Chapter 69: Classic Scene: Ash's One Punch Shatters Mewtwo's Shield!

Da Wu: Black Satoshi started training with Pikachu very early; presumably he was subtly influenced by Black Satoshi back then. As Black Satoshi's Pokémon, having the same goal of reaching the world's top stage, Pikachu constantly thinks about improving his own strength, hoping to help Black Satoshi.

Not only Pikachu, but basically all the Pokémon that Black Satoshi has caught think this way.

Xiaomao: So, Black Satoshi's Pokémon are constantly engaging in involution, or rather, it's the trainer leading the way!

Bai Shijie—

The first scene is Ash battling a random Trainer.

When Ash and his companions were having lunch, they received an invitation from the courier Dragonite; the envelope was likely an invitation for them to join the party of the strongest Pokémon Trainers. Upon hearing it, Ash became interested, after all he especially enjoys battles between Pokémon, so of course he wanted to go quickly, and thus the three of them immediately headed there.

However, many Trainers had received the invitation, but the originally good weather suddenly turned into a storm; Miss Junsha and a lady tried to stop this group of Trainers from going out to sea, but the obstruction was useless. Trainers who receive such a letter will surely rush there rain or shine, relying on their own Pokémon's power, heading to the agreed location on the envelope.

Ash and his companions also boarded the rundown boat assisted by Team Rocket, heading for New Island.

At the venue's entrance, the missing Miss Joy mentioned by Miss Junsha was waiting to greet them, though her gaze seemed off; there were also three other Trainers present.

After everyone gathered, Mewtwo appeared domineeringly, first giving Ash and his group a show of force, displaying its overwhelming power, and declaring itself the strongest Pokémon and also the strongest Trainer.

As soon as that was said, someone present objected, many people objected to Mewtwo, but Mewtwo proved its strength with power, defeating the Pokémon sent out by each dissenting Trainer.

Xiaomao, watching the White Light Curtain, felt that Mewtwo was very familiar, very much like the mysterious Pokémon that Sakaki had sent out earlier; its posture was indeed similar.

Yulongdu: So it's Mewtwo behind this; what does it want to do?

Xiba: Being a Pokémon and a Trainer, this is my first time encountering such a Pokémon.

Xiaomao: I feel Mewtwo is somewhat familiar! It seems like that mysterious Pokémon I encountered when challenging the Tokiwa Gym!

Mysterious Pokémon?

Sakaki now recalls Xiaomao challenging the Tokiwa Gym, recalls that Xiaomao defeated two of his Pokémon, and even smirked confidently while provoking him, but he can't recall how he himself defeated Xiaomao afterward.

And Xiaomao said Mewtwo looks very much like the mysterious armored Pokémon he sent out to battle him.

Whether there is some connection between the two, and since I don't remember these events, could someone have tampered with me?

Sakaki looked solemnly at the White Light Curtain; perhaps the answer lies within.

Bai Shijie—

Having demonstrated its power to prove it is the strongest Pokémon, Mewtwo then, to prove it is the strongest Trainer, shouted out its cloned Pokémon, namely the final forms of the starter Pokémon: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur; coincidentally, these Trainers each had a corresponding Pokémon of the same kind.

The battle between the original and the clone began.

Unfortunately, the original side's Pokémon were completely defeated, and Mewtwo then released countless Poké Balls, intending to capture all the Pokémon present and take them for cloning.

Ash rushed into the cloning machine without regard for his own safety to save Pikachu; he did rescue Pikachu, but Pikachu was still cloned.

Inside, he also encountered Team Rocket; soon, the cloned Pokémon swarmed out.

Ash came out with a group of original Pokémon.

Xiaoxia and Brock saw Ash rescuing their Pokémon and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Glaring at Mewtwo, Ash led a large group of Pokémon to confront Mewtwo.

"Unforgivable, I cannot forgive you!"

"I... I and my Pokémon, my good friends... I will protect them!"

After saying that, Ash adjusted the brim of his hat and threw a powerful punch at Mewtwo, but Mewtwo immediately deployed a shield; then Ash actually shattered the shield in front of Mewtwo with one punch, creating many cracks, but due to the recoil, he fell straight to the ground. (This is how it is in the remastered 3D version, after all Ash is a super genuine newcomer; it's reasonable for a punch to crack Mewtwo's barrier, right!)

After being repelled, Ash immediately did a carp flip, continuing to swing his fists at Mewtwo, but Mewtwo used telekinesis to control Ash and threw him away.

This time Mewtwo showed no mercy, hurling Ash toward a distant building; fortunately, Mew also came to the rescue, creating a pink bubble that caught Ash.

Seeing this, everyone's anxious hearts finally settled.

This Ash is really too reckless!

But the excited heart could never calm down.

Because Ash's performance just now amazed them greatly; they had never seen such a formidable Trainer.

Yet Ash's strength shocked the audience, refreshing their perspective; a tiny Trainer actually shattered Mewtwo's protective barrier with a single punch.

You know, the shield deployed by an ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon is hard to break, let alone a human using physical strength; but now the White Light Curtain broadcast shows that Ash's punch indeed cracked Mewtwo's protective barrier—such a formidable Trainer could probably match a Pokémon.

If Trainers could enter the battle, I estimate Ash himself could win the championship!

Xiba: Ash, you're too brave, just going up like that!!!

Nazi: One punch shatters Mewtwo's shield!!!

Cynthia: Hero of the Rainbow, Hero of the Aura.... Looking at it this way, it seems somewhat reasonable!

Jiadelia: If that's the case, Black Satoshi has awakened the Aura Power through training, and since he trains like that every day, wouldn't he be even stronger, possibly able to shatter Mewtwo's protective shield?!

Kenan: Possibly Ash's emotions erupted, releasing all his latent potential, so his strength became this great.

"Ash, this is too dangerous!"

Serena felt a sudden pang of fear in her heart; fortunately, Mew appeared, otherwise Ash would have gotten hurt again.

"It's fine, aren't we doing well now?"

Ash smiled, comforted Serena, he looked at the White Light Curtain, he doesn't remember ever having come here with Xiaoxia, Brock, and the others!
