Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 212 Mewtwo's terrifying strength, the champion's defeat! Ash makes his appearance!

The freezing ray carried by the ice tornado shattered instantly, turning into countless ice crystals. Then it turned around and poured down on Lorelei's six Pokémon like a storm!

Neither Kona nor Laplace had expected to be hit back by their own moves.

To be able to directly deflect an attack, one must either use a technique like mirror reflection or possess strength far exceeding that of the attacker.

Mewtwo is clearly the latter. She used her raw power to reflect all the attacks back. Mirror Reflection requires the user to take damage before it can reflect back, but she simply crushed all the attacks with her psychic powers and then reflected them back.

The reflected blizzard hit Lorelei's Pokémon, blowing Lapras and the others away and covering them in frost.

Ice-type damage is only moderately powerful for them, but the reflected attack also carried Mewtwo's psychic power, which caused them considerable damage.

Seeing the miserable state of her Pokémon, Lorelei's pupils suddenly contracted, and the ominous feeling in her heart became a reality!
Her all-out attack, powered by six Champion-level Pokémon, proved utterly ineffective against Mewtwo.

Mewtwo didn't even use any exaggerated moves; he simply used his psychic powers to effortlessly deflect all the attacks and even bounce them back.

This absolute dominance caused Kona's back to break out in a cold sweat. She finally realized what an invincible existence she was facing.

Mewtwo is definitely not at her peak as a champion. Her strength is not even in the same league as when she battled Ash. They are completely incomparable!

Back then, Mewtwo was powerful, even stronger than a champion at his peak, but it was still at the 'champion' level. But the current Mewtwo only gave Lorelei one feeling, and that was... God!

Only a 'god' could do something like instantly crushing six champion-level Pokémon. Moreover, among these six Pokémon, there was one peak champion and two advanced champions. With this kind of lineup, unless facing a god-level opponent, Lorelei wouldn't know how to lose.

But of all things... this time we encountered it.

The God Realm level is a chasm that is difficult for humans to cross. Humans have never had a God Realm level expert in public. The gap between the God Realm level and the Champion level is roughly equivalent to the gap between the Champion level and the Professional level, or even greater.

Even a champion at their peak would shatter upon encountering a beginner-level god; this is the difference between immortals and mortals.

Previously, Mewtwo's strength had not yet reached the level of a god, which Lorelei was certain of. However, Ash's Lucario had indeed reached the level of a god, so defeating Mewtwo was as easy as killing a chicken.

Now, Mewtwo's strength has reached the God Realm level, and facing his six Pokémon is even easier for him than Lucario did for her back then.

After all, Mewtwo was practically at the God Realm level back then, and among her Pokémon, even Lapras hadn't explored that level at all, as if the Champion level was already her limit.

Therefore, this vast difference in strength has created the current situation, and even though she is Kona, she can only feel a sense of despair now.

"Right now, perhaps only Leon can handle Mewtwo, but Leon can't Dynamax here, and his Charizard might not be a match for Mewtwo. In any case, we need to get Shiba and the others over first. If we don't control the situation here, Kanto will be the first to perish."

Kona has a strong mental fortitude; after the initial despair, she quickly suppressed her negative emotions and started thinking about how to resolve the situation.

She definitely can't solve it by herself, and the only trainer in the world who has a chance of defeating Mewtwo is Leon. But if Leon can't Dynamax, it's like he's lost an arm. And if Leon comes from the Galar region, they would have been wiped out long ago.

So the best course of action is to ask the Kanto Elite Four for help. Lance has already returned from his infiltration of Team Rocket, and Shiba and Kiku have been near the Indigo Plateau. They should be able to get here in less than ten minutes. We just need to hold on for another ten minutes.

Kona took a deep breath, then pulled open her blue shirt and reached inside to press a button.

That is the Heavenly King's emergency communication device. Each of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto has one. Once this device is activated, it means that the initiator is in a life-or-death situation. Any of the Four Heavenly Kings nearby must put down what they are doing and go to provide support immediately!
The device is equipped with the most advanced positioning system in the alliance, which can clearly display the location even in extreme environments.

As Kona pressed the button, her slightly panicked mind calmed down. Next, she needed to figure out how to hold on for ten minutes. If she couldn't even hold on for ten minutes, then that was just her fate.

The reason for not choosing to send all four Elite Four members at the beginning was partly because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the person behind Mewtwo. If the other party ran away, it would be difficult to catch them again. Therefore, they chose to send Lorelei, who was able to freeze the other party, alone.

Kona was very confident in her abilities, so she didn't say much and chose to go alone.

However, Mewtwo's power was clearly far beyond their imagination. A divine realm level was something that a champion could not handle, and even six champion-level Pokémon could not be a match for a divine realm level.

If four champion trainers came, even if they couldn't defeat Mewtwo, they could at least put up a fight against it and take the opportunity to destroy Team Rocket's technology beneath the island.

Leaving aside the potential harm Mewtwo might cause, the most important thing is the Team Rocket technology below. They must destroy it, otherwise, if the League finds out, something very bad might happen.

Not everyone in the alliance is a righteous and noble person.

But now that she can barely take care of herself, she shouldn't think about such things. Instead, she should think about how to survive for ten minutes.

"You must be one of the best human trainers, right? Those six Pokémon were indeed quite strong, but I'm not the same person I was back then. Today, you will all be staying here." As Mewtwo finished speaking, the ground next to the arena opened up again, and the black Poké Ball flew out once more.

Currently, among Lorelei's Pokémon, only Lapras can still stand up; the others are still struggling to break free of the frost covering them.

This was clearly a move they unleashed, yet it has now had such a significant impact on them. If word gets out, it will truly be a laughing stock.

