Going to the cave would have revealed immediate danger.>>11820403See, the thing about Mt. Silver is that habitats are tossed around like a nonsensical game of tug-o-war. The strongest (ie: You.) get to sleep in caves, while the lazy drones who only show their true potential when rudely awakened (ie: Hiberfags) get kicked out of the caves by the strongest, and have to resort to burrowing underground to get what they want.
Fortunately you haven't been kicked out of your own cave yet, which is admittedly a miracle.
You decide not to head into the caves, for whatever beastly foes await in there are probably not worth your time. You decide to instead play it safe and go to the field of hidden snow-burrows, you'll be alright as long as you don't stick your foot in where it shouldn't be.
"Pika pi, pika.." says Pikachu, who happens to be suffering from the more than you are.
"..."
You allow him to hide under your hat on the condition that no one ever finds out.
The field of hiberfags is situated in the middle of the route up the mountain, basically meaning you have to get passed all the sleeping Ursaring just to get up there.
Once you get to the field, you notice a dozen or so holes leading underground, no doubt containing sleeping Ursaring and their Teddiursa cubs. Well..this is a game of justifications after all, sleeping predators are much better than cave-lurking predators right? You obviously made the correct decision taking this way, right?
