Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 438 Mewtwo: It seems like Li Xuan is about to see all my underwear.

"Strange, what are these uninvited guests?"

Li Xuan sensed that something was wrong.

Above the Quartz Conference...

Oh no, to be more specific, it should be said that above the spectator room where I was, there was an overwhelming and uncontrollable superpower erupting.

"This power feels so familiar... yet it also has a completely different feel to it."

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, while Little Riolu's eyes brightened.

"Mio!" (Wow, a new self-service BBQ chef has arrived!)

Little Riolu blinked, unable to contain its excitement, eager to fly into the sky and get to know its new friend.

Li Xuan: …

I've got a new barbecue chef!

Little Riolu, are you treating him like a tool?
"Mio!" (Li Xuan, how could you think of me like that? Do you see me as the kind of lazy bum who only knows how to have someone grill meat for me?)

Little Riolu was indignant. He had at least helped out when he was supposed to, he was just a little too lazy to grill the meat himself on weekdays, did he have to say that about himself?

Li Xuan, is it because I, Little Riolu, can't lift a knife anymore that you feel like you're getting a little cocky?
"Is not it?"

After asking the question, Li Xuan replied irritably.

"When have we ever eaten barbecue together without me grilling it for you? It's one thing for me to grill it for you, but every time you finish grilling it, you never leave me a single bite. You eat it all yourself! Little Riolu, look me in the eye!"

"Mio~" (Hehe, isn't this just to show how well you grilled it? But I think you don't need to worry about grilling meat anymore. As long as you get that guy on board, we'll have a grill chef for the future.)
Little Riolu had already imagined what the future would look like.

Mewtwo cooked meat for them without complaint.

Li Xuan: (_)?
Li Xuan didn't say much about Riolu's thoughts.

It's impressive that it can manipulate Mewtwo.

"Mio~" (Since you have no objections, I'll just pull it over here~)
After saying that, Riolu used its psychic powers to lock onto Mewtwo, which was searching for others in the sky, and with a little effort, it teleported it into the private room.

"???"

Mewtwo was a little confused.

It has just arrived at the Quartz Plateau and wants to see which opponents it can hone its skills against.

As a result, a small Riolu was teleported here.

"you are?"

Mewtwo's voice is more feminine, and it's a mature, older woman's voice.

"Mio~" (I am Mew, you were probably created through my eyelashes, right? Let me guess, is it that you can't perfectly control your power, causing most of your superpowers to leak out when you use them?)

Little Riolu knows a bit about Mewtwo.

It described the symptoms that Mewtwo had told it.

Given Team Plasma's situation and the data that Team Rocket couldn't modify, Mewtwo 2 is highly likely to face the same problem.

"Yes, that's true. So, it seems you want to help me?"

Compared to Mewtwo, Mewtwo's personality is relatively mild in front of outsiders; at least it doesn't start fights at the slightest provocation.

Li Xuan sat beside it, watching Riolu communicate with Mewtwo, wondering how far it could go.

"Brother Li Xuan, what Pokémon is that?"

When Lillie first met Mewtwo, it looked like a human and had an indescribable sense of majesty.

"That Pokémon, Mewtwo, is an artificial Pokémon created by Team Plasma. It should be reformed now."

Although the data belongs to Team Rocket, Mewtwo was indeed created by Team Plasma.

There's nothing to say about this.

Furthermore, if word gets out that Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

As for the Plasma Team, there's a precedent like Genesect, so there's a high probability that there won't be any problems.

The league will at most ask a question; they won't make a big deal out of it.

"Mio~" (I want to help you, but I'm afraid you'll feel like I'm taking advantage of you. So, whether I help you or not is up to you. If you want my help, then I will. If you don't want my help, then I won't.)
Little Riolu turned his back, put his hands behind his back, and sighed after saying a few words.

"How can you help me?"

Mewtwo felt that what Riolu was saying was a bit abstract.

It can understand all the words itself, so why can't it understand them when they are put together?
"Mio." (Strength training starts with small things.)
"Mio." (I know you have a lot of questions, like who you are, what you're going to do, and where you're going next. It's frustrating to have all those questions in your head without any answers, isn't it?)
"Mimi~" (When you can perfectly use your superpowers to do something, all your doubts will disappear.)
Little Riolu called out "Mimi" several times in a row, and the more it spoke, the brighter Mewtwo's eyes became.

