Chapter 161 - 161: The Tracking Duo
The Misty Forest is a grove located east of the Lake of Rage, named for the dense mist that enshrouds it all year round. If an ordinary person enters this forest, they could easily get lost, and finding their way out is no simple task.
Some ghost-type Pokémon inhabit the Misty Forest. If a faint-hearted person ventures in, they might get quite a fright. There have been cases where people who entered the forest came out so terrified they were left dazed.
Therefore, the League advises those who lack sufficient strength not to enter the Misty Forest rashly. The same applies to the Misty Mountains, which are connected to this forest.
After getting out of the water, Cain didn't stop for a moment and, along with Slowpoke, headed into the Misty Forest.
Although Slowpoke couldn't use the move Teleport, it could still employ other psychic-type moves, so Cain wasn't worried about the ghost-type Pokémon that might inhabit the forest. However, to be safe, he also summoned Murkrow.
After walking for an hour deep into the forest, Cain finally decided to stop. He gathered some dry branches and lit a campfire to dry his somewhat wet body.
Once he was completely dry, he changed clothes, storing his wet clothes in his ring, as he was on the run and couldn't leave any traces that could be followed.
In the Misty Forest, you can't see the sun, but Cain assumed that, before entering, the sun was already setting. After an hour in the forest, it was surely dark outside by now.
Cain decided to prepare dinner for his Pokémon, but suddenly, two figures emerged from the forest mist. Both were dressed as intermediate-level League trainers and were heading straight toward where Cain was.
