Chapter 535 - 534: Advanced-Level Honchkrow
Cain arrived on the outskirts of Mauville City riding his Tropius.
It wasn't his first visit to Mauville City; he had previously rented a house on the city's outskirts for over a month. Additionally, he had used the city's battle arena to train his Pokémon while earning some money.
This time, Cain was just passing through and had no intention of visiting the battle arena.
Although he was only passing by and did not plan to challenge the arena again, Cain decided to stay in the city for a while—not because of the battle arena itself, but because of his interest in one of the organizations managing it: the Void Group.
So far, the Void Group had not initiated an open investigation into the disappearance of the Black Serpent Gang in Leafy Town, but Cain wasn't sure if Kainan, one of the Void Group's high-ranking members, had already taken notice of the incident.
To be honest, given the current state of Leafy Town, Cain wasn't afraid of Kainan in the slightest.
Regardless of whether Kainan was a quasi-elite or even an elite-level trainer, he wouldn't surpass Cain's own master.
Cain had left his master, Matsuda Takashi, in Leafy Town not just to preside over the Breeders' Guild branch but also to act as a deterrent, being a veteran elite-level trainer.
Upon landing on the outskirts of Mauville City, Cain found a discreet spot to change clothes and alter his appearance, completely modifying his attire and disguise.
Once in the city, Cain began investigating the Void Group.
Every underground group struggles to keep all their internal information completely secret.
