Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 481 - 480: Bringing Out the Larvitar Incubator

At night, in the middle of the forest, Cain chose a relatively quiet spot to rest.

Since a single day wasn't enough to fly from Littleroot Town to Leafy Town, it was necessary to stop and rest along the way.

Fortunately, during his journey from Leafy Town through the forest to Littleroot Town, Cain had taken note of specific spots he passed.

This time, Cain decided to stay in a tree hollow where he had spent the night a few days earlier. The hollow was already excavated, so there was no need for Skorupi to do the work again.

After carefully sealing the entrance of the tree hollow, Cain was able to rest peacefully inside.

The forest trees were large enough that even summoning some of his Pokémon wasn't a problem.

However, he could only release those that were smaller in size. Larger Pokémon like Tropius, Honchkrow, or Skorupi had to remain in their Pokéballs for the night.

Slowking, however, stayed outside to act as a surveillance radar.

Cain released his smaller Pokémon.

The capture of Mudkip had made it part of his second team. Since these Pokémon would work together in the future, Cain decided it was important for them to meet and familiarize themselves with each other.

Cain's second team consisted of Torchic, Aron, Poliwag, and Mudkip. These four would be his main focus for training moving forward.

Larvitar would soon join, making a total of five Pokémon. Cain wasn't certain if he would add more in the future, but if he found suitable candidates, he wouldn't pass up the opportunity.

Even training these five Pokémon required significantly more resources than his first team had needed.

Aron and Larvitar alone, with their high training demands, required considerable investment.

Although both would become incredibly powerful Pokémon, their evolution would take time and resources that were hard to quantify.

Nonetheless, Cain was much stronger now, and his influence was growing. As his network of contacts and resources expanded, he hoped to meet the costs of raising these Pokémon.

Most importantly, even though the Pokémon in his first team had started with less potential, they were now far more capable.

If his new Pokémon followed the same trajectory, Cain could hardly imagine how far they might go.

However, the greater the potential, the harder it was to improve.

One thing that pleased Cain was Torchic.

Torchic's potential had fluctuated between blue and dark blue, and Cain's system couldn't predict where it would ultimately stabilize.

But since Cain released it in Pallet Town, its potential seemed to be increasing.

The likelihood of it stabilizing at the dark blue level had now surpassed 60%.

If confirmed, Cain would have a team comprising a dark blue-quality Torchic, a dark blue-quality Aron, a light blue-quality Poliwag, a light blue-quality Mudkip, and a blue-quality Larvitar.

This combination was something Cain had never achieved in his previous life.

Reflecting on his Pokémon from his past life, Cain realized he might now have the strength to capture a Pokémon that had once helped him reach the quasi-Elite level.

Since returning to the past, Cain's tight schedule had allowed him to reach his current level.

But with his current strength, he might now have the chance to capture that Pokémon again.

Cain began formulating a plan.

After spending some time playing with his small Pokémon, he noticed that Mudkip was integrating quickly into the group.

Torchic, naturally sociable and already familiar with Mudkip, was the first to accept it.

Poliwag, another Water-type Pokémon, also accepted it easily. Poliwag often acted as the group's mediator, helping maintain peace between Torchic and Aron.

Aron, with its more reserved personality, initially kept some distance from Mudkip. However, seeing that Torchic and Poliwag had accepted it, Aron gradually opened up.

After a while, Aron discovered that Mudkip also had a strong fighting spirit, which piqued Aron's interest even more.

To Aron, a Pokémon that wasted its talent wasn't worthy of respect.

Compared to Cain's first-team Pokémon, who trained relentlessly, Aron felt it needed to work harder as well.

However, Cain had restricted it to building a solid foundation before beginning intensive training.

Aron admired Cain's veteran Pokémon, like Honchkrow, Slowking, and Skorupi, for their dedication to training.

But Aron and the other younger Pokémon hadn't experienced the hardships Cain and his Pokémon had endured on the Trial Island or the times when Cain was injured, and the Pokémon could do nothing to help.

Thus, they were still able to enjoy moments of peace and carefreeness, thanks to the veterans who ensured their protection.

The young Pokémon were growing increasingly attached to Cain, and their bond with him was deepening quickly.

For Cain, who had never valued bonds with Pokémon in his previous life, his greatest achievement in this life might be the profound connection he was forming with his Pokémon.

Thanks to his telepathic ability, Cain could communicate more easily with his young Pokémon and used this skill to enhance their teamwork during battles.

After playing for a while, Cain let the young Pokémon continue playing on their own, as the tree hollow had enough space for them.

Then, Cain woke Haunter, who had been resting in his shadow.

Haunter slowly emerged from the shadow. In recent days, although it had fought a lot, it hadn't improved as quickly as Sneasel, who had an advantage in the forest.

"Haunter, bring out the Larvitar incubator," Cain ordered.
