After collecting the most difficult and precious material for Darkrai potion, Aoki did not choose to leave Mt. Silver directly.
With his current strength, there aren't many places suitable for him to train his Pokémon. Even his weakest Pokémon, Lucario and Venusaur, along with the two Altaria, have reached Quasi-Elite Four Level. Finding a suitable place for them to battle is quite troublesome.
Since there are powerful Pokémon everywhere here, why settle for second best and create unnecessary trouble for yourself?
Isn't this the perfect place for them right now?
Aoki's current main Pokémon are either in the Quasi-Champion stage, have already entered the Champion level, or are in the process of entering the Champion level.
Once you reach this stage, it becomes quite difficult for Pokémon to improve its strength.
It's possible that Tyranitar might not even level up once in a week of continuous battles. Of course, if he finds a suitable opponent, the rate of improvement might be faster.
However, if it's just training and completing the training tasks on time and in a fixed amount every day, it might not be possible to advance one level in two or three months. This is even with the energy cubes and various resources that Aoki has invested being top-tier for Tyranitar. How could an ordinary trainer afford the astronomical daily resource consumption of Tyranitar at this time?
Therefore, once you reach the Tyranitar level, the rate of power improvement will slow down considerably. Aoki can then focus more of his energy on Pokémon that are improving at a relatively faster rate, such as Lucario, Venusaur, or even... Salamence.
This place is suitable for Slowking level Pokémon training, let alone them.
For others, the interior of Mt. Silver might be fraught with danger, but for Aoki, who had already confronted the most dangerous mythical beast Moltres, nothing could be more perilous.
Therefore, Aoki decided to "retreat" inside Mt. Silver for a period of time.
Anyway, nothing major is happening in the Hoenn League right now, and he gets reports on anything that happens, whether it's from the league or the underworld.
To put it bluntly, if Aoki wanted to, he could sneeze and send shivers down the spine of the entire Hoenn Region.
However, now that the Hoenn Region has finally settled down, Team Sky can take this time to develop steadily and earn more resources. Currently, the underground forces in the Hoenn Region are in disarray, and no organization can threaten Team Sky. It is the perfect time to settle down and build up our strength.
The Hoenn Region is fine, but the Kanto Region is too big a deal for Aoki to get involved in.
This is a whirlpool. Too many forces and people are focusing their attention on the Kanto region, and too many ambitious people want a piece of the pie. Aoki is just an insignificant little guy in the middle. He can wait until things in the Kanto region are over before going out, and then see if there are any leftovers he can touch.
However, just because he doesn't care about things in the Kanto region doesn't mean he won't get involved in things in other regions.
Kalos region.
As a region that has only recently joined the league, its overall strength is not weak, but it is slightly inferior to other regions in terms of foundation. It is precisely because of this that Team Flare, which appeared earlier with Aoki's intervention, has developed quite rapidly.
Ghetsis's skills have improved quite rapidly. Some time ago, he consulted Aoki about whether he should participate in the Elite Four selection in the Kalos region. In the end, after Aoki's explanation, he gave up the idea. After all, he is different from Aoki. His focus is still on Team Flare. Being an Elite Four member would not be an advantage for him, but rather a hindrance.
However, Aoki suggested that he could recruit someone with good skills but no powerful connections to run for the Elite Four. With the support of Team Flare, there would be some help hands available, and once the person becomes an Elite Four member, they could provide Team Flare with some help hands in return.
After their analysis and calculations, they decided that Bertha, who was skilled with Fire-type Pokémon, was a very good candidate.
Ghetsis has already sent people to contact her. If Aoki has the time, it would be best if he could make the trip in person. After all, in Ghetsis's opinion, the people that Aoki values have some of her strengths, and Aoki is such a persuasive person.
Aside from that, Aoki had been asking Ghetsis to help him collect mega stones.
Mega Evolution has not yet been announced. If Aoki wants to maximize his profits before Mega Evolution is released, he should collect as many Mega Stones as possible now. Mega Stones of any species and any Pokémon will become a tremendous fortune.
The cult is making more and more noise, and Mega Evolution will be announced sooner or later, whether or not it is announced by Aoki.
Once announced, it will have a significant impact on the entire Pokémon World landscape.
The Kalos region is the birthplace of Mega Evolution and also the place with the most Mega Stones. Now is the best time to collect them, so finding them isn't too difficult. Team Flare has already collected quite a few Mega Stones and is just waiting for Aoki to collect them.
Aoki has many Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, but there aren't any matching Mega Stones, so I'll have to make a trip to the Kalos region every now and then.
However, he can't have too many Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution at the same time, and some Pokémon are at a relatively low level, so even if they Mega Evolve, they won't provide much help. It's better to take advantage of this free time to give the Pokémon some experience.
At least in his view, he still has a lot of room for improvement in his Pokémon.
As for Darkrai's recovery potion, there's no rush to make it.
Darkrai has just recovered to Champion Level strength and needs to familiarize himself with and get a feel for his body.
Moreover, each use of this type of recovery potion is a form of mental torture for Darkrai, so it's best not to use it repeatedly in a short period of time.
The amount of the drug wasn't large this time, yet it caused Darkrai this level of pain. To regain greater strength next time, he will definitely need a larger dose of the drug, which requires him to be fully prepared both physically and mentally.
Aoki then left the Ninetales valley to find a suitable place to train his Pokémon.
The area within Mt. Silver is quite large, and Aoki has plenty of options.
While training his Pokémon, he also needs to further train his Psychic abilities.
Having become an Advanced Psychic User, he still can't use Teleport, which is a complete waste of his spatial talent.
Moreover, with the sudden addition of six Unown, Aoki needs to communicate and exchange ideas with them to see if they have mastered any important unknown secrets.
