Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer.

"Hmm. (This apple is of very good quality; you can eat some to tide you over.)"

"Master Xiong, you should eat more too. There's a tough battle to fight later." Karl took the apple that Martial Arts Master Xiong handed him and took a big bite. "Mmm! So sweet."

"Huh? (You mean that Pokémon that's using its psychic powers to spy on us?)" Kumamoto paused in his food-grabbing motion. "Huh? (I don't understand what it's doing.)"

"It's alright, you'll understand in a bit." Karl smiled mysteriously, while the "Long-winged Gull," who was engrossed in eating nearby, began to look forward to what was about to happen after hearing the conversation between the two.

About half an hour later, Carl's Pokémon had finished their afternoon tea and were sitting around Carl, chatting quietly.

Just then, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, and the trainers in the hall started arguing because of this sudden change.

Then Joey's voice, shrouded in black, rang out in the darkness:

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The strongest Pokémon Trainer is about to appear."

As Joey in his black robes finished speaking, a blinding light shone down from the top of the spiral staircase.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely imposing figure appeared within the pillar of light.

As the figure descended from the sky, all the trainers in the hall could clearly see the appearance of the "newcomer".

That was a Pokémon with a silver-white body, purple eyes, belly and tail, and an appearance that resembled a humanoid feline. It was the master of the new island, the only designated comeback king in the Pokémon world - Miu Two!

Chapter 91 Don't you want to battle me, the strongest trainer?

As Mewtwo landed slowly, Nurse Joy's voice rang out again: "This is both the strongest Pokémon Trainer and the most powerful Pokémon—Master Mewtwo."

"Mewtwo?" Ash muttered the name of Mewtwo, his eyes fixed on the figure in the beam of light.

Just then, a hot-tempered trainer slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "Pokémon are Pokémon trainers? What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Is that not allowed?" Joey's indifferent voice in the black robe rang out simultaneously with a cold male voice: "I set my own rules."

Some astute trainers have already realized that something is wrong, because they discovered that the latter's voice is appearing directly in their minds.

Xiao Gang frowned deeply: "This is... telepathy?"

As is well known, telepathy is a skill possessed only by powerful Psychic-type Pokémon, aside from a few exceptionally gifted ones.

Seeing that the hot-tempered trainer still dared to look at him with resentment, Mewtwo slowly raised his hand, and a powerful burst of psychic energy erupted instantly.

The next second, the stubborn trainer was thrown into the pool next to him by Mewtwo.

Karl watched this scene, his lips twitching slightly. He said he looked down on humans, but he only threw them into the pool. He really is a hypocrite.

The stubborn trainer didn't calm down after being thrown into the pool; instead, he became even angrier.

Coincidentally, the Gyarados he had just released was also in this pool, so his angry command immediately echoed throughout the hall: "Gyarados, use Hyper Beam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gyarados followed his instructions without hesitation and began to gather energy in its mouth.

The next moment, the Destruction Ray erupted from Gyarados's mouth and shot towards Mewtwo's location.

Mewtwo, standing in the beam of light, simply watched the scene unfold before it with indifference until a split second before the Destruction Ray was about to strike it, at which point it slightly raised its arm.

The instant Mewtwo raised its arm, a barrier made of psychic powers blocked the Hyper Beam. Then, with a gentle wave, the Hyper Beam was deflected back by the psychic power and struck Gyarados.

"This..." Shinji stared at the scene in disbelief. He had never seen a Psychic-type Pokémon with such strong control, able to directly deflect attacks aimed at it.

"Master, can your Metagross do that?" Shinji turned to Carl, who was standing next to him, and asked.

“No, Metagross’s control is quite good, but its greatest strength is its indestructible body. Psychic powers are just an auxiliary means for it.” Karl paused. “It’s a pity that Serperior is not a Psychic-type Pokémon, otherwise, with its control over energy, it should be able to barely do this.”

"Barely?" Shinji noticed the key point in Karl's words.

“That’s right, barely.” Karl comforted Serperior while explaining to Shinji, “While Mewtwo is neither the strongest trainer nor the strongest Pokémon, there is no doubt that it possesses a talent far surpassing that of most Pokémon.”

Hearing his master's assessment, Shinji's eyes gleamed with fervor as he looked at Mewtwo. "If I could capture it..."

Shinji shook his head, suppressing the dangerous thought in his heart. With his current strength, not to mention capturing it, even if he and his partners attacked together, it would only be a matter of a thought for Mewtwo.

Mewtwo glanced coldly at Gyarados and its trainer: "How weak."

Then its gaze fell on Joey in the black robe, and it raised its head and waved lightly: "You're no longer needed."

As Mewtwo withdrew its psychic power from Nurse Joy, Nurse Joy staggered forward, her body swaying precariously.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang rushed to Miss Joey's side with a speed that even Carl couldn't react to, gently supporting her and anxiously asking, "Miss Joey, are you alright?"

