บท 33: Chapter 33:

The stillness of night enveloped Cain and Murkrow as they drifted off to sleep in their tent, lulled by the melodic chirping of insects and the gentle rustle of leaves.

When they awoke, the sun had risen, casting its fiery red glow upon the sky like a swollen, angry face. They set about rekindling their fire, preparing a nourishing breakfast, and beginning their daily training regimen.

Cain focused on strengthening his body, while Murkrow honed his moves, knowing that dedication and persistence would ultimately lead to success. For, as the old saying goes, the work of the year must be done in the spring, and the work of the day must be done in the morning. And so, they trained with renewed vigor, knowing that their morning efforts would yield twice the results with half the effort.

Murkrow had recently acquired four new moves from TMs: Protect, Substitute, Screech, and Dark Pulse. Each required extensive practice and mastery to be used effectively in battle. Except for Protect, which could not be trained in the traditional sense, the other three moves all required a significant amount of training in order to be used proficiently. Only through mastery could these moves truly be wielded in combat.

Of particular importance were the two life-saving moves, Protect and Substitute, crucial for survival in the wild. Dark Pulse, as Murkrow's primary dark-type move, was also a move that required constant training. All four moves were essential, each serving a unique purpose in various situations.

In addition to these new moves, Murkrow also needed to continue training Wing Attack, which he had only recently acquired. Though the weight he carried had been strenuous, the constant training of his wings had naturally improved the power of his Wing Attack.

"Murkrow, use Dark Pulse on the large tree in front of you!" commanded Cain, having completed his own training session and now lending his guidance to Murkrow's targeted training.

Hearing the command, Murkrow nodded and focused his energy. An aura of pure malevolence radiated from his body as a wave of pitch-black dark energy gathered around him. With a surge of malice, he unleashed the energy onto the tree, crashing into it with formidable force.

The ground trembled and the leaves rustled in the wake of Murkrow's Dark Pulse, as deep, jagged scratches marred the trunk of the tree he had targeted. A sinister hiss echoed through the clearing, the added effect of the dark energy.

"You see the damage caused by Dark Pulse now, don't you? That tree is still left standing with only some broken bark. Against most foes, the effects of the move may not be so striking," Cain observed, "But don't be discouraged. You've just learned this move. With practice and control, you'll be able to focus the energy, making it all the more powerful. You'll be able to defeat even powerful Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon with this move of yours."

Murkrow nodded eagerly, determined to master this powerful move.

Once again, the aura of malice surrounded Murkrow as he gathered the dark energy. Instead of releasing it wildly, he focused on controlling the spread, condensing the energy for maximum impact. After a few moments, when the energy had reached its peak, Murkrow unleashed Dark Pulse upon the tree once more.

"Bang!" The ground shook less violently this time, but a finger-sized black hole appeared on the trunk of the tree, smoke rising from the wound. The attack was much more powerful than before. Murkrow was pleased with the progress he had made and determined to continue perfecting this move.

Cain watched with pride as Murkrow's control of Dark Pulse improved, nodding in satisfaction. It was clear that Murkrow possessed a natural talent for energy control, a skill that could only be honed through constant exposure and training.

"Well done, Murkrow. By controlling the concentration of energy and minimizing unnecessary losses, you've increased the power of the move. Though the release time is still too slow, with more experimentation, you'll improve. Keep up the good work," Cain praised Murkrow, knowing that recognition and encouragement would only drive the Pokemon to work harder.

Murkrow eagerly accepted the praise and redoubled his efforts.

Cain couldn't help but smile, feeling honored to have such a gifted Pokemon under his tutelage.

After an hour of training, Cain and Murkrow set out on their journey once more, the main objective being to fulfill Umbra's request. But basic training could not be neglected, for it would be a waste of both time and life.

Murkrow, feeling refreshed after consuming some Pokeblocks, quickly regained his peak condition, even his aura appearing slightly enhanced. The invisible effects of Pokeblocks were undeniable, allowing for recovery in mere minutes as opposed to hours.

With consistent use of Pokeblocks, the gap between Murkrow and other Pokemon would only continue to widen. The effectiveness of Pokeblocks made Pokemon breeders a highly sought-after commodity, even if they could only make the most basic pokeblocks.

A Pokemon breeder might not possess great strength, but they should never be underestimated. The relationships they hold and the favors they are owed by powerful individuals, like a hornet's nest, should not be trifled with.

Cain and Murkrow had strayed from their path the day before in search of water, and now they must retrace their steps.

