Everything Aoki did, and his battle with Kyogre, was perfectly captured by the cameraman.
At the same time, whether watching live on TV or on computers, people who had been clenching their hands finally relaxed.
Although the TV station boss was nervous about the helicopter, seeing the soaring viewership at that moment made him want to jump for joy.
Meanwhile, the entire internet was in chaos.
"Holy crap!!! Forgive me, but these two words are the only ones in my current vocabulary that can express the intense fluctuations in my heart right now!" This was a comment from a knowledgeable scholar.
"Awesome!!! Sandstorm Aoki is truly amazing! I thought his victory over Steven was just luck, but now I'm a fan for life!!!" This was a comment from a professional online keyboard warrior.
"Lord Aoki is too amazing!! Can psychic powers be used like that?! I want to become a psychic too!!" This was a comment from a dreamy elementary school student.
"With a Four Heavenly Kings like this, I feel very proud to be a Hoenn native! Very honored!" This was a comment from an ordinary head of a household in his forties.
"Lord Aoki is mighty!!! I want to have your babies!!!" Needless to say, this was a comment from a fangirl.
...
Immediately after, the live stream was flooded with comments about wanting to have Aoki's babies.
For a time, the name "Aoki" instantly became the hottest topic on the internet and the most searched term.
Experts see the essence, while laymen see the spectacle.
Those with strength could tell that the person directly confronting Kyogre at that moment was Drake, while Aoki was assisting and distracting from the side.
So it always looked like Drake was commanding his Pokémon to be blasted away, while Aoki was commanding his Pokémon to attack Kyogre, attracting its attention, as if saving Drake from Kyogre's mouth.
However, only a minority could truly understand, so Aoki suddenly gained an unknown number of little fans, both male and female.
Aoki was completely unaware of this.
He had merely saved a helicopter that was about to crash, not realizing they were there to film breaking news, nor that his casual act of saving them would be seen by the entire world.
Coupled with Reporter Axi's over-the-top praise, Aoki practically became the male god in the hearts of all his fangirls.
However, Aoki and Drake were now fighting with increasing difficulty. Kyogre was recovering more and more of its strength, while their Pokémon, even with replenishment, couldn't recover as quickly as Kyogre. With the ebb and flow, the battle became even more challenging.
Aoki was waiting, waiting for Adams to be fully prepared, then they could retreat.
After holding on for a while longer, Drake's Flygon lost its combat ability under Kyogre's explosive attack, and Aoki finally received Adams' reply.
"Preparation complete, you may begin!"
Aoki's face lit up with joy, and he replied with one word, "Good!"
Then he turned to Drake and said, "Teacher, the League is ready. Let's go!"
Hearing this news, Drake's face also relaxed slightly.
They picked up Aoki, recalled all their Pokémon into their Poké Balls, and rode the Salamence leader back at full speed.
Seeing his opponent, with whom he had battled for so long, trying to escape, how could Kyogre tolerate it?
It completely merged into the massive tidal wave and chased after the two.
All that was left was the news crew, who were now alone in the sky.
However, they quickly reacted, swiftly chased after them, and based on the information sent by the TV station headquarters, they also learned about the Alliance's plan and preparations.
They immediately informed the audience watching on TV or computers, and everyone subconsciously clenched their fists, hoping that this plan would succeed.
While Aoki and Drake were luring Kyogre towards the Hoenn region, Adams and his team finally lured Groudon to the frozen sea.
The enraged Groudon didn't think much at that moment; it only wanted to destroy everyone and every Pokémon that had harmed it!
Seeing that everything was proceeding according to plan, Adams, standing on the back of a Latios, let out a long sigh of relief.
That's right, Latios!
The legendary Pokémon, a Dragon and Psychic-type, Latios!
Although it wasn't the two true legendary Pokémon with divine roles, it was still incomparable to ordinary Pokémon.
This Latios was one of Adams' ace Pokémon, and also the main reason he was once able to serve as the Hoenn Champion.
If it weren't for the previous incident, which led to his resignation, almost no one would be able to shake his position as the Hoenn Champion now.
It was precisely because of the existence of Latios that Adams still had the strength to suppress Groudon at that time, and he wanted to try and see if he could capture Groudon.
Of course, he still had the ability to suppress Groudon at this moment, which is why he agreed to Aoki's plan.
Although the plan seemed to have a high chance of success, this was also because Adams had enough confidence to correct any unforeseen circumstances.
Adams did not act when Team Magma and Team Aqua made their moves last time, but this time, he chose to act without hesitation.
Kyogre and Groudon were both rushing towards each other as planned.
...
Above the Hoenn region.
Several figures stood in mid-air at an unknown height, dressed in different colored clothes: black, white, and silver-gray.
If Aoki were here, he might recognize them as members of the Divine Cult.
"This is a very good opportunity. Should we make our move? There's a high probability of success." The young man in the black coat spoke first.
Hearing his words, the young woman in the silver-gray coat gave him a look as if he were an idiot and said nothing.
It was the elegant lady in white who spoke, "Didn't you see that Hoenn President Adams has made his move? I don't think we can withstand his wrath. Although he hasn't acted for a long time, I don't think his strength has diminished; in fact, it might even be stronger."
"Stronger?" The young man in black was clearly surprised.
This time, the young woman in the silver-gray coat couldn't help but retort impatiently, "Have you ever seen a Dragon-type Pokémon get weaker before it ages? Besides, this is no ordinary Dragon-type Pokémon."
"But wasn't he seriously injured a long time ago?"
"You also know it was a long time ago? This old man is cunning. Do you think he hasn't acted all this time because his strength is insufficient? Do you think he resigned as champion because he wasn't strong enough? He's waiting for some people to jump out, and those people include us."
Although the three were very far from the sea, they seemed to be able to see everything.
And they also seemed to know Adams very well.
Adams, standing on the back of Latios with a serious expression, seemed to sense that he was being watched, and he looked towards the Hoenn region with a hint of doubt.
"You see, 'old but strong' describes him perfectly. From so far away, he can detect us just with his consciousness. Anyway, I won't do it; you two do it if you want. I'm leaving first." With that, the young woman in the silver-gray coat disappeared from her spot.
After the young woman left, the young man in black shed his previous idiotic demeanor, reverting to his calm and composed self, and said indifferently, "Tsk, he's not easy to fool.
Forget it, it's boring. Let's go, let's go!"
With that, both of them also disappeared from their spots.
