~9 min read 1,674 words

【Is that my name?】

The newborn Mewtwo did not have the ability to fully understand human language, but its brain, which had already begun to develop, subconsciously analyzed the content of the conversation between the two people just now.

【If that human just now was naming me...】

【Then, should he be considered my father?】

With Mewtwo's current vocabulary, it could only engage in simple thoughts like this, and the rapid operation of its brain soon made it feel exhausted.

【So tired...】

However, just as Mewtwo subconsciously closed its eyes and its consciousness was about to return to chaos—

"Mew?"

A crisp and unfamiliar cry appeared by its ear, causing Mewtwo to open its eyes again.

What met its eyes was a being much smaller than any other creature it had seen.

But unlike the two humans from before, its body was pink, and its feet did not touch the ground.

Mewtwo did not know how it had suddenly appeared here, but it was clear that this little pink fellow seemed very interested in it.

【Hello...】

Although it could not speak yet, Mewtwo inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to it, so it took the initiative to try to use its weak psychic powers to communicate with it.

"Mew?"

Because Mewtwo's psychic powers were still too weak, humans could not feel them at all.

But Mew was different.

After a brief moment of shock, Mew quickly covered its mouth and laughed.

At the same time, Mewtwo in the culture dish quickly received a strange, slender voice.

【Hello there~】

Watching its mouth, which had not opened or closed, Mewtwo was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted—

It seemed to be the first being to hear its voice, and it would even take the initiative to respond to it.

Furthermore, it actually felt a familiar aura from it...

【Who are you...】

Mewtwo was confused, so it asked proactively.

【Hmm?】

Seeming to be stumped by its question, the little pink fellow in front of it rested its chin on its hands and thought for a long while before smiling and giving a reply.

【I am your friend~】

【Fri, end...?】

Mewtwo could not understand the meaning of this word, but it did not dislike this feeling.

【Hello, friend...】

Mewtwo tried hard to smile, triggering another light laugh from Mew.

Just as it wanted to continue asking about the meaning of this word, a series of footsteps soon arrived.

Upon hearing the sound from outside, Mew's smile vanished instantly, and it could only helplessly reach out to touch the culture dish, as if wanting to touch Mewtwo trapped inside.

【Yep, we are friends~】

【I will come to see you again next time!】

Psychic power carried the message into Mewtwo's ears, and at the same time, Mew's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After understanding Mew's meaning, the corners of Mewtwo's mouth inexplicably lifted slightly.

【Goodbye, friend...】

Back at Sunshine Gym.

Isn't this Mewtwo?!

Watching the brand-new appearance Mew took on after using its transformation ability, Xiang Qingyu quickly reacted.

Mew actually met Mewtwo ahead of schedule?

Mewtwo, the Genetic Pokémon, was also a taboo existence that should not have appeared in this world.

Because no matter which timeline it was on, Mewtwo was a Pokémon artificially created by Team Rocket based on the Mew genes they had obtained, possessing very powerful strength.

It could even be classified as a Legendary Pokémon, and the combat power it displayed in the animation was very strong.

But...

Also because it was born in Team Rocket, Mewtwo was once confused about the meaning of its existence.

It was even influenced by the Team Rocket boss, Sakaki, believing that only by defeating Mew to prove its own strength could it truly possess a self, rather than being a copy of it.

In short, it was a problem child who had been led astray from a young age and had slightly significant psychological issues.

However, judging by the fact that Red and Green had not yet become Trainers, Mewtwo should have only been born for a short time at this point in time, right?

The body shape after the transformation also confirmed this.

So how exactly did Mew discover it? It couldn't have gone to Team Rocket and killed its way back and forth, right?

Although he had countless confusions in his heart, facing Mew, who had transformed into Mewtwo's appearance, Xiang Qingyu only showed a little surprise.

"Mew!"

After a cute sound that completely contradicted its serious expression came from "Mewtwo's" mouth, Xiang Qingyu quickly understood its meaning—

"Are you trying to ask if I know it?"

"Mew!"

"Mewtwo" nodded.

Although it didn't hold much hope, the only human it seemed to know was Xiang Qingyu.

It could only ask him.

"..."

"Can you tell me what you saw?"

Xiang Qingyu thought carefully and decided to first understand what Mew knew.

"Mew!"

Mew was relatively trusting of Xiang Qingyu, so it didn't hide anything and directly reached out to tap his forehead.

