Chapter 177 "Handsome Researcher: Don't worry, he's not dead..."
Giovanni's departure signifies that Akagi and his team have achieved final victory in this arduous battle.
But before the joy of victory could spread, a huge mess was laid bare before them.
The suppression helmet on Mewtwo's head had completely shattered and turned into dust.
However, Mewtwo, having escaped its confinement, made no move and remained standing still, like a soulless sculpture.
His eyes, which had been hidden by the helmet, were tightly closed, as if he were still asleep.
Although it remained still, a powerful and unsettling sense of oppression emanated from it, like a tangible tide.
The thick, heavy air permeated the entire damaged rooftop, making it difficult to approach.
As soon as the battle ended, Ash immediately controlled Little Ash and followed Blue and Green towards the crater created by the three legendary birds.
The three of them hurriedly dragged the three sacred birds, who had fallen into a coma, out of the pit.
Quickly pulling out various healing potions and recovery pills, Red began to heal the three legendary Pokémon that had suffered greatly in the fierce battle. Red then controlled Little Red and cautiously approached the handsome researcher who had been watching the battle from the sidelines. Looking at the unstable Mewtwo, Red asked uncertainly:
"Well—handsome researcher, Mewtwo should be alright in its current state, right?"
As he spoke, he summoned all his main Pokémon.
Charizard, Pikachu, Snorlax...
They all appeared in front of Little Naked, staring intently at the silent Mewtwo, in case it suddenly erupted or any unexpected accident occurred.
Although Giovanni, the final boss, has left, Crimson dares not let his guard down for a moment.
After all, Mewtwo's condition looked definitely off. "Handsome Researcher: Don't worry, it's not dead—"
The handsome researcher, with a calm and even enigmatic air about him, patted Xiao Chi on the shoulder.
Just as Crimson's tense nerves were about to relax a little after hearing this, the researcher deliberately changed his tone and slowly added.
"Handsome Researcher: It's just that once its consciousness fully returns, it will most likely go berserk due to loss of control over its power and memory confusion, and then it will flatten this golden city under our feet off the map. Then you'll have to reload and cough again. Anyway, that's the situation."
"Not dead? That's good—wait! Mewtwo went berserk!? And then destroyed the entire Goldenrod City!?"
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Crimson's expression instantly changed, revealing a shocked look as if to say, "Are you kidding me?" Her voice even rose several octaves.
"The three legendary birds are completely incapable of battling now. My Pokémon team isn't high enough level. Even with Ash's team, we still can't beat Mewtwo—are we really going to have to start all over again?!"
The thought of possibly having to challenge that seemingly overpowered Sakaki again made Akane feel dizzy.
His tone instantly took a 180-degree turn, becoming extremely gentle, even carrying a hint of obsequiousness that he himself found awkward.
"Great White Embryo! Handsome researcher! You must have a way, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here!"
"Handsome Researcher: Stop, stop, stop! That's disgusting!"
The handsome researcher waved his hand dismissively, interrupting the crimson prayer.
He pointed to Mew, who had drifted near Mewtwo out of curiosity and was now circling around, tilting its head to examine Mewtwo.
"Handsome Researcher: With Mew around, Mewtwo can't cause much trouble. It's mainly up to you. Have you figured out how to calm Mewtwo down?"
"Me? Oh, this—..."
Chi Hong paused in his speech.
How to appease Mewtwo?
Isn't this making things difficult for honest people?
So, how did he form his bond with Mewtwo back then?
Well, it seems like we just beat it up.
Just as Crimson was deep in thought, trying to search her memory bank for "Mewtwo's affection guide".
嗡-
A powerful surge of psychic energy erupted from Mewtwo's body, spreading and impacting indiscriminately in all directions like an invisible shockwave!
With lightning-fast reflexes, a flash of pink light and she instantly teleported back to the handsome researcher's side.
At the same time, with a wave of her hand, a huge transparent shield instantly unfolded, protecting the researcher, Red, and the nearby Pokémon.
Rumble!
The already dilapidated rooftop was further ravaged by the violent psychic force, as if swept away by a gale.
Debris flew everywhere, cracks spread, and it became even more precarious.
Mewtwo, at the center of the storm, finally—slowly opened its eyes.
