Giovanni nodded slightly and spoke again.

"As a Pokémon I cultivated myself, I think theoretically no one should know Mewtwo better than me."

"But it seems that my vision is a bit too narrow; I didn't know that a man-made Pokémon like Mewtwo, which was created by fusing Mew's and human genes, actually appeared with a second Mega Evolved form that exceeded my imagination."

"So I am very curious, how on earth did you do it, Qingyu-kun."

After finishing, Giovanni added with a smile.

"Of course, I'm actually just having a curiosity attack; if Qingyu-kun doesn't want to say it, I won't continue to ask without knowing the interest."

"..."

Qingyu didn't rush to speak, and subconsciously began to think about the deep meaning in Giovanni's words.

It seems that Giovanni is just lowering his posture to ask him for advice, but in fact, he has intentionally exposed another fact—

Giovanni actually knows that Mewtwo can Mega Evolve!

This point completely exceeded Qingyu's expectations, because due to the era, Giovanni couldn't possibly know it.

After all, Mega Evolution is a thing of the XY generation; unless it is the "Super Giovanni" who aims to conquer all planes in Team Rainbow Rocket, he shouldn't even know about Mega Evolution at this time, right?

But thinking carefully, all regions are developing synchronously in reality, and information about Mega Evolution has always been semi-public; as long as you have the heart, you can easily obtain most of it, so it's not strange that Giovanni would know.

"You knew from the beginning that Mewtwo has the potential for Mega Evolution?"

Qingyu asked actively soon, and the expression when looking at Giovanni also had a bit more scrutiny.

Regarding this, Giovanni didn't care, just shrugged, and then looked at Qingyu and told him slowly.

"Qingyu-kun, I know you haven't seen Team Rocket in its heyday, so you might not understand the concept of this name..."

"From the beginning, Team Rocket was a scientific research team dedicated to studying Mew, and the technological power accumulated over the years can be said to be above the entire world."

"By the time I took over, many families were already secretly seeking cooperation with Team Rocket, so there were no obstacles at all to what I wanted to do."

"It was also under such a premise that our team still studied for nearly ten years before finally creating Mewtwo, a near-perfect existence, and completing a feat comparable to the Creator God."

"And even the existence of Mewtwo itself was born from fusing Mew's genes with my human genes, plus countless simulation optimizations by the top scientists."

"So, do you think I wouldn't understand Mewtwo?"

Giovanni left a rhetorical question at the end, making Qingyu click his tongue secretly.

Sure enough, Giovanni knows everything...

"Then, since Mr. Giovanni knows Mewtwo so well, why did he fall into the predicament of having to use special means to forcibly use its power?"

Qingyu did not hide the sarcasm in his words, or rather, he was actually helping Mewtwo vent his anger.

Because he couldn't figure out at all, since he knew it so well, why did he use that kind of means to control it?

Just thinking about it, it would only be counterproductive, right?

"Very interesting question."

"I have to admit, this is indeed my miscalculation."

"So, to show my sincerity, I will take out the part of the information I know first."

Giovanni spoke with a smile, seemingly unaffected by Qingyu's tone.

"According to the repeated research of Team Rocket's top scientists, when Mewtwo was still in the embryo, the one that occupied the dominant position in the genes was actually my 'Giovanni gene'."

"In other words, the conclusion we reached at that time was that the child would be more like me than Mew."

"Therefore, theoretically, Mewtwo should be more adapted to the fighting style belonging to humans, rather than the psychic power derived from Mew."

"I think if we continue with my cultivation method, sooner or later Mewtwo will discover its true potential and embrace this power that surpasses any human and Pokémon."

"It's just that... I guess no one would have thought that Mew, as the ancestor of Pokémon, actually contains power that goes further in its genes."

While listening to Giovanni's words, Qingyu nodded repeatedly.

The Mega Mewtwo Y that Giovanni mentioned is naturally the one that has already appeared on the Psychic Master Tournament.

As for the other evolution potential he mentioned, Qingyu naturally knows it very well.

Isn't it just Mewtwo X, the shame of the Mythical battle, and the last place in the Mega Pokémon ranking!

Being told this by Giovanni, Qingyu suddenly understood a little why Mewtwo would have two evolution directions with completely different performances.

