Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

What do they take me for? Some trainer's pet?!

Mewtwo trembled all over, and a visible psychic ripple burst forth from its body.

It was born free!

From the day it was created, it swore it would never become anyone’s tool, anyone’s weapon, or anyone’s possession!

It can be an experiment, a monster, or an object of everyone's fear... but it can never be anyone's pet!

The light of superpowers grew stronger and stronger.

Just as its power was about to break through a certain critical point, Mewtwo's body suddenly stiffened.

The black restraint armor was suddenly activated.

A dark red light shone from every joint of its body, greedily absorbing the superpowers surging within it.

snort……!

Mewtwo gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

The brilliant superpower light on his body was quickly suppressed by the armor, leaving only a thin film of light covering his body.

Even so, the air pressure was still suffocating.

It lowered its head, its arms trembling slightly.

The dark red light flickered intermittently between the gaps in the armor, like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage struggling desperately.

Mewtwo slowly raised its head and looked at Ash.

Even if it's suppressed... even so, Mewtwo will still fight back!

Mewtwo disappeared from the spot.

If the numbers aren't enough, the mechanics will make up for it!

In an instant, it appeared silently beside Ash.

Enveloped in residual superpowers, it gathered light in its hand and blasted it directly toward Ash's chest!

This strike was faster than any of the previous ones.

At such speed, Ash could only barely dodge to the side.

The almost tangible energy grazed his cheek and then blasted a hole nearly a meter in diameter in the wall behind him.

Brick fragments flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

Mewtwo didn't pause at all.

With a flick of his left hand, a burst of psychic energy swept across.

Ash bent backward, and his psychic powers swept over his body, further damaging the already dilapidated gym.

Mewtwo lunged forward.

Teleportation, wave missiles, telekinesis, teleportation, mental blades—its attacks poured down like a storm.

Each strike carries power far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon; each strike is delivered with rage.

Ash dodged left and right during the gaps in the attacks.

Although the edge of the mental blade grazed his cheek, leaving a faint bloodstain.

But the look in his eyes as he gazed at Mewtwo carried a strange hint of confusion.

Although the power of each attack from this Pokémon exceeds that of ordinary Pokémon.

But... it's only better than ordinary Pokémon; it's not as powerful as Ash had expected.

And to be honest...

Its melee capabilities are so-so, not even as good as its previous ranged attacks!

Two minutes later.

Mewtwo, who insisted on close combat, was completely pinned to the ground by Ash.

Ash's knees were pressed against its waist, one hand gripped its right wrist tightly, and the other hand pressed against its shoulder.

Mewtwo's chest heaved violently, and his limbs went limp.

The restraint armor was also dull and lifeless, with a dark red glow that appeared intermittently.

"Hey..." Ash squatted down, tilting his head to look at Mewtwo, "Why haven't you used your full strength yet?"

There was no sarcasm in his tone, only pure doubt.

From the very beginning, Ash sensed a dangerous aura emanating from it.

That aura made his muscles tense and excited him instinctively.

But once a fight actually broke out... this is it?

Mewtwo's performance was, to put it nicely, mediocre, and to put it bluntly, rather unremarkable.

"Your strength... shouldn't be more than this, right?"

So what if it is!

Mewtwo's eyes were fierce, almost spitting fire.

It turned its head and looked away.

And it's not that it doesn't want to! It's that it can't!

If it weren't for this tattered armor...

Hmph! Who wins and who loses is still hard to say!

If it could unleash its full power, a single strong mental strike from it could blast you, a human, away!

Who gets pinned to the ground?

Having read Mewtwo's eyes, Ash blinked, his gaze naturally falling on the black restraint armor on Mewtwo's body.

"Armor?"

He tilted his head, leaned closer, and examined it carefully.

The metallic texture, the intricate patterns, the subtle dark red glow flowing at the joints—it's definitely not part of the body.

"So they weren't one entity after all."

Xiao Zhi suddenly realized, his tone filled with a sense of novelty.

"I thought it was like the Azure Flame Blade Demon, a completely integrated symbiotic armor."

He stretched out his hand and tapped his knuckles on it.

knock knock.

The sound had a metallic quality, with a slightly hollow echo.

"By the way, what material is this made of?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously, running his fingers over the surface of the armor. "It feels so strange, it doesn't feel like ordinary metal..."

Mewtwo was about to snort coldly.

Then you see Xiaozhi use three fingers to squeeze the armor on its arm.

Huh?

It's quite sturdy, isn't it? Then try a little harder.

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly, and subtly increased the pressure between his fingertips.

Click!

A sharp crack rang out, particularly jarring in the now quiet dojo.

Mewtwo was stunned.

It suddenly looked at its right arm.

Three fingerprints have already appeared on the armor.

Each fingerprint was deeply embedded in the metal, with cracks extending outwards from the edges.

The wiring inside the armor was broken through the cracks, crackling and sparking with a faint hissing sound.

"!!!"

Mewtwo's eyes widened to an unprecedented degree, and its brain completely shut down at that moment.

That's restraint armor!

Forged from a special alloy and reinforced countless times, this restraint armor is so powerful that even its own superpowers cannot tear it apart when unleashed at full force!

This human...

With your fingers...

You just crushed it?!

Mewtwo seemed a little dazed.

Its worldview was impacted like never before at this moment.

Could it be that superpowers are a kind of superiority attribute?

Is superpower the ultimate answer to the universe?

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia peeked out from the corner and immediately spotted the crack flashing with electricity.

She gasped.

"This looks incredibly expensive! Ash, and you even broke it!"

Xiao Zhi quickly let go of her hand, stood up, and waved.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!"

"I didn't do it on purpose! I just wanted to test the texture, I didn't expect it to break so easily when I used a little force!"

"How about I see if I can fix it for you? Or I can pay you back—"

Repaired?
