Chapter 71 - 71: The Four Factions
When Cain appeared again in the central plaza of the base, he was only accompanied by Murkrow.
Slowpoke had returned to his Poké Ball, while Gastly had hidden in Cain's shadow.
Because the third trial was about to begin, the plaza was gradually filling with more people.
In the previously empty plaza, besides the large test stone that still stood in the center of the elevated stage, there was now a smooth battle area next to it, marked with some lines.
This would likely be the place where the losers would have to challenge each other after the trial.
The terrain was quite simple; they had only pulled out the weeds and leveled the ground.
But for a battle, this was more than enough.
People gradually gathered in the plaza. Now, almost all the participants belonged to a small faction.
Cain positioned himself in the west corner of the plaza. It wasn't long before Skye arrived with his group. Seeing that Cain was already there, they quickly ran over to him.
"Mr. Cain!"
With a series of respectful greetings, they all lined up behind Cain, forming one of the few factions in the plaza.
