Chapter 957 Mewtwo's Game Over_1

"Monferno..."

Everyone was no stranger to Monferno.

In fact, the Pokémon that symbolized Fang Yuan to the public was none other than Monferno.

It was through commanding Monferno in a battle against the Electric God Pillar that he became well-known.

At this moment, seeing Monferno, the crowd couldn't help but feel not joy but rather, their faces turned pale.

Because, facing just an Electric God Pillar, Monferno had only managed to make its opponent give up the battle by sheer willpower.

And now, facing a stronger Legendary Pokémon, Latios, with an attribute restraint against it... no matter how you thought about it, everyone couldn't believe Monferno could win.

Even people like President Wen didn't know the extent of Monferno's ultimate strength and were all taken aback at this moment.

They thought that apart from Eevee, Fang Yuan would send out Darkrai, capable of instantly defeating a high-level Guardian.

But to their surprise, it was Monferno.

"Maybe he's planning to use Monferno to wear the other side down a bit. That way, it'll be easier for Darkrai to reap the victory," they speculated.

In terms of strength, they still believed that Darkrai was the strongest, being a Phantom Pokémon after all.

Thinking this way, President Wen and the others suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Wait, in that case, it seemed like the humans' chances of victory suddenly increased.

Maybe... it truly could work!!

At least, the odds of winning against Mewtwo in the game were very high!

"Just with this Pokémon?"

Mewtwo still remembered Monferno, and had a deep impression of it struggling desperately under the Electric God Pillar.

Through the memory orb provided by Fang Yuan, it had also become familiar with Monferno's growth history.

A hardworking Pokémon was indeed praiseworthy, but talent was a real thing, an insurmountable barrier no matter how hard one tried.

Was Fang Yuan really thinking of using this Monferno to challenge Latios??

Mewtwo calmly returned to its original position, expressionless. Perhaps it had been too hopeful about Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was also very calm because it was a 1v1 battle, so Monferno couldn't be accompanied by Ditto this time.

Therefore, like with Eevee, he had Victini enhance its physical strength beforehand to allow it to use even stronger Power of Thunder Flame.

Mewtwo and Fang Yuan, each with their different thoughts.

"Come on."

"As you wish."

With a "buzz", the battle commenced directly.

As soon as the battle started, Mewtwo immediately activated Superpower, enhancing Latios, which let out a "woo" as a growl and its eyes shone with white light, entering the same state as Latias had before.

The aura that soared to new heights was even stronger than that of Latias.

Among the two Pokémon, Latios had always been the stronger one, and now that its potential was unlocked, Latios seemed even more formidable.

This time, determined not to lose, Mewtwo invested itself fully into the battle, setting aside its previous casualness.

Its gaze overlapped directly with Latios, starting Mind Induction and using its Predictive Ability to assist Latios—

This greatly improved Latios's combat prowess.

"Monferno, The Sixth Gate, Open!"

Fang Yuan's voice fell at the same time.

"Wuah—" Upon hearing the command, Monferno clenched its fist into its palm, nodding its head.

In this time and space, it had yet to enjoy a fulfilling battle.

That Electric God Pillar was purely its sparring partner, and if it truly wanted to defeat it, it would be a matter of one punch.

"Bwoo!" At Fang Yuan's feet, Eevee's tail shook, signaling that it was coming; after challenging the Road of Champions and opening The Fifth Gate last time, this time, it was going to open The Sixth Gate.

"Bimi Bimi~!" On Fang Yuan's shoulder, the invisible Victini was also a bit excited, sensing the intense will to win emanating from Monferno.

It wasn't just about defeating Latios... but also surpassing all the Pokémon that had underestimated it.

Including Mewtwo.

Boom!!

In the arena, Monferno clenched its fist, and with a bursting sound, it suddenly erupted with golden-red flames.

Open Gate, Open!

Rest Gate, Open!

Life Gate, Injury Gate, Stop Gate—

When Thunder Flame Mode was opened to The Fifth Gate, Monferno gained the strength to overpower most ordinary Guardian Gods; The Fifth Gate enhanced Monferno's reaction speed the most, while The Sixth Gate was a critical stage.

Compressing the Power of Thunder Flame to this stage nearly reached a tipping point of qualitative change. At this time, because the Power of Thunder Flame wasn't sufficient for a qualitative transformation, a surge of quantity would erupt, and once fully released, the energy would be immensely vast, an astoundingly powerful force, comparable to any top Guardian God Spirit.

Therefore, the burden it brought was also tremendous.

Fortunately, with the prior Amplification from Victini and the Fire of Life present, Monferno could forcibly open this stage.

Wuahhh—Scene Gate, open!!!

