Chapter 761 - 760: Growth
Three days later, by Lake Verity, a spatial crack opened in the air, as if someone were pulling an invisible zipper.
A man, wearing somewhat torn clothes, stepped out of it with a firm stride. His feet didn’t touch the ground; a thin layer of psychic energy allowed him to walk through the air.
Slowly, he moved from the surface of the lake to the shore. Though his clothes were worn, he wore a confident expression on his face, and his eyes shone with determination and energy.
By his side was an imposing Pokémon, two meters tall with a body of pinkish hues, accompanying him without straying.
This man was none other than Cain, who had spent three days on the mysterious island. By his side was his inseparable Slowking, who had been with him throughout the dangerous journey.
During those three days, Cain had survived on the island without access to his storage team, forced to live primitively. His clothes had been worn down after facing numerous challenges and wild Pokémon of exceptional strength.
Many times he had to defend himself and flee, leaving marks of his experience on his attire. Despite the difficulties, the benefits he gained from this trial were invaluable.
One of the most important aspects was that, upon stepping out of the crack, the Unown on his wrist communicated to him that next time, he would also be able to open access to the island, as long as he did so from Lake Verity.
This news meant that the mysterious island, unexplored and full of high-level Pokémon, had essentially become Cain and his team’s exclusive training ground.
Though the limitations were considerable, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks.
