Cain took out his communication system and dialed Karen’s number.
He inford her that he had already completed the task of capturing Scolipede and that they no longer needed to waste ti on that mission.
Karen was very happy with the result.
Before Cain hung up, Karen told him he could send the Poké Ball back.
After forming the hunting team, Karen bought so basic equipnt, the most important being the portable Poké Ball transmitter.
This device is quite common in the Pokémon world.
After all, most League trainers are only allowed to carry six Pokémon, so nearly everyone carries a device to transmit Poké Balls.
Since the hunting team had been ford, this equipnt was indispensable.
Otherwise, what would they do during a hunt? Send soone with a huge bag to carry all the Poké Balls?
That wouldn’t be impossible, but if they encountered the League police or Pokémon world rangers, it would be a problem.
In any case, there was specialized staff to manage the Poké Balls sent back.
Cain used his Poké Ball transmitter, which he had never used before, to send the Scolipede’s Poké Ball to Karen.
The sooner the task is completed, the higher the compliance rating in the mission assessnt.
When Karen received Scolipede’s Poké Ball, she hung up the call with Cain, satisfied.
As for who would receive the final credit for capturing Scolipede, it wasn’t important to Cain. After all, the hunting team had already been ford, and Karen worked for him now. If they wanted it, he would give it to them.
Just as Cain was putting away his portable Poké Ball transmitter, a secret communicator on his body began to vibrate.
Cain frowned.
It was Umbra’s communicator; the last ti it vibrated was when he had to et Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket.
He didn’t know what matter Umbra had this ti.
He took out the communicator and pressed the button to answer.
"Mr. Umbra," Cain said respectfully.
From the other side of the communicator, Umbra responded in his usual cold tone, "Cain, where are you? Still training in the forest?"
Cain looked around and replied, "I’m training in a forest, but I’m not sure of my exact location. I think I’m sowhere between Littleroot Town and Verdanturf Town."
"..."
Umbra fell silent for a mont. The forest between Verdanturf Town and Littleroot Town was quite large.
"And where are you headed? Don’t tell you plan to stay in the forest for a week or more."
"Uh, in a few days, I should arrive in Littleroot Town. I’m going there to pick up so things," Cain replied honestly.
"Alright. I’ll send you the supplies you earned in the last trial, along with the three Evolution Elixirs you exchanged with . We’ll et in the forest outside Littleroot Town," Umbra said.
Evolution Elixirs couldn’t be transmitted through a transmitter. Last ti, Cain had gone personally to the Team Rocket research base at the Lake of Rage to retrieve them.
Cain was slightly pleased to hear Umbra’s words. Was he finally going to receive the supplies he had been waiting for?
Most importantly: the Evolution Elixirs!
Was Larvitar about to hatch?
"I need so things now; can I still exchange these supplies?" Cain asked.
Umbra fell silent again for a mont before responding with two words: "You can."
Although he was aware that exchanging resources at this mont might be tricky, even Giovanni had told Umbra to fulfill Cain’s requests as long as they weren’t excessive.
He wanted to see how far Cain could go in the Hoenn region. If he managed to beco as strong a trainer as Sabrina or Koga, investing in him would be a good decision.
"I’d like to exchange for a Razor Claw, so Black Sludge, and convert the rest into Pokédollars," Cain said after so thought.
These were the items he considered most useful at the mont. With Pokédollars, he could buy whatever he needed later. If he couldn’t find what he needed, surely his friends could.
Hearing Cain’s request, Umbra narrowed his eyes.
Although these two items weren’t of extraordinary value, they were quite rare. Even within Team Rocket, there weren’t many in stock, and many wanted to exchange for them but didn’t have the ans.
Cain had already asked Steven to look for the King’s Rock and Razor Claw.
The King’s Rock had already been delivered to him, but there was no news about the Razor Claw, which showed how rare it was.
Not that its effect was incredible, but as they say, scarcity makes it valuable.
In comparison, the Black Sludge was more useful and also more expensive.
"Alright, but that will leave few resources remaining," Umbra said in a cold tone.
Cain had offered half of his supplies in exchange for the three Evolution Elixirs. Now, he would use the rest to obtain the Razor Claw and Black Sludge, which would consu almost everything.
"It doesn’t matter; obtaining those two items is enough," Cain said decisively. He was more than willing to spend all his resources on them.
The Razor Claw, though useful for other Pokémon, held special value for Sneasel.
With this item, Sneasel could evolve into Weavile during the night, marking a great leap in power and potential.
Sneasel had always had a sowhat intermittent presence on his team, probably due to its sowhat solitary personality.
Recently, after several training sessions, the relationships among his Pokémon had beco more harmonious.
That’s why Cain thought he should organize more team training sessions, which would not only increase strength but also build trust and cooperation among his Pokémon.
