Several days later, Izabe Island, Priga City.
Only after Dian set foot in Priga City did he suddenly remember that, as far as he knew, this vast island was home to more than just Trapinch. Snorunt, Froslass, Glalie, and even rare Pokémon such as Absol, Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir were also commonly seen here.
