Chapter 362 Mewtwo Awakens and Lucario with Ultimate Speed ​​(Part 2) (334 chapters owed for monthly votes)

Mewtwo's attack speed is extremely fast, but Mega Metagross's reaction is equally swift.

Almost at the same time that Mewtwo conjured up the blue Will-O-Wisp, a transparent barrier was already in front of Metagross, firmly blocking the opponent's interference.

Seeing this, Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I didn't expect Mewtwo to have this trick up its sleeve, considering it's Yu-sensei's Pokémon, it somehow makes perfect sense...

Fortunately, he has gradually gotten used to it, so he can keep up with Qingyu's reactions.

"Metamorphoses, create some distance!"

With the crisis temporarily averted, instead of continuing to suppress Mewtwo, he immediately made a safer command, ordering Metagross to retreat to a safe distance.

After Mewtwo used Phosphorus Flare, Wusong quickly realized that it might have other Fire-type moves. If Yu-sensei were to suddenly pull a fast one, Metagross would definitely be in a disadvantageous situation.

Moreover, phosphorescent fire can be used continuously, but it cannot be kept under control.

Whether Metagross can dodge Mewtwo's sudden attacks in close combat is entirely up to fate.

In the fast-paced 3v3 singles mode, Metagross being burned is more painful for him than being knocked down...

Therefore, our side needs to be more conservative in our attack.

"Metamorphoses, use Stand to disrupt your opponent's judgment."

Once Metagross retreated to its own half of the field, Gossong's rapidly working brain quickly devised a solution.

The Substitute move is actually more valuable than Protect in actual battles, but it requires trainers to develop its potential.

If used properly, a Stand formed from pure energy can not only prevent the opponent from seeing through the real body, but can also help Metagross block some troublesome moves when needed.

Because it is an aggregate of energy, it can easily block various status conditions that affect Pokémon without any negative effects. At the very least, it can forcefully hinder an opponent's attack once.

The only side effect is that it requires a portion of life energy, resulting in a slight loss of physical strength, but overall it is definitely a win-win situation.

"Kang Jin!"

Metagross stopped what it was doing and closed its eyes.

Soon, its body split in two under the watchful eyes of the audience, the flawless clone and the original body indistinguishable.

"Mewtwo..."

Qingyu instinctively spoke, wanting to give instructions to break through the clone as soon as possible and restore the situation to the point where Mewtwo could easily stall for time.

However, at that moment, Mewtwo, whose eyes had been fixed on Mega Metagross, suddenly spoke up.

"Qingyu, it's time to go."

Mewtwo found Metagross's evolution mechanism easy to understand, even simpler than it had imagined.

The most fundamental obsession of every Pokémon is to bring victory to its trainer and to earn their praise.

However, it is precisely this simple and unpretentious wish that has become the right code to guide the bond and build a bridge of hearts between trainers and Pokémon.

That is to say...

Keystones and evolution stones are merely the means to connect with each other; if they can achieve perfect harmony, they can resonate even without external objects.

As long as the trainer's ideas align with the trainer's, Mega Evolution will be a natural outcome.

Thinking of this, Mewtwo subconsciously glanced at Qingyu behind him.

"I've pretty much figured out how Metagross achieved its Mega Evolution."

"If it were me now, I should be able to do it."

It's still unclear whether he actually sees himself as a Pokémon...

But if it's just about carrying out Qingyu's will and achieving victory for him, even I could do it easily!

To gain Qingyu's approval, his fighting spirit is absolutely no less than that of any other Pokémon!
Upon suddenly hearing Mewtwo's voice, Qingyu's face instantly lit up with surprise and delight.

Its meaning is already very clear, so there's no need to continue playing the cat-and-mouse game.

"Wusong, I admit that your Mega Metagross as a trump card is indeed very strong, but..."

Under the wary gazes of Wusong and Metagross, Qingyu spoke slowly but forcefully, his expression becoming playful.

