Just now, when fighting the Beedrills, Aoki didn't let Salamence undergo Mega Evolution. Otherwise, with the explosive power of Mega Salamence combined with Hyper Voice's area-of-effect attack, Salamence could have wiped out the entire Beedrill horde without Lucario and the others even having to lift a finger.
However, this would prevent Lucario and his companions from experiencing such difficult battles, making it harder for them to gain insights from such battles, understand the difficulty of fighting, and better cope with the mindset of knowing they might not be able to win but still having to fight.
Now that they are facing an Ursaring, Lucario and his companions no longer need to fight, especially since they are already quite injured.
When faced with Mega Salamence's full-force attack, Ursaring was naturally unable to stop it. When Mega Salamence unleashed its third Hyper Voice, Ursaring, who had been blasted and tumbled more than once, immediately lay on the ground begging for mercy. His adorable appearance was completely different from his previous aggressive demeanor.
It was only then that Ursaring, whose thinking was a bit slow, realized that the reason why all the ferocious Beedrills had disappeared was because someone had driven them all away!
After this idea was confirmed, Ursaring became even more obedient, put his hands together, and knelt obediently on the ground, with an expression that said, "I'm very obedient, don't lay a hand on me."
Looking at his aggrieved expression, which resembled that of a wronged woman, Aoki felt a change in her mind. This was not how a forest overlord should behave. Aoki's initial desire to deal with him immediately subsided.
It is quite rare to encounter such a "well-behaved" and intelligent Pokémon in the wild. With just a little training and conditioning, it can be used directly.
Of course, Aoki wouldn't use it himself. Instead, he would give it to any subordinate whose strength couldn't keep up with his. Having a Senior Elite Four Level Ursaring as a Pokémon would definitely boost that person's strength rapidly. Moreover, as long as they could command an Ursaring with such strength in battle, their command ability as a Trainer would also improve quickly, and the level and strength requirements of the Pokémon they could command would also be higher.
With that thought in mind, Aoki took out a Poké Ball from her pocket and, under Ursaring's pleading gaze, tossed it to him.
Terrified by Salamence, they dared not put up any resistance and were easily subdued!
Aoki looked through the glass window of the Poké Ball at Ursaring, who seemed a little lost inside. Seeing Ursaring's endearing and goofy appearance after revealing his true personality, Aoki couldn't help but smile slightly.
If there really are so many wild Pokémon here that are simple-minded and easy to tame, please give me a dozen. Whether I tame them to use with my subordinates or sell them for resources, they would be excellent.
Aoki still has two Pokémon that she hasn't sold yet, and she's unsure whether to trade them for resources or keep them to create a potential breeding population.
One of them was a Hydreigon that was snatched back from Agatha. It originally belonged to Black Emissary and was a Champion Level Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon. Although it didn't meet Aoki's requirements, it must be said that as a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, and a fully tamed Champion Level one at that, it is quite remarkable. The value of Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon is difficult to estimate.
It should be no problem at all to acquire the entire assets of a middle-class family.
The difference in value between Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that has been cultured and those that haven't is immeasurable.
Whitney's Miltank family, who once bullied Aoki when she was young, in Goldenrod City in the Johto region, would probably be willing to give up nearly half of their family's assets to exchange for the Hydreigon in Aoki's possession!
Of course, if it were handed over to the alliance, the resources that could be obtained in exchange would be much less. If it were given to Team Rockets, it might also drain all the resources in one of Team Rockets' bases.
There's another Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, the Goodra that I caught on the Nibel Plateau.
It's also a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, but compared to Hydreigon, its value is much lower, and it's a Pokémon that rejects humans, so it would probably be very difficult to find a buyer if you wanted to sell it.
To be honest, Aoki doesn't lack ordinary materials and resources right now; he's now a high-ranking official in the Hoenn Region. Aoki is a Sandstorm Elite Four Member, and if Lance doesn't participate, he can serve as the first elite four member of the Hoenn Region.
At the same time, Aoki also controls Team Sky, the largest underground force in the Hoenn Region. Team Sky's intelligence and trading network covers the entire Hoenn Region. Many large and small families in the Hoenn Region have secret connections with Team Sky, and it has also absorbed nearly half of the forces of Team Aqua, led by Izumi.
Team Sky is now completely intertwined with the Hoenn Region, and it is not so easy to separate them.
Furthermore, with the company she runs with the Zinnia Family selling diamonds and the support of an ever-growing Carbink Kingdom, money is probably just a number to Aoki now.
Status, power, and money!
Aoki has everything he needs now; what he lacks is sufficient strength.
To gain such power, you need extremely precious and scarce resources, which can boost Speed Boost. As Aoki grows, he hopes that if possible, he can exchange the few Pokémon he has for scarce resources.
To sum it up, this Ursaring is of absolutely no use except for serving tea and water or guarding the house!
Fortunately, Ursaring was very sensible; otherwise, he might be lying on the ground groaning in pain right now.
Aoki summoned Ursaring and asked him if he knew the surrounding area, if he knew any special terrain, or if there were any powerful wild Pokémon occupying a place nearby.
Just like when a Beedrill colony occupies a certain area, there will be more precious materials there, including Beedrill honey. If there are also some areas occupied by powerful Pokémon nearby, then there will definitely be some rarer materials there as well.
Upon hearing Aoki's question, Ursaring counted all the Pokémon around him on his fingers, without mentioning any special terrain features.
However, Aoki also gained a general understanding of the environment surrounding this forest.
Aoki would reward Ursaring for collecting honey from the hive if he performed well enough.
After understanding Aoki's meaning, Ursaring happily ran off to collect honey. He couldn't possibly eat that much at once, and he enjoyed not only the honey in the hive but also the process of freely collecting it.
Seeing that she suddenly had a helper by her side, Aoki nodded in satisfaction.
After entrusting the trivial matters to Ursaring, Aoki was able to focus on her own affairs.
For example, Darkrai's recovery potion!
