Chapter 300 - 300: Rhyhorn
However, as a support Pokémon, Venomoth requires some very specific abilities and egg moves.
Additionally, Cain won't be able to enter Venomoth's territory for a while; if he tries, he'll likely be attacked by a swarm. Maybe another opportunity will arise in the future.
Now that his Pokémon are exhausted, Cain decided not to continue on his path and opted to rest first.
Judging by the situation in Venomoth's territory, it's likely that the Pokémon they encounter ahead will be even stronger, posing a greater danger.
It's better to wait until all his Pokémon have recovered before moving forward, to ensure safety.
Cain sat in the meadow for half an hour, allowing his Pokémon to have a simple lunch, before continuing to walk in the direction Slowpoke had previously indicated.
Before entering the final trial, Cain had considered marking his three subordinates with a psychic mark, which would allow him to find them quickly.
But in the end, he decided not to do it.
First, even if he gathered those three people, they wouldn't be much help. He'd have to put effort into protecting them, which wouldn't be worth it.
Additionally, while the final trial is filled with dangers, it's also an opportunity.
Exploring uncharted areas of the Trial Island and encountering high-potential Pokémon could result in capturing one or two, significantly boosting his strength.