"You're not the only one who can use Mega Evolution~"

"Next, let me and Mewtwo show you what the pinnacle of psychic power truly is!"

Upon hearing this, Wusong felt a surge of emotion.

Judging from what Teacher Yu said... could it be...?
No, no, no, that's impossible. Mewtwo is already so powerful; even without Mega Evolution, it can fight its Mega Metagross to a standstill.

If it can break through its limits again and acquire an even more powerful new form...

Just how terrifying is their strength?
Wusong subconsciously swallowed and sincerely prayed that what had just happened was just Teacher Yu's psychological warfare, and that he had actually revealed all his trump cards.

But reality was the complete opposite of what he expected.

As everyone knows, Qingyu may like to play tricks, but he never lies.

"What exactly happened off the field? Why did Wusong, Qingyu's opponent, suddenly freeze in place after Qingyu spoke, and even his Metagross looked like it was facing a formidable enemy?"

In the commentary booth, Hu Tao voiced a question that resonated strongly with the audience.

"Exactly! What did Teacher Yu say? Why are you even here battling Pokémon in such a low voice?!"

"Could it really be some kind of shady deal between Teacher Yu and her fans? Are there some untold stories between them?"

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! If Teacher Yu doesn't act soon, I'm going to turn into a frantic madman!"

Only Adu, sitting next to Hu Tao, still looked worried, even with his brows furrowed and his gaze shifting back and forth between Qingyu and Wusong.

If Wusong was playing a defensive counter-attacking style, afraid of giving Mewtwo an opportunity, then why did Qingyu stop attacking?
Having finally found an opportunity to attack and defend, shouldn't he seize it immediately, given his keen sense of combat?
Just as Adu was wondering, Qingyu suddenly made his move.

"Mew-two."

"I'm here."

Qingyu called out softly to her companion in front of her and received an immediate response, so she immediately took a step forward.

Along with his footwork, he also made a matching movement: clenching his left hand into a fist and pointing his right hand with two fingers together sharply towards the sky.

Upon seeing this, A-Du in the commentary booth was instantly dumbfounded.

If I remember correctly, this gesture was meant to reveal the Evolution Key Stone and show the audience the entire process of Mega Evolution, right?

Wait, could it be that...

Mewtwo actually has a Mega Evolution form that even Team Rocket hasn't discovered?
As someone who, besides Team Rocket and Aoba, probably knows the most about Mewtwo's origins, Lance finds this hard to believe.

After all, the prevailing view is that Mega Evolution activates the dormant primal instincts within some Pokémon, which is, in a sense, a temporary atavism.

However, Mewtwo is a man-made Pokémon, so how could it possibly have an ancestor?
unless……

It's a dream!
A-Du suddenly realized what was happening, and at the same time, Qing-Yu began his performance.

"Show your even stronger side, Mewtwo!"

After taking a deep breath, Qingyu snapped his fingers and let out a roar.

"Mega Evolution!!!"

A dazzling pure white light instantly appeared on Mewtwo's body. The blinding light, as bright as day, instantly transformed into countless lines, wrapping around Mewtwo's body like silk threads, and gradually enveloping and devouring it.

Ruined!
Wu Song, as his opponent, was immediately filled with despair.

Teacher Yu...you're really good at hiding things!
I originally thought Lucario would Mega Evolve, but who would have thought it would be this Mewtwo?

Mewtwo was already widely recognized as a monster with impressive stats, and I can't even imagine it evolving further!

But now that things have come to this, Wusong, no matter how unwilling he is to accept it, must face this cruel reality.

I did manage to force Teacher Yu to use her full strength, but it seems to be slightly different from what I initially expected...

"Metamorphose, charge forward without hesitation and use Knock Down to deplete its stamina as much as possible!"

Taking advantage of the brief opportunity when Mewtwo undergoes Mega Evolution and is unable to move freely, Gosho naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Although it's a bit underhanded, this might be my last chance to win!
"Kang Jin!"

