Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

……

In the picture—

Looking at the unpalatable food on the table, the group decided to skip it for now.

I could barely manage to eat it.

But according to Shigeru's description, Cynthia really did refuse to eat the food in front of her that could barely be called food.

While there is still enough time.

Cynthia immediately booked a flight to Sinnoh.

I visited the research institute on Tianguan Mountain again.

This time, the research institute was no longer empty.

Then three more people appeared at the research institute.

The institute's doors were opened.

The three of them looked over at the same time.

After seeing that it was Cynthia and Gary.

The group nodded in acknowledgment and then paid no further attention.

Instead, Dr. Hodaka, the ultimate executor of the Dream Project, excitedly approached the three of them.

"This must be Ash. I am Professor Hodaka, the executor of the Dream Project."

Dr. Hodaka doesn't look very old.

However, his unshaven face made him look like a weathered middle-aged man in his forties.

"Hello, I'm Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu."

"Pickup!"

As they spoke, Ash and Pikachu simultaneously greeted Professor Hodaka.

Dr. Hodaka warmly welcomed Ash and Pikachu to sit down inside the research institute.

When Professor Hodaka learned that Ash had completed the challenge to join the club.

After successfully obtaining the Moltres' feather.

Dr. Hodaka's words were full of praise for Satoshi.

Upon hearing this news...

The two people leaning against the wall turned to look at Xiaozhi.

This young boy, who doesn't look very old, actually has such great strength.

They couldn't help but think more highly of Xiao Zhi.

Subsequently.

Dr. Hodaka pulled a remote control from the side and then turned on the screen in the research institute.

Followed by.

Dr. Hodaka then recounted his dream plan.

"The goal of Project Dream is to find the Dream that inhabits Table Mountain on a certain island. The project can only be carried out during the week between the rainy season and the dry season. If this period is exceeded, the area will turn into the rainy season again, shrouded in thick fog, making exploration difficult."

When it comes to excitement.

Dr. Hodaka's eyes sparkled with a longing for the unknown.

For a PhD.

Nothing is more exciting than exploring locations.

just.

After listening to Professor Hodaka's explanation, Xiaozhi...

The expression on his face was somewhat strange.

Especially when he talks about a certain island.

Xiao Zhi thought it was a bit outrageous.

"Dr. Hodaka, I'd like to ask if you really understand Mew? Do you know Mew's habits?"

Xiao Zhi raised his hand to ask a question.

Even Pikachu on Ash's shoulder sensed something was wrong.

What Dr. Hodaka said completely contradicted what Ash knew about Mew.

But then he heard Ash's question.

The atmosphere inside the research institute froze instantly!

"Do you know what you're saying?" Xiao Jian asked angrily!

Professor Hodaka waved his hand, instead praising Ash's courage to ask questions.

He looked at Xiaozhi with great interest.

"That's right. Mew's habits are a mystery to the entire scientific community. As we all know, Mew is the most mysterious Pokémon in the world, so much so that no one really knows where Mew lives."

"This is also the reason why our Dream Project was launched, and the island mentioned in the project is based on the place in the world where the most Dreams have been observed in the past ten years."

"Therefore, I boldly conclude that this island is where Mew dwells. However, the environment on this island is truly harsh, and we can only select the most powerful trainers to go and investigate."

After Professor Hodaka finished speaking, he silently looked at Ash, hoping to see a surprised expression on Ash's face.

However, Ash remained unmoved.

Xiao Zhi pointed to the island on the screen inside the research institute.

He then spoke to Dr. Hodaka in a definitive tone.

"If you're talking about this island, I think you're probably looking in the wrong direction. I happened to visit this island a while ago, and the Pokémon that live there aren't Mew."

Instead, it's another Pokémon born from Mew, named Mewtwo. Mewtwo has a bad temper, and I advise you not to mess with it.

Xiao Zhi said with a serious expression.

The other two, who had been looking completely at ease, suddenly turned their gazes toward Xiao Zhi.

The same goes for Dr. Hodaka.

He almost pressed his head against Ash's face.

Then, in a trembling voice, he said...

Is what you're saying true? Is there any evidence to confirm it?

After all, Project Dream can be considered Dr. Hodaka's life's work.

If Xiao Zhi's information is correct, then it means that all his efforts over the years have been in vain.

"Hey, your name is Xiaozhi, right? Please don't talk nonsense. Everything requires evidence."

Swordsman's gaze lingered on Ash with hostility.

As one of the first people to be involved in Project Dream, he knew very well what Ash meant by those words.

Another member, Asahi, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

however.

He faced the gazes of the three people.

Xiao Zhi, however, was not afraid at all.

He swept his confident gaze across the three men's faces.

Then he said it with utmost solemnity.

"I can swear on what I say, and if I could, I could even take you to see Mewtwo."

just now.

Ash has already contacted Mewtwo through the psychic shield that Mewtwo set up in his mind.

After explaining the reasons.

Mewtwo agreed without hesitation.

Although Mewtwo's attitude towards Mew has always been ambiguous.

But what if a group of people keep coming in search of a dream and keep disturbing its life?

Mewtwo might actually go for the kill.

after all.

Mewtwo's kindness was reserved only for Ash and the Pokémon that had been harmed by humans.

Professor Oak: I feel like Hodaka is being a bit reckless. That's Mewtwo, why has he gone to explore that island so many times?

[Professor Birch: Is it possible that he didn't know Mewtwo existed? Otherwise, no one would deliberately provoke Mewtwo.]