A moment of confusion flashed in those purple pupils, which was then replaced by intense mania, bewilderment, and a long-suppressed anger!
It slowly raised its left hand above its head, and its entire body floated up uncontrollably, several meters off the ground.
A terrifying pink superpower was born from nothingness.
It gathered and spun wildly in its palm, forming an ever-expanding energy vortex that exuded a destructive aura!
"Handsome Researcher: Dream, show it your skills, seal it, then transform!"
The handsome researcher was unusually calm, quickly issuing instructions while gently patting Meng Huan's head as if to encourage her.
[Mew~]
She responded playfully, her body tracing a perfect pink semicircle in the air as if she were dancing an elegant ballet.
Whoosh whoosh—
Suddenly, several pink chains made of the purest super-energy shot out from the void!
These chains, as if they possessed a life of their own, swept towards Mew and Mewtwo at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
The moment they made contact, the chains tightly bound and sealed their bodies!
Then, the chains flashed and merged into their bodies!
Not finished yet.
A burst of intense light suddenly erupted from the dreamlike, tiny body!
Its form rapidly expanded and deformed in the light, its outline quickly changed, and finally it froze.
The light faded.
Another Pokémon, identical in appearance, color, and even details to Mewtwo, suddenly appeared on the spot!
It wasn't just the appearance; it was the suffocatingly powerful sense of oppression emanating from the body, and the air around it that was slightly distorted and fluctuated due to the immense energy.
They are exactly the same as the real Mewtwo on the other side!
Before Chihong, Xiaozhi, and the thousands of viewers in the live stream could react to the sudden turn of events...
Mewtwo, transformed from Dream, spreads its arms, and its immense super energy shines once more!
next moment.
Just as he was about to smash the vortex of destructive energy in his hand down at Mewtwo below, he suddenly felt the energy flowing within his body suddenly stop!
It was as if something crucial had been forcibly cut off!
Even the terrifying energy that had already condensed in his palm collapsed and dissipated instantly, like a punctured balloon!
Mewtwo: ? ? ?
Its face displayed an extremely human-like expression of disbelief.
He immediately tried to increase his energy output to break free of the restraints, but after a long time, apart from a slight tremor in his body, he couldn't even fart!
Mewtwo is now completely hated.
Its newly awakened and still chaotic brain was completely unable to comprehend this absurd situation.
Even the turbulent emotions that were churning in his mind were forcibly suppressed by this strange feeling of "being unable to exert his strength".
Instead, there was immense confusion and bewilderment.
Just as it was completely bewildered and trying to figure out what was going on, the mental energy that had been keeping it afloat suddenly disappeared.
With a "plop," it fell solidly back into the large pit where it had been lying before, quite like a wolf or fox.
"Holy crap?! Transformation?! Isn't that Ditto's signature move? How could Mew—wait! It seems to have transformed into Ditto when it first appeared!"
"Transform into Mewtwo? I doubt it! There's only one truth! The handsome researcher has fooled us all! Mewtwo isn't some artificial Pokémon at all! And it's not some kind of transformation move! It's just that Mewtwo is actually the evolved form of Mew!"
Don't you think that light just now looked a lot like the Light of Evolution? Applause if you understand! (Voice cracks)
"Doesn't owning a Mew mean owning all Pokémon? Ah! I love it! I need a Mew strategy guide right now! I can't wait a second longer!!!"
Stop dreaming! Do you know why it's called "Dream"? It's because it's unattainable, like a dream—so—handsome researcher, when are you going to get married?! Why would Dream be by your side?!
"Handsome Researcher: So love disappears, right?"
"Actually, it's not entirely out of reach. Many hardcore players online have discovered that the handsome researcher wasn't initially with Dream. If we're lucky enough to meet Dream before him, anything is possible!"
Mew: You didn't expect that, did you? I'm Mewtwo too! (doge)
"Dream: Didn't expect that, did you? I can lock moves too! (doge)"
The barrage of comments scrolled wildly, filled with exclamations, complaints, memes, and a strong sense of sourness.
Not only the viewers in the live stream, but also Red and Ash at the scene were stunned by the handsome researcher's decisive command. "It transformed into Mewtwo! Just like Ditto! That's amazing! Mew is so strong!"
