Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

However, it's not entirely true that there's no chance of winning.

After a moment's thought, Xia Chen raised the Taijing Stone in his hand.

Chapter 479 Giving Mewtwo a Little Tranquil Shock!

For Mewtwo, fighting is for survival.

From the moment it was born, or even earlier, it felt the world's deep malice towards it.

Its exceptional intelligence, inherited from the Dream Gene, allowed its mind to mature while it was in the experimental chamber.

It can sense the greed of those around it—

They crave the benefits of creating themselves, the self-satisfaction of creating a god, or even the ambition to rule the world through their own power...

In short, no one ever cared about Mewtwo's feelings.

Its unique upbringing left it bewildered about the meaning of life, and it continues to search for a way forward to find that meaning.

And on this winding path, Xia Chen appeared.

To say that Xia Chen is like a lighthouse illuminating Mewtwo's path forward might be an exaggeration, but his actions, words, and thoughts have indeed given Mewtwo considerable inspiration and made it change its view of humanity and its behavior.

For example, Pokémon battles.

In the past, Mewtwo would have absolutely scoffed at something it considered meaningless—

Fighting is for survival, so what's the point of this childish, half-hearted performance?

But now, it is willing to experience firsthand what the meaning of battles between spirits that are not for survival is.

When Mewtwo saw Cypher take the psychic attack to save Azure Blade Ghost, it seemed to understand something in the depths of its being.

In the blink of an eye, the psychic power condensed once again into a mental blade in Mewtwo's palm.

A rare flicker of emotion crossed its indifferent eyes, and it silently murmured to itself—

Come, show me more of your power!

at the same time.

A clear shout rang out across the battlefield.

"Sai Fuhao!"

Hearing Xia Chen's call from behind, Sai Fuhao sensed something and took a few steps back to coordinate with Xia Chen's crystallization movement.

Immediately, a dazzling white light burst forth from the Taijing Pearl, enveloping Sai Fuhao's body.

There were dozens, if not hundreds, of attempts at crystallization by Saifuhao. Amidst the familiar surge of energy, it completed the crystallization at an extremely fast speed.

But then a layer of crystal-clear light brown crystalline armor condensed on its golden body, which was none other than the Dark-type Crystallization!

Saifuhao is the only Dark-type Pokémon among Xia Chen's Pokémon. The initial idea was mainly to make up for the lack of Dark-type Pokémon in the team, and to avoid the weaknesses of Ghost and Dark types.

It's also a good choice to use against Psychic-type Pokémon like Mewtwo.

The Dark-type Cyclops is now immune to all Psychic-type damage!

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Chen's lips curled into a slight smile.

Sai Fuhao, give Mewtwo a little bit of a shock!

…………

A spiritual blade, almost invisible and transparent, suddenly erupted, flashing past and slicing right in front of Sai Fuhao.

At this moment, it had just completed its crystallization, and the light brown crystals on its body shone brightly under the light.

With this armor, Sai Fuhao's body, which was about to dodge, stopped, and he took the sharp mental blade head-on.

The expected explosion did not occur; the mental blade vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Mewtwo frowned slightly.

Although it is young, its strong learning ability has made it understand the principle of type advantage. This phenomenon is obviously due to the Dark-type Pokémon's immunity to Psychic-type moves.

But how could that golden creature, always beaming with a bright smile, possibly be a Dark-type Pokémon? Even if it were, the mental shock just now couldn't have harmed it.

So the key lies in this so-called "too crystallization." Mewtwo squinted at the crystals covering Cypher's body, lost in thought.

So it's possible to change a Pokémon's attributes? Interesting...

Just as Mewtwo was pondering, a purple afterimage flashed through the air and disappeared.

Mewtwo turned its head, and its excellent dynamic vision allowed it to discover that this was the returning Azure Blade Demon!

sieve--

With a crisp, clean sound of the blade cutting through the air, Azure Flame Blade Demon approached Mewtwo at an extremely fast speed.

It was none other than the Shadow Sword, transformed from the Shadow Claw!

Just as Sai Fuhao completed his crystallization, a dense, unyielding mass of dark black energy condensed before him, instantly coalescing into a sharp arrow that shot forth—

Evil Wave!

When a Pokémon uses a Crystal-type move, it gains double the STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), plus the Dark type's double super-effectiveness against Psychic.

Without rounding, this evil wave can achieve a fourfold effect of counteracting the opponent's power.

One in front and one behind, one purple and one black, the two Pokémon attacked Mewtwo from both sides, the violent energy churning the air, yet Mewtwo remained calm and proud in mid-air.

