Chapter 184 - 184: Training in Battle
Cain called Skorupi over, as this moment wasn't suitable for him to continue with high-intensity battles. With his body growing, what he needed now was to get familiar with the changes in his physique.
Since Cain hadn't allowed Gastly and Skorupi to use the two newly purchased poison-type items, he also hadn't made them learn the corresponding TM moves.
Sometimes, learning too much can be counterproductive, making it difficult to assimilate everything. Many of Cain's Pokémon still hadn't mastered the moves they already knew well.
For example, Sneasel, who had recently joined the team, still hadn't fully mastered his ice-type moves, even though they were his specialty, which made his title of "Dragon Hunter" seem undeserved.
Miltank had just recovered from the aftermath of her life in the wild and still hadn't had systematic training for her moves.
Skorupi, who had just entered his growth phase, had incredible combat talent, and his battle experience was growing rapidly, but his training time had been very short.
There were still many moves he couldn't master skillfully, such as the Pin Missile move he had recently learned upon reaching level nine.
Murkrow, Slowpoke, and Gastly were the only ones who had completely mastered one or two moves.
For this reason, Cain decided that before reaching Vermilion City, his Pokémon needed to master the moves they had recently learned. Although it might not be possible for all of them to master them completely, they should at least have a solid grasp of their main battle moves.
