Snowpoint City

Snowpoint City is a city in the Sinnoh region. It's the city that Giratina picked long ago to hold Seirei, the Fairy Plate. The Mokusetsu previously visited this city in search of the Plate.

Snowpoint City is also the hometown of Zoey Williams.

Plate
In ancient times when Arceus created its special move, "Omnipotent Purēto Scatter", it had Giratina pick out several cities and towns around the world to hide all 17 Plates. Snowpoint City was one of these locations. The Plate that was hidden here was Seirei, the Fairy Plate.

Fairy Plate
Alain, Ash, Dawn, Zoey, Barry, and Kenny first arrived in Snowpoint City, covered in light snow, at the end of Episode 22. Continuing in Episode 23, as soon as they arrived here and with no hesitation from him, Alain had Zoey start the meditation process for becoming a Grass Manipulator, since they had the Grass Plate, Midori. With this being the first person becoming a Manipulator in modern times who was never a member of the Tekiyoku, Alain guided the entire process and explained Manipulation energy afterwards. He made sure Zoey learned her healing ability, Natural Restoration first.

After hanging through the city and talking, they looked for the Fairy Plate, Seirei, that afternoon. While doing this, Alain sensed two people approaching, so he told Zoey to hide with Dawn, Kenny, and Pikachu, since she just became a Manipulator and didn't know how to use her moves yet. They were approached by Tekiyoku members Argus Steele and Mars.

As fighting started, Alain suddenly dodged an attack from someone with a kunai, but got caught with a little of the blade in his shoulder. It was a third Tekiyoku person joining the fight, codenamed Jupiter. Alain couldn't sense her earlier because she's a Ghost Manipulator. After changing battle plans, Alain fought Jupiter, Ash fought Mars, and Barry fought Argus.

During the fight, Jupiter used moves unfamiliar to Ash and Barry, since Alain hadn't yet explained Ghost Manipulation at this point. At one point, Barry started attacking Ash. This turned out to be Jupiter taking over Barry's body. Alain ended up focing Jupiter out of Barry's body with one of his Psychic moves. As Ash and Alain were victorious over Jupiter and Mars, Argus had now recovered and was about to attack, but Zoey intervened by using Nature's Grasp to hold him back. The Mokusetsu defeated the enemy, who then retreated.

After the fight, Alain fussed at Zoey for using a move against his wishes. Zoey thanked Dawn for telling her about the move in the first place. But, Dawn wasn't there. Shortly after, Dawn returned to them with the Fairy Plate in her hand. She said she had found a fountain during the fight, went into it, and wished for the Plate. The Plate then appeared in her hand, leading to confusion, but adoration to her for finding the Plate.

Ursula's Return and Barry's Thoughts
In Episode 24, later that afternoon, Alain tells them they'll stay in Snowpoint City for a few days to train Zoey on Grass Manipulation. He also informs Zoey that they'll do a news segment later on the 6:00 news to update the world on the Mokusetsu and ask for people to join if they see them around. Kenny also comically starts his Plate-searching team with himself, Dawn, and Ash's Pikachu. Alain and Zoey film the news segment, while Ash talks with Dawn more to ease her nerves, as their friendship gets better.

Skipping a small amount of time, one day while still in Snowpoint, they're approached by a girl who asks if she can travel with the Mokusetsu. It's Ursula, one of Dawn's bullies from Sinnoh Academy. Dawn is shocked and very afraid when seeing her. Ursula remarked that it's been a while since she's seen Dawn. Continuing in Episode 25, the others mistakenly think the two of them are good friends from the academy. Ursula impresses Alain with her martial arts skills and officially travel with them for the next portion of their journey.

Later, Barry paces back and forth on his own, thinking of the strength that Paul surely possess. He starts to wonder more about how powerful Dark Manipulation must be and ponders becoming a Dark Manipulator. At this point, Alain hadn't explained the Manipulation in detail, but he told them how no one can be a Dark Manipulator these days, since they'd surely die from not being evil enough and failing the judgment from the Dark Plate, Kowamote.

Dawn desperately tried to hang with Ash during a break to avoid being confronted by Ursula. They did, but Usrula came during this anyway and ended up getting Ash to leave. Ursula expressed her anger with Dawn for leaving Jubilife City and making Ursula, Misty, and Iris pay the Tekiyoku taxes on their own. She then beats Dawn up during this, but not too much to leave obvious marks.

That night, Barry paces outside of the hotel while the others were asleep. He ponders truly becoming a Dark Manipulator in order to stop Paul. Kenny was watching from a corner, undetected.

The next day, Ursula drags Dawn away from the others to talk, under the guise of having a happy and friendly hangout. Ursula demands $300 from Dawn to make up for all the time she's been away and not helping herself, Misty, nor Iris with the Tekiyoku taxes. Dawn doesn't have the money, prompting Ursula to beat Dawn up again, worse this time. Dawn ends up crying and has bruises on her arm. Ash notices that later, but Dawn, too afraid to tell anyone about Ursula, says she got the bruise from clumsily tripping earlier.

Late that night while the others were asleep, Barry walked outside the hotel to a clearing. He heard a voice within himself saying he should become a Dark Manipulator. He then encounters Paul for the first time since he betrayed Barry and Zoey. Continuing in Episode 26, Barry tries to strike Paul, but he evades every strike and then strikes Barry. Kenny, who was watching again, comes out and approaches the scene. Paul remarks that Barry is not a Manipulator yet and then leaves. Barry tells Kenny about his thoughts about becoming a Dark Manipulator. Kenny talks him out of this and calms him down, saying he doesn't need that kind of power to defeat Paul.

The next day, Barry expresses to Alain that he's ready to become an Electric Manipulator. Alain says they'll do that when getting to their next destination, Eterna City. Dawn quickly pulls Ash away with her when a break from training starts, to avoid Ursula being alone with her again. They hang out during this break. Later, they keep walking towards Eterna City.

Trivia

 * Snowpoint City is simply named after the words, "snow" and "point". The word "point" could've been used due to the city's Japanese name, "Kissaki City", coming from 切っ先 kissaki, meaning the tip of a blade.
