The course of the match was also ridiculous.
Ash's Charizard and Gary's Blastoise both reached level 3 in just half a month of training. And... Darkrai's Venusaur is no weaker than them. Do we even need to watch a match between three Elite 3 level 3 players?
Mewtwo's command abilities... well, let's just ignore them.
Mewtwo didn't give many commands when battling Ash and two extras; its victory was entirely due to the strength of its clone.
After all, it's the Rockets' technology; even if they don't reach the elite level, each of them is still quite strong within their class.
It had nothing to do with Mewtwo's command; it was just that the two supporting characters had very poor command abilities, and Blastoise and Venusaur were even weaker, so they were instantly defeated.
Only the old man, that rogue dragon, could hold his own against the clones for a while, but in the end, he was defeated by the Earth.
This time it's different.
Aizen did not deny Mewtwo's idea: humans are not inherently superior to other creatures; superiority or inferiority is determined by the individual, not by an entire species.
If a Pokémon is intelligent enough and has rich battle experience, it can easily become a Pokémon Trainer. In fact, due to their physical advantages, they can even do better than humans.
Clearly, Mewtwo is not one of these.
He himself was only recently born, and relied entirely on the superpowers of a top-tier mythical beast to overwhelm everyone on the field; his combat experience was simply terrible.
This time, the victory was almost instantaneous, but the opponents were reversed.
""
Mewtwo looked at the three fallen starter Pokémon with a subtle expression, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Darkrai wasn't particularly interested in this victory; instead, he stared at Mewtwo and asked Darkrai, "This should also be considered a legendary Pokémon, right? How confident are you in defeating it?"
Darkrai glanced sideways:
Bro N, are you mistaken? I was in such a sorry state just now protecting you, and you think I'm some kind of nightmare god?
Realizing he'd asked a stupid question, Dakdo calmly corrected himself, asking, "How confident are you all if you attack together?"
"If they all attacked together, there were about seven swishes! Swishes! Swishes! One after another, dark balls flew out, and all the Pokémon that tried to escape were frozen in place by Mewtwo's psychic power. Only a few Elite Four level Pokémon were able to barely resist and burrow into their own balls."
Darkrai paused for a moment, then silently replied as he deflected the Dark Ball with his Shadow Ball, "Seven...seventy percent chance of failure."
What happened was that Ash, who had just defeated his opponent, used his verbal attacks in a moment of triumph, which instantly enraged the proud Mewtwo, causing it to lash out.
"Since your elves are stronger, then create clones of them!"
As soon as he shouted those words, dark orbs appeared around Mewtwo, flying out like a shower of petals, freezing one Pokémon after another in their tracks.
All three extras were wiped out, including Brock's Vulpix and Misty's Psyduck. Only Togepi escaped by being stuffed into a bag and having the zipper closed.
Ash was lucky. The Wartortle that had carried people across the river and Charizard stood back to back, using Water and Fire to destroy the Dark Ball. Pikachu used its serpentine movements to keep dodging, which prevented Mewtwo from catching up with it for a while.
A similar situation occurred with Gary's Arcanine; however, Arcanine was too large, so Gary had to quickly recall it during the dodge.
Furthermore, Blastoise and Umbreon, both Elite Four members, used the same method as Charizard, and since they didn't need to protect Wartortle like Charizard did, their teamwork was even easier.
Unfortunately, Gary, who had released all his Pokémon, was unable to recall the other three, which were captured by Mewtwo's Dark Ball.
Darkrai, one of the two Elite Four level Pokémon, remained relatively calm, especially Darkrai, a legendary Pokémon, which handled the situation with relative ease.
But soon, a bizarre turn of events occurred: the ball containing Arcanine and the ball Ash chose to recall Wartortle were both put into a Dark Ball. The Dark Ball's capture of the red and white balls was a jaw-dropping feat.
Even Aizen admired the designer's brilliant idea, but this function was normally useless; however, Mewtwo made it even more popular.
"Useless resistance! The dark sphere I created is omnipotent!"
Having acquired a series of Pokémon, Mewtwo, in a slightly happier mood, once again uttered its "declaration of ignorance."
