Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 50 Old Deng's Gold Coins Always Smell So Good

Are there any "gods" in the Pokémon world?

Eileen doesn't actually think so; she's an atheist and has no particular faith.

But Eileen also roughly understood what the so-called 'god' really represented.

For example, in Kanto, there are only two beings that can be called "gods": the legendary giant bird Pokémon Lugia and Ho-Oh!

Ho-Oh is revered as the "Rainbow God" by its worshippers, while Lugia is the "Sea God".

However, in Irene's view, who does not believe in either of them, Lugia and Ho-Oh are just legendary Pokémon.

Of course, Lugia and Ho-Oh are definitely not just ordinary legends, because their power far surpasses that of ordinary legendary Pokémon.

The "man-made god" that the old man from Fuji mentioned is, in other words, a man-made legend! But can legendary Pokémon be created artificially?

"Grandpa Fuji, could you be more specific?" Gu Xin understood what was on his mind.

"The Rockets somehow obtained the Mew gene and invited me to participate in their research, and I...did not refuse."

The elderly Fuji hesitated for a moment, but eventually began to slowly recount his story.

Why not refuse? Team Rocket is a notorious evil organization!

Eileen was puzzled, but perhaps it was for some special reason.

"We study Dream's genetic material every day and try to recombine it, and we have combined the two using cloning biotechnology."

"The process of this genetic technology did not go smoothly at first, but I later tried to add genes from other excellent Pokémon to stabilize the recombinant Mew's genetic material, and then..."

The elderly Fuji pressed his lips tightly together, and his voice trembled slightly.

"The so-called 'miracle' was born, and the Rockets named it 'Mewtwo'."

By recombining Mew's genetic material and continuously adding the genes of other excellent Pokémon to compensate for the incompleteness of the recombined Mew's genetic material, a brand new legend was born!

Eileen was stunned! They really created an artificial legend? And it was created using the Dream Gene.

"Incredible," Gu Xin exclaimed.

The so-called legendary Pokémon, according to the official explanation, are key Pokémon in the legends of the Pokémon world.

Why are they legendary Pokémon? What does "legendary" mean?

Stories and legends passed down orally, historical legends in ancient ruins and murals, and solemn and sacred myths and legends in ancient temples!

Legendary Pokémon often possess immense power and are extremely rare. Some are revered as legendary gods or divine messengers, some are considered creators or managers of something in the world, and some have even caused great disasters in the past.

However, some legendary Pokémon are actually powerful Pokémon created by humans for certain purposes!

Mewtwo clearly belongs to this category.

"But after Mewtwo was born, Team Rocket no longer concealed their desires. They injected a large amount of combat and war knowledge into the newly born Mewtwo."

The elderly Fuji looked pained; he had indeed joined Team Rocket's cloning biological gene experiment for certain reasons.

But Mewtwo was ultimately created by him; strictly speaking, isn't Mewtwo his 'child'?

Mewtwo, which I painstakingly created, should have been perfect! Its creation shouldn't have been solely for Team Rocket's ambition and desire.

"Mewtwo was born from the recombination of Mew's genetic material, so its heart was inherently incomplete. I created a new 'heart' for it, but Team Rocket is corrupting it!"

Listening to the old man Fuji's hateful words, Koshin remained silent, though he vaguely remembered some of them.

"Born from the recombination of Mew's genetic material, it is said to possess the most ferocious heart of all Pokémon."

"Pokémon created using Mew's genes possess unparalleled power and a ferocious spirit."

"Pokémon created through genetic manipulation—human science can create their bodies, but it cannot create their gentle hearts."

These are all descriptions of Mewtwo from different generations of Pokédex entries, demonstrating Mewtwo's uniqueness.

"I tried to stop them, but I couldn't do anything. With the help of my friends, I escaped Team Rocket and brought all of Mewtwo's research data with me."

The old man, Fuji, sounded extremely tired. Mewtwo had been born, and the next step was to adjust its body data and wait for Mewtwo's self-awareness to fully awaken.

The Rockets have also stopped allowing Fuji to contact Mewtwo, fully embodying the philosophy of "the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked."

