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

Chapter 439 Capturing Mewtwo, the first battle of the counterattack sister!

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

Li Xuan shook his head and sighed. Mewtwo had essentially expressed his thoughts silently.

Isn't this the same as taking off your pants to fart, a completely unnecessary step?

Mewtwo choked.

He couldn't speak for a while.

"Then... how did you know I have a move called Mental Destruction?"

The second point that shocked Mewtwo was how Li Xuan knew about his ultimate move, Mental Destruction.

Logically speaking, its mental destruction is a technique created by humankind.

In this situation, only it, or rather the humans who created it, know this move.

As it turned out, Li Xuan casually revealed his ultimate move.

This completely shut down Mewtwo's brain.

"Oh, this. I've encountered your kind before, it should be considered the number one Mewtwo. It used a move like this, so that's how I know you can use such a move."

Li Xuan's words are true.

Mewtwo had previously used mental destruction.

They also treat this move as a powerful ultimate move.

So when Mewtwo 2 showed that expression, Li Xuan knew that Mewtwo wanted to use Instant Transmission to create distance before using Psychic.

"That's...ok."

Mewtwo calmed itself down, and this time it didn't follow Li Xuan's plan, but instead went all out!

The superpower surged like a magnificent wave, and Mewtwo was enveloped in blue light. This was the best way it could think of to unleash its move so far. Although the power would be reduced due to the large range, it was perfect in that it had no blind spots!

"Sneak Attack by a Hidden Spirit".

Li Xuan snapped his fingers suddenly.

pat~

"Abandon the drink!"

The abandoned monkey grinned with an eerie smile, its ghostly aura spreading wildly, and a dark blue light enveloped its entire body before disappearing into the darkness in an instant!
Sneaky attack, activated.

Unlike digging, the Abandoned Monkey's actions are equivalent to merging itself into another dimension, a place known as the Spirit Realm.

In other words.

Mewtwo's once-proud all-around, invincible attacks are now completely useless against Forsaken.

After all, the abandoned monkey entered the spirit world.

Unless your Mewtwo is powerful enough to tear open a spatial rift, there's no way to hit Forsaken!

"Damn it... What's with hiding like this? Are you just going to delay my superpowers like this?"

Mewtwo has a very strong explosive power.

However, it was only recently created, and its understanding of its own power was limited to situations where it was strong enough to make bricks fly.

That move just now emptied most of its energy, making it very difficult for it to maintain its power for a long time.

A few seconds later, the blue light on Mewtwo's body flickered intermittently, a sign that its psychic powers were about to end.

"Abandon the drink!"

The Forsaken, which had been hiding in the shadows, roared and launched a surprise attack. It suddenly appeared behind Mewtwo and slammed its heavy fist, which was wrapped in ghost energy, into Mewtwo!
Boom boom! ! !

Mewtwo was hit hard, and the pain in its back almost made it faint.

"Damn it... why is this power so strong...?"

At first, Mewtwo treated Li Xuan as a random solo player on the roadside.

As a result, only a few rounds have passed, and you've already killed Li Xuan like he was just a random roadside character.

"Want to continue? I really have some amazing moves I haven't used yet."

Li Xuan chuckled. This time, the Abandoned Monkey hadn't even used its Fist of Wrath yet.

Including the damage just received, the power of the Fist of Wrath is roughly between 100 and 150 damage, which is comparable to the power of a powerful ultimate move.

"No, my skills are not up to par. I hope Little Riolu can give me some pointers."

Mewtwo declined.

It was just a bit reckless, not stupid.

He couldn't even beat the abandoned monkey in a fistfight.

If I keep fighting like this...

It will only harm your own body.

If it can't beat them, it can't beat them. It's still a baby and has no real combat experience, so it's reasonable for it to lose to Li Xuan.

In its eyes, it had not received systematic training, nor had it gained any practical experience. Its first opponent was a terrifying being like Li Xuan, so it was normal for it to lose.

Well, that makes sense.

Absolutely reasonable!

Mewtwo convinced itself.

"Mio~" (See? I told you, not only is your kung fu lacking, but you're also not as good at controlling your strength as the Abandoned Monkey. Now you want me to teach you? I suppose you're convinced.)
"Mio~" (But there's something I need to say: you have to be able to endure hardship with me. Only Pokémon that can endure hardship can go the distance. You have talent, but I still hope you won't think you're invincible just because you're so talented.)
Little Riolu said a lot.

