Chapter 303 - 303: Confusion and Treatment
While observing the weakened Arbok, Cain's frown deepened. Although this Arbok was a Poison-type Pokémon, making it vulnerable to Cain's Slowpoke and its psychic moves, and had been aggressively attacked head-on by Sneasel, it shouldn't have been this fragile.
Losing the ability to fight was expected, but this Arbok seemed to be on the verge of death, breathing laboriously.
Given its robust constitution, it shouldn't have fallen so quickly.
After Slowpoke's first psychic attack, Cain had already noticed something strange in Arbok's mental state, and Slowpoke's second psychic attack confirmed his suspicions.
"This Arbok has something unusual about it," Cain murmured to himself.
Cain took a Poké Ball from his pocket and threw it toward Arbok.
Since Arbok was at death's door, the capture process was simple and without incident. The red light on the Poké Ball blinked a few times before going out.
After capturing Arbok, Cain immediately released it. If he didn't act quickly, Arbok would die in less than half an hour, despite its sturdiness.
Cain took out a special pill he had created with the help of the system. This pill was extremely costly; just one of them cost nearly one hundred thousand Pokédollars. Cain had prepared them on the cargo ship before arriving at Judgment Island.
This pill, when ingested by a dying Pokémon, activates various hormones in its body, increasing its vitality. Additionally, it contains a variety of elements that help restore the Pokémon's mental state.
In summary, the pill can save a Pokémon's life when it's on the brink of death.