Don't be fooled by its apparent lack of ambition in the previous chapter.

It simply doesn't want to make a comeback just because others are shouting for it.

If it's for its own benefit, Mewtwo will fight back when it feels it's time to do so.

"Mio~" (It seems you already have an idea, but I can't take you as my apprentice right now. Before officially accepting you as my apprentice, I want to see how strong you are.)
Little Riolu looked at Li Xuan.

The meaning is obvious.

Li Xuan, go and fight Mewtwo 2!
Li Xuan:?
"why me?"

Li Xuan pointed to himself, then glanced at Mewtwo.

Pokémon: Mewtwo

[Attribute: super power]

【Level: 75】

[Characteristics: sense of oppression]

[Movement: Mental disruption, other details omitted.]

Level 75, Mewtwo has yet to stage a comeback.

It's comparable in strength to Mewtwo 1 from a month and a half ago.

This reminded Li Xuan of the first time he saw Mewtwo.

If it weren't for Riolu, he probably would have given it to Itachi directly.

Of course, it's all in the past now, and reminiscing about it now is just a matter of feeling nostalgic.

"Him? A frail human? Trying to test my strength?"

Li Xuan is usually quite reserved, and his Aura power doesn't leak out. Because of this, even Mewtwo 2 looks down on him somewhat.

"Mio." (Don't let his small arms and legs fool you; he's already at the top level of regional champions!)

Little Riolu covered his mouth and laughed.

It refers to the situation when Li Xuan used Reshiram and Kyurem.

If we use the abandoned monkey, its strength is below average for a champion.

Better than a goalkeeper.

It's only slightly better.

"Brother Li Xuan, what is Riolu saying?"

Lillie tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve and whispered a question in his ear.

"Hmm... it's saying that I'm a great trainer, and if Super Dream wants to train with someone else, I'm actually the best choice."

Li Xuan could spout nonsense without even blushing.

"?"

Riolu and Mewtwo simultaneously stopped their discussion, turned around and stared at Li Xuan, their meaning clear.

"Ahem, I was just trying to lighten the mood. Well, next up are the battles between the other gym leaders. I glanced at the screen, and it's a fight between Gym Leader Wu Neng and Gym Leader Xiao Qian. If you don't want to watch, you can take this opportunity to test your strength."

This wasn't just said to Mewtwo.

It was the same thing he said to Xiaoyin and Xiaolan.

I haven't been to the dojo these past few days, so I don't know how well these two apprentices have improved. "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Brother Li Xuan for a bit."

Xiao Yin's strength has improved rapidly.

During the month that I was an apprentice, the Pokémon I trained reached level 40 or higher.

The original Blue Crocodile evolved into Feraligatr, and Nymph and Murkrow evolved into Weavile and Ravenhead respectively.

Talk about it.

Both Little Silver and Little Blue seem to be attribute specialists.

Blue's team has more Fairy-type Pokémon.

Silver is predominantly Dark-type.

Although Feraligatr doesn't have the Dark type, it still has the word "crocodile" in its name.

If you round it up, it can be considered a specialization in evil magic.

……

……

Quartz Plateau is a relatively remote location from the venue.

"This is it. The environment is not bad."

Li Xuan looked around and saw that the environment here was open and spacious. As long as he didn't make too much noise, the Alliance would just turn a blind eye.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time and start the battle."

boom~
The Poké Ball at his waist fell to the ground.

"Abandon the drink!"

Abandoned Monkey stood firmly on the ground, its black fists clenched tightly, its scarlet eyes fixed on Mewtwo.

The abandoned monkey and Mewtwo are old acquaintances, but for some reason, it feels that the Mewtwo it encountered today is weaker than the last time it met.

It felt like I was seeing it for the first time.

Pokémon: Forsaken

[Attributes: Fighting, Ghost]

【Level: 75】

[Characteristics: Not admitting defeat]

[Movement: Fist of Rage, others omitted]

Our Monkey King has reached level 75, truly possessing a level comparable to the champion's main players.

Mewtwo was on high alert.

Seeing that the seemingly frail Li Xuan actually possessed such a powerful Pokémon, it couldn't help but take notice.

"You make the first move, and I'll take this opportunity to see where your mastery of superpowers is lacking."

Li Xuan uses his Aura Power at full strength. It's better to use Aura Power to deal with Pokémon that use powerful brick-throwing attacks.

