Takeshi and Dartrix, Ash's new subordinates, were merely side characters in Ash's current situation. He and Steven faced Vicious's Tyranitar, which had been enhanced by the Dark Balls.
"Roar!!!" Seeing the frenzied Tyranitar, Ash furrowed his brow. Although it appeared to be agitated, in Ash's eyes, the Pokémon was suffering painfully.
"So it's true; this is a disgusting way to gain power."
Hearing Ash's comment, Steven asked curiously, "What do you see?"
"Tyranitar is effectively sacrificing its lifespan for this enhancement. This Pokémon..."
"I understand. Then there's no need to hold back! Go, Aggron!" Realizing the extent of Vicious's evil, Steven wasted no time and summoned one of his ace Pokémon, Aggron. As Aggron appeared, an overwhelming aura of the Elite Four enveloped the Shadow Tyranitar and Vicious.
"Roar!!!" "Aggron, use Metal Claw!" "Roar!"
Aggron's claw glowed with a white light as it struck Tyranitar, causing the massive Pokémon to stagger back and let out a painful cry. However, despite its agony, Tyranitar retaliated with a Hyper Beam.
"Protect!" With a green protective shield manifesting, Aggron blocked Tyranitar's attack. Without needing a reminder, Aggron instantly followed with Iron Tail, slamming into Tyranitar.
"Roar!!!" Hit hard once again, Tyranitar staggered back, its eyes turning red with fury. Noticing this, Ash turned to Steven and said, "Regular attacks won't do it. That masked guy's Dark Balls are making Tyranitar burn through its life force to grow stronger. We need to defeat it quickly to save it."
Upon hearing Ash's statement, Vicious paused, then smiled smugly at Ash. "Impressive, kid. But do you really have a plan? Tyranitar gains strength from its suffering and is constantly healing! And this isn't even my strongest Tyranitar!"
Despite Vicious's arrogance, Steven silently readied another Poké Ball, but Ash shook his head and handed something to him.
"Use this; it's for Aggron."
Startled, Steven looked at the item Ash handed over. "Ash, you..."
"Use it. It's meant for you. My Pokémon undergo Bond Phenomenon to evolve, so it won't work for me. But you and Aggron share a bond that can trigger it, right?"
With Ash's encouragement, Steven confidently nodded. "Alright, then let's show you the bond I have with Aggron!"
Unaware of Ash and Steven's exchange, Vicious continued to focus on his Tyranitar, thinking it would soon unleash its full wrath and defeat Aggron.
"Aggron, catch!" Steven threw the Key Stone towards Aggron, who received it in its claw just as it blocked another attack from Tyranitar.
"Aggron, Mega Evolve!" As Steven pressed the Key Stone, bright light enveloped Aggron, and in a surprising turn of events for Vicious, Aggron Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron.
"Roar!!!" The roar of Mega Aggron shocked Vicious, leaving him dumbfounded; he had never seen anything like this!
"What is this?!" Steven glanced at Tyranitar before commanding, "Go, Mega Aggron! Heavy Slam!" "Roar!!!"
With a brilliant glow surrounding Mega Aggron, its Heavy Metal ability caused its weight to double, and it crashed into Tyranitar with tremendous force.
"Damn it! Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam on those two!" Despite the horrifying power of the Dark Balls, Tyranitar still struggled against its weakening state. Before losing consciousness, it directed a final Hyper Beam at Ash and Steven.
Vicious gleefully shouted, "Let them feel some pain, you two brats!"
"Chansey, don't let them attack my dad!" Standing beside Ash, Chansey quickly positioned itself in front of Ash and Steven. With a swing of its arms, it created a Light Screen in front of them. The Hyper Beam collided, but the Light Screen held firm. However, it wasn't over yet.
"Chansey, Counter! Target Vicious!" "Lucky!"
With a powerful strike, Chansey slammed into the Light Screen, sending the amplified Hyper Beam hurtling towards Vicious. Realizing the threat, Vicious abandoned his Tyranitar, activating his escape pod.
"Damn it! I'll remember you two!" As the emergency escape pod activated, Vicious was ejected from his machine, which soon crumbled under the reflected power of the attack.
