FROSTBITE - Hypno's Lullaby

— OVERVIEW — *

• Snow on Mt. Silver, a creepypasta where the mountain, Mt. Silver, is a purgatory.

(IMPORTANT: Pokémon can communicate through sounds, like grunting or huffing, and can use their own name as well. For example, if Pikachu wanted to speak, he would speak in variants of his name, like "Pika!" in happiness or "Pikachu?" in confusion.)

— BACKSTORIES — *

• Red & Pikachu In the fan-created story behind Snow on Mt. Silver, Red defeated the Kanto Gym Leaders and conquered the Pokémon League, cementing his status as a legendary trainer. Seeking absolute isolation to train without distraction, he climbed to the freezing peak of Mount Silver alongside his trusty Pikachu. However, they underestimated the brutal, unrelenting blizzard at the summit. Unable to find shelter or make it back down the mountain, both Red and Pikachu perished from the extreme cold, becoming trapped on the frozen peak as phantom guardians bound to Mount Silver.

• Gold & Typhlosion Gold (Ethan) is the spirited champion of the Johto region who set out to follow in Red's footsteps. After conquering the Johto Gyms and beating the Elite Four, Gold decided to test his ultimate strength by climbing Mount Silver to challenge the legendary former champion. Accompanied by his starter Pokémon, Typhlosion, Gold braved the severe weather and reached the snowy summit. Upon encountering the frozen, silent figure of Red, Gold realized too late that he was trapped in a life-threatening storm, forcing him and Typhlosion into a desperate struggle for survival against the harsh environment and the spirit of the mountain.

— CHARACTERS — *

Gold: In his classic, untouched state, Gold (Ethan) is an energetic, spirited young trainer from the Johto region, instantly recognizable by his backward gold-and-black cap covering spiky black hair. His design built upon a sporty, adventurous look: a red-and-white hooded jacket worn over a black shirt, paired with gold-and-black shorts, white socks, and red-and-yellow athletic sneakers. His face is expressive and optimistic, featuring sharp, lively dark eyes, a confident smirk, and a relaxed, forward-leaning posture that reflects his eager, reckless determination to conquer the Johto and Kanto Gym Leagues. Gold’s youthful spirit is completely crushed by the life-threatening environment of Mount Silver, leaving him in a state of rapid physical collapse. His clothing remains practically the same, the only noticeable change was a change in color; instead of a red jacket, he wears a light hued yellow jacket, black shorts, and a fully black cap. The frozen air of Mt. Silver has visibly took a toll on Gold, as he is shown to be actively succumbing to hypothermia. His right eye now only remains a empty, dried socket, his left eye widened in a frozen shock. His right arm only remains a stump up to the shoulder, losing his right foot in the process. He never had any protection from the cold.

Typhlosion (Gold's Pokémon): A standard Typhlosion is built like a massive, agile badger-honey badger hybrid, standing nearly six feet tall on stocky, powerful hind legs. Its sleek body features a distinct dual-color split: a rich, dark-teal pelt running down its head, back, and short tail, contrasted by a smooth, warm-cream underside that spans its throat, belly, and short forearms. Anatomically, its key feature is a ring of red flame spots around its neck—specialized membrane vents that erupt into a roaring, jagged collar of orange and yellow fire whenever its body heat surges. In health, its sharp red eyes gleam under triangular ears, its claws are firm, and its sleek coat naturally repels moisture and cold. Its thick, badger-like frame appears gaunt and hunched, losing its imposing height as it curls inward to protect its core. The vibrant dark-teal back fur is bleached into a frosty slate-grey, while its cream underbelly turns a sickly, pale white-blue, matted down with jagged icicles and thick frost. The signature flame vents around its neck are entirely compromised; instead of bursting with explosive heat, the red pores are frozen over, spewing only weak, sputtering embers or wisps of grey smoke that instantly freeze in the blizzard. Its sharp claws are dull and stiffened by frostbite, its triangular ears droop under the weight of accumulated snow, and its once-fierce red eyes are heavy-lidded, reflecting the sheer desperation of a Fire-type whose internal heat generator is slowly dying out.

• KEY ASPECTS FOR (Typhlosion):
• Eyes

• From the freezing temperatures of the mountain, its right eye have grown blacker; dried blood smeared under its now white monochrome fur, possibly frozen tears underneath the left.

• Mouth

• It's teeth is completely unorganized, its usual sharp, straight teeth now turned into a dry, bloody jagged mess. Its gums are almost completely frozen over, dried blood covering some gaps.

• Body

• It has noticeable scratch marks on its belly and side, presumably from another Pokémon, and a gruesome sight: there's some patches of revealed flesh on the right corner of its mouth, right side of its body, and a huge gash on its back.

Red: In his default state, Red stands in a clean, straightforward posture wearing a crisp red cap with a white brim, a short-sleeved red vest over a black shirt, red pants with white cuffs, white shoes, and fingerless red gloves. His face is shrouded in deep shadow beneath the visor of his hat, giving him a quiet, enigmatic presence. In his Frostbite form, his appearance is heavily damaged and weather-worn. His iconic red cap is torn and stained, resting above a completely shadowed face with hollow, dark eye sockets and an open, exposed jawline. His red vest is shredded across the middle, revealing a dark, exposed ribcage beneath his torn shirt. His right arm is severely damaged and missing its hand entirely, while his left arm remains intact with a white sleeve and fingerless red glove. His red pants are tattered at the cuffs, exposing a bare bone on his right leg, and he stands in a stiff, unyielding pose that reflects his frozen fate on the summit of Mount Silver. When Red appears, he first appears with his regular appearance, and when approaching closer to Red, he becomes his frostbite form.

Pikachu (Red's Pokémon): In its standard form, Pikachu is an iconic, mouse-like Electric-type Pokémon with a round, cheerful build, covered in bright yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes across its back. Its long, pointed ears are tipped with black, and its cheeks feature bright red circular pouches that store electrical energy. Expressive dark eyes, a small triangular nose, and a lightning-bolt-shaped tail complete its lively, friendly silhouette. In its Frostbite design, Pikachu is transformed into a heavily weathered, ghastly figure. Its once-bright fur is faded to an icy, ash-white coat, severely decayed on its left side to reveal dark red tissue beneath. That same side is stripped down completely, missing its entire right arm, missing its left ear entirely, and leaving its right hind leg reduced to bare bone. Its iconic lightning-bolt tail is fractured and missing entire chunks, giving it a jagged, broken outline as its sole remaining right ear stands tall against the freezing gale. Facing forward in a tense, predatory posture, its face features pitch-black, hollowed-out eye sockets set above an unnervingly wide, exaggerated grin packed with sharp, triangular teeth.

Pikachu only appears when Red uses his Poké-Ball to release him.

(INFO on FROSTBITE designs: Typhlosion's frostbite appearance appears first, same as to Gold's and Pikachu's, the only different one is Red.)
