Chapter 146 - 146: Miltank’s Persuasion
Sneasel felt quite comfortable having someone treat its wounds and give it milk to drink. But Cain was exhausted.
Don't underestimate the methods of breeders. While they use medicine to treat Pokémon, they also apply special techniques that not only speed up wound recovery but also reduce pain and accelerate tissue healing.
A Pokémon's body is much more resilient than a human's, so despite having suffered severe injuries, the combination of Cain's massage and medication made some of Sneasel's wounds heal instantly, while smaller ones disappeared completely.
After gulping down a bottle of Miltank's milk, Sneasel was able to stand and make small movements once the treatment was done.
It was then that Sneasel truly started to pay attention to the human in front of it, who seemed not very strong but acted with calm determination.
Sneasel recalled what had happened during the battle; it had seen how Murkrow and Slowpoke managed to defeat it, largely due to this human's orders.
It looked at him with a complex expression in its eyes.
Without hesitation, Cain returned its gaze and said, "Sneasel, you're already my Pokémon. Whether you admit it or not, you only have two options in front of you."
"First: become my Pokémon. I will help you grow, fight, and you can enjoy anything you want—like milk, Pokémon tools, and food!"
Sneasel listened to Cain's words without showing any emotion until he mentioned milk. At that moment, it showed a slight change, though it tried to suppress it.
Although Sneasel had strong self-control, Cain could still see it was tempted.