As the sun rose, the forest came alive with the activity of Pokemon emerging under the warm rays. The entire forest teemed with vitality and energy.

As they journeyed deeper, the Pokemon they encountered became fewer in number, but more alert and aware of their surroundings. Though, from time to time, they would come across injured Pokemon lying on the ground or in trees, or even corpses.

Cain and Murkrow paid little attention to these sights, but as they delved deeper into the forest, they remained vigilant, with Murkrow ever ready to strike.

Their journey was made easier by the system's scanning function, ensuring that no Pokemon could get too close to Cain without being detected.

In truth, under the system's scanning, Cain had become aware of several Pokemon deliberately approaching him, even trailing him for quite some time.

As he came to a stop, a Pinsir suddenly lunged out of the undergrowth, aiming for the vulnerable Cain.

"Caw!" Murkrow, ever vigilant, reacted in an instant, using a combination of Tailwind and Feint Attack to send the Pinsir flying.

Cain couldn't help but laugh at the Pinsir's failed ambush, recognizing it as the same Pokemon that Murkrow had defeated before. But this time, it had learned from its mistake and wisely targeted Cain first. However, it was a mistake still, for even without Murkrow, the system had detected the danger and Cain's body was tensed and ready to dodge at a moment's notice.

"Kruaah!" But the Pinsir had come prepared, as three more Pinsirs leapt out of the surrounding grass upon hearing the cry. According to the system's scan, they were roughly as strong as the one before them.

Cain laughed, "How interesting, they've come as a group for a rematch." A few days ago, Murkrow had been able to defeat one of these Pinsirs, let alone now that Murkrow has grown even more powerful. Even if he were to face these four Pinsirs together, they would be easy to defeat.

"Kruh-ee! Kruh-ee! Kruh-ee! Kruh-eee!" The four Pinsirs exchanged glances, and with a mutual understanding, they advanced on Cain as one. Having suffered defeat before, they knew that the seemingly weak creature before them was their greatest threat.

"Murkrow, Screech!" Cain commanded calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Caw!" A piercing screech echoed through the forest, causing the Pinsirs to wince in pain. Never before had they heard such an ear-splitting sound, one that seemed to resonate in their very minds. Their bodies trembled involuntarily as they felt their hard exoskeletons weaken under the force of the noise.

"Murkrow, let's see the fruits of your labors," said Cain, a hint of devilry creeping into his voice as he pulled a remote control from his belt. With a wicked grin, he pressed the button, releasing Murkrow from the weight-bearing device that had held him back.

Instantly, Murkrow felt his body lighten and soar, propelled forward by Tailwind. "Caw! Caw!" he cried out in exhilaration, feeling as though he had become one with the wind itself. He had never expected that his training would yield such swift results, but after only a few days, his speed had increased dramatically.

As he flew past, Cain couldn't help but smirk. At this velocity, the Pinsirs ahead were nothing more than sitting ducks.

"Murkrow, stop playing around. Use Gust to hold down those two Pinsirs in front of you, and then rush to take care of the two behind you with Wing Attack," ordered Cain.

Murkrow nodded in understanding and, with a fierce flap of his wings, he summoned two powerful whirlwinds, halting the Pinsirs' advance. Without hesitation, he turned and flew towards the Pinsirs at his rear, his Flying energy gathering around his wings. With a whistling sound, he appeared before them and, with a swift slash of his wings, sent the Pinsir on the left crashing into a tree, where it lay motionless.

"One hit kill!" With the defenses of his enemies weakened by Screech, Murkrow unleashed all of his might in his attack. Flying moves, already super-effective against Bug-type Pokemon, dealt double damage to the Pinsir, felling it in a single blow.

But the remaining Pinsir was not so easily defeated. Roaring in rage, it slammed its horned head into Murkrow with a move called 'Vital Throw'.

"Murkrow, use Protect! Follow that up with another Wing Attack and finish it off!" commanded Cain. Obediently, Murkrow activated the mysterious energy stored within his body, creating a flowing, light-green shield around himself. Though the shield shattered under Pinsir's attack, it had done its job, stopping Pinsir's move.

With wings thick with Flying energy, Murkrow struck Pinsir without warning, the sound of cracking armor filling the air as the creature flew backwards and fell to the ground, joining its fallen companion.

The two Pinsirs that had been halted by Gust broke through, their scratched armor testament to the damage they had suffered. In disbelief, the Pinsir who had come seeking revenge watched as his two companions were defeated, unable to comprehend how Murkrow had grown so powerful.

