I've been WAY colder before." He says with way too cheerful for a kid out in this cold. He says he's not cold, but the raise bumps on his skin paint a different picture.

"Besides, Pikachu's plenty warm." He gently pets the yellow creature on his shoulder. "I'm Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu. 'Guess you could say we're kinda new here." He admits.
