Chapter 244 - 244: A Look of Adoration
When Cain appeared in the stands, the sailors were already battling Team Aqua members.
Kingler, Machop, Machoke, Golbat, Psyduck, Primeape, and other Pokémon were all in the plaza, and the battle had turned into complete chaos.
In addition to the first mate fighting directly against Team Aqua's temporary captain, the other sailors did not split up into different fronts but instead faced Team Aqua's combatants together.
Because the sailors were accustomed to fighting in chaotic battles against pirates, and after so much time together, their teamwork was far better than that of the Team Aqua members.
Although Team Aqua had a numerical advantage, the sailors managed to stand their ground.
However, the longer the battle lasted, the more Team Aqua's advantage grew, as their numbers meant they had more Pokémon and could endure longer.
Cain watched silently from the stands for a moment, and once most of the Team Aqua members were engrossed in the battle, he slipped down with his Haunter and Slowpoke.
"Haunter, use Hypnosis with all your strength and put as many Team Aqua members to sleep as possible. Slowpoke, use Confusion to control those who remain standing. As for their Pokémon, if all goes well, we shouldn't have any issues." Cain instructed Slowpoke and Haunter.
Both nodded, showing they understood the task.
Haunter slipped into the shadows, and as soon as Cain gave the signal, both Pokémon began working together to neutralize the Team Aqua members.
As one by one fell under Haunter's move, others noticed what was happening. However, before they could act, Slowpoke used Confusion to immobilize them.
