While Fang Yuan and his companions battled the Electric God Pillar.
On Hualan Island in the Pacific Ocean area, Mewtwo had already completely transformed the island.
Standing atop the high-tech castle it had constructed, the silver-bodied Mewtwo gazed at the sky with its black pupils, lost in meditation.
After having destroyed the base of an organization known as Rocket Team, its original plan had been to return to its birthplace, New Island.
However, during the journey, it unexpectedly discovered signs of space-time collapse around New Island and stumbled into this place.
After arriving here, Mewtwo began exploring but soon found that there was no essential difference between this place and its original environment.
Humans manipulated Pokémon, human-raised Pokémon oppressed wild ones… The atmosphere was still as repugnant to it.
Mewtwo decided to start changing everything from here.
Therefore,
Mewtwo took control of a secret location island that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, first altering the memory of the island's manager, then rewriting the island's defense system, trapping the 600,000 residents and taking them as hostages.
Using these hostages, it sent letters of warning to Trainers all over the nation.
Mewtwo's declaration plunged the world into an endless abyss of terror, and its intentions were nothing short of announcing the start of a second demonic beast war.
"Three more days."
Above the castle, Mewtwo watched the city that had fallen into panic yet dared not make a sound, its determined gaze carrying a touch of bewilderment.
Was what it was doing correct?
From the beginning of its existence, Mewtwo had been filled with uncertainty, constantly pondering questions of existence such as "Who am I, why am I here, what is the purpose of my being?"
Through its own observations, and the experience of being used by Rocket Team, Mewtwo had tentatively found the things it wanted to achieve.
To battle Dream and prove that it was the strongest and the original.
And to liberate Pokémon from the enslavement of humans.
However, what bewildered Mewtwo was that when it attempted to liberate Pokémon from the island, something unexpected happened.
While some Pokémon left their Trainers without any reluctance upon being liberated, a significant number chose to follow human orders even after being freed from the restraint of Poké Balls, something Mewtwo could not fathom.
What was it about humans that made them worth lingering for?
Unable to understand, Mewtwo snorted coldly and teleported back to its base.
At that moment, it passed by a screen and its brow furrowed slightly.
This was the surveillance room.
However, it was not monitoring the situation on the island but instead watching certain developments within Hua Nation and Japan.
As the "Strongest Elf," Mewtwo possessed many super abilities such as manipulating weather, creating matter with its mind, reversing time, altering memories, controlling the thoughts of others… and its capabilities to modify technology far exceeded those of humans, making it arguably the most perfect Pokémon.
Having initiated the "Mewtwo Game," it had always been cautious of humans, fearful that they might indiscriminately attack Hualan Island or engage in some conspiracy. It was not afraid for itself, but for the Pokémon that chose to follow it, who could not easily escape large-scale destructive weapons.
Mewtwo was clearly overthinking, considering there were still so many hostages on the island. However, this process allowed Mewtwo to gain a clearer understanding of the military capabilities of the two nations.
At this time, neither nation's Association was aware that all their hidden resources had already been thoroughly investigated by Mewtwo.
This was why Mewtwo dared to hold the Mewtwo Game, confident that even with support from outside, the Trainers from the two nations would not be able to defeat the Pokémon that followed it.
"Who is this person?"
The scene before Mewtwo at this moment was the biggest recent event in Hua Nation, the Electric God Pillar invasion incident.
The general public was still unaware of this matter, but Mewtwo had already intercepted part of the video footage of Hua Nation's Association's confrontation with the Electric God Pillar through the internal network of the China Association.
Mewtwo looked at the images of Monferno fighting fiercely against the Electric God Pillar and Fang Yuan's silhouette, a confused expression on its face.
Among the many top-level combat forces of the China Association it had committed to memory, this person shouldn't have existed…
However, this person was genuinely engaged in combat with the Electric God Pillar, whose strength was quite decent.
"A fish that slipped through the net?"
"Or is he the opponent's hidden weapon?"
Mewtwo watched the frail Monferno being knocked back time after time in the footage and shook its head, deciding it was pointless; if it couldn't even defeat an Electric God Pillar of such modest strength, there was no way it could threaten the outcome of Mewtwo's game.
Having dismissed Fang Yuan and Monferno, Mewtwo left immediately. There was nothing much happening on China's side, mostly just the gathering of forces, which didn't concern it much. Instead, it was Japan's constant scheming that needed its close attention.
......
"Don't run!!!"
At this point, Fang Yuan and his team were completely unaware that they had been noticed by Mewtwo and written off as "weak," as they were busy profiting from the chaos.
After breaking away from the original battlefield, Fang Yuan's Pokemons, including Armed Magnetic Monster, Darkrai, and Eevee, were in hot pursuit of the Electric God Pillar.
"Aaargh!!!"
The Electric God Pillar flew ahead frantically; it was seeking the help of the Dragon Pillar!
By the way, it was also looking to unseal its three other God Pillar brothers.
Once together, the five brothers could combine their efforts; it didn't believe Fang Yuan could remain so arrogant.
Meanwhile,
President Wen and the others, discussing the situation while very slowly making their way toward the Dragon Pillar, suddenly became extremely alert.
The Pokemons around them were immediately ready to defend.
However, what they sensed was not danger, but rather a Pokemon passing by.
"Aaaahaah!!!"
The next second, a golden streak of light passed by, leaving the trio bewildered; it looked so familiar…
Why did it look so much like the Electric God Pillar??
That couldn't be right; the Electric God Pillar should be fighting with Fang Yuan.
Immediately after, a voice reached them, making the corners of their mouths twitch.
"Ah, President Wen?? What are you doing here? Hurry up... the Electric God Pillar has fled!!"
Fang Yuan followed close behind the golden flash of the Electric God Pillar, passing by and spotting President Wen and the others, rendering him speechless.
They had left so much earlier, yet had only covered such a short distance.
Even accounting for extreme caution and carefulness, how could they have only gotten this far by now…
President Wen and his colleagues were also left speechless looking at Fang Yuan, thinking, "Holy crap, so that really was the Electric God Pillar just now??"
How vicious must you be to drive a Legendary Pokémon to flee??!
Their expressions grew odd; they wanted to know exactly what had happened.
"No time to talk, I need to chase it down," said Fang Yuan, not daring to delay any further. Right now, he was barely keeping up by virtue of Victini boosting Dragonite's Extreme Speed. Any more delaying, and the Legend Resources would truly be gone.
"Dragonite, charge!!"
Dragonite: (#`O′) bwoo...
