Chapter 49: Snowpoint City

  The Sinnoh region boasts many unique ndmarks.

  They include tourist attractions such as the Lakeside Resort and Communication Square, as well as natural wonders like the four Great Lakes and the dense Eternal Forest. But without a doubt, the central ndmark of the Sinnoh region is Mt. Coronet. Standing in the center of Sinnoh, extending from the northern wilderness to the tip of the continent's south side, Mt. Coronet divides the entire Sinnoh region in two.

  Snowpoint City.

  Known as the "City of Sparkling Ice," this city is covered in snow year-round. Snow falling from the summit of Mt. Coronet keeps the temperature low all year.

  Outside the Pokémon Center, a young boy, exhaling white air, almost shrunk his head into his neck, his body constantly shivering.

  "I was careless."

  "I actually forgot about the climate of Mt. Coronet..."

  The boy with brown hair was only wearing a shirt, out of pce among the people wrapped in thick clothes, which made his face instantly darken.

  "Master Katsuragi... didn't even remind me."

  Torii was desperate!

  After arriving in Sinnoh, his second stop was Snowpoint City.

  Coronet Academy is located in the northern part of Mt. Coronet. This pce is sparsely poputed, and the main area is only Snowpoint City.

  Because of the snow blowing down from the summit of Mt. Coronet, the northern region is not only cold, but the road to the north is also particurly difficult.

  The academy was still a long way from Snowpoint City. Torii held the map and looked at the circled location on it, sighing for a long time.

  "This is really a disaster..."

  "Swablu and Beautifly don't want to come out now, and they're hiding in their Poké Balls."

  The climate difference between Snowpoint City and the Hoenn region was very obvious. Both Swablu and Beautifly hated the cold environment.

  Torii comforted himself, only allowing them to be willful for two days. After arriving at Coronet Academy, no matter how cold it was, they would have to come out and stick to a certain amount of training.

  The Flying-type Swablu and Beautifly must overcome the major obstacle of "Ice."

  ......

  ......

  Torii walked through Snowpoint City, shivering.

  He had to set off immediately and reach Coronet Academy before dark, otherwise, he suspected that he would freeze to death on the road.

  Passing by a clothing store, through the gss, looking at the fluffy cotton clothes hanging up, Torii swallowed.

  The promising rookie Breeder was now facing a major crisis...

  Having lived in the warm Hoenn continent for many years, after suddenly coming to Sinnoh, Torii found that all the change of clothes he had prepared could not adapt to this weather.

  "This is too much."

  "Too much?"

  "Huh... Huh?"

  Torii gave a light hum. The voice just now didn't sound like an echo... but a... female voice?

  Turning his head, Torii found a girl about his age, wearing a short skirt and short sleeves, standing behind him...

  "Are you a trainer from out of town? Is there anything I can help you with?"

  The girl looked very kind, staring at Torii with pure eyes.

  "That..."

  With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, looking at the youthful and energetic short skirt girl, Torii's "I'm cold" was stifled back.

  "It's nothing," Torii said after a moment of silence.

  "But your scarf is so cute, hey, hey, where did you buy it?" Suddenly, the girl put her hands on Torii's shoulders, her eyes staring at his scarf with little stars.

  "......"

  Torii was taken aback, and cold sweat dripped down.

  "This was given to me by my grandma." Smiling awkwardly, Torii pushed the girl away.

  "Grandma? Did your grandma make it by hand? It's so cute..."

  Where is it cute—

  Scanning the light yellow scarf, this was the only thing Torii could find to keep warm, although it was very warm... but he couldn't find any pce that was reted to cute.

  As if seeing Torii's helplessness, the girl froze for a moment, and said with a grin: "Sorry, are you a trainer?"

  "Do you want to battle?" Torii asked.

  "Of course, Snowpoint City rarely has trainers coming here. I haven't battled a strange trainer in a long time~~"

  "That's quite pitiful." Torii said.

  "Oh~ So you agree?!"

  "No, I refuse. I'm in a hurry to get on the road, see you ter." Adjusting his scarf, Torii exhaled a breath of cold air, zily bypassing the girl.

  "Hey, don't do that. I'm Candice from the Snowpoint Gym. You don't want to challenge the Snowpoint Gym after coming here, do you!" The girl named Candice hurriedly said after seeing Torii's neglect.

  Torii stopped.

  "You're a Gym Leader?"

  He doubted whether Candice's age was enough for 10 years old. Even if she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for challengers, was it really okay for the Gym to be so casual now?

  "Uh... not yet, but I will become a Gym Leader sooner or ter!" Candice hesitated for a moment, then said firmly.

  "......"

  Torii started walking again.

  "Hey... don't be so heartless, let's battle, how can a trainer refuse a challenge, where are you going, it's not too te to leave after the battle."

  Torii was convinced by this guy.

  "Compared to Junko, this one is more like a 10-year-old girl."

  As...

  "I'm in a hurry, let's battle next time."

  "What~ South... in that direction of yours, even if you want to pretend to go somewhere, you have to find the right direction first."

  The south of Snowpoint City is Mt. Coronet, which has accumuted snow for many years.

  Even if you want to leave Snowpoint City, you will never leave from the south.

  "I'm going to school." Saying this sentence in a slightly strange way, Torii suddenly felt a lot younger.

  Going to school, at his age, it seems that he is still an elementary school student on Earth!

  However, the growth of humans in this world is generally very fast, and even the age at which children become sensible is much earlier than on Earth.

  "Going to school? In that direction, are you going to Coronet Academy?" Candice froze for a moment, her eyes widening in surprise.

  "But Coronet Academy is already past the start of school, hey!"

  After speaking, she stared at Torii with a puzzled look.

  "You know about Coronet Academy..." Didn't Master Katsuragi say that Coronet Academy had been in decline for a long time and few people knew about it!

  "Of course!" Candice had a smug look, "I know, if you want to go to Coronet Academy, the road is very difficult to walk, but if you beat me in a battle, I'll tell you a shortcut!"

  ......

  ......

  "In that case, a battle, okay, where?"

  Torii eventually followed Candice, as a matter of course.

  In order to easily reach the destination, it's good to have a warm-up battle first.

  Walking in front, Candice said with a happy face: "It's just ahead, Pokémon Trainer School~ There is a battle field there."

  "School?"

  "Yes, responsible for teaching some children in the city about the knowledge of trainers."

  Torii stared at the distant building, somewhat surprised, "If you do this kind of thing..."

  Even in a city, there shouldn't be many families who support their children to become trainers. Establishing this kind of primary school is completely thankless. However, Torii thought of Petalburg City. Compared with other towns or cities, Petalburg City is too remote and backward. Not only have few trainers come out, but even the Pokémon Center has not yet been stationed there.

  If Petalburg City also had a school like this, perhaps the current situation would be better?
