Chapter 418: Snow Hat Monster's Repayment
The temporary cheap master, Snow Moth, was undoubtedly enthusiastic.
After Vulpix clearly expressed his desire to learn the Aurora Curtain, Snow Moth was not afraid at all, dancing its beautiful translucent wings and landing on the snow, "Mossmos" directly began to teach in Pokémon language.
Luo Mu looked at the Bud Crown King, but found that it was carefully observing the gorgeous Aurora Curtain in the sky, nodding from time to time, showing a thoughtful expression and whispering.
"So that's it, is this the energy structure?"
It's funny to say that the Bud Crown King has lived for so many years, and it has seen the Aurora Curtain released by other ice Pokémon, but because of the obstruction of some obscure power, it did not learn this move.
At that time, the Bud Crown King did not care about it.
If you can't learn it, then you can't learn it. With your own strength, building a telekinetic shield will be much more practical than these moves.
If she hadn't been unable to offer even a decent suggestion to Vulpix, the Bud Crown wouldn't have cared so much about the Aurora Curtain, and even chose to study it on her own now.
The secret of the Aurora Curtain is like a piece of thin paper that can be broken with a poke to the Bud Crown. If you take a closer look, you will soon know the principle of its operation.
But just like teleportation, the Bud Crown can directly distort space with its huge and powerful telekinesis, and the same is true for the Aurora Curtain. The Bud Crown can also create an "artificial" Aurora Curtain by manipulating the arrangement and construction of telekinesis and ice-attribute energy.
But it can't make this technique exist objectively as its move. At this time, it has sufficient knowledge reserves to teach Vulpix about the Aurora Curtain, but Vulpix already has a master.
The Bud Crown opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, I won't join in the fun."
As he said that, it floated towards Luo Mu and said, "Let me go with you to carve ice sculptures. Although I'm not familiar with the techniques, I can still make a one-to-one replica through telekinesis."
"That's great."
Luo Mu smiled and nodded. With the help of the Bud Crown, he shouldn't be too busy in the next period of time.
The help of Pokémon is within the scope of the rules, and Luo Mu will not have any objection to this.
While Luo Mu was rummaging through his backpack and preparing double carving tools, the Bud Crown found the Blizzard Horse and stroked its back.
"Dear horse, I'll leave it to you to take care of Vulpix. If necessary, call Regice as well."
The Blizzard Horse looked at the Vulpix, who was listening attentively with a tense face, and nodded without hesitation.
Little Vulpix is so cute, we must prevent it from being abducted by bad guys outside.
In a corner unknown to anyone, Snowstorm Horse suddenly awakened a new and amazing hobby.
At this time, Luo Mu poked his head out again and gave a warning to Regiace, who was sitting obediently and staring at a small yellow flower blooming in the snow after finishing his work.
"Be careful, don't freeze the tea set!"
"Dudududu leji eisi."
Regiace nodded gently (body), stared at the small yellow flower in a daze again, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Night.
Luo Mu and Bud Crown King have roughly carved out the fine dragon scales on the ice sculpture Rayquaza that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, as well as the distinctive ring structure.
The Azure Blade Demon, Mimikyuu and Sandsang King and his wife occasionally helped out -
Mainly to help Luo Mu deal with the ice chips that were a little difficult to scrape off with his strength, and act as carving tools.
Yes, they can also be used as professional ice carving tools.
Ever since Luo Mu discovered that his tools were a bit like a fruit knife for killing cattle when dealing with the ice made by Regiace, he has been thinking about what tools would be more handy.
Until Luo Mu saw the rows of sharp and sharp ice needles on the backs of the Sandshrew couple.
The Sandshrew actually grew steel needles on its back, but because of the massive leakage of ice-attribute energy, these steel needles were frozen with a thick layer of ice.
Luo Mu estimated that the thinner ones among these ice needles should be very handy.
Fortunately, the Sandshrews have the habit of replacing steel needles, so Luo Mu had no problem pulling out a few sharp ice needles of varying thickness from them.
These ice needles were held in the hand and stabbed forward. Unlike the carving knife, which was laborious, the ice needles broke through the defense of the ice layer smoothly.
This also meant that Luo Mu could save half of his strength.
Luo Mu carefully put down the ice needles in his hand to avoid being accidentally injured by them.
After all, once stabbed by this thing, it is unknown how big the wound will be caused by the sharp surface, not to mention that the ice needles can even cause further frostbite.
Then, he stepped back several steps and looked at the work he had spent a day carving.
