Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

Bictini, on the other hand, was contemplating a matter, or a vision of the future.

Before Mewtwo joined, it was Mewtwo and Roko who formed the main mental connection, creating the mental power component of 'Dark Hero'.

However, its mental strength is clearly insufficient compared to the energy it can provide.

Aside from its exploratory function, it is simply no match for Rocco's physical abilities.

But Mewtwo is different.

If it were to form the spiritual component of 'Dark Hero'...

Hey.

Victini's eyes lit up at the mere thought of this scenario.

Perfect, so perfect!

When they are combined, they are invincible!

...

Tiangang, Tianwu Dojo.

In the past, apart from the challengers, the only people who participated in the activities here were the disciples of the dojo, but today a guest has come.

A guest whom Lan Tianwu personally received.

"Hmm...so you mean the Dark Hero appeared and then dispersed the massive tsunami that was powerful enough to destroy Skyport...Tianwu, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Sitting opposite Lan Tianwu was a man wearing a long overcoat, sitting casually, with hair as messy as a bird's nest.

He looks exactly like a homeless person.

If there's anything commendable about him, it's his eyes.

Those eyes, which seemed out of place on him, were incredibly clear, transparent, and sharp-eyed.

“Old Ma, after you learned about the huge riots in Tiangang, you even handed over the Superpower Gym to someone else and came to help immediately. How could I lie to you about something like this?”

"Although I also feel that there are too many surreal aspects to this situation, it really happened."

Lan Tianwu was also somewhat helpless, not knowing how to explain, and could only emphasize the truth of the matter.

The man sitting opposite him, seeing his appearance, no longer suspected anything.

"Reality is indeed more beyond imagination than absurd stories. After all, stories need logic, but reality does not."

"Anyway, it's good that everything is alright."

Upon hearing him say this, Lan Tianwu smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Yes, but I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing—I'll treat you to a nice meal in Tiangang later."

"Okay, but if I had to say, it wasn't a wasted trip."

The man also smiled.

"When I came in, I heard your gym disciples talking about that phantom trainer. He should still be in Skyport, right?"

"Although as the dojo master, he should have challenged me after he came to my city. But after watching that exhibition match, I knew that I, Zuo Ma, was no match for him."

"I was planning to challenge him when he came to my city, to test my skills and tactics, and also to give him the badge."

"Now that we've run into each other here, I might as well bring this matter forward and challenge him now."

3. Insights from overcoming mental barriers

Since Luo Ke had already decided to become stronger, he naturally had a series of plans in mind before he started to work hard.

Using one's mastery of power to perform some 'superhuman feats' is only the first step, and the real purpose is not those 'superhuman feats,' but to deepen one's understanding of power.

As for the plan to truly make oneself stronger, it's not simply about training, but rather—waveguides!

In the real Pokémon world, not everyone can master Aura, but Roko is a 'super rookie,' a title that generally refers to Ash.

Xiao Zhi is one of the few people who can play with waveguides.

Therefore, when Luo Ke thought about becoming stronger, the first thing that came to mind was waveguides.

However, this matter cannot be rushed. After he completes this stage of his training, he will use his connections to inquire whether there are any researchers in this world studying waveguides. If so, he will go there next.

If not, then I'll have to find a Lucario to study.

In short, this is Rocco's plan, so by training with him, Mewtwo also began to understand its own power by studying the moves.

boom!

Mewtwo stared at the training post that had been torn in two, lost in thought as it channeled its mental energy.

“Using mental power to attack, generally speaking, the most direct way to cause damage is through special damage. This is also the simplest, most stable, and most efficient way to use mental power.”

"To unleash a physical attack using mental power, one would either use telekinesis to control the opponent, causing them to slam, tear, or..."

As it said this, Mewtwo narrowed its eyes, and then its psychic power instantly transformed into a tangible blade that swept out horizontally, cleaving the training post that it had lifted with its psychic power into four pieces in one fell swoop.

"...Using mental energy to construct a blade, or if that doesn't work, gathering power in the body and using it for physical attacks, is also an option. However, the most powerful move would be a headbutt attack, regardless of its power, as it would leave too many openings in actual combat."

"Moreover, whether it's a blade or a headbutt, they all have a preparatory step, which will inevitably cause some damage. In addition, because they have a physical carrier, the silent and invisible characteristics of psychic moves are lost, and they become the same type of moves that can be easily dodged by Pokémon with fast reaction and speed."

As it said this, Mewtwo's eyes widened, and in just a moment, without seeing any carrier, the wooden stake that had been divided into four pieces exploded instantly, turning into countless wood chips that scattered on the ground.

"But I'm different."

"Given the quantity and quality of my mental energy, and the fact that I am naturally able to materialize it at will, if I want to use my mental energy to cause a physical attack, I can completely maintain it as silent and invisible as telekinesis or mental power, and then cause a physical attack."

"No loss."

"Yes, I have a deeper understanding of mental power."

"As for this move—let's call it Mental Break!"

Mewtwo gained a new understanding, and then, like a proud child, it went to Rocco and Victini, who had just stopped training, to show off its achievements to its 'parents'.

