Terrance wanted to calm Mewtwo down by interfering via outside force, but doing so might also trigger an even greater conflict. What Terrance relied on now were the two conditions Mewtwo had promised him, as well as his own understanding of Mewtwo.
Mewtwo's obsession lay in two points: the relationship between the original and the clone, and the relationship between humans and Pokémon.
In the original story, it was Ash who intervened in the battle by risking his life, and it was only at the cost of his own 'death' that Mewtwo finally calmed down.
But that method was far too dangerous. Compared to that, Terrance believed there had to be a better solution. Mewtwo was not unreasonable; on the contrary, its intelligence was extremely high. It was only because it had been deceived by Team Rocket at the very beginning that it had become so distrustful of humans.
Untangling its obsession was the key to resolving Mewtwo's distrust.
"Mewtwo, Mew, stop fighting! Otherwise the entire New Island will be sunk!"
Terrance raised his voice to stop them, but the effect was negligible. Mewtwo had no intention of stopping, and naturally, Mew, facing Mewtwo's fierce onslaught, could not stop either.
Seeing the battle about to escalate, Terrance threw out Altaria's Poké Ball. A dazzling light burst forth, like a laser piercing between Mew and Mewtwo. The aggressive beam forced them to halt and turn their gaze toward Terrance.
"Mewtwo, this battle has no meaning. You are Mewtwo, and it is Mew. Although you share countless ties, you are already two separate individuals."
"Also, in this world there is only one Mewtwo. You are the one and only, not some copy of Mew."
Standing beside Altaria, Terrance spoke to Mewtwo, who was now looking his way.
But in the face of Terrance's persuasion, Mewtwo's reaction was indifferent, or rather, from the very beginning, it had never regarded Terrance as a being worthy of conversing on the same level.
Although Terrance spoke the very thoughts within Mewtwo's mind, Mewtwo still chose to ignore him.
A Shadow Ball shot out from Mewtwo, wreathed in psychic energy arcs, showcasing the sheer destructive power of the move.
Arrogant…
Seeing Mewtwo treat him like an ant, Terrance felt helpless but also couldn't help but feel a little angry.
These Pokémon were all so stubborn, just like the Giant Tentacruel in Acapulco City. If one didn't show a power that they respected or feared, they would never listen to some "ant" give sermons.
At that moment, Terrance's expression changed as he made up his mind. Mewtwo was indeed strong, but not so strong that Terrance needed to bow and scrape before it.
Sensing Terrance's resolve, Altaria let out a soft cry, its entire body radiating a brilliant glow that instantly eclipsed the light emanating from Mewtwo and Mew. As an immense amount of life energy surged through it, Altaria's ascension to a higher life level was marked by the unlocking of its genetic seal!
Without relying on its Trainer, merely by mobilizing its own life energy, Altaria completed Mega Evolution!!
Not only did this save a great deal of time, but it also allowed Altaria to master the power granted by Mega Evolution with greater perfection. Facing the Shadow Ball wreathed in blue psychic arcs, Altaria, immediately upon completing its Mega Evolution, unleashed a cry infused with Fairy energy. This cry transformed into sound waves of Erase that, with overwhelming dominance, erased the very structure of the Shadow Ball, reducing the powerful move to nothingness!
"So strong…"
Ash and his companions stared in shock at Altaria, who had transformed in an instant as though it had evolved. They could feel an immense aura surging toward them, no less oppressive than what Mewtwo had unleashed!
Mega Altaria did not conceal its strength. Whether in sheer might or in the display of its life level, it released everything in a sudden eruption.
As Fairy Aura gathered, the entire castle was transformed into a fairy domain, with Altaria becoming the absolute overlord within it. Endless Fairy energy swirled around Altaria's body. After its battle with Diantha's ace, Gardevoir, Altaria's strength had once again grown significantly!
However, although Altaria's power shocked Mewtwo, it would not be intimidated because of it.
"Human, if you stop me again, I will kill you."