But now it's not a matter of whether or not the news gets out. The black Poké Balls are rapidly approaching Lorelei's Pokémon. Once captured, even a Champion-level Pokémon won't be able to escape. This is because it's not just Team Rocket's technology; Mewtwo's power has also been incorporated. Therefore, these Poké Balls possess a much stronger binding force than the original versions, making it impossible for even a Champion-level Pokémon to break free easily.

By the time they broke free from the Poké Ball, Mewtwo had already copied them.

"boom!!"

Just as the Poké Ball was about to hit Lorelei's Pokémon, and Lapras was about to forcefully gather his strength to use Ice Beam, a bright blue energy blast appeared out of nowhere in the path of the pile of black Poké Balls and exploded!

The violent explosion shattered all the Poké Balls into pieces. Mewtwo looked toward the location from which the energy blast had originated, and saw Ash slowly lower his raised arm, staring back at Mewtwo without flinching.

"It's you again. Haven't you come to terms with reality? Even the top trainers among you humans are no match for me. You can see that my strength is completely different from before, right? Unless you can bring out a Pokémon with the same power as before, your resistance is futile."

Mewtwo's cold voice echoed in Ash's mind and in everyone's mind, as if it wanted to make everyone feel despair even more.

"How did you know that my Lucario can no longer use that power?" Ash didn't refute Mewtwo's words, but asked Mewtwo with a bit of curiosity.

The fact that his Lucario no longer possessed the power it had when battling Mewtwo is something only Lorelei and the others probably know. Even Giovanni likely doesn't know if Lucario's power has declined, because he didn't see it.

Mewtwo was also unconscious at the time, so how did she know that Lucario no longer had the power it had back then?
'After leaving the league, I went to see you.'

Ash: !!!
Mewtwo's words gave Ash a sudden shock. He finally understood why Mewtwo knew that Gardevoir contained her spiritual essence. It turned out that Mewtwo had come to find him before!

It was at that time that Mewtwo discovered the anomaly within Gardevoir, and it was also at that time that Mewtwo realized Lucario no longer possessed the power it had when battling him.

Because he had been training his Pokémon the previous week, and all of them had been released outside for training, Mewtwo was able to immediately sense the state of Gardevoir and Lucario with its perception.

Ash just couldn't understand why Gardevoir hadn't discovered Mewtwo back then. If it had discovered Mewtwo at that time, things might have turned out the way they are today.

"Back when I was at the Viridian Gym, I asked you..." Mewtwo combined the spiritual essence she discovered in Ash's Gardevoir after leaving the League with the question she had asked at the Viridian Gym, and concluded that Ash had deceived her back then.

That's why she's completely disillusioned with humanity. Even Ash is like that, so is there anything in the human world that she can trust?
Ash finally understood everything. Even though the situation was very serious, he still felt a mix of laughter and tears. It turned out that all of this was caused by him, and what was even more absurd was that it was all just a misunderstanding!

He didn't deceive Mewtwo at all; it was just that Mewtwo misunderstood. The power she sensed at the Viridian Gym was completely different from the spiritual essence in Gardevoir.

But now, no matter what he says, Mewtwo will think it's an excuse. Even if he takes out a Mega Stone, Mewtwo won't agree. After all, he has tried to communicate with Mewtwo many times before, but Mewtwo has rejected him each time.

The only way to get her to listen to people properly is to defeat Mewtwo.

Lorelei, however, had a different feeling after hearing what Mewtwo said. She could sense Ash's importance in Mewtwo's heart. Not only did she go to Ash as soon as she recovered, but Ash's betrayal also caused her to turn to the dark side. This shows Ash's status in Mewtwo's heart.

She didn't know how Ash did it, but she knew that the one who tied the knot must untie it; Ash was the one who had to untie Mewtwo's knot. However, that would be something to do after defeating Mewtwo.

She wouldn't stop to listen to anyone properly until she defeats Mewtwo, but the problem now is... defeating Mewtwo is incredibly difficult.

According to Mewtwo's explanation, more than three minutes have passed. If we hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive. With the Elite Four gathered, we might be able to try and defeat Mewtwo.

I just don't know if Mewtwo will give them that time...

"You have no means of resisting now. If you obediently hand over all your Pokémon, I can spare your lives. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary." Mewtwo's threatening words echoed in everyone's minds, her gaze fixed on Ash, as if wanting to see what he would choose.

Should they hand over all the elves to save their lives, or should they fight to the death?

"Don't even think about it, Mewtwo. I will never abandon my partner, and not just my partner, but you too. I will definitely bring you back!" Ash's powerful words echoed throughout the arena.

He patted Pikachu's head at his feet and whispered, "Pikachu, I'm entrusting everyone's protection to you. Leave the rest to me."

"Pikachu!!" Pikachu nodded and gave Ash a thumbs up.

Charizard with favorable winds, Pikachu against them, a true rookie in dire straits!
Whenever faced with an insurmountable crisis, Ash always steps forward and uses his immense power to resolve it. Even when facing a being with divine power, Pikachu still believes in Ash because Ash has never disappointed him since they met.

After explaining Pikachu's abilities, Ash took off his backpack and released all his friends: Venusaur, Blastoise, Gardevoir, Lucario, Gengar, Pikachu, and Togepi. This was Ash's full team.

It's practically Ash's strongest lineup!
However, against an opponent of Mewtwo's caliber, this lineup is, to put it bluntly, nothing more than a chicken or a dog.

Ash released them not so they could battle Mewtwo, but so that his battle with Mewtwo wouldn't affect his friends.

Then, in full view of everyone, Ash walked step by step toward Mewtwo: "From now on, I will be your opponent."
