Chapter 1180 - Chapter 1434 - Azoth

In fact, it wasn't any special method; Aoki simply planted a psychic seed in Pukila's mind.

This was not a new ability he gained under the amplification of the Unown this time, but rather an enhancement of his existing abilities.

Because his perception and control of space were more sensitive, his control over psychic abilities was stronger, and his own psychic abilities became more outstanding, the release of the psychic seed was once again strengthened.

He didn't need to touch the opponent's head; within a certain, not-too-distant range, he could successfully release it, and he no longer needed the opponent to be completely without resistance to plant it, as before.

Now, as long as the opponent's will was not so firm, and their intention to resist was not so clear, he could plant the psychic seed.

After being hit in the head by a psychic ability before she could even react, Pukila slowly closed her eyes.

Kushelosky and the others, seeing this, widened their eyes and instinctively tried to open their Poké Balls, but Pukila quickly opened her eyes again.

When she first opened them, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, but when she saw Aoki looking at her with a smile, her heart tightened again, and she instinctively and respectfully called out to Aoki, "Sir."

Unlike before, when she only called him "Sir" out of fear of Aoki's strength, now it was a sincere, heartfelt "Sir."

Aoki nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that in the future, the psychic seed could be used more often; for unprepared people, it could still have a good surprise effect.

He turned to look at Kushelosky and the others, the smile on his face making them even more afraid.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. After all… Team Flare still needs your research capabilities now." Aoki raised his right hand and once again unleashed several psychic seeds towards them.

Even Pukila couldn't resist, so these people, of course, couldn't either.

"Sir!" Kushelosky and the others respectfully called out.

It was a strange feeling. Just now, they were clearly very worried about Aoki making a move against them, and their reverence for Aoki was only due to his strength, but now they could sincerely call out the very respectful words "Sir."

In fact, in their eyes at this moment, the position of Flandre, whom they originally respected the most, was unconsciously replaced by Aoki in their hearts.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if their thoughts and thinking had suddenly changed, and everything still seemed so natural.

Using so many psychic seeds continuously, even with Aoki's current psychic power and control, he felt a bit overwhelmed, and tiny beads of sweat seeped from the pores on his forehead.

However, a satisfied smile appeared on Aoki's face.

At this point, the entire Team Flare in the Kalos region was finally completely in his hands.

But even Aoki himself felt a bit terrified of this psychic seed. If others also possessed such an ability, it would be too terrifying.

If others knew that Aoki possessed such an ability, then the entire Pokémon world probably wouldn't tolerate him.

After all, no one wants to be controlled by others so unpreparedly.

The most important thing is that after being controlled, one has no reaction or ability to resist whatsoever.

This could be said to be a forbidden ability. Even if Aoki's identity were exposed, this psychic seed ability could not be exposed, otherwise he would surely become the target of public criticism, an existence that the entire Pokémon world would clamor to beat.

The rest of the matter was easier. Aoki explained Team Rocket's joint plan, and he didn't hide much about Sakaki's future plans, making sure Team Flare was prepared.

Team Flare cooperating with Team Rocket, in Aoki's opinion, had few downsides. However, this would bring Team Flare into the open too early, directly opposing the Kalos League, so preparations needed to be made in advance.

Flandre's ability was undeniable. To develop Team Flare to its current extent in such a short time, he was a rare talent.

It was just that before his ambition could be fully realized, Aoki took advantage of the opportunity and controlled him in advance, otherwise today's events would not have gone so smoothly.

Don't think that Aoki seemed to have taken down the entire Team Flare in one go today. The main reason was that he previously held the identity of Team Flare's deputy leader, allowing him to approach the people here without pressure, coupled with Flandre's complete lack of guard against Aoki.

If Team Flare, which excels in technology, didn't demonstrate its technological capabilities, then it naturally couldn't pose much of a threat to Aoki.

If he were to face Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region, or Team Plasma in the Unova region, how to approach their main base and meet their leaders would probably be a huge problem.

After meeting their leaders, how to ensure his own safety would also be a problem, and convincing them would be another huge problem.

