Chapter 141 - 141: Sneasel
Just as Cain had predicted, during their afternoon rest, that sensation of being watched reappeared.
This time, Cain was prepared and had Slowpoke mark the Miltank milk bottle with a psychic signal. As long as it wasn't more than ten kilometers away, with Slowpoke's current teleportation ability and spatial awareness, he could detect the location of that mark.
Although he couldn't teleport directly, he would at least know the location and be able to find it.
Cain left the milk on the ground and moved away with Slowpoke and the others to observe from a distance.
This time, Cain didn't have to wait long. After having tasted the reward once, that Pokémon appeared almost immediately after Cain and his group had left.
Cain freed Murkrow of the extra weight he was carrying, and though the terrain made tracking difficult, at least they'd have a general idea of the location. Once Cain and Slowpoke arrived, they'd surely find it.
Forty minutes later, Murkrow returned to Cain, who had stayed behind.
This time, Murkrow didn't completely lose the trail. After being relieved of the weight, his speed increased again, and with the help of the Tailwind move, he could closely follow that Pokémon.
However, to avoid alerting it, Murkrow returned immediately to inform Cain when the Pokémon stopped.
Guided by Murkrow, Cain and the others slowly approached the spot where that Pokémon had stopped.
They were already very close to the icy mountain. Cain felt his body shiver unconsciously, and the air he exhaled left a trace of white.
