In Cain’s impression, Gengar is also capable of learning both the move Role Play and the move Skill Swap.
If he fails to find a Spoink that can master both moves at the sa ti, Cain can find one that knows Role Play and, when Haunter evolves into Gengar, have Spoink teach it the move.
This way, Gengar could not only act as Cain’s closest bodyguard but also temporarily serve as a skill converter.
Haunter has already learned the move Skill Swap; it only lacks Role Play.
Following the direction indicated by Slowking, Cain advanced with his Pokémon.
In the Grumpig’s territory, it wasn’t only Grumpig that lived there.
As he ventured further, Cain discovered traces of Spoink.
Cain imdiately activated the system to scan the data of these Spoink.
The Spoink were a bit startled to see Cain and his Pokémon enter their den directly.
But since the Grumpig leader and the Spoink capable of communicating were not present, the Spoink didn’t dare act rashly and only watched Cain cautiously.
Moreover, the Pokémon accompanying Cain exuded an air of danger and violence that the weak Spoink clearly couldn’t handle.
Fortunately, Cain seed to be only observing, doing nothing out of place.
When all the Spoink thought Cain had co just to look around, his eyes lit up as he reviewed the data.
Spoink data appeared before him.
Pokémon: Spoink (light green)
Gender: Female
Level: 20
Type: Psychic
Ability: Thick Fat
Held Item: None
Egg Moves: Future Sight, Skill Swap
Basic Moves: Splash, Psywave, Odor Sleuth, Psybeam, Psych Up, Confuse Ray
Learned Move: Role Play
TM Moves: None
In terms of physical developnt, aptitude, and appearance, this was a rather ordinary Pokémon, with no standout traits.
However, it was the only Spoink among many that Cain found to possess both Skill Swap and Role Play.
The other Spoink either had one of the moves or neither.
Although its aptitude was diocre, it was sufficient for a utility Pokémon.
Cain signaled Honchkrow with his eyes.
Honchkrow instantly understood the signal, flapped its wings, and quickly soared, imdiately capturing the chosen Spoink from the group.
The Spoink, who had been watching Cain, had prepared and unleashed a barrage of moves against Honchkrow.
But even the psychic moves of the Grumpig leader had little effect on Honchkrow, let alone these Spoink.
Honchkrow caught the Spoink and brought it to Cain.
Cain glanced around and chuckled softly. These Spoink here were like a valuable treasure. If given the chance, he might relocate them to the rear mountain.
Then, under the protection of Slowking’s psychic barrier, Cain’s Pokémon returned to the site of the previous battle.
This ti, Cain left without looking back, taking his Pokémon with him.
As for the Spoink captured by Honchkrow, it was knocked unconscious and stored in a Pokéball.
Its usefulness wouldn’t be apparent imdiately, but Cain planned to train it slowly once they returned.
Cain continued advancing with his Pokémon for another half hour, fully leaving Grumpig territory before gradually stopping.
He found a relatively safe place and began treating the external and internal injuries of his wounded Pokémon.
This was sothing Cain always did after each battle; otherwise, without a Pokémon Center, accumulated injuries could severely impact his Pokémon in the long term.
Then, using Slowking’s Heal Pulse move, he could also relieve so of his Pokémon’s physical fatigue.
Having learned Heal Pulse, Slowking could temporarily act as the team’s healer.
Combined with the effect of Pokéblocks, Cain’s Pokémon could quickly recover to their optimal state.
This was the main reason Cain could survive in the wild for long periods without worrying about his Pokémon’s condition.
Next, Skorupi dug a cave into a massive tree trunk, large enough for all the Pokémon to enter and rest comfortably.
In these deep mountains, there weren’t many resources, but there were plenty of these gigantic trees that would take many people to encircle.
During this ti, Cain and his Pokémon had been resting in such trees, blocking the cave entrance with tree bark, and under the protection of the psychic barrier created by Slowking, other Pokémon usually couldn’t find them.
Slowking maintained the psychic barrier while the other Pokémon rested.
Although today’s battle was straightforward, the ntal pressure on the Pokémon was still significant.
Cain took out a black Shining Stone from his storage space and scanned it again with the system.
Item Na: Shining Stone (user-defined)
Description: A stone recorded in ancient books, similar to a fragnt of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Function: Can enhance the psychic abilities of a psychic user, with the degree of enhancent depending on the user’s condition.
"Shining Stone, I hope you have so effect," Cain murmured as he extended his psychic energy to levitate the Shining Stone before him.
Cain had no trouble lifting stones of this size with his psychic power.
According to the system’s description, using a Shining Stone required the psychic user to channel energy into the stone, allowing the mysterious energy within it to feed back into the user.
Cain gradually increased the amount of psychic energy.
After days of training, Cain had reached a seventy percent level of control over his psychic power.
As the psychic energy increased, the Shining Stone began to tremble in the air.
Crack!
A clear sound of fracture resonated from the Shining Stone, and the psychic energy Cain had extended was imdiately repelled.
But the Shining Stone didn’t fall; instead, it followed the trajectory of Cain’s psychic energy, launching directly toward his head.
A mysterious energy, different from psychic power but much stronger, seeped into his mind.
Cain couldn’t help but open his eyes.
If anyone were in front of Cain at that mont, they would see his eyes were entirely black, with no distinction between pupils or sclera.
The veins on his forehead suddenly bulged as a storm raged within his mind.
The original psychic energy in his mind began spinning under the influence of this mysterious energy.
Cain could feel that, after so ti in contact, this mysterious energy was beginning to assimilate and convert into similar psychic energy, though of much higher quality.
Moreover, it felt completely compatible with the psychic energy produced by Cain, causing no discomfort.
