Chapter 451 - 450: Vileplume
The next day.
Cain, dressed in his League trainer uniform, ventured into the mountains without notifying anyone.
He didn't take the same path as before. This time, Cain decided to head in a different direction, southward, toward Littleroot Town. Traveling on foot would take him several days, provided no unexpected complications arose.
Skorupi and Sneasel accompanied him.
They were still at the outskirts of the forest, where the wild Pokémon weren't very high level, making it an ideal training ground for Skorupi.
The main goal of this journey was to train Skorupi, as prolonged exercise would help it absorb the toxic energy accumulating in its body more quickly.
Wandering aimlessly through the forest could lead to accidentally invading the territory of wild Pokémon.
If the territory belonged to a small group of Pokémon, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if there were a large number of Pokémon, hostility was almost guaranteed.
In the forest's depths, Pokémon fiercely defended their territories.
These were basic survival rules in the forest, but for Cain and his team, such rules didn't apply.
Skorupi, standing at 1.2 meters tall, took the lead. Its sharp pincers moved non-stop, as if practicing boxing, while its long tail hovered above its head, motionless and easy to overlook.
