Chapter 208 - 208: Complete Accumulation
The battle on the beach began to clear up. Officer Jenny's two Pokémon could now subdue Gyarados, but because Gyarados was in a frenzy, its attack power had increased considerably.
Additionally, Jenny didn't want the shockwaves from the battle to affect others, which made her fight cautiously.
However, after some time, the Gyarados she was facing started coming out of its frenzy, covered in wounds, and could no longer withstand the increasingly powerful attacks from Jenny's Pokémon. If it didn't flee soon, it might not survive.
Cain was also paying attention to Jenny's battle. If the Gyarados she was fighting attempted to escape, the other Gyarados would surely follow. Then, Cain's plan to evolve Gastly by defeating Gyarados might fail.
Cain sped up his attacks alongside Slowpoke and Gastly.
When Gastly defeated another Gyarados, other teams also started seeing cases of Gyarados being defeated.
After all, Cain had freed many people, and with so much help joining other teams, the pressure lessened. With a group of trainers attacking a single Gyarados, it was not surprising that they eventually defeated it.
However, as they were League trainers and held an overwhelming advantage, they didn't kill Gyarados. Also, because there were so many people, no one had the right to capture it. After defeating it, they simply left it lying in the water.
Cain couldn't help but scoff at this. A bunch of fools, wasting a golden opportunity to make money. They should have captured it, hidden it, and then sold it to make a good sum, or simply kept it. Whether to sell it or use it, it was an excellent choice.
That's why people say League trainers are quite naive in the early or intermediate stages. If they were from Team Rocket, they would have already started fighting over that Gyarados. Such a powerful Pokémon would significantly boost the strength of anyone who captured it.
Shaking his head, no longer paying attention to the others, Cain ordered Slowpoke and Gastly to unleash their full power to defeat more Gyarados.
