Chapter 249 - 249: Preparation
Cain sat on the beach after a short break, crossing his legs over the sand. The sun was about to set, and the tide was beginning to recede, leaving the beach dry.
"How can such a small island sustain so many Pokémon? And not only survive, but these Pokémon grow so well and reach such high levels," Cain thought silently.
Unlike Pokémon captured by humans, who gain experience more quickly by battling other Pokémon and thus level up, wild Pokémon usually level up as they age and absorb various types of energy.
If wild Pokémon knew how to train, they might level up a bit faster. However, the Pokémon on this island didn't seem to be in any special situation; it was a completely normal forest, except that the plants were quite ancient.
There was nothing particularly special about this place, but the levels of the Pokémon here didn't seem to match reality.
There was even a level 40 Tropius in the center of the island; though not a true dragon-type Pokémon, it was still a formidable opponent.
In fact, Cain was considering taking complete control of the island. If he managed to defeat all the Pokémon, his own Pokémon's levels could increase significantly.
Even, as unrealistic as it may sound, if he could capture that Tropius, he wouldn't need to keep using Fearow as his airborne transport. Cain had only used Fearow a few times, but to be honest, he found it a bit ugly.
Although Cain isn't a trainer who cares about his Pokémon's appearance—being a practitioner of utilitarianism—the comparison between Tropius and Fearow is obvious. Anyone would know which one to choose.
