Chapter 189 - 189: Post-Battle Practice
An hour later, Cain and his companions moved forward through the tunnel for another hour, finally reaching its end.
This tunnel was clearly one of the deepest among the various branches of Diglett Cave.
He gathered his other Pokémon, leaving only Slowpoke.
He instructed Slowpoke to use Teleport to return to the previous entry point.
As they exited, they didn't draw anyone's attention. Cain dusted off his clothes and continued deeper into Diglett Cave's tunnel.
Today's exploration of Diglett Cave's branches had been sufficient, and the number of battles for the Pokémon was also considerable. What they needed next was to assimilate what they had learned and experienced in today's battles.
By doing this, they wouldn't forget the lessons they had gained in the next battle.
They continued a bit further into Diglett Cave until Cain began to feel hungry.
Cain chose a small, already explored tunnel and placed a sign at the entrance, indicating that this tunnel was temporarily occupied as a camp, warning that entering without permission could result in an attack, and that the consequences would be on whoever attempted it.
These small explored tunnels were commonly used by passing trainers as temporary camps. Many tunnel entrances had signs like these.
So, very few trainers dared to enter. After all, no one knew how strong the trainer inside might be; if they could win, all good, but if not, the trouble would be on them.
