Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 162 The Showdown Between the Clones and the Original

"How scary, meow!"

Seeing Ash leave, Meowth clung to Natsume's leg.

"Hey Rockets, what are you guys doing here?"

Xiaoxia looked curiously at the disheveled trio. They seemed to have some unknown past, as they were soaking wet and smelled slightly foul.

"Don't even mention it. Boss Giovanni said that Mewtwo might come back here, so he sent us over," Kojiro said dejectedly.

"Hmph, in the end, this is a mess that your Rockets team made, and Giovanni doesn't seem to care at all!" Xiao Gang said indignantly.

"What do you mean by not taking it seriously? Kid, listen up! We are the Super Rocket Special Operations Team, and we only answer to Boss Giovanni!"

Musashi argued fiercely, roaring.

Natsume stood to the side, his expression strange.

Giovanni knew where Mewtwo had returned to. That's right, this was the new island where Mewtwo was discovered.

The possibility that the other party will return here certainly exists.

Anyone who takes the time to check will know whether Mewtwo is there or not.

However, Giovanni only sent Team Rocket's three members.
Natsume sensed something was wrong.

Giovanni doesn't seem to value Mewtwo that much; in fact, he gives the impression of being indifferent.

"Dream, I will defeat you."

Mewtwo's gaze sharpened, and a blue orb of light condensed in its hand.

Quietly, Natsume activated the priesthood registration function.

[Genetic rights detected. Please collect sufficient battle data. - Collection in progress.]

"Boom—" The ball of light crashed into Dream, but was still dissolved by the pink bubbles blown by the other party.

"Why don't you fight back?"

Mewtwo was puzzled by the repeated attacks, as it relied on defense and dodging.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Mew spoke, seemingly talking to Mewtwo, who froze in place upon hearing it.

"Natsume, what is Mist saying?"

"I don't know." Natsume shook his head.

Unfortunately, his current psychic abilities are difficult to utilize, and his telepathic abilities are even less effective against psychic-type Pokémon that are on guard.

"What Dreamy said makes a lot of sense, Meow!" Meow nodded in agreement.

"You understand!?" Natsume was a little stunned.

Meowth can understand the group sounds of ordinary Pokémon, which Natsume can attribute to the fact that the other Pokémon has specifically learned them.

Why does Meow Meow know the language of dreams?

"Yeah, what's so strange about that? When you've learned dozens of Pokémon languages, you'll naturally be able to integrate them all."

"As long as it's this language system, even if you haven't studied it, you can roughly understand the meaning, meow!" Meow waved her hand proudly.

“Oh—” Natsume narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly felt that Meowth would be most suitable to teach Pokémon linguistics at a school.

"What 'dream' means is that whether it's a clone or the original, they're the same. They don't rely on any special moves; their bodies are identical. They can't win or lose—waaaah!"

Meowth was translating Mew's words when Mewtwo used telekinesis to shut him up.

"Shut up!"

A violent burst of telekinetic energy erupted, and everyone felt a strong wind blowing in front of them, making it impossible to open their eyes.

"The clone is optimized; it's designed to be more powerful than the original!"

As soon as Mewtwo finished speaking, a group of cloned Pokémon rushed forward from behind.

Mew shook its head, and the Pokémon behind it charged forward.

Seemingly in response to Mew, the cloned Pokémon did not use any moves, and both sides fought each other physically.

Bulbasaur and Bulbasaur head-to-head.

Two armored rhinoceroses are locked in a struggle.
Natsume used the system to explore and found that the individual values ​​of these clones were generally slightly higher than those of the originals.

At first, he thought that some kind of stimulating agent had been added during the cloning process.

But now it seems that it may be the function of genetic authority.

Because the individual values ​​(IVs) of the Pokémon also increase the moment Mew appears.

Now, the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon are exactly the same!

"Gyarados, stop fighting! I can raise two!" the burly trainer said, but for some reason, the fight only intensified.

"There's absolutely no need to be so heartbroken."

Xiaoxia wiped away her tears.

Mew and Mewtwo are locked in a standoff.

The original Pokémon and its clones are locked in a standoff.

Chaotic, yet possessing a certain order.

As if by telepathy, everyone found another version of themselves.

Except for one big guy.

"Woo-"

The giant dragon stood there, stunned, and touched the pointed tip on its head.

Its intelligence is insufficient to comprehend what is happening now.

But it knew that everyone else had playmates, but it didn't!
Dragonite is very angry.

"Boom boom boom!"

In a corner, two Psyducks are fighting each other with bricks in their hands.

