Chapter 221 - 221: The Terrifying Elder
What did Cain see through the system a moment ago?
An Aerodactyl at level seventy-eight, along with other Pokémon with levels between sixty and seventy. What does this mean?
It means that the elder who had just spoken is at least an Elite Four-level trainer, and not a newcomer, but an experienced veteran.
However, by his attire, he looked like a typical village grandfather.
He probably didn't want to attract attention, so Cain decided to act as if he knew nothing.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it for now. Regardless, this elder was someone not to be provoked. If an opportunity presented itself, Cain could try to build a good relationship with him.
Shortly after, Takuya Imamura, who had left dragging his two friends, returned to the group. He looked quite pained as he pulled out three bank cards and placed them in front of Cain.
"Here's one million Pokédollars. It's more than enough to buy the Flamethrower TM. I won't argue about the difference. It's a matter of pride," Takuya said with a grand air, though he couldn't hide the pained expression on his face.
To borrow that much money from his two friends, he had to promise them plenty of benefits. In total, the value of those benefits was much higher than the amount he had borrowed.
Cain looked at him with a sarcastic smile and said, "My Slowpoke is worth much more than that money. Don't try to act magnanimous; who are you trying to impress?"
Takuya, overwhelmed by Cain's response, was left speechless, his face reddening, unsure of how to reply. Finally, he exclaimed, "Let's go to the battlefield!"
