Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 142 A Mere Laboratory (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
See a dream?
Brother, you really overestimate me.

We'll just barely acknowledge your "face," okay?
And
Talk about it.

Since it's Giovanni from a special episode, one of the main reasons he created Mewtwo should be to have Mewtwo help him find his missing son, Silver.

So finding people, especially finding people based on DNA, should be Mewtwo's forte.

However, considering that Mewtwo currently lacks sufficient control over its abilities, there is a risk that it might occasionally go berserk.
【Jingzhongzhihe】: If you can sense its presence, then theoretically, it should also be able to sense you.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: But it didn't come to find you, why?
[Who am I]: I don't know. Maybe it doesn't want to see me yet?
【Jingzhongzhihe】: So why do you want to see it?
Mewtwo looked bewildered.

For what?
It didn't know, but instinctively felt that the other party might be able to tell it why it existed.

But Jinghe seemed to know what it was thinking.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Is it to find the meaning and value of your existence?
Who am I?: Yes
【Jingzhongzhihe】: Let me ask you a simple question.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Two Gastly, one just born and the other just won the Pokémon League Championship with its trainer. What do you think is the meaning of their existence?
Gastly.

Mewtwo murmured softly.

His superpowers resurfaced, and he took control of the polygonal beast in the network.

Polygon: !!
Dead memories are attacking me!
Who am I?: Is meaning based on reference?
Jing He raised an eyebrow as she looked at her phone.

Mewtwo has really improved. He can now not just answer the questions directly, but find out the real purpose behind the questions.
Jing He smiled slightly.

This makes the conversation much easier.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: So, why does Gastly behave differently depending on the reference point?
This time, Mewtwo thought about it for a long time.

Very long.

Jinghe even took a shower and arranged for Gastly and the others to be cleaned as well.

'Could it be that the red temperature reading has dropped again?'

Just as Jinghe had this thought, Mewtwo's answer finally came.

[Who am I?]: Responsibility! Gastly's responsibilities differ depending on the "reference point"!
【Jingzhongzhihe】: Then where does that responsibility originate?
Considering that this question goes too far into the essence and might force Mewtwo to go offline again, Jinghe didn't wait for Mewtwo to think about it in detail this time, but gave an answer instead.

[Jingzhongzhihe]: I have read some books that say that responsibility originates from dreams or from imagination (Note 1). Dreams are part of imagination.

Who am I?: In a dream? In my imagination?
【Jingzhongzhihe】: To give you an example, you "saw" it and felt that it might be related to you, so you wanted to find it. "Finding it" became a responsibility you gave yourself, stemming from "what you thought".

【Jingzhongzhihe】: So, your strong pursuit of "the meaning of existence" is actually the responsibility you give yourself, and the act of "pursuing the meaning of existence" itself becomes one of the meanings of your existence.

Meaning is meaning?
Polygon: "."

Brother, stop talking.
【Jingzhongzhihe】: What you need to do now is to let your "imagination" run wild, but you need to use some "rules" to limit yourself.

"Ok?"

Jing He froze as soon as he typed the sentence.

Because Mewtwo's image has already dimmed.

"It's down again?"

Is it difficult to understand?
This is actually a conflict between the "superego" and the "id," which requires the "ego" to regulate the two.

Mewtwo has a good understanding of the "ego" and the "id," but it seems that it will take a little longer to accept the "superego."

but.

To Jinghe's delight, Mewtwo's progress has been quite evident.

It just needs time to "digest" itself.

Viridian City, Kanto Region, Team Rocket base.

"Damn it, the Polygon has passed out again!"

"What is it this time? A dream or imagination? Thank goodness it's not Gastly."

"Does Mewtwo want to become a philosopher?!"

"Wait! Mewtwo's stats are skyrocketing! This has already exceeded the original expected threshold!"

"."

The researchers in the Mewtwo Lab experienced a "familiar" event once again.

After several attempts, although they still appeared flustered, they had clearly developed a set of procedures for dealing with the situation.

And right next to a window above the laboratory.

Giovanni stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the window and landing on Mewtwo, who stood quietly clad in armor.

Manori showed no sign of panic when standing next to Sakaki.

She even carefully took a cookie out of her pocket and took a small bite.

Hmm, I feel the taste is still a bit lacking; I can't give it to the eldest yet.

Then she picked up the notebook in her arms and reported:
"Boss, as expected, every time Mewtwo interacts with Teacher Jinghe, its psychic powers skyrocket, accompanied by Porygon fainting and the network crashing."

In this regard.

The Rockets seem to be gradually getting used to it.

Giovanni smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what the biggest difference is between Mewtwo and other Pokémon?"

The bird looked puzzled and tentatively said:

"Its strength and power lies in its formidable abilities?"

Sakaki gently shook his head, half-closing his eyes, and said:

"Its strength lies in the fact that it thinks more than other Pokémon; it possesses a heart that seeks the essence of things."

