A few days had passed. The village was still covered by thick layers of snow. More and more Pokemon were becoming sick despite of the cold weather.
As for Aelius and Anthea, they were so much better now, they could even talk. However, they are still suffering from fever. Coughs and sneezes were not exceptions. The illnesses were still posing a lot of risks on the two grass Pokemon. Leon didn’t let them go outside, so all they could do was to rest in the tent, along with Meri and Noir.
Some tap sounds caught attention from the four Pokemon in the tent. Someone was tapping the tent with a unique pattern, as if it was a password of some sort. They all knew who it was outside the tent. Noir went to the door and unzipped the tent. In went a familiar Riolu, all of his fur were standing up slightly because of the cold. With a red scarf around his neck, he looked just like a fluffy puppy. He shook the snow off his body before entering the tent.
“News from the village, someone has finally decided to call in the doctors.” Leon said. “We should visit them to see if they could cure Aelius and Anthea. They have been sick for days and we haven’t been able to do anything about it.”
They all knew what to do and agreed with the suggestion. Noir wrapped the two sick Pokemon with thick towels and grabbed them with his large Claws. Meri went outside the tent and used Sunny Day. The castform quickly changed into the “Sunny” form.
“Whoa-a! Such th-thick layer of snow! I wonder h-how you came ba-ck from the village!” Meri was shocked by how thick the snow was. It was nearly two times of Leon’s height!
“I jumped atop of the snow and then speeded back. If I didn’t run, I would sink into the loose snow!” Leon explained. “Since you and Noir could float, you two will have an easy time getting to the village.”
“C-can you run to the village again, i-it is quite a long way.” Meri was a bit worried. After all, Leon had been going around for the whole time to seek for help. He must be exhausted.
“I guess I can, I’ll catch up somehow if I sink into the snow. Otherwise, just use your Weather Ball attack and melt the snow.” Leon slightly smiled to relieve the worried Castform.
“Well then, let’s go! These two will be frozen again if we waste more time.” The impatient Haunter said, while holding Aelius and Anthea. He drifted to somewhere under Meri’s sunlight to keep the Pokemon warm.
Leon thus zipped up the tent and followed the others to Tao village.
I'm still going to make comics, We can't have this kinds of submissions for judging since they are painting + writing. So I'll make comics when we have missions.
