It was precisely because it was in the outermost area that Aoki dared to let Venusaur use the Sweet Scent skill. If they were in the deepest part of the area, even with Aoki's strength, he wouldn't dare to be so blatant.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to courting death, as there are quite a few Champion-level veterans deep inside.
Aoki was unwilling to actively harass these guys.
The interior of Mt. Silver actually refers to a vast, continuous mountain range. Due to its terrain, it is difficult to reach from other places. Even in the air above, there are some powerful wild Pokémon, including many Elite Four Level and Champion Level Pokémon. Therefore, ordinary people do not dare to fly over the interior of Mt. Silver.
The Mt. Silver, where the alliance is located, is actually the highest and most imposing of all the mountains.
This is arguably the only relatively safe entrance inside Mt. Silver, and with years of suppression by the Alliance, the wild Pokémon inside Mt. Silver won't come near here.
Venusaur's Sweet Scent had a very noticeable effect; in no time, wild Pokémon were lying all around Aoki and his friends.
These are wild Pokémon attracted by the fragrance of Venusaur flowers.
It is possible to discover that these wild Pokémon are far superior to those found outside the area in terms of both strength and potential.
It's practically a huge treasure trove, the Pokémon reserve center of the League. With such a place existing, as long as the League controls their advance, even if there are a lot of personnel losses, they can quickly produce a large group of so-called genius Trainers again by utilizing the Pokémon and material resources here.
This is one of the reasons why the League has been able to manage and rule the Pokémon World for so many years.
One can imagine just how difficult it would be to overthrow this seemingly corrupt organization, as Giovanni put it.
This also gives us an idea of just how powerful Giovanni must be to be able to compete with an alliance of this strength.
It's no wonder Giovanni supported an organization like the Hunters Guild; otherwise, Team Rocket's ability to collect Pokémon would be no match for such an alliance.
However, the Hunters Guild has been a bit restless lately, and Giovanni must have given them a warning.
With many thoughts swirling in his mind, and as his strength increased and his understanding of the entire Pokémon World grew, Aoki felt increasingly insignificant.
This is because he is struggling to jump out of the chessboard. Originally, he viewed the world from the perspective of a chess piece, and his goal was to become the strongest piece so that the chess player would not abandon him so easily, thus demonstrating his own value.
But now he is slowly transitioning from a chess piece to a chess player, so his perspective on the entire chessboard is different, and the things he needs to consider are also different.
With slightly mixed feelings, I ended my day's journey.
This day was an unprecedentedly exhilarating battle for the Pokémon.
Unlike Honchkrow and his generation, they have been by Aoki's side since he was at his weakest, fighting in all kinds of battles from beginning to end. They are arguably the most experienced generation in terms of combat experience and are also the teachers of many of Aoki's Pokémon.
Unlike Tyranitar and his generation, although they did not participate in battles from the beginning, Aoki's strength was not very strong at that time, and he deliberately trained them, so their combat experience was also rich. After catching up with the strength of the top-tier Pokémon, they gradually became Aoki's main combat force.
Before this, their group had not had many battles to engage in.
Although they are not weak and have excellent combat skills because they have many older brothers to teach them, they have never used their skills in actual combat, which makes them different.
But today, it was the first time they had ever fought so enjoyably, and they finally understood why, when they were being taught and asked questions, the instructor would say, "When you actually use this skill in battle, you'll understand that this method has the highest success rate and hit rate."
Today! We've incorporated knowledge from various theories into our battle.
This level of intensity in the fighting should be able to continue for another two to three days, because at their current pace of advance, they should still be on the outskirts for two or three days.
Two or three days later, the strength of the wild Pokémon around them might not allow them to fight like this, at least not Lucario and Venusaur.
Aoki's destination is deep within Mt. Silver, where Champion-level Pokémon may exist. This is why Ryūgō Tsuyoshi refused to go in after learning that Aoki wanted to enter. In such an area, although Pokémon no longer appear in groups, any Pokémon that appears may have extremely strong abilities.
The level of danger is very high.
The material that Aoki is looking for is Ghost-type material. Deep inside, in a place overrun with Ghost-type Pokémon, lies a dangerous zone designated by the League.
But this is an essential catalyst, and it is only known to be produced here.
The other materials are also very precious, but at least they are produced in many places and may be available on the market. As long as Aoki gets the Alliance or Team Sky to pay attention, they can still be collected. The only one that cannot be collected is this.
If Aoki had known the potion wouldn't work on Darkrai, that would have been one thing, but since he knew it could help Hand... Once Darkrai regains his strength, Aoki will definitely have to come in.
However, he can control his pace and treat this material-finding journey as a training exercise.
Just as Granny Kui said, with Aoki's current strength, how many places can he feel pressure to train?
If there is no pressure, how fast will the improvement be with this kind of exercise?
The reason Aoki was able to achieve such strength in just two years is partly due to prior knowledge of many things, and partly due to having the system. Helping hands is another reason. Of course, always seeking out suitable training grounds based on one's own actual situation is also a very important reason.
Hovering on the edge of danger can greatly accelerate the rate of skill improvement, which is why Team Rockets... The reason for the existence of Trial Island.
We found a place with running water, opened up the Alternate Dimension, and moved in.
This is the advantage of surviving in the wild now: you don't have to worry about where to stay at night, or about wild Pokémon attacking you while you're resting.
After all, the forest at night is much more dangerous than the forest during the day.
There's still a long road ahead, so I need to make sure I get enough sleep at night so I can fight and train better during the day!