Knowing that staying with Team Rocket would become increasingly dangerous, the elderly Fuji and another researcher friend left Team Rocket's research base.

"Do you still remember where that lab that researched Mewtwo was located?"

Gu Xin pondered for a moment, then asked the old man Fuji.

"After my friend and I escaped, Team Rocket moved Mewtwo away," the old man in Fuji shook his head.

It's a bit of a shame, Guxin. If only she could have stolen Mewtwo before it fully awakened...

It might be possible to fool them, since Mewtwo is actually quite confused and 'naive' when it first wakes up.

"Please don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault," Gu Xin comforted the old man Fuji.

In fact, Dr. Fuji is a kind-hearted person. Even in the movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back", Dr. Fuji is not entirely driven by personal desires.

Mewtwo was created for his daughter Ai, who died young.

The old man shook his head with a wry smile, but he had to admit that he felt much better after revealing this deep-seated secret.

"Guxin, about this matter..."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Fuji, we won't tell anyone else."

"Thank you." The elderly man, Fuji, was very grateful.

"Actually, I secretly left Mewtwo with a lot of memories without Team Rocket's knowledge. I think even Team Rocket couldn't completely turn it into a war machine."

The old man Fuji spoke, hesitated for a moment, and then reached into his pocket and took out two exquisite little beads, handing them to Guxin.

"This is the power that Mewtwo hasn't fully replenished yet. Gushin, you're a very talented child. If you have the opportunity..."

After a final conversation with the old man, he left, wanting to return to his peaceful life in Shion Town.

Although it's unclear whether the Rockets are willing to let him go so easily, the veteran Fuji is truly exhausted.

As he watched the old man Fuji's figure gradually disappear from sight, Gu Xin looked down at the two crystal-clear beads in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

He recognized what it was!

Mewtwo~

Gu Xin sighed and carefully put the two precious pearls away.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a melodious chirping sound rang out, and a sleepy-eyed Pipi poked its little head out of Guxin's backpack.

Are you hungry?

"Meow~"

"Eat, play, sleep, eat again, you might as well get fat."

Gu Xin laughed and scolded as he grabbed the Pipi, which was noticeably a little fatter, and brought it in front of him.

"Mimi~" Pipi tilted her head as if she didn't understand, looking innocent and naive, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Alright, alright, eat more. We'll head back to Rota Street soon."

Gushin had no choice but to take out some snacks and energy cubes, but the little guy woke up just in time.

I wonder what kind of expression it would have if it woken up early and found out it had a "distant relative"?

Pipi squinted its eyes, skillfully opened a can of food with its short little hands, and then happily began to eat, looking very cute.

Despite its small size, Pipi actually has a huge appetite; to exaggerate a bit, it can eat three pigs in one meal.

This directly resulted in 'Pipi's' body visibly growing bigger in just over a week.

Guxin seriously doubted that if things continued like this, the cat might one day become unable to walk.

"Pipi is so cute, Guxin, you seem to really like it?"

Eileen glanced at Guxin curiously; she could sense that Guxin doted on Pipi.

"There's no other way, we're trying to trick this child into coming home." Gu Xin chuckled, while 'Pipi' in his arms was eating with grease dripping from its mouth, and it was unclear whether it had heard Gu Xin and the other person's voice.

Eileen blinked, looking somewhat bewildered but impressed.

"Let's go back. Although this child can go out, he can't stay for too long."

It's not that Dream can't leave the World Tree, but it certainly can't be away for too long, since Rota Street is actually outside the World Tree.

This little guy has to go back to the World Tree regularly, since it's bound to the World Tree.

Speaking of which... there must be more than one Mew, right?

According to Gu Xinsi, it seems there are more than that in the original work, but it is not absolute. Meng Huan is also a well-known street hustler.

Wandering around for a short period of time is something that Fantasy often does.

"?" Eileen was puzzled again. What did this mean?

"Speaking of which, Guxin, you'll have your first apprentice tomorrow, won't you?"

"Yes, I've told Mizuki to report to the dojo tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Gu Xin thought for a moment, then took out his phone and started editing a short message.

Who should I send it to? Of course, my dear father, since he happens to be in Alola.

Old Deng's gold coins always smell so good!