Metagross understood the same principle, so the two Metagross on the field, one real and one fake, acted at the same time, rushing towards Mewtwo, which was enveloped in layers of evolutionary glow, in an attempt to severely injure its opponent before it could complete its evolution.

The idea is good, however...

As Metagross's iron fist drew closer, almost touching Mewtwo, the evolutionary glow shining before Qingyu suddenly dissipated, revealing a Pokémon whose skin was clearly divided into two distinct color zones: white and purple.

Compared to before, Mega Mewtwo's size has shrunk considerably after Mega Evolution. Its originally robust body has become more slender, and a flexible, tail-like, curved tentacle extends from the back of its head.

It actually seems to have lost all its oppressive feeling.

(Mega Dream Y, also known as Dream Sister)
However, despite being a Pokémon that could even be described as adorable, no one present dared to underestimate it.

The reason is also very simple.

At this moment, Mewtwo's bright red eyes shone with a distinct blue light. With just a glance, a terrifyingly powerful psychic force enveloped Metagross's entire fist, effectively stopping its attack from a distance.

Even though the opponent's body was already within arm's reach, the punch still couldn't penetrate an inch, instead freezing both the real and fake Metagross monsters in place, unable to move.

"Metamorphoses, you're almost there! Use all your strength to get through!"

Behind him came Wusong's all-out shout, and this belief seemed to be transmitted to Mega Metagross through the Evolution Key Stone, causing it to unleash its full power once again.

In an instant, the eight steel arms that had been bound by telekinesis suddenly loosened and began to move forward with difficulty.

Unfortunately, this power seemed insufficient against Mewtwo after its transformation.

With just a glance, Mewtwo, glaring angrily at Metagross, instantly unleashed an even more terrifying psychic force, violently flipping Metagross and its Stand over and sending them flying backward.

At the same time, Qingyu decisively issued an order:

"Mewtwo, use Flame Burst to press your advantage!"

As the inheritor of Mew's genes, Mewtwo may not be as outrageous as Mew, but it can easily learn almost all moves, including those of other types.

Therefore, when Wusong noticed that Mewtwo had already gathered a raging fire-type energy in its hand and was unleashing it with all its might towards Metagross, he clearly panicked.

As a behemoth covered in steel with incredible defense, Metagross is clearly less resistant to fire.

His opponent was Mewtwo, whose power level was currently unknown after Mega Evolution, and he dared not gamble on whether his Flame Burst would be fatal.

"Metamorphoses, use Stand to block this attack!"

“Kang Jin…”

The Megalodon, barely managing to steady itself in mid-air, turned its head and was immediately met with a massive burst of flames.

In a split second, its survival instinct kicked in, leaving it no time to think. It instinctively switched positions with its Stand, using the Stand in front of it as a buffer in hopes of stopping the potentially fatal attack.

"Innocent."

Mewtwo responded with a cold smile, then stretched out its right hand and swung it downwards sharply before easily lifting it upwards.

As it moved, the Flame Burst that was originally heading straight for Metagross suddenly plummeted downwards, narrowly avoiding Metagross and its Stand, before abruptly turning 180 degrees and striking Metagross's unsuspecting back precisely.

"boom--!"

In an instant, the blazing flames rapidly rose and deformed, finally exploding in a "T" shape, spreading the impact and burning pain throughout Metagross's entire body.

Under the terrifying barrage of fire, Metagross's Stand instantly swelled and deformed, eventually dissipating into thin air.

And this also foreshadows...

"Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, Qingyu suddenly unleashed his long-hidden ultimate move!!!"

"After completing its Mega Evolution, Mewtwo, with its terrifying combat power, instantly rendered its equally powerful Mega Metagross unconscious with a single move!"

As Metagross crashed to the ground, leaving a noticeable dent, Kurumi made her decision decisively.

