Chapter 352 Arriving at the Crown Snowfield, great changes have taken place in Nimo and the other three!

They were two boys in hospital gowns, and they looked to be no older than ten years old, too old to even receive initial Pokémon.

No.

Even if a sick person gets a starting Pokémon, it would probably be difficult for him to travel or go on adventures.

The living environment in the wild is incomparable to that in the city, and the energy required as a trainer in Pokémon battles is something that patients cannot bear.

Although they were both born and raised in Galar, and even though they came from different cities, the hair colors of the two boys were surprisingly different.

The boy who was obviously older and had a more mature expression had short brown hair, while the other child, who was thinner and didn't even dare to run fast when playing, had very eye-catching golden hair.

Luo Mu's gaze shifted away from the two boys in hospital gowns and looked up to a higher place.

Behind the small courtyard built along the street is a white wall with a plaque that reads "Wooden Pole Medical Sanatorium".

Luo Mu showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Speaking of which, judging from the scenery he saw along the way.

The quiet and leisurely atmosphere of Mugan Town, the environment and climate are very suitable for recuperation. There is also Hualang Town nearby, which is keen on running ranches and is a neighboring town, so nutritional supplements can be supplied at any time.

It would make sense to build a sanatorium here.

In the courtyard, under the care of the nurse, the brown-haired boy Tommy and his friend the blond boy John got a precious opportunity to get some fresh air.

The two children who had been stuck in the ward for a long time especially cherished this time and started playing with the toys in their hands.

The toy in John's hand was a fire-breathing dragon figurine that was only slightly larger than his little hand, while the toy in Tommy's hand was an aluminum steel dragon.

Tommy and John live in the same ward. Tommy is from Suchuan Town, while John is a native of Mugan Town.

Because he thinks he is older than John, even though he also likes the Charizard toy in John's hand and admires Champion Dante as much as John does, Tommy still gives the Charizard to John and chooses to take care of this "brother" who is weaker than him.

However, after playing for a while without running vigorously, John's breathing began to rapid.

John clutched his chest and took deep breaths of air, but his throat emitted a broken tone like a broken organ.

This made Tommy and the nurse on the side instantly nervous, and they took John back to the sanatorium building in anxiety.

On the side, Luo Mu, who had been standing on the street and looking at that place for just two minutes, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

I seem to have seen the two sick children in Galar before.
But this was only a temporary stop after all, and Luo Mu sighed softly as if expressing regret.

Even in this world, getting sick is inevitable.

Even though the technology tree is a bit crooked, the Pokémon world should be very advanced in terms of medical technology because of Pokémon.

But even so, underlying diseases and symptoms such as fever and colds still exist. The symptoms of the blond boy just now seemed to be like asthma, but they should also be different.

Just by looking at the two children's passion for the Pokémon toys in their hands while playing, Luo Mu could probably tell how much they loved Pokémon.

This is also the reason why he sighed, just like he said before.

Trainers will hardly have the opportunity to travel when they are sick, because that is tantamount to suicide.

If the parents do not stop it, the alliance will try its best to stop it.

But after all, this was just the various aspects of human life that he saw when he stopped for a few brief minutes. Luo Mu could only sigh and walk along the street towards the hotel.

Let's sleep in the hotel tonight.

"Whoo~"

After checking into the room, Luo Mu, who had been traveling for half a day, inserted the room card into the wall at the door, sat on the soft bed and let out a comfortable sigh.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Mu released the Pokémon in his Poké Balls one by one.

Although the environment inside the Poké Ball is not bad, they prefer to be outside rather than resting in the Poké Ball.

A moment later, the figures of Roentgen, Mimikyu, Azure Blade, Swampert, Dragonite, Arden, Vulpix, Victini and Flower Therapy Tamaki appeared in the room.

Basically, apart from the Dragonite that he must bring when traveling, the portable healer Flower Healer, and the super charger Victini, the Pokémon that Luo Mu brings with him are either the main Pokémon or the main Pokémon of the second team like Windy Dog. Even Vulpix is ​​only brought because the environment of the Crown Tundra is very suitable for it.

As for the Sandslash couple, they recently built a nest deep in the ice cellar. Every day at mealtime, only one Pokémon appears, and a portion is packed back for the mate.

Luo Mu thought that something might have happened, so he didn't take them with him.

Luo Mu carried nine Pokémon with him.

Fortunately, the rooms Luo Mu ordered were the largest ones, so big guys like Dragonite and Windy Dog could move around in the room.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Mu took out the Roentgen cat's new nest - the round cat scratching board - from the space backpack one by one.

