Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Mewtwo stood up and patted Ash on the shoulder, touched.

Okay, stop talking.

Actually, we should thank you!

Mewtwo closed its eyes, took two steps, and took a deep breath.

Then—BOOM!

Superpowers erupted from its body once again!

Just as the armor was about to activate, a string of sparks appeared from Mewtwo's arm.

Those intricate circuits, those seamlessly integrated nodes, are now short-circuiting, melting, and breaking one after another!

After all, the more high-end something is, the more its influence can be felt throughout the whole system.

It can break down extremely quickly!

Looking at his arm, Mewtwo's breathing became rapid.

Now is its chance to break free from all constraints!

It reached out and gripped the shattered armor tightly, then exerted its strength.

He let the cold metal edge cut his fingertip, and blood seeped from the wound, slowly trickling down his silvery-white skin.

"Crunch—crunch—"

The piercing sound of metal twisting echoed through the dojo.

Under the combined effect of Mewtwo's power and psychic abilities, that piece of tattered armor is being torn off its body bit by bit!

The wires at the connection points were broken one by one, and electrical sparks exploded at the damaged areas like fireworks.

pain.

It hurts.

Those lines weren't just strapped to the armor.

They are embedded in the inner layer of the armor, and have a deeper connection with Mewtwo's nerve endings.

Each broken strand felt like tearing a piece off my soul.

But Mewtwo gritted its teeth and didn't utter a sound.

Compared to freedom, what is this pain?

Click!

The last connection snapped, and the entire right arm armor was ripped off!

Mewtwo lifted it high and then hurled it aside!

Mewtwo was panting heavily.

Its right arm was completely exposed, and its silvery-white skin gleamed healthily in the sunlight.

Without the cover of armor or the restraint of wires, that arm looked...extremely free!

Mewtwo hasn't stopped.

Because the remaining armor is still there, those tattered pieces still clinging to its body are desperately drawing power from it—

Although its efficiency has been greatly reduced, it still clings to it like a parasite.

Mewtwo's eyes went berserk.

It endured the excruciating pain throughout its body, and its superpowers began to surge wildly.

This time, that damn armor can't suppress it!

The tattered restraints can no longer contain the storm that has already arrived!

Superpowers erupted from Mewtwo like a tidal wave, a retaliatory outburst after being suppressed for too long.

The energy was so immense that even the air began to distort and deform.

hum-

The aftershocks of the superpowers transformed into a tangible gale, carrying rubble and dust that raged through the gym.

"Xia, Gang, Pikachu, hold on to me!"

Ash's voice came through the wind.

Xiao Zhi's feet sank down, landing firmly on the ground, and he scooped the two people up to his sides with one hand each.

Pikachu grabbed Gengar and hugged Ash tightly, its ears flapping backward in the wind.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Mewtwo's armor began to crumble piece by piece.

Start with the right arm, then the breastplate, and then the leg armor.

Each piece of armor was twisted, deformed, and shattered under the pressure of superpowers, turning into countless tiny fragments.

The fragments didn't even have time to hit the ground before they were crushed into even finer powder by the subsequent energy waves.

The dark red light seemed to be making a final struggle, flashing wildly on each fragment before finally going out.

When the last piece of armor fell off Mewtwo's chest.

The world suddenly fell silent.

The naked Mewtwo was completely exposed to the sunlight.

It slowly stretched out its arms, greedily enjoying the feeling of the sun shining down on its body without reservation. The warm touch stirred up a complex emotion in its heart.

It has no armor.

There are no restrictions.

At this moment, it is a completely free Hyperdream!

Mewtwo lowered its head and looked down at Ash and the shattered gym.

He slowly raised one hand.

Om-!

boom--!!!

......

At the same time.

A hidden underground base.

On either side of the long conference table, senior officers of the Rockets sat upright.

The folders in front of them were spread out, their densely packed data reports and plans gleaming pale under the fluorescent lights.

Sakaki was sitting in a large office chair.

His posture was as composed as ever, with his back straight, one hand resting on the table and the other holding a pen.

Even just sitting there quietly, this man exuded a sense of oppression that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

He made everyone afraid to relax even a little bit in front of him.

"—This concludes the operational report on the underground casino in Rainbow City."

The cadre standing in front of the projection screen bowed respectfully.

Sakaki nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He casually flipped open a loan agreement in front of him, scanning the densely packed clauses line by line, his pen hovering above the signature bar, ready to strike.

Om-! !

A low, rhythmic vibration suddenly rang out from Sakaki's pocket.

The sound wasn't loud, but it sounded particularly jarring in the quiet conference room, where you could almost hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes turned to their leader without prior arrangement.

The thing was so intense that Sakaki's entire body was visibly shaking.

It completely destroyed his dignity as the dark emperor of Kanto.

The officials on both sides of the conference table had different expressions.

They communicated with their eyes.

What did the boss put in his pocket?

That location...

No way? Playing this fancy game?

The eldest brother is also suppressing his feelings!

Several pairs of eyes glanced at Sakaki's pocket at the same time, then quickly looked away as if they had been burned.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became subtle.

After all, even criminal gangs can have a burning desire for gossip.

"......"

The pen tip paused.

To prevent any strange rumors from spreading, Sakaki put down his pen expressionlessly and reached into his pocket.

He then slowly pulled a Poké Ball out of his pocket.

That's not an ordinary Poké Ball.

The ball is slightly larger than the standard model, with a matte black outer shell engraved with the Rockets' signature R logo and several dark gold lines along the edges.

Those are restraint Poké Balls designed specifically for Mewtwo.

It is equipped with a multi-layered suppression device and an independent energy circulation system, and is connected to the armor on Mewtwo's body.

Its very existence is a cage—
