Chapter 719 - 718: Monument to Xenon
In less than a minute, under Regice’s full-scale attack, Xenon had no chance to resist and was completely eliminated.
After finishing Xenon off, Regice acted as if it had merely swatted a few flies, showing no emotion as it walked toward Cain.
With a slight nod, it ascended back into the sky and returned to its cave, leaving behind a scene of chaos: debris scattered across the ground and multiple bodies, including those of some Pokémon and one human.
Regice had shown no mercy; each of its attacks had been at full power. As a result, both Xenon and his Pokémon had lost their lives entirely.
Xenon and his Pidgeot lay lifeless on the ground, their eyes wide open, frozen in an expression of disbelief. Cain coldly remarked:
"If you had stayed in Team Rocket, you would have been a constant nuisance. There would always be someone trying to stab me in the back. But in the end, your impatience led you to act. Otherwise, maybe you could have lived a little longer."
To Cain, his rival’s death was inevitable—it was only a matter of time.
Cain collected the only storage device Xenon carried, along with several Poké Balls from his belt.
Inside those Poké Balls were some Pokémon, though of lesser strength. Perhaps they were part of Xenon’s secondary team or simply random captures intended for sale to organizations like the Hunter Guild or Pokémon merchants, which could yield good profits.
Like Cain, Xenon had built up his strength through effort, facing danger and adversity.
