Chapter 351 - 351: Murder and Departure
Seeing that Aurelia had truly disappeared completely, Cain finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
Luckily, Tropius' presence had intimidated her; otherwise, he would have truly been forced into a battle.
However, his current strength might not be enough to take on opponents like her. Against ordinary Pokémon, he had no issues, but he feared they might have hidden trump cards like Xander did, complicating things further.
Murkrow had yet to evolve; Cain still needed a Pokémon capable of deciding a battle with a single decisive strike.
Fortunately, despite Aurelia's bold demeanor, she probably had little desire for an actual fight.
After all, she was one of Ariana's subordinates.
Cain vividly remembered Ariana's battle with Pryce at the Lake of Rage—a clash between two elite-level trainers where Ariana was pressured from start to finish.
It was likely Ariana's current strength hadn't fully recovered.
So, could it be possible she had joined this territorial expansion mission in her current state?
It didn't seem likely.
Thus, Aurelia was perhaps the least ambitious of the four monsters vying for dominance.
