Chapter 357 - 357: The Evolution of Murkrow’s Aptitude
At night, Cain and Alec set up camp in a corner of the forest.
Due to Alec's presence, Cain refrained from letting Mismagius appear. At this time, Mismagius should not be seen by anyone, not even by someone who had already been brought under his control.
Even the slightest chance of someone discovering that he had an Elite-level Pokémon with an innocent mind would tempt even Umbra to try and take it from him.
No matter how valuable Cain's abilities were, to an Elite-level trainer, having such a Pokémon under their control was priceless.
If anyone discovered Mismagius's existence, Cain would have to eliminate them—or be eliminated himself. There was no other option.
After dinner, Alec took Mightyena, which had recovered some of its strength, into the forest. He now needed to fully tame the three Pokémon he had obtained that day and analyze their battle styles as much as possible.
Fortunately, Shuckle, due to its nature, was nearly fully tamed, and Golbat wouldn't pose much trouble. Only Ponyta, with its proud personality, would be difficult to handle.
Cain had no intention of helping further. Capturing and taming Pokémon is something a trainer must do on their own.
In the darkness, Cain called Murkrow and Arbok to his side and brought out two specially prepared Pokéblocks.
"These are your special Pokéblocks for tonight. Since you've chosen this path, there's no room for regret. Eat as quickly as you can," Cain said indifferently.
However, before Murkrow and Arbok began eating, Cain added, "Arbok, eat first and then go rest. After enduring the first torture, the second shouldn't be as dangerous for you."
