Chapter 571 - 570: Turning the Mantis into Bait
With this, Cain, who was about to act, slowly lowered the Poké Ball in his hand.
If someone else wanted to play the "mantis," he had no problem being the "sparrow" to catch the prey. So, he decided to exercise patience and wait.
Cain still had a list of Team Rocket members' information that he had obtained from Regi. Although he wasn't sure if the other person also had something similar, Cain estimated they probably didn't. Even if they did, it wouldn't be as detailed as what Regi had compiled.
He decided to wait for the other person to make the first move. Once he confirmed their identity and skills, Cain would have an even greater advantage.
He waited in silence for another half hour. During that time, the Krookodile had already been pushed to the edge of the sunken zone by the Bastiodon. However, that was as far as the Bastiodon could manage.
After all, their advantage lay in their incredible defense, but they lacked offensive power.
The reason the Krookodile had been pushed back was simply a strategic retreat, not fear.
Now that they were at the edge, retreating further would mean leaving the sunken zone, and clearly, that wasn't what the Krookodile wanted. So, they launched a fierce counterattack, and the two sides became deadlocked once again.
It was at that moment that Cain, who had been watching the Team Rocket member on the other side, noticed them start to move.
Amidst the vast yellow desert, a cloth appeared, and from beneath it emerged a Team Rocket member dressed in a form-fitting black suit.
The disguise they had used earlier was that yellow cloth that had covered their body. In the desert, the black suit was quite visible, but once inside the sunken zone, it became harder to detect due to the shadows created by the sunlight.
