Aron, which even devour metal, can eat and destroy enemy ships in an instant.

Deciding to include flavor text that fits the set, rather than blandly copies from the ingame Pokedex descriptions was a good idea…
neglecting to proofread said flavor text, however, was not a very good idea.

OR it could be that the plural of Aron is Aron.

I see what you did there…

Yeah I’m not sure what the perceived error is in the flavor text is here. If you do indeed mean it saying Aron instead of Arons, I’m fairly certain the official pluralization of all Pokemon names is the same as the singular. Ex: One Aron vs many Aron.

Sets that maintain an aesthetic theme with the content and settings are pretty common, but Double Crisis stands out having a consistent theme in its art style in general. Almost all illustrations in the set use very heavy contrast, with much starker blacks and almost exclusively relying on blues, reds, and oranges for colors.
This art in particular makes use of the western comic-style stippling with the exclamation point, which inclines me to believe the art direction explicitly called for a “western comic style” with the artwork — this heavy reliance on black being particularly associated with the silver age of comic books.

Definitely agree that there’s an intentional homage to western comics of a certain era.
Not all artists were able to perfectly fit their artstyle to the presumed direction, but most did pretty well. I think kawayoo is a case of a very interesting adaptation along these lines – rather than try to adopt a comic book artstyle, he seems to be emulating the artstyle used on a lot of covers for paperbacks (i.e. “pulp fiction” and the like).
