Level 73, a veteran Elite Four level.
If a Garchomp like this appeared in the outside world, it would undoubtedly be a highly sought-after Pokémon for trainers.
While some demanding trainers prefer to raise their Pokémon from a young age, this is a minority.
Most trainers don't have such requirements.
Many even hope to skip the initial training phase and directly acquire a fully developed Pokémon, preferably one with a higher level.
After all, this can significantly reduce their expenses in raising Pokémon.
Moreover, it's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, Garchomp, that has already bypassed the most challenging early childhood development stage, directly becoming a fully-fledged pseudo-legendary with veteran Elite Four combat power.
That's why this space is practically a treasure trove of endless wealth.
Unfortunately, Aoki is currently unable to move.
Even if he had the capability, he probably wouldn't touch this place.
If handled properly, this place could be a veritable armory.
Physically powerful Dragon-type Pokémon, high-level and strong in combat, and in sufficient numbers...
Boom! Boom!
The battle between Tyranitar and Garchomp began!
The two Pokémon immediately engaged in the simplest and most brutal form of combat: a test of strength!
Tyranitar's hand grasped Garchomp's hand, or rather, its arm.
After all, Garchomp's hands had transformed into two scythe-like fins.
All four arms were straightened, forming a straight line between Tyranitar's and Garchomp's arms.
However, due to the height difference, Tyranitar was exerting force downwards, while Garchomp was exerting force upwards, giving Tyranitar an advantage.
Both Pokémon gritted their teeth, eyes wide, exerting all their might.
Screech—
The sound of feet scraping against the ground emerged.
Tyranitar pushed against Garchomp, slowly forcing it backward.
Garchomp's face flushed, but it was helpless; in fact, Tyranitar's pushing speed was increasing.
Realizing it was failing in the strength it prided itself on, Garchomp was somewhat surprised.
However, since it wasn't an opponent in pure strength, it decided to incorporate some combat techniques.
Garchomp took a step back, instantly breaking free from Tyranitar's power range, and they separated.
Fortunately, Tyranitar had anticipated Garchomp's next move, so it had already held back a third of its strength, preventing it from stumbling and giving the opponent an opportunity for a sneak attack.
But Garchomp had no intention of a sneak attack; after withdrawing its strength, it stood still, waiting for Tyranitar to recover before re-engaging in battle.
It then noticed that Tyranitar also seemed proficient in power techniques.
A hint of surprise flashed in its eyes as it surged forward.
Tyran!
Tyranitar was excited, letting out a roar and taking a step forward.
The two Pokémon's arms met again, but this time, both were employing certain power-using techniques.
It appeared to be a clash of fists, but there were many intricacies involved.
However, the outcome was even more unbelievable for Garchomp.
Because this time, it was directly sent flying by Tyranitar's punch, staggering back three or four steps before barely stopping in place.
Before it could think further, Tyranitar, who had been on the defensive, launched its first active attack.
Its large, sandbag-like fist didn't use any energy; it was pure muscle strength combined with some power-using techniques.
Garchomp, who had just stabilized its posture, saw Tyranitar's swinging fist and its expression became solemn.
Tyranitar's punch was not easy to block.
Among Aoki's Pokémon, who was the most agile? Weavile! Who could unleash the strongest attack with the least amount of force? Blaziken!
Tyranitar had always been with Blaziken, so it naturally learned some power-using techniques from Blaziken. Coupled with its own boundless strength, when combined with technique, it could truly shatter mountains and break rocks!
In a hurry, Garchomp could only assume a defensive stance, crossing its arms over its chest, forcibly enduring Tyranitar's fierce punch.
Boom!!!
This was the purest sound produced by the collision of muscle against muscle.
Garchomp's arms tensed, and it was once again sent flying by a punch, sliding back three or four meters before stopping.
Tyranitar's attacks grew fiercer and more relentless with each strike.
Seizing another opportunity, Tyranitar rushed forward, closing in on Garchomp, unleashing two powerful attacks with its left and right fists.
However, this time Garchomp was prepared, having already adopted a defensive stance, so it successfully blocked Tyranitar's punches.
Just as it breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to counterattack, it saw Tyranitar pivot 180 degrees on its right foot.
Its thick tail, like a giant whip, utilized the momentum of the rotation, along with its own strength and weight.
Boom—
It struck Garchomp's arm.
Thud!!!
Garchomp, caught off guard, was slammed to the ground by Tyranitar's tail, kicking up a large amount of dust.
This time, Tyranitar did not attack again but extended its hand, signaling to help Garchomp up from the ground.
Although Garchomp hadn't posed much of a threat to it purely physically, according to Tyranitar, anyone who could withstand its combo attack without losing consciousness could become its friend.
Among Aoki's Pokémon, only Aggron could achieve this.
As for Pokémon like Blaziken, they wouldn't choose to directly confront Tyranitar; they would mostly dodge.
Directly confronting this 3.2-meter-tall Tyranitar?
That would be foolish, wouldn't it?
Garchomp lay on the ground for a moment before fully recovering.
It had lost to Tyranitar in both strength and technique. Although it still had the power to fight, there was no need to continue.
Garchomp grabbed Tyranitar's hand and stood up.
As it looked at Tyranitar, its eyes showed respect.
It had been convinced by defeat.
Although the skill-based competition didn't happen, why didn't the Dragon-type Pokémon in this space use skills to fight?
It's because their skills are too powerful, and the living space is already limited. If they fought completely unleashed, putting aside everything else, Tyranitar's Sandstorm alone could turn a large area into a desert, making it uninhabitable.
The two Pokémon patted each other on the shoulder, expressing their admiration for each other.
The single-round battle ended with Garchomp's surrender.
