After another period of travel, Shinji has reached the area close to Kirifeng City.

As he approached Kiritajo, the weather became cloudy, sometimes blizzard, sometimes sunny, and Shinji dressed himself in a cotton suit.

In the middle of the snow, in an area where gravity is different from the rest of the world, Shinji is looking up with the other elves looking up at the elf soaring and wandering in the sky.

"Sigh~"

After a long period of hard work, the Shock Beast finally achieved the achievement of being able to fly under the normal gravity of the Nine-Tails without strengthening.

The electromagnetic force was permeated all over his body, and his whole body was surrounded by magnetic force that could be changed by it, and the face of the electric shock beast looked extremely happy and excited.

For no other reason, Shinji promised it that as long as it could fly freely under the Nine-Tails' regular gravity, it would be allowed to evolve!

The climate in the mountains is changeable, and before you know it, snow falls.

Light snow, moderate snow...... Soon it turned into heavy snowfall.

But this cold snow still couldn't suppress the excited flames in the heart of the electric shock beast.

"Sigh~"

The shock beast fell from the sky and walked up to Shinji excitedly, looking at the latter with a smile, his eyes full of flattery-

My dearest trainer, it's not too early, isn't it time for me to evolve...... Hey hey ("▼ v▼) 丿

"......"

Shinji put his hands in his pockets, nodded slightly, and said.

"Uh......h Woo......"

Before he finished speaking, a strange cry suddenly came from all around the sky, this cry flickered far and near, big and small, like a ghost.

Figures flickered under the heavy snow, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

The heavy snow has reduced the perception of Shinji and the elves, making it difficult to tell how many of them are and what their condition is.

In this case, it is most important to ensure your own safety.

"Be on guard."

Shinji was the first to let out a low snort.

All the surrounding elves immediately surrounded Shinji and looked around with a wary gaze.

"Circle bears, see through! Nine-tails, a sunny day! Other elves are always ready to attack! ”

This situation is obviously attacked by ghost attribute elves, and it is easy to deal with only if the specific number and situation are clear.

The Nine-Tails' sunny day naturally can't compete with the snow in reality or the snow summoned by an unknown number of elves, but it is enough to make the heavy snow in an area disperse and find its own venue.

"Yime~"

A strange red light emanated from the bear's eyes, sweeping around like a scanner, and the ghost shadow under the snow suddenly disappeared in the red light.

Hundred ghosts walk at night, like a joke.

The Nine-Tails' sunny day also kicked off at this moment, and the light bloomed all around him to let the heavy snow dissipate.

Suddenly, it was as if nothing had happened around him, and there was no scene of ghosts and ghosts just now, as if everyone was just making a fuss.

"Whew?!"

Suddenly, the Shock Beast screamed in shock, pointing to the location where Shinji had placed his backpack with a look of disbelief.

On weekdays, when training with elves, Shinji's backpack that he would put on the edge is gone!

Shockmon understands the importance of the backpack, and the two power amplifiers that can evolve are placed in it!

If you don't have an amplifier, doesn't that mean you can't evolve?

For a moment, the Shock Beast was a little depressed.

It was a premeditated operation!

Shinji figured it out in an instant-

It must be a group of ghostly elves who use the heavy snow falling from the sky to snatch the backpacks of passing trainers for some purpose.

As if he had a premonition in his heart, Shinji looked back at the snow-covered mountain on one side, and a shadow seemed to flicker.

But in the blink of an eye, everything was calm, as if it were just an illusion of oneself.

"Repeat offender, just understand the situation and get it back."

Patted the shock beast, Shinji.

He thought that he and the elves were quick to react, so he was on guard for the first time, and then used Identify and Sunny Day.

In this case, the backpack can be stolen, which is impossible for non-habitual offenders to do.

"Sigh~"

Hearing this, the entire spirit of the electric shock beast instantly ignited, ready to give the thief his own thunderous rage.

However, Shinji took out his phone and looked at the map, and said calmly, "Let's go to a nearby city or elf center to rest first." ”

Originally, the supplies in the backpack were completely enough for them to arrive in Snow Peak City, but now that there is no backpack and food, it is better to find a place to rest first.

