Without the help of the rain, they were naturally no match for Aoki.
However, their strength was undeniable, and he still caused a lot of trouble for Aoki's Pokémon.
But the final outco was without surprise.
Having dealt with them, and then capturing Shelly, Archie's forces were quickly dismantled by Aoki.
"Later, you will leave directly from here. I will send you the location, and you will go there to take over Team Aqua's underwater base. There should still be quite a few Team Aqua mbers there. You can selectively recruit them. As for the specific criteria and details, you can decide as you see fit," Aoki said to Shelly beside him.
Earlier, he had the system pilot Team Aqua's ship to another sea area, and now only Aoki knew its location.
Moreover, the system had control over the ship's main computer. Anyone who wanted to gain partial control of the ship would need Aoki's permission.
Shelly was sowhat shocked to hear Aoki's words. "Sir... did you defuse the ship's self-destruct?"
Aoki smiled and nodded. "It would be such a waste for such a good underwater base to self-destruct. Moreover, there are many resources stored by Team Aqua on it, and even those abandoned Team Aqua mbers are valuable assets. I hope you can gain complete control of them."
"Yes!" Shelly imdiately responded.
She found that the closer she got to Aoki, the more she couldn't quite see through him.
Originally, she thought he was just a talented prodigy in the Alliance, and later he beca a Elite Four mber.
As a mber of Team Aqua, while she feared the Elite Four, she didn't fear them that much. The two sides were only on opposing sides due to different stances.
However, the prophetic scenes Aoki showed her repeated in her mind almost every day, more than once.
Only now did she realize that Aoki's preparations were far more extensive than she had imagined, and she was rely a relatively important chess piece in Aoki's plan.
Controlling Team Aqua's base ship and then having her control those Team Aqua mbers, did he intend to replace Archie as the leader of Team Aqua?
However, with his current status as an Elite Four mber, and the importance placed on him by Alliance President Adams and the First Elite Four mber, Steven, it was clear that the Alliance offered greater benefits to him, making betrayal unlikely.
But since she couldn't figure it out, Shelly stopped thinking about it and honestly focused on completing her tasks and work.
After giving his instructions, Aoki left the alternate dinsion with Shelly and, unnoticed by anyone, sent her outside the Seafloor Cavern.
As a mber of Team Aqua, her ability to move in the sea was not an issue.
After quietly sending Shelly away, Aoki imdiately returned to the cavern with his Pokémon.
At this mont, Drake was at full power, and even with Archie and Matt working together, they couldn't pose any threat to Drake.
Moreover, Drake was now accompanied by his old partner, the Salance leader, a Dragon-type Pokémon even stronger than Kommo-o.
Coupled with Archie having abandoned several Pokémon to save himself during the last teor Falls incident, his current strength was significantly weaker than before.
Matt's strength was similar to Shelly's and Steven's. In a battle with Aoki, he would likely end up like Steven at best, let alone against Drake. He was mostly just helping to contain Drake.
So, what Aoki saw before him was two people being thoroughly beaten by Drake.
Aoki's return to the cavern elicited different reactions from the three.
Drake's face showed joy. According to their plan, he would deal with Archie and one executive. With his full strength, he could defeat them within a certain period, and Aoki only needed to contain the other two executives.
That's why Drake was fighting so fiercely.
Now, he hadn't expected Aoki to resolve his side of the battle first.
Archie and Matt, on the other hand, looked grim. They couldn't defeat Drake, and the reason they were stubbornly holding on was that they believed Shelly, working together, would definitely be able to handle Aoki. As long as they stalled until the two of them were free, then with all four of them attacking together, they wouldn't have to worry about Drake anymore.
They never expected such an outco.
"Teacher, I'm here to help you!" Aoki shouted to Drake, then charged towards them with his Pokémon.
As Aoki approached, the expressions of Archie and Matt changed simultaneously. They were already no match, and if Aoki intervened, they would likely lose their ability to resist instantly.
Archie's face was grim. Kyogre was right before his eyes, and the Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre was in his hand. His lifelong wish was about to be realized, yet he was being blocked by these two people.
anwhile, Matt beside him had already begun to have thoughts of retreating.
"Leader, where there's life, there's hope!" Matt said to Archie.
But Archie ignored him, his expression becoming more and more ferocious, more and more distorted. A strange voice in his heart grew louder and louder.
Quickly awaken Kyogre! As long as Kyogre is awakened, all enemies will turn to dust!
Archie's sanity was already sowhat unstable at this ti, and being pushed into such a dead end by Drake, this sentence beca the last straw that broke him.
"As long as Kyogre awakens! All of you will die!" After saying that, with a determined mindset, he made all his Pokémon disregard life and death to escort him through Drake's obstruction.
It must be said that a maddened Archie was still very difficult to stop.
Fighting to the death, Archie could care less about the life and death of his Pokémon, but Drake couldn't. Under a reluctant defense, a gap appeared, allowing Archie to successfully break through the defense line, and then he unhesitatingly plunged into the pool of water emitting a blue glow.
Matt also took advantage of Archie's madness to imdiately withdraw from the cavern with his Pokémon. At this point, the situation was no longer sothing he could intervene in.
As Archie rushed into the pool, Drake and Aoki imdiately subdued his Pokémon.
These Pokémon were all very powerful and could not be left outside; they needed to be taken back to the Alliance for custody.
"Teacher!" Aoki walked up to Drake, looking at the blue lake now rippling.
Drake's expression was solemn. "Notify the Alliance that Kyogre might be awakening. All coastal cities should prepare to prevent tidal waves, and then inquire about the situation with Sidney and Phoebe."
Aoki nodded and imdiately took out his communicator to report the situation to Adams.
Kyogre's awakening was inevitable, but at this mont, humanity, at this mont, the Alliance, when facing Kyogre, might not be without the power to resist!
After all, a newly awakened Kyogre would certainly not be in its strongest state.
Moreover, when facing Kyogre, the Alliance also had its own trump cards.
Gradually, the ripples on the lake grew larger and larger, and a dark shadow floated up from the bottom of the lake.
Drake's expression grew even more solemn, and he said in a low voice, "Get ready. Retreat at any ti if you can't hold on! This is the ocean, Kyogre's territory!"
