Aoki seems to have detected his intention.
It was only then that Koga realized that, in terms of pure strength, Aoki was already stronger than him.
Just as Aoki was somewhat wary of Koga's ability to assassinate in the wild, Koga was also wary of Aoki's formidable strength.
He knew that among Aoki's Pokémon, the strongest were Slowking, Tyranitar, and Gengar. But so far, none of these three Pokémon had appeared, which was already making it difficult for him to cope. If all three Pokémon appeared at once, he would really be unable to handle it.
Even though Koga knows that his greatest strengths are in field combat and assassination, Aoki is no pushover either. As a Psychic, it would be almost impossible for him to get close to Aoki silently.
So Koga quickly suppressed his unease. Right now, he couldn't afford to offend Aoki, and if there was any problem, it would be best to resolve it in the wild.
Once Koga suppressed his murderous intent, Aggron's self-destructive Stone Edge attack also ended.
Aggron was holding an Ariados that had completely lost its fighting ability, and he threw it directly in front of Koga.
The stadium fell silent for a moment upon seeing this, but after that silence, an even more exaggerated clamor erupted.
Whoosh!!!
The spectators watching the match were clearly seeing this kind of fighting style for the first time, and also seeing Agggron with such strong defensive capabilities for the first time.
Most people assumed that Aoki had chosen a suicidal fighting style, but unexpectedly, only Ariados lost its fighting ability, while Aoki's Aggron seemed to have no major problems except that its metallic luster had dimmed slightly.
"Wow... such terrifying defense! Steven, Aoki's Aggeron's defense is even stronger than yours, right?" Furong stared wide-eyed at the giant Aggeron that seemed to have descended from the heavens onto the field.
Steven's face showed a wry smile. "You might not believe it, but I was the one who took Aoki to my house to choose this Aggron. After all, it's a steel-type from our Stone Family." Pokémon is famous far and wide.
"My Aggron, in the eyes of my dad and uncles, is already quite well-trained. Whether in terms of attack power, defense, or even speed, it's among the best of the Aggrons. You have to understand, it grew up eating rare minerals. I can hardly imagine how many resources Aoki has spent to raise his Aggron to this level."
"Even those who grow up eating rare minerals don't have such defensive capabilities. Could Aoki's Aggron have grown up eating diamonds?" Wallace said thoughtfully from the side.
He is the Trainer of Water-type Pokémon. Although Aoki's Aggron has terrifying defensive capabilities, it is not without its own weaknesses.
It's just a pity about Koga, the steel-type. Pokémon is immune to Poison-type moves, and the Gengar, which is good at Special Attack, was defeated by Blaziken. If there isn't a Pokémon that is good at Special Attack, then the only way to defeat this Aggron is through sheer strength.
However, this would be tantamount to prematurely announcing their defeat. Knowing that Koga's ace Pokémon is a powerful Pokémon, Aoki would surely have a way to defeat it.
However, if Aoki's Aggron isn't dealt with, the later stages will be very difficult.
Koga retrieved the Poké Ball from the lying Ariados. His mistake this time was underestimating Aggron's defensive capabilities and Aoki's determination to defeat his Ariados, thus failing to force Aoki to use Swords Dance. Baton Pass needs to be connected; otherwise, the Pokémon summoned later might be much easier to defeat.
One wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps, gradually putting you at a disadvantage.
This demonstrates the importance of intelligence in Trainer battles at Aoki's level.
In many cases, if two Trainers of similar or equal strength are fighting, and one side knows information about the other, then the battle will be very disadvantageous to the other side.
Aoki only knew Koga's data from Pokémon.
By accumulating small advantages little by little, Koga slowly eroded them. Even when Koga held back once, he was still at a disadvantage.
Koga considered his situation briefly. If he wanted to win, the next Pokémon had to quickly defeat two or three of Aoki's Pokémon with a powerful attack to create an opportunity for future maneuvers. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to turn the tide in his current disadvantageous position.
Throw out a Poké Ball, and you get another Pokémon that can fly.
Four wings flapped back and forth in mid-air.
Aoki narrowed her eyes slightly upon seeing the summoned Pokémon.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, they pulled out their trump card: Pokémon!
Koga's Crobat, his strongest Pokémon! Also his ace Pokémon!
While Ariados and Spinarak are the signature Pokémon of the Crimson Gym, Koga's signature Pokémon is Crobat. Not many people may know this, because no one has seen his Crobat in previous battles. Even in the Elite Challenge, Koga did not use this Pokémon in his battle against Lance.
However, Aoki knew this because after Koga proposed the collaboration last time, he deliberately investigated Koga's background and knew that his ace Pokémon was a Crobat!

Crobat, level 83!
As expected of Koga's most valued Pokémon and his ace Pokémon, its blue aptitude and the fact that it has been trained to its current level demonstrate the vast resources Koga has invested in it.
When facing Crobat, Aggron's disadvantages become quite obvious, not only in terms of level but also in terms of speed. Unless Crobat is willing, Aggron may never be able to touch Crobat's body.
" Crobat! Air Slash!" Koga's voice sounded somewhat cold at this moment.