There is also a doll that Dragonite holds when sleeping, specially prepared for Windy Dog to bite so that it won't damage the slippers and other items in the hotel room.
But after a while, all kinds of strange things from the farm filled the entire hotel room. If someone who didn’t know saw it, they would think Luo Mu lived here permanently.

The Roentgen cat was stretching lazily on the scratching board. Seeing its raised buttocks, for some reason, a few words suddenly emerged in Luo Mu's mind.

"My hips can hold up a bottle of soda"

In the corner of the room, Swampert was gathering his strength to hit the sandbag that Dragonite had hung for it from the ceiling. Victini, who was waiting in line nearby, was eager to try.

Windy Dog crouched beside Roentgen Cat, shaking his thick tail and gnawing at a pair of brand new slippers on his paws.
The flower therapy ring floats in the center of the hotel room and begins to emit floral fragrance, filling the room with pleasant floral scents that can relieve fatigue and heal the soul.

Dragonite was holding the cute furry Vulpix sister, while Mimikyuu looked a little sorry that Serpentier couldn't join their trip this time.

That’s right, Mimikyu defined this trip as a long-awaited trip.

But Mimikyu also knows that the extremely cold environment is not just unfavorable to the monarch snake, just like ordinary snakes that choose to hibernate in order to maintain body temperature and resist the cold winter.

Although as a Pokémon, Serpentine can resist the urge to hibernate by consuming energy, it will definitely not be able to muster up the energy in the Crown Tundra, which is colder than the simulated snow mountain in Blueberry Tundra.

Instead of this, keeping the monarch snakes on the farm can not only make them feel more at ease, but also save them from having to endure the severe cold.

The Pokémon were busy with their own things, while Luo Mu first checked whether the equipment in the space backpack was complete and whether there was enough food and water.
Although the snow on the ground of the Crown Snowfield can be used to quench thirst to a certain extent, Luo Mu would not do so unless it is absolutely necessary.

If worst comes to worst, there is still Swampert who can create water currents. However, drinking the water sprayed from its mouth requires a certain degree of psychological preparation. Fortunately, Luo Mu has already done this kind of preparation.

The problem is not big.

If the equipment, food and water are insufficient or incomplete, replenish them in Mugan Town or the neighboring Hualang Town before entering the Crown Snowfield.

Fortunately, Luo Mu's previous travel experience made him very cautious in preparing supplies, and with Zhi Huixing's supervision, basically everything was complete.

Before taking a shower, Luo Mu thought for a while and took out his cell phone to send a message to "Nemo" in his contacts, informing her that he had arrived in Mugan Town and would take a Steelix flying taxi to Crown Snowfield early tomorrow morning.

This can be considered a small consolation to those frightened people.

Soon, before Luo Mu put down his phone, the phone began to make ding-dong sounds and slight vibrations, even attracting the attention of several Pokémon.

Nimo: Oh oh oh! I will try my best!

Piper: Help. Help!
Peony: Actually, you can buy a train ticket to the Crown Snowfield. I hacked into Galar's weather center and found that it will gradually snow in the Crown Snowfield from night, and some areas will even have blizzards. Because of the unpredictable weather, the Steelix Flying Taxi may stop operating.

Pipa: Teacher Luo Mu, is there no way for me to hit ghost-type Pokémon with my fists?

Pioni: Woohoo, you are finally here, my spiritual friend!

After Luo Mu finished browsing the information: "."

Subconsciously ignoring the fifth message, Luo Mu replied to the messages from the four students one by one.

Praise Nimo, comfort Papa, and thank Peony for the information she provided.

As for Pi Pa's question, Luo Mu thought about it for a while, then tapped a few times on the mobile phone keyboard with his slender fingers and sent the edited message back.

Luo Mu: Pokémon with See Through Moves, Scent Detection Moves, or the Courage attribute can hit Ghost Pokémon with Normal or Fighting attribute moves.

After replying, Luo Mu put his phone down again, with a strange expression on his face, as if he had just realized something.

This kid Pipa... No, judging by her age, she is only a few years younger than me.

Is Pi Pa planning to rely on his fists and feet to get rid of the ghost?

This is too brave.

Fortunately, the incident in Dongning Village was not a haunted incident, so there was no need to worry that she would lose her life for no reason.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu stood up and stretched, planning to go to the bathroom to take a bath to eliminate the fatigue of the journey and to regain his energy for tomorrow's trip to the Crown Snowfield.

Cang Yan Ren Gui also happened to walk out of the bathroom and nodded slightly towards Luo Mu.

It has used its own flame to adjust the water temperature to the most suitable level.

