He appeared in front of Aoki with a group of Vigoroth and a group of Slaking.

The Vigoroth in the lead was clearly the strongest.

Even with the naked eye, one could see that his physical fitness was excellent.

Perhaps it was because he had almost unlimited energy and he vented it very purposefully, so his body was extremely well-developed and maintained.

The bulging muscles on his body were covered by white fur, but they could not be concealed at all.

This Vigoroth was very powerful!

When Tyranitar and the others saw it for the first time, their overall mental state was different.

There was some excitement, as if they had seen a formidable opponent.

A Vigoroth that had forcibly restrained its instinctive evolution and raised its level to 61.

This kind of self-suppression and perseverance could be said to be the best among all the Pokemon Aoki had ever seen.

You must know, this Vigoroth wasn't holding an Everstone.

This meant that every time his level increased and his strength improved, the impulse to evolve would come to him.

If he wanted to stop himself from evolving, he could only rely on his own willpower to madly suppress his desire for evolution.

Not every Pokemon could do this.

Refusing to evolve was like suppressing your desires when you were about to reach climax.

Maybe a Pokémon would be able to do it once or twice, such as Ash's Bulbasaur.

But this Vigoroth had reached level 61, which meant it had been suppressed dozens of times.

What perseverance!

While training himself madly to improve his strength, he also had to suppress his instinctive evolution after his strength had improved.

This Vigoroth's obsession with strength was unique among wild Pokémon Aoki had encountered.

No wonder he could become the leader of this tribe of Slakoth and Slaking.

The change brought about by the crazy suppression and training was that the body of this Vigoroth looked stronger and more formidable than those Slaking beside him.

The Vital Spirit characteristic combined with the nature of the Pokemon itself made it almost a perpetual motion machine.

Aoki had once had some ideas about Pokemon like Slakoth.

After all, when it finally evolves into Slaking, its base stat total reaches 670 points.

What a concept.

Was Tyranitar strong enough?

As a pseudo-legendary Pokemon, if one excluded legendary beasts, it was definitely among the best of all Pokemon.

But Tyranitar's base stat total was only 600 points.

The base stat total of all pseudo-legendary Pokemon is only 600 points.

However, Slaking had a base stat total of 670 points, which was 70 points higher than that of the pseudo-legendaries. To a certain extent, Slaking's base stat total was even higher than that of some ordinary legendary beasts.

Of course, the strength of a legendary beast could not be determined solely by its base stat total.

However, this also illustrated the special nature of Slaking.

The fatal flaw, however, was its Truant ability. It was precisely because of this crippling ability that Slaking could not exert its full strength consistently.

Just like its name, the Truant ability forced the Pokemon to loaf around every other turn after using a move.

It was like suddenly asking for leave while in the middle of work.

In short, if a Slaking could truly get rid of the influence of its Truant ability, then it would be an existence more powerful and terrifying than pseudo-legendary Pokemon.

This Vigoroth likely knew what it would become after evolution, so it restrained itself, preferring to avoid the qualitative changes in its body after evolution in order to ensure its own constant combat capability.

Perhaps only in this way could it protect its tribe at all times.

It was also because of this that the Slakoth and Slaking could live so comfortably in this forest.

Aoki looked at the serious-looking Vigoroth and suddenly felt a strong interest in him.

He didn't know what was so special about this Vigoroth.

"Tyranitar, do you want to try fighting him?" Aoki said with a smile.

As a Trainer who primarily provided strategic commands, it was perfectly natural for him to direct his Pokémon in battle.

However, the level of this Vigoroth had reached 61, a King-level existence.

Tyranitar's level was only 58, which seemed to be only a three-level difference, but there was actually a significant gap in power and experience.

But Tyranitar showed no sign of fear.

When he heard Aoki calling his name, he took a heavy step forward, his immense weight causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Grahhh--!

Tyranitar roared at the Vigoroth with immense, intimidating momentum.

Aggron felt a pang of competitive sadness when he saw Tyranitar step forward.

What should he do if he also wanted to fight such a powerful opponent?

Aoki saw Aggron's expression and smiled.

In fact, it wasn't just Aggron, but also Blaziken and Swampert.

Why were there so few passive elves on his team?

When they saw a strong opponent, they always wanted to rush to the front.

"Don't worry, we will probably stay here for a long time. When the time comes, you will all have your fights. Don't be afraid then," Aoki said to them.

Hearing this, the three Pokemon's expressions relaxed, replaced by a simmering excitement.

They would fight when it was their turn. As for being afraid, they had never known the feeling.

Tyranitar's roar was considered a provocation to the Vigoroth.

A Slaking walked out from behind the Vigoroth, its normally lazy eyes sharpening as it moved to accept Tyranitar's challenge.

But the Vigoroth reached out a powerful arm and stopped him.

Years of combat experience and instinct told him that the big guy on the opposite side was very strong!

All of the opponent's Pokemon were very powerful!

This required caution and careful handling.

It was truly rare to see a Vigoroth who could command a Slaking at will.

The strength of this Slaking was also not weak, level 59, a peak pseudo-King.

But it obeyed the Vigoroth's command without the slightest intention of violation.

The interest in Aoki's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

This group was really interesting.

"In that case, Tyranitar, let us take the initiative to attack." Aoki said.

Grah!

Tyranitar nodded, its gaze locked onto the Vigoroth.

"Rock Polish!" Aoki ordered.

Tyranitar's eyes glowed slightly when he heard the order, and a shimmering light emanated from the green armor plates on his body, smoothing and polishing them to reduce drag and increase his speed.

The Rock Polish move could sharply increase the user's Speed stat.

"Let's show them our strength first. Stone Edge!"

The preparation phase was over, and now the battle began!
