Chapter #6Frosty Warmer, Sneezing Flower by: Ponymon   Shrunk to the same extremely small size as you, most people would immediately start thinking about how they would find Mew. You, however, did not have that luxury because you were currently freezing! Without warning, the cold of Snowpoint City’s locale bore into you and sent you into a shivering spree. Just moments ago you felt comfortable enough, but somehow the cold seems to have invaded your very being.
Reflexively you wrap your arms around yourself in a vain attempt to stay warm. As you wrapped your freezing body with your equally freezing arms, you immediately figured out why you suddenly felt so cold. All of your snow gear was gone! The only thing protecting you from the cold was the clothes you wore everyday. Did Mew psychic your clothes away with you noticing? How could she expect you to find her like this!?
“F-forget finding Mew. I t-think I’m going to die before I-I can even find, ugh, anyone.” You barely mumbled to yourself.
The initial numbness of the cold wore off slightly, letting you feel the bundles of snow that were piling up on your body. You tried to swipe some of the stuff off of your back, but more quickly took its place. Your bare head now had a literal snow cap on it, and the feeling of numbness was returning to you before you even started to move.
“Why would Mew do this? D…did she even want me to find her? Or was that some kind of cruel taunt?”
Still willing to try to avoid freezing to death, you began trudging forward through the snow. The snow on the ground barely registered to you when you had all your equipment, but now the stuff was nearly up to your waste. If you tripped, you’d be falling into your coffin and the snow would bury you so deep it would be like you never existed.
“Am I really… going to… die?” You mumbled, now exhausted.
You didn’t understand how your body was losing energy so quickly. Yes, you were freezing and getting coated in snow, but surely you could last longer. You were a Pokémon trainer after all! Sure you weren’t incredible, but you’ve won several badges and traveled through all kinds of conditions. You could be proud when you called yourself a trainer.
Your freezing face managed to grow pale. You were a trainer, and you had Pokémon. How would they feel when you didn’t get back? What would they even think? Would they spend days worrying about you, before tearfully giving up? Or would they hate you, thinking you left them after all your time together? Just the idea made you start to tear up, if you had the energy to do so at least.
“I… can’t die… out here.” You thought. “Not while those two are waiting for m-!”
Your thoughts were interrupted when… something collided with your back and forced you into the snow! But instead of being shoved into an icy coffin, it felt like you were covered by an amazing heated blanket! Somehow all of the bitter cold had disappeared, replaced with a comforting warmth. Too relieved by the sudden ambush of heat, you allow your body to go limp and relax. You laid on the snowy ground in silence for a while before you heard a comforting voice.
“Glaceon…”
That soothing voice could only belong to one person, your Glaceon. That explained why you were so warm all of a sudden! Glaceon always had an ability to manipulate the cold, she had done it for you plenty of times to make your tent warmer at night. But now, at your reduced size, she seemed to have complete control over your body temperature! She just saved your life!
“Y-your so warm.” You mumble dumbly, unable to think of anything else to say.
“I thought I sensed that you were in trouble.” Glaceon muttered gently. “I’m glad I could help.”
“You really are… so warm.”
Glaceon breathed a sigh of relief as you drifted off to sleep. She wasn’t sure how you managed to sleep, but she was glad you were alive regardless. Right now, she was extra grateful that she’d gotten so good with controlling temperature. She might have never realized there was an issue if she hadn’t-
“Grace, *awch*! Where’d yo- you g*awch*?”
Grace ignored the familiar voice, working on moving you to her back without disturbing you. It took a bit of effort, and some awkward distorting of her neck and back, but she eventually managed to deposit you on her back. Grace knew that she should be super concerned about your new size, but right now she was focused on getting you somewhere naturally warm.
“*Tsknt*! Ugh, stupid cold. I feel awful.” The voice from before complained. “Grace, what are you doing?”
Grace turned around to face the voice that was behind her. The voice belonged to a Leafeon with a red shade around her nose, showing she was a bit under the weather.
“I was just-” Grace was cut off by a petite sneeze from the Leafeon. “I was just saving master from the cold.”
“What do you-*Tsknt* mean? I don’t see him, anywhere.” Leafeon noted confused.
“Take a look.” Grace said simply, turning slightly to show you resting near her neck.
Astounded, Leafeon brought her head in closer for a better look. Not believing what she saw, she blinked and shook her head, but you remained on Grace’s back.
“Oh my gosh! What happened to-*AWCH*!” The grass types exclamation of surprise was interrupted by her harshest sneeze yet.
Leafeon growled in utter rage and contempt, while Grace nonchalantly turned back to her normal position.
“Stupid stupid cold! I hate the snow, I hate it! I’m all stuffy, snotty, and gross, and I can’t even be concerned about our trainer without getting inter… interruuuu, interruuu*pft*ed!”
Grace looked at her fellow Eeveelution with a smug smile. Honestly, she was super amused by the grass Pokémon’s cold. It made her sound funny and her getting irritated was a rare sight in any other circumstance.
“Wait, Rose, I just realized something.”
“What, ugh, is it.” The Leafeon asked with a sniffle.
“This whole time I’ve known you, I thought just your ears and tail had that red tint on them. But I just realized some of your face is red too! I can’t believe it took me so long to notice!”
Rose glared at her partner, her cheeks also becoming an irritated red.
“Haha.” She laughed sarcastically. “You’re a real comedian. Keep that up and I’ll sneeze in your food.”
Grace snickered and nodded her head forward, moving with Rose back towards Snowpoint City. She hoped she wouldn’t ask too many questions, because she didn’t have answers to any of them.

“So we’re taking him back to the Pokémon Center?” Rose asked Grace as they walked through the snowy streets of Snowpoint.
“That’s the plan. I can’t keep him warm forever, we gotta get him somewhere safe and private so he can tell us what happened.”
“Okay, that makes sense. But how are we going to get inside the Center without getting attention? We’re kind of just two strays with our shrunken trainer on our back.”
“...”
“You’re telling me you didn’t think of that!?”
“Of course I did!”
"Then what *sniff* what's the plan?" Rose asked swiping a paw at her irritated nose.
"It's simple. I'm going to have you trigger the motion sensing door, and then I'm going to blast the inside with Blizzard. Everyone inside will be too startled and distracted to notice us sprint to our room!"
"That's *achoo* that's your plan?"
"Do you got a better one?" Grace asked the Leafeon sarcastically.
"No." Rose replied with a sniffle. "I guess that's what we gotta do."
"Yep, we got no choice. Let's get going."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