"Where...where am I?" Miss Joy's brows twitched a few times as she slowly opened her eyes, looking completely bewildered. "Why am I here?"

"I brought you here from the Pokémon Center so you could take care of me." Mewtwo looked at Nurse Joy, its indifferent voice reaching everyone present: "Your familiarity with Pokémon health has helped me a lot, even though you may not remember anything."

After hearing Mewtwo's words, Brock glared at it with eyes full of anger: "What are you talking about?!"

"Heh, mere humans? With my immense power, I can certainly control them at will," Mewtwo said matter-of-factly.

"This is just too much!" Ash clenched his fist, and Pikachu on his shoulder looked at Mewtwo with the same displeasure.

Feeling the gazes directed at it from all the trainers present, Mewtwo ignored them and continued, "I once wanted to live peacefully with humans, but unfortunately, humans disappointed me..."

As Mewtwo recounted its story, the Pokémon trainers present learned of its plan to rule the world by cloning Pokémon.

Just then, Pikachu on Ash's shoulder jumped to the ground: "Pika Pika!"

"What? You mean you're not with your trainer because you're being controlled, but because you like him?" Mewtwo looked at it coldly. "Being with him was a mistake from the start. Only weak Pokémon rely on humans!"

As Mewtwo spoke, a blue light flashed in its eyes, and Pikachu was instantly struck by a psychic force, flying backward.

"If you want to prove you're right, then come with me." Mewtwo raised his hand, and a large door on the left side of the hall opened, revealing a vast battle arena on the other side.

"I will show you how utterly vulnerable you humans and the Pokémon that rely on you are in the face of absolute power!"

Upon hearing Mewtwo's "chuunibyou" (delusional) remarks, the trainers present exchanged glances before rushing into the battle arena.

As the battle began, one trainer after another was defeated. Carl, watching from the crowd, found the battle on the field like "chickens pecking at each other" completely uninteresting; he even felt a little like laughing.

Mewtwo was able to defeat trainers one after another not because of its superior command skills, but because it secretly used its psychic powers to assist the cloned Pokémon in battle.

While it's perfectly normal for psychics to use their powers to aid in battle, this is Mewtwo, one of the most powerful Psychic-type Pokémon in the world.

Even Sabrina, who is known as a humanoid Pokémon, is no match for Mewtwo.

For example, right now, Shinji is commanding Electivire to deliver the final blow to Blastoise when a blue light flashes in Mewtwo's eyes on the opposite side of the battlefield. The next moment, Electivire is knocked to the ground by a seemingly "soft" punch from Blastoise.

"Master, I lost." After leaving the battlefield, Shinji came to Karl's side and said with a strange expression, "However, I think this battle was meaningless."

Karl reached out and patted Shinji on the shoulder, exchanging a glance with him; everything was understood without a word.

With each trainer present being defeated, only Carl remains who has not yet battled Mewtwo.

Mewtwo clearly knew this too. It turned its head and focused its gaze on Karl. Its indifferent voice reached the ears of all the trainers present: "Don't you want to battle me, the strongest trainer?"

Upon hearing Mewtwo's words, Carl finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The moment Carl burst out laughing, the entire battlefield fell silent. All the Pokémon and trainers present felt the chilling pressure emanating from Mewtwo.

Sensing the anger in Mewtwo's eyes from being looked down upon, Carl sighed and said, "Alright, I'll battle you then. But before we battle, can I ask you a question, Mewtwo?"

“Okay.” Mewtwo suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.

Have you ever tasted the bitterness of failure?

"No, from the moment I was born, I was destined to be the most powerful being on this planet."

Hearing Mewtwo's reply, Carl smiled and nodded: "That's good, you'll soon be able to taste the bitterness of defeat."

"Martial Arts Master Bear, here we come!"

"Hoo-hoo. (Understood.)"

Chapter 92 This punch teaches us to guard against arrogance and impetuosity (3K)

As Carl and Urshifu arrived at the battlefield, Mewtwo snorted and floated to the other end of the battlefield.

Seeing the cloned Charizard standing in front of Mewtwo, Karl raised an eyebrow: "Mewtwo, you might as well just go in. You don't think nobody knows you're secretly using psychic powers to boost your Pokémon, do you?"

Upon hearing Carl's words, Mewtwo's expression froze.

Indeed, as Carl said, Mewtwo believed that none of the trainers present would realize that it was using psychic powers to boost its Pokémon.

"Hmph, I've already checked your human data. Using psychic powers to amplify Pokémon's strength during battles is allowed by the rules." Mewtwo stared intently at Karl. "If you can't even defeat the Pokémon under my command, then you're not qualified to fight me."

Seeing Mewtwo's stubbornness, Carl shrugged and said, "Since you say so, then bring it on."

