You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 210 Dreamy Wife, You Don't Want This Either...

Six days ago.

Joban City, Joban Gym.

Few people know that beneath the Viridian Gym, one of the most prestigious gyms in the Kanto region, lies a sizable secret research facility.

After all, if you weren't a member of Team Rocket, you'd generally only have two choices after learning about Giovanni's other identity as the Tokiwa Gym Leader—

To surrender, or to disappear.

Giovanni, the Gym Leader who is regarded as a guardian deity by the residents of Viridian City and has repeatedly kept Team Rocket out, has naturally become an evil nemesis in their eyes, no less than the "righteous hero" Lance.

Since he became the Gym Leader of Viridian City, Team Rocket has never been seen in Viridian City, and the crime rate has dropped to an all-time low.

Therefore, the Tokiwa Dojo remains the "only savior" for combating crime in the surrounding area.

—It has to be said that sending the underground emperor of the Quartz Plateau to deal with organized crime is already a dark joke in itself.

How are your physical stats today?

Inside the underground research institute, a man in a black suit with a somber expression glanced at the researcher beside him and spoke in a low voice.

The moment he spoke, the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees.

(Sakaki & Mewtwo)

After being stared at by Sakaki's icy gaze, one of the researchers in a white coat holding a document board began to tremble. After flipping through a few pages with shaky hands, he began a brief report:
"After being cultured in a petri dish for a month, its body should have entered the growth stage and there should be no further risks."

"but……"

The researcher subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued.

"Because Dream's genes are too powerful, its growth rate has far exceeded our expectations. Subject No. 2 has already begun to have combat capabilities, and its various bodily functions are developing rapidly."

"Furthermore, with the awakening of its superpowers, it seems to have developed self-awareness in the petri dish..."

"In recent days of observation, Subject 2 has clearly shown a subconscious behavior of learning human language through conversations between researchers."

"self conscious?"

Sakaki raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued, and turned to look at the huge green petri dish in front of him.

Besides the high-concentration nutrient solution that was continuously pumped with oxygen, a pink Pokémon that seemed to be sleeping was curled up quietly inside.

Its appearance is very similar to the legendary dream, but its body structure is closer to that of a human.

The moment Giovanni looked at it, the Pokémon seemed to sense his gaze and slowly opened its eyes.

Then, she stared at him with a bewildered look.

Upon seeing this, Sakaki's lips curled up slightly.

"Don't call it Experiment No. 2 anymore."

"Since it already has self-awareness, then let's call it..."

After thinking for two seconds, Sakaki quickly decided on its name.

"Mewtwo."

Mewtwo, beyond Mew.

Genetic power from the Dream, plus a portion of my own genes...

It's only a matter of time before he becomes a legend, possesses power surpassing all other beings, and truly becomes a "god".

It will definitely like this name.

After nodding in satisfaction, Sakaki glanced at the researcher beside him again and casually remarked:
"Starting today, double the concentration of the medicine in the petri dish to block its thinking ability to the greatest extent possible."

“Before the stage is set up, all it needs is physical growth. Having self-awareness is not a good thing for us.”

"Yes!"

As the two figures walked away, Mewtwo in the petri dish still had a blank look in its eyes.

Mewtwo...?

Is that my name?

The newborn Mewtwo did not fully understand human language, but its brain had begun to develop, and it subconsciously analyzed the content of the conversation between the two.

[If that human was giving me a name...]

So, should he be considered my father?

With Mewtwo's current vocabulary, it can only engage in simple thinking like this, and its brain is quickly becoming fatigued.

So tired...

However, just as Mewtwo subconsciously closed its eyes, its consciousness about to return to chaos—

"Miao?"

A clear yet unfamiliar voice rang in her ears, causing Mewtwo to open her eyes again.

What came into view was a creature much smaller than any other creature he had ever seen.

But unlike the two previous humans, it was completely different in appearance; its body was pink and its feet did not touch the ground.

Mewtwo had no idea how it suddenly appeared here, but the little pink creature clearly seemed quite interested in it.

【Hello……】

Although it couldn't speak yet, Mewtwo felt a strange sense of familiarity with it and took the initiative to try to communicate with it using its weak psychic abilities.

"Miao?"

