Chapter 259: Guardian of the Water Metropolis (5)
Giovanni said calmly, "Mewtwo, use Aura Sphere to finish them off."
After their journey in Kalos, a significant bond had formed between Mewtwo No. 2 and Giovanni.
Mewtwo No. 2 understood Giovanni's intention instantly; it conjured a massive Aura Sphere and hurled it right between Heatran and Lugia.
With a loud 'Boom', a large crater was blasted right between Gary's two Pokémon.
Just like that, Gary's tactics were disrupted. The defense from Lava Plume was gone, and Mewtwo No. 2 teleported behind Heatran, knocking it out with two quick blows.
Lugia, after taking a Shadow Ball, also collapsed, unconscious.
"Not bad, Gary, you managed to hold out for so many rounds."
At this moment, Ash slowly descended from the sky.
Gary's eye twitched twice, and he asked, "Heh, Ash, you bastard, have you been here the whole time?"
"Not exactly the whole time, but we were watching ever since you started tracking Giovanni and the others," Ash explained thoughtfully.
"..." Gary was speechless.
Is this guy really a childhood friend from the same town?
Is it appropriate to watch others get humiliated on purpose?
Giovanni interrupted their conversation and shouted, "Kid, you've finally shown up. Let's have a battle!"
"I'm down for a battle, but the intensity of the fight between Mewtwo and the others is too high. Let's go to a nearby deserted island to fight," Ash said.
"Lead the way!"
Under Ash's guidance, they soon arrived at a deserted island dozens of nautical miles away from Alto Mare.
Gary, unwilling to give up, rode on Skarmory and followed them to watch.
"Mewtwo, let this kid see the power you've mastered!" Giovanni shouted impatiently.
Mewtwo No. 2 did not hesitate; it immediately completed Mega Evolution, entering its Mega Mewtwo X form.
"What the hell! Mewtwo can enter Mega Evolution on its own?"
Seeing Mewtwo No. 2 complete Mega Evolution without any bond or super evolution stone, Gary was instantly dumbfounded.
Seeing Mega Mewtwo X, Ash smiled and said, "Interesting. Mewtwo, respond to our bond. Mewtwo, MEGA Evolution!"
As Mewtwo was covered in the light of evolution, the muscles on its arms and legs suddenly bulged, and its physique gradually became more robust.
Yes, that's right, the Mega Evolution form Ash had Mewtwo take was also X.
Two almost identical-looking Mega Mewtwo X stood facing each other.
Giovanni snorted coldly, "Damn kid! Mewtwo, use Psycho Cut and teach it a lesson!"
Ash smiled, "Mewtwo, let's use Psycho Cut too!"
The two Mewtwos both wielded their Psycho Cut blades and slashed at each other.
However, Ash's Mewtwo clearly had the upper hand in close-quarters combat; after all, Ash had personally taught Mewtwo how to fight hand-to-hand.
So, after only a few strikes, Mewtwo No. 2 was at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Mewtwo No. 2 couldn't hold on, Giovanni shouted, "Mewtwo, use Brick Break."
Mewtwo No. 2 raised its Psycho Cut blade and struck down at Mewtwo.
"Mewtwo, use Drain Punch."
Mewtwo braced its hands above its head, took the Brick Break head-on, and then returned the absorbed power with a fist to Mewtwo No. 2's face.
With one punch, Mewtwo No. 2 was sent flying back several meters.
After steadying itself, Mewtwo No. 2 looked at Mewtwo with an even more ferocious gaze.
Its fists erupted with flames as it teleported in front of Mewtwo and threw a punch.
Fire Punch.
Facing this attack, Mewtwo did not panic; it also countered with a fist imbued with frost.
The two Pokémon engaged in close-quarters combat, trading punches and kicks.
Moves like the elemental punches, Brick Break, and Drain Punch were used without needing commands from Trainers Ash or Giovanni; Mewtwo and the other Mewtwo judged the timing themselves.
For a while, the two Pokémon were locked in an evenly matched fight.
Of course, Ash's Mewtwo naturally had the upper hand, while Mewtwo No. 2 often had to take two or three punches for every one it landed.
This result made Giovanni start to question reality; he had taken Mewtwo to Kalos and fought so many arena matches just to master the power of Mega Mewtwo X.
How could this kid's Mewtwo, which didn't seem to have used this power much, be on par with them? This didn't make sense!
Just as Ash and Giovanni were locked in a fierce battle.
Night had fallen over Alto Mare.
Annie and Oakley also began their operation to steal the Soul Dew.
The Team Rocket Trio trailed far behind the two.
However, their professional standards were only slightly better than average thieves, and compared to the world's number one thief sisters, they were far behind.
They hadn't followed for long before they all tripped and landed on a streetlamp.
But the streetlamp could only support the weight of the three of them. After Wobbuffet hopped out of its Poké Ball on its own, the streetlamp snapped.
"Damn it, Wobbuffet, why did you come out!"
"We're blasting off again!"
At this time, the thief sisters had already arrived at Lorenzo's house.
After using Espeon to knock Lorenzo out, they entered the central garden through a secret passage.
As the two entered, the security devices in the central garden automatically activated.
Latios, who was resting on a tree branch, was startled awake.
Oakley looked at the garden's scenery and exclaimed, "This place is really nice! I might as well set up my villa here!"
"Woo~"
At this moment, Latios and Latias flew over from not far away, intending to drive the two away.
"It seems the ones living here don't want to move out yet."
"Then let's just keep them as our pets!"
The sisters appeared calm and composed in the face of Latios and Latias's attacks.
Seeing that their normal attacks were ineffective, the red and blue jets vanished and launched an attack.
But the sisters were well-prepared; after putting on special glasses, the red and blue jets' movements could not be hidden at all.
"Espeon, Swift!" Annie shouted, pointing in a certain direction.
Espeon's Swift swept out and hit the unsuspecting Latias.
Seeing this, Latios hurriedly used Tackle to interrupt Espeon's offensive.
Oakley said, "Ariados, Night Shade!"
Ariados's horn fired a black beam that struck Latias. Latios, being the protective brother he was, hurriedly rushed forward to block it.
Seeing Latios reveal its form, Oakley took out a special device and threw it at Latios.
Upon touching Latios, the device released a large, transparent red net, trapping Latios. The net also came with an electric shock effect.
Latios was shocked until it lost its ability to resist and fell onto the grass.
Latias panicked and turned back, wanting to save Latios.
"Espeon, use Psybeam!"
The Psybeam hit accurately, and Latias was also knocked down.
Just as the sisters were planning to deliver the finishing blow, Latios, dragging its injured body, blocked the damage for Latias.
Finally, amidst Latios's cries, Latias left along the waterway to seek help from Ash and the others.
After obtaining the Soul Dew, the sisters set their sights on controlling Latios to take over the entire city.
Dragging Latios with them, they arrived at the Grand Shrine of Alto Mare.
After the device was activated, Oakley operated the machine to borrow Latios's power, manifesting an Aerodactyl and a Kabutops.
