Shiba, one of the Elite Four, often engages in close combat with his Elite Four Pokémon.
In fact, even without using moves, the Fighting-type Elite Four Pokémon are far stronger than their Kingler; they only needed a "light punch."
That's enough to kill someone on the spot.
Therefore, Aizen had to use a different algorithm to conduct a test.
He attacked his Machamp with all his might, causing Machamp to feel a certain degree of pain. Later, he had other Pokémon attack Machamp one by one to test it, and the final result was that the pain was roughly equivalent to that caused by the impact of a level 1 Golem.
Later, he tested the impact force of the golem and found it to be 1 ton! This result surprised Aizen slightly, but also made him realize something.
Indeed, immortality does not exist in this world.
In reality, the average physical strength of people in the Pokémon world is even more terrifying than that in the One Piece world, but the upper limit is not particularly high. 12 tons of strength sounds terrifying, but in reality it is only thirty or forty times that of an average strongman.
In the world of One Piece, superhumans with a power level exceeding 500 are at least 50 times stronger than Marine soldiers, and the average physical fitness of people in the One Piece world is far superior to that in the ordinary world.
In reality, anyone in the One Piece world who can be called a "superman"...
Yes, at the very least, it must exceed the strongest human physical abilities in the world by several times.
Giovanni's high ranking is likely due to the added advantage of Aizen's skills and his own Tokiwa power.
Therefore, whether humans in this world seem ordinary or Pokémon have a low environmental impact, it's all an illusion.
This is probably somewhat similar to the restraining force in Type-Moon, where the world's rules restrict certain things.
This result both relieved Aizen considerably and filled him with a sense of melancholy.
The reason for this relaxation is that the issues arising from the younger age of the Pokémon world are not real. If the Pokémon world truly had immortal beings, perhaps he would have to consider whether to refuse to enter many irregular worlds in the future.
The only realization is that the true destructive power of Pokémon might be several levels higher.
During this time, under Giovanni's deliberate guidance, each of his Pokémon's independent battle abilities improved significantly. To test this, he even challenged Blaine from the Cinnabar Gym to a battle.
Although it was a close call, he was able to win a 6-on-6 match against other fighters of the same level.
Even though this kind of battle still seemed childish to Aizen, it already made him very happy.
The reason these Pokémon seem naive now is simply because the opponents they face are also naive; it's a matter of environmental factors.
This is just like the swordsman described in many martial arts novels.
The reason he hasn't improved is because he has no opponents left; it's the environment that prevents him from improving his swordsmanship, not because he himself is incapable of improvement.
Therefore, as long as Aizen brings back a spirit, he can level up quickly and won't end up only having a pet to raise.
He actually knew Xia Bo.
The relationship is quite close.
Although the anime didn't show it, in reality, this... Cinnabar Gym Leader was still involved in the birth of Mewtwo.
Having leverage over someone, I can use that... Heavenly King-level old man as a practice target, and the other party won't dare to say anything.
Aside from these things that Aizen himself cared about, some interesting things have happened these days.
For example, the results of the league tournament!
I was so tired last night that I couldn't help but fall asleep.
This morning I had to go to the hospital, do housework, and prepare my own meal. I'm exhausted.
I'm not sure how many chapters I'll get today, but I'll guarantee at least two and aim for four. In any case, I have to be asleep before 2 a.m., and I also need to give myself time to shower, wash dishes, do laundry, and take out the trash.
The fourth watch is roughly the theoretical limit; whether you can actually do it depends on fate. I should have been more diligent in my daily life.
Chapter 217 Results of the Quartz Conference 12/30
Having nothing better to do, Aizen naturally observed the Quartz Conference as an observer.
His primary focus was naturally on Xiaozhi.
To be honest, he didn't think this year's league tournament was very prestigious.
For example, in the original work, Ash's rival Hiro became one of the top eight in the tournament. However, in reality, apart from Butterfree, which evolves very quickly and is in its final form, most of Hiro's Pokémon were Charmeleon, Pikachu, or even their initial forms.
Of course, Hiro, who's practically a carbon copy of Ash, is also lucky, having a Sargeras. His future achievements are probably not bad.
But it's something to pass the time.
However, the result was somewhat unexpected for Aizen.
In such a short time, Ash's Pokémon have all reached level 22. Even though their average strength is still slightly lower than his second team of 22, Ash's strength is comparable to some of the stronger gym leaders.