You hit me with a brick, and I take the brick and hit you back; we take turns doing this in perfect harmony.

The brick was snatched away in a flash the next second.

"Gada?" "Gaga?"

The two Psyducks looked up and saw a hideous face dripping with blood.

"Quack quack!" Psyducks huddled together, shivering.

Dragonite felt bored and wandered around among a bunch of fighting Pokémon.

Suddenly, it saw a Pikachu.

Ootori thought it was a middle-part hairstyle, and his eyes lit up as he walked over.

"Pickup!"

"Clap clap-"

Upon closer inspection, I discovered it was Pikachu and another Pikachu.

The Pikachu slapped Pikachu's face repeatedly, and the latter, with tears in its eyes, did not retaliate.

The giant dragon tilted its head; it didn't understand.

But the middle-parted leader had told him that Pikachu = his comrade.

Companions = things that Dragonite needs to protect.

Dragonite's expression turned fierce, his face creased with deep lines, and drops of blood and sweat fell from his skin.

"Pikachu pikachu pikachu!" Why didn't you fight back!

Pikachu is still fanning Pikachu.

The next second, a menacing phantom, with a ferocious face and exuding bloody aura, rose up behind Pikachu.

Its fierce aura caused all the Pokémon fighting around it to freeze in place.

Not to mention Pikachu being targeted by Dragonite.

“Pikachu!” The Pikachu sat frozen on the ground, trembling all over.

Just as the giant dragon's fist was about to fall, Pikachu stepped in front of it.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!" Pikachu shook its head at the giant Dragonite.

Pikachu stared blankly at Pikachu.

"Pickup?"

It's unclear what the other party said, but the terrifying Dragonite stopped attacking, turned around, and left.

Off the field, Natsume touched his nose.

He felt that his Dragonite, though lacking the Intimidate ability, was actually more powerful than it.

In the sky, the battlefield between Mewtwo and Mew rose higher and higher until it disappeared from sight.

"Meow, I'm so scared!"

Meow Meow continued to cling to Natsume's leg.

Although Dragonite managed to stop a few battles, most of the Pokémon were still engrossed in their duels.

The giant dragon was getting a little bored, so it found the middle-parted dragon sleeping in the corner of the arena, put it on its head, and stood still next to Natsume.

"Rejection of other Pokémon: As long as they don't have the social ability, most wild Pokémon of the same species will fight when they meet. This is the law of nature."

Natsume shook his head slightly.

The process of recruiting priests is accelerating, but it's too slow. Natsume is planning to drop some bombshells.

"How could that be, meow? Meow meow, I don't have a sense of territory, I won't fight, meow."

As Miaomiao was speaking, she suddenly noticed that Natsume was also hugging a Miaomiao on his other leg.

"Who are you, meow? Don't you know this is my territory!" Meow was furious and brandished its claws.

"Meow!" The other cat licked its paw, ignoring the other cat's threat.

"That's right, meow. It hurts when your claws scratch you, meow. It hurts when your claws scratch me too, meow."

Meow Meow lowered her head, suddenly looking dejected.

"Natsume, what should we do? We can't help at all!" Tsuyoshi ran back.

Behind him, two small fist stones were fighting fiercely.

"Should we handle Pokémon fighting?"

Natsume recalled the Pokémon that would occasionally fight in Oak's lab, nodded, and walked into the arena.

"Stop hitting him, you won't kill him like that!"

After a while, Natsume returned with a bruised and swollen face.

"No, if I open my mouth, they'll fight even harder."

"what did you say?"

"Those two Venusaur, I told them not to let their flower buds collide, that's courtship behavior."

"And those two strong guys, don't grab each other's wrists, or people will gossip about you."

Xiao Gang's lips twitched upon hearing this.

"Well, we can't just stand by and watch, can we?" Xiaoxia said worriedly as she pulled the two Psyducks over.

After the incident with the giant Dragonite, the two Psyducks, who were originally hostile to each other, are now tightly embracing each other and still trembling.

Seeing this, Natsume nodded.

"At least that shows that the contradictions are not entirely irreconcilable, right?"

"It seems so, meow." Meow turned its head, glanced at the Zen-like clone Meow, and then proudly puffed out its chest.

"It must be because I, Meow Meow, am naturally full of wisdom. How could that clone be as intelligent as my clone and be able to live in harmony with meow!"

“Bidaru!” A big-tailed raccoon tugged at Meow Meow and handed her a card.

"Pokémon Gwent, one short for five, two tables needed?"

Meow Meow turned around in confusion.

In the back corner, seven big-tailed raccoons sat around two tables, each holding a deck of cards.
