Chapter 257 - 257: Underground River
Nameless Island.
Territory of the Dustox colony.
An underground river appeared in Cain's view.
"An underground river?" Cain frowned as he observed it.
This was different from what he had imagined. Initially, he thought he would find an energy crystal mine or some form of dispersed energy, which would explain why Pokémon in this area could absorb energy simply by breathing, allowing them to condense energy crystals in their bodies.
Cain approached the cave entrance and jumped down.
Seeing Cain's action, the Pokémon jumped as well.
Just before touching the ground, Cain remained suspended in the air, then descended slowly.
Slowpoke's psychic ability kicked in, gently lowering Cain and all the Pokémon to the ground.
"The soil here is very soft. It seems to be due to this underground river." Cain crouched down, took some soil, and examined it in his hand.
After letting the soil fall, Cain approached the underground river, scooped some water with his hand, and brought it to his nose to smell.