"Ah."

Mewtwo transforms into a "cool and aloof older sister," raising her arm high and pointing her ball-shaped finger at Forsaken, unleashing an extremely cold light!

A beam of icy blue light shot out, heading straight for the Forsaken Monkey!

Clearly, this Mewtwo is primarily an "ice" type Mewtwo.

Li Xuan chose to counter with a move: "Tile Splitting".

"Abandon the drink!"

The fighting light coalesced, and the Forsaken Monkey slashed forward furiously, shattering the frozen beam into dust the instant it made contact.

"what?!"

This was Mewtwo's first battle, and seeing how easily Forsaken defeated its moves made it unconsciously tense.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Don't be discouraged by a small failure in a move. If you always let the failure of a move disrupt your attack, you will never make progress in your life."

As the dojo owner, Li Xuan had seen far too many situations like this.

From a strategic perspective, a single mistake is insignificant.

They can even use mistakes as a starting point to launch a counterattack.

Most people just lose their composure because of mistakes.

Take Mewtwo for example.

The breath is already disordered.

"I... I understand, let's try again."

Mewtwo's chest rose and fell slightly, and the space around him suddenly distorted.

The next instant, it appeared in front of the abandoned monkey, its eyes blazing with a dazzling azure light!

Using his psychic powers, he ensnared the abandoned monkey, lifted it up, and slammed it to the ground.

Rumble!
With a deafening roar, cracks spread everywhere.

Smoke and dust, carrying fragments of energy, shot into the sky!

"Abandon the drink." (This move is quite powerful, but it's still far from enough to defeat me! Young man, you have a long way to go!)

The abandoned monkey stood up, its scarlet eyes appearing even more terrifying!
The blue light, representing a decline in ability, rose up and was instantly replaced by the red light, representing an increase in energy!

The Abandoned Monkey's special defense is reduced.

Characteristic: Never give up, trigger!

The Abandoned Monkey's attack power has increased dramatically!
"Wait, what's going on?!"

Mewtwo was quite pleased to see the side effects of Psychic.

But what appeared next sent chills down its spine.

Mewtwo had no choice but to retreat several meters, then crossed its arms and swung out ten crescent-shaped energy blades that tore through the air and attacked Forsaken with a high-frequency buzzing sound!
The spiritual blade of the superpower system!
"Shadow Claw!"

The Abandoned Monkey raised its arms, ghostly energy wrapped around its fur, and its claws suddenly grew three feet longer.

It swung its claws fiercely, and the mental blades shattered like glass wherever the claw wind passed, exploding into countless crystalline fragments!

"Abandon your drink!" (Is this all the strength you have? It was much stronger than you were back then!)

Recalling the scene of their first encounter with Mewtwo, Forsaken's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and it transformed into a ghostly afterimage as it charged forward!
Mewtwo instinctively tried to use its psychic powers to create a shield, but Forsaken was faster!

Between the electric light and flint.

The Shadow Claw, accompanied by a shrill whistle, tore through the air and struck Mewtwo squarely in the chest!
Keng! ! !
With a loud crash, Mewtwo was sent flying backward, its not-yet-fully-formed psychic shield shattering into fragments, leaving three sizzling, dark purple wounds on its chest!
"How terrifying... Is this monkey really that strong?"

Mewtwo gasped for breath, unwilling to accept defeat.

In fact.

With its greatly enhanced attack, Forsaken is stronger than many Pokémon in terms of power.

Furthermore, Forsaken is a Pokémon that fights even harder despite its injuries. Having suffered a severe blow, and with its opponent being a Mewtwo-like Pokémon that had given it its first defeat, it's normal for it to launch such an offensive.

Mewtwo was being attacked and its rhythm was in disarray. It was also wondering whether it should fly high into the sky and explode with Forsaken.

"Mewtwo, I told you, you've lost your composure. What you need to do now is adjust your battle rhythm, not let me lead you."

So far, everything Mewtwo has done has been within his calculations, and Li Xuan can guess what Mewtwo will do next.

"You're going to use teleportation to fly into the sky, then unleash mental destruction to see if you can unleash a burst of power and severely injure the Abandoned Monkey, right?"

Li Xuan directly stated Mewtwo's thoughts.

Mewtwo was shocked: "How did you know?!"

"Your thoughts are written all over your face, it's hard for people not to guess in that direction."
