Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He looked at Gengar, who was still immersed in the illusion and had no ability to resist.

Mewtwo slowly raised its right hand, its fingers slightly bent, the movement unhurried and exuding an arrogant composure.

Blue light gathered at his fingertips.

The energy was compressed and rotated, eventually condensing into a blue sphere the size of a fist.

It was a wave missile!

Mewtwo pointed at Gengar with a blank expression.

Although this was just an "educational" attack, it was enough to teach this arrogant Gengar a lesson it would never forget!

A light tap with your fingertips.

hum-

Wave missiles shot out!

A blue orb of light sliced ​​through the air with a low hum as it hurtled toward Gengar!

Just as the Aura Sphere was about to hit Gengar's head, Mewtwo was already poised to swagger.

But one hand, with its five fingers spread wide, blocked the missile's flight path precisely.

Then—smack! !

A single, casual slap sent him crashing into the wall.

boom!!!

A loud bang.

The deflected wave missile struck the wall, instantly creating a large crater.

Gravel flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the entire wall.

But a figure stood in front of Gengar, without moving an inch!

After seeing what Ash looked like.

Mewtwo's mind went blank for a brief moment.

...The wave missile I just fired was knocked away by this person with his bare hands?!

Mewtwo blinked unconsciously.

Although he wasn't at full strength due to the armor's suppression, he hadn't used his full power in that wave missile attack—

But bare-handed?

It was even swatted away?

Is this something a human could do? Is this even human?!

Mewtwo's first reaction was not anger, nor the humiliation of being provoked, but... alertness!

After all, they were able to achieve this level of skill.

Could this guy be a "clone" like me?

On the surface, he's a trainer, but what legendary Pokémon is actually impersonating him?

Mewtwo focused its energy, and a faint light shone deep within its purple eyes—

Let me see what you really are!

It maximized its perception and opened its eyes to the fullest extent, scanning Xiao Zhi carefully from top to bottom.

Yes, there were no fluctuations in superpowers.

It also lacks the hallucinatory properties of being disguised as human.

It doesn't even have any of the energy characteristics unique to Pokémon... it's just like a real human being.

This...this isn't right, is it?

Unconvinced, Mewtwo scanned the image once, twice, and three times.

But still, there was nothing.

The boy stood there in front of Gengar, his arm slightly raised and his body leaning forward slightly. There was no trace of superpowers on his body, nor any aura of disguise.

Is this really a person?

Mewtwo was stunned.

That's so unlike him!

......

opposite.

Xiao Zhi moved the hand that caught the ball, spreading his fingers and then clenching them, as if to confirm.

To be honest, I acted instinctively, but I didn't expect to actually knock the missile away.

This feeling... is quite peculiar.

How should I put it? It felt like hitting a particularly arrogant baseball with my bare hands?

He tilted his head.

Ash pointed at Mewtwo and said to Brock and Misty, shielding Gengar behind him.

"You all saw it just now, it was the one that went down first, being the commander!"

"I saw it."

Xiaoxia nodded helplessly.

"Ah."

Xiao Gang also looked serious.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu also waved its little paw and shouted righteously.

"According to the rules of the Kanto region, this means they're issuing me an invitation to a field battle!"

Mewtwo: "???"

Wild fight?

invite?

What does this mean? Has it become a challenger?

Mewtwo shifted its gaze from Ash to the sidelines.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia had somehow retreated to the farthest corner of the dojo, so far away that they were practically standing at the entrance.

The two stood side by side, arms crossed, their expressions remarkably identical.

It wasn't worry, it wasn't tension, but rather... sympathy.

A sense of sympathy, like "Brother, you're so foolish."

A kind of sympathy that asks, "Do you even know who you've offended?"

A kind of sympathy that says, "It's not too late to run away now."

Mewtwo: "?"

It couldn't understand the situation, but it decided to stop looking.

Unconvinced, Mewtwo took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable unease in its heart, and raised its right hand again.

The blue wave missile condensed in his palm, larger than before, and its energy fluctuations were even more intense.

It didn't give Ash any time to react, and immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks!

Four or five Apollo missiles, some aimed directly at the front, some circled around to the side, and some drew an arc as they slammed down from overhead—

The angle was tricky, and the speed was extremely fast, almost sealing off all room for dodging!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi narrowed his eyes.

He didn't dodge, didn't retreat, and didn't even move a step.

He stretched out his hands again.

Not only did he knock them all away, but Ash even came up with some fancy tricks.

Thinking that this was something Xiao Zhi could do, he gathered his five fingers together and caught the blue energy ball steadily, as if picking an apple.

Then, to Mewtwo's astonishment, he swung his arm backward and flicked it—

They threw it back the way they came!

The wave missile streaked straight out in a blue light, heading straight for Mewtwo's face!

Mewtwo's pupils contracted sharply, and its body instinctively shifted to one side.

The wave missile grazed its faceplate and blasted a second large crater in the wall behind it—deeper, larger, and with more dense cracks than the first.

The gravel clattered and fell to the ground.

Chaos was startled.

How come your waveguide seems even more advanced than mine?

"I know that move!" Xiaoxia clapped her hands excitedly from the sidelines. "It's using someone else's force against them!"

"Pickup!"

Feeling slighted, Mewtwo took a deep breath.

You forced me to do this!

Mewtwo suddenly opened its arms, and psychic light surged out of its body like a tide!

With such a massive amount of superpower.

The only source of light in the entire gym seemed to be the psychic energy surging like flames emanating from Mewtwo's body!

The air grew heavy.
