Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Ash panicked for a moment, worried about missing a rare opportunity, and quickly tried to smash it again. His arm was already leaving afterimages as he frantically swung it.

The aura power within his body was rapidly depleted in order to counter Mewtwo's psychic abilities.

Mewtwo was also annoyed by Ash's sudden intervention.

"You damned..." Bang, bang, bang!

"Sit here..." Bang, bang, bang!

"I will definitely kill you..." Bang, bang, bang!

The situation was so urgent that Ash didn't even realize his Aura was running low, and he kept waving his hands as if he was about to give up.

At this point, they were acting purely on instinct; they couldn't even make minor adjustments.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your ability to upgrade Aura Force from lv9 to lv max!]

As the system voice sounded, Mewtwo turned around and opened its mouth, about to hurl insults at Ash.

Ash accidentally stuck his entire hand down Mewtwo's throat.

"Oh, oh..."

The Master Ball button finally made contact with Mewtwo.

It instantly transformed into a beam of red light and was absorbed into the Master Ball.

The Poké Ball wobbled from side to side, and soon a loud thud was heard as Mewtwo was successfully captured.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the "First Time Deep" achievement]

[Achievements: Alliance Coins +800; Attack +1; Title 'Straw Hat Boy': Increases Special Attack against Cat-type Creatures by 5% (including cat-eared costumes)]

"Hey, system, what do you mean?!"

Chapter 85 The Dreamy Classmate Who's a Master of Pranks

After Mewtwo entered the Master Ball, the terrifying pressure that had surrounded him instantly disappeared, and the cloudy sky gradually returned to normal.

Seeing the comical way Mewtwo was captured by Ash in such a "deep" way, Mew laughed so hard he almost fell over.

[Ding! Dream finds you very interesting. Dream: Affection +5]

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the milestone "A Small Step for the Legendary Pokémon": You have obtained your second Legendary Pokémon]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Special Attack +1; Free Attribute Points +4]

"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened!" Kojiro and the others suddenly ran out of the castle.

"This house is going to blow up!"

"what?"

It turns out that Mewtwo and Mew were completely ignoring their surroundings and randomly using their skills during their battle.

Several powerful energy balls crashed directly into the laboratory inside the castle.

Those machines are emitting sparks and are about to explode.

Ash quickly gathered all the unconscious people in the hall, then turned to Mew and said...

"Please, Dream, I'm too weak to move. Please move us to a safe place."

However, Mew seemed not to understand and continued to circle around Ash as if it didn't understand.

Just as the explosion came from the bottom of the castle, a pink light enveloped everyone.

When the loud noise subsided, Ash found that everyone was alright, and Mew had finally come to help.

"What a brat, always playing tricks on people in that situation."

He looked around and found that Mew had disappeared, and now only Ash and his friends and the remaining ruins remained on the new island.

"It's a pity that I originally wanted to build a better relationship with Dream."

Pokémon like Mew have no idea where they'll appear; if they don't show up on their own, you'll basically never find them in your entire life.

Legend has it that only those with a pure heart and a strong desire to meet it can make the dream appear.

However, it doesn't matter. Ash believes that with his 'pure heart' and Mewtwo in his possession, he will definitely meet Mew again in the future.

"How did the mission Kojiro assigned you go?"

They kicked Kojiro and the others, who were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"Hey, we're fine."

"The explosions have stopped long ago, get up now. I'm asking about the progress of your mission."

Upon hearing that everything was safe, the three immediately jumped up from the ground and went to Ash to take credit.

"Of course, boss, we definitely completed the mission perfectly."

Meowth took out a USB drive and a sack of Dark Poké Balls and handed them to Ash.

"The data on the cloned Pokémon and all the black Poké Balls are here!"

"Well done!" I tossed it a Meow Coin as a reward.

Meow's loyalty increases by 1%.

It happily jumped up to receive Ash's coins.

This gold coin, which could be exchanged for a thousand Alliance Coins in the system store, actually made it roll around on the ground with satisfaction.

