Chapter 121 - 121: Capturing Arbok
Even if it fought with all its strength, it might not even be able to get close to the two Pokémon, rendering half of its moves ineffective.
Moreover, both Pokémon's attacks were extremely powerful, and it realized that its body could no longer withstand them.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, it immediately decided to flee.
Having grown to this point from its weaker days, escaping had become an instinct for it, so running away this time also seemed completely natural.
Keep fighting? Await death?
Seeing that Arbok was clearly attempting to flee, Cain maintained an expressionless face and said coldly, "Slowpoke, full power, use Confusion."
After a successful Calm Mind, Slowpoke's special attack was boosted, and a bright blue glow appeared in its eyes. An invisible psychic wave surged toward the fleeing Arbok.
Having already taken two rounds of attacks, enduring the double damage from Confusion and being occasionally struck by Gastly's Night Shade, Arbok was now exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Under the full-powered Confusion from Slowpoke, the swiftly moving Arbok suddenly halted, its eyes rolled back, and it fell to the ground, drained.
Cain pulled out a simple red and white Pokéball from his ring and threw it toward Arbok.
The Pokéball opened upon contact, and after a flash of red light, Arbok was captured within.
