To put it simply, this woman's two Pokémon, Latios and Latias, have congenital defects. Although they are much better than ordinary Pokémon in terms of strength and potential, they are still somewhat inferior to the legendary Pokémon in Aoki's mind.
At least compared to what Aoki had seen, Adams ' Latios was significantly different.
If we think about it in a more complex way, could these two defective Latios and Latias represent a cult or some special organization that might be able to replicate such defective products?
Of course, this guess is rather exaggerated, but it's not entirely without possibility.
"It seems we're bound to have a battle. I wonder if you're prepared. You know, once this kind of battle starts, it might be a matter of life and death!" Aoki said calmly.
While verbally asking her if she was ready, his body betrayed him by untying Poké Balls from his belt and tossing them in front of him.
Gengar (level 83), Tyranitar (level 81), Slowking (level 80), Aggeron (level 78), Blaziken (level 79), and Salamence (level 71)!
These Pokémon's strength has increased rapidly over the past two months. Among these six Pokémon, Salamence has seen the greatest increase in strength.
Although his level 71 is significantly weaker than the other five Pokémon, his solid foundation and lower starting level make it understandable that he would improve quickly in a challenging environment.
After all, for Tyranitar and his group, the interior of Mt. Silver was at most a place between normal and hard difficulty, but for Salamence and his group, it was a typical hellish difficulty. If they wanted to adapt to hellish life as soon as possible, they could only quickly improve their strength and become a member of hell.
Fortunately, Aoki had built a very solid foundation for him, so while the rapid increase in strength did have an impact on him, it wasn't a major one.
Moreover, Salamence wasn't the only one whose strength increased rapidly; among the Pokémon whose strength increased rapidly, his impact was the smallest.
This situation is exactly as Aoki had hoped before preparing to begin his training here. The stronger Pokémon will improve at a slightly slower pace, while the relatively weaker Pokémon will definitely improve much faster in a high-intensity, high-danger environment. As for how much faster, that's up to Aoki to control.
However, if things continue as they are now, then for a period of time that is neither too long nor too short, all the main battle Pokémon will maintain a level difference of about ten levels. Within this level difference, even the Pokémon with the greatest difference in strength will be able to participate in various lineups.
This allows him to see what Aoki most wants to achieve: to be able to adjust and control all the Pokémon and lineups based on the opponent's situation.
For example, of the six Pokémon he summoned, the first five were his usual Sandstorm lineup, but he chose Salamence for the last one.
Is it because Salamence is strong?
no!
Is it because Salamence is handsome that he looks more imposing?
That's definitely not it!
The main reason is that the opponent's mobility and flexibility are too high. Aoki cannot guarantee whether she will send out Pokémon during the battle, or rather, whether she will be able to seize the opportunity to send out Pokémon to directly decapitate the opponent.
With Gengar out of the shadows, Aoki needs to ensure his own safety.
Of course, if necessary, he will also summon other Pokémon to participate in this battle. After all, it is a life-or-death battle, and as long as he can win, it is all possible.
Seeing that Aoki had summoned six Pokémon, looking ready to fight, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Before coming to find Aoki, she had done some research and knew what Aoki's strength was like, but now it seems that Aoki's strength is even greater than she imagined.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, since Black Emissary fell head over heels for Aoki.
She is stronger than Black Emissary, but to say that she is much stronger or that there is a huge gap is not necessarily true. After all, their positions and duties are at the same level. Moreover, if she had the ability to kill Black Emissary instantly, she would have already taken care of this guy whom she finds extremely annoying.
Aoki has already laid out his defenses, and if she doesn't show them now, she'll become very passive once Aoki's Tyranitar completely dominates the field.
"By the way, you don't know my name yet, do you? My name is Agatha, and I bet it'll be a name you'll remember for a long time." As she spoke, the woman took out Poké Balls and tossed them all into the air.
A Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region, a Dragon-type Pokémon Dragonite! A Flygon known as the Flying Earth Dragon! A Pseudo-Legendary from the Unova region. Dragon-type Pokémon, Hydreigon! And a Flying-type and Dragon-type Pokémon with huge ears, looking like a bat, Noivern!
Add to that Latias and Latios who are always by her side, and this is exactly the same all- Dragon-type lineup as Lance!
Moreover, the sheer audacity of its lineup far surpasses that of Lance.
Two Dragon-type mythical beasts, and one Kanto. Pseudo-Legendary Dragonite, an Unova Pseudo-Legendary Hydreigon!
luxury!
If I had to describe it in just two words, those would be it. I believe that in the Pokémon World, in terms of sheer star power, Agatha from this cult should be in the top five.
However, upon seeing Hydreigon, Aoki wore a thoughtful expression.
"No need to guess, that's right, this is Old Black's Hydroigon. Now it's my Pokémon, and we get along pretty well!" Agatha said, flying onto Hydroigon's back. Hydroigon shuddered and nodded repeatedly, as if afraid that something terrible would happen if it nodded too slowly.
The fact that all three heads nodded at the same time indicates that this woman's methods were quite effective, since three heads represent three different personalities.
However, from Aoki's perspective, this woman's Pokémon lineup seems quite strong, with each Pokémon possessing Champion-level strength. But aside from dealing with Latios and Latias, the other four Pokémon seem to show more fear of her than affection and fondness.
In other words, the synergy between Pokémon and Trainer is insufficient, and in terms of lineup, the opponent also lacks a clear tactical core.
This is a team of brute force built entirely on sheer strength.
Some people are afraid of reckless people, feeling that they don't play by the rules, are difficult to deal with, and don't like dealing with them.
But for Aoki, it was quite the opposite. He really enjoyed fighting against reckless teams. Otherwise, how could he demonstrate his superior tactics and experience the feeling of being a Trainer who could strategize and plan?
