Chapter 564 - 563: What They Call Toxin Nutrition
The internal conflict within the Scolipede group presented Cain with a perfect opportunity: the chance to defeat the entire group one by one.
Moreover, with the method Cain reviewed last night for improving Skorupi's quality—and given that Skorupi was on the verge of evolution—Cain thought there was still room for strategic maneuvers.
This time, upon entering Scolipede territory, Cain designated Skorupi as the main attacker, while the other Pokémon assisted in ensuring victory in battles.