Limited by the characteristics of ice, with the help of Pokémon, he could only add supports under the ice sculpture to make it look like it was flying.
Yes, it just looks like it was flying.
As the dragon of the sky, some people would think it was strange for Rayquaza's ice sculpture to fall to the ground, but Luo Mu thought so.
He came up with an idea.
First, let the ice sculpture be supported by many supports at a certain distance from the ground, then create an ice "mountain" that can block those supports, and finally add the special effects brought by Pokémon moves.
Maybe in the end it will bring what Luo Mu expected.
But whether the idea is successful or not, it depends on the actual implementation after the completion tomorrow.
With the Pokémon, Luo Mu returned to the tent built next to the ice sculpture.
At this time, the Blue Blade Ghost had already lit a fire, and the lit kerosene lamp suddenly brightened the dark environment.
At this time, the audience here had already left the venue and went to the nearby Ice Box Town to spend the night.
Except for those responsible for security, the organizers had almost all left.
Many contestants, like Luo Mu, set up temporary tents to guard their works.
After all, at night, security personnel cannot perfectly prevent the invasion of wild Pokémon. What if wild Pokémon or even some bad-hearted colleagues take advantage of the dark night and do something immoral?
Even Luo Mu planned to take turns with Blue Blade Ghost, Mimikyu and Bud Crown to keep watch at night.
Just as Luo Mu was drinking hot tea and thinking about what to eat tonight, Vulpix came back hopping.
As soon as it came back, Vulpix proudly turned in front of Luo Mu, calling "Mew, Mew" as if expecting Luo Mu to find something.
Luo Mu looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only change the subject abruptly.
"Where is your teacher Edelweiss?"
Vulpix paused and shook his head, "Mew~" (Teacher Edelweiss has returned to her home, so we'll continue tomorrow~)
"Oh~ Then can you show me what progress you've made today?"
Luo Mu picked up Vulpix and rubbed its little head, which felt very good.
The Blue Flame Blade Ghost paused while cutting vegetables with the flaming sword, and then continued to cut as if nothing had happened.
But its eyes were always glued to the hands on Vulpix's head, and its emotions fluctuated a little.
Sure enough, compared to the cold armor, Luo Mu still liked the furry Vulpix more?
Blue Blade Ghost thought with some envy, wondering if he could grow such fluffy hair.
Compared to Blue Blade Ghost's silence, Mimikyuu beside him was much more active in expressing his emotions.
"QQ!"
It opened its slightly scary-looking sharp shadow claws and called a few times, trying to attract Luo Mu's attention.
As Mimikyuu wished, Luo Mu's attention was also attracted by it. He put down Vulpix, who was going to perform a talent show, and picked up Mimikyuu again, letting Vulpix show the results of a day's training in front of him and Pokémon such as Bud Crown.
After a while.
After eating and drinking, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the little Vulpix sleeping in the sleeping bag.
The Bud Crown King floated over silently like a ghost, and said faintly: "That snow moth is quite good at teaching."
Luo Mu nodded in agreement and said in a low voice: "At this rate, it will take another day or two for Vulpix to master the Aurora Curtain."
"That won't be in time for the display tomorrow night." The Bud Crown King thought about it and suggested: "Otherwise, when I prepare the white mist, I can also use my telekinesis to create an aurora?"
The Bud Crown King is confident that even if it doesn't have the magical effect of the Aurora Curtain, it can still create a beautiful aurora to reflect the work.
Luo Mu nodded slightly, "That's the only way."
Not long after.
Just when Luo Mu was packing up the pots and pans and preparing to rest.
He suddenly saw that a figure who looked a bit like Gulusha visited the tent in the distance.
Luo Mu remembered that the owner of the snow moth was there, and it was said to be the tent of Shahua, the defending champion of this ice sculpture competition.
His thoughts were not so extreme that he would think there was something fishy going on between men and women just because they met. He just muttered in a low voice with doubt.
"Do they know each other?"
Luo Mu could vaguely see that Shahua seemed very happy, circling around Gulusha excitedly, and jumping up and down in the snow with him like two idiots.
Just as Luo Mu expected, after interacting with Shahua for a while, Gulusha left there with a lamp and walked towards him?
What did he come to him for?
Before Luo Mu could figure out what was going on, a noisy sound suddenly sounded from a distance in a very quiet place, full of presence.
Most of the sounds were noisy human sounds, but in the inconspicuous corners, there seemed to be a few Pokémon calls.
