T/N: I have noticed that there aren't that many reviews about this book. So if you really like this please leave a review.
"Moltres actually lost..."
Sabrina stood on the beach of Cinnabar Island, watching Moltres fall into the sea with an expression of complete disbelief.
Although the moment she'd seen Mewtwo appear and felt its terrifying Psychic power, Sabrina had already understood something deep down.
Moltres, whose strength was currently suppressed, couldn't defeat Mewtwo, even though Mewtwo had just awakened and couldn't use its full strength yet either.
Yes, the moment she'd seen Mewtwo, Sabrina, as a Psychic herself, had actually sensed this outcome.
However, she'd still wanted to try, attempting to battle Mewtwo even while using a Fire-type Legendary Pokémon she was completely unfamiliar with.
But when Moltres was truly defeated, Sabrina still looked utterly shocked.
"Sabrina, I won this battle!"
Like Sabrina, Eddie had used his Psychic abilities combined with Gardevoir's power to instantly teleport to this location the moment Mewtwo and Moltres clashed with their ultimate attacks.
Of course, he could see Sabrina's shocked expression, so he walked up to her and declared his victory in a commanding manner.
Sabrina looked at Eddie, who appeared understated yet utterly dominating at this moment, and suddenly thought to herself that this guy had this side to him too.
You see, Sabrina and Eddie had only met three times, including this encounter.
But during the previous two meetings, Eddie had always given Sabrina the impression of being playful and mischievous—someone who enjoyed provoking her emotions.
Even when battling, he would become more serious, but after winning he'd return to his original demeanor. Plus, she'd been Eddie's teammate before.
Therefore, Sabrina had never witnessed what kind of attitude Eddie would display toward her when they were enemies.
And now, Sabrina finally saw Eddie's genuine confidence and dominating presence.
Seeing Eddie looking down at her like this, Sabrina suddenly felt an urge to submit.
"Submit!? I'm one of the top three executives of Team Rocket! What am I even thinking!?"
Sabrina reacted immediately the moment she felt that impulse to surrender and instantly dismissed the thought as some kind of illusion.
However, this seed had already been planted in her subconscious, deep within her heart.
Although this seed seemed to have no effect now, if Eddie completely defeated Sabrina at the right moment, this seed would probably take root and sprout immediately.
"Hmph! Eddie, you win this time. As the loser, I'll leave the battlefield obediently!"
"Our Team Rocket is about to begin our main operation, so you'd better be careful. I'll be waiting for you in Saffron City!"
After Sabrina shook off those confusing thoughts, she finally returned to her usual composed state.
After recalling Moltres into its Poké Ball, she worked together with her Alakazam, channeled her Psychic power, and after delivering those parting words, she teleported away.
"Even when leaving threatening words, she tells me to be careful. Is this really Sabrina?"
After seeing Sabrina disappear, Eddie raised his eyebrows in confusion.
But since Sabrina was gone, naturally there was no one to answer his question.
It wasn't that Eddie was oblivious or anything—it was just that Eddie knew Sabrina had the temperament of an ice-cold queen, and he didn't think she should be the type of person to show concern.
Eddie didn't realize that he had inadvertently stirred Sabrina's inner emotions, gradually causing Sabrina, who had always lived like an emotionless puppet, to "come alive." That was why Sabrina paid special attention to him—the man who had awakened her feelings.
Of course, he could more or less sense that Sabrina treated him slightly differently from others, but the impression of her as an ice queen had always influenced his perception of her, and he simply didn't fully understand it at this moment.
"Ding! You have completed the long-term hidden mission 'Crush Team Rocket's Mewtwo Plan'! Received mission reward: Power of Aura!"
Power of Aura:
Everything possesses Aura. Sense the Aura and energy of other living beings.
Use Aura to attack with Aura Sphere and create Barriers for defense.
Passive effect: slowly increases the user's physical fitness and greatly improves defensive capabilities.
"The final reward for the long-term hidden mission is actually the Power of Aura!"
"Not only does this ability allow me to use Aura Sphere and create Barriers, but it also lets me strengthen my body and improve my physical defense!?"
"Now that I have Psychic powers, I can resist mental attacks. With the Power of Aura, I can even withstand attacks from Pokémon with my physical body! I wouldn't even fear bullets in the real world!"
"The biggest weakness of being a Trainer is that I'm still human. My body is very fragile and I can be controlled by Psychic-type Pokémon or attacked by other Pokémon. But now, with the powers of Psychic, Viridian, and Aura, I don't need to fear any of that anymore!"
Eddie's grin was ear to ear at this point. He hadn't expected that by coming to Cinnabar Island, he would not only obtain Mewtwo but also receive a copy of Mewtwo's Psychic abilities. And at the moment of completing the mission, he'd even gained the Power of Aura for body enhancement.
This was like striking gold. It was an enormous profit!
"Let's try it out now that I have it. I'll release Lucario first and have it teach me how to use this power."
At this moment, Eddie couldn't wait any longer and directly released Lucario, who also possessed the Power of Aura, wanting to ask it how to use this ability.
"Luca?"
"Eddie, you can now use the Power of Aura!"
As soon as Lucario appeared, before it could even ask Eddie what was happening, it discovered that something was different about Eddie.
Although everything possesses Aura, there are distinct differences between Pokémon and humans in terms of whether they can actively use the Power of Aura.
For humans or Pokémon who cannot use the Power of Aura, the Aura surrounding their bodies remains in an inactive state. However, for humans or Pokémon who can use the Power of Aura, the Aura surrounding their bodies becomes extremely active, as if it could be activated at any moment.
Now both Eddie and Lucario could see the extremely active Aura power radiating from each other, and Lucario immediately understood that Eddie could already use the Power of Aura.
"Yes, come on, Lucario. Teach me how to use it properly."
Eddie smiled and didn't bother explaining where the power had come from. Seeing this, Lucario didn't press the issue and immediately began teaching Eddie how to utilize the Power of Aura.
"You start by gathering your energy into a wave, then focus your concentration and use your mind's eye to perceive the differences in this world. This is the fundamental method of using the Power of Aura."
Eddie channeled his energy and focused his concentration according to Lucario's instructions.
In the next second, Eddie felt a warm current flowing throughout his entire body.
Then, he saw a completely different world through his eyes.
