Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

At this time, when Xiaoqing and Tiremeow saw the unknown Pokémon Whalebone outside the house, they were surprised and their originally confused mental state became completely clear.

Looking at Zou Jing jumping outside the house enthusiastically towards Xiao Qing who had just woken up, Mi Moli asked in confusion.

"So that Whale is a wild Pokémon? Although Whale is not uncommon in Frost Hand, it is rare for it to care so much about you and Deremeon while you are unconscious..."

"So that Pokémon is called Whalebone. This is the first time I've seen one..."

As he spoke, Xiaoqing took out his cell phone and checked Rotom.

“Walker, a land-whale Pokémon with an ice attribute.

Ambulacoastians live in groups of about five individuals in cold regions. They have lived on land since ancient times, after coming ashore from the sea. They seem to be a species similar to bellowing whales, and they like the minerals contained in snow or ice.

Then, Xiaoqing also recalled what happened before she fell into a coma.

"Oh right! I remember that I was with Xiaozhi and Piper before. Suddenly, when Piper screamed, a huge rolling 'snowball' appeared in my field of vision. Fortunately, Delemeow helped me block it... But I was also dragged to the bottom of the slope by it and fell into a coma."

As he spoke, Xiao Qing stroked the Tire Miao beside him to express his gratitude, then looked at the walking whale outside the house and spoke in confusion.

"I didn't fall into a coma right away, but was knocked unconscious after the endless spinning. I clearly remember that the 'snowball' was not cold, but had some elasticity and temperature, just like a round Pokémon..., then it couldn't be..."

As Xiaoqing was talking, she noticed that Zou Jing outside the house gradually lowered his head, and his eyes moved away from the glass window on the door.

Mimoli, who was standing nearby, was talking about her own room. She glanced at the Whalebone rolling outside the window and Pikachu chasing after it. She went out to check out the unconscious Xiaoqing and Tiremeow, and Pikachu and Whalebone who were accompanying them.

The whole story was also revealed during the conversation between the two, and the truth was revealed. During this time, Mi Moli heard Xiao Qing mention a familiar name and asked curiously.

"By the way, you just mentioned Papa, he was a freshman in the academy... Oh no! He should be a sophomore now, so you are also a student of Orange & Grape Academy!"

Xiaoqing nodded in response.

"Yes, my name is Xiaoqing. Xiaozhi, Piper and I are all students of the academy. We team up together to go on an adventure outside the school... Thank you for your help."

Before Xiaoqing could ask Mimoli why she knew that Papa was a student of the academy, she introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Mimoli. I am currently a ranger in Frost Mountain. I mainly treat wild Pokémon here. I have helped trainers who got into trouble during the snowy season. I was also a teacher in the academy before..."

Before Mimoli could finish her words, Xiaoqing began to mutter to herself.

"Mimoli! Why does this name sound so familiar... I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Oh, right! In the Pokémon Center in the "North Third District"... the author of the "Frosted Hands" shortlisted work in the "Photography Contest" is Mimoli!"

Then Xiaoqing excitedly held Mi Moli's hand and said.

"You are Mimoli! You are the photographer who entered the competition with the "Frosted Hands"..."

Mi Moli was puzzled by Xiaoqing's sudden excitement, but she still gained some information from her words.

"I'm not a photographer, I just work here all the time. One day the weather was just right, and I wanted more people to understand that "Hands Wiped by Frost" is not just about the snowy season. I wanted to show the beauty of this place... After uploading my work on a whim, I never paid attention to whether it was shortlisted. From your question just now, Xiaoqing, I can tell that my casually shot work was shortlisted, right?"

Xiaoqing nodded excitedly and responded.

"Yes, Miss Mimoli! The pictures you took are really wonderful..."

At this moment, Xiaoqing realized that the best works can be created not only by having solid skills like Jiro Antonio and Nishida, and the perseverance to wait for the best time to take the picture; but also by having the freedom and relaxation like Xiaozhi, who can achieve success unintentionally; and by having people like Mi Moli, who have been immersed in this extreme beauty for a long time, and have been influenced by it, and know when the most beautiful time is, which is something that ordinary photographers cannot compare to.

