After hearing the Gardevoir sisters' report, the corners of Aiden's mouth lifted slightly.
"Tyranitar, huh?"
"Finally, we've found traces of one."
Having already captured the Venusaur colony, Aiden followed the information relayed by the Gardevoir sisters and activated his psychic power.
With a flash, he appeared beside Mewtwo.
All three Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon had discovered traces of Tyranitar, but Mewtwo was the closest, so Aiden came here first.
The Tyranitar Mewtwo had found was Level 59, standing at the peak of the near-Elite Four tier.
Facing it, Aiden immediately threw out a Luxury Ball.
His golden Gyarados appeared at once.
As a king born among millions of Gyarados, the golden Gyarados possessed overwhelming power.
Its strength had also been improving at an astonishing rate.
At present, not a single one of Aiden's main battle Pokémon was below the Elite Four tier.
The moment the golden Gyarados' enormous body appeared, it attacked under Aiden's command.
One Aqua Tail sent Tyranitar flying.
"Hydro Pump."
The quiet command was followed by Gyarados' deafening roar.
A massive pillar of water erupted forward and blasted Tyranitar away once again.
A Luxury Ball flashed through the air.
Just like that, the Tyranitar was captured.
"Keep searching, Mewtwo."
"Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon are rare encounters."
"It wouldn't be bad to catch a few more and build an entire colony."
Mewtwo nodded after hearing Aiden's words.
Its figure vanished once more.
Aiden then teleported repeatedly before arriving beside Deoxys.
This was the Deoxys he had later taken from Giovanni.
There was a slight difference in its coloration.
Its core was purple rather than green.
Perhaps this was due to the influence of the Dark Ball.
Although the Psychic Plate had helped neutralize the Dark Ball's power, that darkness had also become part of this Deoxys' strength.
When Aiden arrived, he saw three Tyranitar, five Pupitar, and ten Larvitar lying scattered across the ground before Deoxys.
This Deoxys was certainly more ruthless than the others.
Aiden took out Poké Balls and captured every one of them.
Afterward, he recalled Deoxys.
...
When Aiden arrived at the location of the final Deoxys, a Hyper Beam came roaring toward him the instant he appeared.
Aiden immediately raised a psychic barrier.
Only after blocking the attack did he turn his attention toward the strangely colored Shiny Tyranitar before him.
The Deoxys had been confronting this Tyranitar.
Because of Aiden's sudden appearance, the black Tyranitar had immediately launched an attack at him.
Aiden examined it carefully.
The Tyranitar before him was covered entirely in pitch-black armor.
Its height had reached an astonishing six and a half meters.
Ding! Tyranitar's current attributes are as follows:

Profile: The strongest Tyranitar in the Mt. Silver region. As a Shiny Pokémon, it possesses even greater power and rules as the dominant leader of the Tyranitar species.
Likes: Fighting and eating rocks.
"A Level 72 Shiny Tyranitar?"
"Now that's impressive."
"As expected of the dominant pseudo-Legendary of Mt. Silver. Its strength is monstrous."
As Aiden spoke, he recalled the legends surrounding Mt. Silver.
According to those stories, Tyranitar had not originally lived in this region.
Because pseudo-Legendary Pokémon were both powerful and rare, countless poachers had once hunted Tyranitar.
They were nearly captured to extinction in the wild.
That was why the Pokémon League had spent enormous resources establishing the Mt. Silver Wild Pokémon Preserve.
Huge amounts of money had been invested to relocate Tyranitar colonies here.
Over time, the story that Tyranitar naturally inhabited Mt. Silver had gradually spread.
"Roar!"
The black Shiny Tyranitar released a deafening roar.
A Luxury Ball immediately appeared in Aiden's hand.
"I'm counting on you, Machamp!"
Against a Rock- and Dark-type Pokémon, a Fighting type naturally held a tremendous advantage.
Aiden chose Machamp because it had also reached the Champion tier.
"Machamp, use Dynamic Punch!"
At Aiden's command, Machamp roared.
Dense Fighting-type energy gathered around one of its lower fists as it charged toward the Shiny Tyranitar.
Sensing Machamp's powerful aura, Tyranitar roared and fired another Hyper Beam.
This Pokémon seemed similar to Aiden's Aerodactyl.
It appeared to possess a certain resistance to the usual drawback of Hyper Beam.
Sure enough, Tyranitar transformed into a mobile cannon and unleashed three consecutive Hyper Beams at Machamp.
"Machamp!"
"Use Dynamic Punch with all four arms!"
"Knock those Hyper Beams back!"
Machamp had four arms.
As a Fighting-type Pokémon, its physical strength was naturally tremendous.
Even though Tyranitar was displaying extraordinary power, there was still a clear difference between it and Machamp.
As the first Hyper Beam came roaring forward, Machamp punched out with Dynamic Punch.
The beam exploded instantly.
Machamp then used two more arms to block the remaining Hyper Beams.
Finally, the Dynamic Punch from its fourth fist slammed directly into Tyranitar's abdomen.
Boom!
A tremendous force erupted.
Tyranitar was forced half a step backward.
Yet the Fighting-type attack, which should have dealt quadruple damage, did not seem to have much effect.
"What's going on?"
"Could its Shiny ability be similar to my Shiny Onix?"
"Does it possess resistance to attacks that should be super effective?"
Aiden's interest immediately grew.
"Machamp, one more time!"
"Use Seismic Toss!"
Before Machamp could attack, Tyranitar roared and sank its jaws into Machamp's shoulder.
Dense Dark-type energy covered its fangs.
The move was clearly Crunch.
After taking the attack, Machamp roared in fury.
All four of its hands grabbed hold of Tyranitar.
Thunder Punch.
Ice Punch.
Fire Punch.
Brick Break.
Four different attacks struck at once.
