Chapter 326 - 326: Slowpoke’s Evolution Path
However, the Challenge Island is vast, so the people you encounter are actually few.
Most of the time, it's about fighting wild Pokémon while searching for point cards.
Before nightfall, Cain had found five point cards, totaling twenty points. Cain earned sixteen points, and Miyamoto received four.
But for Cain, these points aren't the most important thing; what really matters is that his Pokémon's strength has improved again.
After learning Vexor's strength, Cain knew there was still a slight gap between them, so he spent the remaining time deliberately training his Pokémon.
Of course, he also helped Miyamoto capture two pretty good Pokémon. One was a level 27 Mankey with green aptitude, which they encountered while searching for the second point card.
Miyamoto requested a battle, letting Primeape defeat this Mankey, then capturing it.
In terms of this type of Pokémon, Miyamoto is likely the one who knows it best. It only needs to level up once more to complete its evolution; when that happens, Miyamoto's strength will increase again.
Additionally, having a green aptitude is quite acceptable and even considered relatively rare on Challenge Island.
Then there was a level 30 Graveler with a light green aptitude, which they also found while searching for the point card. Miyamoto was impressed by its defensive capability and current combat power.
He believes that in the next phase, collaborating with Cain, his Pokémon can serve as the frontline defense to absorb damage, since he noticed that Cain didn't have a "tank" Pokémon up front. So he voluntarily chose to take that role.