""
Aizen wanted to remind everyone that the Dark Spheres were a product of Team Rocket; you simply manufactured a batch using machines and data, and it had little to do with you.
He felt there were reasons why Mewtwo would lose.
Three or five sentences, nothing but boasting and empty talk.
What kind of strongest Pokémon trainer is this? What kind of strongest Pokémon is this? What kind of innate ability is stronger than any other Pokémon? What kind of omnipotence does the Dark Ball have? Even Aizen and Giovanni wouldn't dare say that the Dark Ball is omnipotent. If it were that powerful, Giovanni would have already taken the Dark Ball and gone to various regions to find legendary Pokémon to throw at it. What use would Mewtwo be then?
"Why bother with this futile resistance? I'm not going to take your lives. Don't make yourselves look bad."
Upon noticing the resistance from those Elite Four level Pokémon, Mewtwo frowned slightly and spoke.
"They stole our Pokémon! How are we going to get through the storm?!"
"I've lost Gyarados," the fat extra asked angrily.
"No"
"Um"
A suppressed voice drew everyone's attention.
Ash, his face contorted with rage after his Wartortle was taken away, strode forward, shouting, "This is absolutely unforgivable! Aaaaaah!"
All they saw was Ash yelling and charging straight at Mewtwo, a seemingly suicidal act that even terrified Darkrai.
"Are you crazy?! A human challenging a Pokémon of this level with bare hands!" The astonished Mewtwo instinctively used Psychic to send Ash flying. Just as Ash was flying more than 20 meters high, a pink jelly acted as a buffer, stopping him in its tracks.
"What"
Mewtwo, who had initially regretted going too far, looked over in surprise.
Floating in the air, a cute pink creature, whether cat or mouse, gently poked a pink jelly, allowing Ash to land safely on the high structure. Then, it covered its mouth and chuckled.
"Giggle giggle"
"Finally, Ken has appeared, Dream."
Aizen, who had been observing from the sidelines for a while, stepped forward and spoke coldly.
Everyone was stunned at first, then stared wide-eyed at the adorable creature, their eyes wide with shock.
"What a fantasy!!!"
Chapter 222 The Deepest Hidden Dream 17/30
"dream"
Mewtwo was the first to react, its voice filled with complex emotions: "The most precious Pokémon in the world, I was copied from you, but I am stronger than you."
I am the true self, only I can live!
Immediately afterwards, his expression changed, and he condensed shadow balls, continuously hurling them at the Dream.
The dreamlike creature floating in the air chuckled to itself as it dodged, seemingly carefree and happy, as if playing a game.
"To actually run into Dream again, this trip was definitely worthwhile."
Dakdo licked his lips, his aloof expression almost crumbling.
"Don't joke around, we can't beat either of them."
Darkrai reminded him telepathically.
"It's alright, let them fight first."
We'll make our move when the time is right.
Darko, who was trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, did not escape Aizen's attention, but Aizen's attention was not on him at the moment.
The mythical beast man sounds intimidating, and his strength is not weak either.
But, it's just like that.
Back at the Quartz Conference, Aizen had already examined the other party's stats and confirmed then that this guy posed little threat to him.
He was carrying eight Pokémon, and clearly his Poké Balls weren't the regular kind...
Besides Venusaur, there's also a Champion-level Tyranitar.
The remaining six are all mythical beasts, but they are slightly different from the six that netizens guessed in the previous life.
Latios, Latias, Darkrai, Cresselia, and Suicune and Articuno are the next-tier characters from the red and blue versions of Latias and Latios.
Although they weren't grass hedgehogs or Heatran, Aizen found this to be perfectly reasonable.
Darkrai here also comes from the Kanto region. It wouldn't be normal for all the legendary Pokémon to be from Sinnoh, and besides, Heatran isn't strictly speaking a legendary Pokémon.
Or rather, there are no "mythical beasts" in the real world.
This term is generally used to refer to mythical creatures as "legendary spirits."
With a base stat total of 600 in the game, no evolutionary or degenerate forms, and exclusive moves, Heatran is clearly a legendary Pokémon. However, the Pokédex doesn't actually mention that it's a legendary Pokémon, and there's no mention of Heatran having any divine role in the real world.
