Chapter 51 - 51: Larvitar Egg
Cain looked at the hole, momentarily stunned. "How can there be a cave in a place like this? And it looks like it's been here a long time."
The cave showed signs of having been dug, yet parts appeared natural. Clearly, it had originally been a natural cave that some Pokémon had expanded.
The claw marks on the dug-out sections were already somewhat faded. Based on Cain's knowledge, it was clear that these marks could not have been made by a Geodude or a Graveler.
"Slowpoke, sense if there's any Pokémon inside," Cain instructed his Slowpoke.
"Yadon~" Slowpoke slightly closed its eyes, and a subtle psychic wave began to spread from its body.
A few moments later, Slowpoke shook its head toward Cain, indicating it didn't sense any Pokémon presence.
Seeing Slowpoke's confirmation, Cain relaxed a bit. He took a flashlight from his Rocket belt and turned it on, illuminating the cave. The end of it was out of sight.
After a brief hesitation, he decided to move forward. The space was relatively tight, so Murkrow perched on top of Slowpoke, who used its psychic power to stay close to Cain.
After walking for several minutes, Cain noticed the cave expanding. He quickened his pace slightly, and finally, after five minutes, he reached the end.
The end of the cave was a spacious area, but aside from rocks, there was nothing else.
"How strange, could it just be an empty cave?" Cain murmured to himself while examining the area.
