Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 316 Mewtwo's Liberation, The New Island Disaster!

Mewtwo is so powerful, so Team Rocket must have imposed many restrictions on him. Moreover, Ling Feng knows very well that in reality, the restrictions are no less than those shown in the anime.

Furthermore, it's impossible for Team Rocket to create the strongest weapon that even they themselves can't control, and Giovanni isn't stupid.

If Super Dream wants to break free from the Rockets' control on his own, it will probably take a long time to find a suitable opportunity.

But now Ling Feng felt that the time was about right.

He had been watching Mewtwo play the game and observed the changes in his emotions.

He was quite certain that releasing Mewtwo now wouldn't cause a major problem like in the original story.
Ling Feng's gaze quickly scanned his system inventory, and finally, his eyes locked onto a strange device lying quietly in a corner.

I had wanted to save this item before, but I never expected it would actually come in handy now.

With a thought, Ling Feng brought the item to his hand.

It was a very unique sphere, about the size of a tennis ball, with a translucent silvery-white color and patterns on its surface that resembled ripples in water.

【Item Name: Cleaner (Disposable)】

Item Level: S+

[Item Description: This is a strange device imbued with the power of rules. It can remove any additional status effects from any target, whether it be a curse, poison, parasite, a mark left by some divine beast, or even... some kind of coercive technological control method.]

Usage restrictions: None

[Special Note: While this item is powerful, it automatically calculates the required resources based on the target's current status and strength. It cannot be used if insufficient resources are available.]

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the description.

Team Rocket must have done a lot of things to control Mewtwo, from physical armor to mind-control programs and brainwashing. These are all "states" imposed on Mewtwo.

And this "cleaner" seems to have been created specifically for this situation.

Using it will wash away all the impurities from Mewtwo in one go, allowing it to regain its freedom completely.

This is absolutely the gift Mewtwo needs most right now.

none of them.

Ling Feng no longer hesitated and directly selected "Use Reward - Eliminator on target player 'Mewtwo'" on the system interface.

As soon as the command was issued, a red confirmation box popped up on the system interface, listing the resources required for this use.

[WARNING! The target unit is subject to extremely strong mandatory control rules!]

Using the cleaner requires the following resources:

[S+ grade resource with any attribute x2]

[Emotional Points x 5000]

[Confirm payment?]

Looking at the resources being consumed, Ling Feng's lips twitched.

Meat hurts.

It really hurts.

5000 emotion points are not particularly many for him now, but two S-grade attribute resources are really too many.

However, Meng Ge is a promising talent, and a very proud and opinionated one at that.

If you just give it some ordinary rare items, it might not appreciate it at all, and might even feel that it's just being perfunctory.

Only by helping it resolve its greatest suffering and giving it true freedom can we truly achieve a balance between the two levels.

A favor from Mewtwo, especially from a powerful being of Mewtwo's caliber, is far more valuable than these two S-rank resources.

What's this called? This is called investment!

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and clicked the confirm button.

Payment confirmed!

[Resources being deducted...]

[The cleaner and corresponding resources have begun delivery!]

As the system notification faded, Ling Feng's lips curled into a slight smile.

—Brother Meng, it's time to come out and have some fun.

at the same time.

Deep in the new island.

The image that Mewtwo saw finally settled on a line of golden text.

Congratulations on completing the game! Thank you for playing.

Mewtwo's purple eyes reflected the gradually dimming light on the screen.

In this virtual world, it experienced a magnificent adventure from a "human" perspective for the first time.

I've chased the waves on the shores of the Hoenn region and stood atop a volcano to feel the pulse of the earth.

It saw those beings known as "Legendary Pokémon": Groudon spewing lava from the earth, Kyogre unleashing towering waves in the deep sea, and Rayquaza's majestic figure calming the war of the gods.

That power, that power that seemed to be able to control the rules of heaven and earth, caused Mewtwo's restless heart to stir with an unprecedented excitement.

In the game, it is merely an observer, an operator.

But when the game ends, that heavy and real sense of constraint returns.

Consciousness returned to the body, and looking down at the body entangled in various pipes, there was no blue sky, no white clouds, only cold alloy walls and the smell of disinfectant in the air.

Those people told him that it was the most powerful weapon ever created by mankind for war and for power.

But is this really my fate?

During those dozens of hours in the game, it witnessed the bond between humans and Pokémon. Although it didn't fully understand that emotion, and even thought it was somewhat foolish and weak, it had to admit that the power was real.

However, that's not suitable for me.

I don't need any partners.

I am Mewtwo, a unique creation.

Since we are born as Pokémon, there is only one goal worth pursuing.

That is—to become the strongest.

It's not about serving humanity, nor about proving anything; it's simply because only by standing at the highest point can it have a real voice and define its own existence.

But right now, that goal is still too far away.

Mewtwo could clearly feel that the blood flowing through its body seemed to have been subject to many restrictions by those people.

Perhaps due to some genetic constraints, or something else, once it has the thought of resistance, intense pain will instantly destroy its will.

It's not that it hasn't tried before.

Every attempt to break free of these shackles only resulted in even tighter surveillance.

Those humans seemed very wary of themselves.

Am I really going to be trapped in this dark and sunless place for the rest of my life?
After a brief silence, a fierce glint flashed in Mewtwo's eyes, and purple psychic energy began to surge around it. The surrounding instruments, unable to withstand the pressure, emitted piercing alarms.

Just as it was about to forcefully break through the restraints again, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

That wasn't any signal from the Rockets, nor was it any kind of energy they were familiar with.

That was a ray of light.

A gentle yet domineering golden light pierced through the thick petri dish without warning and shone directly on it.

