Climbing the snow-white sacred place of Silver Mountain step by step, probably less than halfway up the mountain, the change in temperature made Chi feel a little unexpected.

Obviously, the appearance of the whole mountain range is scattered with snowflakes all the time, if you go deep into it, you can still see a lot of flowers and trees, most of the trees are covered with snowflakes, and the more peculiar point is that the leaves under the snowflakes are green, as if it is the coming of spring.

It's still winter, and spring is still some time away, so this feeling of snow and trees is the first time I've seen it during my travels in the Kanto region.

"Pikachu ....." Pikachu twisted his body uncomfortably, wearing a rather cute little cotton jacket on its body, when Carlos was traveling, Hanako said that the gift given to Pikachu was just used to prevent Pikachu from freezing on the snowy mountain, but .......

“....... Is it too hot?" Seeing Pikachu impatiently trying to untie the little cotton jacket on his body, he smiled faintly, but it seemed that there was no need for this thing, the temperature around him was much warmer than expected.

After untying Pikachu's clothes, Chi went on the road again, and after walking for a while, he found that there was a sign lying on the ground on the current mountain road.

It was not clear whether it was blown down by the wind or for some other reason, but after lifting the sign, he wiped the snowflakes that stuck to it with his hands, and most of the handwriting on the sign had long been blurred, and there were some traces of burning....... Was it intentional?

"Haunted..... Be careful.... Be vigilant ........" The remaining words made Chi frown, and the most critical place was erased, it was a warning of something.

After placing the sign thoroughly, Red held his hat, no matter what he was warning about, it was impossible to block Chi's way, passing by the sign, Red continued to move forward.

boom

Suddenly, there was a shake around, and it was the vibration from the explosion.

"It hurts......." Halfway up the mountain, he was startled by the explosion and vibration, his feet slipped, and he lay on the snow-covered mountain road, and the ice and snow brought a feeling as if his whole face was frozen.

"Who is it......" rubbed his hands together and covered his face with heat, and looked around dissatisfied. Wouldn't it be too big to make such a big movement on the mountain, not afraid of causing an avalanche? And the range of the shaking should not be very far.

.......Pikachu took a few steps forward, only to see an elf with a dark emerald green lower body and white claws on his feet, his whole body was stuck upside down in the snow, and his feet kept kicking his legs in mid-air, as if he couldn't break free after being buried in the snow.

There are no elf footprints around, most of them fell from above, Chi raised his head slightly and looked at the top of the Silver Mountain, how to say that it is also tens of meters high, it is really fortunate to survive...... No, the human constitution should not be used on the elven constitution, but ....... Sure enough, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.

"Yo Tweet....... Yo. At the same time, Pikachu tried to pull out the elf buried under the snowdrift, but it gritted its teeth and showed no sign of pulling it out, but instead sank deeper and deeper due to the elf's turbulence.

"It's so heavy....... Pikachu's strength alone is not enough to pull it out, and Akaya helps him to go up, but it soon turns out that this elf is really heavy...... Even with all his strength, the elf slowly climbed up from the sinking snow, and its weight was evident.

Poof

The force was too strong, and thanks to this, the elf was pulled out, and he fell to the ground with his red reflex, and his hand grasped the elf's body tightly so as not to throw it out, although he ........ It's so heavy........

"Yo chir, yo chir!" retracted the preface, not to mention the ink emerald green, the overall presentation is a matcha green, the body looks similar to Pikachu, in the middle of its chest and stomach has pitch black square-like scales, the crimson scales on the abdomen correspond to each other, and the tail is open like a flower, but it is quite hard to the touch.

The head has long horns, which look quite hard, and the eyes are now in a state of confusion, and I am afraid that they have not recovered from the panic of being buried under the snow.

After it came back to its senses, the elf looked at Chi in a daze, and for a while, it was stunned.

"........" put it on the ground, and shook it in front of it with his hand, without blinking his eyes, without the slightest reaction, looking at it, most of the time he was also a daredevil, Chi couldn't help but think.

"Yo..... "When it realized that it was standing in front !!of a stranger, it screamed in fright, turned around and ran towards the back, obviously very heavy, but the speed was quite fast, and it was about to disappear from the red sight in a blink of an eye.

"Strange child....... Chi just chuckled at this, although he was an elf he had never seen before, he didn't have any intention of catching it, and continued to walk forward.

Maybe it's because of the winter.,Along the way, Chi didn't see any other elves.,Whether it's the Kanto region.,Or the Cheng (Harmony) region.,Except for the strange child just now.,I haven't seen a single elf.。

"Strange ......." However, the longer he walked, the more strange he became, and if he didn't see the elves, it was understandable that the elves didn't like to appear in front of humans, but the reason for the strangeness was not only that.

It would be strange to hear a mountain range that could not even hear the sound of birdsong, but it was daylight, and there was no snow, and it was not even very cold around, and the silence was a little scary.

rumble

Again, a loud bang was heard.

Before Chi's thoughts such as 'What is this time?' came to mind, the snow that was standing on the ground suddenly plunged downward, and what was introduced was a large hole that had been dug, and Red and Pikachu fell unsuspectingly.

call

And it's not over yet, after falling into the big hole, counting the silk threads spraying out from above, although I don't know which insect elf is doing the ghost, seeing that the hole is about to be filled with silk threads, Chi hurriedly commanded Pikachu.

"Pickup !!" has his feet to store strength, and his whole body is emitting electricity, and the high-voltage current rushes up, breaking through the silk thread that has not been completely filled, and Pikachu in mid-air was about to take a look at who was making trouble, when suddenly his whole body was weak and fell down again.

"......." Chi quickly caught Pikachu, and before he could clearly observe what was happening on Pikachu's body, his hands felt a tingling.....

Spread paralysis powder on the vomit to death, and just wait for Pikachu to break through....... Why, the completely defenseless Chi was ruthlessly generalized, and at the same time Chi also understood one thing.....

"Who is it!?" The elf's words will not make such a careful trap and countermeasure, there are only two kinds of situations, either there is some kind of high-IQ elf that Chi doesn't know is commanding, or someone is directing the elf, and Chi feels that the latter is more convincing than the previous one, and immediately shouted outside.

"Hmph, damn elven hunter, don't be quick to catch it!" Sure enough, Chi's words responded, but after seeing the other party, Chi was speechless in surprise........

Pink fur, star-shaped body, chubby. There were three toes on his hands, two of which had fingernails and the like, and a wooden stick on his fingers, and a small tooth in his mouth, which was now grinning and sneering, and wrinkles around his eyes. Pink ears, a tuft of curly hair on the top of the head between the ears, a curled tail on the back, and small wings.

"You've been in ambush for so long and you've finally been caught, damn soul!"

"......." Chi rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, he hadn't seen it, and the creature in front of him was indeed speaking human words, as a skin.......
