Chapter 166

【Giovanni thought beautifully, but when it came to actual operation, he found that things weren't that simple. Mewtwo was worthy of being Mewtwo; even facing Team Rocket's cutting-edge technology, it didn't fall behind.】

【If the battle continued, the machine he had carefully prepared would be destroyed by Mewtwo.】

【Seeing that Mewtwo was about to escape from his hands again, Giovanni stopped pretending and completely exposed his true nature.】

【He began to threaten Mewtwo with the lives of the cloned Pokémon at Clear Cliff. Helpless, Mewtwo could only compromise.】

【"This machine isn't just used to defeat you; it can also control your mind and change your heart."】

【Giovanni couldn't wait to become Mewtwo's trainer.】

【By the time Ash and the others arrived, Mewtwo was already on its last breath.】

【Even if it meant paying with its life, Mewtwo didn't want to be controlled by an ambitious person like Giovanni.】

【In order to save Mewtwo, Ash began to madly ram the two-color robot.】

【Under the efforts of Ash, the Pikachu, and Mewtwo, the two-color robot was successfully destroyed, but this wasn't without a price. The price was that Mewtwo had exhausted its last bit of life force; it had reached its limit.】

【On the other side, Giovanni and the Team Rocket members also arrived.】

【Misty and Brock decided to stay behind to stop Team Rocket, while Ash carried Mewtwo to Mirror Lake. The water of Mirror Lake had a miraculous effect; they believed Mewtwo would be reborn in Mirror Lake.】

Cynthia: "Ash is a bit weak; Mewtwo is only about 100 pounds, and Ash is actually struggling a bit carrying it. This isn't the Ash in my mind."】

The Ash in her mind was someone who could walk like flying while carrying a 100-pound Mewtwo.】

Ash has regressed.】

Diantha: "You've been watching too much Dark Ash, right? That's 100 pounds, 100 pounds!!!"】

Ash himself is only 50 or 60 pounds. Being able to walk while carrying a Mewtwo twice his own weight is already very abnormal.】

Not everyone in the world is a monster like Dark Ash.】

Gary: "100 pounds, piece of cake; for us Pallet Towners, it counts for nothing at all."】

Professor Oak: "Is that so? Then why don't you perform it for everyone to see later?"】

Gary: "Er."】

【With Ash's help, Mewtwo successfully recovered its health.】

【In front of a healthy Mewtwo, Team Rocket counted for nothing at all. With a wave of its hand, all Team Rocket members were solved.】

【It was just that Mewtwo cherished old feelings and didn't kill Giovanni; otherwise, the history of Team Rocket would have ended today.】

Chairman Goodshow: "... Pity, it's really a pity; Mewtwo should have made a fierce move against Team Rocket!"】

Letting the other grunts go is one thing, but how could Giovanni, the mastermind behind the scenes, be let go?"】

Even if you don't take his life, you should at least cripple him!"】

Giovanni: "Hmph, you are too vicious!!!"】

Fortunately, Mewtwo isn't as vicious as Goodshow; otherwise, he wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.】

【After this ordeal, Mewtwo also thought clearly. It no longer protected the cloned Pokémon like a parent; it sent all the cloned Pokémon to all parts of the world, letting them find the happiness that belonged to them on their own.】

【The cloned Pokémon all left, and Mewtwo should also leave.】

【This time Mewtwo didn't erase the memories of Ash and the others; it believed that they would meet again in the future.】

【After saying goodbye to Mewtwo, the Ash trio set foot on the road again.】

【At the Zubat Mansion, Brock's Zubat successfully evolved into Golbat.】

【In Blue Point Town, Brock met Molly again. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Brock also knew it was time to part with Vulpix.】

【After successfully winning the championship of the beauty contest, Brock returned Vulpix to Molly.】

【On the following journey, Ash met Gary again. At this time, Gary's Eevee had evolved into Umbreon.】

【Ash requested a battle from Gary, but was ruthlessly rejected by Gary.】

【After successfully defeating Team Rocket and saving the power plant employees, Ash and Pikachu's performance won Gary's recognition.】

