Chapter 395 - 394: Uprooting the Problem
After returning to his room, Cain took out a special Poké Ball.
It was a customized Poké Ball he had purchased specifically from the black market in Saffron City. Designed primarily to enhance comfort inside the Poké Ball, it also increased the bond between the Pokémon and its trainer.
It was similar to a Friend Ball, but not quite on the same level.
This Poké Ball had cost a fortune and was hastily made to Cain's specifications.
"Come out, Mismagius," Cain said as he threw the Poké Ball.
"Misss!" Mismagius floated out, letting out a soft cry. Upon seeing Cain, her eyes lit up, and she quickly drifted toward him.
After spending time together, and influenced by Cain's other Pokémon encouraging her to trust him, the innocent Mismagius already saw Cain as her best friend and partner.
Although Cain couldn't yet fully direct Mismagius in complex battles, he could give her basic instructions to use certain moves.
Cain was confident that with more time together and as his strength grew to a near-Elite level, he would be able to command Mismagius in more intricate fights.
By then, with Mismagius as his trump card, Cain would have the confidence to face Elite-level opponents.
Although Mismagius already possessed the strength of an Elite-level Pokémon, her lack of combat experience made her akin to a newborn Pokémon. She lacked a defined battle rhythm, giving Cain the opportunity to shape her as he wished without having to train her from scratch but still with immense power.
