"Eddie! So Mewtwo is your final trump card!?"
Sabrina spoke through gritted teeth, which was rare for her. It was obvious that Eddie's acquisition of Mewtwo was completely beyond her expectations.
Moreover, now that Eddie had obtained a Pokémon comparable to a Legendary Pokémon, he would definitely have more confidence to oppose Team Rocket. It would be extremely troublesome for Team Rocket to face such a powerful Pokémon.
No, it should be said that Team Rocket was in serious trouble now.
"Well, Sabrina, although your expressions today have been quite entertaining and a real treat to watch, let's not waste time with meaningless words anymore."
"What we should do now is have a battle between Legendary Pokémon!!"
As Eddie finished speaking, an extremely battle-hungry smile appeared on his face.
For a battle between Legendary Pokémon like this, even spectators would be thrilled—let alone the actual participants!
Eddie's inner desire to battle could no longer be suppressed!
"...!"
Seeing Eddie's undisguised fighting spirit, Sabrina was momentarily speechless. It was the first time she'd seen Eddie so eager for combat.
However, before she could process this, Eddie couldn't wait to launch his attack!
"Mewtwo! Use Psystrike!"
[Understood!]
A Psychic wave even stronger than before appeared around Mewtwo, and it even affected Sabrina directly, continuously assaulting her mentally.
"Ugh! This is Mewtwo's Psychic power! It's overwhelming!"
"Moltres! Use Heat Wave!"
Sabrina felt like her brain was about to burst from Mewtwo's Psychic waves, but fortunately she was a Psychic herself and could resist it. She then ordered Moltres to counterattack.
Moltres let out a deafening cry and flapped its wings, creating a scorching heat wave that swept across all of Cinnabar Island, clashing directly against Mewtwo's Psystrike.
Mewtwo was a Psychic-type Pokémon, and Moltres was a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon. This was Cinnabar Island, famous for its numerous volcanoes and high temperatures, so Moltres should have had the environmental advantage.
However, in this confrontation, Moltres lost. The dark purple Psychic energy directly broke through the heat wave, and then the Psychic force seemed to transform into a sharp blade and slashed directly at Moltres!
"Moltres! Use Protect!!!"
Sabrina didn't know what else to say now. She was gaining a deep understanding of just how terrifying Mewtwo was, but she hadn't given up yet.
At this critical moment, Moltres used Protect and narrowly blocked the attack.
"Mewtwo, use Psychic Terrain, Calm Mind, and Nasty Plot!"
However, Eddie didn't stop his offensive. While Moltres was defending against the attack, Eddie chose to have Mewtwo set up multiple stat boosts and issued these three commands in rapid succession.
Psychic Terrain created a mental field to increase the power of Psychic-type moves, Calm Mind raised Special Attack and Special Defense, and Nasty Plot drastically increased Special Attack.
With the combination of these three powerful stat boosts, even an ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon could deal devastating damage—and Mewtwo would only become even more terrifying.
At this moment, the range of Mewtwo's Psychic waves had exceeded that of Moltres, despite the latter's home field advantage. Originally, all of Cinnabar Island had been covered by Moltres's fiery aura, but now everything had turned into dark purple Psychic waves.
"Hahahaha! Sabrina! You'd better flee while you still can!"
"Mewtwo! Deliver a devastating blow to Moltres!! Use Future Sight!!!"
[!!!]
Mewtwo felt the tremendous increase in power from the amplification of the three stat-boosting moves and couldn't help but roar in exhilaration, then locked onto the area surrounding Moltres.
A move like Future Sight couldn't be activated immediately even by Mewtwo, who possessed the power of a Legendary Pokémon, because this move was continuously enhanced by accumulating energy over time. However, Mewtwo could choose to activate it faster than other Pokémon, thus shortening the delay.
Of course, shortening the time also meant the power would be somewhat reduced, but in the eyes of Mewtwo, who currently had triple stat boosts, this reduction in power made no difference whatsoever!
"...!"
"Moltres! Use Burn Up!"
Sabrina naturally understood how terrifying a Psychic-type Pokémon would become after these three stat-boosting moves, so she made a quick decision and had Moltres use Burn Up again.
However, she immediately released her Alakazam and used her own Psychic abilities combined with Alakazam's power to execute Teleport and instantly move away from the area.
After all, when two powerful moves from Legendary Pokémon collided, the aftermath would probably affect all of Cinnabar Island, and standing this close, she couldn't guarantee her own safety.
Of course, she wasn't the only one with this idea. Eddie also released his Gardevoir and used the Psychic abilities he'd just acquired, combining them with Gardevoir's power to use Teleport and leave the battlefield.
"BOOM!!!!"
The very next second after both Sabrina and Eddie simultaneously left the area, the Legendary Pokémon's devastating attacks collided, and an explosion instantly echoed throughout the entire island.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
An earth-shattering explosion erupted.
The ground's surface was torn apart.
Black smoke billowed upward.
The dark purple Psychic light collided violently with the crimson flame light.
Not only could the people living on Cinnabar Island see it clearly, but the residents of Pallet Town and Viridian City could also vaguely see the two terrifying energies battling against each other.
"Is this a battle between Legendary Pokémon?! This kind of overwhelming power would affect anyone who gets too close! No wonder Team Rocket planned to capture the Legendary Birds to dominate the Kanto Region!"
Blaine could be considered the closest person to the battle aside from Eddie and Sabrina, and even he was extremely uncomfortable.
Even though his Arcanine stood in front of him to block the aftermath of the shockwave, he felt that both he and Arcanine might be blown away at any moment.
But he didn't want to leave. He wanted to witness whether Mewtwo—Team Rocket's greatest achievement, created and named to "Surpass Mew"—could truly battle against an actual Legendary Pokémon.
Although Mewtwo had just awakened and might not be able to fully unleash its strongest power yet, conversely, Moltres was currently being controlled by Sabrina and its power had also been weakened.
The two were roughly equal in their current states and could still be fairly compared.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Almost everyone who witnessed the two beams of light wanted to know which side would emerge victorious.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
As the explosions gradually faded, they finally saw the result.
The purple Psychic light overwhelmed the red flame light, and then the loud, agonized cry of Moltres rang out as its massive body was shot down into the sea.
"Ding! Congratulations, player 'Eddie' has defeated the Legendary Pokémon Moltres. Due to the unique nature of Legendary Pokémon, defeating them will not grant experience points, but will instead result in a world announcement and special rewards!"
"Ding! World Announcement! Congratulations to player 'Eddie' from the Kanto Region for becoming the first player in the game to defeat a Legendary Pokémon!!! Let us commemorate that player 'Eddie' has become a top-tier player in the game!!!"
"Ding! World Announcement! Congratulations, player 'Eddie' has received system rewards! All of player 'Eddie's' Pokémon have had their potential upgraded by one tier! All Pokémon have gained +5 levels! Additionally, received one Master Ball!"
At this moment, the entire game world erupted in excitement.
