Dawn, Ash, and Brock felt as though their legs were going to give out any second now. The threesome had been walking for days through the rugged, stormy terrain that led to Snowpoint City, and all three of them were exhausted! Not just them either, but their Pokemon as well!

"Ash! We have to stop!" Dawn called out, wincing as the wind and ice whipped against her face. Brock nodded in agreement. "Dawn's right, Ash, we have to find a shelter of some sort before this storm gets any worse!"

Ash turned around, clutching Pikachu to his chest in an attempt to protect the electric Pokemon the best he could from the harsh weather. He had gone ahead of Brock and Dawn, his impatience for the upcoming gym battle getting the better of him. Now, they were all paying for it. "But where are we gonna find shelter way out here?" He called out to Brock, hoping that as resourceful as Brock was that he'd find some way to get them out of this mess.

"Pika!" Pikachu suddenly cried out. Ash looked down at his friend, confused. "What is it Pikachu?" He asked.

"Look!" Brock called out, pointing to a violet, outstretched lump in the snow out in the distance. He, along with Dawn and Ash, quickly ran to what they thought was an unconscious Pokemon. Just as quickly, Ash's concern turned to bitterness and hate. "It's Paul!" Brock exclaimed. "Hmph, so?" Ash said turning away.

"Is he dead?" Dawn asked, looking a bit pale.

"I don't think we're that lucky . . . " Ash grumbled.

"Ash!"

"Pika!"

"Come on you two, give me a hand!" Brock said, attempting to lift up Paul, dropping him in the process. Paul groaned. Ash snickered.

"Hey! You out there! Do you need some help?"

Once again, Brock dropped Paul. Another groan. "Officer Jenny!" Brock exclaimed running toward the blue haired beauty on the snow mobile.

Dawn rolled her eyes, lifting up the abused Paul and dragging him toward Brock and Officer Jenny.

"I can help you with that you know." Ash offered, an evil glint in his eyes.

Dawn shook her head.

"Knowing you, you'd drop him on purpose."

"Oh my," Officer Jenny exclaimed, rushing over to Paul and Dawn. "Here," said Jenny "I'll take him with me back to the Pokemon Center!"

"What about us?" Ash demanded.

Jenny gave him a stern look. "This boy needs medical attention immediately, I'll send the boys to come pick you up!" And with that, she settled Paul into her lap driving away at top speed.

Dawn placed a hand on Ash's shoulder. "C'mon Ash!" She said "Don't look so upset, she said she'd be back."

"We couldn't of just let Paul freeze?"

Brock sighed.

Dawn punched Ash on the shoulder, glaring at the young trainer.

"Ow!" Ash winced. "What?"

"Grow up!" Dawn scolded.

"Grooowwwwlithe!"

Everyone lit up as three dozen Growlithe came running towards them, each pulling a sled.

Dawn giggled. "So, these are the boys, huh?" She said as the Growlithe stopped in front of them.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu cheered happily, leaping from Ash's arms and onto the sled.

The three each climbed aboard a sled, wrapping the blankets they had found in a small box tied to one of the sleds, around them.

"Mush!" Ash commanded.

"Mush!" Chimed Dawn and Brock.