Mewtwo did not refute.

That's what it really thought before.

But after fighting Li Xuan, it completely shattered its arrogance.

"I understand, so what should I do next?"

Mewtwo adjusted his mindset and spoke sincerely.

"Mio." (Okay, then you'll be grilling meat with me from now on. I think there's a newly opened all-you-can-eat barbecue place around here. From now on, you'll have to use your superpowers to grill meat for me every day, okay?)

Little Riolu still can't stop thinking about its roasted meat.

Now that we have a new barbecue chef, we definitely have to make good use of him.

"Barbecue... I still have a question. What does using superpowers to barbecue have to do with improving my ability to control superpowers?"

Mewtwo felt like its brain's CPU was about to burn out.

It thought it was some kind of grueling training, but the result was just a seemingly ordinary, and actually quite ordinary, barbecue session...

Is this really not someone who's being treated like a barbecue chef?
"Mio." (I told you, this path is tedious and boring. If you find it useless, then I think you can leave now.)
Little Riolu looked disappointed.

Of course, he was disappointed that he was about to lose a barbecue chef.

"Well... I'll give it a try first."

Mewtwo thought, "Why not give it a try? I don't think I'll lose out."

"Mio." (Okay...okay, let's do it this way then. We'll go get some barbecue for lunch later, let me see how your skills are.)
Little Riolu almost jumped for joy.

But they still managed to restrain themselves.

It pretended nothing had happened and left unhurriedly.

Mewtwo followed closely behind.

Only Li Xuan and his three apprentices remained in the wilderness.

"Alright, now let me see how your training is going. Except for Lillie, Silver and Blue, you two step forward!"

"Yes!"*2
……

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

"Mio!" (Waaaaah, Li Xuan! I'm begging you to raise this Mewtwo! I owe you a favor, okay?!)

Early in the morning, little Riolu nestled in Li Xuan's arms and burst into tears.

Mewtwo is completely hopeless. He spent the whole day eating barbecue yesterday, but he didn't improve at all!
Little Riolu really wanted to swear.

It taught Mewtwo so much about controlling its power, but it didn't learn a single thing. Every time it grilled meat, it would turn the meat into charcoal because of its excessive psychic power, making it inedible!

Is this the normal learning ability of a Pokémon?
Aren't you supposed to be the strongest Psychic-type Pokémon?

But why can't I even grill the meat properly?

"No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Mewtwo is still a baby, you need to have a good attitude to teach it well. It's just that the barbecue was all burnt in one day, it's nothing, right?"

Li Xuan spoke earnestly.

These words, when they reached Little Riolu's ears, made it want to cry but had no tears.

"I don't care, I don't care, just take Mewtwo away today, okay? I don't want to eat charcoal-grilled meat for three meals in a row!" Little Riolu cried, giving Li Xuan a headache.

"Alright, alright, I happen to have a match this afternoon. How about this, I'll let it participate then, and I'll see what kind of situation it is."

I was playing against Matsuba this afternoon.

If the opponent is a trainer of Ghost-type Pokémon, and Mewtwo is sent, it's easy to fall into the opponent's clutches if you're not careful.

"Mio!" (Thank you so much, Li Xuan! I'll come pick up Mewtwo after you've finished setting it up! I owe you a huge favor this time!)

Little Riolu shed tears of emotion.

I was truly moved to tears today.

It really doesn't want to teach Pokémon from scratch!

forever!

After shedding his tears, Riolu used Teleport to leave.

Li Xuan also got up to check on his students.

"Master Li Xuan...zao Shanhao..."

Xiao Lan looked completely exhausted.

She was in intensive training from morning till night yesterday, which left her feeling too tired to move all day.

Fortunately.

The progress is considerable.

Blue's Pokémon have learned many new moves.

Next, we'll go to the Quartz Conference. As long as we don't encounter any outrageous opponents, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Good morning! Where did Xiao Yin go?

Li Xuan couldn't find any trace of Xiao Yin and wondered where she had gone.

"It seems they're going to check out the outskirts of Mt. Silver, saying they want to catch a Pokémon."

"Huh? Baiyin Mountain? Him?!"

