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

"Well... okay, I'll tell you..."

With escalating verbal attacks, the old man Fuji didn't even have time to come up with a coherent excuse before Ash completely shattered his psychological defenses.

"I was once employed by Team Rocket to create a terrifying monster..."

Old Man Fuji... to put it bluntly, he is actually Dr. Fuji, the scientist who created Mewtwo for Team Rocket on New Island!

In the original movie, he should have been destroyed along with Niijima, but Mewtwo stopped at the crucial moment and didn't kill him.

He was thrown into the sea by Mewtwo and later drifted to Twin Islands. After being rescued, he happened to run into an old acquaintance of his—Blanc, the Gym Leader of Cinnabar City.

They were both researchers at the Cinnabar Research Institute. Out of gratitude for that connection, Blaine helped him bypass the police system and open a Pokémon orphanage in the remote Lavender Town, allowing the transformed Professor Fuji to settle there.

Therefore, the reason Dr. Fuji shaved his head is likely because Blaine was also bald...

This is definitely a case of researchers being jealous!

As for why Dr. Fuji doesn't change his name, it's because the name 'Fuji' is far too common; he's not the only one in Shion Town.

The above is Dr. Fuji's miraculous survival experience. Ash never expected that the events that occurred on the new island would be so complicated.

Judging by the time, that must have been more than two months ago. Mewtwo has probably been tricked into joining Giovanni's crew by now.

If it doesn't betray them, then the Rockets' strength will be greatly enhanced!

In addition, there were the two people who stole the experimental data.

With both Gear Monster and Daewoo Monster around, it's clear that Unova's side came to pick up the scraps.

They stole another power crystal, and perhaps that's how Unova's Awakened Mewtwo came about...

As for the power crystal in front of Ash, although Professor Fuji did not say it explicitly, Ash still guessed his connection with Mewtwo.

The genes of the strong?

Ash didn't know whether to laugh or cry at being so highly regarded by Giovanni.

However, the time I had my blood drawn was probably during that coma when I was four years old.

The entire Viridian City is under Team Rocket's control, and the Pokémon Center is no exception.

So... I actually became Mewtwo's biological father?

Ash imagined what it would be like for the father and son to meet again, and wondered if Mewtwo would be so excited that it would crush his head...

"That's too much!" Ash's thoughts were interrupted by Gary's angry roar.

He was now staring wide-eyed, impulsively grabbing at the old man Fuji's collar.

"How could you create such a terrifying Pokémon for Team Rocket?!"

Gary was unaware that the so-called "strong gene" came from Satoshi; he was simply shocked that Satoshi had created such a dangerous being.

According to Dr. Fuji, Mewtwo is clearly a 'monster that hates humans' and is now wandering around some corner of the world, causing endless chaos and destruction!

"I thought I could control it, and I even fantasized about using it to fulfill my wishes, but in the end, I unleashed a disaster with my own hands..."

Dr. Fuji tilted his head, his eyes not reflecting self-reproach, but an emptiness of utter despair…

Chapter 106 Xiao Mao's Decision

"Mr. Fuji, on behalf of the alliance, I thank you for your assistance."

Just as Professor Fuji was lying down and accepting the ridicule, Ash suddenly spoke up and gave a rather official response.

At the same time, he gave Xiao Mao a wink, signaling his best friend, who was gritting his teeth, to calm down.

"Tch~" Xiao Mao rolled his eyes at the guy who was showing off his official power, and sat back down in his original seat angrily.

But Professor Fuji didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard what Ash said.

Ash didn't seem to care and continued calmly, "Based on your performance just now, the League will not pursue your responsibility further... However, please forget everything related to Mewtwo!"

Professor Fuji was slightly moved, but Ash pretended not to notice.

"You've never studied Mewtwo's eyelashes, much less created Mewtwo! From now on... you're no longer Dr. Fuji, just Old Man Fuji of Lavender Town!"

"Why..." Dr. Fuji muttered to himself, puzzled, "I used to work for Team Rocket, and I even created such a terrifying monster..."

"Mr. Fuji, Mewtwo is also a Pokémon. Please stop using that kind of term to refer to it!" Ash glared at him seriously.

"You should be glad you didn't do anything like the other Team Rocket members who went too far in harming Pokémon, otherwise I would have locked you up in the League prison! Blaine, who protected you, would also be held accountable!"

"Also, please don't be so arrogant. You are merely the creator of Mewtwo. Just because you don't have the power to control and guide it doesn't mean that we, as trainers, don't either!!"

Admittedly, Dr. Fuji was a pitiful person.

Ash had learned some of his background and the original intention behind creating Mewtwo from the radio drama, but he didn't need to explain those things or empathize with them.

Mewtwo has Ash's genes in its body. Although Ash never thought he had to make it acknowledge him as its father, he would never abandon it, and he would never allow others to slander it by calling it a 'monster'!