Therefore, Aoki was very glad that his mission was to come to the Kalos region to persuade Team Flare.

After explaining everything, Aoki once again used Teleport to disappear from the office, leaving Flandre a Gyarados Mega Stone, which was the Mega Stone he could use.

No matter what, the combat strength of Team Flare's high-ranking members was relatively weak, and this was something that couldn't be changed. After all, these people from Team Flare were all born as researchers; combat was not their forte.

Only later did Pukila join, otherwise, it really would have been a bit lacking.

After leaving Team Flare's base, Aoki didn't stop. He had other things to do on this trip to the Kalos region. He had put in a lot of effort in the Kalos region back then, and now it was almost time for him to reap the rewards.

Riding on Salamence, he once again arrived at the border of the Kalos region, returning to this place forgotten by most people, the Nivelle Plateau, the place where Aoki caught Magearna.

Thinking of Magearna, a hint of a smile appeared on Aoki's face.

As one of his Pokémon that didn't particularly like to battle, Aoki didn't deliberately emphasize that Magearna should battle or quickly improve her strength, but rather tried his best to let her do what she liked.

Even if Magearna's own strength wasn't strong, and there was a significant gap between her and Tyranitar and the others, her very existence could provide considerable help to Aoki's Pokémon.

Her life force was constantly and subtly improving his Pokémon's abilities, potential, and even their intelligence and temperament.

It must be said that Magearna indeed possessed the qualifications and ability to become a Legendary Pokémon, or rather, a Mythical Pokémon. What she lacked now was just a suitable opportunity.

Similar to Magearna, there was also Diancie, that obedient Diancie who regarded Aoki's words as sacred edicts, that Diamond Princess.

However, Diancie was also different from Magearna. While Diancie couldn't be said to love battling like Salamence or Tyranitar, she at least wasn't averse to it.

Moreover, Diancie plays a very important role in one of Aoki's plans. In the Carbink Kingdom on the breeding island, which has now taken initial shape, Aoki has already started to have the Diamond Minister focus on cultivating a batch of newly hatched Carbink with good aptitudes and potential, to form Aoki's Diamond Army!

The Diamond Army, led by Mega Diancie and with Mega Tyranitar and other Pokémon as its core, once it grows, will definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, raising so many Carbink would require resources and costs that ordinary people could not bear.

However, there's no need to train all the Carbink to the level of Aoki's current Pokémon; as long as they are decent, it's fine.

Moreover, Aoki is not short on money now, and he has many resources, so training a portion of the Carbink is not a problem.

In addition, Carbink, as a Pokémon, doesn't require very high resources for its growth; a certain amount of ore is enough.

At that time, Tyranitar's Sand Stream combined with a large number of Rock and Fairy-type Carbink would probably make even Dragon-type Pokémon tremble at such a combination.

Whether it was Diancie or Magearna, Aoki had spent considerable effort cultivating them during this period.

Not just them, but for the rest of his Pokémon, Aoki had also shifted his attention for a period, gradually moving his focus from Darkrai, Tyranitar, and Gengar to Pokémon with relatively weaker strength.

For example, Salamence, whose strength had surged but still had great room for improvement; Aggron and Lucario, who needed special attention after Aoki obtained methods for improving Steel-type Pokémon's aptitude from the Steven Stone family; and Gardevoir, the Psychic Queen, who also had excellent aptitude.

Of course, besides these few Pokémon that needed special attention, Aoki would still not neglect other Pokémon; every single Pokémon was a companion he needed to cherish.

Even if some Pokémon slowly started to fall behind Aoki's pace due to aptitude and potential issues, this was not a reason for Aoki to give up on them, nor was it an excuse for Aoki to stop investing resources in them.

Since Pokémon are at a certain disadvantage in terms of talent, then as their trainer, one must naturally use various methods to reverse this disadvantage. Otherwise, why would Pokémon still need to rely on trainers? Isn't it because Pokémon need trainers to create miracles?

Now Aoki doesn't lack resources or money, and he's not without options; it's just that the input and the return are not proportional.

