The battle is over.

Although Giovanni had won, it was the kind of victory that left no room for suspense. Yet, Giovanni found himself with an even higher opinion of Aoki. It was natural for him to win; even though the Pokemon he was testing this time were not from his first team, or even his second, they were his Pokemon after all.

Despite possessing a certain advantage in strength, Aoki had still managed to win two matches. It was inevitable that his own Pokemon were weak against certain attributes. In a battle, no one can prevent their opponent from sending out Pokemon with type advantages. But even when one's own Pokemon are at a type disadvantage, that is not a valid reason for failure. He took out the Pokeball and returned his Garchomp.

Giovanni had gained a basic understanding of Aoki's strength. "Yes, with your current strength, it is quite good. You should be able to put up a fight against Shadow for a while," Giovanni said, his fighting spirit now gone. He had been a little angry before and had wanted to take it out on Aoki, but after a round of fighting, he had discovered more of Aoki's advantages. For someone who had only been away from the Trial Island for just over a year to be able to reach this level was quite impressive.

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief," Aoki said respectfully. Looking at the calm and composed Giovanni, and then at himself, sweating profusely from excessive concentration,

Aoki clearly felt the gap between them. That gap was even wider than the largest canyon in the Pokemon world. Whether in terms of command, the strength of the Pokemon, or their training, it was a complete defeat. Even with the use of his Telepathy, he hadn't been able to gain much of an advantage in command.

After venting his anger, Giovanni put on his shirt, then picked up a suit hanging on the wall, put it on, and left. Aoki looked like he was about to collapse; maintaining Telepathy for such a long time was truly exhausting.

After resting for a while, he left the arena. After returning to his room and treating his Pokemon's wounds, he fell directly onto the bed and fell asleep. In truth, Aoki's actual growth rate was already terrifying. Giovanni had been very surprised that Aoki could fight back and forth with him to the extent that he did.

...

Two days later.

Aoki, dressed neatly and carrying everything he could, came to the laboratory at the base again. At this time, Sebastian was already prepared, along with a group of researchers in white coats. Aoki, dressed in black, seemed a little out of place in the crowd. Everyone was in a room that was entirely white and looked extremely clean. Aoki was holding a device that looked somewhat like a watch, likely specially made in that style.

"Aoki, how is it? Have you prepared everything?" Sebastian asked. Aoki nodded.

"This device is specifically designed to resemble a watch. Because it needs to constantly absorb the energy floating in the surrounding space, it cannot be stored inside a typical spatial storage device. Otherwise, the entire spatial field could destabilize and collapse. Therefore, this design makes it easier to carry," Sebastian explained. "And this, keep this as well," he said, taking out something that looked like a wristband. "This is a specially made spatial storage device, which contains a complete set of long-range communication equipment. If you find any traces of Mew there, simply open this spatial device and the equipment inside will automatically deploy and activate, allowing us to sense it from here as well."

Sebastian made some final preparations and explained to Aoki, "If you find that the teleportation device is malfunctioning, open this wristband and we will be able to bring you back, so do not worry about being unable to return. Also, your watch contains a basic map of that space. If the device is functioning smoothly, it will also allow you to determine your position within the space and facilitate your movements."

Aoki had received two incredible pieces of technology at once. Both of these items represented the highest achievements of the Pokemon world in spatial research. However, since they were electronic devices, once they were in Aoki's possession, they would completely become his property. After putting it on his right wrist, Aoki had already initiated his system's invasion protocols. Although Sebastian spoke with great confidence, Aoki still had to verify everything himself before he could feel at ease.

After waiting silently for less than a minute, the system, while pretending to interface harmlessly with Sebastian's equipment, had already completely mastered the devices. After scanning and analyzing them, the system confirmed their functions were largely as Sebastian had described. But Sebastian had still omitted some details. The most basic was that this watch-like device contained a hidden monitoring and listening device. Moreover, its installation location was very secretive; without the system's scan, Aoki would not have been able to find it even if he disassembled the device. A chill ran down his spine. He knew it couldn't be that simple. Perhaps they were still a little worried about him going alone, but once he arrived, these things would be beyond Sebastian's control.

After ensuring there were no immediate safety issues, Aoki, led by Sebastian, walked into a small room constructed of special reinforced glass. Then, in front of everyone, he activated the watch on his wrist and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Aoki vanish smoothly, Sebastian said to the staff beside him, "Go and activate the monitor to check the current situation. Even with a teleportation device, it will take more than a few minutes to traverse such a vast distance."

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing Sebastian's order, someone immediately ran to operate a special console to check Aoki's status. "Lord Sebastian! We are unable to receive the images transmitted by the device, nor can we collect any audio. We cannot even obtain a location lock," the technician reported loudly after seeing the data displayed on his screen.

Hearing this, Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Even though I take this so seriously, I still end up underestimating him. Then we can only wait for the results silently. It is a rather uncomfortable feeling," Sebastian said lightly. He didn't believe there was anything wrong with his device; he was absolutely confident in its construction. Moreover, Aoki had just disappeared and theoretically wasn't far from their location; it was impossible that they couldn't receive information. That left only one possibility: Aoki had used a special method to block the information transmission function. Is it his psychic powers? A truly convenient ability. I wonder if there is a chance for ordinary people to acquire such a capability, Sebastian thought silently to himself.

"Continue with your duties. Do not rely on luck. Gene fusion is our primary research direction right now," he said finally, leading his team away.

The moment the device activated, Aoki felt himself pulled into a strange passage. It felt very similar to his Slowking's Teleport, but the speed of transit was faster, and with the protection of his Slowking's psychic powers, Aoki didn't feel any adverse effects.

There were some distinct differences between Teleport and this form of travel; this spatial transmission felt slower in terms of actual movement. It felt as if an external force was pulling him through an unknown spatial conduit, and he could only use his own psychic powers to envelop his body protectively.

Simultaneously, the friction between his psychic energy and the spatial energy caused Aoki's own powers to slowly become infused with the unique fluctuations of the spatial energy around him. No wonder they not only need a psychic, but a psychic with a specific affinity to spatial energies, he realized.
