I got the Pokémon

Chapter 198 Snow Mountain and Three Challenges

Seeing that Xiao Dan had climbed more than ten meters, Xia You stopped delaying and started climbing up using both hands and feet.

Although the height of the Naipuru volcano looked very scary, when Xia Youzhen put aside distracting thoughts and seriously conquered it, she felt calmer.

Although his movements are a little clumsy and his speed is not as agile as Xiao Dan's, his strategy is to play steadily, step by step, and not allow himself to make any mistakes.

And with the secret protection of Ghost Stone, there is no need to worry about falling to death if you slip and fall.

At this time, with the sound of the track rumbling in her ears, Nazi took the cable car and slid past to the top of the mountain.

Xia You turned around and saw that through the cable car glass, she could be seen waving her hand gently to him.

"Come on, I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain."

Even though it was just a simple words of encouragement, Xia You became very energetic instantly. Every time she climbed, her physical strength seemed to be endless!

And after the initial unfamiliarity, he slowly caught up with Xiao Dan!
The distance between the two also became closer and closer, and finally they were able to keep pace.

Twenty minutes later, when they climbed halfway up the mountain, Xiao Dan stopped and offered to take a rest.

Originally, Xia You had plenty of energy and wanted to climb to the top of the mountain in one go, but Xiao Dan was a professional after all, so after thinking about it, she chose to follow his advice.

"call…"

Sitting down on a flat rock, Xia You took a long breath and looked into the distance.

A few white clouds were floating beside them, moving slowly with the breeze. They were so close that they seemed to be within reach if they stretched out their hands slightly.

The current location of the two of them should be the place surrounded by clouds and mist that he saw before landing on Naipulu Island.

The air here is fresh and the scenery is excellent. You can have a complete view of the sea in the distance and the island forest at your feet, which makes you feel relaxed and happy!
And the most important thing is that after climbing here with bare hands, Xia You feels a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that cannot be described in words!

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Dan smiled and said: "For someone who is climbing without equipment for the first time, you did a good job, but you have to be careful next. From here on, although the slope becomes gentler, the temperature will increase." It’s going to drop steeply and get extremely cold!”

Nodding, Xia You said: "No problem, let's go."

As Xiao Dan said, after they rested for a few minutes and passed halfway up the mountain, they no longer needed to climb for the rest of the journey. Instead, they could continue climbing on foot. However, as the height increased, the air became colder and colder, even when breathing , but also avoid cold wind blowing directly into your mouth!
After walking for another ten meters or so, snow gradually began to appear under our feet, and snowflakes began to fall in the air!
It feels like the weather has suddenly changed from summer to winter!
After climbing for so long, Xia You still didn't know how many meters the altitude was here. When he asked Xiao Dan, Xiao Dan shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Actually, this mountain is not particularly high. It's just because of the weather that the top of the mountain is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, so the weather is so changeable!"

Just like this, they walked several hundred meters up through the thick snow and finally reached the top of the mountain.

At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, even affecting their sight.

Xia You's fingers and calves were already a little sore due to exerting force for a long time, and she had just sweated all over. She didn't feel anything at first, but now after reaching the top of the mountain, the snowflakes poured down on her, and she suddenly felt a bit biting!
Taking advantage of the gaps in the snowflakes, he also saw dozens of geysers erupting in the thick snow on the top of the mountain.

In the distance, Nazi, who had climbed to the top of the mountain first, quickly walked out of a small wooden cabin next to the cable car.

She was covered with a thick red blanket that she found somewhere, and when she came to Xia You's side, she put another blanket on Xia You's body.

In an instant, with the protection of this thick down, Xia You finally no longer felt cold.

On the other side, Xiao Dan, who was completely ignored, couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this scene.There are obviously two people here, why can't you bring me one as well, and this is my blanket...

Shaking his head helplessly, he could only enter the wooden house by himself, took a blanket, and put it on himself.

When he walked back to Xia You, the look on his face was full of confidence again.

"Congratulations, you are qualified."

After saying this sudden congratulation, Xiao Dan originally thought that Xia You and Na Zi would be surprised, but he saw that their expressions were as usual, without any signs of surprise!

"I've guessed it a long time ago." Xia You said with a smile, "Actually, you are the leader of this Naipulu Gym, right?"

A deep sense of frustration arose in Xiao Dan's heart. He was silent for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "What? It turns out you already know it. You are so smart. Yes, I am the Eastern Star of the Southern Cross. The leader of Naipuru Gym—Xiao Dan!”

Having said this, he turned to look at Nazi and asked hopefully, "Miss, have you also guessed my identity?"

Looking at Nazi again, there was still no change in her expression. She just glanced at him without saying a word.

After learning his identity, he was not as shocked as he imagined!

In fact, after being together for so long, and adding some small details, Nazhi also vaguely guessed Xiao Dan's identity, but even if he is the owner of the museum, what can he do?
I really don’t know why a gym leader from a remote island who is not part of the elite alliance would mention her identity in front of the gym leader of Golden City, the most prosperous city in the Kanto region.
Seeing that Na Zi was still unmoved, Xiao Dan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, first of all, welcome to the Naipulu Gym. After experiencing the initial test, I agree to compete with you."

As he spoke, Xiao Dan held out three fingers: "The competition at Naipulu Gym is divided into three rounds. As long as you can win two of the rounds, your challenge will be considered successful. So, first of all, the first round. It’s a hot water-freezing contest!”

As if to cooperate with him, a crack next to it suddenly erupted. In an instant, a water column several meters high sprayed into the air.

And it is not difficult to see from its billowing heat that the water temperature must be very hot even on this icy peak!
"Icing game?"

It seems that just like when Xiaozhi competed in the anime, the competition events here have not changed much.

only…

Xia You touched his chin and asked, "But I don't have an ice Pokémon, so what should I do?"

Xiao Dan crossed his shoulders and shook his head pretending to be regretful: "Then there's nothing you can do. I can only count you as having failed in the first competition."

"Does this count as a failure?" Xia You was stunned, "Can't we switch to other projects? I think besides me, there must be many trainers who don't have ice Pokémon coming here to challenge, right? Doesn't everyone have to be challenged? Is the verdict a failure?"

"No." Xiao Dan laughed, "This is my rule, you must abide by it!"

Seeing his firm attitude, Xia You couldn't help but frown.

The number of Pokémon he currently has is still too small, and the attributes are not comprehensive. It is easy to face such an embarrassing situation.

But losing without a fight is not his style.

Taking out a super ball from his waist, Xia You said helplessly: "In this case, I can't hide it anymore. It seems that next time, I can only let this guy make an exception!"
