Chapter 695 - 694: Rain in the Desert
"Well, those are some Pokémon that really suit me. Cain, you’ve put in the effort," said Steven.
Cain waved his hand dismissively.
It would be great if Steven took his advice, but if he didn’t, it wasn’t Cain’s problem.
At the moment, Cain simply couldn’t afford to raise so many Pokémon at once. Otherwise, some of the Pokémon he’d mentioned would have interested him greatly.
But Cain wasn’t like Steven—he didn’t have the resources of a wealthy family. Even though he now owned a small mine, it was still insignificant compared to the mines owned by Steven’s family.
In the outer areas of the desert, the wild Pokémon were relatively weak. With Steven’s Anorith and Lileep, along with Cain’s Marshtomp and Poliwhirl, they had enough strength to defeat them.
It was unfortunate that Steven’s Anorith had the Battle Armor ability. If it had the hidden ability Swift Swim, its synergy with Cain’s Pokémon would have been even better.
However, using the move Rain Dance in the desert remained a challenge.
Occasionally, one or two Sandshrew appeared in the sand before Cain and Steven, but they didn’t attack.
Sandshrew were relatively docile Pokémon.
But, on the other hand, there were much more aggressive groups of Pokémon.
