Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The aura grew increasingly terrifying, as if there was an invisible pressure in the air, making it difficult for the two people and the rat to breathe.

And [Sakaki]'s face began to contort.

His facial features were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, like a reflection in water with a stone thrown in, creating eerie ripples.

It was as if beneath that human skin, a ferocious beast was struggling desperately, ready to burst out at any moment!

Seeing this, Xiaoxia's eyes widened, and she whispered something.

"This...this...is Sakaki really that temperamental?"

"He didn't say a word from beginning to end, I thought he was in a good mood... Look at him, he looks like he's so angry he's almost unrecognizable!"

“Indeed.” Xiao Gang paused, then commented, “...I feel he’s not as good as Master Xia Bo.”

"It's not that it seems like..."

Xiao Zhi scratched his head; with his amazing eyesight, he could see it clearly.

"...it's all an illusion."

"Eh?"

The moment the words left his mouth—[Sakaki]'s disguise completely crumbled.

That human exterior peeled away like shattered glass, revealing the true face beneath.

It floats in the air.

Its entire body was covered in thick armor, except for a long tail that hung down from behind, with the end slightly curled.

Through the thick mask, one could vaguely see his cold eyes.

Mewtwo looked down at the three people and the rat from its high position.

It slowly opened its arms, the armor making a slight mechanical clicking sound at the joints, as if it were receiving some grand coronation ceremony.

It waits.

Waiting for screams, waiting for fear, waiting for these tiny humans to panic and retreat, their legs going weak, huddled together in fear before its true form.

This is the first time it has torn off its disguise in front of strangers.

This kind of moment deserves a stunning reaction!

Xiaoxia stared at Mewtwo in shock.

"This, this..."

That's right!

That's it!

Fear it! Scream it! Be terrified!

Tremble before my hidden form!

"...Is this the Azure Flame Blade Demon?"

Shocked, Xia asked her own question.

"Is Giovanni really that unethical, actually using a Pokémon to substitute for him?!"

"Isn't this a pay thief?!"

Xiaoxia said in a trembling voice.

Mewtwo: "?"

Are you blind?

In what way does it resemble the Azure Blade Demon?

What point?!

"It doesn't look like it."

Xiao Gang sized up Mewtwo.

"Shouldn't the Azure Flame Blade Demon have blue flames on its body? This... there's nothing there, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon doesn't have a tail either."

"Those are the Crimson Lotus Knights?"

"No! This is a brand new Pokémon that has never appeared before!"

Ash stepped in front of Brock and Misty and spoke up.

Mewtwo subconsciously glanced at Ash, whose expression was the most serious among the three.

Ash waved at Pikachu with a serious expression.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu's face was also tense, staring intently at Mewtwo.

Finally, one of the three is normal...!

Mewtwo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Click!"

A flash of light went off inside the dojo.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu held up the Pokédex, its two little paws skillfully adjusting the angle—

Move a little to the left, a little to the right, perfect composition, and then "click" to add another close-up side view.

Then it handed the Pokédex to Ash with satisfaction.

Ash took the Pokédex and nodded in satisfaction.

"Great shot, Pikachu! I'll send it to the professor in a bit!"

After all, the professor is most interested in Pokémon that have never appeared before!

It might even add a new entry to the encyclopedia!

Xiaoxia leaned over and took a look.

"This angle really brings out the luster in the eyes, it's got something special!"

"The composition is also good," Xiao Gang nodded in approval. "The background blur is just right, highlighting the subject."

The atmosphere instantly fell apart as the three of them discussed the matter.

Mewtwo hovered in mid-air, its face beneath the armor alternating between pale and flushed.

Gengar, momentarily stunned, first looked at Mewtwo, which was suspended in mid-air.

He glanced at his own Shadow Orb, then looked finally at the Rhinoceros Drillhorn still struggling with its exam paper in the illusion.

I thought about it.

“ber~”

It stuck its tongue out at Mewtwo and gave it a sly smile.

Then--

The Shadow Ball was hurled directly at the Drillhorn Beast!

whee!

Since no one has called a halt, let's finish the fight first!

Mewtwo: "??!"

It's already standing right here, how dare you lay a hand on it?!

Aren't you guys underestimating me a bit too much?

Looking at Gengar, Mewtwo's eyes suddenly lit up!

Gengar, still holding the Shadow Ball, hadn't even realized what was happening—

brush!

Everything around them instantly distorted.

The gym disappeared, Ash disappeared, Pikachu disappeared, Misty and Brock all disappeared.

Gengar finds itself sitting at... a school desk?

A test paper lay open on the table, covered with dense writing.

Behind each desk sat a... Pokémon I didn't recognize.

Its appearance is somewhere between a human and a feline, and it is entirely silver-white except for its eyes, tail, and belly, which are purple.

The Pokémon didn't seem to appear out of thin air; it was as if it had always been there.

Their gazes were sharp and unified; their purple eyes held no superfluous emotions, only an absolute and unquestionable scrutiny.

It's as if... they're waiting for Gengar to hand in its answer.

Gengar: "...???"

Isn't this an illusion it created?

Wasn't the administrator supposed to be here? Why is it doing questions on its own?

203. Is it a person?!

Gengar never expected that it would be dragged into the illusion it had created.

It paused for two seconds.

Then a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of my heart.

You dare use my methods against me?!

Gengar was enraged!

That was a fit of anger!
