[attr="class","orion"]

When he catches wind of a rare swarm of Froslass, Orion doesn't hesitate to gear up and head for the Jagged Pass. It's treacherous, the unusual blizzard adding ice to the list of dangers on an already dangerous route, but he's a ranger. He's faced worse... or so he tells himself, at least, as he and his Absol brave the trek through the pass.

Usually, the cliffs are covered in a thin blanket of ash. Now it's snow that his boots leave tracks in as he carefully picks his way toward the distant shapes on the horizon. They must be the Froslass.

Up close, they're as beautiful as they are eerie.

He takes a moment to admire them, not intimidated by their staring eyes, before he pulls out a premier ball from his bag. He's not always one to match ball-to-Pokemon, but he can't help but to think the snow-white ball would be perfect for one of these ghostly beauties.

kyle starts to question the sciince behind hoenn's decreasingly low temperatures with each cold day. he loved hoenn because it seldom had harsh temperatures below freezing point, but he's opinion on his home region may change soon.

eventually, he finds the problem.

staring at it, kyle finds himself face to face with a froslass swarm. it wasn't rare to find swarms every now and then, though they weren't common either. he stands in shock, his head processing on what to do with them.

while he wasn't that knowledgeable about them, it's fair to say that they are fairly blamable for the weather. there were instances of wild pokemon swarms causing trouble for other people before, and his hatred for the blizzard leads him to believe as such.

he throws a pokeball from afar, hoping it would scare them away or something. he wasn't going anywhere near them if it meant being cold.

he swore he could hear a woman moaning but it was hard to see with this blizzard going on around him. why would anyone even be out here? he didn't want to be here! he was just chasing a rumor about a ghost in the mountains when this snowstorm decided to hit him and keep him from going forward. now he was certain that he was about to be cursed or even haunted if he didn't get somewhere warm and safe. that's when the moaning stopped, stopped sounding like the moans of a woman and the cries of what he could only guess is a pokemon.

suddenly a shadow appeared in his vision, one almost as tall as him and approaching fast. shinra spent no time waiting for it to try and get closer to him as he whipped out a pokeball and threw it into the shadow.

A blizzard.

Funny, Hoenn's starting to look more and more like Snowpoint City as the winter season rolls through with chilly fingers and snowy limbs. It's odd, she feels less homesick as the days creep by.

The scientist finds herself venturing out into the heart of the blizzard, bundled in layers, snowflakes clinging to dark hair. Her breath comes out in puffs, a smile plastered onto her face. Sure, this is a weird occurrence, blizzards never happening in the tropical climate that Hoenn possesses but... The excitement within her upon even seeing the snow is enough to propel her forward. Further into the blizzard she goes, her figure disappearing into the heavy snow.

A group of small figures begin to take shape as she ventures further and further, the blobs turning into familiar shapes until finally, she's able to see them clearly. Froslass... Okay, now she really feels at home. They stare, piercing eyes looking deep within her. Can they see her soul? Do they even like what they could see? Oh boy.

She can't help the giddy feeling that pounds in her chest or the excitable coos that tumble from her lips. It might be a feeble attempt but... One she's more than happy to take. A pokeball is pulled from her belt, arm extending back behind her, before she lobs the pokeball into the snow, an arc of motion intended solely for a Froslass.

Wind tugs at her hair and clothes, threatening to choke her, to drown her. She violently pulls at the strands of blood-red hair, the fine hairs freezing as the wetness of her mouth draws across them. It's cold, but it's colder than it's ever been in Hoenn. The wind continues to howl and bite at her fingertips. She's never felt cold like this before, in fact, she's never been cold before.[break][break]

And then her eyes find blurry, ghostly shapes in the night and her breath catches in her throat. For a moment she forgets where she is, who she is, why she's here. It's just her, caught in a blizzard, challenging the wind and forcing herself forward. But she isn't alone anymore. It's almost like her nightmare has been reborn when she catches glimpses of other people braving the storm. [break][break]

[break][break]

Pokeballs fly through the air, tossed and turned and swallowed in the snow as they sail for the Froslass traveling the Jagged pass. Emma does it only because she hopes that if enough people capture the wild Pokemon, the storm might come to an end.[break][break]

Otherwise, she tucks her coat closer to her neck to prevent more snow melting down her shirt, and she continues on her way.[break][break]

Bo, knowing little of the snow storm that would be passing through, had thought it would be festive to decorate for the holidays. Unfortunately, she didn’t really have much in the way of money or a home with a holiday tree. So, she settled for decorating Burke for the holiday. She had enough from her last job to get some wide, red ribbon, which was now strung around Burke’s head and down around his neck -- tied up like a lead.

