Inside the Fang Yuan Institute.
With the appearance of Mewtwo, a standoff ensued between Mew and Mewtwo.
Beads of sweat the size of beans trickled down from Mew's head.
After listening to Fang Yuan's account of Mewtwo's origins and understanding that Mewtwo was a problematic character, Mew absolutely did not want to encounter Mewtwo.
However, the next second, did Fang Yuan actually release Mewtwo from the Poké Ball??
At that moment, Mew's mind went blank, feeling the intense battle intent and killing intent coming from Mewtwo, causing some panic within its heart.
Mew had never encountered such intense killing intent before... it was innocent.
In fact, it wasn't Mewtwo's fault, as it currently had no desire to kill Mew anymore.
The killing intent it was exhibiting was simply due to the fact that human scientists intentionally created Mewtwo to be the strongest battle weapon during its creation. Mew's genes were completely recombined into the Destruction Gene, designed solely for destruction, granting Mewtwo an innate talent for killing and destruction, these vibes involuntarily seeping out.
Luckily, Mewtwo also gained intelligence and rationality comparable to humans, as well as the ability to think, which prevented it from being dominated by the drive to kill and destroy.
Even more so, Mewtwo could merge killing intent with Confusion to form an even more terrifying method of oppression—what Mew was currently experiencing.
"Mew..."
But no matter what Mewtwo was thinking, just from a clash of gazes, Mew knew that Mewtwo would be exceptionally troublesome, causing its mindset to collapse with an urge to leave immediately.
"You are Mew, aren't you?"
Mewtwo's cold voice came across, its gaze firmly Locking On to Mew.
Although it had undergone a change of heart, Mewtwo still felt a strong desire to defeat Mew and prove itself!
It aimed to become the most powerful Pokemon, and first and foremost, it had to defeat Mew.
"Mew!!! (I am not, I didn't!)" Mew vehemently denied in succession, shaking its head vigorously.
"You are Mew!" Mewtwo frowned, aware of what Mew looked like.
Most importantly, it couldn't see through Mew's strength, which meant that the opponent's strength might very well exceed its own. Who else could it be but Mew, no wonder Fang Yuan said he might not be able to defeat Mew. However, the more this was the case, the more excited Mewtwo became, its killing intent and momentum involuntarily growing stronger.
Suddenly, due to Mewtwo's inner strife, different levels of tremors erupted both inside and outside the Fang Yuan Institute. Starting with a slight trembling of the ground and followed by the skies above Sun and Moon Forest thundering due to Mewtwo's willpower, dense Dark Clouds began to roll in.
Whether it was the Thousand-year Gengar within Sun and Moon Forest or Luo Kuo from the Fossil Reserve, beholding such changes, all showed grave expressions and looked toward the direction of the institute.
"Mewtwo."
To prevent Mewtwo from going berserk, Fang Yuan placed his hand directly on Mewtwo's shoulder, and upon hearing Fang Yuan's call, Mewtwo diffused its momentum. However, its gaze remained firmly locked onto Mew, making Mew feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Mew..." Mew didn't look at Mewtwo but instead turned towards Fang Yuan.
Looking at Mew's fiercely staring eyes, Fang Yuan could only meet them with an innocent expression, saying, "I haven't finished telling you... about Mewtwo's game. I'll also tell you now."
"Mew!" Mew grudgingly expressed its disinterest in listening, but its ears obediently tuned in.
Next, Fang Yuan recounted to Mew the process of Mewtwo's game and the battle he had with Mewtwo.
After the explanation, Mew understood that this jerk Fang Yuan had successfully persuaded the Pokemon known as Mewtwo.
Now, Mewtwo harbored less hostility towards humans and "Mew."
That was also why Fang Yuan dared to take Mewtwo with him, keep it by his side, and bring it to Mew.
Mew practically listened to the entire story with tears streaming down its face, entirely out of anger. Although it recognized that it was good news, Mew couldn't bring itself to feel happy.
From its perspective... Fang Yuan had just brought a huge problem home for it!