The telepathy carried a chilling intent to kill. Mewtwo's psychic power instantly erupted, its enormous psychic energy transforming into Psycho Cuts that poured down like torrential rain. Facing the assault, Terrance did not even furrow his brow; he simply ordered Mega Altaria to counterattack.
"Mewtwo, your strength is indeed great, but there is always sky beyond the sky."
"I may not be your match, but I am not as weak as you imagine."
As Terrance finished speaking, Mega Altaria unleashed power rivaling Mewtwo's own. Drawing upon the Fairy energy within its Fairy Aura, Altaria erupted with boundless fairy-like radiance. Its Dazzling Gleam transformed into a defensive technique, shattering the incoming Psycho Cut as though they were nothing more than dried leaves.
At this moment, the castle erupted with even more powerful undulations than the clash between Mew and Mewtwo. The entire structure began to tremble and crumble, as powerful shockwaves blasted outward in all directions. The surrounding Trainers and Pokémon were hurled off their feet by the ferocious gales generated by the shockwaves, unable to stand their ground!
Beautifly, Castform, and Arcanine all emerged from Terrance's Poké Balls at that moment. Alongside Mismagius, Gallade, Ralts, and Altaria, seven Pokémon now stood at Terrance's side, giving him the confidence not to fear Mewtwo.
"Come then, kill me!"
Terrance spoke coldly, though inwardly he remained calm. With Beautifly and Castform working in unison, the air currents around him became completely stable, preventing any interference with his commands or his safety. At the same time, Mega Altaria suddenly soared into the sky!
A vast concentration of Fairy energy gathered, pooling within Altaria's body as it charged up Giga Impact.
Moreover, under the control of Beautifly and Castform, endless air currents furiously converged, causing the weather to change abruptly into a raging gale. Strangely, the gales gathered around Altaria without causing it any disturbance; instead, they enhanced Altaria as if it had used the move "Tailwind," granting it an unimaginable boost in speed.
Although not fully effective, the combined efforts of Beautifly and Castform in altering the air currents were enough to grant Altaria a current of wind providing roughly seventy percent of the amplification effect of a Wind Domain. With its powerful body, it could completely harness these raging air currents and turn them into its own power.
Propelled by Tailwind move, Altaria harnessed immense thrust, further amplified by the dual enhancements of Pixilate and Fairy Aura, causing its Fairy-type Giga Impact to attain terrifying destructive power, far surpassing the force generated by the collision between Mewtwo and Mew.
"Vulpix"
As Altaria transformed into a radiant beam of light and charged at Mewtwo, Mismagius cast the incantation for Hypnosis, directing a psychic suggestion at Altaria, whose huge body was bearing a tremendous burden. This soothed and eliminated the burden on its body caused by unleashing such a series of powerful trump cards, further elevating the move's execution to an even higher level of perfection.
Whoooosh!!
Fairy light and raging gales fused together as Altaria became a blazing meteor, unleashing a ferocious assault, as if determined to leave an indelible impression on Mewtwo.
"Everyone, get out of here!!"
As Terrance and Altaria revealed their full might, Brock's face paled. Supporting Nurse Joy, he hurriedly shouted to Ash and the others to retreat.
Mewtwo, facing this terrifying strike infused with so many powers, wore a grave expression. Yet moments later, it let out a disdainful scoff to assert its dominance. Its overwhelming psychic power condensed, solidifying into a transparent-looking shield. Raising the shield with one hand, Mewtwo prepared to block Altaria's attack head-on.
"Still so arrogant."
As Terrance's words fell, the sound of shattering rang out. In an instant, Mewtwo's psychic power-shield was crushed, and Altaria continued its unstoppable charge, blasting straight toward Mewtwo!
This attack, fused with Wind Domain, Pixilate, and Fairy Aura, pierced through Mewtwo's psychic power-shield like a light of destruction, revealing a glimpse of Terrance's true strength to this legendary-level Mewtwo.
