Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"What exactly happened?"

Tetsuya's brain was about to explode.

"Down!"

The blazing chickens' calls echoed inside the cave.

The fact that its two companions lost their fighting ability so quickly did not deter it; instead, the flames erupting from its wrists became even more intense.

Only the strong have a reason to fight.

That's always been its belief.

Gradually, all the fire-type energy disappeared from Blaziken's body surface.

Even its fur had lost some of its luster.

Only its heavy breathing indicated that it was using all its strength to prepare for an attack.

The Blaziken slowly bent its knees and squatted down.

The not-so-thick arms and claws seemed to have lost their weight and landed lightly on the ground.

"boom!!"

next moment.

The towering inferno broke free of the ground's constraints, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose by more than ten degrees.

The originally damp cave was instantly transformed into a sauna.

Even with the aid of his superpowers, Tetsuya couldn't clearly see the specific situation of Mewtwo behind him.

All that could be seen was a dark shadow, standing calmly in place, unchanged.

Taking advantage of the time, Tetsuya quickly moved all the rubble aside.

As expected, the Monarch Serpent and the Giant Rock Monster had already fainted.

He put his two companions back into their Deluxe Balls for a quick recovery, and then tried to put Blaziken back as well.

"Down"

Exhausted, Blaziken leaned against the rock wall and refused Tetsuya's advances.

It looked at the elf who was in the sea of ​​fire.

Tetsuya gave a wry smile.

He knew without even looking that with this level of attack, the opponent probably wouldn't even suffer the slightest injury.

The gap between a first-level god and a heavenly king is greater than the gap between a heavenly king and a child.

I took a deep breath and stood down next to the Blaziken.

Tetsuya wanted to see what this super dream that had suddenly appeared in front of him was up to.

He didn't think the other party would approach him for no reason.

Under the watchful eyes of a human and an elf.

The shadowy figure in the flames grew larger and closer.

Not long after.

Mewtwo, surrounded by a transparent barrier, walked out of the sea of ​​fire step by step.

The Blazing Flame has a base power of 150, but when used by Blaziken, its actual power can reach an exaggerated level of nearly 300.

The nearby molten rocks speak volumes about the temperature and energy of the flames.

But for Mewtwo, it was like taking a hot bath.

Gallade was also taken out along with them.

Strangely, it wasn't attacked by Mewtwo to the point of losing its ability to fight.

It's just that I can't move my entire body at all.

“Eh...do.…”

Gallade desperately tried to unleash the psychic powers within its body, but the surrounding restraints remained completely still.

"Humph"

A muffled groan escaped Tetsuya's lips, and his face turned pale.

The purple light that had just appeared in his eyes immediately dimmed.

"As expected of a first-level god in the superpower category."

Zheye felt miserable inside.

If you can't outmatch them in strength, you can't escape.

Even if they fight desperately, the final outcome will likely remain the same.

This was unlike any of the dangerous situations he had encountered before.

Silence fell over the pitch-black cave.

The blazing flames burned fiercely, causing sweat to stream down Tetsuya's forehead without ceasing.

"You know me?"

A neutral voice broke the deadlock.

Tetsuya immediately realized that this was a question from Mewtwo.

"Yes."

After thinking for a while, he gave the simplest answer.

"But you shouldn't know me."

Mewtwo's words made Tetsuya's heart pound wildly.

"Why? Isn't it normal for humans to know elves?"

He said so.

Mewtwo's face was devoid of any emotion: "That's right, but I'm an exception."

"If you don't mind, may I take a look at that guy?"

As it spoke, it casually used its psychic powers to take a Poké Ball from Tetsuya's waist.

In the latter's eyes, the purple light appeared once again.

"Boom"

A faint, almost imperceptible cracking sound rang out.

The weakened Tetsuya touched his nose and ears, and the glaring red color brought him back to his senses somewhat.

"Has no one taught you that stealing a Pokémon from a trainer is absolutely wrong?"

Hearing Tetsuya's question, Mewtwo, holding a Poké Ball, tilted its head: "But in my observation, a considerable number of you humans do this, so why can't it be?"

"click"

Faint cracks appeared on the Poké Ball.

The next moment, the elf inside turned into red light and ran out.

“kia”

The knight snail, observing everything from inside, silently raised his twin pistols.

Even before he realized something was wrong, Zhe had already recalled the few weaker Pokémon into their Poké Balls.

Including the Shiny Dragon.

Because he couldn't determine whether the danger came from humans or elves.

But I didn't expect it.

It turned out to be Mewtwo.

Are you also a Pokémon created by humans?

Seeing the Knight Snail looking like it was facing a formidable enemy, Mewtwo's attitude was surprisingly gentle.

“kia”

The former did not answer, but instead thrust his gun straight out.

"it's useless."

Mewtwo tapped its finger lightly.

The Knight Snail immediately transformed into the same state as Gallade.

The body's various parts are not under its own control.

"I am invincible."

Mewtwo's tone was as if stating a fact: "Since my birth, I have never encountered anything that can oppose me."

Apart from my creator, who can harm me with specially crafted weapons, no human or elf is my match.

The superpower swept across the Knight Snail's body with unrestrained force.

Mewtwo was a little curious: "It seems that you and I are not exactly the same, but there are also many traces of human technology in your body."

Did your trainer rescue you?

“kia”

The Knight Snail discovered that it could move around a little again.

First he shook his head, then he nodded.

"Is that so? You've really met a nice human."

Mewtwo sighed in this way.

The more Tetsuya listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

This Mewtwo is definitely not the Mewtwo that he remembered being controlled by Team Rocket.

The two sides have completely different attitudes toward humans, elves, and even the world.

"You seem very confused?"

Sensing the intense emotional fluctuations, Mewtwo raised its head. "You seem to think I shouldn't be like this?"

"Yes."

Zhe didn't deny it, because denying it wouldn't have made a difference.

"I've suddenly become a little curious about you."

Tetsuya wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Mewtwo seemed to be laughing, "This is the first time I've ever seen a human like you."

It threw Gallade and Blaziken back into their respective Poké Balls.

Only Knight Snail and Tetsuya remained.

"Many humans have appeared here in the past, some stronger than you, and some weaker than you."

But when they saw me, their first reaction wasn't fear, but joy.

It was as if they were all very confident in winning me over.

That's what you humans say, right?

After all, I am an elf that has never appeared before, so my rarity should be very high.

And you.

I'm certain no one told you I existed, yet the moment you saw me, you were filled with fear.

Mewtwo, who is 2 meters tall, came to Tetsuya's side.

His eyes, indistinguishable from a human's, were fixed intently on the latter: "Excuse me, why is that?"

How can you be so sure no one told me?
