Chapter 425 - 424: Preparations for the Breeder Examination
"A new evolution method for Pokémon?" Old Matsuda's expression was one of astonishment.
"Yes."
Cain nodded and continued, "I've discovered a new way for a Pokémon to evolve. This Pokémon has been known for a long time, but the method of its evolution remains unknown."
"Which Pokémon?"
"Slowking," Cain replied.
"Slowking? You know how Slowpoke evolves into Slowking?" Old Matsuda's expression grew serious.
Discovering a new evolution method for a Pokémon was no simple feat. Many renowned Pokémon researchers spend their entire lives without uncovering such a breakthrough.
Only a few researchers who specialize in Pokémon studies can access or discover this kind of information.
"I discovered it by chance. Although the circumstances were somewhat special, I believe Slowking can only evolve under specific conditions. My Slowpoke evolved into Slowking right in front of us," Cain explained.
He then pulled out a Poké Ball and called out Slowking.
There was no other choice. Using the information on how Slowking evolves as leverage to secure the opportunity to open a gym seemed like a fair trade to Cain.
