Chapter Text
Blue was already starting to regret climbing Mt. Silver.
He had expected it to be cold, obviously. The mountain was known for its icy terrain. Maybe he'd just come on one of the mountain's worst days.
At this temperature, it felt like a full on blizzard, although it wasn't. However it was impossible to not acknowledge the whipping winds and freezing snow flurry that felt as if they were assaulting him. Even with the parka he'd had the foresight to put on, he found himself wishing he'd invested in a full on snow suit. His arms were wrapped tightly around his body, his teeth chattering as he climbed the mountain path.
It wasn't as if he chose this particular exploration to torture himself. He came to Mt. Silver because there were rumors going around Johto about how this mountain was full of rare pokemon. Hardly anybody ever ventured here (it was obvious why), but when they did, it seemed everybody came back with scars and magnificent stories about rare or even legendary pokemon they'd seen on the mountain.
Blue wasn't sure how many of those stories he'd actually believed. However, what with all the fuss about the mountain, he felt almost obligated as one of Kanto's top trainers to check it out.
Deciding to just suck it up, Blue continued scaling the mountain.
