On the other front, Tyranitar had also resolved the battle against Chesnaught.
They never would have imagined being defeated by Pokémon against which they had type advantage.
Cain looked at the two Pokémon fallen in the crater and immediately threw two Poké Balls.
After all, they were starters, and already at Elite level—their value was more than considerable.
But upon hitting them, the Poké Balls didn't open as they should have.
Instead, they bounced off.
"So it's just as I thought..." Cain murmured.
Since they had been abandoned without breaking the bond with their original Poké Balls, no other trainer could capture them.
The scene stirred a faint indignation in him.
Some trainers, when abandoning a Pokémon, at least went to the trouble of releasing that bond, giving them the chance to be taken in by someone else.
But in this case, neither Chesnaught nor Delphox had been released.
That's why Cain's attempt had failed.
The Pokémon surrounding the place, upon seeing their companions defeated, finally understood the difference in power with Cain's Pokémon.
They no longer dared to rush into the attack.
But they still bared their teeth and claws, looking fierce.
Cain looked at them and slowly shook his head.
All of them were unfortunate Pokémon.
The anger within him gradually faded.
He took out two healing sprays and applied them on Chesnaught and Delphox.
He treated their wounds in a simple manner.
Very soon, both regained consciousness.
Noticing the bandages on their bodies and that the pain had eased, they immediately understood it had been Cain who treated them.
They looked at him with a mix of feelings, not knowing how to react.
"Ka-ron..."
"You've won, human," said Chesnaught.
Perhaps because Cain's final gesture didn't seem so offensive to them.
Then, Chesnaught called out to the surrounding Pokémon.
Although many showed discontent on their faces, they ended up obeying and little by little dispersed.
Delphox stood beside Chesnaught.
They had survived together for a long time; they were the best companions.
She had always followed him as leader. And upon seeing that he had no intention of continuing the fight, she too showed no hostility.
"You may advance," said Chesnaught. "But inside here, it's not just the two of us. There are others with great power, especially..."
He stopped midway through the sentence. But Cain understood what he meant.
He nodded, without adding a word, and pulled two medicine bottles from his pocket.
"Take them, they'll help you heal faster."
The two bottles, under psychic control, floated into the hands of Chesnaught and Delphox.
Without looking back, Cain advanced with his Pokémon toward the depths of Nebel Plateau.
Chesnaught and Delphox followed him with their eyes as he moved away with his companions.
In their eyes appeared a glimmer of envy and sadness.
Surely they shared a close relationship, full of trust...
If only they had met a trainer like that.
A swirl of emotions churned in their hearts.
...
Cain continued forward with his Pokémon.
The wild Pokémon around him grew fewer.
However, as he ventured further in, their numbers rose again.
Surely he had left behind the territory under Chesnaught and Delphox's watch, and the Pokémon of this zone weren't under their control.
As they gradually surrounded him, Cain sighed with a hint of annoyance.
No matter how unfortunate they were, that didn't justify attacking him without cause.
There was no other option: he would have to knock them all unconscious.
If they took a hard blow, it wouldn't be his fault.
Once more, Cain led his Pokémon into battle as they advanced.
He had already covered half the way. If the commotion was big enough, it might attract the Pokémon he was searching for.
That's why he slowed his pace a bit.
After some time of fighting, the wild Pokémon finally halted.
A figure slowly emerged from the forest.
Seeing it, a spark of surprise appeared on Cain's face.
"A Pokémon like this could also be abandoned? What kind of madness is that?" he exclaimed, unable to contain himself.
The faces of Tyranitar and the others also grew serious.
From the approaching Pokémon emanated a powerful threat.
It was tall and sturdy, its body mostly purple, with smooth, shiny skin.
A large tail stretched behind it, and green rings could be seen on its tail and neck.
Its entire body was coated in mucus, especially its hands and chin.
The pseudo-legendary of Kalos, the Dragon-type Pokémon Goodra!
Cain could hardly believe he was seeing a Goodra in this place.
Could someone really abandon a pseudo-legendary?
What kind of spoiled child or capricious family could have made such a decision?
Goodra was a Pokémon of very docile nature. To the trainers it cherished, it often wrapped them in its mucus.
It might seem unpleasant, but it was its way of showing affection.
As a dragon, it possessed tremendous strength. Its body was flexible, and the power of the horns on its head when contracting and releasing was equivalent to a hundred professional boxers punching at once.
But this particular Goodra bore a cold expression.
Nothing seemed to make it happy.
Seeing this, Cain confirmed it was another Pokémon abandoned by its trainer.
Perhaps not everyone could overlook its appearance, and Goodra's slippery, slimy look must have been the reason for its rejection.

Upon reviewing its data, Cain felt genuine pity.
Although its Blue quality was relatively low for a pseudo-legendary, reaching level 65 and entering the Elite level made it stand out.
A pseudo-legendary at that level could unleash terrifying force.
If it had grown under Cain's care, its limit would have been far greater.
A Pokémon like this deserved investment in medicines to enhance its potential.
Tyranitar and Shelgon, for example, hadn't started with high quality. Yet under Cain's guidance, they had far surpassed this Goodra.
The trainer who had it before simply wasted a Pokémon of this caliber.
"GOOO-DRAAA!"
Goodra roared. In its eyes burned a hatred toward humans even stronger than Chesnaught's and Delphox's.
