Chapter 609 - 608: I Hope You Don’t Get Scared of Regirock
Seeing how long it took Gengar to return, Cain could already guess the outcome.
After hearing Gengar's explanation, Cain confirmed that Regi and Glacius had indeed escaped his pursuit.
They had summoned two gravely injured Pokémon to distract Gengar.
In truth, Cain didn't have high expectations that Gengar could take down Regi and Glacius. The objective was more about wearing down the opponent as much as possible.
From the moment Regi tried to ambush Cain, there was no chance of reconciliation between the two.
Although Cain wasn't the type to seek revenge over minor offenses, it was clear that Regi had attacked him for a serious reason. When personal safety was at stake, there was no turning back.
Still, Cain felt relieved that Regi had managed to escape.
Regi's true identity remained uncertain. If he turned out to be the child of a major figure, Cain could face a complicated situation since such people wouldn't hesitate to use all their power to eliminate Cain without consequences.
But since Regi hadn't died, it was still just a fight between youths.
Moreover, Cain was confident that, with Regi's prideful nature, he wouldn't tell anyone how Cain had managed to ambush him. After all, he needed to continue receiving resources from the elders supporting him, and he couldn't afford to let them see he wasn't up to the task.
Regi and Glacius had emerged weakened from this fight and would need time to recover.
