Chapter 537 - 536: Dusclops
Upon arriving here, most people were accompanied by one or two ghost-type Pokémon.
However, trainers specializing in these Pokémon always appeared exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes.
Unlike other League trainers, they didn't greet one another or exchange smiles upon meeting. Each focused on their own business, ignoring everyone else.
Because of this, it's said that trainers specializing in ghost-type Pokémon tend to behave in ways others might find strange or uncomfortable. Furthermore, among all Pokémon types, ghost-type trainers are the least numerous.
Cain decided it was unnecessary for Haunter to remain hidden in his shadow, allowing it to come out and accompany him. Haunter seemed very lively in this place, as the ghost-type energy saturating the environment made it feel quite comfortable.
Climbing the mountain's stairs, even though the sun shone in the sky, there was a dimness in the air, and the sunlight didn't provide its usual warmth to the body.
Cain knew there was an inner region within Mt. Pyre. If Haunter wanted to evolve perfectly, it would be better to venture into that area where ghost-type energy was more concentrated.
This area was still part of Mt. Pyre's outskirts.
Although the ghost-type energy here was much more abundant than in other places, for Haunter, it only meant faster recovery. It didn't have the density he experienced on Trial Island, where he absorbed much more potent ghostly energy.
In other words, the quantity here was sufficient, but the quality wasn't.
Reaching halfway up the mountain, Cain stopped. While continuing up the stairs to the summit was easier and more comfortable, many trainers had already taken that path and found no entrance to the inner areas.
