When Drake and Adams first encountered Kyogre and Groudon today, although their strength was still formidable, to be honest, Drake and Adams were somewhat disappointed with these Legendary Pokémon.
They were strong, but not as strong as they had imagined.
However, after witnessing the two Pokémon in their complete forms later, Drake and Adams finally realized the gap between themselves and top-tier Legendary Pokémon.
They could resist for a period, or perhaps contend slightly, but if the battle lasted a little longer, they wouldn't be able to hold on.
Therefore, Adams, as the League Champion, was somewhat concerned about what the League would do if these two Pokémon reappeared and entered a berserk state.
Unexpectedly, Rayquaza ultimately provided an item that could summon him. Although it could only be used when Kyogre and Groudon appeared, for the League, it was enough; it was a form of assurance.
Today, witnessing Rayquaza single-handedly suppress and subdue the two Pokémon, Drake and Adams, and indeed the entire world, gained a new understanding of the three ancient Legendary Pokémon: Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Groudon.
Legendary Pokémon, especially first-tier ones, in a sense, represent a certain power of nature. When they become angry and enraged, natural disasters occur, and ordinary people are generally unable to contend with the power of natural disasters or nature itself.
Rayquaza should have its own duty to prevent Kyogre and Groudon from arbitrarily using such disaster-level powers; otherwise, the entire Pokémon world would fall into complete chaos.
Suddenly, Aoki recalled the scene when Arceus handed the Azure Flute to Rayquaza.
Could this be the reason Arceus was willing to give the Azure Flute to Rayquaza? Could this also be the reason Rayquaza so diligently suppressed Kyogre and Groudon?
For a moment, Aoki seemed to perceive something deeper.
However, the media and ordinary trainers gradually approaching him brought Aoki back to reality. He handed the green orb in his hand to Adams and said, "Champion, it's better if you keep this item. It won't be of much use in my hands."
Adams was stunned for a moment looking at the emerald green orb Aoki handed over, but he quickly reacted and smilingly put the orb away.
The surrounding cameras and camcorders recorded this scene.
This item was a hot potato. Even with Aoki's current status as an Elite Four member, it was best not to touch it.
Everyone had witnessed Rayquaza's strength today, and there were many ambitious people among them. When they learned that the small orb in Aoki's hand could summon Rayquaza, Aoki would truly have no peaceful days.
It wasn't that he feared their strength, but even too many flies could be annoying.
More importantly, it was useless!
This small orb was truly useless for summoning Rayquaza. If Rayquaza felt he was tricked into coming for nothing, the first one to be annihilated would probably be the person who summoned him. It wasn't like summoning him meant he would help the summoner fight monsters, so Aoki decisively handed this hot potato to Adams, once and for all, saving himself trouble.
Adams also understood this point, which is why he accepted it with a smile.
As the League Champion, he didn't have these worries or concerns.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing the setting sun and the sea surface, which was illuminated fiery red by the sun.
And at this moment, an island, a mixture of scorched black land and glaciers, appeared out of nowhere on the sea surface.
According to the current situation, it is estimated that many people will want to come here in the future to see the remnants left after the legendary battle between Kyogre and Groudon.
Icefire Island! (Definitely not Punk Hazard!)
Another tourist attraction. It seems the League will likely gain another source of income.
However, these matters were no longer related to Aoki. He, Drake, and Adams boarded a military helicopter and left the area, not giving the journalists a chance to interview them.
But tomorrow, all news and all online headlines will undoubtedly be about the "Kyogre vs. Groudon, Earth-Shattering Battle," and so on.
After this battle ended, the entire League breathed a sigh of relief.
The Hoenn League's major headaches, Team Magma and Team Aqua, were finally finished, and ambitious forces like the Hunter Guild were also driven out.
For a time, the Hoenn region actually transformed from the most chaotic region into the most peaceful one.
Currently, there are no notable underground forces left in the Hoenn region. Among them, Team Sky, which could independently dominate Mauville City, was already considered one of the top forces in the Hoenn region.
From this, one could feel how clean the Hoenn region's underground forces had become due to the disappearance of Team Magma and Team Aqua.
Aoki could also take advantage of this time, according to Adams' assigned tasks, to thoroughly sort out the underground forces in the Hoenn region. Those that could be controlled would be controlled, and those that could not would be directly eradicated.
However, these matters could not be decided by Aoki alone. After all, they were of great importance, so Aoki needed to report to Adams after selecting targets and obtain his approval before proceeding.
As for completely eliminating all underground forces in the Hoenn region, that was out of the question.
"Water too clear has no fish."
This was simply impossible to achieve.
Instead of unpredictable changes, it's better to control them first. As long as they are controlled well enough, it can, to a certain extent, reduce the overall crime rate in the region, just like Mauville City now. Wattson no longer bothers with the affairs of Mauville City; he just spends his days planting flowers and watering them, living a very leisurely life.
However, these were all future matters and plans. At this moment, Aoki and Drake arrived at Adams's residence.
Adams lived in a villa behind the Hoenn League headquarters.
The excuse was for better work, but when Aoki and Drake saw the facilities and area of the villa, they both agreed that Adams was using public resources for private gain.
The wicked privileged class!
So... Aoki and Drake immediately applied for a villa each, right next to Adams's.
They couldn't help but sigh...
Privilege is truly wonderful.
On the lawn in Adams's backyard.
A day had passed since the great battle between Kyogre and Groudon ended.
Aoki was currently squatting on the grass, examining a Pokémon.
Latios!
"Aoki, how is it?" Adams couldn't help but ask when he saw Aoki stand up.
At this moment, he was no longer the powerful and decisive League Champion, but merely a trainer worried about his Pokémon.
Aoki pondered for a while, looking at the report after the system scan finished. "It's not entirely impossible."