Soon, everything Mew had seen and heard after appearing in Viridian Forest a few days ago appeared in Xiang Qingyu's mind.

Sure enough, in the Pokémon world, these special abilities are truly overpowered; they can do anything...

However, this move seemed to be something only Mew could use; at least he had never seen Caitlin use it.

Even Caitlin, that human-shaped Pokémon, couldn't do it, so most other Pokémon shouldn't even think about it.

Feeling the images playing like a movie in his mind, Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

After quickly going through Mew's memories, Xiang Qingyu suddenly realized.

Although he didn't know why it had suddenly run to Viridian City, it seemed the timing was truly perfect!

It happened to be at the time when Mewtwo had just developed self-awareness, allowing it to feel its goodwill.

In this way, the possibility of Mewtwo and Mew fighting each other in the theatrical version was almost zero, right?

Whether for Mewtwo or Mew, this was a good thing.

So after thinking about it, Xiang Qingyu decided to tell Mew a part of what he knew.

"The place you went to before was the Viridian Gym in Viridian City, Kanto."

"Judging from the logos on the researchers, they should be members of the notorious villain organization 'Team Rocket' on the Indigo Plateau."

"As for the relationship between Gym Leader Sakaki and them, I'm afraid it's not simple either..."

As Xiang Qingyu spoke, he lowered his head to ponder for a moment, then quickly spoke again.

"As for this existence they call Mewtwo, it's very likely a Pokémon created by borrowing your genes?"

"In a sense, it might even be considered your child..."

He mainly talked about Mewtwo's origin and its relationship with Team Rocket; as for what happened later, because it hadn't happened yet, he wasn't sure if it would develop that way, so he didn't mention it.

"Mew???"

Shocked speechless by Xiang Qingyu's explosive conjecture, Mew didn't even have the thought of maintaining its transformation and immediately changed back to the appearance Xiang Qingyu was more familiar with.

Although it did have some conjectures in its heart...

But after learning from Xiang Qingyu that Mewtwo was a Pokémon cloned using its own genes, Mew still couldn't help but feel shocked.

What's going on? Did I become a mother?

But why am I the only one who doesn't know about this?

Also, I actually became "friends" with my own child?

The fact that it "accidentally became a mother" did indeed give Mew a great shock, and at the same time, a series of questions quickly caused its brain to crash, and finally, it made a decision—

Don't think about it!

Anyway, things are already like this; the point now is why its genes were utilized by humans...

You humans are too bad! (Except for Xiang Qingyu)

While Mew was pondering in its heart, Xiang Qingyu was also thinking about another question—

If Mew had contact with Mewtwo ahead of schedule, then...

Could Mew be allowed to cultivate the child's values correctly before Mewtwo was led astray by Sakaki's ideology?

Bringing Mewtwo back was still too difficult for Mew for the time being.

Although Mew was indeed very capable of fighting, with Team Rocket's current strength, coupled with various black technologies, even it might not necessarily benefit from a head-on confrontation.

In order to suppress Mewtwo's psychic powers, Team Rocket seemed to have thought of many ways; maybe those things were also useful against Mew?

Moreover, Team Rocket's original intention for being established was to search for the legendary Mew, so wouldn't this be equivalent to throwing itself into the net...

So this matter couldn't be rushed.

Maybe letting Mew go to babysit when it had nothing to do, and after Mewtwo developed to a certain strength, it could rely on itself to escape the Team Rocket base?

Thinking of this, Xiang Qingyu suddenly froze—

Wait?

This sounds a bit familiar!

So the Mewtwo on this timeline isn't the box-office champion from the theatrical version that counterattacked ten times in a year, but rather more like the "Sister Mew" from another timeline who could autonomously evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y?

The main difference between the two Mewtwos is whether they were influenced by Sakaki.

Oh, no, the biggest influence seems to be that the Mega Evolution of the counterattack version of Mewtwo is Mewtwo X.

Although it is the same Pokémon, the two Mega Evolutions clearly have their differences.

Thinking of this, Xiang Qingyu subconsciously looked at Mew.

But if it's a child brought up by this guy, I always feel like it will end up being as mischievous as it is!

"Mrs. Mew, you wouldn't want your child to go astray, would you?"

Xiang Qingyu suddenly showed a wicked smile and said to Mew.

"Mew???"

Mew was stunned and slowly knocked out a series of question marks.

After simply explaining his thoughts to Mew, the human and the Pokémon hit it off immediately. ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
