Chapter 536 - 535: The Growth of the Young Ones
Honchkrow managed to advance to the advanced level, taking down a large number of Golbat and Zubat in the sky.
As the Golbat and Zubat began to scatter, realizing something was wrong, Honchkrow, satisfied with its victory, flew back.
Cain smiled as he gently stroked Honchkrow's soft, shiny feathers.
After advancing a bit further, Cain signaled Tropius to descend.
It was better not to push the Pokémon too hard at night, especially when they hadn't eaten yet.
...
Two days later...
Cain and Torchic arrived at the base of Mt. Pyre.
It had taken them two days, but not because Cain was in a hurry. Along the way, he realized that, since Routes 118 and 123 were frequently visited by trainers, the wild Pokémon in the area weren't very high-level.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cain trained Torchic and the other Pokémon in battle.
The weaker wild Pokémon were the perfect targets.