Because Mewtwo's psychic abilities are still too weak, humans cannot sense them at all.

But Fantasy Westward Journey is a different story.

After a brief moment of shock, Dream quickly covered her mouth and laughed.

At the same time, Mewtwo in the petri dish soon received the unfamiliar, thin voice.

Hello~

Staring at its closed mouth, Mewtwo paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening—

It seems to be the first to hear its own voice and will even respond to itself.

And surprisingly, I could sense a familiar aura emanating from it...

【Who are you……】

Confused, Mewtwo took the initiative to ask.

【Um? 】

Seemingly stumped by its own question, the little pink creature in front of it rested its chin on its hands and thought for a while before giving a reply with a smile.

I'm your friend~

【friend……? 】

Mewtwo couldn't understand the meaning of the word, but it didn't dislike the feeling.

【Hello friend……】

Mewtwo tried to smile, which elicited another soft laugh from Mew.

Just as it was about to ask for the meaning of the word, a series of footsteps soon approached.

Upon hearing the sounds coming from outside, Mewtwo's smile vanished instantly, and he could only helplessly reach out and touch the petri dish, seemingly wanting to touch the Mewtwo trapped inside.

Yes, we're friends!

I'll come see you again next time!

The superpower, carrying information, entered Mewtwo's ears, and at the same time, Mew's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After understanding what Mewtwo meant, a slight smile inexplicably appeared on Mewtwo's lips.

Goodbye, my friend...

……

Back to Sunshine Dojo.

Isn't that Mewtwo?!
Seeing the new appearance that Dream had after using its transformation ability, Qingyu quickly realized what was happening.

Mew actually saw Mewtwo ahead of time?
Mewtwo, a genetically engineered Pokémon, is a forbidden existence that should not have appeared in this world.

Regardless of the timeline, Mewtwo is a Pokémon artificially created by Team Rocket using the Mew Gene they obtained, possessing immense power. It could even be classified as a Legendary Pokémon, and its battle prowess, as depicted in the anime, is extremely formidable.

but……

Also because he was born into the Rockets, Mewtwo was once confused about the meaning of his existence.

He was even influenced by Team Rocket leader Giovanni, believing that only by defeating Mew to prove his own strength could he truly possess himself, rather than being a copy of it.

In short, he is a problem child who was led astray from a young age and has some serious psychological issues.

However, considering that Red and Blue haven't become trainers yet, Mewtwo must have only been born a short time ago, right?
This can also be seen from the body shape after the transformation.

So how exactly did Mew discover it? It couldn't have been by going to Team Rocket and killing them, could it?
Despite having countless questions in his mind, Aoba only showed a little surprise when faced with Mewtwo's transformation.

"Mwah!"

After Mewtwo uttered a cute sound that was completely at odds with its serious expression, Qingyu quickly understood what it meant—

"Are you asking if I recognize it?"

"Mwah!"

Mewtwo nodded.

Although it didn't have high expectations, it seemed that Qingyu was the only human it knew.

We'll have to ask him.

"..."

Can you tell me what you saw?

After thinking it over carefully, Qingyu decided to first find out what Meng Huan knew.

"Mwah!"

Meng Huan trusted Qing Yu quite a bit, so she didn't hold back and directly touched his forehead.

Soon, everything that Mew had seen and heard after appearing in Viridian Forest a few days ago came to Aoba's mind.

As expected, these special abilities in the Pokémon world are truly amazing; they can do almost anything...

However, it seems that only Dream can use this move; at least I've never seen Gadlia use it.

If even a humanoid Pokémon like Cattleya can't work, then the vast majority of Pokémon can forget about it either.

As the scenes playing in his mind like a movie unfolded, Qingyu couldn't help but silently complain to himself.

After quickly going through the dreamlike memories, Qingyu suddenly realized.

Although I don't know why it suddenly went to Viridian City, it seems like the timing was just right!
Just as Mewtwo was beginning to develop self-awareness, it sensed Mewtwo's kindness.

In that case, the possibility of Mewtwo and Mew fighting in the movie is almost zero, right?

This is a good thing for both Mewtwo and Mew.

So after thinking it over, Qingyu decided to tell Meng Huan some of what she knew.

"The place you went to before was the Viridian Gym in Viridian City, Kanto."

