Chapter 117 - 117: Skorupi’s Hatching
When Cain reappeared on the streets of Goldenrod City, he was once again wearing his League identity mask.
This method of having multiple identities allowed him to act as he pleased in many situations. As long as he controlled that his identities didn't interfere with each other, he could avoid many problems.
For example, when he had just dealt with those thugs, he wore the mask of a taciturn young man. Even if someone tried to investigate, they wouldn't be able to trace anything back to Cain.
Goldenrod City at night was even more beautiful than during the day, with twinkling lights illuminating the whole city in a multicolored splendor.
Cain was unaffected in the slightest by having just killed someone. Since his previous life, when he had come to fully understand this world, he had grown accustomed to such blood-filled days.
Skillfully, he found Goldenrod City's black market and sold the recently captured Pokémon along with their Poké Balls to a Pokémon merchant there. In total, he made eighty thousand Pokédollars.
It's likely that the Beedrill slain by Murkrow and Gastly was that person's main Pokémon, so the other Pokémon together only sold for eighty thousand.
As for why he didn't exchange the Pokémon at the Hunter's Guild, it was because the guild follows the law of the wild and does not accept domesticated Pokémon.
This time, he didn't stay long in the black market nor caused much commotion. After selling the Pokémon, he used the money to buy a large quantity of supplies, including various antidotes and sufficient healing potions.
When he left the black market, the moon was already high in the sky, and the streets were almost deserted.
Cain found a nearby luxurious-looking hotel and paid three thousand Pokédollars to rent a luxury suite. Anyway, that money had been obtained by force, so he didn't mind spending it.
