Chapter 45 - 45: The First Subordinate
Upon hearing Cain's words, Soros's face turned pale. He hadn't expected things to reach this point. Observing the Murkrow flying above Cain's head and the pink Slowpoke by his side, Soros understood everything.
He realized that he had underestimated Cain. While everyone else struggled to train their first Pokémon, Cain had already captured a second, and both were incredibly powerful.
Comparing the forces in the field, Soros realized that his team was at a disadvantage.
Glaring at Cain, if looks could kill, Cain would have died a thousand times. Finally, gritting his teeth, Soros spat out a few words: "This time, we lost. Let's go!"
With that, he grabbed the dazed man and tried to retreat.
Cain sneered and said, "Now you want to leave? Don't you think it's a little too late? Murkrow, use Gust."
Hearing this, Murkrow flapped its wings, and a whirlwind appeared behind them, blocking their retreat.
"Cain, don't push it. If we keep this up, we'll die together."
Soros's face twisted with rage, his eyes burning. He had never felt so humiliated; even when Xander spoke to him, it was never with such disrespect.
"Die together? If the fish dies, the net won't break. Want to test it out?"
Cain said as he stepped forward, followed closely by Slowpoke. Someone who had tried to kill him couldn't just leave like that, without consequences. That wasn't Cain's style.
