Pokémon Kalos Region [GLITTERING CAVE]

The Kalos region (Japanese: カロス地方 Kalos region)

Glittering Cave (Japanese: 輝きの洞窟 Glittering Cave) is a cave in southern Kalos. It is where the player initially encounters Team Flare.

Geography

The first part of the cave is a long, narrow entrance cave with several detours. All these detours lead to dead ends, however. The cave walls are covered in Luminous Moss and crystals, illuminating the cave interior. There are nine predetermined spots in this section of the cave that may contain dark shadows, and upon running into one, a wild Pokémon will leap out of the shadow and attack. These encounters cannot be avoided with Repels. Each time the player enters this section of the map, five of the spots will be randomly chosen to contain shadows; upon leaving and re-entering the area, the random spots will respawn and be reshuffled.

At the end of the narrow cave is a larger, open cave, where a couple of rock-filled mine carts can be found. This is also where the Scientists from the Ambrette Fossil Lab come to dig for Fossils. When the player first visits the cave, Team Flare members can be found here, trying to steal Fossils in order to sell them for profit.
