Chapter 374 - 373: Seeing Beyond Without Saying It
"Mr. Cain, congratulations on achieving first place in this final trial. According to the trial rules, you may choose one of three starter Pokémon as your reward," the employee said with a smile.
Cain didn't pay much attention to how they determined points or rankings; he was simply informed directly. However, as a psychic power user, he noticed a very fine psychic energy line connecting to the employee's head before they spoke.
Telepathy!
It seemed that a psychic or a Pokémon with psychic abilities was communicating with them. No wonder they didn't need computers or scanners to determine points and rankings.
After saying this, Cain noticed the psychic line behind the employee's head vibrate again, and their expression suddenly changed.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Mr. Cain, please wait a moment. I have something urgent to attend to. I ask for your patience," they said, quickly opening the back door and rushing out.
After they left, a shadow began to slowly materialize where they had been.
Umbra!
Cain saw the approaching figure and tried to speak, but Umbra stopped him with a gesture. Then, a Gengar emerged from the shadow, suddenly releasing ghost-type energy that enveloped both Cain and Umbra.
"Well, those psychics and their Pokémon are convenient, but when they're watching you all the time, there's no privacy," Umbra said, letting out a relieved sigh.
No surprise, being a friend of Sabrina, the most powerful psychic.
