Chapter 54 - 54: Telepathy
The slippery ground, covered in moss, made every step produce a "squeak," and one had to pay close attention to force and angle to avoid falling.
"Yadon!" Suddenly, Slowpoke let out a cry, its eyes lighting up with a blue glow, clearly preparing to attack.
Hearing Slowpoke's cry, Cain felt a slight discomfort. Everything was too quiet.
This place wasn't like Tyranitar's cave, which was cold and dry, an environment few Pokémon enjoy. This cave was cold and damp, a favorable habitat for many Pokémon.
However, as they ventured deeper into the cave, aside from a group of Zubat at the entrance, they hadn't encountered any other Pokémon.
Perhaps thanks to Slowpoke's warning, a spherical Pokémon began to slowly appear. A purple gas spread in the air, surrounding a black sphere in the center. Its eyes took up half its body, and below them was a large mouth with two prominent fangs.
The Pokémon that appeared was a Gastly, a Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon known for its mischievous nature and love of pranks.
Slowpoke had detected Gastly's presence. Being a Psychic-type Pokémon, it was naturally sensitive to ghostly energies. When Gastly appeared to scare them, Slowpoke had already warned them.
"Caw!" Murkrow flapped its wings, dispersing some of the purple gas surrounding Gastly, positioning itself in front of Cain.
As a Dark-type Pokémon, Murkrow had a natural advantage against Ghost-types, so it showed no fear, even when faced with a sudden Gastly.
"Kekeke!" Gastly smiled broadly and, with an exaggerated laugh, made a mocking face.