If it were in the past, when Aoki wasn't strong enough and didn't have enough resources, he would, of course, meticulously utilize his limited resources, giving the most suitable Pokémon the most suitable resources, and then improving his strength the fastest.

Then, relying on his increased strength to earn more resources, forming a virtuous cycle.

But the current Aoki is completely different from his past self. The identity and strength he now possesses, from any perspective, give him almost endless resources.

Since resources are no longer so precious, then what's the harm in wasting some, even if it's not the most efficient use?

What Aoki was thinking about in his heart was not just Pokémon like Honchkrow and Weavile, whose strength and aura were still quite good, but also Miltank, who he had selectively forgotten a long time ago, that diligent Pokémon who helped Aoki stabilize the rear on the breeding island, that best support who followed Aoki back then.

It was just that Miltank's aptitude back then was ultimately a bit lacking, and there was no evolution that could bring about a qualitative change for her, so she gradually fell out of Aoki's training scope.

But this doesn't mean Aoki completely forgot about her; it's just that when he had limited resources, Miltank was truly willing but unable.

However, now she can be included in the training plan again. Even if he doesn't expect her to participate in battles, it doesn't hinder Aoki's desire to train her.

Silently planning in his mind, Aoki had already crossed the Nivelle Plateau and was flying towards that ancient city.

The Super Machine City, Azoth Kingdom!

From Team Flare's intelligence, Aoki learned that the son of the former First Minister, the mysterious scientist Jarvis, who once seemed a bit timid and whom Aoki had asked them to strongly support, had now completely secured the position of First Minister of the Azoth Kingdom.

With the help and support of Team Flare, Jarvis's power and status became increasingly secure, and his progress in the research of mysterious science was rapid.

When Aoki demonstrated Mega Evolution in front of him, it was like opening a door to a new world for him.

For years, Jarvis had been dedicated to researching the special method Aoki mentioned that allowed Pokémon to Mega Evolve, and he had indeed slowly stumbled upon its key.

Moreover, after Aoki officially announced Mega Evolution, Jarvis managed to push this mysterious science to its peak, just one step away from full completion.

When Aoki left the Team Flare base, he had someone inform Jarvis of Aoki's impending arrival in the Azoth Kingdom through Team Flare's connections.

This caused all the servants in the bustling mansion of the First Minister to become busy at once. Although they didn't know what was going to happen today, seeing their master's demeanor, they knew that the person arriving today was definitely not simple.

One must know that even when important figures from the Azoth Kingdom, who served in the same court and whose status was second only to Jarvis, came to visit, the servants in the mansion did not feel that their master showed such importance. Perhaps even the king's visit would be no more so.

Furthermore, Minister Jarvis, who was noble in the eyes of many servants, was now dressed in a formal suit, holding a special scepter, pacing back and forth in the mansion's garden, appearing very anxious.

For someone who was the head of all ministers to be so flustered, the servants became even more curious about who would be arriving soon.

However, no matter who came, since even their master attached such importance to them, they were not people these servants could approach or offend.

They diligently and conscientiously performed their duties, striving not to make mistakes or incur the wrath of important figures.

Behind Jarvis, who was pacing back and forth, stood two individuals dressed in orange suits, wearing orange sunglasses, and even with orange-dyed hair. They stood expressionlessly behind him, hands clasped behind their backs, in a military stance.

Over the years, Aoki had Team Flare assist Jarvis in establishing a foothold in the Azoth Kingdom, so Team Flare and Jarvis had frequent contact. Over time, they discovered the special scientific technology Jarvis possessed, known as mysterious science.

Team Flare itself was an organization composed of a group of special scientists. Naturally, they were very interested in this mysterious science they had never seen or heard of. At the same time, Jarvis also had great interest in scientific technology from outside the Azoth Kingdom.

With the intentional help of Team Flare and Jarvis, the two different scientific technologies met like a mountain encountering a flowing stream, immediately sparking a great collaboration.

Jarvis continually refined mysterious science through modern scientific technology, thereby establishing a firm foothold in the Azoth Kingdom. In just a few short years, he rose to the highest position among ministers. He only needed to wait for the aging old king to pass away, and Jarvis would officially take over all the power and authority of the entire Azoth Kingdom, with the young princes and princesses having no influence over him.

