THE ENTIRETY OF FORTREE had been redecorated for this event. Brought forward by the Ex-Gym Leader Balder Schwartz , this charity event is meant to gather funds to help those that have been impacted The Ultra Beast War. With the assistance of some sponsors, like the beautiful Stormy Silph and her family's Company, Silph Co, and the presence of RaiCorp (Josh Dragomir ) to assist in hosting this event, Fortree was painted white with artificial snow.[break][break]

The snow covers the entirety of the town, from the trees and their houses to the many parks surrounding the location. Arches and statues made of ice were raised everywhere, mainly decorating the parks, with Mistletoes hanging from many of them. An Ice Skating ring was erected at the entrance of the city for those that prefer small skating sequences or weren't used to it, while a long skating path was also made around the city for those that were more of the exploring kind. The skating track was made so that people would be able to get a view on most attractions and admire the beauty of the city in white.[break][break]

Lastly, many merchants and food trucks had sown up to the event, erecting multiple stalls on the main street to serve food, drinks and offer multiple games to the attendees and the locals. Some times during the night, Fireworks would be launched into the sky, picturing many pokemons and Christmas shapes. Truly a wonderful event to help forget the sadness of the war.[break][break]