Unlike the original story, his main team of Pokémon didn't change back and forth; he only had six from beginning to end.
Clearly, Ash had taken his words to heart and was now focusing on training his six Pokémon as his main force.
The targets are Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Wartortle, Charizard, Kingler, and Pidgeot.
That's right, Wartortle evolved.
In the original story, Squirtle, who eventually left the team as a firefighter, finally shone brightly this time. In Aizen's eyes, this Squirtle was no less capable than a regular Blastoise.
Bulbasaur still refuses to evolve, but its strength is not at the bottom; on the contrary, it is stronger than Kingler and Pidgeot, and on par with Wartortle.
A very surprising fact.
Originally, among Ash's starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur was the strongest in its first form, followed by Squirtle, and Charmander was the weakest. However, Charmander was the first to triple-evolve into Charizard, achieving an amazing comeback.
After further training in the Charizard Canyon, it became an Elite Four level Pokémon capable of going toe-to-toe with the three legendary birds that are not of divine origin.
If things continue like this, Bulbasaur probably won't become the "elder brother of the retirement home" anymore.
Squirtle and Pidgeot will most likely not leave the team again.
It's unclear whether Ash can get his Primeape and Butterfree back; the chances seem slim.
In Aizen's view, the reasons why Pidgeot, Butterfree, and others who had become Ash's Pokémon left the team were not only to protect their people, but also because they were in love.
Ultimately, since Ash in the original story couldn't improve their lives, they had no reason to stay except for their feelings for each other.
Why stay and become a problem child administrator like Bulbasaur? It would be much more pleasant to be a firefighter, a local tyrant, or find a beautiful woman to date.
Ash has finally made it big, and his Charizard is no longer the unruly and temperamental guy he used to be. As the main character, he's finally starting to act like one.
Furthermore, what surprised Aizen even more was Gary.
He also had all his members reach level 1, which wasn't too surprising, since the three level 3 spirits he used last time were already level 1.
In terms of difficulty, it wasn't much higher than Kogure's, but what truly surprised Aizen was that Gary's Eevee not only evolved into Umbreon, but its strength had also barely reached the Elite Four level! Even with only one Eevee, its strength was at the bottom, yet it was still at the Elite Four level! At first, Aizen thought that Kogure had made a comeback and won the championship in the first Indigo League, but after seeing Gary, he felt that this time Gary would probably sweep everything aside.
After all, apart from Umbreon, almost all of Gary's other Pokémon are in their final forms: Blastoise, Nidoking, Arcanine, Pidgeot, Golem, Electabuzz, Magmar, Kingler, Nidoqueen, Kadabra, and the unremarkable Pinsir.
Rich people have the resources to raise elves.
Surprisingly, Umbreon became an Elite Four member, instead of Blastoise, Gary's strongest partner throughout the journey.
However, from the faint wounds visible on the Moon Elf, Aizen could tell that the Moon Elf had undergone more rigorous training. But the barely noticeable scars showed that Gary had also used very expensive medical supplies, which was quite good for his own Elf.
Furthermore, Eevee can evolve into Umbreon, so the bond between the two won't be much weaker than that between Blastoise and Eevee.
Hiro, Ash's formidable rival from the original series, was wiped out by Ash's Pidgeot in a single sweep of three opponents in the quarterfinals.
Despite being eliminated in the top 32, Gary made a remarkable comeback, using a variety of Pokémon in rotation, and finally encountered Ash in the semifinals.
Everyone thought this guy could take down Ash, but Aizen once again witnessed the irrationality of the protagonist's halo.
Gary, who was supposed to be defeated by Ash at the Silver Conference, faced Ash earlier than expected, but still lost.
The plot goes something like this: aside from Umbreon, the two, whose strengths are roughly equal, were given a strong advantage by Ash at the start. Ash traded Bulbasaur and Kingler for five of the opponent's Pokémon, while Charizard and Pidgeot were not at full strength.
After Umbreon appeared, it swept through the enemy ranks, Pidgeot was instantly defeated, and Wartortle could not last ten seconds. Just then, Charizard surprisingly used a self-destructive attack.
Of course, the significant difference in strength meant that Charizard didn't manage to take down his opponent; he merely sacrificed his ability to fight to give Umbreon a minor injury.
Finally, it was a crushing defeat for Umbreon against Pikachu in a one-on-one match.