"Judging from the markings on the researchers, they should be members of Team Rocket, the notorious villainous organization on the Quartz Plateau."

"As for the relationship between Master Sakaki and them, it's probably not that simple..."

As Qingyu spoke, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment before quickly speaking again.

"As for this being they call Mewtwo, it's very likely a Pokémon created using your genes?"

"In a sense, it might even be considered your child..."

The discussion mainly focused on Mewtwo's origins and its relationship with Team Rocket. As for what happened afterward, since nothing has happened yet and he wasn't sure if things would develop that way, he didn't mention it.

"Miao???"

Stunned by Qingyu's explosive conjecture, Dream was speechless. She even lost all intention of maintaining her transformation and immediately reverted to the form that Qingyu was more familiar with.

Although I did have a slight suspicion in my mind...

However, Mew was still shocked when he learned from Aoba that Mewtwo was a Pokémon cloned from his own genes.

What's going on? Did I become a mom?
But why am I the only one who doesn't know about this?

And what's more, I've actually become "friends" with my own child?

Becoming a mother unexpectedly was a huge shock to Meng Huan, and a series of questions quickly overwhelmed her, leading her to make a final decision—

forget about it!
Since things have already come to this, the key question now is why my genes are being used by humans...

You humans are so wicked! (Except for Qingyu)
While pondering the dream, Qingyu was also thinking about another question—

If Mew and Mewtwo had made contact beforehand, then wouldn't that mean...?

Before Mewtwo is led astray by Giovanni's ideas, could we first have Mew cultivate the right values ​​in the child?
Bringing back Mewtwo is still too difficult for Mew to do for the time being.

While it's true that Dream is very powerful, given Team Rocket's current strength and various advanced technologies, even it might not have the upper hand in a head-on confrontation.

Team Rocket seems to have come up with a lot of ideas to suppress Mewtwo's psychic powers, and maybe those things will work on Mew too?

Moreover, the Rockets were originally founded to find the legendary Dream Team, so this is tantamount to walking into a trap...

Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed.

Maybe if Mewtwo takes care of the kids in his spare time, it will be able to escape Team Rocket's base on its own once it develops to a certain level of strength?

Thinking of this, Qingyu suddenly paused—

wait?

That sounds familiar!
It turns out that Mewtwo in this timeline isn't the box office champion from the movie that made a comeback ten times in a year, but rather more like the Mewtwo from another timeline that can evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y on its own?
The main difference between the two Mewtwos is whether or not they were influenced by Giovanni.

Oh, no, the biggest impact seems to be that the Mega Evolution of the counter-attack version of Mewtwo is Mewtwo X.

Although it's the same Pokémon, there's clearly a difference in quality between the two Mega Evolutions.

Thinking of this, Qingyu subconsciously looked at Meng Huan.

But if this guy raises a kid, I always feel like he'll end up just as mischievous as him!
"Mrs. Dream, you wouldn't want your child to go astray, would you?"

Qingyu suddenly grinned mischievously and spoke to Meng Huan.

"Miao???"

Dream paused for a moment, then slowly typed out a series of question marks.

……

After briefly explaining their ideas and the Pokémon, the two of them hit it off immediately.

"Mwah!"

Dream patted his chest, assuring Qingyu that she could rest assured.

Although it has no experience in raising children, it can easily show Mewtwo the beauty of the world and prevent it from being brainwashed by Team Rocket!

"..."

Seeing Qingyu's indescribable expression, Meng Huan quickly covered her mouth, chuckled, and disappeared.

"It seems like we have no choice but to trust it now."

Qingyu sighed, hoping that Dream would be a little more reliable at a time like this.

Without Mewtwo's help to Team Rocket, it would have been a piece of cake for Red and Blue to sweep through Team Rocket after their debut this year...

Could it be considered that I unwittingly helped Guan Du?
This can be considered as repaying the favor that Mr. Dudu gave me for the precious dragon egg.

As Qingyu pondered this, she prepared to feed her Pokémon.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the dojo.

Qingyu subconsciously looked towards the door.

With students not yet in school and the Sunshine Dojo under a truce sign, who would come looking for him?

Soon, the answer was revealed—

“Mr. Qingyu, I am Mu Fei, the principal of Orange Academy.”

The guest outside the door quickly introduced himself.
