"You... found Arceus?" asked Mewtwo with a hint of surprise.
This was indeed something she hadn't expected. After all, the Creation God that she had searched for a long time without seeing it was just found by Rope?
Also, what was the so-called 'bridge' that Rope was talking about?
This, perhaps, was also the meaning of her existence.
A hint of eagerness appeared on Mewtwo's face.
Rope shrugged, ''I didn't go to him, he came to me. And still set up to set me up."
Red rolled her eyes decisively, and Daisy looked at Mewtwo with some concern.
Wouldn't Mewtwo feel a little hard done by? She had been looking for Arceus for so long, and it turned out that Rope hadn't even looked for Arceus, and Arceus had come to him. The difference in treatment couldn't be more obvious.
If you ask Mewtwo if it's hard, it must be quite hard.
You say we are all non-humans, why do you treat us so differently?
Actually, this really can't be blamed on Arceus. First of all, Rope is indeed more active in front of Legendary Pokémon. Secondly, Arceus is enough to arrange the unification of Legendary Pokémon. What he needs is a guy who can communicate normally with humans.
And between Rope and Mewtwo, naturally Rope is the better choice.
For that matter, Arceus' choice of Rope over Mewtwo was naturally inexcusable.
"But, Mewtwo, you won't achieve your goal by seeking out Arceus." Rope took a sip of the tree fruit juice, then shook his head and spoke.
Mewtwo looked back, then at Rope, momentarily puzzled.
"Something like meaning is never something that can be given by others. What meaning requires is one's own clarity. Whether it is needed or not. Meaning is something you have to find on your own."
Rope said rather helplessly. In fact, this kind of thing would naturally be understood after experiencing it more, while those who hadn't experienced it, preaching more would just be vain axioms and chicken soup for the soul.
"I'm well aware of your confusion and helplessness."
Rope looked at Mewtwo.
"We are kindred spirits.Mewtwo, both are things that should never have existed in this world."
"But since we already exist on this we, then our lives have meaning in and of themselves. The confusion you're feeling right now is just confusion about where you fit in."
"Go travel, Mewtwo, and find it. Until you find it, or no longer need it."
Rope said so with a smile.
Mewtwo looked at Rope's face, slightly lost in thought, she didn't realize what struggles and confusion Rope had gone through. But the current Rope gave her the feeling of a reliable senior.
"I understand, and I will continue my journey."
After a moment, Mewtwo nodded.
"That's good, in fact, things are not complicated in the first place. If you travel more, you will naturally have your own answers."
Rope nodded, then said, "Let's all drink, it'll get cold if we don't."
So the crowd each picked up their own cups and silently drank the drink in their cups.
The flavor tastes itself, and the coldness knows itself.
This is how things in the world are supposed to be.
————————————————
Mewtwo left shortly thereafter.
Red also said goodbye and went back to Mt. Silver to stay in seclusion. Blue also planned to go to Viridian City to take a look at his gym. Daisy went to see Professor Oak, while Whitley went to have supper with Eri and Yutsuki. It must be said that the friendship of these three girls really surprised Rope. How did they get such a good relationship in such a short time?
"Why don't you ask her directly?" Cynthia asked puzzledly after hearing what Rope said.
"Why don't you just ask her then?" Cynthia asked suspiciously after hearing this from Rope.
"I asked." Rope looked bemused, "She said I didn't understand."
"I said 'how do you know I don't understand if you don't say so' and she said 'saying you don't understand means you don't understand'. Then I didn't want to talk."
Rope had a hopeless expression on his face. Completely missing was the look of spontaneity and transcendence as if she had seen through the world when she had just chatted with Mewtwo.
Cynthia laughed out loud when she saw this expression on Rope's face, and then handed the last cup she had washed in her hand to Rope, who put the cup in the cupboard and then closed the cupboard door.
"Wasn't what you just said to Mewtwo really a snub to her?"
Cynthia was still quite puzzled, after all, what Rope had just said really just all made quite a bit of sense. It was as if it was a life coach's maxim.
But Cynthia carefully recalled Rope's words.
He seemed to be telling Mewtwo from the beginning to the end:
"Travel away! Maiden! The journey will bring you the answers you seek!"
Rope shook his head and sat down on the couch helplessly, "It's not like I'm doing me any favors by snubbing her. Like I said, Mewtwo and I count as kindred spirits. Both guys who hover at the line between human and Pokémon."
Cynthia sat down next to him, then rested her head on his shoulder, then asked, "So why don't you just tell her what the so-called 'bridge' is? That's the best 'meaning' for her, right?"
Cynthia naturally knew what a bridge meant, but Rope hadn't said what a bridge meant in the middle of her exchange with Mewtwo.
Mewtwo was so fooled by Rope that she even forgot to ask for a moment.
At that time, everyone here knew the meaning of the bridge, but Rope did not mention it, so everyone thought he had some deep meaning and did not ask.
Rope scratched his head and said, "The problem is that with Mewtwo's current state of mind she's not fit to be a bridge."
"What do you mean?" Cynthia asked.
"Bridges are by their own position. My basic stance would definitely be on the side of humanity. That's why I am in need of a comrade who stands on the side of Pokémon. But the current Mewtwo... has no stance." Rope said with a bit of a headache.
He could also only say that parallel worlds had no wonders, and the Mewtwo of this world, had not reversed or awakened. Instead, he was still living in confusion and wandering in the world.
"Is that why you went to prepare the drink yourself?"
"No, there's no reason, it's just that I wanted to get my hands on a whole drink for everyone because everyone was there." Rope spoke simply. In fact, the reason was the same, it wasn't a big deal in the first place. Rope did it on a whim.
Doing anything with a deeper meaning... how exhausting!
Cynthia didn't expect this answer from Rope. But after a few moments, she smiled and said, "That's not so bad.
Why think so much about everything?
"But Mewtwo would be more interested in blending in with the humans right now."
Rope spoke up coldly.
"Because she wants coffee?"
Cynthia leaned against Rope's shoulder and didn't look up.
Rope nodded and said, "I know she has the body and strength of a Legendary Pokémon, but she actually thinks more like a human."
After a pause, Rope said helplessly, "Unfortunately, she doesn't look like a human... it's impossible for humans to accept her. Humans, are such shallow creatures."