According to the normal world line, Mewtwo, which had been suppressed by Giovanni with inhibitory armor to suppress the psychic power in its body and had to turn to improve physical strength, would indeed become more inclined to use violent means.

And the Mewtwo he picked up, which grew and developed freely in a free-range state, would become more like Mew without Giovanni's interference, which is also a matter of course.

In other words, if Mewtwo were to choose by itself, it is absolutely impossible for it to evolve into Mewtwo X even once in 100 times...

Thinking of this, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.

"I say Boss Giovanni..."

"Perhaps as a leader of a villain organization, you are a boss with personality and cohesion, but as a parent..."

"You are really not a good father!"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Giovanni's face, who was still waiting for Qingyu's reply, suddenly froze for a moment.

Subsequently, when he spoke again, his expression had become incomparably serious, and even faintly carried a bit of obvious oppression.

"Qingyu-kun, do you know something?"

As a villain leader who acts decisively and does not use any means in his life, Giovanni is undoubtedly a ruthless person.

But even if it is a ruthless wolf, there must be a soft rib in his heart.

And Giovanni's weakness...

Obviously, it is family.

Or rather, it is his son Silver.

Regarding Giovanni's words that clearly carried a warning, Qingyu did not pay attention at all, and did not answer his question directly.

"Do you know, Mr. Giovanni."

"During my participation in the Psychic Master Tournament, there was actually a small episode."

Learning from Giovanni's tone just now, Qingyu spoke slowly and unhurriedly.

"Outside the arena, I met a teenager who looked a bit paranoid, and he asked me some very philosophical questions."

"Oh, by the way, his name is Silver."

Before the words fell, Qingyu immediately noticed the change in Giovanni's expression.

Perhaps because Qingyu mentioned the name Silver, it made Giovanni, who was always resourceful, briefly lose his expression management ability.

And on his face, which was originally not angry and prestigious, a lot of complex emotions suddenly appeared.

Qingyu could only see a part of it.

Guilt, relief, luck, entanglement...

It feels like just taking it out for facial analysis is enough for a class.

However, Giovanni soon returned to his previous calm appearance, but the smile on his face had already disappeared.

"Qingyu-kun, we are both smart people, so why don't we get straight to the point."

"What kind of price do I need to pay to get all the information about Silver from you?"

Giovanni's reaction clearly exceeded Qingyu's prediction.

However, he soon analyzed useful information from Giovanni's attitude.

First, Giovanni seems to have lost contact with Silver for a long time? That's why he is so eager to get news about him.

Secondly... at least Qingyu can be sure that this world does not have a villain character like the "Masked Man" who can dominate Ho-Oh and Lugia.

So the special manga plot of Silver being kidnapped is impossible to happen at all.

Then, what happened to Silver?

After deep thought, Qingyu still decided to tell the truth.

After all, he came to see Giovanni, besides confirming information about Mewtwo from him, there was another equally important thing.

"To be honest, I don't know much about Silver either; I just had a vague premonition after seeing him."

"However, judging from your reaction, Mr. Giovanni... sure enough, my guess was right."

"Silver... he should have a deep relationship with you, right?"

It was not a guess, but if Qingyu said directly that Silver looked like Giovanni, he always felt that it was a bit unscientific.

After all, Silver's red hair and unruly eyes...

Always feel like he looks more like Lance?

This can't be said randomly! If I'm not careful, I'll offend both of them at the same time!

But Qingyu couldn't say directly "I'm actually a time traveler" such outrageous words, so he could only draw conclusions through side-knocking.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Giovanni nodded slowly.

"It is indeed Teacher Yu; even Silver couldn't hide it from you."

"If there are no other trainers with the same name, that's right, Silver is indeed my son."

"However... because something happened back then, Silver he..."

Perhaps because he talked about his own flesh and blood that he hadn't seen for many years, a look of melancholy suddenly appeared on Giovanni's face, and even the topic was involuntarily talked about "back then".

But Qingyu was not interested in this.

"Stop, stop, stop! It's not too late to talk about such unimportant things later."

Qingyu crossed his hands and made an X in front of his chest, then looked at Giovanni and asked again.

"For this trip, I only have one question I want to ask."

"Boss Giovanni, you don't want Silver to go astray because of the pursuit of power, and finally go down the same path as you and become an irredeemable villain, right?"
