Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

Corpses littered the roads along the way.

Dark Mewtwo didn't make any big movements at all; it simply floated behind Chi Hong and used its powerful psychic abilities to crush the rampaging beast that tried to attack Chi Hong into a meat patty.

"How exactly do these tyrannical pet beasts come about? Under what kind of ecosystem do they appear?"

Chi Hong began to think. He continued moving until he reached a dilapidated town, where the attacks by the ferocious pet beasts finally stopped.

When Chi Hong and his three companions arrived at this place, they were all quite shocked.

The fact that a town existed in such a forbidden area was something everyone found incredibly unbelievable at the time.

However, Chi Hong can now roughly deduce that this forbidden area was created after a certain "forbidden area descending into reality" was completely successful.

If you understand it this way, it makes perfect sense.

"Aren't you leaving? What are you waiting for?" Dark Chao asked, puzzled, as he saw Chi Hong stop in his tracks.

According to the location Chi Hong stated at the beginning, they should not have reached their destination yet.

"I encountered the Flamebringer here. It was because of that silly bird that my first legendary Pokémon, Galarian Moltres, came into being."

"I want to see if the Evil Flame Bone Bird is just a big, silly bird."

Chi Hong answered honestly, keeping his head up and staring at the sky as he spoke.

"Whatever." Dark Mewtwo didn't care. It just closed its eyes slightly. As a first-level god, even if Dark Mewtwo was asleep here at this time and snoring, no violent pet could harm a hair on Chi Hong's head.

"That golden rabbit-headed man from back then, look at how things have changed over time."

"Could there be other similar primordial beasts?"

Chi Hong looked at the sky, nudged Dark Mewtwo with his elbow, and asked.

"What do you mean?" Dark Mewtwo opened its eyes, glanced at Chi Hong, and asked in return.

"Aren't you quite compatible?" Chi Hong smiled and explained, "That Mewtwo guy might come out and keep you company."

"You two seem to be at odds on the surface, but actually have a great understanding, right?"

"Nonsense..." Dark Mewtwo blushed. "Anyone knows we're the same, there's no real difference between us."

Ultimately, artificial Pokémon are merely a product of humanity's desire for power, a product of desire itself.

Chi Hong nodded, said nothing more, and waited for a while longer. The surroundings were deathly silent, without a sound.

"Looks like there's no other big silly bird."

"Let's go, let's head towards that location."

Chi Hong shook his head slightly, somewhat disappointed. He took a few steps forward, only to find that Dark Mewtwo was still floating in the same spot, looking up at the sky.

"......."

"Dark Mewtwo's perception is indeed beyond my reach."

"It can be considered a concrete manifestation of the word 'superpower' itself."

Then, Dark Mewtwo nodded slightly to Chi Hong, and then unleashed a powerful aura that shot into the sky!

Above the clouds, there was a large bird whose body crackled with lightning—yes, it was the Skeleton Bird!

It was flying happily in the air when a black figure suddenly appeared in front of it.

Driven by its primal instincts as a tyrannical beast, it was about to attack!

The Evil Thunder Bone Bird screeched as it unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning, but Dark Mewtwo flicked its hand, instantly shattering the lightning!

Then, Dark Mewtwo grabbed Raikou by the neck and swooped down from the sky!

boom!!

Chi Hong raised his hand and waved away the dust that rose in front of him.

Before his eyes, a bone bird wrapped in electricity was slammed to the ground by Dark Mewtwo. The bone bird was still struggling when Dark Mewtwo saw this and delivered a flying kick to its head!

Chi Hong could even hear the sound of the bone bird's skull cracking.

That was way too heavy-handed!!

"Click~~"

A Poké Ball appeared in his hand.

"This time it's Zapdos, it was definitely worth the trip." Chi Hong put away the Poké Ball, then took out another Poké Ball and threw it at the Bone Bird that had been put to sleep by a big kick from Dark Mewtwo.

As expected, the legendary pet beast, the Evil Thunder Bone Bird, was tamed.

Chi Hong couldn't help but sigh. Back when he was here, dealing with that Evil Flame Bone Bird had given him a splitting headache, and he really thought he was going to die.

But now, it's as easy as drinking water!

"Looking at the sky is to find this guy, right?"

"I can't stand you anymore, get on with your work."

"I can't even warm up."

Dark Mewtwo urged.

"That's why I'm willing to let you out. If it were Rayquaza, he would definitely yell that he'd blow this place up to end it all, and Groudon would probably be the same..." Chi Hong said with a smile.

"Yes, you're right." Dark Mewtwo nodded in agreement. "They're from Hoenn, so they tend to have short tempers and aren't very sophisticated."

"As for Lugia, there's no water here, I'm afraid it won't like it. As for Yveltal, if we're not careful, all the living ones will die..."

"You're the most sensible one!!"

Chi Hong gave Dark Mewtwo a thumbs-up in praise.

"snort....."

Dark Mewtwo snorted, but for some reason, it couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Chi Hong and Dark Mewtwo continued moving forward until...

"Found it." Chi Hong turned his head and looked at a location.

There was a corner there, and a little boy was crouching in the corner, spying on Chi Hong.

Upon realizing that Chi Hong had seen him, the little boy was so frightened that he immediately shrank back and tried to run away, but trying to escape in front of Chi Hong was simply a joke.

Chi Hong caught up with the little boy effortlessly, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and tore the boy's clothes completely to shreds...

The little boy looked at his clothes with a pained expression, then turned and ran away again with his head down!

"Why are you running...?"

"I'm not some ruthless killer!"

Chi Hong reached out to the little boy, and a wave-guided force shot out. In an instant, the little boy felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step at all.

Chi Hong took off his coat, walked over, and draped it over the little boy.

Then, Chi Hong squatted down in front of the little boy, pointed to his face, and said, "From today onwards, I am your older brother."

"You can take my surname, Chi, and your name will be Chi Ye."

"Do you understand?"

"Sigh, forget it, why don't you give him a little bit?"

Chi Hong looked at Dark Mewtwo and said.

"Let me see." Dark Mewtwo placed its hand on the little boy's head, and a few seconds later...

"No, this child's mental strength..."

"I'm afraid he's no less capable than your precious younger brother. He hasn't grasped certain things yet, and at such a young age, with a little guidance..."

Dark Mewtwo released its grip, a hint of admiration in its eyes.

"Hey...."

"All the talented people in the world can be put to my use."

"Brother!"

"Tell me your name!!"

Chi Hong stood up, slapped the little boy on the head, and asked loudly.

"Ike...Ikeno...?"

The little boy stammered, his face filled with terror as he answered...
