Pokémon: The Sims

To entertain the two of them, Regice even used his powers to build a large igloo.

An igloo is a unique type of architecture.

Ice walls can protect against cold winds and reflect heat emitted by organisms, thereby increasing the internal temperature.

On this high mountain tundra.

When the outdoor temperature drops to -50 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside the igloo is around -20 degrees Celsius.

It's unclear whether the igloo isolated the aura surrounding Regice's body.

A breeze began to pick up outside the igloo.

The snowflakes and ice crystals falling from the sky began to curve, and the temperature was gradually dropping.

The igloo was completely airtight inside.

If Regice hadn't been unable to control his abilities, the temperature inside the igloo might have risen another 10 or 15 degrees.

Inside the igloo.

"Hey?"

Regice sat on the hard, icy floor and shook his hands.

"It's pretty good, let's leave it at that."

Wu Ge shook his head.

It's just an igloo for temporary accommodation; it doesn't need to be particularly beautiful.

"Meow!"

But Masked Cat doesn't think so.

She was shocked by Regice's power and had him make several ice sculptures that stood inside the house.

"Leji~"

Regice was very happy.

My abilities are finally coming in handy.

"Alright, stop playing around, Masked Cat. We still need to go to Snow Peak City to purchase some supplies."

Wu Ge glanced helplessly at the two Pokémon.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat responded with a comment.

"Hey?"

"The ice is too hard for us, and it's quite cold indoors. We need to go to a human city to get some warm clothes. We'll probably be back in a day or two."

Wu Ge offered an explanation.

These two Grass-type Pokémon need to make some preparations if they want to survive in the igloo for a while.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat are quite strong, so they are indeed less likely to catch a cold.

But living in such low temperatures can indeed be uncomfortable.

If you're not careful, you might catch a cold in just a few days.

Pokémon are not as resistant to harsh environments as humans imagine.

Here's a typical example.

A snow-hat monster once appeared in the animation.

However, this snow-hatted monster developed a fever in the snowy environment.

and.

Wu Ge and his team were unable to replicate the way this snow-hat monster treated its fever.

The snow-hatted monster, while running a fever, kept putting snowballs on its forehead to cool down.

If Wu Ge and Masked Cat had a fever and kept putting snowballs on their foreheads, they might just die from it.

"Leji".

Regice nodded, his mood slightly sour.

I finally made two friends.

They wanted to leave on the very first day they met.

"Don't be so sad. We won't be staying in human cities for long. We'll come back after we've bought what we need."

Wu Ge offered some words of comfort to Regice.

They had no human friends in Snowpeak City.

Therefore, there was nowhere to stay in that city.

Even living under a bridge might attract onlookers.

They were even woken up in the middle of the night by impolite human trainers.

Therefore, for them, the experience of living in a human city is often not as good as the experience of living in the wild.

However, the wilderness environment in the northern region is too harsh.

There was almost nowhere to stay.

If Regice hadn't built an igloo, they might have actually gone to Snowpeak City to find a secluded place to spend the night.

"Leji".

Regice's eyes flickered.

"Oh, right, just leave this bag here for now. Remember to keep an eye on it for me, it's very important."

Wu Ge placed the bag he was carrying on the ground.

Once we leave this area, the wind and snow will become fierce.

This bag is already quite worn out; if it gets blown by a strong wind, the strap will probably break.

Therefore, Wu Ge decided to place the bag next to Regice first.

With Regice watching over it, it certainly won't be stolen or robbed.

"Leji".

Regice swayed.

He will definitely protect the bag!

"Then we'll set off. You wait here and don't wander off. When you're practicing controlling your abilities, remember to practice at the door so you don't damage the igloo."

Wu Ge gave a few more words of advice.

Regice's mental age is not very high, which makes him quite worried.

to be honest.

If this were two hundred years from now...

Any random villain could easily take away this giant ice pillar with just a few words and make Regice serve him for life.

"Leji~"

After Wu Ge and Masked Cat set off, Regice stood at the door of the igloo and waved his arm.

He looked like a child left behind to watch over the house.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat disappeared into the snowstorm.

Regice returned to the igloo and glanced around.

Although the igloo is empty, much like the cave it once was, it feels different now.

The presence of those ice sculptures and that bag made Regice feel that he was not alone.

and.

Wu Ge entrusted the bag to Regice for protection, which made him understand for the first time what it felt like to be trusted.

"Leji".

Regice clenched his fist, turned around, and walked outside the igloo.

Bang!

He plopped down at the doorway, using his enormous body to block the entrance to the igloo.

Every creature that wants to enter the igloo has to get past this huge pillar.

Half a day passed.

The sky, which was already not very clear, became completely gloomy now.

The snowfield was pitch black.

Strange sounds seemed to be coming from the snow in the distance.

Regice glanced in that direction, feeling somewhat uneasy and afraid, but still obediently sat still in the same spot.

He tried his best to shift his attention and focus on practicing controlling the cold air on his body.

He must control his body.

Regice didn't want to hurt anyone, nor did he want Wu Ge's encouragement and trust to be in vain.

His mind gradually calmed down.

The night passed quietly.

Regice didn't sleep all night, but didn't feel sleepy at all.

During the time He woke up for the second time and traveled north, He didn't sleep for a very long time.

What saddened Regice was that, after a whole night, he still hadn't found the trick to controlling the cold.

Look in the direction where Wu Ge and Masked Cat left.

The snow-covered ground was completely empty.

The footprints they left behind yesterday are no longer visible.

Regice raised his hand and touched his head, staring blankly for a moment.

I stood there in a daze for the entire afternoon.

Rumble.

Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and Regice snapped out of his daze and quickly got up.

He looked around, but nothing had changed, and no creatures were near.

Regice stood there, puzzled.

Could it be that he was just imagining things?

Xuefeng City.

Located at the northernmost tip of the Sinnoh region, this city is covered in ice and snow year-round.

Both the houses and the forests surrounding the city were covered with a thick layer of snow.

The entire city presents a silvery-white appearance all year round.

It took Wu Ge and Masked Cat a whole day to get here.

They traveled at almost full speed along the way.

It just took a little longer because we needed to collect herbs and fruits along the way to exchange for items.

"Do you feel it?"

Wu Ge turned to look at the masked cat beside him.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded.
