"Roy, what's going on? What did that Dreepy say?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Roy had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure if it was true.
The two followed Dreepy deeper into the land, leaving Meteor Village.
At this moment, Dreepy was heading in the direction of the Meteor Cave, which Alai had previously warned the two against going to.
Meteor Cave appears completely desolate from the outside, resembling a... very large cemetery.
Meteor Cave?
Isn't this the forbidden area that Alai mentioned?
Dreepy passed directly through the wall and entered the Meteor Cave.
Roy and Steven aren't Ghost type Pokémon, so they don't have the ability to pass through walls. The two of them can only stare at each other helplessly.
After a while
"Doryu, Doryu"
Dreepy had passed through the Meteor Cave, returned and patted his head sheepishly.
He then realized that Roy and Steven couldn't pass through directly like he could.
Dreepy led Roy around to the other side of the Meteor Cave, pointed to the large rock on the ground, and gestured for Roy to push it away.
Roy picked up the stone and threw it aside, revealing a hole about half a person's size hidden behind it.
If you don't push the rocks aside, you won't even notice the hole.
Dreepy watched as Roy lifted the stone with his bare hands, recalling how the long dragon from before had to be pushed by his body for ages.
Dreepy entered the Meteor Cave through the entrance and beckoned Roy and Steven to come in as well.
Roy and Steven exchanged a glance, then followed Dreepy through the opening into the Meteor Cave.
Upon entering the Meteor Cave, Steven felt an unexpected chill in the air.
Logically speaking, the temperature inside such a cave should be higher than the outside temperature.
The chill that Steven felt was a strong Ghost type aura to Roy.
However, the reason for the strong Ghost type aura here is different from that of the back mountain of Rustboro City and the Mt. Pyre. The back mountain of Rustboro City is caused by the Ghost Soul Slate.
Mt. Pyre has a strong Ghost type aura because it is connected to the Spirit World and contains a large number of buried Pokémon.
Just as Alai mentioned before, Meteor Cave is Dragon Tomb, where countless Dragon-type Pokémon are buried, so the Ghost type aura is also very strong.
What puzzled him was that the Ghost type aura here was strong, but apart from Dreepy, there were no other Ghost type Pokémon.
However, his doubts were quickly resolved. Led by Dreepy, Roy and Steven saw several huge remains. Judging from the shape of the bones and the outline of the wings, it should be the remains of a Salamence.
The remains were still emanating a faint aura of power, suggesting that the remains were at least Intermediate King level or higher Salamence.
At the same time, this oppressive aura also spread into the dense Ghost type atmosphere within the cave.
Roy finally understood that ordinary Ghost type Pokémon n't withstand the pressure of the Dragon type Ghost-type energy- type Pokémon.
But Dreepy is different. He is Ghost type / Dragon type, so he can absorb both Ghost-type energy and Dragon type energy in Meteor Cave.
Dreepy watched the two people who had stopped to examine the bones. He didn't know what was so interesting about that pile of bones; he saw such things every day.
What Roy didn't notice was that the Ghost Soul Slate inside his Spatial Bracelet was emitting a bright light.
Meanwhile, Ghost type energy was continuously being absorbed into the Spatial Bracelet within the Meteor Cave.
This scene was witnessed by Gengar, which was hidden in the shadows behind Roy.
He didn't understand what was inside Roy's Spatial Bracelet, and the last time the Dusclops evolved, a beam of light shone from Roy's Spatial Bracelet onto the Dusclops.
But that had nothing to do with him; all he had to do was obey Agatha's orders and protect Roy.
"Doron, Doron."
Dreepy led the way for the two of them.
The deeper one goes into the Meteor Cave, the darker it becomes, but darkness is nothing to Dreepy; he actually prefers to stay in the dark.
The Litwick on Roy's shoulder ignited, illuminating the path ahead.
Looking at the Litwick on Roy's shoulder, which could both keep him warm and provide light, Steven thought it was incredibly useful. If he ever went on an adventure, having such a multi-functional Pokémon...
The two followed Dreepy as they traversed the caves. Along the way, Steven saw many beautiful stones scattered throughout the caves, including quite a few that emitted a rainbow of light.
But now was not the time to worry about the stones. He followed closely behind Roy, knowing he could only pick them up when he returned.
The two followed Dreepy forward until they passed through a huge cave and noticed a huge dark shadow ahead.
When the Litwick lit the Ember on its head to their brightest, a massive body appeared before the two of them.
It was a Dragonite, but Dragonite skin was loose, its face and body were covered with wrinkles, and its two antennae on its head drooped limply.

"Doryu!"
Dreepy wasn't afraid at all when it saw Dragonite, and quickly flew up to Dragonite.
Dragonite saw Dreepy return to the cave, his worried expression relaxed.
However, upon seeing two humans following behind Dreepy, Dragonite became wary, as he couldn't recall finding any such people in his memory.
These two are neither Dragon Tamers from Meteor Village, nor Meteor People. In particular, there seems to be something in Roy's shadow, and his strength is not weak.
How dare they trespass into forbidden territory!
"Roar!!
The aura of High-level Elite Four Pokémon emanated from Dragonite, and a wave of pressure swept over Roy and Steven.
Although Dragonite is old and frail, the aura it exudes still makes it hard for Steven and Roy to breathe.
It was only when Gengar, hidden in Roy's shadow, stepped forward and released a Ghostly Purple aura that the oppressive force dissipated, allowing Roy and Steven to breathe normally.
Dragonite looked at Gengar, who was also High-level Elite Four member.
Is this the Pokémon in the other person's shadow?
He remembered battling this kind of Pokémon before, something like Gengar.
A major battle seemed imminent between the two.
"Doryu, Doryu!"
Dreepy quickly floated between Dragonite and Roy, explaining to Dragonite that Roy was his friend.
I just gave him some treats. He invited Roy to meet Dragonite on his own initiative; it has nothing to do with Roy.
After hearing Dreepy's explanation, Dragonite gave up the idea of fighting Gengar.
A white breath Spit Up out of his nose.