[Level completion reward being distributed...]

[Obtained S+ Rank Item: Cleaner.]

The text that appeared out of nowhere startled Mewtwo for a moment. Then, it felt an indescribable power surge into its body. The power was like a warm torrent, flowing through its veins to its limbs.

It seems something has changed.

The pain disappeared.

Mewtwo seemed to realize something, its eyes widened suddenly, and its purple aura erupted instantly.

This time, his power was unhindered, and his pure spiritual energy swept through the entire laboratory like a tsunami.

Boom!

A massive explosion reverberated throughout the base, the heavy alloy doors were blown off like pieces of paper, and piercing alarms instantly filled every corner.

Mewtwo slowly floated up, looking at its hands and feeling the vast, unrestricted power within its body.

A unique surge of emotion instantly welled up in my heart.

What does it feel like?
Is this what "freedom" is?

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Rockets headquarters in the Kanto region.

Sakaki sat upright behind the large desk, toying with a coin in his hand, his expression gloomy.

In front of him, a researcher in a white lab coat was looking down, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"You mean, Mewtwo's condition has been very unstable lately?" Giovanni's voice was deep and hoarse, revealing no emotion, but the invisible pressure made the air seem to freeze.

“Yes…yes, Chief,” the researcher replied, trembling. “Recently, its mental fluctuations have been extremely large, sometimes even exceeding the range of the monitoring instruments. But don’t worry, we have increased the dosage of the inhibitor, and it is currently under control.”

Sakaki nodded slightly, his fingers stopping the spinning of the coin.

"Continue to monitor it. It is our greatest work, and absolutely no mistakes can be made."

"Yes! I understand!" The researcher felt as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly bowed, and then left the room.

With the door closed, the room returned to a deathly silence.

Sakaki leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

—The screen at the end of the first playthrough of Emerald.

During this time, he played the game extensively.

It's not just about getting to know the Rainbow Rockets team I first encountered, but also about exploring another side of this world through the game.

In the game, he saw the two legendary creatures of the Hoenn region and Rayquaza's majestic presence that transcended everything.

That power deeply shocked even this man who prided himself on being in control of everything.

He originally thought that Mewtwo was the pinnacle of biotechnology and the strongest being in the world.

If Team Rocket could master Mewtwo, they could rule the entire Pokémon world.

But now, he's wavering.

Compared to the legendary Pokémon in the game that can change the world at the drop of a hat, Mewtwo... seems to be missing something.

Also, Team Rainbow Rocket never even appeared in the game; they seem to be relegated to later content.

Just as he was deep in thought, the red emergency phone in the room suddenly started ringing frantically.

Sakaki frowned and answered the phone.

"explain."

The subordinate's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone, with obvious sobs:
"Chief...Chief! Something terrible has happened! Mewtwo...Mewtwo..."

"What's wrong with it?" Sakaki's voice suddenly turned cold.

"It breached containment! And...and it destroyed the underground base in Lavender Town, and now...now it seems to be heading towards New Island!"

"what?!"

Sakaki suddenly stood up, the coin in his hand instantly twisted into a distorted shape.

New Island is where Mewtwo was created!

And there, all the data about the creation of the Mewtwo experiment is also stored!
"Get the car ready, let's head to New Island immediately!"

……

Several hours later.

New Island.

This place was originally a beautiful, wild island, but now it has become a ruin.

A massive storm still swirled above the island, whipping up torrential rain and ravaging the land. Deep, bottomless cracks were visible everywhere on the ground, as if ripped apart by an immense force.

Sakaki stood on a precipice, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were blazing with fury as he looked at the scene of devastation before him.

Behind him, several surviving researchers were kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.

"Is this what you call 'being able to control'?"

Sakaki's voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear in the strong wind.

"What exactly happened? Where are its restraints? Where are those control chips? Why aren't they working?!"

An elderly researcher shakily raised his head, his face as pale as paper:

"No... I don't know, sir! Just now, a strange energy suddenly invaded the system and wiped out all the control programs! That's... that's a technology we've never seen before, and it's impossible to defend against!"

"Undefendable?" Sakaki sneered. "Then what use are you to me?"

At that moment, a red figure emerged from the shadows.

He's an executive of the Rockets, Apollo.

He looked at Sakaki, bowed respectfully, and then said in a low voice:

"Lord Giovanni, according to the tracking system, Mewtwo has left. It's incredibly fast and has deliberately blocked our signal. Should we send out an elite force to capture it?"

Sakaki fell silent.

He looked at the rolling dark clouds in the distance, his expression becoming extremely complicated.

A manhunt?

What can we use to pursue them?

Mewtwo has now broken free from all constraints; it is now a fully awakened beast.

If we force it, we'll only provoke it, which could then deal a devastating blow to the Rockets.

More importantly, the image of the green dragon from the game kept replaying in Giovanni's mind.
Rift Constellation.
I originally thought Mewtwo was the greatest creation, a weapon that could rival legendary Pokémon.

However, it seems that Mewtwo, at least for now, cannot be compared with those true legendary Pokémon.

It is strong, but not strong enough.

It was so powerful that he was willing to risk destroying his entire army in order to retrieve it.

"Do not."

Sakaki slowly uttered a single word, his voice surprisingly calm.

"Not going after them?" Apollo paused, seemingly unable to believe his ears. "But sir, that's Mewtwo..."

"I said I wouldn't pursue it."

Sakaki turned around, his back to the ruins, his gaze deep.

"It is no longer a pawn in our hands. Now it is just a wild horse that has broken free. Since we cannot control it, let's put it aside for now."

“Now, we have more important things to do.”