At the same time, Team Flare also continuously improved its scientific knowledge and created more innovative technologies through Jarvis's mysterious science.

Jarvis had now become another executive of Team Flare, incorporating the Azoth Kingdom into Team Flare's territory.

The two Team Flare members behind him were responsible for his safety.

In the Azoth Kingdom, merely seeing these strangely dressed individuals was a clear sign that they belonged to First Minister Jarvis.

Just as Jarvis was pacing back and forth with unease, a figure slowly materialized in Jarvis's garden, as if someone had painted a stroke in the air.

Seeing this unusual way of appearing, Jarvis knew who had arrived, but he hadn't expected Aoki to appear so silently in the garden.

Aoki looked at the garden of Jarvis's mansion at this moment, completely unlike its desolate appearance when he first arrived, not even on the same level.

He nodded slightly, murmuring to himself, "Now this looks more like a First Minister's garden."

Thump—

"My lord!" Jarvis rushed in front of Aoki and immediately knelt on both knees without hesitation.

He was no longer the person who knew nothing about the outside world, and he had learned about Aoki's identity, strength, and status from Team Flare members.

Jarvis's nervousness was also due to the fact that he hadn't fully completed the task Aoki had given him, which was why he appeared so apprehensive.

Aoki smiled, "Get up, Jarvis, I'm not here to punish you, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Jarvis wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and slowly stood up, "Yes! Yes!"

At the same time, all the Team Flare members in the backyard came before Aoki, placed their right hands on their left chests, and said in unison, "Vice Leader!"

Aoki nodded and waved his hand, signaling them to go about their business.

Although Team Flare was now completely in his hands, Aoki had not taken over the position of Team Flare's leader.

Compared to being a prominent leader, Aoki preferred to be the vice leader who could be a hands-off boss.

Identity was not important; what mattered was how much power and strength one wielded.

Even with the Sky Team in the Hoenn region, although Aoki was the leader, only a handful of people knew his identity as such. Most others didn't know who the Sky Team leader was, only that the Sky Team was currently run by the head butler Rose and a group of veteran executives, along with two parachuted vice leaders.

That's why Aoki had been able to protect his identity so well.

Jarvis, now standing, followed Aoki, leading him towards his research lab, which had doubled in size. He bowed slightly, showing respect for Aoki, and also walked half a step behind, not daring to overstep.

As the First Minister of a kingdom, Jarvis had learned a lot of these intricate customs that Aoki didn't care much about.

He glanced at the respectful Jarvis and the special metal scepter in his hand.

Aoki reached out, and the scepter automatically left Jarvis's hand, falling into Aoki's.

Looking at the scepter, at its very center, similar to the Mega Evolution symbol, there was a thumb-sized dark red gem. From this gem, Aoki could subtly sense faint Mega Evolution energy.

His scepter leaving his hand uncontrollably made Jarvis momentarily unable to react. However, when he saw Aoki thoughtfully looking at the dark red gem on his scepter, his heart trembled slightly, and he became even more reverent towards Aoki.

He respectfully said, "My lord truly has excellent foresight. Although your subordinate has not been able to fully realize your vision, it is about seventy to eighty percent complete. And this gem is the result and crystallization of my research over these years. If you give your subordinate some more time, the Mega Evolution Wave will surely be completed!"

The Mega Evolution Wave was Jarvis's research direction, and it had already achieved some results.

Any Pokémon exposed to this Mega Evolution Wave could Mega Evolve under its influence.

Similar to the Divine Stones of the Divine Cult, it didn't require a deep bond between trainer and Pokémon, or even the Pokémon's consent, to enable Mega Evolution.

Although, unlike the Divine Stones, the side effects on Pokémon after Mega Evolution were much smaller, the pain Pokémon had to endure was considerably stronger compared to the Divine Stones, and the amplification effect after Mega Evolution was not as ideal as imagined.

But no matter what, such an ability was still quite remarkable.

Aoki never intended for Jarvis to truly replicate Mega Evolution. If he could really achieve that, why would others spend so much money on Mega Stones?

