Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

So it's true that Team Rocket killed too many Pokémon, which is why the top of the tower is filled with resentment... Team Rocket got what they deserved!

"Let's leave first, and then ask Officer Jenny to handle things here." After confirming that the Spirit Gate would not reopen, Ash and Gary planned to leave with the rescued old man.

"Um...should we call Officer Jenny over?" Hearing that the local police were also going to get involved, the old man was a little conflicted...

Unlike Xiao Mao, who is still trembling, he seems to have recovered from the shock of the 'evil spirit eating people' and looks like he has seen a lot of things.

"There are a lot of Pokémon left in the tower, so we need someone to handle it," Ash explained as he dialed the police station.

He not only notified Officer Jenny, but also asked her to bring Joey along, and contacted nearby rangers and patrolmen who could come to the scene to assist!

After the Team Rocket minions were swallowed by the Spirit World, the Pokémon they left behind were essentially forcibly released and must be properly disposed of.

"Well... anyway, thank you for saving me..." the old man said, both helpless and grateful.

From him, Zhi Mao and the other man learned the whole story.

The old man's name is Fuji. He runs a Pokémon orphanage in town. Gary's Cubone was originally found and adopted by him.

But Cubone is always crying and often runs away from the orphanage, wandering around the Pokémon Tower.

Old Man Fuji wanted to figure out what was wrong, so he went inside the tower to investigate... and then he got caught by Team Rocket!

"I found Crawling's remains on the sixth floor. After collecting them, I wanted to pray for it, but I neglected to watch Team Rocket approach... I called for help many times, but unfortunately no one heard me~"

"Uh..." Xiao Mao's expression was a little embarrassed.

Clearly, he already knows the truth about the Pokémon Tower's "Ghost Howl".

Xiao Zhi didn't intend to point it out; he was quite interested in the old man in front of him.

This should be the old man Fuji from the Origins storyline. After helping him, you can get an Evolution Key Stone and a Mega Evolution Stone X... but something's not right!

Ash carefully observed the old man Fuji in front of him, and his brows furrowed.

This old man doesn't look like the one in the anime, and it's not just a difference in details, the whole art style is wrong!

Compared to the kind-faced old man Fuji in "Origins", the man in front of us wears glasses and has a strangely styled goatee on his chin.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one will notice that although he is bald, it is obvious that he just shaved his head!

Some stray hairs weren't shaved off completely, and because the technique wasn't very skillful, several cuts were even made!

Fuji... just what is his background?

...

"Officer Ash, Officer Jenny from Lavender Town reporting for duty." Outside the Pokémon Tower, a smart and capable policewoman stepped forward and saluted Ash.

"We have conducted a thorough search of the tower, and the Pokémon on the top floor have been removed... But what exactly happened here?"

"Team Rocket used this place as a base to hide poached Pokémon, but they have been driven out. You just need to deal with those Pokémon properly."

Ash casually categorized all the Pokémon left behind by Team Rocket as 'victims'.

The elderly Fuji, who had witnessed the entire scene, then realized that Ash's identity was not simple...

"Then may I ask this... uh, this old gentleman, to go back to the police station to make a statement?" Officer Jenny continued to ask Ash for his opinion, but when she turned to the old man Fuji, she suddenly hesitated.

Shion Town is a sparsely populated town, and Officer Jenny shouldn't be unfamiliar with the elderly Fuji...

Unless, he just moved here recently.

"No need. I will submit the report on this incident directly to Ms. Rika." Ash waved his hand to refuse. "The old folks were quite frightened. Gary and I will take them back."

Old Man Fuji is very afraid of contact with the police, and Satoshi just noticed that.

Sure enough, when Xiaozhi told him that he didn't need to give a statement, the old man Fuji visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Ash offered to personally take him back, his expression became conflicted again…

"Heh, I didn't expect you to have such an air of authority." After Officer Jenny left, Xiao Mao came up to her and teased her.

"It's all from trading Team Rocket~" Ash replied casually, but his eyes kept glancing at the old man Fuji out of the corner of his eye.

There's definitely something wrong with this old man...

After the matter was over, Tomohiro and his companion escorted the old man Fuji to the Pokémon orphanage he had mentioned.

That was actually the old man Fuji's private house, but it had been converted into a shelter, with many areas specially decorated to suit the characteristics of Pokémon.

Cara Cara also has a cozy little nest here. As soon as Xiao Mao let it out, it happily jumped into it.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Shigeru nudged Ash, who had been standing at the door in a daze since the beginning.