They could do better, she thought, so she lead her friend out to the route between Lilycove and Fortree. They searched for hours to find the perfect pair of branches -- which she then tied to his head like a pair of horns. She was proud of herself and Burke strutted around the route to show her just how handsome he was as a reindeer. But the small celebration was cut short as the wind chilled even more -- enough to whisk the softer snow into the air. ”We better get back to town.” She said, sidling up to Burke as they both eyed the trees around them.

The storm picked up quickly and before the two knew it, they were fighting against heavy winds. Now riding atop the mudsdale, she gripped his neck tightly and clutched her body as close to him as she could. ”I’m sorry bud.” Bo whispered into Burke’s ear. The giant mudsdale did not respond -- his hooves pounding into the snow in a steady but labored thud, thud, thud. She wasn’t even sure he could hear her over the wind.

They continued in freezing solidarity until she felt Burke tense and then jerk to the side. She peered around him, squinting against the snowflakes and wind that burned her face. She could barely make out a small, oddly shaped silhouette that glided out from the tree line. Burke jerked again as another silhouette gliding out from the other side of the route. Then another and another, until the tree line was distorted by little silhouettes.

Bo grasped Burke and pulled her face as close to his ear as she could. ”Burke, go,” She couldn’t feel the cold anymore she could only feel her heart pounding. The mudsdale leapt forward and, as yet another silhouette glided out in front of them, Bo yelled over the wind ”Don’t stop! Use heavy slam!” Burke barreled through the silhouette in front of him and it crumpled into itself. The rest of the silhouettes seemed to withdraw back into the tree line so the pair slowed briefly. Bo looked back at silhouette that was now heaped in the snow. Guilt washed over her. She couldn’t just leave it there -- what if they really hurt it? She wasn’t getting down though. So, she tossed out a pokeball instead.

[attr="class","spiral"] The frigid bite of this year's winter frost is no different than last years. Fernando stands in the snow, alone, staring at the numerous Froslass that make their yearly migration. Two of his own flank him on either side and it reminds him of how he spent last year's Christmas. With a heavy exhale, he tugs on his scarf to cover his mouth before repeating the same words he does every time he battle.

"Battle routine set."

Snow settles on his hair, his shoulders, covering him in small, white flakes. The whirling whites of the Pokemon before him seem almost beautiful as he reflects on how much he's grown this year. Looking back, his progress has tapered off, complacent with the advent of peace over the region and wilted by the companionship of new faces and the heavy absence of those closest to him.

"Execute."

I'm weaker, he muses, smirking to himself before steadying his resolve to become stronger for next year.

Outside was cold. Annie was cold. Her Pokemon was cold. She couldn’t feel her toes. She wanted to be inside, but she didn’t even know where ‘inside’ was. The blizzard blocked out any lights to direct her. Hell, it even covered up the snowy footprints she could have used to backtrack.

Still, she always tried to look on the bright side. The Froslass wandering the area seemed to be wild, which meant she could tame one, maybe even make it clear the weather. It was admittedly a terrible idea, but no worse an idea than wandering endlessly until frostbite took her, and so she launched a pokeball.

It's cold, freezing. Frosslasses hover in a small herd, her hands are hidden deep within her pockets. She's not big into holidays, but she does appreciate the idea of receiving things. Emmie smiles as she throws a pokeball.

Her mimikyu was excited as he stares at the other ghost pokemon.

A blotch of tall shadows came round to meet him; one solid sweep of his glance had the blonde turning where he stood thigh-deep in the dead of winter to appraise the terrain once again. While a barrage of icy mist sped outward from the sparse treeline mottling the area it obscured his vision momentarily with a fog of cold.

Causing Milo to swipe at his eyes with the heel of a spare hand he blinked twice and managed to ford his way through the snowbanks long enough to dive into the shadowy alcove of a cave that had been but a skeptical silhouette only a hundred yards away. Blasts of frigid snowfall snapped sharply at the flock of froslass before coming to slam the outcropping he nested against and swept his prior footfalls over. The only hint as to their location was the breath that dusted the air with pearls of ice and diamond eyes as the trademark cast of red from his pokeball flashed against them as they startled.