Li Xuan's pupils widened.

Silver Mountain.

It is a place that the League has designated as off-limits to rookie trainers.

Not only novice trainers, but even elite trainers have to think twice before going there.

As a result, Little Silver, like a fool, went straight to Silver Mountain?!

Why didn't he tell me about this?

Li Xuanqi found it strange.

Normally.

Xiao Yin should have informed me before going to such a dangerous place.

"Because Gym Leader Giovanni was there too. He happened to be passing by after his match, and Silver mentioned that he was going to Mt. Silver. Gym Leader Giovanni overheard this and offered to help Silver go in."

Lillie then came over and told Li Xuan what had just happened.

Li Xuan: …

I'm so interested...

If it's made of wood, then it doesn't matter.

Banmu is Xiaoyin's biological father.

I can't just prevent them from seeing each other, can I?
"Since it's Master Banmu who's with us, then there's nothing to worry about."

Li Xuan smoothed his hair and chuckled a few times.

huh~
"You came?"

The psychic energy fluctuations came through, and Li Xuan knew without a doubt that Mewtwo had arrived.

"Little Riolu said he wants me to learn from you for a while. Are you sure you can help me improve my control?"

Mewtwo knew that Li Xuan was very strong.

But such a strong person is only strong in terms of physical strength; whether they are good at teaching remains to be seen.

"No problem, no problem. I've taught three apprentices here, they're not just all talk. But, I focus on practical combat, and I specialize in the Sleepy Arhat Fist teaching method. If you want to learn it, you might have to put it in a Poké Ball."

Li Xuan took out the Master Ball.

Mewtwo's power is too immense, and it is not yet able to fully control its power. Using ordinary Poké Balls makes it vulnerable to damage from its psychic abilities, but Master Balls are different.

Although he didn't know what material it was made of, Li Xuan was certain that with Mewtwo's current strength, it was impossible for it to destroy the Master Ball.

Of course, if Mewtwo's power were stronger and it were to cause external damage, the Master Ball would also explode.

This incident occurred between Ulrich and Talebages.

Masterballs are not invincible; they can be destroyed directly.

"You want to subdue me?"

Mewtwo knows what entering the Poké Ball means.

This means that from now on, he will be Li Xuan's subordinate.

"Pretty much. I know what you're thinking. I don't treat Pokémon like servants when I catch them. Pokémon are my partners, my family. If you don't want to go into a Poké Ball, then the Sleepy Pistol Technique isn't for you."

This teaching method is a systematic one, and the specific training methods used in dreams vary depending on individual circumstances.

"..."

Mewtwo is silent.

Looking at the Master Ball that Li Xuan took out, it still walked forward and touched the middle button.

boom~
Mewtwo transformed into a red light and entered the Master Ball.

Conquered successfully.

"Alright, that counts as catching Mewtwo."

Li Xuan won over the "reversal sister," not the "reversal brother."

I wonder what it will be like when Giovanni comes to watch his battle and sees him commanding Mewtwo.

Just thinking about it is quite amusing.

"Alright, we still need to prepare before the match. Let me give you a speedrun to help you control your power. When you fight this afternoon, you need to suppress your strength to the same level as your opponent, understand?"

Li Xuan is very skilled at controlling energy.

When he helped Sabrina earlier, he used his Aura to guide the energy and achieve the effect of control.

Don't be fooled by how powerful Mewtwo is.

In fact.

This is what was previously referred to as "the powerful brick flies."

In this situation, you can simply guide them using techniques.

It's so convenient!

Li Xuan released Mewtwo and told it what he was going to do later.

Are you... sure you can do this?

"Well, you'll see soon enough."

With that, Li Xuan told Mewtwo to go ahead and attack him.

Mewtwo did as instructed.

then……

"Li Xuan, I, Chao Meng, am willing to call you the strongest!"

The woman who turned the tables was completely won over by Li Xuan.

This feeling was unlike anything it had ever experienced before.

Mewtwo sensed that the future is bright!
……

……

The time comes in the afternoon.

Li Xuan's battle arrived as scheduled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Kanto and Johto region gym battle! I'm your host, Moderator B, and I'm very happy to be here to commentate on the battle between Gym Leader Li Xuan and Gym Leader Matsuha!"
