Chapter 84 - 84: The Black Market of Saffron City
When Cain got off the bus, it was exactly 12 noon. After three hours of travel, his body was a bit stiff.
He wore a typical trainer's outfit, and as soon as he stepped off the bus, he blended seamlessly into the city.
He immediately released Slowpoke from its Poké Ball. Although being a shiny Pokémon drew some attention, Saffron City, as the most prosperous city, was not overly affected.
The presence of Slowpoke only slightly increased curious glances, without causing major issues or unnecessary commotion.
Saffron City was just a stop on Cain's journey, but since he was in the largest and most prosperous city in Kanto, he decided to take the opportunity to buy some necessary supplies and tools.
What he needed was a specialized tool set for making Pokéblocks. So far, he had been using rudimentary tools he made himself, which allowed him to create mid-level Pokéblocks at best.
However, with a high-quality tool set, he could make advanced Pokéblocks with much better effects for his Pokémon.
Although the difference between mid-level and advanced Pokéblocks is only one level, the effects are vastly different.
Mid-level Pokéblocks can only improve the growth and recovery rate of Pokémon, but advanced Pokéblocks not only double that speed but can also slightly enhance the quality of Pokémon with regular use.