At the same time, Wusong's first Poké Ball on the big screen dimmed, symbolizing the complete imbalance of the situation.

"Mewtwo's Mega Evolution..."

In the stands, after watching the entire battle, Zhulan subconsciously murmured something, then suddenly looked down and turned to look at "Sylveon" in her arms.

"You didn't teach me this, did you?"

Anyone who watched Qingyu's "Talking Myths" video about Mewtwo would have gasped in surprise upon seeing its Mega Evolution form.

This is like a dream!

If you replace the tentacles at the back of its head with a tail, it could easily be seen as a "Dream Promax" several times larger.

Therefore, Cynthia immediately associated the appearance of Mega Mewtwo with Mew.

"Miao?"

Sylveon immediately shook its head; in fact, it was just as confused as anyone else.

When exactly was it?!

Without his knowledge, Qingyu and Mewtwo secretly learned such a fun and powerful move!
Moreover, they actually deliberately kept it from me, how wicked!

"Qingyu... how come he seems to get stronger with every match???"

This rate of progress is terrifying!
Even Jia Deliya, who was standing next to Zhu Lan, couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, she was glad that she had adjusted her mindset in time and accepted the difference in talent between herself and Qing Yu.

Otherwise, seeing Qingyu pull out an even more terrifying Mega Mewtwo now, I should have broken down my defenses...

Hmph, what a pity!

I no longer compare myself to Qingyu; it would be pointless!

Gadria felt a moment of smug satisfaction, then became confused, her gaze shifting to Aoba behind Mewtwo, who was sporting a "sunny" smile.

"Speaking of which, there's something that's been bothering me..."

After thinking for a moment, Cattleya suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"During the entire process of Mewtwo's Mega Evolution, the Key Stone on Qingyu's wrist didn't emit any light, right?"

"Generally speaking, shouldn't Mega Evolution start with the Trainer transferring their power to the Pokémon through the Key Stone, thereby unleashing their potential?"

While muttering to herself, Gadria revealed the Evolution Key Stone in her hand.

"That's absolutely right."

Zhu Lan nodded.

As a fellow "test server" trainer who had also experienced the phenomenon of Mega Evolution, Gadalia's confusion was naturally understandable.

In fact, due to the unique principle of Mega Evolution, when a Pokémon maintains Mega Evolution for a long time in actual battle, the trainer will clearly feel a depletion of power and even the energy will be consumed at an alarming rate.

Even Cynthia could clearly sense this when she and Garchomp tried to master Mega Evolution.

"But judging from Qingyu's appearance, it doesn't seem like he put in any effort at all..."

"Could it be... that Qingyu has mastered some more advanced techniques that can reduce the strain on the trainer's stamina?"

"No, I'm going to have to ask him a lot of questions after he finishes this match!"

After finishing her rambling, Gadriya quickly made a decision, while muttering a complaint under her breath.

"I really don't know how this guy's brain works. Is this the legendary 'Innate Trainer's Holy Body'?"

"Being in the same era as someone like that feels a bit cruel to other trainers..."

Zhu Lan simply chuckled and then shared her opinion.

"But I think having such an opponent might make the future quite interesting, right?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Cattleya sighed softly.

"Okay, Zhulan, you're right!"

"As a trainer, you'd feel lonely if you couldn't see anyone stronger than yourself. It would be terrifying to have absolutely no rivals!"

"Especially for champions like you, Qingyu should be the most ideal opponent..."

After Gadria finished speaking, the two best friends tacitly stopped talking, bringing the conversation to a close.

After glancing once more at the spirited figures below, Gadriya couldn't help but sigh.

"Although it's hard to admit, it seems that Qingyu's speed in growing into a champion, or even surpassing a champion to reach the legendary level, will far exceed our imagination..."

With this thought in mind, Cattleya's gaze toward him grew even more resolute.

Even so, I must not let Zhu Lan and him leave me far behind; I must try my best to catch up with them!
