischievous personality and likes to play pranks on everyone."

"So it's a wild Pokémon, and an old acquaintance of this Pokémon Center at that."

"Hey, Snowball, stop being naughty and give May's Pokédex back."

"Yo-yo-yo~".

Upon seeing Miss Joy come over to help calm him down, Snow Child seemed to quiet down considerably.

Ash loosened his grip on Snowman's little pointed hand slightly.

But unexpectedly, Snowball took the opportunity to break free from Ash's big hand and quickly jumped onto May's arm with a grin.

She snatched Ash's Pokédex from her hand again, then smashed open a window and fled into the vast blizzard outside.

Before running away, it made a point of looking back at Ash. Upon seeing this, the muscular man immediately put Pikachu down, jumped out of the window, and chased after it.

"...Ah! Our illustrated guide!"

Just then, the cold wind blowing in through the window stung Xiaoyao's smooth little face, and she realized that the picture book in her hand was gone.

They wanted to follow Ash, but it was too late.

The blizzard outside was too fierce, and Xiaoyao would be blown back by the strong cold wind as soon as she got close to the window, so she had no choice but to close the window quickly.

Everything happened so fast that Miss Joey didn't have time to stop it, and she was now completely bewildered.
