27. Pass the knowledge directly, can't you??

Mew teleported right in front of the purple feline and there was an obvious fake smile on her face. "What did you just call me, little brother?" she asked with fake sweetness.

Mewtwo scoffed in response. "I think you have to get your facts straight. You're the one who's smaller. And I called you a pink pinball cause that's what you are, constantly zigzagging all over the place. Don't you ever get tired of annoying everyone?"

The raven haired trainer and the blue jackal pokémon glanced nervously at each other, while Pikachu shook his head as he got out of the backpack when he heard their argument. He had been taking a nap since entering the backpack and just woke up due to their argument.

Mew glared at her brother. "Hmph! I may be smaller, but I am older than you, and more powerful, so don't push it!"

"Is that a challenge? Well then, let's go another round," Mewtwo replied as he stepped away from the tree and got into a battle stance with a smirk on his face.

"That's it! I'm gonna flatten you like a pancake and then I'm gonna feed you to the Regis!"

"Stop it, both of you!" interjected Riolu suddenly and very loudly. For a small pokémon, he sure did have a loud voice. Mew and Mewtwo turned their heads with dumbfounded expressions on their faces. They were surprised to hear the loud voice coming from Riolu who capitalized on their silence.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves! We're on a noble and important mission! Yet you're fighting for no reason like a pair of children! Now, let's get back on track and focus on what needs to be done before my Master and I leave you here and call your Father to let him know you two are playing games when we should be starting on our goal!" threatened Riolu while glaring at the two legendary psychic pokémon.

Ash's eyebrows were raised and his eyes were widened in shock at what his pokémon just said. Wow, he must really have no fear, thought Ash. He just scolded those two as if they were children, not caring that they both are powerful legendaries. Arceus was right. Riolu will be a great addition to the team.

"No! Please don't tell Daddy! I promise I'll behave! I'll go get some stuff for you guys so you can enter the Tree of Beginning okay? Just give me a quick minute!" With that statement, Mew disappeared.

Mewtwo however, quickly composed himself before speaking. "I admit I may have gone a little overboard. However, speak to me like that again, and I will not let it go so easily, even if you are Ash's pokémon. Understood?" Riolu neither spoke nor moved, just continued to glare at Mewtwo.

Ash and Pikachu looked at each other and both shook their heads. "This is gonna be rough."

"Pika pika…" agreed Pikachu.

A second later, Mew appeared again in their midst while carrying two aura crystals shaped as poke balls hanging from a necklace. She gave one to Ash and another to Mewtwo. "These aura crystals will let you go into the Tree of Beginning. The Regis will not bother you anymore and neither will the other defenses the Tree has. As for your pokémon Ash, they don't need one since they are bonded with you. Your aura crystal is enough for you and all your pokémon. Since Mewtwo is not really your pokémon, he needed his own. Now follow me while we head inside!" Mew began leading the way immediately afterwards and the three Regis cleared the path that allowed Ash, Pikachu, Riolu and Mewtwo to follow after her.

"Why must we go inside? Can you not pass the knowledge to Riolu so we may leave without going inside the Tree?" asked Mewtwo.

"I could, but it will take longer. The Tree has many Aura crystals inside of it that will help me transfer the knowledge quicker since Riolu and I must connect with our Auras to pass the knowledge over," clarified Mew, satisfying Mewtwo with her explanation.