And to put it bluntly, Xiaozhi really disapproves of the other party's pretentious behavior after the fact.

After bringing Mewtwo out, I realized things were really bad... If you were so aware of this, you shouldn't have started researching it for your own selfish desires in the first place!

Now that something has really happened, he's started sighing and becoming completely despondent.

Even though they have no real role to play, they insist on believing they play a crucial part in the event; this is simply creating drama for themselves.

But in reality, aren't the League and the Trainers the ones truly fighting the crisis and solving the problems?!

“Trainer…” Professor Fuji stared blankly at Ash. The boy in front of him was somewhat aggressive, but at the same time, he exuded extreme confidence!

Is this what humans with genes for strength are like...?

For a moment, Dr. Fuji even had a ridiculous thought... that the other party might actually be able to restrain Mewtwo!

Although it was only for a moment, it did make him look at Ash with even greater respect.

"I understand... From now on, I will not mention anything related to Mewtwo again."

Being forced to sever ties with the past is undoubtedly agonizing, but Dr. Fuji had no other choice.

"Also... I'll leave that power crystal to you, along with the evolution key stone I collected earlier. I'll give it to you as well."

Dr. Fuji found another small marble in the safe and pushed it in front of Satoshi.

"Actually, I've been living in fear lately... but I guess it's all just pointless worry," he said with a self-deprecating sigh.

After escaping death on New Island, Dr. Fuji was not grateful for Mewtwo's mercy; instead, he was afraid that Mewtwo would be attracted to the Power Crystal.

This is actually what makes researchers like him so awkward; they're worried to death, but they still have to keep it going.

If you're afraid you can't handle Mewtwo, why don't you just throw it into the sea?

Fortunately, he didn't throw it away, which is why it ended up benefiting Ash...

"What exactly is this Power Crystal... Is it a Mega Stone that Mewtwo can use?" Ash asked curiously.

"It's not just Mewtwo, it's a Mega Stone that any Pokémon can use!"

"What did you say?!"

This news is pretty explosive!

This transparent stone is actually a multi-purpose object?!

"This power crystal, you might think it's transparent, but it's actually a mixture of countless colors, just like light." Dr. Fuji couldn't help but feel a little proud when talking about his research results. "It was born from Mewtwo, and it also contains Mew's genes and the infinite potential of humans. You could say it contains all the possibilities for Pokémon Mega Evolution!"

"According to my research, when it is worn on a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, it will gradually transform into the corresponding Mega Stone, and Mewtwo is no exception."

"As for what other amazing features it has, I have no idea."

"I see..." Ash understood what Professor Fuji meant. This Power Crystal was essentially a basic growth-type equipment that would branch out and evolve in the future.

Both Steelix and Pinsir can use this stone, but no matter who wears it in the end, it will gradually take shape and become that Pokémon's exclusive held item!

Its upper limit is naturally the Mega Stone exclusive to Mewtwo.

...

"Mewtwo... I never expected such a terrifying Pokémon to appear." After saying goodbye to the old man Fuji, Shigeru was still worried about Mewtwo.

Although Ash's words sounded nice, it's impossible to feel at ease letting such a creature roam freely.

"Mr. Fuji's view on Mewtwo is biased. Since the other party spared his life, it at least shows that it is not a Pokémon created purely for destruction. Moreover... it should not be wandering around."

"Where is it now?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.

"It's probably in Team Rocket's hands... They went to such great lengths to create Mewtwo, so they must have had a contingency plan to prevent it from escaping as Fuji thought."

Mewtwo's whereabouts will probably remain the same as in the original story. If Giovanni can't even temporarily control Mewtwo, then he'll really be a disgrace to the strongest villain.

"Team Rocket..." When the name of the organization was mentioned, Shigeru's expression was solemn, but he still carried a hint of indignation.

"Well, you don't really need to worry too much," Ash suddenly said, feigning nonchalance. "Just keep the Mewtwo thing to yourself; after all, that's the League's problem to deal with..."

"So you're excluding me?" Xiao Mao demanded angrily. "You can act with the drama queen Lan, but you're leaving me hanging... and now you expect me to pretend I know nothing?!"

"Blue's parents were kidnapped by Team Rocket, and I'm now an investigator for the League." Ash's expression gradually turned serious. "Fighting Team Rocket is our top priority... For this goal, I'm even willing to give up attending the League Conference at any time!"

That's right, Ash did embark on his journey to challenge the League, but his main mission has completely changed since the Dragonite Island incident!

"Xiao Mao, of course I know you're unwilling, but if you don't have the necessary awareness..."

"Don't give me that talk about self-awareness!" Xiao Mao waved his hand angrily. "All I know is that we grew up together, and you can't just leave me behind! Besides... I still have a score to settle with the Rockets!!"
