Chapter 662 - 661: The Challenge of Elite Four Drake
"Drake...? Are you the Elite Four Drake?!" Cain said, trying hard to show an expression of surprise.
"If there’s no other Elite Four named Drake, then the one you’re talking about must be me, hahaha!" Drake mimicked Cain’s words, laughing with satisfaction.
As one of the senior members of the Elite Four, Drake, like others of his age who care about the League’s development, pays close attention to the talents of the next generation.
For this reason, in the future, when Ash meets Drake and asks for a battle, Drake won’t refuse. Although Ash isn’t very well-known at the top levels of the League, he has the support of Professor Oak, which has given him some notoriety.
Drake, curious to see Ash’s level and skills, won’t hesitate to face him to gauge his potential.
Similarly, Cain is much more famous now than Ash will be at that time. Therefore, it was only natural for Drake to want to do something to acknowledge him.
Moreover, Cain has a significant advantage over Ash: he also owns Dragon-type Pokémon, which means he could gain valuable training advice from Drake.
"Come on! Let’s not talk on the deck; let’s head into the cabin. I want to show you my captain’s quarters," said Drake, with his cigar in hand, clearly pleased, as he led Cain inside.
Although Drake spends much of his time at sea and rarely attends Hoenn League meetings, he is well-informed about their contents.
However, he is not someone with lofty ambitions for power; even after becoming a member of the Elite Four, he dislikes getting involved in managing things.
As a man of the sea, he enjoys the freedom of sailing and rarely returns to the League. So Cain’s visit was something special to him.
