After Aoki finished explaining the matters concerning Team Sky, he directly headed to his unnamed island in the sea.
Now, Aoki truly felt light-hearted and carefree. He could spend quality time with his Pokémon and train them properly.
After the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, Aoki realized that his strength was still somewhat insufficient.
Even though he had now become one of the Elite Four of the Hoenn region, ensuring a basic level of personal safety, and had become the most sought-after person in the Hoenn region due to the incident of being filmed during his battle with Kyogre, there was still a lack in his strength.
Whether it was Drake or Adams, these veteran Alliance trainers possessed truly terrifying strength.
Most importantly, Aoki could never fully relax because he didn't know how many more trainers of such formidable strength existed. This was the reason why Aoki's heart could never be completely at ease.
Although these were all hypothetical enemies for Aoki, he had to be wary of them. After all, from the most fundamental perspective, he was a member of Team Rocket.
His origin was not something he could choose.
Upon arriving at the island, Aoki had his own plans.
To be honest, this island was indeed a bit small for Aoki now.
Under Aoki's cultivation, the Pokémon on the island had almost no natural predators and could grow and recuperate in peace. Even a small group of only a few Pokémon could quickly grow in scale, not to mention that there were quite a few large groups on the island.
The largest of these was the Bulbasaur group that Aoki brought back from Ho-Oh's space. They were also the strongest and most numerous group on the island.
Because of their existence, the island would periodically produce some Miracle Seeds of varying quality and considerable value.
The second largest group was the Gogoat and Skiddo population, who consistently provided Aoki with high-quality goat milk. Aoki had completely given up cow milk and now drank goat milk every day.
Then there were the Clamperl and Qwilfish living in the artificial pond. Because Aoki invested a large amount of food, their growth and reproduction rates were very fast. If possible, it would be best to expand the breeding area.
Besides these, there were many other Pokémon on the island.
It was a quiet and peaceful world completely hidden from the eyes of the world, and with Kommo-o guarding it, it could be said that the safety level here might rank among the top three of all breeding grounds in the Pokémon world.
However, besides these Pokémon, Aomori also wanted to move the Carbink Kingdom from Reflection Cave, but the prerequisite was to have enough space.
Aoki already had a preliminary plan on how to expand the island, but before expanding the island, there were many things that needed to be dealt with regarding the Pokémon.
The first and most important thing for Aoki was to let Tyranitar absorb the Groudon energy crystal he snatched from Maxie.
After the battle between Kyogre and Groudon that day, and the changes in Groudon after Kyogre swallowed the energy crystal, Aoki understood the true purpose of this crystal.
Originally, it was just a guess, and he couldn't be sure if it was true, so he had never dared to use it on Tyranitar, but now he was relieved.
He released all his Pokémon, allowing them to move freely here without worrying about being discovered by others.
Then he called Tyranitar aside.
Tyranitar's current level has reached 71. Further strength improvement can only be accumulated slowly, and a qualitative change in a short period is unlikely.
However, if Aoki's guesses and calculations were correct, this Primal Groudon energy crystal might be able to change this situation.
"Tyranitar, I know you should be able to sense the energy within this energy crystal now. It's the same origin as the energy you absorbed when you were young. It's precisely because of this energy that you were able to learn the move Precipice Blades.
Now you also have enough strength, so I hope you can make good use of this energy crystal. I don't ask for much improvement in your strength.
Just try to comprehend it well, absorb it little by little, and slowly integrate it into yourself. Once any abnormality is found, I will stop it immediately."
Aoki explained to Tyranitar little by little. After all, this was Groudon's energy. Even if Tyranitar was very familiar with it, he couldn't absorb it recklessly.
Tyranitar nodded firmly. He knew how much Aoki had paid and how many resources he had consumed to make him stronger.
He took the energy crystal from Aoki's hands with both hands and sat down on the ground with a thud.
The surrounding ground vibrated slightly.
Tyranitar held the fiery red energy crystal in both hands and slowly used his unique internal energy to draw upon the energy within this crystal.
Aoki's psychic abilities and the system were closely monitoring Tyranitar's changes. As soon as a slight abnormality appeared, they would immediately stop.
For safety, controlling the speed of energy absorption was also crucial.
The first wisp of energy successfully entered Tyranitar's body along his arm. After being assimilated, it was directly absorbed without any changes or side effects.
So Aoki let Tyranitar maintain this absorption speed for now. Once he was completely familiar and accustomed to it, he could slowly increase the speed.
Aoki had only one requirement: all energy entering the body must be completely digested and absorbed, ensuring no side effects before continuing to absorb.
The initial speed might be a bit slow, but it would definitely get faster and faster later, and it was also for safety.
Just like Blaziken and Honchkrow absorbing the energy from Ho-Oh's Sacred Ash.
After staying by Tyranitar's side for another hour to ensure that no abnormalities would occur, Aoki left to arrange for the other Pokémon.
Next was Salamence, who had just evolved recently.
Salamence's potential was undeniable, absolutely on par with Tyranitar. Although there was some disparity in strength between the two Pokémon currently, in Aoki's plan, Salamence would be an indispensable Pokémon for him in the future.
However, Aoki didn't need to worry too much about Salamence. He was very self-motivated, and with Kommo-o's careful guidance, Salamence could learn a lot, both in Dragon-type moves and in sound-based moves.
Coupled with the training methods and plans for Salamence that Aoki obtained from Drake, and combining them with the abilities and strength Aoki hoped Mega Salamence would display after Mega Evolution, a complete new training plan and scheme emerged.
Compared to Drake's plan and methods, Aoki's improved methods couldn't be said to be superior, but they were definitely more suitable for Mega Salamence's training.
Aoki hoped that after Mega Evolution, Salamence would become the strongest area-of-effect damage dealer in the entire team, making him suitable for full-team battles or large-scale campaigns.
