Chapter 716 - 715: Are You Ready to Receive a Big Gift?
"Living the way you do... is truly quite pathetic," said Cain.
Upon hearing those words, Xenon was momentarily perplexed.
However, he quickly regained his composure—how was it possible that a mere sixteen-year-old could see through his tricks so easily?
Although he felt a slight discomfort inside, Xenon said nothing more.
"In that case, why don’t you let me test your skills?" Xenon responded.
Then he threw another Luxury Ball. From within, an imposing Arbok emerged, its presence so intimidating that it could not be ignored.
This Arbok was not only Xenon’s trump card but also the reason why he had chosen an Ekans as his starter Pokémon.
Even Gyarados, who had previously displayed an air of superiority, and Exeggutor, who had appeared with its usual mocking smile, shifted slightly to make room for Arbok when it appeared.
Both seemed to avoid standing in its way at all costs, making it clear that its position in Xenon’s team was unrivaled.
Under normal conditions, an Arbok is about 3.5 meters long, but this particular specimen, according to Cain’s calculations, easily exceeded 5 meters. Its imposing size and musculature were incomparable to those of a standard Arbok.
As he observed the Pokémon, Cain recalled the Arbok he had captured on Trial Island. Like this one, it also had an anomalous size and outstanding physical constitution. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was some kind of connection between them.
When Arbok appeared, it began to coil its body into a circle, completely surrounding Xenon. Its massive tongue hung to one side as it flicked it in and out continuously. Its piercing eyes locked onto Cain, like a predator that had already marked its prey and was ready to strike at any moment.