Ash was completely captivated by Mew's amazing transformation ability; to him, it was simply unbelievable.
The shock factor for Crimson is quite different.
He had seen Mew in real life and knew that Mew did indeed have the ability to transform into other Pokémon.
What shocked him was the combination of moves that Dream possessed, and the almost bug-like effect that this combination exhibited!
He's no novice when it comes to combat; he knows the function of those two moves very well.
The seal is that if you and the opponent's Pokémon have the same move, the opponent cannot use that move.
Transform into the appearance of the opponent's Pokémon and copy all of the opponent's moves.
The combo formed by these two moves is simply unbeatable!
It turns the opponent into a blank slate!
Even Mewtwo, a Pokémon that gave him a headache, was instantly transformed into a "flying" Pokémon that couldn't use any moves.
"That's just... that's outrageous!"
Crimson glanced at the handsome researcher, swallowed unconsciously, and her eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute, handsome researcher, your understanding of Mewtwo is way too deep! You've even developed such an outrageous tactic?!"
It seems that Brother Bai Zhou knows Fantasy Westward Journey very well, and has even mastered the tactics for fighting around Fantasy Westward Journey. This is incredible!
He was about to control Little Red to get closer and ask for advice when the handsome researcher beat him to it and pushed Little Red out of the shield without saying a word.
"Handsome Researcher: Alright, the problem is temporarily resolved. The task of communicating with Mewtwo is now yours."
He paused, then added in a kindly helpful tone.
"Handsome Researcher: Oh, right, although it can't use any moves right now, its physical attributes haven't changed. Theoretically, it can still punch you all the way to the moon, so—be careful with your attitude when communicating."
Upon hearing this, Crimson felt a chill run down his spine.
But the game character had already been released, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Control Red step by step towards Mewtwo, who is slowly standing up from the pit, looking bewildered and annoyed.
"Hello?"
Standing before Mewtwo, he was at a loss for words, his face turning red for a long time before finally managing to utter this dry greeting.
Mewtwo didn't seem to pay much attention to him; its gaze remained fixed on the "imposter" Mew that was standing next to the handsome researcher, seemingly lost in thought.
Just when Chi Hong was so embarrassed that she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes, not knowing what to do next.
Mewtwo suddenly turned its head and gave Red a faint, wary look.
That gaze, calm and undisturbed, yet possessed a profound depth that seemed to see through everything.
Immediately afterwards, a telepathic connection, whose gender was indiscernible and which showed no emotional fluctuations, suddenly arose.
"—That's strange."
"I think I can sense your presence—a very special kind of fluctuation. I don't dislike this feeling. I will come back to you to find out—what exactly is this!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Mewtwo's eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling pink light!
A surge of even stronger psychic power erupted, forcefully breaking through the seals and restraints within his body!
Then, it stopped and transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the sky and disappearing instantly into the azure horizon.
"etc!"
Crimson instinctively cried out, but it was too late.
After Mewtwo disappeared, Mew, who had transformed into "Mewtwo," flashed with light and reverted to its original small and cute pink kitten form.
It nuzzled the handsome researcher's cheek affectionately, making a "Mew~" sound.
Then, it too transformed into a streak of light, flying at an incredible speed towards the slowly setting sun on the horizon, and disappeared.
"Even Dream is gone."
As Chi Hong watched this scene, a strange sense of melancholy arose in his heart.
He wanted to say a few more words, but then he noticed that the handsome researcher had already brought Ash over after he had treated the three legendary birds, with Blue and Green following behind.
Zapdos and Articuno, due to their serious injuries, have returned to their Poké Balls to rest.
Only Moltres, though also injured, insisted on following and walked to Red's side.
After fighting side by side, the proud Moltres has fully acknowledged Red's strength.
It lowered its head and gently rubbed its beak against Little Red's arm, expressing its gratitude and approval.
Then, two magnificent feathers, burning with an inextinguishable blazing flame, drifted gracefully down from its dazzling wings.
They hovered in front of Red and Ash respectively.
"Red and Ash have obtained the Flame Feather!"
"Flame Feather: A magical feather containing the legendary eternal flame, radiating an inextinguishable eternal flame. When a Pokémon holds it, it greatly enhances the power of Fire-type moves. It is a legendary item!"