"Give the cat coins! Give the cat coins!"

Meowth's hobbies are quite peculiar.

Ignoring it, Ash returned the other Pokémon in the sack to their rightful owners, and sent the remaining Dark Poké Balls back to the group for research.

If they can develop a new Poké Ball using this, Ash himself will not only get a Poké Ball with a high capture rate.

This will also give Chihong Group another way to make money.

The company's earning power is getting stronger and stronger, but the expenses are also increasing.

Moreover, Ash's desire to build Squirtle Island further drained his resources.

"We still need to open up more sources!" Ash was already imagining the scene where the company's products would sell like hotcakes after he cracked the Dark Ball, and he would be making so much money that his hands would be sore from collecting it.

"Boss, there's one more thing." Just as Ash was having a good time, Kojiro suddenly spoke up.

Xiao Zhi nodded in confusion, signaling him to continue.

“We’ve seen the Pokémon cloning documents before, and the technology used in the Castle Lab is actually the same technology that Team Rocket has been developing for a long time.”

"None of the Pokémon cloned by Team Rocket survived more than three days until they finally succeeded once after obtaining Mew's fossil."

Kojiro points to the USB drive in Ash's hand.

"If the boss wants to clone Pokémon, the information we have is not enough."

"It also requires that sophisticated laboratory and a mysterious energy source, but what exactly it is is not recorded."

"Understood. You all did a great job this time. You'll all get a bonus when you get back!"

"Long live the boss!"

They were initially worried that Ash would be angry when he heard the news, but the trio immediately cheered when they heard that the prize money would still be paid out.

Ash wasn't really that concerned about cloning, although he had thought about using cloning to increase his strength.

However, establishing that cloning lab would be an enormous expense, and Xiao Zhi currently lacks the resources to do so.

There are too many places to spend money, and I'm short of cash.

Furthermore, Ash remembers that the Pokémon cloned from Mewtwo were all fine, so the missing mysterious ingredient must be the power of Mew or Mewtwo.

"Even if it's a clone, it's still a living, breathing life."

I always feel that if we recklessly play with the laws of life, something bad will happen.

Ash carefully stored the USB drive in his storage space, intending to make further plans after he had truly defeated Mewtwo.

------------

New Island was once Team Rocket's experimental base, but now it has been turned into flat land again, so Ash doesn't want to occupy it and just leaves it there.

After settling everything on the island, Nurse Joy and the other trainers were taken back to port by Ash in a small wooden boat.

This little boat is really sturdy. It went back and forth on the sea twice without any problems. Kojiro and his friends should have become engineers instead of Team Rocket.

When Joey and the others woke up in the waiting hall of the port, they discovered that they had lost all their memories of Mew and Mewtwo.

A group of people looked at each other, wondering how they ended up there.

Ash, who was observing the situation from outside the hall, gave Mew a thumbs up after seeing this.

"The cleanup was pretty thorough, wasn't it? They just erased my memory, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Just as he left the port and embarked on the road back to Pallet Town, he suddenly received a call from Mizchi at the company.

"Chairman Chi Hong, something terrible has happened!"

"Why is it that again?" Little Zhi was really worried. "What happened?"

"This afternoon, we were working on the Squirtle base as usual when suddenly 18 Pokémon appeared in the sky and landed on our construction site."

There's such a thing? But Ash quickly thought of Mew.

"Do all these Pokémon have brown stripes on their bodies?"

"Yes, every single one has one."

"Don't worry, just take good care of these Pokémon. I'll send you their Poké Balls later."

It seems to be those cloned Pokémon that Mewtwo stole back then.

When the castle exploded, Mew teleported all the cloned Pokémon that had been created to Ash's Squirtle Island.

Fortunately, Ash has all of Mewtwo's Dark Balls.

I'll select the Poké Balls from the cloned Pokémon and send them over shortly.

It has to be said that the machines in the Mewtwo Cloning Lab are really efficient. Just send a Pokémon there to collect data and a clone can be created in a few seconds.
