After passing through the narrow passage, Xia You and Sabrina finally reached the deepest part of the cave.
The space here was extremely spacious, with crystals everywhere, making the entire cave look like a vast maze built from crystal. A beam of sunlight spilling through a crack refracted again and again, making the place as bright as day!
"If I ever run out of money and end up destitute, I think I'll just come here to mine crystals. I'd definitely get rich overnight and reach the pinnacle of life!"
Xia You voiced his admiration without thinking, but all he got in return was a huge eye roll from Sabrina.
"Former champion forced by hardship to become a miner. I think that headline would make everyone's jaw drop!"
Perhaps spending so much time with Xia You had rubbed off on her, because Sabrina actually made a rare joke.
Xia You laughed, unbothered, and put away his flashlight before looking toward the center of the cave.
A stream barely a dozen centimeters wide flowed steadily into a small underground lake.
The lake water was clear and icy. Even before approaching it, they could already feel its damp chill.
But when Xia You looked around, he saw no sign of the Crystal Onix.
Even when he looked into the lake, there was no movement underwater, and only faint ripples disturbed the surface.
"Huh?" Xia You scratched his head. "Did it go out to forage? Or has someone already caught it?"
"No." Sabrina pointed to a spot in the lake. "I can sense something there. I don't know how it's hiding, but it should be the Pokémon we're looking for!"
"That's right!" Haunter added. "There really is a Pokémon hiding itself there!"
Sabrina had psychic powers, while Haunter was also skilled at sensing things.