In the victims' cabin, Xiaoqing and Mimoli were chatting with each other while waiting for the blizzard to end. The two of them were having a great time talking, and the Pokémon beside them had become drowsy while waiting, and fell asleep after leaning against Xiaoqing.

After an unknown amount of time, the whale outside the house suddenly became agitated, jumping around and shouting towards the people inside, making anxious and excited sounds.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Everyone was wondering. Mi Moli first looked out through the window on the door. Through the gap blocked by the high-jumping figure of Zou Jing, she saw that the blizzard outside the house had stopped. She then said to Xiao Qing behind her.

"Xiaoqing, come and take a look! Zou Jing wants to remind us that the wind and snow outside have stopped..."

At the call of Mimoli and Zoujing, Xiaoqing and Pikachu also came out of the house together. Xiaoqing took a deep breath of the biting cold air outside, stretched, and said.

"Great, the blizzard is over and we can continue our adventure."

Mimoli gave some advice.

"Xiaoqing, it's still snowy season on Frost Mountain, so we still can't do mountaineering work. Look at the sky..."

Xiaoqing looked up in the direction of the sky where Mimoli pointed. Although there were no snowflakes falling from the sky at this moment, the weather was still overcast, and it seemed that a new snowstorm would appear soon.

"You should immediately find your companions in the cave and go down the mountain. The Frost Mountain is too dangerous in the snowy season. Even I can hardly climb to the top of the mountain through the snow..."

Before Mimoli could finish her words, the troublesome Whale jumped onto Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing was crushed by its huge body. The surrounding Pokémon, Pikachu, Tiremew, and Tan Xiaoshi immediately pushed Whale away out of concern, fearing that Xiaoqing would be crushed by it.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Looking at the crying Zou Jing, Xiao Qing immediately comforted him.

"What's wrong, Whale? Are you sad because you accidentally hurt me before?"

Xiaoqing looked at the walking whale that had stopped crying and was lying on her. It nodded at her, indicating that her guess was correct. Xiaoqing then touched its head kindly and spoke softly.

"It's okay, Zou Jing, I'm not hurt, it's not your fault..."

With Xiaoqing's comfort, Zoujing stopped sobbing and slowly moved away from Xiaoqing's body. After Xiaoqing got up, she still touched Zoujing's head affectionately.

"Zoujing you are so cute, such a good boy!"

Mimoli looked at the two people who were so intimate and said curiously.

"Walker is a Pokémon that lives in groups. According to your previous description, Xiaoqing, this Walker must have lost its way from the group and happened to meet you when it was alone... Walker is a Pokémon that is happy to be intimate with any kind of Pokémon. Judging from its intimate behavior towards you, it must have regarded you as a family member."

Xiaoqing smiled happily.

"Is that so? I'm honored..."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Xiaoqing, Pikachu! So you are here, it's easy for us to find you, are you okay?"

Hearing the voice, Xiaoqing looked up the slope and saw Xiaozhi, Papper, and Scorching Crocodile and Coldspine Dragon coming towards them excitedly. Xiaoqing responded enthusiastically.

"It's Ash and Piper! It's nice to see you. I'm fine..."

After a while, the two came to Xiaoqing. After the accident, Xiaozhi and his group were separated. Xiaozhi and Papper were anxiously asking Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, are you okay? We were so worried..."

Xiaoqing shook her head and said.

"I'm fine, don't worry! Fortunately, I have Pikachu and Whale to accompany me..."

"Walking whales are..."

As he spoke, Xiaozhi looked at the huge and round walking whale next to Xiaoqing and was shocked.

"…Walking Whale is this Pokémon, right?"

Xiaoqing nodded in response.

"Yes, it's this child! Not only that, the huge 'snowball' that we were scattered from before was also it..."

"So that 'accident' was also you..."

Just as Xiaozhi was looking around curiously, Whale also jumped onto Xiaozhi, knocked him down, and snuggled up with Xiaozhi, who was meeting him for the first time. Not only that, Whale also got along well with Pikachu, Taneko, and the newly met Scorching Crocodile and Coldspine.

Mi Moli, who was standing nearby, looked at this loving scene, smiled unconsciously, and said.