With the Power of Thunder Flame reaching its zenith, the mere fierce aura caused the Light Wall created by Mewtwo to waver, and amid fierce pain, Monferno grimaced, yet at this moment, it stared calmly at Latios, whose expression had stalled, and assumed a punching posture.

"This power..."

"Compared to when it fought the Electric God Pillar... it's much stronger..."

"At that time, did this Monferno not give its all?!"

Realizing this fact, many people's eyes widened in shock.

"Although it's weaker than the power Eevee unleashed before... this strength is sustained."

Seeing the Monferno emanating flames that spread tens of meters high, engulfing the sky in golden flames and filled with lightning, shaking the entire venue, Mewtwo was taken aback. According to its knowledge, among the Pokémon tamed by human Trainers, there shouldn't be any at this level. It suddenly found it difficult to accept.

With such strength, why would it submit to humans? It surely could—

Just as it was about to question, Mewtwo abruptly remembered the memory it had seen.

This strength was not innate.

It was forged through Chimchar's relentless effort, punch by punch, battle by battle, in the company of Fang Yuan.

Sweat dripped to the ground, "drip," the scene shattered.

"This is the power of two beings together—"

To end the battle quickly, to prepare for more important fights to come, Fang Yuan directly activated the Power of the Heart, also the first time he used a special ability in a Mewtwo game battle.

As Fang Yuan's words fell, the air around him began to buzz and vibrate, nearly tangible Aura forming light blue ripples around him, overlapping with Monferno's Flame of Will.

The flames grew even more intense.

The desire to win, even stronger.

Compared to Latios's power forcibly amplified by Mewtwo, Fang Yuan and Monferno's hearts were connected, making the power amplification far more effective.

"Boom—" In the next second, Monferno disappeared from its original spot.

The terrifying speed made Latios's pupils constrict, unable to catch sight of it even with its Predictive Ability.

"Over there—"

Feeling something off with Latios, Mewtwo quickly spoke, its heart pounding with a nervousness it hadn't felt in a long time. It saw Monferno's figure and conveyed the image to Latios through Mind Induction, but...

In the chaotic vision, Latios managed to spot Monferno for an instant, but by the time it recognized the figure, its expression was already frozen.

It was too late.

Its reaction speed simply couldn't keep up with Monferno's explosive velocity.

"Woo————" Latios let out a painful growl. In the eyes of President Wen and the others, Latios, enhanced to the level of a Top Guardian God, was indeed very strong; but to Fang Yuan, who often fought above his level, Latios, Latias, or any unstable amplified state was just too unreliable.

It was all thanks to Mewtwo's power alone, relying on Mewtwo's strength. In contrast, Fang Yuan and Monferno gained a stronger power through resonance with their Mental Power, which meant Monferno had far superior control over its newfound power compared to its opponent.

Boom!!!

Latios emitted a painful cry as Monferno's fist had already struck its body, shattering the Superpower Mewtwo had placed on Latios. Following that, Thunder and Flame burst forth from Monferno's Iron Fist, and a terrifying current and blaze gathered along its arm and fist, forming a meters-long Thunder Flame Fist Shadow, completely engulfing Latios!

"Woo————"

In almost an instant, Latios fell like a meteor, crashing to the ground in a flash of light.

Boom!!!

A crater tens of meters in diameter was violently formed, with Lightning and Flame intertwining within it, resembling Hellfire.

Only one round...

The scene stopped on Mewtwo's frozen expression.

At that moment, everyone was stunned. The Trainers, who had been despairing over the outcome of the Mewtwo game, had never anticipated such a conclusion.

The two Legendary Pokémon, reputed unbeatable by Trainers, who had easily crushed the top battle forces of two nations, were knocked out of the field with a single move each?

"This—"

Even President Wen and the others had their eyes wide open, full of disbelief. Did this Monferno actually have such power?!

They all looked towards Monferno amidst the blaze in shock.

So, did humans win the Mewtwo game?

Many people widened their eyes in disbelief and looked towards Fang Yuan...

Just who is this Fang Yuan...

.........

Lost?

The final outcome also left Mewtwo bewildered.

According to its Predictive Ability, the victor of the Mewtwo game should have been itself.

But the current outcome... its gaze suddenly turned towards Fang Yuan.

And Fang Yuan was also calmly looking straight at it.

"It's not over, Mewtwo. I've said before, I am the strongest Trainer."

"Which includes defeating you."

"Will you accept the challenge?"

"If you win, I am at your mercy. If you lose, you must grant me one request," Fang Yuan said with a resolute gaze.

The Mewtwo game, he had never cared about it from the beginning. His goal was one, to awaken Mewtwo.

Just when numerous Trainers, immersed in what they thought was the perfect end to the Mewtwo game, heard Fang Yuan's words, they instantly felt as if they had fallen into an abyss.

Has this man gone mad?