Just as the Martial Arts Bear Master was about to step forward, the Monarch Serpent suddenly called out to Karl, "Karl. (Karl, let me do it.)"

Karl and Martial Arts Master Xiong exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, "Alright, then you can do it."

As Serperior snaked its long, supple body into the arena, the trainers on the sidelines began to discuss among themselves.

Although most of the trainers present did not recognize Serperior, they could easily tell from its appearance that it was most likely a Grass-type Pokémon.

"What is this person doing? Why is he using a Grass-type Pokémon to battle Charizard?"

"He just revealed that Mewtwo uses psychic powers to boost Pokémon, so I think he must have his own reasons."

On the other side, seeing Karl using Serpent in battle, Xiao Gang's lips twitched. As the first victim of Serpent in the Kanto region, he had looked up information about Serpent after his battle with Karl.

Xiao Gang was certain that Karl's Serpent Lord definitely possessed the hidden trait of contradicting others.

Just thinking about how Serperior defeated "kids" one move at a time made Xiao Gang shudder involuntarily.

After Serperior entered the battlefield, Mewtwo was taken aback at first, then angrily commanded, "Charizard, Flamethrower!"

Mewtwo never expected that Carl would send out a Grass-type Pokémon to humiliate it. Did this human think he was a "trainer" who couldn't even memorize the type matchup chart?

“Monarch Serpent, Leaf Storm,” Karl said calmly.

The Serpent Lord seemed to be used to starting with Karl's Leaf Storm; it had already completed the energy manipulation halfway through Karl's sentence.

The moment Karl finished speaking, countless leaves made of emerald green energy appeared around the Serpent Lord. The next moment, a wave of thousands of green leaves met the flames that were spewing towards the Serpent Lord.

Even though fire-type energy has a clear advantage over grass-type energy, the difference in strength between Serperior and the clone Charizard is more than enough to make up for this minor deficiency.

As the cloned Charizard was engulfed by a storm of leaves, Mewtwo finally realized just how powerful the human who dared to mock it truly was.

As the green wave receded, the cloned Charizard collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

At the same time, a red glow representing an increase in special attack appeared on Serperior's body.

Feeling the surging power within him, Serperior looked at Mewtwo standing behind the clone Charizard from afar.

Mewtwo noticed the gaze that Serperior was casting at it. It sensed intense fighting spirit and a hint of disdain in those rose-red eyes.

Upon realizing this, Mewtwo's anger burned even brighter.

It couldn't understand how a Pokémon that relied on humans could possess such great power.

Next, Mewtwo sent out one clone Pokémon after another, but none of them could last a full round against Serperior.

Compared to Mewtwo's lack of care for its Pokémon, Serperior is much "gentler".

In Serperior's view, these cloned Pokémon are actually quite pitiful, created without any explanation, and then sent out by Mewtwo to fight against their trainers.

Therefore, Serperior's every move is perfectly timed; it only stuns its opponent without causing further damage.

Mewtwo fell silent as the last cloned Pokémon fell.

Although Mewtwo can use psychic powers to boost the battle power of cloned Pokémon, the extent of the boost is not determined by how much psychic power it uses, but by the cloned Pokémon's ability to withstand it.

This shows that Mewtwo is not without feelings for the cloned Pokémon; it's just that its obsession has blinded it.

The trainers watching the battle from the sidelines fell silent. Mewtwo had just defeated them using cloned Pokémon, but now those cloned Pokémon were falling one by one to the green snake-shaped Pokémon.

Does this mean that even if all of them attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for that one person and one Pokémon?

"How about it? My strength isn't bad, is it?" Karl smiled and said to Mewtwo on the other side of the battlefield, "Now, do you think I'm qualified to fight you?"

Mewtwo raised its head, its gaze meeting Karl's chestnut eyes: "I admit, your Pokémon are all quite strong..."

Carl squinted; he knew Mewtwo was in deep trouble.

The instant Mewtwo finished speaking, it suddenly raised its right hand, and countless black Poké Balls appeared behind it.

The Mewtwo Ball is a special Poké Ball created by Mewtwo himself. It can not only capture Pokémon, but also collect Poké Balls that already contain Pokémon.

"Oh? And then?" Karl asked, feigning ignorance.

"Once I clone your Pokémon, I can use them to defeat you."

"Huh? What does Mewtwo mean by that?" Ash turned to Paul and asked with a puzzled look, "And what about those Poké Balls that suddenly appeared?"

"I don't know." Shinji shook his head, then said firmly, "But as long as Master is here, no matter what schemes Mewtwo has, he won't let them succeed."

As the two were talking, Mewtwo raised its hand and waved, and the Mewtwo Ball flew towards the Pokémon scattered all over the ground under its control.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the trainers, the Mewtwo Ball flying at the front collected a Rhyhorn that had a trainer.
