Aoki's appearance brought a sense of joy to both teams, like seeing a rainbow after the rain.
"Florges, Grass type! Grassy Terrain, heal them," Aoki said to Florges.
He nodded in approval to the two captains.
Being able to withstand the attacks of two Elite Four level trainers for five minutes, even while being ambushed, truly made them League Elites, deserving of the title!
Upon seeing Aoki's arrival, and with the Grassy Terrain appearing on the ground, the three team members, who were still awake but exhausted, collapsed to the ground.
After receiving treatment from Lady Florges, some of the more noticeable injuries on their bodies were healing rapidly.
"Recall all your Pokemon back. Lady Florges will give them emergency treatment," Aoki said, slowly walking up to them.
The two captains also looked somewhat excited.
One of the captains said, "Lord Aoki, there are too many of them. Let us help you."
They didn't find it difficult to accept being addressed as "lord" by someone who was clearly much younger than them.
On the contrary, it sounded very pleasant.
With Aoki's appearance, they were pretty much safe today.
Hearing his words, Aoki shook his head.
He glanced at their injuries, and at the Pokemon who were also suffering from various wounds.
"Now! Immediately! Take your Pokemon to receive treatment. I'm taking over here. That's an order!" Aoki's expression was serious, and his words were very firm.
But those two captains just liked that way of giving orders.
Ignoring their injuries, they immediately stood at attention, saluted, and shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!"
So the two of them, directing their Pokemon, limped and helped each other to sit down on the Grassy Terrain.
The increase in the number of Pokemon did not pose much of a challenge for Lady Florges; with a wave of her hands, the green, crystalline energy on the Grassy Terrain appeared even faster.
It seeped into the wounds of the trainer and the Pokemon, quickly helping them recover.
Aoki's appearance made the members of Team Magma and Team Aqua hesitant to make any rash moves.
Because Tyranitar and his crew were watching them intently.
If they dared to make any move, Tyranitar and his crew would definitely launch an attack.
After calming the group down, Aoki came to the Pokemon's side.
Looking not far away, there were eight members from Team Magma and Team Aqua.
Two squads.
Or were they joining forces?
"You're Aoki?!" exclaimed McCree, the captain of Team Magma.
Aoki raised an eyebrow. "What? You guys still recognize me?"
Upon hearing Aoki admit his identity, the members of both Team Magma and Team Aqua lost their initial wariness and turned into frenzied greed.
Captain Kevin of Team Aqua stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his slightly dry lips, grinning as he said, "It really is you. Your head is worth quite a bit."
The return of the operatives last time explained the role Aoki played in it, and in addition, the League had been promoting that the Hoenn leaders, Maxie and Archie, had not underestimated him.
Furthermore, a bounty was offered, promising a huge reward to anyone who could take Aoki's head.
Such a reward would be tempting even to elite trainers like McCree and Kevin.
Upon hearing this, Aoki laughed and pointed to his head, saying, "My head is here. If you're so capable, come and take it."
After saying that, his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, instantly turning cold.
Even with two Elite Four level trainers and six trainers between Elite Four and Pokemon League level on the other side, it didn't have much of an impact on Aoki.
Two people who weren't even officially considered superstars.
Earthen chickens and clay dogs.
"Tyranitar, Sandstorm!"
Aoki said to Tyranitar.
Upon hearing this, Tyranitar, which had been suppressing its abilities, immediately released its control.
This was underground, and everywhere was rubble and soil.
Under Tyranitar's control, sand burst forth from the cracks in the rubble and from the soil.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the yellow sand filled the entire tunnel, except for the area behind where Lady Florges was, which was avoided.
Aggron and Swampert were also unaffected by the sand.
The armor on Drapion's body was extremely hard, and even when yellow sand swept over it, it did not cause it much harm.
Flames erupted from Blaziken's body, enveloping it in a layer of golden flames. Before the sand even got close, it had already been roasted by the flames, so that when it struck the sand, it would cause little damage.
Under Tyranitar's active control, the Sandstorm grew larger and larger, making it almost impossible for several Team Magma and Team Aqua members to see Aoki in the distance. They could only make out a few blurry figures.
The two captains' Pokemon were alright; although the sand hurt a lot, they were still able to endure it. However, the other team members didn't have that ability.
For them, Tyranitar's Sandstorm was like a great wave washing away the weak and leaving only the strong.
The original numerical advantage vanished in an instant.
Aoki's eyes emitted a faint blue halo, and his psychic powers of perception and Telepathy were activated simultaneously.
The Sandstorm had no effect on him.
Commanding operations using Telepathy.
After the Sandstorm fully intensified, Tyranitar and Gengar rushed into the sand together.
Thump—thump—
The loud footsteps were accompanied by the sounds of fists colliding with bones.
In this environment, Tyranitar and Gengar were on their home turf.
Under Aoki's command, the two Pokemon's fists condensed different energy fluctuations.
They targeted the weaker Pokemon first.
Almost all of them were one-punch knockouts, without exception; very few Pokemon could withstand a single punch from Tyranitar and his companions.
The same applied to Swampert and Blaziken.
With their current strength, the opponent was not even in the same league.
Drapion burrowed underground and attacked the Pokemon from below.
It was a completely one-sided battle.
"Gather together! Gather together! Don't let us be picked off one by one! Pfft—Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!" McCley shouted loudly as he came to his senses.
His mouth had barely opened for a moment when it was filled with a large amount of yellow sand.
The bewildered members of Team Magma and Team Aqua all moved closer to the two captains.
Upon getting closer, they discovered that of the eight people and nearly fifty Pokemon, more than half had been lost!
Apart from the two captains whose Pokemon were still intact, the Pokemon of the others had been mostly defeated.
McCley and Kevin looked extremely grim.
Wasn't it said that Aoki's strength wasn't that great, at most he was only at the initial stage of the Elite Four level?
Wasn't he supposed to be a Breeder, not a strong fighter?
That was bullshit!
McCley and Kevin's minds raced as they tried to figure out how to retaliate.