Gulusha over there didn't expect that something unexpected would happen suddenly. He paused and ran towards Luo Mu.
Because behind Luo Mu was the starting point of the sound.
Luo Mu shouted to Guluxia who was getting closer and closer to him, asking, "What happened?"
Guluxia put down the intercom and said to Luo Mu, "It's nothing serious. There must be a wild Pokémon trying to break into the venue. I'll just go and drive them away."
"Oh."
Luo Mu nodded. He originally thought that since that was the case, he would go to rest and leave the security of the venue to Guluxia.
But for some reason, Luo Mu suddenly felt a little flustered.
It was as if he might regret it if he didn't go.
At this time, the Bud Crown King in the tent seemed to know something and said in a faint voice, "I'm watching here. If you want to go, you can go and take a look."
Since the Bud Crown King said so, after a little thought, Luo Mu decided to trust his intuition. He grabbed the gloves on the table and shouted to Guluxia who had just passed by him, "I'll go too."
Guluxia didn't stop and didn't want to stop Luo Mu's behavior.
Even though he was very grateful to Luo Mu and the Crown of Buds, he would not say anything about not letting his benefactors take risks or anything like that——
Luo Mu was much stronger than him, and he had two legs. Could he still hold his head and tell him not to come?
Guluxia didn't want to waste his time. If he had the time, he might as well rush to the scene.
Waking up Mimikyuu who was napping in his shadow, Luo Mu put on his cold-proof gloves and followed him directly.
Soon, they came to the source of the noisy sound.
Several security guards in red vests were watching the two big guys in front of them, who were more than two meters tall, with serious faces, along with their Pokémon.
"Don't they almost never appear in places where humans gather?"
A person whispered in a low voice, looking a little nervous.
Although the Frost Mountain is not like the Silver Mountains in the distant Johto region, where the wild Pokémon are all big guys that cannot be provoked, the strength of the wild Pokémon here is also not weak.
Not to mention the two powerful Blizzard Kings in front of them, which were not something that ordinary trainers like them who were still carrying Angry Parrot and Sea Shrew could resist.
When Guluxia arrived, the first reaction of these people was to be thankful. They looked at Guluxia as if they were seeing a savior, and talked about what happened.
Luo Mu, who followed closely, also heard a general idea.
The two Blizzard Kings had to enter the venue for unknown reasons, but they didn't know why they had no intention of attacking. After the initial conflict, the two sides just confronted each other.
For some reason, Luo Mu looked at the two Blizzard Kings and felt that they were a little familiar.
On the side, Guluxia blew a whistle and summoned a graceful Tanabata Bluebird to fall, intending to drive them out of here without hurting the two Blizzard Kings.
As someone who has been dealing with ice-attribute Pokémon for many years and has opened a gym on Frost Mountain, Guluxia still has some understanding of the character of Pokémon like Blizzard King.
Generally speaking, as long as there is no trigger to make them angry, the Blizzard Kings are actually very easy to get along with.
Seeing the appearance of the Qixi Bluebird, the two Blizzard Kings suddenly became nervous.
They knew that the Qixi Bluebird was much stronger than themselves.
This made them stick together a little closer, firmly protecting the existence behind them.
Luo Mu, who had been observing the appearance of the two familiar Blizzard Kings, saw their movements and was thoughtful.
This movement, rather than being afraid, seemed to be protecting something.
Looking at the characteristics, the genders of the two Blizzard Kings are clearly one female and one male, and what they are protecting is already obvious.
After a little thought, Luo Mu, who realized a certain possibility, decided to give it a try.
He stepped forward and said to Guluxia: "Wait a minute, those two Blizzard Kings may know me."
Guluxia was stunned, looked at Luo Mu deeply, and made way.
Although the staff was puzzled, Guluxia did this, they couldn't say anything. They just watched Luo Mu walk over with concern and prayed silently in their hearts.
This contestant must not get into trouble, otherwise, the boss will definitely skin us alive.
Contrary to their expectations, when the Blizzard Kings found Luo Mu walking towards them, they not only did not become more nervous, but were relieved.
Then, from behind them, a small white bamboo hat head emerged.
That was the child of the Blizzard Kings, a Pokémon that had not yet evolved into a Blizzard King, the Snow Hat Monster.
Upon discovering Luo Mu's arrival, the Snow Hat Monster's eyes lit up, and with its hands that looked like pine buds, it held a beautiful stone with snowflake-like patterns and ran towards Luo Mu happily.
