One of Aoki's purposes in entering Mt. Silver was to find materials to make a recovery potion for Darkrai, and at the same time, to train his Pokémon in this high-intensity and high-risk environment.
Why does the league stipulate that you need at least Elite Four Level or higher to enter Mt. Silver?
It's because Elite Four Level Pokémon are very common here; without Elite Four Level Pokémon, you might only be able to look at them from the entrance.
Of course, even Elite Four Level experts don't dare to wander around aimlessly here. At most, they'll circle around the perimeter a few times to see if they can collect some valuable materials or capture a few high-value Pokémon.
There are also rules for those who enter Mt. Silver. Each person can only catch a maximum of three Pokémon and cannot kill the Pokémon indiscriminately. They can defeat or occasionally accidentally kill one or two Pokémon, but they cannot use their own strength to slaughter the Pokémon indiscriminately.
This is one of the reasons why the Allied forces are stationed here.
To prevent a riot among the Pokémon inside Mt. Silver, and to prevent Trainers entering the area from causing excessive damage to the Mt. Silver ecosystem.
Of course, if you have the ability and confidence to evade the league's investigation, then you don't need to worry about this.
This place is actually similar to a wild wilderness area with a very high level of Pokémon activity, but also a very high level of danger.
After passing through a tunnel, you enter a primeval forest with towering trees, a mottled ground, dense bushes everywhere, and Pokémon everywhere you look.
This is the inner area of Mt. Silver, a relatively high-risk wild region within Pokémon World.
After Aoki entered, he summoned Salamence, Kingdra, Yamana, Lucario, and Venusaur.
It's the best time to train these Pokémon before they enter the inner areas, but only in the relatively outer areas.
Aoki sat in Shinny On Venusaur's back, Gardevoir silently hovered beside Aoki using Psychic, casually leaving Psychic coordinates on a nearby tree so that she could use Teleport with Aoki at any time.
By flying above the trees, Salamence can maintain a wide field of vision and prepare for attacks from the air.
Once Lucario entered the area, he became very active, as if he were back in his own home, moving back and forth through the woods.
Lucario's Aura Power allows him to sense the goodwill and malice of all Pokémon within a one-kilometer radius of him. Therefore, if any Pokémon wants to attack them, it will not escape Lucario's perception unless the opponent's strength is far superior to Lucario's.
However, considering that Gardevoir's Psychic scan also allowed them to approach silently, Aoki believed that unless it was a Champion Level Pokémon, it was impossible.
However, being on the outskirts, encountering wild Pokémon at Champion Level is almost impossible.
Furthermore, Pokémon that can raise their strength to Champion level in the wild are either exceptionally talented and have outstanding abilities, or they are very long-lived Pokémon. These Pokémon will not attack humans or other Pokémon indiscriminately unless it causes damage to their interests.
As for Kingdra, this environment actually offers him no advantage and makes fighting very inconvenient.
Aoki's goal was simply to help him adapt to various combat environments, even in this complex, overgrown ancient forest.
Soon, not long after Aoki and his friends entered the forest, they encountered the first wave of Pokémon attacking them.
Within Mt. Silver, the ecosystem among Pokémon is more complex, with predator-prey relationships and a strong sense of territory.
If someone with sufficient strength rashly enters the territory of one or more Pokémon, they are seen as a Taunt by the wild Pokémon.
A group of fierce-looking Primeapes leaped down from the dense forest and attacked Aoki, who looked the most vulnerable.
As a Pokémon with a bad temper, Primeape has only one option when it encounters a Pokémon that has invaded its territory: attack!
It's a pity they chose the wrong opponent this time.
"Sana—" Gardevoir in Calm Mind opened his eyes immediately, activated Psychic, and several powerful Primeapes were all suspended in mid-air.
Aoki smiled as the Primeape group approached. Gardevoir had already told him that he was just waiting for them to come to him.
Among the few Primeapes that suddenly appeared from the periphery, there was actually an Elite Four Level Primeape.
The other Pokémon, poised to unleash their power, were also ready.
The quickest to react was Lucario, who was also moving through the woods. He clenched his fists together in front of him, then casually spread his hands to the sides, revealing a bone club that shimmered with white fluorescence. He swung his hands rapidly, manipulating the bone club with great agility.
He leaped from the treetop and landed right in the middle of all the Primeapes who were now imprisoned.
Aura Power quickly gathered on the stock list, and with a back-and-forth spin, it sent all the Primeape stocks flying.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Pokémon also took action.
From beneath Venusaur's enormous flower, two massive vines, as thick as Aoki's arms, extended, binding the two Primeapes that Lucario had blasted away. They were pulled down and lashed violently onto the ground— Power Whip!
The other Primeapes falling to the ground became Kingdra's target. The huge stream of water was like a cannonball, and Kingdra found a very tricky angle. The Hydro Pump he spat out successfully hit all three Primeapes, killing three birds with one stone!
The last Elite Four Level Primeape was enraged to see its companion defeated in a few moves, but before it could act again, Gardevoir's Confusion imprisoned it once more.
It was like tossing a ball, dropping him straight into the air.
Salamence, positioned above, is like a striker receiving a pass from midfield, while directly in front of him, the goal stretches out like a vast, boundless ocean.
Suddenly, an Armstrong spiral, soaring eagle takeoff... Dragon Rush slammed the Elite Four Level Primeape hard into the ground.
BOOM!!!
It broke countless tree branches and startled countless birds and Pokémon.
As the saying goes, a single stone can stir up a thousand waves, and this is exactly the scene described.
A wild Pokémon's Sucker Punch was easily dealt with by the cooperation of several Pokémon.
But seeing their eager expressions, Aoki knew that their interest had only just begun to emerge.
It's like Lucario, who just used Swords Dance, found that they all collapsed before he could even exert any force, which was really frustrating.
Aoki said with a smile, "It's not easy to have such a fighting opportunity. Since you are all unsatisfied, then... Venusaur, Sweet Scent."
Let the storm rage on!