"Murkrow, continue using Gust and then charge in for Wing Attack to finish them off," ordered Cain. With gusto, Murkrow unleashed two more whirlwinds, enveloping the Pinsirs once more. Without hesitation, he obeyed Cain's orders, rushing into the whirlwind and unleashing a blinding light from his wings with two resounding bangs as the Pinsirs were thrown out of the dissipating whirlwind, defeated.

"Caw!" With a fierce cry, Murkrow paid no heed to the two Pinsirs that lay defeated at his feet. It was the first time since joining Cain that he had fought so well.

Cain stroked Murkrow's head fondly, his smile tinged with a hint of scolding. "This is just the result of a short period of training, don't let it go to your head and continue to work hard," he said, pleased with Murkrow's strength but wary of his pride.

"Caw!" Murkrow croaked, eagerly assuring Cain that he was not proud, but only a little excited.

"Haha, very well," Cain laughed, ruffling Murkrow's feathers. "You have seen the benefits of your usual training, have you not?" he teased.

Murkrow nodded eagerly, his small eyes shining with adoration. He was on the verge of becoming Cain's devoted follower.

"Ha ha ha!" Cain flicked his finger against Murkrow's head and picked up the remote control, waving it in front of Murkrow. "Are you ready to have the weight put back on?"

Murkrow froze, not yet having fully relished the feeling of being unencumbered. But he understood that Cain's intentions were good and, with reluctance in his heart, he nodded his agreement.

Cain, noticing Murkrow's reluctance, knew it was not yet time for Murkrow to let his guard down. He reactivated the weight at the same 5kg as before, and Murkrow immediately felt his body become heavy and his height drop slightly. But he quickly adjusted and was back to his previous position. Having grown accustomed to the weight, he was soon able to move normally.

Under the scan of the system, Cain was surprised to see that Murkrow had leveled up after the battle.

I'll keep quiet and let Murkrow believe it's the result of the weight training, so he'll train harder in the future, Cain thought to himself.

One of the benefits of fighting in the wild was that there was no need to tidy up the battlefield afterwards. As the excitement of battle died down, the forest fell into silence. Seizing the opportunity, Cain and Murkrow quickly departed the area. This battle had been a small interlude, the only gain being that Murkrow had leveled up once again.

Cain always checked his surroundings against the landmarks on his map to ensure they stayed on course.

Four hours had passed since the battle with the Pinsirs, and they had traveled thirty kilometers deep into the forest when they completely left the periphery and headed towards the central circle. The trees in the forest grew taller, with thicker trunks and more lush leaves, and the gaps for sunlight were becoming smaller. As a result, the temperature dropped and a piercing chill filled the forest.

The tracks of the Pokémon were still visible, but those of weaker ones like Weedle and Caterpie were nearly imperceptible, and there were no signs of conflict between Pidgeys and Spearows.

As the strength of the Pokémon increased, and Murkrow's aura wasn't enough to deter them, more and more Pokémon followed them whenever they ventured into their territory.

Just as Cain was gathering berries from a tree, a Raticate emerged from the ground and launched a vicious attack.

Cain was caught off guard as the system couldn't scan through the ground, but thanks to his honed reflexes, he was able to escape with only a shallow cut. The Raticate was level 20, and its front claws were used for digging all year round, if Cain hadn't dodged in time, it would have left a nasty wound on his hand, or even caused permanent disability.

Enraged at the sight of Cain's injury, Murkrow launched a flurry of attacks, throwing all manner of moves at the Raticate. The Raticate, thinking Cain and Murkrow were easy prey, was caught off guard and fell under the storm of attacks, its face frozen in shock. It had bitten off more than it could chew.

Despite the easy victory against the level 20 Raticate, Murkrow was not pleased.

Cain, fortunate enough to have brought enough medicine, bore the pain and quickly treated the wound, cleaning it with water, disinfecting it with spray, and wrapping it with gauze. He did not make a sound throughout the process. In his previous life, Cain had developed excellent wound-management skills, having been injured often, so he was used to such things.

A human was vulnerable against a Pokémon, and the slightest mistake could cost him his life. He couldn't rely too much on the system, which had a small scanning range and couldn't give timely feedback against a Pokémon that either attacked from a long distance or moved very quickly, especially not against those Pokémon that were underground.

Cain had thought that after defeating the Raticate, everything would be fine, but he had not expected to have stirred up a hornet's nest. One by one, Raticates emerged from the ground and bared their teeth at Murkrow, unwilling to let go of the Pokemon that had dared to harm one of their own.