Luo Mu felt a little warm at heart when he remembered the reason why Blade Blade was worried that the water was too hot and planned to use its fire-attribute Pokémon's talent for temperature sensing to adjust the water temperature.

"I'm sorry to bother you all the time." After smiling at Cang Yan Ren Gui, Luo Mu walked into the bathroom and took off his clothes, intending to wash his body before taking a bath in the bathtub.

As the sound of water dripping could be heard in the bathroom and the glass door became blurry due to the mist brought by the hot water, several Pokémon did not notice that one of their companions had disappeared.

Mimikyu used his talent and quietly tried to sneak into the bathroom to take a bath together.

However, before it could sneak into the shadow, Luo Mu's faint voice suddenly rang out from the bathroom: "Don't think I can't find you."

In an instant, Mimikyu's movements became stiff, and the Pokémon's eyes were drawn here because of the amplified echo in the bathroom.

"Meow~"

The Roentgen cat got up reluctantly, walked to the bathroom door with an extremely imposing cat step, picked up Mimicry's scruff (? ) and led it away from the bathroom door.

After Luo Mu changed into a new set of pajamas and left the steamy bathroom, and received a hot air blow-drying service from Technician No. 149 Dragonite, he lay down comfortably on the bed and fell asleep surrounded by Pokémon.

A good night's sleep.

Mugan Town Station.

"It's just as Mudan said."

Luo Mu, carrying a bag of thick winter clothes for easy changing when he arrived at the Crown Snowfield, looked at the conspicuous red highlighted sign at the station and sighed slightly.

[Due to the weather, the Steel Crow Flying Taxi to the Crown Snowfield is temporarily closed. Passengers with urgent needs can choose to take the train to the Crown Snowfield.]

With Victini on his head, who was curious about the wooden pole station, a building that was different from that of Unova and Padia, and Vulpix, whose cuteness almost always attracted people's attention, by his side, Luo Mu went straight to the ticket office.

Perhaps because Mugan Town is a town suitable for retirement, the ticket seller turned out to be a kind old grandmother.

Noticing someone standing in front of the ticket office, the old lady slowly handed the half-knitted scarf in her hand to the green caterpillar who was assisting her, and looked up at the person who came.

Her gentle gaze fell on Luo Mu, Victini above Luo Mu's head, and Vulpix who insisted that Luo Mu hold him in his arms.

The ticket seller showed a look of surprise at first, then smiled and praised them without pretense: "What cute Pokémon, where are you going?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Luo Mu couldn't help but smile at the friendly people, and Victini and Vulpix on his body were very happy to be praised.

"I'm planning to go to the Crown Snowfields. Are there any trains going there now?"

"There are some."

Looking at the cute Victini and Vulpix, the old lady's smile became even brighter, but she accidentally didn't notice the jealous look of the Caterpillar next to her.

She put on her reading glasses and looked through today's train schedule, then looked up and said, "There's a steam train to the Crown Snowfield at 8:30, and it'll arrive around or in the afternoon. Do you want to buy a ticket?"

"Steam train?"

Luo Mu blinked, and suddenly remembered that the Galar region seemed to be famous for its steam technology, and there were modern industrial cities like Mecha City full of steam engines.

"Then this ticket, please give me one."

"Okay, Pokémon under one meter in size don't need to buy a ticket, so the total is 2500 League Coins."

After Luo Mu paid the cash, the old lady quickly handed him a train ticket and gave him a few instructions.

"Young man, we've been notified that the weather in the Crown Snowfield may be unpredictable in the next few days. Don't force yourself when you get there. If you run into danger, be sure to call for help."

Luo Mu paused as he was leaving with the ticket. Even though he had already known this information through Mudan, he was still grateful for the kind reminder from the ticket seller: "I understand. Thank you for your reminder."

After saying goodbye to the old lady who was the ticket seller, Luo Mu followed the signpost above the station and successfully arrived in front of a steam train that looked quite retro and full of the beauty of the steam age.

The train doors were already open, even though it wasn't due to depart for another ten minutes.

But thinking that there was nothing wrong with standing outside, Luo Mu took Victini and Vulpix directly into the train.

After entering the train carriage, Luo Mu was surprised by the empty carriage.

On the contrary, Victini and Vulpix were excited about the empty carriage and even started chasing each other and playing in the aisle.

Although there were no other passengers on the train except himself, it might affect the train staff. Luo Mu picked up the two Pokémon one by one, took out some snacks and asked them to sit next to him quietly, then he began to think about it.

Come to think of it, it’s just like the reminder from the old lady just now.

Because of the possible unpredictable weather, coupled with the already cold climate of Crown Snow.

