Chapter 334 - 334: The Black Stone Pillar
"It's a map fragment that looks like this. If you find it, just take it, as it won't be of use to you. However, if it stays here, it will keep attracting people constantly," Cain said as he showed the map fragment he had already used, addressing the elder Gastly.
"Ah, so that's what it was. It suddenly appeared in our cave, teleported out of nowhere, and we never knew what it was for. I didn't imagine it was what attracted humans," replied the elder Gastly.
After saying this, the elder Gastly immediately ordered other Gastly to bring the item.
Since it was something of no use to them and only brought unnecessary trouble, they decided to hand it over to Cain.
Haunter, after entering, started communicating with the other Gastly. Although they didn't recognize him at first, after a few words, they realized he was the same Haunter they had played with before.
Soon, one of the Gastly handed the map fragment to Cain.
"Thank you, Cain, for helping me solve another problem," said the elder Gastly with a smile.
Cain smiled and nodded without saying anything.
This group of Gastly was where Haunter had been born and raised. It wasn't an ordinary wild Pokémon community that Cain could simply destroy without consequences. If he tried, it would undoubtedly affect his relationship with Haunter in an irreversible way.
"If you have anything else to say, Cain, please feel free to. You are a true friend of our group, and if we can help you, we will not refuse," said the elder Gastly, noticing Cain's hesitation.
"In that case, I'll be direct. Last time I was here, I saw the stone pillar at the back of the cave that constantly releases ghost energy. Although I can't fully understand it yet, there's something I need, and I might find it there."