Listening to Jarvis's explanation and his detailed account of the principle behind the scepter's ability to generate Mega Evolution Waves, Aoki gained a preliminary understanding.

"Hehe, being able to research this is actually thanks to Team Flare periodically providing those...those Divine Stones collected from the Divine Cult members."

"The gem on the scepter is what I extracted using mysterious science from the Divine Stones of the Divine Cult, specifically the most crucial component that allows Pokémon to Mega Evolve, integrating it into this single gem," Jarvis explained, walking beside Aoki.

"Actually, from my perspective, Mega Evolution is a special kind of light wave that stimulates and activates certain hidden gene fragments within some Pokémon, allowing them to transform these originally recessive genes into dominant genes in a short period. At the same time, these dominant genes will more or less bring a significant boost to the Pokémon."

Jarvis was using the simplest descriptions to explain his understanding of Mega Evolution to Aoki.

After all, Aoki wasn't very familiar with mysterious science, and using some professional terms might have explained it more clearly.

Aoki reached out and stopped Jarvis, who seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke.

He didn't need to understand these things himself; as long as his subordinates understood them, that was enough.

Jarvis discreetly stopped talking.

The two walked into the laboratory. Aoki looked at the respectful Jarvis and asked, "During this time, have you continued to research the mysterious science documents left by Master Eliphas?"

Jarvis was startled by the question, then nodded excitedly, "The two main things your subordinate has been working on during this time are, first, the Mega Evolution content you assigned, and second, researching the documents left by Master Eliphas.

Before, I found some research materials about Master Eliphas among my father's belongings, but not long ago, I found another part of the materials in the kingdom's most secret royal library. And this material actually involves a shocking secret about the Azoth Kingdom!

My lord, let me tell you, this secret is the highest achievement of Eliphas's mysterious science. If one could master it, one could even..."

Jarvis was excited. No matter what, he could be considered a mad scientist, and of course, his abilities were quite outstanding, otherwise, he wouldn't have been valued by Aoki.

"Magearna." Aoki's lips parted slightly as he uttered a name.

Jarvis was stunned to hear the name and stared blankly at Aoki, "This... this name..."

"This should be what you're referring to, Eliphas's most powerful mysterious science achievement, right? And you should also have discovered the secret of the entire Azoth Kingdom, including the kingdom's castle and city walls," Aoki recounted what he remembered.

Because it concerned Magearna, Aoki remembered it quite clearly. As for other unimportant information, it had long been forgotten over the years.

"My... my lord, how do you know?" Jarvis asked, dumbfounded.

He could guarantee that within the entire Azoth Kingdom, the number of people who knew this secret would not exceed the fingers of one hand. Even royal family members were not allowed to casually enter that secret library to read.

It was only because the old king was growing increasingly frail and somewhat unclear in his thoughts, and Jarvis had demonstrated mysterious scientific abilities far exceeding his father's, that he was permitted to enter and peruse these hidden books.

Aoki casually tossed out a Cherish Ball, and a silvery-white, mechanical-looking Pokémon, adorned with dazzling patterns like a robot, appeared in the room.

From its appearance alone, one could tell that this was no ordinary Pokémon.

Even though Magearna didn't enjoy battling, Aoki never stopped training her, so her trials were quite significant. Combined with the awakening of her Aura, her already keen perception of other living beings became even more sensitive.

Therefore, she immediately sensed the ill intent emanating from Jarvis.

Instinctively, she hid behind Aoki, looking at Jarvis with a wary expression.

Although Magearna was a Pokémon and much stronger than Aoki, she wasn't actually aware of this.

Aoki chuckled and patted Magearna's head, signaling her not to worry. Only then did Magearna step out in front of Aoki, once again revealing herself to Jarvis.

Looking at Magearna, Jarvis seemed to be gazing at a rare treasure, especially at the spot on Magearna's chest where her Soul-Heart was located.

Strictly speaking, this Soul-Heart was the true Magearna, while the metal body on the outside was, at most, a powerful shell.

However, as Magearna's strength continuously increased, under the influence of the Soul-Heart, the strength of this metal also steadily grew.

