Chapter 40 - 40: Heart of Vengeance
After organizing Murkrow and Slowpoke, Cain sat beside the cave.
This time, it truly was an unexpected disaster. He was merely walking near the river when he encountered a powerful ruler of the area.
Both Pokémon took a significant hit.
However, for Cain, who had explored wild areas in his past life, encountering powerful Pokémon in their territory and being driven off like this was nothing new.
"Don't look so down; it's just about living a few more years. As long as we train hard, sooner or later, we'll regain what we lost today," Cain said to console them.
With Cain's words, they began to relax as well, transforming their frustration into an inexhaustible source of motivation.
We must become stronger and reclaim what's ours!
Although they wanted to start training right away, both Murkrow and Slowpoke were injured to varying degrees, so Cain ordered them to train only after they had fully healed.
Thus, in the cave at night, only the sounds of the waterfall and the crackling firewood could be heard; there were no other sounds.
Murkrow lay obediently against the cave wall, eyes closed, digesting the Pokéblocks. Each time it finished absorbing the energy, it would eat another Pokéblock and continue the digestion process.
Although Pokéblocks are automatically absorbed after being consumed, the process can be sped up by mobilizing the body's internal energy, increasing the flow to digest the Pokéblocks faster.
