Chapter 948: The Dog? Red… Who is it?!_1

France, Paris, Starwatch Tower.

This is a landmark building in Paris, said to be the place closest to the stars.

The Starwatch Tower not only has a very important historic significance in France but even in the entire world, its existence is extraordinarily remarkable.

Because its master is the world-renowned astrologer and prophetess, Lady Zi Wan.

This is where Master Zi Wan makes her prophecies. In this place, both the First Generation Aster, who gained the power of prophecy from the Wishing Star Kirac, and the Second Generation Zi Wan, who inherited the prophetic abilities of the First Generation, have foretold numerous major disasters that could change the world and the course of nations.

With such status, no one dares to defile this place, only profound respect is bestowed.

This day.

Antonio, the Honorary President of the Pokémon Alliance, made a proactive visit to the Starwatch Tower.

In this era when legends arrive, the prophecies of Master Zi Wan are too important for the Pokémon Alliance.

However.

Although Master Zi Wan's prophecies are very accurate, occasionally, some things are missed. After all, Master Zi Wan's energies are limited; it's impossible for her to foresee every single disaster clearly.

For instance, the arrival of Mewtwo was not among the many prophecies made by Master Zi Wan.

President Antonio's visit this time was mainly aimed at seeking Master Zi Wan's prophecy about the course of the Mewtwo game.

"You are Clemens, aren't you?"

"Yes, Chairman Antonio, please follow me."

After arriving at the Starwatch Tower, Antonio, an old man with a goat's beard, was received by a young woman with bright golden blonde hair, dressed in something resembling a magic robe.

Clemens, the French Superpower King, disciple of Master Zi Wan.

Antonio had some impression of her, but what stuck with him the most was that she was to become the Third Generation Anemone.

Following Clemens into the Starwatch Tower, and having walked for a while in its darkness akin to the starry sky with twinkling stars around, Antonio saw the Second Generation Lilac Master sitting in a chair.

Currently, the Master had her eyes closed, her face full of wrinkles, and her hair already gray.

Her age was not that great; these were all sequelae from prophesying too much.

If it were not for something extremely important, Antonio would not have wanted to trouble Master Zi Wan at all. In recent years, due to the successive confirmations of the "Aster Prophecy" made by the First Generation, the Second Generation had overdrawn too much power to predict the specific timing of subsequent disasters.

She probably didn't have many years left to live.

But... the Mewtwo game was a matter of great importance. The threat posed by Mewtwo, the Pokémon, was by no means smaller than that of the Legendary Pokémon that had already appeared. No matter how the game ended, the final outcome was not something the Alliance could control. Thus, he had to seek Master Zi Wan's help, to look for a ray of hope to break the situation.

"Don't worry, I'm not so easy to die, and even if I do, Clemens can continue as the Third Generation Aster. The legacy will not be broken," said the Second Generation Lilac Master softly, sitting in her chair.

"Sigh."

Antonio sighed inwardly. The superpower bestowed upon the Aster lineage by the Wishing Star had undoubtedly played a significant role in the development of humanity, but for these descendants, it was their sacrifice.

"Before you came, I had already made a prophecy regarding the Mewtwo game you mentioned earlier."

"What's the result?" Antonio asked urgently.

Master Zi Wan thought of the scenes of warfare she saw during the prophecy, stayed silent for a long time, and then said, "The arrival of Mewtwo is indeed a disaster."

"The so-called Mewtwo game will hardly solve anything."

That the Mewtwo game couldn't solve much was something Antonio, of course, understood. Even if one of the nations won, trainers would still have no means against Mewtwo, given that no one could contend with Mewtwo's own strength. This led to the fact that even if Mewtwo adhered to the game rules, it would merely treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and who knows what the distant future holds.

And if both nations lost, then the situation would be even worse because humans couldn't possibly adhere to the rules, so much so that Mewtwo could even claim the moral high ground and directly wage war.

Perhaps, this was the scene Mewtwo wished to see.

"I have prophesied that a great battle will soon take place on the secret island known as 'Hualan.'"

"This battle, no less significant than the legendary wars, will lead to the destruction of the entire island. In this disaster, Hualan Island may perish."

"This battle is the true decisive event that will determine the final outcome. Cough... cough..."

After Master Zi Wan finished speaking, a shiver went through Antonio's heart. It seemed inevitable to have an outright battle with Mewtwo.

But relying on the current forces of the two nations, it would likely be difficult to stand against Mewtwo.

It only remained to try and invite several of the top Guardian Gods from the League of Divine Realm...

It's unclear, though, whether they are willing to help humanity against Mewtwo...

Master Zi Wan's words were not yet finished when she added, "Besides, during the process of prophecy, my power was interfered with by two unknown forces."

"One was a pair of bright yet pitch-dark eyes, as if they could peer into the future, discovering me in the midst of prophecy across time, and nearly, I was almost devoured by it. The other force... helped me block the gaze of those eyes."

Zi Wan was greatly shocked at that time because even when she prophesied Groudon and Kyogre, such an event had never occurred before.

These two unknown forces... she suspected, one of them belonged to Mewtwo, and the other could possibly be the power of the Wishing Star Kirac or a Pokémon's power that was no less formidable than Kirac's...