Ahhh, Fang Yuan hadn't given it any time to prepare mentally, and just sold it out directly.
Now, for Mew, perhaps the only good news was that Mewtwo's goal was no longer to "kill it."
Despite this consolation, upon glancing back at Mewtwo and seeing its cold gaze, Mew couldn't help but shudder.
"Mew..." Mew cautiously looked at Mewtwo, posing its questions.
Can I refuse your challenge?
I give up, is that possible?
Mew really didn't want to battle this character; it found no joy in such a fight.
Most importantly, it didn't know how to face this Pokemon cloned from Mew's genes.
Mewtwo... definitely did not seem easy to get along with at all!!
"Refuse?"
Mewtwo gazed at Mew as if it had anticipated the rejection of its challenge, expressionlessly lifting its hand.
Mew: Hmm, meow meow meow??
The next second, three different types of Arceus Stone Tablets appeared out of thin air, floating behind Mewtwo.
"These tablets are what you want, aren't they?" Mewtwo's voice slowly rang out.
Seeing the tablets, Mew's eyes widened immediately.
Mewtwo continued, "Accept the fight, and these tablets will be yours."
"Or do you not wish to possess them?"
Mew: ???
Mew: ???
Why do you have Arceus's tablets???
Mew's eyes bulged out suddenly, turning fiercely to look for Fang Yuan, huh, where's Fang Yuan?
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan had disappeared without a trace.
Upstairs, where Fang Yuan was looking for something to eat, his voice came over, "…Mew, these tablets were found by Mewtwo for me, I really couldn't do anything about it…"
"Mew…" Mew was stunned.
Then, it turned its hopeful eyes towards Mewtwo.
And Mewtwo, too, coldly nodded.
"Mew!!!!!" Mew, frustrated, thought, trust you guys my ass, it's definitely some crappy idea Fang Yuan came up with.
Doesn't it know Fang Yuan well enough by now?
Having been worried about Fang Yuan, Mew now wished Fang Yuan would stay in a parallel universe and never come back.
To think he'd use the tablets to blackmail it, damn Fang Yuan.
Mew's hand... slowly reached out towards the tablets.
The next second, the tablets were retracted by Mewtwo.
Mew: "......"
Mewtwo: "Do you want to fight?"
Mew: "......"
Mew wiped away tears, feeling wronged, pitiful, weak, and helpless.
It almost started to cry for real.
The tablets…
Mew was so tired at heart.
"You really don't want to accept the fight, no matter what?"
Across from Mew, Mewtwo frowned as it watched this spectacle, the disparity with the Mew it remembered was significant. After looking at Mew's pitiable state for a long time, Mewtwo shook its head and slowly turned around.
It couldn't bear to watch anymore.
As it turned, Mewtwo waved its hand, and the three tablets fell beside Mew.
"Forget it, I'll give them back to you. Right now, I might not be a match for you. I hope that later on, you will accept my challenge. It is my only wish now, thank you."
Mewtwo left the house without looking back, planning to take a look at the outside world.
Only Mew was left inside the house, staring dumbfounded at the three tablets beside it. Mewtwo had just handed over the tablets to it like that??
Mew looked at the departing figure of Mewtwo, quite surprised. This guy didn't seem as cold and distant as he appeared to be.
"Eh…" Even Fang Yuan upstairs didn't expect Mewtwo to decisively give the tablets to Mew, showing a look of surprise on his face.
Mewtwo really has changed a lot.
"Mew…" Meanwhile, Mew quickly collected the tablets with mixed feelings, then glared fiercely towards the second floor. Sure enough, this rotten idea had to be Fang Yuan's doing; even the worst Pokémon wouldn't think of such threatening tactics, the only bad guy from start to finish was Fang Yuan.
Dammit.
Mew had to come up with a plan to team up with Celebi and send Fang Yuan to work in another parallel universe as soon as possible—the quicker, the better.
Otherwise, Mew didn't know how the Mew from the other universe died, but in this universe, it was sure to be pissed to death by Fang Yuan.