Ahem, this crushing defeat once again demonstrated what it means to be unreasonable and what it means to have the protagonist's halo.
Pikachu's strength has fluctuated since it evolved to...
Although they didn't unleash their champion-level power this time, they still managed to defeat the Moon Elf by a narrow margin.
These two managed to turn a low-level Quartz tournament into a high-level match.
Ash had put in a lot of effort this time, and his Pokémon were all quite strong. Despite his defeat, Gary didn't give up on his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. Instead, he made a bold statement, deciding to challenge Ash to a duel in future tournaments.
Just as Ash was about to win the championship, Aizen suddenly realized that his opponent was a "familiar face".
This guy's name is Darkroc, but the name isn't important. His nickname is "Legendary Pokémon Man"! A single Latios wipes out the entire team, and Charizard and Pikachu don't even have a chance to unleash their full potential.
If Aizen hadn't known that the abilities and items gained after possession couldn't be extracted after completing the mission, he might have actually felt the urge to steal the other party's divine beast.
The "divine beast man" sounds fierce, but he's actually just a divine beast without any divine authority. It's estimated that even Darkrai, which hasn't appeared yet, is only at the Elite Four level. With Team Rocket's strength, defeating him wouldn't be difficult at all.
It seems the world's will is playing tricks, not wanting Ash to win the championship so early.
And so, the unfortunate kid missed out on the championship once again.
"Hey, why did I use 'again'?"
"You used that word with great flair."
Chatting casually with the system about his recent experiences, Aizen was filled with emotion.
Every world has plenty of amazing things waiting to be discovered, but unfortunately, time was still too short. Otherwise, he would have liked to see the real legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Rayquaza.
"I heard that Nurse Joy has been missing for a while now, and Ash has also received an invitation. It's about time to end this trip."
Aizen stood up and put the cat boss back into the ball, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 218 The Unexpected Intrusion of Xiao Shigeru and the Divine Beast Man 13/30
"We won again!!!"
Crackle, crackle.
Bathed in golden lightning, the jubilant boy, like a great demon king, laughed heartily as he defeated yet another opponent on his journey.
Seeing the fallen Moth, Golem, and Megatron lying before him, the Challenger clutched his head and screamed in agony, "Aaaaaah! How could this happen?"
Pikachu, having annihilated three opponents in a single blow, lazily yawned, seemingly no longer considering these minor characters a threat.
"Long time no see, this Pikachu's strength has increased a lot."
"Originally, even Boss Sakaki wouldn't have given it a second glance, but now, even Boss Sakaki would probably give it a second look."
"We have made great contributions this time, but it can only make up for the mistakes we made before."
Only catching this Pikachu will be considered a true achievement!
Two people and a cat holding binoculars on a cliff not far away were exchanging words in secret.
The man who walked up behind the three men had a dark expression on his face and interrupted them in a cold voice, "Sorry, I don't even consider Pikachu a threat right now."
"Whether you take us seriously or not is none of our business... This voice sounds familiar."
Impatient Kojiro's voice suddenly softened as he spoke.
The two people and the cat mechanically turned around, forcing smiles as they greeted each other in unison, "Hello, Boss Sakaki."
I'm not good.
Aizen's face twitched, and he said with displeasure, "Weren't you in Chengdu? When did you come back?"
"Well, the situation in Chengdu has been taken care of."
"Boss, you don't have any new assignments, and I'm not used to having nothing to do over there, so I secretly came back."
Musashi explained with an embarrassed laugh.
"Yes, you did a really good job with things in Chengdu."
Aizen offered a gentle compliment without offering any further criticism.
At this point, whether the Rockets' trio returned or not was no longer important; the matter had reached its final stage.
Even if their identity as a member of Team Rocket were discovered at this point, the league wouldn't have time to replace them as gym leader with Kikuko, one of the Elite Four.
To be honest, Aizen was also somewhat speechless about these three incompetent fools.
These two people and one cat are quite amazing. After being assigned to Chengdu, these three idiots actually showed a surprisingly outstanding performance.
The Rockets' move to establish a firm foothold in Chengdu, which was originally predicted to take six months, was accomplished in less than a month after their arrival.
Disguise, infiltration, high-tech tactics—these abilities, seemingly those of elite special agents, were used with ease, allowing them to successfully infiltrate the Rockets' ranks in Chengdu.
