Chapter 354: Fighting for the territory
Terrance and Altaria remained vigilant, but the moment they arrived, countless Ice Shards came flying toward them, a chill sweeping through the air.
“Ascend.”
Terrance reacted immediately. Still on Altaria’s back, he knew that attacking wasn’t the best choice. In the next instant, Altaria swiftly rose upward, dodging the barrage of Ice Shards. Meanwhile, a dozen Sneasel emerged slowly from the cave below, their fierce eyes glaring at the pair in the sky.
“The cave entrance is about two meters high. Perfect.” During the brief descent, Terrance caught a clear glimpse of the Sneasel’s habitat, and his eyes lit up.
Finding a suitable resting spot on this deserted island was no easy feat. Aside from forcefully taking over a site from the local inhabitants, locating a new shelter seemed nearly impossible.
As for forcefully taking it over, the type of Pokémon involved mattered. Habitats belonging to Spearow or Rattata, even if found, likely wouldn’t be ideal for resting. This Sneasel-inhabited cave, however, seemed just right—though it might be a bit cold inside, lighting a fire would solve that problem.
Looking at the ferociously approaching Sneasels, Terrance’s expression did not change as he spoke, “We’ll leave for now.”
Riding on Altaria, Terrance didn’t dare to risk a battle against a dozen Sneasel simultaneously. As they retreated, two Sneasel gave chase, monitoring the enemy’s situation. However, when Altaria abruptly descended, Terrance leapt off its back and tossed out two Poké Balls, releasing Arcanine and Beautifly. Startled, the two Sneasel immediately retreated.
Terrance launched the attack.
