In the end, Kael did not manage to ask anything about those Pokémon. After all, it was very likely the core secret of the other party's Pokémon training.
Under Kael's gaze, Cain pushed open the door and strode into that ancient temple. Kael could only stay to the side, watching Cain enter with a mysterious smile.
Kael had not personally defeated the guardian Pokémon, so according to the rules, he could not enter the temple.
Cain did not worry about him either.
After entering the temple, just as Cain had imagined, inside there were sculptures of Pokémon.
To be more exact, they were sculptures of Dragon-type Pokémon. Cain knew all these Dragon-type Pokémon, and even felt that they seemed somewhat familiar.
After thinking carefully, he discovered that these sculptures were extremely similar to those in the Dragon Space.
The only difference was that at the end of the sculptures in the Dragon Space, there was a statue engraved with Rayquaza, the Dragon of the Sky, while in this temple, the final sculpture was... Giratina!
It was no wonder the Drako family had records about the Dragon of the Underworld and part of the information on Giratina, the Dragon of the Underworld.
This was probably one of the main reasons why the Dragon-type Pokémon of this branch of the Dragon's Den had separated from the Dragon Space.
The Dragon-type Pokémon of the Dragon Space served Rayquaza, the Dragon of the Sky, while the Drako family of the Dragon's Den served Giratina, the Dragon of the Underworld. It had to be said that this was a considerable point of conflict.
A conflict of faith!
Cain walked up to the mural where Giratina, the Dragon of the Underworld, was engraved and stretched out his hand to feel it lightly.
It was only ordinary stone, with nothing special about it.
"Perhaps the Drako family stopped serving the so-called Dragon of the Underworld a long time ago. Only, the origin of the Dragon's Den is here, so they preserved this."
Cain thought this silently.
In front of this statue there was a stone table, and on it countless Dragon Scales were neatly placed.
They were piled one on top of another, covering the entire surface of the table.
Just from the number of these Dragon Scales, one could see that this was an important treasure accumulated by the Drako family for who knew how many years!
Because after Cain scanned these Dragon Scales, he discovered that none of them was ordinary. Any one of them circulating in the market would cause a great commotion!
There was not a single one that was not a reverse scale left behind by a Champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon!
These Dragon Scales alone already represented an enormous wealth difficult to estimate.
This was one of the deep foundations of the Drako family!
At the same time, while Cain scanned these Dragon Scales, he discovered the secret of that stone platform.
If he was not mistaken, the reason this Dragon's Den could be filled with such dense Dragon-type energy was probably because so many Champion-level Dragon Scales were accumulated here. At the same time, this platform dispersed the energy of the Dragon Scales and injected that energy into the pond of the Dragon's Den. This was what caused so much Dragon-type energy to be concentrated in the Dragon's Den.
While Cain marveled at the accumulated depth of the Drako family, he made a new discovery.
His psychic power stirred and carefully lifted all the Dragon Scales from the stone platform.
"In this way, no one should be able to discover it, right?" Cain said calmly.
The suspended Dragon Scales still had the same appearance as at the beginning, but beneath them, Cain saw an unexpected gain that belonged to him.
Two fist-sized stone fragments!
They were stones Cain knew very well. Back then, in the Dragon Space, he had obtained something exactly the same.
Fragments of the Sky Plate!
Cain carefully took the two Sky Plate fragments from the platform.
These two plate fragments had no effect on the entire platform. They could even be considered simple decorations.
"Tsk, leaving something this good thrown here... isn't that a waste?"
Cain could not help making this complaint.
Since the people of the Drako family did not know how to use these two Sky Plate fragments, Cain did not mind helping them.
After all, if these two adorable plate fragments remained here for another several dozen or hundred years, would it not be a little pitiful?
So Cain discreetly stored the two Sky Plate fragments in his pocket.
As for those Dragon Scales, although their value was also very high, Cain did not have too much interest in them.
He returned them to their original position and walked back to the mural of Giratina.
With a thought, he used his psychic power to leave a special mark on the mural. Within that mark, he left the path to the Distortion World.
He believed that, after some time, under his stimulation, Kael would be capable of defeating the five guardian Pokémon. By then, Kael's psychic power, after accumulating for a period, would no longer be like now, unable even to use its abilities.
Kael's talent in psychic power was quite good.
After doing all this, Cain left the temple without looking back.
Seeing that Kael was still waiting outside, he again gave him a meaningful pat on the shoulder, leaving him stunned.
"Let's go."
After saying this, he directly took him with Teleport to the entrance of the Dragon's Den.
Kael did not even have time to react before Cain took him out of there in confusion.
"Cele!"
Just as Cain came out of the Dragon's Den, a faint voice appeared beside his ear, and that voice became clearer and clearer.
Cain narrowed his eyes and knew that, more or less, the time to return had arrived.
"I must leave soon as well. Thank you for taking me to the Dragon's Den," Cain said to Kael.
Hearing this, Kael was stunned. He saw Cain's figure slowly disappear before him. It was not a disappearance through Teleport, but rather, he was gradually fading like an afterimage.
"What is your name?" Kael asked before Cain disappeared completely.
Although he had only met him that very same day, Kael felt that this person might bring a great influence to his future.
"Cain..."
Before disappearing completely, Cain left his name behind.
"Cain... huh?"
Kael heard that name and firmly engraved it in his heart.
