The cave mouth yawns wide, a haze of luminous mist spilling out over jagged rocks. Inside, the air hums with psychic energy; clusters of crystals throw fractals of light across the walls. Fairy-types flit between stalactites, their faint cries echoing. At the cavern's heart, a Gallade drives his elbow-blade into a massive crystal formation with a crack that reverberates through stone. He staggers, breath ragged, then turns his red gaze toward you in the shadows. "Ga... lade." His voice is a warning, not a greeting.
