Suddenly, heavy snow swept across the entire glacier, blotting out the sky and obscuring everything in sight.
But a moment later, the snow abruptly sped away as though it were alive, then vanished without a trace.
"Did they escape? Or are they hiding?" Dian finally understood why there were so few Ghost-type Pokémon Trainers.
Most Ghost-type Pokémon were first-rate at escaping and hiding.
