Chapter 285 - 285: Warning
After returning to the ship's cabin, Umbra sat in front of a table with tea, incense, and various tea-making utensils.
"Does the Pokémon world also have a tea tradition?" Cain thought.
Umbra gestured for Cain to sit across from him.
Cain obediently sat cross-legged. Although he hadn't shown the slightest fear when speaking to Umbra earlier, that was because he had understood Umbra's intentions.
But now, the situation was different, so Cain set aside all thoughts and emotions.
When facing an Elite-level Trainer, one must be respectful when needed.
Umbra remained silent for a long time, only handling the various tea utensils in front of him. The hand with only two fingers was covered by a leather glove, but Cain noticed that all the fingers could move.
Most likely, Team Rocket scientists had implanted mechanical prosthetics.
"I heard you went to the Hoenn region," Umbra said, breaking the silence, though he didn't look at Cain, focusing instead on the tea utensils.
"Yes," Cain replied, nodding.
Finally, Umbra finished preparing the tea, brought it to his nose to smell, and then took a sip.
