Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 393 - 392: The Plan for the Pokémon

Once things stabilize here, Cain will likely enter a period of seclusion for a while, focusing on development and growth.

Therefore, the training and care of the Pokémon must be organized now.

First is Honchkrow, who has just evolved. Its body has grown more than twice in size, which has caused a decrease in its physical control. Additionally, due to the level increase on Trial Island, it will need more time to adapt.

As it's a change in physical form, the weight Honchkrow carried before has now become irrelevant.

For this reason, Cain adjusted Honchkrow's weight load to 75 kg. Even so, Honchkrow is managing it well.

The weight shouldn't be increased too much at once, but once it adapts, it will be gradually raised.

In addition, Honchkrow has learned a new flying-type move: Sky Attack. While powerful, it requires significant charging time, slowing down its offense.

Reducing the charge time is something Cain will need to address.

Honchkrow also changed its ability from Prankster to Moxie, which requires adjustments to its combat rhythm and style. Previously, its role was support and distraction, but now it could become a main attacker or a finisher.

Moxie is a highly potent ability when enough consecutive victories are achieved.

Next is Slowpoke.

Slowpoke has been with Cain almost as long as Honchkrow, making it one of his oldest team members.

However, its dark green potential has left it lagging behind Cain's other main Pokémon, making it the weakest in terms of ability.

Nevertheless, this issue should improve once it evolves.

Cain has already prepared everything needed for its evolution, but Slowpoke has yet to decide what form it wants to evolve into.

It's been hesitant, as changing forms is a significant step for Slowpoke, and adapting to a new body could be challenging.

However, after witnessing Honchkrow evolve and turn the tide of battle, Slowpoke has started seriously contemplating its own evolution.

Evolution represents a major transformation for any Pokémon.

Slowpoke's evolution is a priority for Cain since, if he wants to open a gym, he'll need Pokémon recognized by the League. Slowpoke must evolve for Cain to pass the League's trials.

Now, Haunter.

During its time on Trial Island, Haunter benefited greatly from the Gastly cave, increasing both its level and the concentration of ghost-type energy in its body, significantly enhancing its power.

As a ghost-type Pokémon, it still needs to improve its control over this energy.

Previously, there was an issue with excess energy inflating its body, but after compressing it, its form became more solid. This brings it closer to a Gengar-like constitution, though it still has a way to go.

Sneasel.

Sneasel went relatively unnoticed on Trial Island, as there weren't many suitable rivals for it, and its strength wasn't enough to turn the tide of battle.

Its control over ice-type energy has improved, but now it needs to level up and gain more battle experience.

In the upcoming tasks to stabilize Leafy Town, Sneasel will be one of Cain's key Pokémon working in the shadows.

It's crucial that Sneasel doesn't fall behind the main team in terms of level.

Then there's Skorupi. Its level has reached an awkward position within Cain's team. While it's stronger than newcomers like Aron, it still has a considerable gap compared to the main team.

As the first Pokémon Cain hatched, he has high expectations for Skorupi.

It hasn't had many opportunities so far, but in this upcoming period, Cain plans to develop its poison-type abilities. If suitable enemies appear, Skorupi and Sneasel will be key players in Cain's battles.

As for Miltank, despite her improved potential to green, Cain has decided she won't be a main battle Pokémon since Miltank isn't fond of fighting. She will likely be relegated to the support team, acting as a caretaker for Aron and other Pokémon.

Miltank's milk and nurturing nature make she the perfect nanny for growing Pokémon

With its milk, Aron and the others will grow stronger and healthier, as Skorupi is a good example of this.

Cain's main team is temporarily organized this way.

Now, about the three newcomers:

Aron is the least concerning for Cain. As long as it has enough food, it will train on its own without being asked.

However, if Cain doesn't earn money quickly, Aron might drain his resources. Despite its small size, its appetite is voracious, far greater than a large Pokémon like Tropius. When it has nothing to do, it follows Cain's instructions for training or challenges other Pokémon like Skorupi.

Torchic is Cain's biggest concern. It's in an abnormal condition that Cain has been trying to resolve. Tonight, a new solution might emerge, and Cain hopes it will have a high success rate.

If Torchic's situation isn't resolved, Cain won't be able to train it intensively and will have to stick to light physical training.

Lastly, Poliwag. The pond is still under construction, so its movement space is limited.

Despite its short life in a tank with other Pokémon, Poliwag has developed an unusual maturity for its size, making it very popular with Aron and Torchic.

In summary, Cain's Pokémon are progressing well, and their growth path has already been meticulously planned.

In time, Cain will see a significant leap in his strength.

That will be the moment Cain sets all his plans into motion.
