Chapter 152 - 152: Skarmory
The young woman coldly watched the Sneasel charging directly at her, realizing that her opponent had lethal intentions. She quickly took a Pokéball from her waist and tossed it into the air.
"Sneel!"
Another Sneasel appeared on the field!
Cain hadn't expected this young woman to have a Sneasel as well. Upon seeing it, Cain's Sneasel paused momentarily, refraining from launching another attack.
It sensed a trace of danger from this new counterpart.
Cain frowned as he observed the newly appeared Sneasel, without blaming his own for stopping. Sneasel was still new to his team, and in situations like this, its own judgment took precedence over Cain's commands. This was a matter of trust that required time to build.
However, the fact that the young woman also had a Sneasel was surprising to Cain. It wasn't a common Pokémon like Beedrill but a relatively rare species. And from the reaction of his own Sneasel, it was evident that hers was not weak, as it felt threatened. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stopped.
"Return, Sneasel!" Cain said with a stern tone.
This young woman was clearly a hunter, and if she had made it this far, her strength could not be underestimated. From the way she had directed her Pokémon in the previous battle, it was evident that she was no novice.
"Hey! Are you also a hunter?" the young woman suddenly asked, still somewhat annoyed, in a voice that sounded like chimes.
Cain hesitated for a moment before nodding. In this situation, there was no need to hide it. Besides, even if he denied it, would she believe him?
