==Blurb==
<!--https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/horizons/2/roy-and-fuecocos-first-snow-->
<i>Now that Dot has passed her Tera Training usage test, it’s time for Roy’s challenge in Montenevera. To get there, Liko, Roy, and Dot must cross Glaseado Mountain amid heavy snowfall. Roy gets his first experience with snow, and he and Fuecoco have fun playing together and encountering wild Pokémon. Eventually, the group decides to stay overnight in a cabin, and the three Trainers split up to find firewood. Then, Roy and Fuecoco become separated: they must find each other before night falls and temperatures drop. Will they reunite in time?</i>

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] are buying themselves winter clothes in preparation for heading to [[Glaseado Mountain]], where Roy's next [[Tera Training]] test awaits at the town of [[Montenevera]]. While Liko chooses her clothes no problem, Dot is feeling so uncomfortable about the mere idea of cold that she's chosen to wear a thick coat that, in Liko's opinion, makes her look like Nidothing, while Roy, having never actually experienced snow before, thinks he'll be fine with just a pair of gloves. Eventually, though, everyone settles on a winter outfit and heads off to Glaseado Mountain.

The group eventually arrives at the snowy mountain after passing through a tunnel to get there. While Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} are ecstatic to play in the snow, Liko notices {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} feeling uncomfortable in the cold environment. However, instead of letting herself be [[recall]]ed, she leads Liko to a [[Berry]] bush, where she sees a {{p|Bergmite}} snacking on some Berries. Checking Bergmite's [[Pokédex]] entry on her [[Rotom Phone]], she learns that it tends to get into fights with {{p|Frigibax}} when the two encounter each other, with Liko checking out its entry too for good measure. Several other [[wild Pokémon]] and Fuecoco join in on eating the Berries, but when some snow falls on top of Fuecoco, Bergmite mistakes him for a Frigibax and gets angry, not helped by an actual Frigibax showing up right after. All the other wild Pokémon flee in fear as the two {{t|Ice}} types start fighting, blasting each other with cold air that creates a vicious blizzard around them. Liko recalls Floragato to protect her from the cold wind, while Fuecoco's {{m|Flamethrower}} isn't enough to stop the blizzard, and the two fighting Pokémon are not distracted by {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s attempt to stop them with his dancing. The fight is stopped, however, when [[Liko's Hattrem]] emerges from her {{i|Poké Ball}} due to the strong emotions present and pummels the two Ice types into submission with {{m|Brutal Swing}}, before proceeding to heal them with {{m|Heal Pulse}}, at which point, the two wild Pokémon simply walk away from each other and leave.

The group comes across a frozen pond and decide to have fun by skating on it, though Dot does so very reluctantly. They then proceed to have other sorts of fun winter activities, such as making snow angels, baking marshmallows, and building a snowman resembling [[Captain Pikachu]], which Roy takes a [[Photography|picture]] of with his phone. While they resume walking, Fuecoco notices something a leads Roy to a {{p|Cubchoo}}. As he's busy checking its Pokédex entry, a {{p|Beartic}} walks up to him, looking angry. Roy nervously backs off, but ends up knocking Cubchoo over while doing so, causing it to start crying and Beartic to get furious. Fortunately for Roy, Liko and Dot arrive to help and blind Beartic with their Pokémon's [[Move|attacks]] long enough for them to make a run for it. Spotting a mountain cabin nearby, they decide to take shelter there. Once inside, they eat to warm themselves up, while Roy checks some of the photos he's taken, including ones taken in other places they've visited. Checking their map, they see that Montenevera is still quite a long distance away, so they decide to stay in the cabin overnight and set out the next morning, though they'll need to gather firewood to keep themselves warm through the night. As such, they choose to split up to collect some firewood on their own, telling each other to get back before dark and to steer clear of Beartic's territory.

Roy starts gathering some sticks to be used as firewood in the woods. Seeing {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} being thanked for bringing in some firewood, Fuecoco also decides to help. Eventually, Roy has gathered enough firewood to bring back, but Fuecoco is nowhere in sight. Snow starts to fall as Roy and Kilowattrel spread out to search for Fuecoco. Fuecoco, meanwhile, is trying to bring in more firewood, but ends up tripping and dropping his sticks into a trench. He tries to retrieve them, but ends up falling down as well. During his search, Roy only finds Frigibax, who has become covered in a layer of snow that makes him briefly mistake it for Fuecoco, as well the snowman they made earlier, making him realize he's been going in circles. Fuecoco hears Roy calling out to him and heads towards him, but just as the two arrive within eyesight from each other, a pile of snow falls on top of Fuecoco and hides him from Roy just long enough for him to run away when he hears Beartic roaring in the distance. Meanwhile, Liko and Dot have both returned to the cabin with their share of the firewood and wonder where Roy could be.

Outside, night has fallen over the forest. Both Roy and Fuecoco start feeling sad from being separated from each other, but manage to motivate themselves to keep going by singing their song. Soon enough, the sound of Roy's singing leads Fuecoco to him, and the two of them share an emotional reunion, all thanks to their song. As they head back to the cabin, Roy and Fuecoco spot Frigibax and Cubchoo eating Berries from a bush. Cubchoo's presence makes Roy realize that Beartic must also be nearby, indeed spotting it a short distance away only seconds later. However, before he can convince Fuecoco to leave the Berries behind, he sees Bergmite approaching. Wanting to avoid another fight, Roy hastily disguises Frigibax to look like Fuecoco using a red scarf. At first, this works, but then some snow falls on Fuecoco again, making him look like a Frigibax once more. Before a fight can break out, however, Fuecoco sneezes, making the snow covering him look more like a Cubchoo, making Bergmite calm down. After enjoying some Berries with his new friends, Roy and his Pokémon finally return to the cabin. He starts telling his friends what happened, only for Dot to ask what happened to the firewood he was supposed to bring. Roy feels awkward having forgotten all about the firewood, but is sure cuddling up with Fuecoco will enough to provide warmth. After sleeping through the night in the cabin, the trio resumes their journey towards Montenevera, Roy and Fuecoco now feeling better about their chances to pass their test than ever.
