Chapter 299 - 299: Escaping with Life
Tropius is a Flying and Grass-type Pokémon. Although the Flying type may be effective against Venomoth, Venomoth's Bug type is also effective against Tropius's Grass type, and Venomoth's Poison type even more so. Thus, Tropius was at a clear disadvantage.
The shadow of death drove it to keep fleeing.
"Just hold on a bit longer. Once we're out of Venomoth's territory, we'll be safe," Cain said, giving Tropius some Pokéblocks to calm its nerves.
In its mind, Tropius reflected on how it used to be the king of a small island—though life was a bit boring, with a small territory and little food...
But when it thought about food, it put aside its regrets. Food is the most important thing, after all!
Chewing on the delicious Pokéblocks, it seemed to be letting off steam.
After finishing, it still wanted more, and every time it opened its mouth, Cain gave it another Pokéblock.
Tired but happy—that's how Tropius felt at that moment.
Gradually, it started to see flashes of light ahead. After flying a bit more, the light grew brighter.
"Tropius, full speed ahead! Just ahead is the edge of the forest. Once we're out, Venomoth should stop chasing us," Cain said, giving Tropius another Pokéblock.
Hearing this, Tropius felt like a ray of hope was approaching.
