After beating Opal the Fairy Type Gym Leader, our heroes now journey to Circhester to go and collect their Ice or Rock badges, but will they encounter some trouble through their path? Who knows, let's find out.



















Bella's P.O.V















We all wandered to route 7 after Hop's battle with Victor but he just can't seem to beat him, I felt upset but I know Hop will find a way to beat Victor and Gloria. But as we wander to our next destination, we hear some rustle in the grass and stopped. Gladion got in front of us and grabbed his poke ball ready to battle whatever it was until we saw that it was...





















... A Morpeko...







Bella: Oh my stars and moon beams!!!! It's a Morpeko!!!
Rotom: Just like the one you want to catch Bella!! This is your chance!!!
Valarie: plus it's a shiny type Pokémon!! What a win win!
Bella: Okay! I can do this!!
Hop: Good luck Bella!!
Gloria: We believe in you!!!
Bella: Alright! Pixie! You're up!! [toss the poke ball]

[Pixie appears]

Pixie [Ponyta] Neeeeiiiiihhhhhh!!!!!
Bella: Alright Pixie!! Use Dazzling Gleam!!

Pixie attacked Morpeko with Dazzling Gleam which sent a strong hit but not enough to knock it out, Morpeko then used Bite but it didn't hurt Pixie much. She stood her grounds as I told her to use Quick Attack while Morpeko used Aura Wheel. Pixie dodged it and used Quick Attack which sent Morpeko back and rolling to a rock. Morpeko looked dizzy and I took this as a chance to catch it, but it managed to get away.

Bella: Awwwww~ [pout] No fair!! I almost had it!!!!
Hop: Maybe next time Bella, right now we need to get to Circhester
Valarie: He's right, we'll come back soon
Bella: Okay

We went on ahead and walked a bit further until we reached to Route 8, it a huge ruins and we never thought this would be hard to get to Circhester. We had to go through series of climbing up and down the ladders, jumping off some small cliffs, and even go up the stairs. After what felt like a couple of hours we finally made it to a tunnel, we were all panting while Valarie and Gladion weren't even that tired.

Hop: How are you guys not exhausted?! [huff] [huff]
Valarie: We've done stuff like this before, this is nothing compared to Altar of the Sunne
Gladion: Yup, that one was a bit difficult but we succeeded in passing the trials
Valarie: Yup, now let's get going kids
Victor: But won't we need to go get changed into something warm?
Valarie: We'll be close to the hotel so we can go there and get the hotel key
Hop: Seriously!? Man Val, you'll always prepared for anything
Valarie: Of course I am, it's what I do

We walked to Circhester and felt the cold wind blowing, but we saw the snowflakes and finally the city of Circhester. It was covered in snow, variety of shops including a Boutique and features the famous Hero's Baths, a hot spring where the ancient heroes of the legend came to heal their wounds or at least that's what I know from my book of the Galar Region. We were all shivering, but made it to the hotel and received the keys to our rooms, when we hurried and changed into our winter clothes, I stepped out adjusting my scarf and hat a little until Gloria stepped out and adjusted her coat too.

[Bella's Outfit is the image above and it also belongs to me, I drew that ^]

Gloria: Brrrr~ even with my coat I'm still shivering
Bella: Me too, but at least we're this close to the Semifinals
Gloria: True, hey we should definitely go shopping afterwards
Bella: Totally
Hop: Phew, what a relief, I'm glad we got to wear these warm clothes
Victor: Yeah, we should probably go to-
???: Mother I already told you to stop dotting me!!