"It's nothing..." Xiao Zhi came back to his senses and began to carefully examine the room in front of him.

Although the furniture looked old-fashioned, much of the decor was new... This confirmed Xiaozhi's guess that the old man Fuji had probably just moved in.

The reason why Ash was distracted just now was because he heard a special call from inside the house!

It's similar to the feeling of Riolu's egg calling out to him before, but it's also different.

This time it felt more like a feeling, as if a familiar force was trying to remind me to get closer…

Bang!

Just as Ash reached the center of the room, a muffled thud suddenly came from the corner!

In a corner of the house, which was filled with clutter and books, something seemed to be trembling incessantly. It quickly pushed aside the surrounding obstructions and flew straight toward Ash.

It was a safe, eerily suspended in front of Ash, constantly shaking.

"Why...why?!" The old man, Fuji, stared at the scene in disbelief.

He couldn't understand why this boy would be connected to the things left behind by that monster!

Could it be... that he is?

"Open." At this moment, Ash had already easily opened the safe using his psychic powers.

A fist-sized, transparent marble flew out eagerly, and as it approached Ash, it began to emit a soft glow…

"Mr. Fuji...why do you have a Mega Stone?"

Chapter 105 Shocking! Ten-Year-Old Boy Becomes a Father!

If this is truly the origin storyline, then there's absolutely no problem with the old man Fuji having a set of super evolution components.

In order to give Origin Red the power of Mega Evolution in Kanto, the anime production team specially set up that, in addition to studying Mewtwo, the old man Fuji also studied the background of Mega Evolution.

However, the old man Fuji in front of Ash is a version that has just moved to Lavender Town, has a freshly shaved head, wears glasses, and has a goatee. This character design is quite problematic.

Besides, something's not right about this stone in front of us.

If this really is the X-Beat Evolution Stone from Origins, the inside of the ball should be a black and blue color scheme, but this one is completely transparent, with only two sets of faint interwoven patterns visible...

What kind of stone is this?

Why would I resonate with it...?

Ash was deep in thought as he looked at the Mega Stone, but at the same time, the old man Fuji was equally surprised and uncertain!

His former boss, when commissioning him to create a certain monster, provided him with a special blood sample, claiming it contained the genes of a powerful being that would allow the monster to continuously grow stronger.

Through his research, the elderly Fuji discovered that it was likely human blood.

And that blood sample truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful being. Old Man Fuji later injected many different gene fragments into that monster, but none of them could compete with the original powerful gene!

The best-performing sample only managed to coexist with it by virtue of its sheer numbers.

As for the super evolution stone in his hand, it was a crystallization of power separated from the monster during the process of nurturing it.

There were originally two of these things. It took the old man Fuji a lot of research to determine that it was likely similar to the super-evolution form that Carlos had mentioned.

Human genes have been added to the monster's body, so it must rely on human power to unleash its true power... This is the deduction made by the old man Fuji.

To verify this, he even obtained an evolution key stone, hoping to try and make the monster achieve super evolution!

Unfortunately, before anything could even begin, that tragedy struck…

Now that this power crystal can actually resonate with this young man, doesn't that mean he is the human who provided the genes of the strong?!

"Mr. Fuji, you haven't answered my question yet."

The low, questioning voice roused the old man from his reverie. He discovered that the boy had already snapped out of his daze and was playing with the Mega Stone in one hand while staring at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

For a moment, he even felt as if there was absolutely no way out...

That is certainly the case.

If he still manages to get away, Ash might as well find a crack in the ground and squeeze himself to death!

Old Man Fuji, Mega Stones, Mewtwo from the Origin Story... If you map this information onto the current world and the original anime storyline, no matter how outlandish the conclusion may seem, Ash will temporarily assume it is correct!

"This...this stone is actually..." The old man stammered, his eyes darting around anxiously...

"Let me state in advance that I am a psychic." Ash suddenly snapped his fingers, and the old man Fuji immediately felt his entire body lose control, and was forcibly pressed down onto the sofa by an invisible force.

“Even if you are unwilling to cooperate, I have ways to forcibly read your memories… but I don’t want to do that, so please tell me the truth.”

Ash paused for a moment, then took out his Investigator Badge and placed it on the table.

"Your performance going forward will help me assess whether you are an unrepentant fugitive accomplice or a tainted witness willing to turn over a new leaf!"

"Furthermore... I'm very reluctant to make this threat, but if you refuse to cooperate, the person who helped you settle in Lavender Town will also be in trouble!"