"You are all good kids, since you can make wild whales get along with you right away..."

Hearing Mimoli's question, Xiaozhi and the others looked over. Xiaozhi asked first after standing up.

"Excuse me, our attention was just drawn to Xiaoqing and the jumping whale. May I ask who you are..."

Xiaoqing introduced herself on behalf of Mi Moli.

"I forgot to introduce you, this is Miss Mimoli, she is the ranger of this "Frost Hand", responsible for treating injured wild ice Pokémon here, and helping trainers who died in the snow season... She is also the one who saved me."

Xiaozhi said gratefully after hearing Xiaoqing's introduction of Mimoli.

"Thank you, Miss Mimoli! Thank you for saving Xiaoqing. It's all my fault for being stubborn. Xiaoqing had said before that "Frost Mountain" might be in the snowy season, but I didn't believe it... However, the name Mimoli sounds familiar. Is she the author of the shortlisted work "Frost Hands"? "

Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly and replied.

"Yes, Miss Mimoli is the author of the shortlisted work..."

Suddenly, Piper, who was standing next to him, also exclaimed and spoke excitedly.

"You are Teacher Mi Moli! How could I have forgotten you? No wonder I felt familiar when I heard the name of the shortlisted author was Mi Moli... I really shouldn't have done that!"

Having said that, Papper walked around Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing, looking at them in surprise, and came to Mimoli to reminisce about the past.

"Piper, long time no see! I haven't met the students of the academy since I left a year ago. How is your academic progress now?"

As soon as Mimoli opened her mouth, she spoke in the tone of a college teacher checking students' homework, which made Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing feel familiar and unfamiliar. Xiaoqing also recalled the previous conversation with Mimoli in the disaster hut.

"Oh right! Earlier, Mimoli said she knew Piper, and I was wondering how they knew each other... but then the topic got sidetracked and didn't continue. It turns out that Miss Mimoli is a teacher at the academy, so that explains why she knew Piper!"

Papa also took over for Mimoli, introducing herself without even Xiaoqing knowing.

"No wonder Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing don't know Teacher Mimoli yet. After all, you just entered school this year, and Teacher Mimoli just left a year ago. Her current position is the head nurse of the infirmary, which is the previous teacher before Head Nurse Mimosa... Hey! Wait, could it be..."

Mimoli said, taking over what Piper said.

"Yes, you guessed it right. Mimosa is my sister. I recommended her to be the chief medical officer after I left my job. Although my sister is a little reckless, she used to work in a Pokémon Center on a sandbar in the South Padilla Sea. I think it shouldn't be a problem for her to take over my job."

"I can also do something for these ice-type Pokémon living on Frost Mountain... Oh, by the way! It's been so long, I wonder if Mimosa has become a formal teacher?"

After learning from Mimoli the breaking news that none of Xiaozhi's group knew, the three were shocked. Then, when faced with Mimoli's question, they looked at each other, and it was Xiaoqing who answered with gritted teeth.

"Not yet. Medical Director Mimosa is not a formal teacher yet..."

In response to Xiaoqing's answer, Mi Moli first slapped her forehead with one hand, covered her face and said with a sad face.

"As expected, Mimosa hasn't become a teacher yet! Next time I see her, I will make her pay..."

Unlike the gentle Mimoli, she suddenly changed her attitude after mentioning her sister Mimosha's recent situation. This is the same as the way the math teacher Taim and his sister, the owner of the "Ice Box Gym" Lime, got along in "Ice Box Town" before... This is the blood suppression from the elder sister, and Xiaozhi and his friends are not surprised.

At this moment, Mimoli made an unreasonable request to Xiaozhi and the others.

"By the way, Xiaoqing and everyone, although I am no longer a teacher in the academy and cannot ask you to conduct a teaching test on Pokémon battles, seeing you now reminds me of the days when I was in the academy."

"The president of the college before me was President Mu Fei. They resigned a year and a half ago, and I resigned half a year later. I was also fortunate to meet the new President Clavel... I also had some contact with him, but I still have reservations about his teaching quality."

"At this point, I would like to propose a Pokémon battle to you. This is my test for the students educated by this new principal!"
