Chapter 572 - 571: I Did a Good Deed, Will They Thank Me?
Drapion had become a full-fledged miner, while Slowking acted as a transport truck.
With the perfect collaboration between the trainer and his two Pokémon, the gemstones in the area were dwindling at an alarming rate.
Although they still didn't know the exact quality of the minerals, the fact that a fist-sized piece weighed dozens of kilograms suggested they were likely of high quality.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have caused a dispute between the Krookodile and the Bastiodon.
However, the more Cain dug, the more surprised he became. These stones seemed inexhaustible. Drapion was practically submerged in the sand, yet there were no signs of the mine running out.
"Could it be that this isn't a small deposit of stones, but rather a large mine?" Cain thought, alarmed.
But Cain didn't have much time to ponder, as even with Honchkrow's help, the Krookodile and Bastiodon had finally lost the trail of the Team Rocket member and were returning.
Honchkrow was the first to bring back that information.
Despite efforts to keep the Krookodile tracking the Team Rocket member, the opponent was very cunning. After realizing someone was trying to hinder their escape, they finally managed to lose Honchkrow while traversing a rocky area.
The Krookodile, whose speed was lower in that area, decided to abandon the chase.
Seeing Drapion still digging frantically, Cain said, "That's enough, Drapion. Let's leave before the Krookodile notice us. Maybe we'll have another chance to return here later."