After all, Eliphas had spent a considerable amount of time and resources to create a body that perfectly matched the Soul-Heart.

The unique patterns on Magearna were not merely decorative.

Jarvis tremblingly extended his hand towards the Soul-Heart on Magearna's chest. At this moment, his eyes were fixed solely on this Soul-Heart.

This Soul-Heart could be said to be the pinnacle achievement in the history of mysterious science throughout the entire Azoth Kingdom. Even if Eliphas were resurrected, he would be unable to replicate it, as it involved too many elements of luck and coincidence.

"This... this is the Soul-Heart, the core power source of the entire Azoth Kingdom's Sky Fortress..."

However, just as Jarvis's hand was about to touch Magearna, a thin barrier blocked him, preventing him from getting closer no matter how hard he tried.

It was then that he realized this Magearna was a Pokémon summoned by Aoki, belonging to Aoki.

Looking up and seeing Aoki's cold gaze, Jarvis's heart trembled. The pores on his back suddenly opened and contracted, and his entire undershirt became drenched.

"I know what you're thinking, but you must remember, Magearna is my Pokémon. Since she is my Pokémon, there is no possibility of her becoming a tool," Aoki said, his voice cold.

This was a taboo in his heart, a bottom line that no one could touch.

If anyone dared to cross this line, no matter who they were, there would only be one outcome: an endless, relentless pursuit!

"Yes! Yes!" Jarvis frantically wiped the sweat from his forehead. In that instant, he truly felt that Aoki would kill him, that undisguised desire to end his life.

"I know the secrets of the Azoth Kingdom, and I know what you're talking about. Otherwise, why do you think I would seek you out? Just for Mega Evolution energy?

That kind of thing is merely a temporary boost for my subordinates; it's useless to me," Aoki stated.

Compared to when Aoki first caught her, Magearna's strength had increased by an unknown number of times, and the energy within her Soul-Heart had also grown exponentially. If she were to power Azoth's Sky Fortress, the effect would undoubtedly be better, the power stronger, and all the weapons on the fortress would be enabled.

However, Eliphas's design was truly unfriendly to Magearna; it required the Soul-Heart to be removed from Magearna's body and her consciousness within the Soul-Heart to be erased before the Sky Fortress could be truly activated.

If that were truly the case, such a fortress would be useless to Aoki.

"Then, what does milord mean...?" Jarvis asked cautiously.

Aoki glanced at him lightly, "Figure out how to operate this Sky Fortress and activate it without harming Magearna!

Of course, Magearna's Soul-Heart can serve as the energy core, but it must be under the condition that Magearna herself will not be harmed.

Can you do it?!"

Upon hearing this, Jarvis almost knelt down.

Brother, you ask me if I can do it in that tone, dare I say no? I probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow, would I?

"...Yes... I think so," Jarvis stammered.

"Hmm?" Aoki's eyes narrowed.

"Yes! Definitely yes! Absolutely yes!" Jarvis's face straightened, and he nodded repeatedly, looking as if he were the only one capable of the task.

Aoki nodded in satisfaction.

After Jarvis finished speaking, he stood rooted to the spot, lost in thought.

Seeing his demeanor, Aoki didn't interrupt him. It seemed Jarvis might have come up with some good ideas or concepts.

This time, Aoki wasn't mistaken. Stimulated by Aoki and threatened with his life, Jarvis's potential was immediately unleashed.

So, it's true that if a person doesn't face death once, they truly don't know what potential is!

"I've got it!" Jarvis's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to his workbench, ignoring Aoki. He began scribbling and drawing in his notebook, filling it with complex and incomprehensible mechanical principles.

Aoki smiled, not angry. As long as a person could demonstrate their talent, Aoki didn't mind their attitude towards him.

In that instant, he somewhat understood Sakaki's thoughts.

Indeed, when a person's strength or influence is powerful enough, they no longer nitpick over minor matters.

"It seems I'll need to stay here for a while. There's nothing much else to do, so I can tinker with some things," Aoki said, slowly walking out of the room with Magearna.