Necrozma offered many suggestions for improving this mental attack, and even the Fairy King's Sword unusually offered a few words of advice.

Luo Ke, on the other hand, seemed to realize something.

Mental Break is Mewtwo's signature move in the game.

It has a power of 100 and is a special attack, but the damage is calculated based on physical defense.

In the game, this is a strategic move, since there are no normal attacks besides struggling. With physical and special attacks separated, and because stacking buffs requires seizing opportunities, it's almost impossible to stack both attack and special attacks simultaneously in a real battle.

Not to mention the issues of physical attack and special attack base stats.

However, Mewtwo's move allows it to exert the same amount of physical attack power even when only its special attack is stacked. It also effectively boosts its physical attack stat without diluting other stats, allowing it to easily switch between physical and special attacks.

Overall, it's still a pretty iconic move.

However, unlike Victini's V-Blaze, Mewtwo clearly didn't know this move before, and since it's its signature move, if it doesn't know it itself, no one else can teach it.

So it seems that this unique skill was indeed developed based on its own characteristics.

That makes sense, otherwise why would those legendary beasts only use their unique moves under normal circumstances...?

Thinking of this, Rocco looked at Bictini.

Although he didn't know if the real-world Rayquaza could use V-Blast like the Rayquaza given away in the game, at least in the game this move was no longer exclusive to Victini.

However, if Rayquaza in real life could learn V-Blast...

Victini should also be able to learn the signature moves of the Black and White Dragons and Kyurem, right...?

Rocco was thinking this, while Victini, listening to Mewtwo's experience of developing Psychic Break, judged that its control over power had improved somewhat during this period.

I feel like I should also develop some moves based on my own characteristics.

Luo Ke is a gamer, but even gamers can't remember every detail in a game, especially the details of some mythical beasts, not to mention that Victini is somewhat deceptive in the game.

V-Blast, as Victini's signature move, perfectly matches its image. Before the release of V-Blast Rayquaza in 2012, it was indeed Victini's exclusive move.

So, it's perfectly normal for you to treat this trick as exclusive to a mythical beast that can't be obtained through normal means, right?

But actually, that's not the trick.

Or rather, Bictini has two unique special moves.

Fireball sounds quite ordinary and is easily confused with the later Fireball, and it doesn't really fit Victini's image, but this is Victini's second signature move!

It has a power of 100 and a 30% chance of burning the opponent.

Now that Victini has some control over its power, it is about to start developing this move.

However, Mewtwo's Psychic Break not only affected Victini, but also made Dual Blades ponder from the very beginning.

Mewtwo made no secrets from Rocco and the others.

So when the Twin Scabbards heard Mewtwo’s entire idea of ​​developing Spirit Break, they immediately thought of their own situation.

Mewtwo was able to develop Psychic Break by relying on its massive, high-quality, and naturally materialized mental energy.

What about it?

Its spiritual power is also different from that of ordinary Ghost-type Pokémon, having been tempered with a sharp edge. If it were developed according to the principle of developing Spirit Breaker in Mewtwo... could it also develop a unique move that fully utilizes this spiritual power?

Spiritual power shattered?

There's something going on!

......

4. He's such a good person!

Inspired by this, both the dual scabbards and Victini practiced extra.

After learning about the inspiration behind the twin scabbards, the Fairy King's Sword, though not optimistic that it could rely on this feature to execute a powerful move, still helped it with special training.

Only Ditto and Necrozma's training remains the same.

Necrozma is completely unaffected by this.

On the surface, it is only teaching Ditto martial arts, but in reality, its body is constantly receiving the power from the Z-Move, and its consciousness is gradually unlocking as the light accumulates on it.

It is constantly recovering.

So when Ditto found out about this, it couldn't sit still.

It was already at the bottom of the team, and now everyone else is running, while it's still slowly climbing forward, which is somewhat unacceptable to it.

This forced Ditto to increase its training volume!

It doesn't possess the Fairy King's Sword or special spiritual power; it's not a mythical beast or divine beast. As an ordinary spirit, this is the only thing it can do.

It was already in the training field before everyone else got up in the morning, and it said it wanted to practice a little longer when everyone else was going to sleep at night.

Relying on its enhanced physical abilities after transforming into Loko, Ditto devoted all its time, except for eating and sleeping, to the training ground.

There is not a single moment to relax.

It felt that this was the effort that the most ordinary member of the team should put in.

Everyone can see that.

Bictini considered trying to persuade it, but Rocco stopped her.

He remained silent about Ditto's insane training, but secretly contacted Alice, Tensei, and even Eureka, spending a large sum of money to prepare everything Ditto needed to the highest standard.

The best equipment, the most ideal diet, the best resting space—the most advanced recovery equipment newly launched by Tian Sui, modified from a device that stores Mewtwo...

Leave no hidden dangers.

He didn't tell Ditto any of this; he simply and naturally resolved all the potential problems that might arise later.

This is what Rocco feels he can do as a trainer.

When your partner makes up their mind to do something, believe in them and support them!

Loko's actions made Mewtwo's eyes light up.

Lately, he's been constantly talking about things like friendship and trust.

He really likes this team.