Every time Chao Meng comes into contact with Jing He, it causes something to happen to the Rockets.

However, it cannot be denied that...

After each encounter, Mewtwo seemed to become more mature, and its abilities were further released or even strengthened.

This is something Sakaki is happy to see.

The bird nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

In her opinion.

Actually, it's just that Teacher Jinghe is amazing.

All beings who came into contact with Teacher Jinghe, whether it was Mewtwo, Sabrina, or Nidoqueen, became stronger.

Especially Mewtwo.

“That laboratory,” Masahiro whispered.

Sakaki turned and walked toward his office.

"Just fix it."

It's just a laboratory.

A typical day for Kanto Investigator Lance begins with a stroll through the Johto region. Just as dawn breaks, as Lance, riding his powerful Dragonite, flies out of Smoky City, a buzzing sound suddenly rings in his button-type earpiece.

This was followed by intermittent messages:

"Zzz. Team Rocket's trail at Lake Rage! Zzz spotted a powerful Gyarados! Requesting Zzz's support!"

Upon hearing the message, Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, immediately patted the neck of the Dragonite beneath him, and said:

"Dragonite, turn around and head to Lake of Rage!"

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, so heavy and oppressive that it seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

The rain poured down like a torrent of silver arrows.

boom! !

Lake Rage, the largest lake in the Johto region, located in the northernmost part of the region, is currently turbulent, with terrifying waves constantly crashing against the shore.

Many League investigators and police officers commanded their Pokémon to fight off the waves while evacuating residents around Lake Rage.

Vaguely.

Some people saw a terrifying Gyarados, its body entirely wine-red, wreaking havoc amidst the surging waves.

suddenly.

A gust of wind swept in, and the biting cold air instantly froze a large amount of waves into ice crystals.

"It's Investigator Awa!"

The sharp-eyed investigator recognized the person who had arrived.

Many people looked on with awe.

At this moment, A-Du's gaze was completely fixed on the red Gyarados raging in the center of the lake.

Look serious.

He pulled on his cloak and said in a deep voice, "Evacuate as soon as possible, I'll deal with it!"

"Yes!"

The investigators and police officers below responded almost simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the red Gyarados in the lake, its already bloodshot eyes blazing with even more fury, stared intently at Dragonite and Lance in the air.

"Roar--!!"

Terrifying energy gathered from its ferocious mouth.

Upon seeing this, Adu was not surprised but delighted, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Dragonite, Hurricane!!"

Saturday.

The highly anticipated mentor assessment, featuring the final four, will officially begin today.

This is perhaps the most watched mentor assessment in recent years.

There is no other reason.

In this final four assessment, a non-combat-oriented mentor has infiltrated!

Moreover, this mentor did not come from the Department of Breeding or the Department of Coordination, which are relatively closer to the Department of Battle, but from the Department of Pokémon Psychology!
This intense sense of identity conflict has kept the assessment process attracting increasing attention.

Furthermore, Jinghe's tactical capabilities have garnered even more attention.

"I heard that Teacher Jinghe only has three Pokémon. What if we get a battle between all members or a battle where we have to choose four out of six in this assessment?"

"If it's not one of those two, then there's something inside!"

"Inside information! Inside information! Inside information!"

"Let him hit! Let him hit!"

"."

Where there is heat, there is naturally controversy.

Similar comments are actually quite common online.

However, some people were just joking, while the true intentions of others were harder to discern.

Of course, there are those who question it, but there are also many who support it.

In particular, some people who had consulted Jinghe online and received help from Jinghe.

Jinghe didn't actually pay much attention to this.

Where is this?
When the person who won the league championship at the age of ten or eleven comes out, I wonder if these people will still have doubts.

Oh, and there's also Qinglu, who's about the same age but only sat for five minutes.

Jinghe has already met him.

The "Devin-Magma Fuel Arena" is now ablaze with excitement.

Many people were also holding up signs supporting Jinghe.

At this moment, Jinghe's attention was more focused on the scene before her.

"Chirp~~"

The evolved blacksmith stared with gleaming eyes at the armored bird clad in heavy metal armor before him.

He gripped the hammer tightly and then loosened it several times.

"Kaka"

The armored bird quietly swallowed.

He glanced at Daigo, who was smiling broadly, and at Jinghe, who was holding her forehead.

Are you guys serious?
"Chirp~~"

The skilled blacksmith smiled kindly and waved to the armored bird.

Don't worry, Big Bird, I'm very gentle.

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly patted Skarmory on the back, giving it a "good luck" look.

to be frank.

Steven's move of "delivering" Skarmory to the Blacksmith was something even Gastly couldn't understand.

But Daigo had great confidence in the blacksmith.

Because after the last time Bossco brought it back, it ate a lot of heavy metal.

The metal that grew back from the small area where it was knocked off did indeed have a significantly increased hardness.