Actually, if Aoki wanted to, he could integrate the data on mysterious science into his chip and, through the chip's powerful computing and analysis capabilities, still have a chance to thoroughly understand this mysterious science. But Aoki didn't want to do that.

After all, if he had to do everything himself, even with the chip's assistance, Aoki alone would be overwhelmed.

He'd rather spend this time researching how to improve the aptitude and strength of Pokémon.

As he reached the door, two Team Flare members immediately led Aoki to the room Jarvis had specially prepared for him.

It was less a room and more a small house, with an independent garden and many servants, all hand-picked by Jarvis.

Jarvis dared not relax at all regarding Aoki's arrival; everything was arranged with the highest standards.

However, Aoki was clearly unaccustomed to having so many extraneous people serving him in his daily life, so he dismissed everyone immediately upon entering.

He was quite satisfied with the independent garden, though, as he could train his Pokémon there with peace of mind.

Upon seeing the flowerbeds in the spacious garden, Magearna's eyes lit up, and she rushed into them.

Pokémon: Magearna (Light Purple)

Gender: Genderless

Level: 82

Type: Steel/Fairy

Ability: Soul-Heart (First Awakening)

Held Item: Soul-Heart

Egg Moves: None

Base Moves: Trick Room, Gear Up, Shift Gear, Iron Head, Helping Hand, Supersonic, Defense Curl, Flash Cannon, Lucky Chant, Aurora Beam, Mirror Shot, Mind's Eye, Flash Cannon, Fleur Cannon, Iron Defense, Pain Split, Synchronoise, Aura Sphere

Tutor Moves: Magnet Rise, Present, Pain Split, Shock Wave, Heal Bell, After You, Iron Defense, Zen Headbutt

TMs: Protect, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Double Team, Energy Ball, Secret Power

Looking at Magearna's data, Aoki had some conjectures about how to help her become a true Legendary Pokémon, but he needed to conduct some experiments first to see if it was possible.

Several Poké Balls appeared in his hand, and he threw them out, summoning all his Pokémon.

Diancie's reaction was almost identical to Magearna's; she couldn't take her eyes off the flowerbeds.

These two Pokémon, one Steel/Fairy and the other Rock/Fairy, both had the potential to become Legendary Pokémon, making them like sister flowers.

Under Aoki's training, Diancie's strength also increased at a good pace. Although there was some disparity due to Magearna awakening her Aura, Diancie's rate of strength increase was much faster than Magearna's.

So, at present, she wasn't too far behind.

Pokémon: Diancie (Light Purple)

Gender: Genderless

Level: 81

Type: Rock/Fairy

Ability: Clear Body

Held Item: None

Egg Moves: None

TMs: Psyshock, Calm Mind, Light Screen, Protect, Sandstorm, Rock Tomb, Rock Polish, Stone Edge, Gyro Ball, Substitute, Secret Power

In any case, both of these Pokémon had already reached Champion-level, and they possessed extraordinary potential.

Light purple aptitude not only represented the upper limit of their growth but also their learning ability, their mastery of new knowledge and skills, and their understanding of battle or other aspects.

These were all benefits brought by high aptitude.

This clearly showed how important a Pokémon's aptitude truly was.

Therefore, Aoki planned to use this free time to thoroughly work on the method for improving the aptitude of Steel-type Pokémon, given to him by Mr. Steven Stone, and enhance the aptitude of Aggron and Lucario.

If possible, it would be best to also improve Magearna's aptitude, as Magearna was also a Steel-type Pokémon.

However, Aoki felt that since Magearna's aptitude had already reached light purple, improving her aptitude wouldn't be achieved overnight.

Aggron and Lucario had a higher chance.

But improving aptitude, even with the Stone family's method, would undoubtedly require many materials and resources.

Fortunately, currently in the Azoth Kingdom, both Team Flare and Jarvis could send him many good things. If that wasn't enough, he could also have the Sky Team from the Hoenn region or Team Rocket from the Kanto region package and send them to him; it wouldn't take much time to fly anyway.

With these thoughts, Aoki temporarily settled down in the Azoth Kingdom.