But then it raised one hand, and a transparent energy barrier as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in front of it. At the same time, the wave of evil had already broken through the air and attacked.

hum-

A barely audible sound rang out, and as the barrier trembled slightly, the violent waves of evil instantly subsided.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Flame Blade Demon. It immediately adjusted its attack direction, crossed the Psychic Barrier, and arrived behind Mewtwo, suddenly swinging down its sword.

Boom——

A crisp sound, like the clanging of metal, rang out, and the surprise attack, which had changed direction at the last minute, also failed.

Azure Blade Ghost stared in astonishment at the crystallized skin that instantly formed on Mewtwo's back, completely bewildered as to how it, which was defending its front, could defend against a surprise attack from another direction in such a short time.

Is this Mewtwo's true power?

For the first time, the Azure Flame Blade Demon felt a sense of frustration, realizing that "such an opponent is impossible to defeat," a feeling he had never experienced in battle before.

Even if they were brutally beaten by Sylveon and Milotic, it was still the same.

…………

"It's alright, let's regroup and attack again."

Xia Chen's timely words of comfort saved the Azure Flame Blade Ghost from its nearly shattered "Dao Heart." Putting aside its dejection, the Ghost immediately swung its sword and slashed a void rift connecting to another dimension, then disappeared into it.

This stealthy attack's evasive capabilities outweigh its offensive capabilities, and Azure Flame Blade Demon desperately needs such space to adjust its strategy and reorganize its attack.

However, this also turned the situation on the field into Sai Fuhao facing Mewtwo alone.

Sai Fuhao's lips twitched slightly; it was genuinely sweating profusely at this moment.

Although Mewtwo has crystallized to become immune to Psychic-type Dark-type moves, it's not like Mewtwo only knows Psychic-type moves.

You don't even need wave missiles; any high-speed star that hits you will guarantee that Sai Fuhao will immediately have a baby-like sleep.

But Sai Fuhao himself understood that when facing an opponent like Mewtwo, Xia Chen's expectations and goals were definitely not to defeat it.

That's a legendary Pokémon whose strength is close to Deoxys. Even if it can survive two more moves, it would be quite an achievement.

Even if it could only hold out for five minutes against Mewtwo, it would still dare to boast that it was evenly matched with Zapdos.

Therefore, there is only one goal right now—

Create enough space for Azure Blade Demon to attack; even if it can cause some damage to Mewtwo, it's a victory.

Once the goal is set, Sai Fuhao's task becomes very simple: one word—guard.

When it comes to defense, that's Sai Fuhao's area of ​​expertise.

Its body is made up of a thousand gold coins, which can be assembled and transformed at will under its control.

Seeing the blue light in front of Mewtwo growing brighter, Cypher immediately used most of his gold coins to form three shields that were not large but were exceptionally thick, blocking his way.

Its body has shrunk to less than half a meter.

It shares a similar concept with Chansey's infamous "shrinking" dish, which is known for its lewdness.

If it were any other move, Cyrus's sudden shrinking might actually have helped it dodge one or two attacks.

Unfortunately, Mewtwo uses Aura Sphere.

…………

It's unclear who taught it the power of aura; perhaps it encountered a Lucario on the road, or perhaps it had a natural talent for self-discovery. Mewtwo uses its aura blast with great skill.

In less than half a second, a bright blue wave missile shot out from Mewtwo's chest.

Under the impact of the powerful waveguide force, the gold coin shield became as fragile as paper. In just an instant, the thick shield crumbled into the shape of gold coins and scattered all over the ground.

The wave missile pierced through the three shields with unstoppable force, hitting the real Sai Fuhao hidden at the very end.

Even after being weakened by numerous obstacles, this wave of missiles remains extremely powerful.

A brilliant azure light shone, and the power of the waveguide exploded in response, with exaggerated energy fluctuations directly creating a small mushroom cloud on the battlefield.

Mewtwo squinted slightly, gazing into the depths of the mushroom cloud, its attention diverted to sensing Cypher's presence—

With such a powerful bombardment, there's no way that guy could withstand it, right?

The billowing smoke quickly dissipated, revealing Sai Fuhao's body lying face down on the ground.

So they didn't make it through after all?

This result is perfectly normal, after all, this is Mewtwo. It's more surprising that Cypher was able to withstand two of Mewtwo's moves in a row by using Protect and Crystallize.

Sudden.

Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke-like energy rose from Cypher's body and poured directly into Mewtwo's body.

The strange energy made it momentarily disoriented.

Mewtwo was slightly taken aback. This was... a parting gift?
