Chapter 417 The Strange Phenomenon at Tianguan Mountain, Dividing the Army into Two Groups
As the helicopter ascended and moved forward, the scenery outside the window gradually changed.
The once lush green plains have gradually been replaced by rolling mountains.
Mt. Coronet, this massive mountain range stretching across the center of the Sinnoh region, now stands silently before them.
The helicopter weaved through the Tianguan Mountains, with towering peaks rising into the clouds, creating a magnificent sight.
Suddenly, a strong gust of air hit, and the helicopter began to shake violently.
"What's going on?" Xiao Guang exclaimed, gripping the armrest of the seat tightly.
"The climate in Tianguan Mountain is unpredictable, and these sudden air currents often occur," the pilot explained, struggling to control the helicopter.
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
Before he could finish speaking, an even stronger gust of air swept in.
The helicopter suddenly dipped downwards, as if it were about to crash.
"Whoa!" Xiao Guang closed his eyes in fright.
With quick reflexes, Xiaozhi grabbed Xiaoguang's arm and held her firmly in his arms.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Zhi asked softly.
Xiao Guang slowly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Zhi's concerned gaze, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
"Um, it's nothing..." Xiao Guang's voice trembled slightly, but he still managed to force a smile.
After experiencing several turbulences, the helicopter finally regained its stability.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm sorry to have startled you."
"It's okay, we've encountered this situation many times before," Xiao Gang said with a smile. "Anyway, we've seen plane crashes before."
"Don't say such unlucky things!"
"Poga!"
Xiao Gang's attempt to lighten the mood clearly failed to reassure Xiao Guang.
“However, we may be in even bigger trouble next,” the handsome man said, pointing out the window.
Following the direction the handsome man was pointing, everyone looked and saw that heavy snow had begun to fall from the sky.
The previously clear view suddenly became blurry.
"Why is it suddenly snowing on Tianguan Mountain?" Xiao Guang asked in surprise.
"Tianguan Mountain is very high, and the weather and even climate can vary depending on the terrain. It might be sunny just 100 meters ahead, but 100 meters behind it could be snowing heavily," Xiao Gang explained.
Even if this phenomenon is normal, encountering it at such a critical juncture still makes people feel worried.
"In this weather, it will be difficult for the helicopter to continue," the pilot said, frowning.
"Looks like we'll have to walk." The handsome man sighed helplessly.
"But with so much snow, how are we going to find the location of the Spear Pillar?" Xiao Guang asked with some worry.
"Don't worry, I have this." The handsome man took a locator out of his pocket.
"This is a specially designed locator that can indicate the way in any bad weather, so you don't have to worry about getting lost."
"That's great!" Xiao Guang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's land here," the handsome man said to the pilot.
The pilot nodded and began searching for a suitable landing site.
A moment later, the helicopter landed slowly on a relatively flat hillside.
Ash and his friends jumped out of the helicopter and stepped onto the snow-covered land.
A biting wind, carrying snowflakes, swept over us.
Xiao Guang couldn't help but shiver.
"Everyone, put your clothes on properly, be careful not to catch a cold," Xiao Gang reminded them.
Everyone wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves and began to move towards the Pillar of Spears.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, almost obscuring their vision.
They trudged through the snow, each step seemingly arduous.
"How much further?" Xiao Guang's voice sounded weak in the wind and snow.
"About... two kilometers more," the handsome man replied, glancing at the compass.
Two kilometers...
Normally, this might just be a very short distance.
But in the high mountains with such harsh weather, it seemed to become unreachable.
When encountering such severe weather during a normal trip, most travelers would choose to stop and regroup.
"Don't be too nervous. In this kind of weather, the Galaxy Team's operations should also be restricted."
Ash should have been the most nervous person at that moment, but he still chose to reassure everyone.
The strange feeling in his heart never dissipated. Ash's Aura was on the whole way, but he didn't know if it was because of the complex terrain in the mountains and the harsh environment.
The range of the waveguide power had shrunk to 1/10 of what it used to be, and this strange feeling made him somewhat uneasy.
The Rubik's Cube-like object that Jupiter had thrown out earlier came back to mind.
.......
Without giving it much thought, the group remained silent and continued walking forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Gang asked.
"I still feel... something's not right." Ash looked around, his brow furrowed.
"Something's not right?" Xiao Guang stopped as well.
"Don't you guys think... it's too quiet here?" Ash said slowly.
Quiet?
After Xiaozhi's reminder, Xiaogang and Xiaoguang also noticed something was wrong.
Logically speaking, in such windy and snowy weather, there should be sounds of wind, snow, and even the calls of some wild Pokémon.
However, the place was eerily quiet, as if all sounds had been swallowed up.
"It is indeed...too quiet." Xiao Gang nodded.
"Could it be Team Galactic's doing?" Hikari wondered.
"Possibly," Xiao Zhi pondered.
"No matter what, we must be careful."
"Ah."
The group became more vigilant and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, Xiao Zhi suddenly stopped.
"I have an idea..." Xiao Zhi turned around and said to Xiao Gang and the handsome guy.
"I want to take a slightly longer route to verify my guess."
"Take a longer route?" Xiao Gang asked, puzzled.
"Okay, you guys keep heading towards the Pillar of Spear, I'll be back soon," Ash explained.
"But..." Xiao Guang was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I have Pikachu with me, everything will be fine," Ash smiled.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu called out, indicating that it would protect Ash.
"Be careful," Xiao Gang cautioned.
"Yes, I will." Ash nodded.
After Ash finished speaking, he took Pikachu and walked towards the hillside.
As Xiaozhi's figure gradually disappeared into the snowstorm, Xiaoguang's heart was filled with worry.
"I hope he'll be alright..." Xiao Guang murmured to himself.
"Don't worry, Ash is very strong," Brock reassured him.
From the past to the present, no matter how big the crisis, Ash has always been able to overcome it. Perhaps what they need to worry about more is themselves.
"Hmm." Xiao Guang nodded, forcing himself to focus his attention on the road in front of him.
They continued walking forward, taking each step with extreme care.