All this may have caused trainers who might have originally gone there for adventure, as well as explorers who wanted to climb the snow-capped mountains, to cancel their travel plans or postpone their trips for this reason.

This resulted in only a few passengers heading to other places on the waiting terrace, and no one in the carriage.

Luo Mu didn't have to wait for long, and the train didn't stop due to any accidents.

As Victini and Vulpix were lying by the train window with expressions of curiosity and surprise, a powerful and piercing whistle sounded.

The steam train started running with a dull and powerful roar, and the sound of clicking between the train's axles and rails was full of rhythm.

Immediately afterwards, sheets of white steam spurted out from the steam release valve at the top of the steam train, making a crisp "hissing" sound.

After a few seconds of countless sounds, the steam train began to run amidst the excited shouts of Victini and Vulpix, and drove smoothly towards the distant Crown Snowfield.

The train traveled for several hours in total. Just as the old lady at the ticket station said, at 1:30 pm, the steam train stopped at the Crown Snowfield Station built in the northwest corner of the Crown Snowfield at a place called Qiqiao Snowfield.

Luo Mu walked out of the station with Vulpix and Victini. At this time, a cold wind blew.

Vulpix cried happily as if he had returned home and jumped up and down in the snow.

Victini is already extremely hot-tempered, so this bit of cold wind is nothing to him.

As for Luo Mu, who was the least resistant to cold, he had already changed into thick winter clothes, with a scarf around his neck and a warm hat on his head.

Although it looks a little bulky, it is really warm.

At least the cold wind in the snowy field was just this level and couldn't even break Luo Mu's defense.

"Whoo~"

After taking a breath of the slightly cold air, Luo Mu exhaled another breath of white mist. Watching the white mist gradually dissipating between the sky and the earth, Luo Mu's gaze slowly turned to the surroundings and the distance.

Everywhere you look is covered in snow. Tall and verdant trees stand stubbornly around, with thick snow covering their leaves. If you go up and shake the tree trunks a few times, you will be buried by the snow.

The air was filled with a fresh scent, accompanied by a faint scent of snow and pine.

In the distance are towering snow-capped mountains. The endless and steep snow-capped mountains form a complex terrain environment of the Crown Snowfield. If you are not careful, you may even get lost in it. If you cannot wait for rescue, you may even encounter an accident.

It seems that the snow has stopped, and I can see the blue and high sky. Occasionally, a few white clouds floating by complement the snow-capped mountains. It is a beautiful scenery far away from the city that retains its most primitive appearance.

"I just saw it snowing quite a bit on the train. Just like what Mudan and the old lady said, the weather is unpredictable."

After sighing, Luo Mu lowered his eyes and looked at Vulpix and Victini who were having fun playing in the snow. He just smiled and waited directly on the snowy plain.

Just before getting off the train, he sent a message to Nimo and the others.

Calculating the time, it should be coming soon.

After all, Dongning Village is not far from the snowfield.

As Luo Mu expected, after getting off the car and waiting for a few minutes, a huge figure appeared at the other end of the snowy field, walking towards Luo Mu with heavy steps.

It was a Pokémon that was almost identical to the elephant in Luo Mu's impression, except that its bronze body was covered with dark green rust, and its entire body was covered with irregular bronze patterns.

The most eye-catching thing should be the huge bronze pieces on its head.

That is a Pokémon called King Bronze Elephant, with a pure steel attribute and the ability of "Force" or "Heavy Metal".

There seemed to be several people on the back of the great bronze elephant.

As it got closer, Luo Mu could clearly see the person on the back of the giant bronze elephant.

It was the four Nemos who hadn't been seen for a month, and the trainer of the King Bronze Elephant, Pioni.

It seemed that the heavy footsteps of the giant bronze elephant attracted their attention. Victini and Vulpix, who were making a "Frosty the Fairy" snowman, paused and looked at the behemoth with surprise.

When the giant bronze elephant stopped in front of Luo Mu, Luo Mu could observe its powerful aura more clearly.

It seems that this great bronze elephant is Peoni's trump card, and it is indeed worthy of the title of the former league champion of the Galar region.

After sighing in his heart, Luo Mu looked at Nemo and the others who were waving at him with excitement.

When he saw this, he was stunned instantly.

The dark circles under the eyes are as thick as those of a naughty panda, the face seems to be a little pale due to staying up late and being worried for many days, and there are even signs of peeling on the lips.
The appearance of the four students formed the most vivid and shocking contrast with Luo Mu's impression of them being full of energy before the summer vacation.

No, seeing the condition of Nemo and the other three, could it be that some snow demon girl really entered the village and sucked away their energy?
