#28. The Time Hansel Fought a Polar Bear

Ah! It's starting to rain!

It's so cold in here . . .

_{Music: Gold & Silver - Pokémon Gym}

_{Choro Notes: Icirrus City Gym's gimmick is yet another sliding ice puzzle. The difference is these little curved things . . .

Hitting them curves your trajectory. Overall, this is a very simple gym.}

I will stand in your path!"

_{Choro Notes: Congrats: You've seen basically every trainer in the gym.}

Oh, so the switches turn the . . . curvy . . . guide . . . thing.

:D!

. . . your name is Kendrew?

Woohoo!

It's fun! I can see why!

I did the same thing! I taught my guys moves that they'll use!

Kanto? Never heard of it!

Easy peasy!

Straight and to the point!

_{Music: Diamond & Pearl - Sinnoh Gym Leader Battle}

_{Choro Notes: Brycen

Brycen is the Ice-type specialist that leads the Icirrus City gym. He's a former actor and is pretty awesome all around. His Japanese name is Hachiku. While he goes by Zhu, Sandro and Silvetro in French, German and Italian respectively.}

_{Choro Notes: Vanillish is the evolved form of Vanillite! It's just a bigger one!}

_{Choro Notes: Acid Armor makes a little more sense when you know that its Japanese name is basically Liquify or Melt. It's why Vaporeon can learn it! I . . . don't know why Shelmet can learn it, though . . .}

Rock ice cream!

Thanks!

Somebody just earned an ice cream!

Oh. . . that's. Big.

_{Choro Notes: This is exactly the place you'd want to use Swagger. Swagger sharply increases the target's attack but also confuses them. You know, so they damage themselves more. This works exceptionally well against Xanadu because she has no physical attacks! No benefit, all downside!}

Good, that'll make this easier! Geez that thing is like, it's gotta be ten feet tall, dag.

uh oh.

_{Choro Notes: Icicle Drop is sooort of Beartic's signature move. Only Cloyster and Swinub can learn it. It's a decently strong physical Ice-Type move that has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch.}