Even though both Red, Blue, and Water Pokémon have a stat total of 600, they are known as guardian deities. Heatran, in this world, is at most considered a very strong rare Pokémon.
These legendary Pokémon were all at the level of Tier 1 in Darkrope's hands, none of them reaching Champion level. Clearly, even with just a starter Pokémon and a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, this... legendary Pokémon guy couldn't capture a legendary Pokémon holding a divine position. Even the three idiots, the three dogs, and the three toilets were all the same.
At best, he's just an enhanced version of a top-tier player from other regions. If he were placed in the Kanto region, he would get utterly crushed by any top-tier player.
"Stop Mewtwo."
Swish.
Following Aizen's command, the colossal creature that appeared beside him unleashed both an Ice Beam and a Thunderbolt to defend against Mewtwo's Shadow Ball.
This is one of Giovanni's two trump cards, Aggron! Of course, Aizen knew very well that Aggron couldn't hold out for long, but the difference between the two wasn't exaggerated enough to be a one-hit kill. Just look at the difference between Hitsugaya Toshiro and Kyoraku Shunsui when they first appeared.
Mewtwo, who had stopped playing hide-and-seek, stared at Aizen with curious eyes, wondering what he wanted to see her for.
Aizen casually released Beedrill to protect himself, mainly to keep an eye on Darkrai. He then turned his gaze to Mew and chuckled, "Mew, the most precious Pokémon—no, in my opinion, the strongest Pokémon. With the genes of all Pokémon, you can even transform into legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza and Lugia."
Aside from Arceus, whom you can transform into, perhaps only characters like Kyurem and Necrozma are beyond your ability to transform into.
""
Zuo You: The dreamlike body that had been floating around suddenly stiffened, and for a moment the gaze directed at Aizen was filled with a sense of oppression.
In just one second, it transformed back into an adorable, harmless creature.
If it were someone else, they might have taken it as an illusion.
But Aizen wouldn't.
Even without a systematic investigation, his intuition and wisdom told him that the dream was not simple.
In the original storyline alone, the phrase "This is who I am" is used.
Such words that provoke Mewtwo and encourage other Pokémon to decide the outcome through melee combat demonstrate that his mind is far more mature than he appears.
This is not the most important point in Aizen's judgment.
Think about how Mewtwo was born—a Pokémon bred by incorporating the genes of Mew and absorbing the genes of other Pokémon.
So here's the question: Mew itself possesses the genes of almost all Pokémon, except for a very few like Arceus, and it even has the genes of Ho-Oh and Lugia.
Team Rocket might be able to obtain the genes of lesser legendary Pokémon like Zapdos and Raikou with some effort, but acquiring genes that Mew doesn't possess is practically impossible! So, other mixed-in genes are merely fillers to supplement Mew's insufficient gene pool.
This is just like diluting liquor with water.
Those scientists thought they were creating a better-tasting "new wine".
In reality, they just made a "fake wine".
Mewtwo, whose genes are primarily derived from Mew, is at most a weakened version of Generation II Mew. So why does Mewtwo have a base stat total of 680, while Mew, this… “Mythical Pokémon”…
Only 600.
According to Mew's lore, Aizen had no doubt that Mew's base stats could even surpass Kyurem's, second only to Arceus.
But the truth might be even more terrifying than imagined! Dream's strength: + Talent: Ability: All of the Pokémon's skills are fake, and all of the Pokémon's skills are sealed. Aizen isn't an idiot. Putting aside the issue of strength, he could probably understand something just from the question of whether the abilities are real or fake.
The so-called "fake"
It's probably just all the standard skills, but "true"...
These are probably the "exclusive divine skills" of each mythical beast.
Does this include Arceus's "Pebble of Retribution"?
It's uncertain, but he thinks Mew probably knows moves like Groudon's Precipice Blade and Lugia's Aerial Blast.
Without seeing it with my own eyes, it's truly hard to believe that this little guy is stronger than my own body.
What exactly do you want to ask?
A dreamlike, slightly cold voice suddenly echoed in Aizen's heart.
Aizen's lips curled into a smile, and he asked directly, "The truth of this world."
