Aoki knew that explaining now would be useless.
He was just genuinely surprised that a Moltres would appear here, and judging by its appearance, this Moltres was even more majestic than the one Aoki had seen on the Three Gods Island.
Subconsciously, he used his chip to scan the Moltres's data, but when he saw the data, Aoki regretted it.

"..."
He had calculated everything, but he never would have thought that he would encounter the legendary true Moltres here.
He had encountered many legendary Pokémon without divine duties before, including Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, but he never expected to encounter the true Moltres here.
No wonder the Alliance dared to cordon off the interior of Mt. Silver, without worrying about people entering from above or Pokémon choosing to leave from above. It turned out that everything was because of its existence.
Although he didn't know why Moltres would choose to cooperate with the Alliance, this clearly indicated that the Alliance had close ties with some legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon world.
But now was not the time for Aoki to ponder such matters. This legendary Moltres was glaring at him aggressively, looking as if it was ready for a fight.
A sheepish smile appeared on Aoki's face.
To be fair, he wasn't the cause of this incident. He wanted to communicate with this Shiny Ninetales, but she had no intention of letting him explain, immediately wanting to cause trouble with her powerful strength.
Aoki was now curious how the people who collected the Alliance's inventory he had used earlier managed to obtain them from Ninetales.
So, Aoki decided to reason with Moltres. Ninetales might be unreasonable, but perhaps this Moltres was a creature of reason?
"Ahem, to be fair…"
"Screech!!!"
However, before Aoki could even say much, Moltres let out a long cry, directly interrupting his words.
It flapped its fiery wings and shot towards Aoki like lightning.
Aoki's expression suddenly changed as he noticed Moltres's movement.
Moltres's speed was too fast. Slowking clearly wouldn't have enough time to use Teleport now, and the Ninetales next to them also had strong Psychic abilities, so whether Teleport could even be used was a question.
"Baan!!!"
Tyranitar roared, taking a large stride to stand directly in front of Aoki, its sharp and resolute eyes fixed on the charging Moltres.
"Damn it!" Aoki only had time to utter that word.
He hastily pulled a Key Stone from his pocket, "Mega Evolve!"
For Tyranitar, at the peak of quasi-champion strength, to withstand an attack from a true legendary Pokémon Moltres, which was at the peak of champion strength, even with its strong defense, it was beyond what it could withstand, beyond its limits.
The seven-colored light of Mega Evolution enveloped Tyranitar.
However, just as the colorful light appeared, Moltres's fiery wings were already in front of it.
Boom!!!!
A gigantic, dark-green monster with menacing spikes on its body was sent flying backward. It was Mega Tyranitar, which had completed its Mega Evolution at the last moment.
Three meters tall and weighing over a ton, Tyranitar had never been sent flying like this before.
Thud—Thud—
Mega Tyranitar's massive body arced through the air, crashing to the ground and rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
However, once it stopped, it lay motionless on the ground, as if it had lost its ability to battle.
With such high defense and having completed Mega Evolution, theoretically, Mega Tyranitar should have been at champion level, yet it couldn't withstand a single attack from Moltres?!
Aoki's eyes widened, somewhat unable to accept it.
He truly hadn't expected the legendary true Moltres to be able to unleash such powerful offensive capabilities.
In fact, it was also because Aoki had encountered many legendary Pokémon during this period, and he had become somewhat overly idealistic about their combat power.
Whether it was the three legendary birds encountered on the Three Gods Island, or Volcanion encountered on the Niebel Plateau, or Darkrai captured in the dark space of Trial Island, although they were all legendary Pokémon, they were all legendary Pokémon without divine duties.
The only true legendary Pokémon he had encountered and battled was Kyogre, which was not yet fully recovered, and he had helped Drake contain it.
But that was because Kyogre had just awakened and couldn't unleash its full power. Even when it later teamed up with Groudon to fight Rayquaza, it wasn't certain that it unleashed its full power.
Just as Adams said, his champion-level Latios could suppress or even defeat a newly awakened Groudon, but once they fully recovered, Adams knew he couldn't defeat them.
The Moltres in front of Aoki now could be said to have no loss in strength, and as the unique and only Moltres with divine duties in this world, at the peak of champion level, the combat power it could unleash was unimaginable.
Moltres's attack ended, and it did not attack again. Instead, it hovered not far from Aoki, looking down at him with intense disdain in its eyes.
The Pokémon around Aoki were furious when they saw Tyranitar being sent flying like that. If Aoki hadn't given the order, they would have rushed up to fight Moltres to the death.
"You're being unreasonable, aren't you? Indeed, in the face of absolute power, all reason is but a joke. Thank you for reminding me of this truth again…" Aoki muttered, head bowed, his face grim.
The Pokémon around him all sensed that something was happening to Aoki.
Dense psychic energy continuously spread from his body, transforming into strands of psychic threads that slowly extended outwards.
Because his psychic energy had long merged with spatial energy, coupled with his inherent spatial talent, these extended psychic threads actually caused the space around where he stood to fluctuate. Spatial rifts appeared out of thin air around his body.
Through these spatial rifts, one could see in the void and darkness, black, lightning-like energy trying to squeeze into the Pokémon world.
Suddenly, Aoki looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Moltres, "You think strength is reason, fine! I'll show you that even an ant can inflict enough damage on an elephant, and even I have a chance to pull you down from your pedestal!
Don't believe me! Come and try!"
In an instant, dozens of Poké Balls appeared in Aoki's hand.
