Eddie and Sabrina were intimate for a while, then whispered sweet words to each other.
However, in the current situation, there wasn't much time for such tenderness.
What's more, Eddie had already used his Psychic abilities to sense that Ash and the others were heading in this direction.
They seemed to have been blown quite far away before. In order to prevent them from returning quickly, Sabrina had deliberately injured their Flying-type Pokémon, which was why they were so slow to return.
However, since they were already approaching, Eddie and Sabrina would have to separate soon.
"When will we meet next time?"
"Probably at the Indigo Conference. For a major event like that, the Alliance will ask you Gym Leaders to attend and watch together."
"The Indigo Conference? That's quite a long time... Well, I suppose I'll still be under investigation during this period, and you also need to train yourself for the Indigo Conference. We can only meet then."
"I'm glad you understand, Sabrina."
"Alright then. See you next time, Eddie."
Sabrina gently kissed Eddie's lips once more as a farewell, then took out her Poké Ball and released Alakazam.
As usual, she and Alakazam used Psychic together. After a flash of light, they vanished.
"Screee~~~~" ×3
Sabrina had just left when the three legendary birds seemed to feel it wasn't appropriate to stay here any longer. They cried out to Eddie to express their gratitude and farewell, then spread their wings and flew away into the sky.
"I hope these three legendary birds won't get caught again."
"Come to think of it, they were caught collectively in the manga, and it seems they were captured in the movie as well. I don't know what to say about these three."
Eddie briefly recalled and found that these three legendary Pokémon were quite unfortunate and, in a sense, rather pitiful.
"Mew~~~ Mew~~~"
Mew saw Eddie lost in thought, so it floated around in front of him, trying to attract his attention.
"I haven't forgotten about you. Oh, I haven't thanked you yet either. If it weren't for you, I would have died here."
Although in the previous situation, there were many Pokémon protecting him besides Mew, if Mew hadn't intervened against Giovanni in the first moment, Eddie wouldn't have survived long enough for the other legendary Pokémon to arrive. Giovanni would have easily eliminated him while he was unconscious.
Furthermore, among all the legendary Pokémon that had appeared, Mew in perfect condition was obviously the most threatening to Giovanni. Although Giovanni had calculated that he could use two Pokémon to contain Mew, that was just an estimate. If a real battle had broken out, Giovanni couldn't judge how powerful Mew would truly be.
"Mew mew~~~"
Upon hearing this, Mew seemed to say "you're welcome," then floated over to Eddie and patted him on the shoulder, as if giving encouragement or saying goodbye. Then, with a gust of psychic wind, Mew turned into a pink flash and departed.
[I want to battle Mew.]
Since seeing Mew, Mewtwo hadn't spoken a single word. It wasn't until Mew left that Mewtwo expressed to Eddie its desire to fight with Mew.
It seemed that even Mewtwo knew it wasn't appropriate to say such provocative words in that situation. After all, Mew was one of their allies and had protected Eddie. Whatever Mewtwo was thinking, it wouldn't reveal such thoughts at that time.
"Want to battle Mew? Of course. Once you have full control over your power, it won't be too difficult to defeat Mew, because your very existence and your name were both given to surpass Mew."
Eddie naturally knew the relationship between Mewtwo and Mew. The former was cloned using the genes of the latter, with the genes of almost all Pokémon added into it. What was born was a creature specifically designed for combat—a highly combat-capable artificial legendary Pokémon specialized in battle, named Mewtwo, which means "beyond Mew."
Although Mew has existed much longer than Mewtwo, it would be ridiculous if someone claimed that a Pokémon's combat power was linked to its age.
Although Mew is a legendary Pokémon, and one that has existed for a long time, it isn't a combat-oriented species. Even though it possesses the genes of all Pokémon and the ability to transform into any Pokémon, this can't change the fact that it isn't particularly skilled at fighting.
One is specialized in combat, the other isn't skilled at fighting. Mewtwo, who possesses Mew's genes, isn't much different in base strength from Mew. Is there any need to say who would win?
[Alright. Next time we meet, I will battle it to prove the meaning of my name.]
Mewtwo smiled, looking very eager to fight, as if already anticipating the battle with Mew.
[By the way, your companions are here. I'll return to the Master Ball first.]
After glancing in a certain direction, Mewtwo voluntarily returned to its Master Ball.
"Gary, what was that Pokémon with the pink flash? It looked familiar to me."
"Ash, I think you got hit on the head. Have you forgotten what happened when we first met?"
"First meeting?... You mean that mysterious Pokémon?!"
"Oh! That was Mew. As the owner of the Pokédex, you don't even know about Mew. How embarrassing."
"..." ×2
Just as Mew left, Ash and the others rushed over and caught a glimpse of Mew's departure.
Ash had a poor memory, Gary remembered but seemed unclear about Mew, and Blue had seen Mew's true form with Eddie, so it was natural for her to mock both Ash and Gary now.
"Alright, you two, don't just stand there. Don't worry about Mew right now. Go find your friend. Hurry up!"
No matter how much she teased them, Blue was still worried about Eddie, so she immediately urged the two of them to continue searching.
However, they didn't need to search any further. After taking a few more steps forward, they spotted Eddie's group of Pokémon.
"Found him! Look, those are Eddie's Pokémon."
Seeing this, Blue ran over first, and Ash and Gary followed.
Then they saw Eddie, who was being guarded by his group of Pokémon and leaning against them for support.
The four of them looked at each other. Ash was covered in blood and could barely stand steadily. Gary was also injured. Blue was in the best condition, but seeing that she didn't even have the strength to run over, she clearly wasn't much better off either.
The one who had suffered the most was naturally Eddie. After using his ultimate technique three times in succession, he was now completely unable to move. He had to rely on his Pokémon to keep himself from falling.
Although everyone was exhausted and covered in wounds, all four of them smiled.
The reason was simple.
They had won.
Moreover, they had all survived.