"Therefore, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this prophecy. This situation is unprecedented. You should be mentally prepared for many surprises in the upcoming Mewtwo game... please be sure to prepare in advance," she concluded.

......

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had already taken Old Wang's soul and boarded Dragon Island with the Cloud part of the twelve branches.

At the moment, as the Mewtwo game approached, the Huge Gyro Dragon was pushing Dragon Island towards the direction of Hualan Island.

The hundred-meter-tall Huge Gyro Dragon, whether in terms of defensive power, physical strength, or the destructive power of its moves, was still above that of the Guardian God Level Blastoise. The only downside may be its size; it's essentially a live target.

Standing atop Dragon Island, Fang Yuan could see the massive figure through the mist. By his side, Haha Qilong could also clearly see its idol.

In another space-time, Fang Yuan and the rest had already encountered the Huge Gyro Dragon once and had even challenged it. At that time, Fang Yuan hadn't participated in the World Championship, lacking top-level combat power, so the outcome was pretty obvious — they were all like scraping therapists.

But now, one could say that their strength had undergone a qualitative change. Milotic could unleash a Blizzard, and although it couldn't severely injure the Huge Gyro Dragon, it could still cause frostbite to some of its scales.

And as for Eevee and the others, they already had the potential to severely wound the Huge Gyro Dragon. Together with Victini, they had the capability to fight on equal terms.

"I wonder how strong the Huge Gyro Dragon would become after completely mastering the Super Ancient Power..." Currently, Fang Yuan had no intention of disturbing the Huge Gyro Dragon, not even planning to tell it about bringing the Super Ancient power system.

With the Mewtwo game imminent and time pressing, it was better to prepare for the Mewtwo game first. The Huge Gyro Dragon rarely awakened, so might as well let it wander around a bit longer.

"Let's go see the Quick Dragon Elder," said the Cloud part of the twelve branches.

"Let's go," sighed Fang Yuan.

Crossing through space-time is really difficult... Quick Dragon Elder, huh... I've already farmed for good affection before, and now I have to start from scratch again.

"Booowoo!!" Right now, the most panicked one was the dragon itself.

Meeting the Quick Dragon Elder meant it could see its parallel universe self!

Truly, it wanted its parallel self to escape the nightmare of sleepwalking; however, it was very worried that its alternative self might see Milotic and then start competing for it!

Therefore, it was determined to keep a close eye on Fang Yuan and prevent him from releasing Milotic on the island.

Otherwise, trouble would ensue.

Rescue is rescue, Darkrai can go by itself.

......

On the other hand, for the Mewtwo game, the top-level combat powers from both China and Japan had almost all assembled and started heading to Hualan Island in batches.

To stabilize the hearts of the Trainers in their countries, the Presidents of the Trainer Associations made a joint appearance to announce the teams participating in the Mewtwo game.

For instance, Fujiwara, President of the Ri Association, was ready to lead the team himself, joining hands with five of the strongest ten trainers in Japan, who were known as the "Ten Ninjas," and heading to Hualan Island together.

In China, President Wen also made a public appearance to announce the lineup.

When the old man with silver-gray long curly hair, wearing a pair of glasses and a friendly smile, appeared on the screens of major channels, the trainers of China felt at ease.

Some of the older generation trainers were even very excited because the older they were, the more they knew about the old man's strength. Since the founding of the China Trainer Association, President Wen was the strongest and most reliable trainer. He had led the China Association through many difficulties. With him there, many believed that the Mewtwo game was not an insurmountable challenge.

Because to this day, the title of the strongest trainer in China was still held by President Wen.

"Our team must be led by President Wen," said trainers from various regions of China upon seeing President Wen.

"With his leadership, I'm sure we're in good shape. I can't see how we could lose," a young man familiar with President Wen's feats chimed in.

At this moment in the live broadcast on television, President Wen became the focus of everyone's attention, with all eyes on him.

The Ri Association had already announced its competing lineup, with the president leading the team, and with five of the Ten Ninjas, it's likely that their close Guardian Gods would also go along, providing enough reassurance to the trainers of Japan.

And now, the trainers in China also needed a reassuring pill, needing to know the stance of the China Association.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for President Wen to make the announcement.

Finally, President Wen spoke calmly:

"For the incident on Hualan Island, I will join with six of the top trainers from the twelve branches of the Association to participate in the game hosted by Mewtwo."

While the Mewtwo game is important, it wouldn't make much sense to deploy all the top combat forces for just one Mewtwo game. Mobilizing more than half of the combat force along with the Guardian God Level combat power would suffice.

Because during this period, some top combat force was still needed to be stationed at home.

The number did not surprise everyone; it already signaled the Association's stance. If the final outcome was unfavorable... it would probably lead to conflict.

President Wen continued:

"They are Rat Kuei, Tiger Pay Black, Rooster-Xu Yifeng, Dragon Cloud, Wei Yang Qiao Jing, and... The Twelve of Dog, Red."

The names of the first five people were familiar to many trainers.

But.

The sixth person...

Red?

As President Wen finished speaking, many trainers were stunned.

Wasn't the twelve branches of Dog vacant?

Red... who is that?

Is there a trainer named that?