As for letting go of the bag thieves, it's impossible!

There are not only immeasurable props in it, but also super badges given to him by my brother.

Grab the backpack and grab yourself, these guys, looking for death?

At this moment, under Shinji's calm appearance, there is suppressed anger.

Taking the other elves back and taking the electric shock beast with him, Shinji found an elven center covered in snow at the foot of a snowy mountain not far away.

Soon, Shinji sat by the campfire in the house with the Shock Beast and Miss Joy, and told Miss Joy what had happened to him.

"Did you encounter those snow fairies too?"

"Also?"

Miss Joy said quietly: "This snow-capped mountain near the Elf Center is called Snow Mountain. ”

"There are a lot of ice attribute elves living in the snow mountain, and among them, there is a family of snow demon girls."

"It used to be fine, but in the past two years, He Xue Demon Maidens have always launched a surprise attack on passing travelers and snatched their backpacks."

"There have been a lot of people whose backpacks have been snatched before."

"But what's strange is that every time they snatch the backpack, the Snow Demon Maidens will take some of the food and a small amount of props, and then they will find a chance to put the backpack back here."

"That's why there haven't been any major problems."

During the narration, Miss Joy looked at Shinji with a bright look in her eyes.

"It's understandable to snatch food, but what about props?"

Shinji asked, looking at Joey with a very sharp gaze.

"Legend has it that there used to be a lot of evolution stones on the mountain, but due to human mining, nature was angered, resulting in this place turning into a land of ice and snow, and people had no choice but to give up mining because of the heavy snow that fell all year round."

"Two years ago, the evolution stones on the mountain could no longer meet the needs of the Snow Boys' evolution, and the Snow Demon Maidens snatched props in order to find the Awakening Stone for the Snow Boys to evolve."

Miss Joy began to explain, her eyes revealing a slight sense of loss.

"I see."

Shinji nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the brightly lit room, got up and walked to the side of the communicator and pressed it a few times, seeing that there was no response, he asked:

"Excuse me, are the lights and communicators in the house broken?"

"I'm sorry."

Miss Joy smiled apologetically, went to the side and brought some food to Shinji, and said:

"I'm hungry, eat something first."

"So, when are you going to give me back the backpack?"

Back by the campfire, Shinji picked up a piece of food that he was familiar and put in his mouth, looked at Joey coldly, and asked.

"If you're not in a hurry, please wait here for a day and I'll prepare food for you......"

"Food...... Scold...... Prepare me my own food, won't you? ”

Before Joey finished speaking, Shinji just looked at it with a blank face.

"What do you mean?"

Joey looked at Shinji with a little ignorance in surprise and incomprehension.

"Attack."

In response to Joey was a golden bolt of lightning.

"Ah~"

In the midst of the scream, Miss Joy, who was hit by lightning, flew upside down, and after a distortion of space, she turned into a Pokémon wearing a kimono like a snow girl.

It's the Snow Witch!

When the Snow Demon Maiden appeared, the surrounding spatial environment also changed.

The room that used to be warm and bright has been transformed into a simple room after repair, and it is in dilapidation everywhere, and the communicator and even the screen are broken.

Everything just now was an illusion created by the Snow Demon Maiden!

"Yi~No~"

The Snow Demon Maiden, who had been knocked down, looked at Shinji in disbelief, but she didn't expect that her perfect disguise would be recognized.

"Thunder!"

After confirming that the target of the attack was not a human but an elf who had stolen his chance to evolve, the shock beast did not show the slightest mercy and launched with all its might.

"Boom!"

The Snow Demon Maiden dodged the attack with a dodge of her body, and the wall beside her was suddenly blasted open, revealing a sky full of snow.

Her body floated up, and the Snow Demon Maiden burrowed out of the house and disappeared into the snow.

"Chase."

Shinji examines the Elven Center and finds no backpack, only a small portion of the food.

Picking up some food, he chased after the shock beast.