【"Ash, I've seen it all; your Pokémon have all been trained very well by you."】

【"Next time we meet, it should be my turn to request a battle from you."】

151: Dark Ash VS "Gold", Pikachu VS Typhlosion!】

Ash: "Gary."】

Ash in front of the screen was already so moved that he couldn't speak; this was the first time Gary had recognized him.】

Thinking that he had been recognized by Gary, Ash's whole body became blood-boiling.】

Diantha: "Incredible, Gary has actually started to speak human language!"】

Cynthia: "It seems the failure at the Indigo Conference was a big blow to Gary."】

Not only did the big sisters who accompanied him disappear, but Gary himself had also become mature.】

Bruno: "Looking at it this way, Ash is really in a bit of trouble facing Gary at the Silver Conference."】

Gary still has some level; Gary, who doesn't get paralyzed and treats every match seriously, Ash really might not be able to deal with him.】

Ash: "Hmph, I won't lose at the Silver Conference."】

Gary: "Heh, it's not even certain if you can meet me."】

Brock: "This sounds familiar; before the Indigo Conference started, didn't Gary say the same thing?"】

Misty: "Bingo, you got it right."】

Gary: "..."】

In the process of the few chatting, the video with the white border slowly dimmed, and the video with the black border was lit up.】

【After separating from Casey and Karen, Ash and his group of four arrived at a Pokémon Center in the wild.】

【At this moment, on the battle stage of the Pokémon Center, two boys were having a Pokémon duel.】

【"Go, Hitmonlee."】

【The boy on the left was using Hitmonlee.】

【The boy seemed to trust his Hitmonlee very much; before the match even started, he had already determined that the winner would be himself.】

【The boy on the right was using Typhlosion.】

【As soon as Typhlosion came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the spectators present. This was the Fire-type starter of the Johto region, which had special significance in the hearts of Johto trainers.】

【Kenta and his Typhlosion didn't let the spectators down either. Facing Hitmonlee's strong attack, it didn't have any intention of dodging, directly grabbing Hitmonlee's left leg with its hand.】

【This scene directly stunned Hitmonlee's trainer.】

【This was Hitmonlee, the Hitmonlee known as the Demon of Kicking; there was actually a Pokémon that could grab Hitmonlee's leg with its hand.】

【"Hitmonlee, use Rolling Kick."】

【The left leg was restricted, but there was still the right leg. Hitmonlee's trainer reacted quite quickly.】

【A solid kick landed on Typhlosion's left face.】

【"Well done."】

【Hitmonlee's trainer waved his fist to celebrate; in his view, this match was already in his grasp.】

【What he never expected happened: Hitmonlee's Rolling Kick not only didn't defeat Typhlosion, it didn't even knock Typhlosion down; Typhlosion just turned its head slightly and recovered instantly.】

【"It was kicked head-on, actually!"】

【Hitmonlee's trainer was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly.】

【"Whether dodging or escaping, it's impossible to defeat the opponent; we are always full of fighting spirit!"】

【Kenta's eyes were starting to spark with fire.】

Lance: "This boy named Kenta is a bit like Ash; both are so reckless."】

Lorelei: "Wrong, Ash isn't as reckless as Kenta; Ash and his Pokémon are best at dodging."】

Diantha: "Agreed, Ash's battles basically have 'Quick, dodge it!' in every match!"】

Flint: "This Typhlosion is cultivated too perfectly; I really want to have a duel with it."】

Leon: "Infernape versus Typhlosion? Sounds very interesting."】

【One-hit kill.】

【Kenta didn't give his opponent any chance; Typhlosion's Flamethrower directly ended the opponent.】

【Kenta and Typhlosion, who successfully won the match, won unanimous praise from the audience.】

【It was the first time they had seen such a powerful combination of trainer and Pokémon.】

【Kenta and Typhlosion's performance also attracted Ash's attention; he couldn't hold back anymore.】

【It just so happened that Kenta was issuing a challenge to nearby trainers.】

【Ash no longer hesitated; he stepped onto the stage.】

【"Pikachu? You're not mistaken, right?"】
