"A Poké Ball for Mewtwo? Of course I have one prepared."
"Both Team Rocket and I agreed that a Legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo must be captured with a Master Ball to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring."
"When I discovered that Mewtwo had genetic defects, I became firmly convinced that Mewtwo absolutely had to be captured with a Master Ball filled with gene adjustment fluid."
Blaine adjusted his sunglasses and spoke with a serious tone.
However, he didn't know that Eddie had already healed Mewtwo's genetic defects, and now they simply had to wait for Mewtwo to slowly gain complete control over its own power.
Still, Eddie didn't plan to inform Blaine about this development. The gene adjustment fluid was necessary regardless.
"Eddie, take this. This is the Master Ball I retrieved from Team Rocket."
Blaine searched through his laboratory and produced a Master Ball with a translucent purple upper hemisphere and a pure white lower hemisphere bearing the letter "M" on its surface. After injecting gene adjustment fluid into it, he handed it to Eddie.
"Mewtwo, you just fought an intense battle. Go back inside and rest for now."
Eddie held the Master Ball and spoke to Mewtwo beside him. The latter nodded, took the initiative to press the central button of the Master Ball with its hand, and obediently entered the device.
"Mewtwo has awakened, and under your guidance, Eddie, it won't develop a violent temperament due to genetic defects and then cause destruction everywhere."
The matter of Mewtwo had always been something that weighed heavily on Blaine's mind. He had previously wanted to use his own cells to fuse with Mewtwo and then suppress its power himself.
But he was old now, while Eddie was young and capable, and could even maintain a harmonious relationship with Mewtwo. Therefore, Blaine had decided to entrust Mewtwo to Eddie's care with complete confidence.
"However, Team Rocket has also captured the three Legendary birds now. I believe they'll begin taking action very soon. Eddie, you must be prepared for a major battle against Team Rocket."
"But I still need to say this to you personally: if the situation becomes impossible, you should preserve your own life and leave the battlefield. If you die in this conflict, then no one will be able to stop Team Rocket in the future."
Blaine's expression was extremely grave when he said this. Now that Eddie possessed Mewtwo, although he couldn't claim with absolute certainty that Eddie could defeat Team Rocket, he could at least survive.
It wouldn't matter if the Kanto Region fell temporarily. As long as Eddie and Ash's group—who formed the main fighting force—remained safe, they could still reclaim the Kanto Region eventually.
But if Eddie and Ash were to fall in battle, the probability of retaking the Kanto Region would decrease dramatically.
Of course, if someone became enraged by Eddie and his team's deaths in battle and returned to destroy Team Rocket themselves, that would be an entirely different matter.
However, in that scenario, Eddie and the others would still have died in combat, which was something no one could accept.
"...Thank you for your concern, Blaine, but don't worry. I have my own plans."
Eddie naturally understood the dangers of fighting Team Rocket, which was why he kept pushing forward to make himself stronger.
But now, he no longer feared Team Rocket—even when facing Giovanni... Well, he still needed to be cautious when confronting Giovanni directly.
"Good, as long as you understand. Although Team Rocket will begin taking action soon, there's still some time remaining."
"Next, I'll seek out some powerful trainers I know and recruit them for the battle. The enemy has Legendary Pokémon on their side. Although these old bones of mine can't fight the three executives personally, I can still help eliminate Team Rocket's foot soldiers. After all, Team Rocket does have overwhelming numbers."
"Eddie, what are you planning to do next?"
Blaine observed Eddie, who seemed to have everything under control, and understood that the latter had already considered various possibilities, so he naturally didn't press the matter further.
However, after finishing his explanation about his own plans, he asked Eddie what he intended to do next. After all, there was still some time before the war began.
"Hmm, I do have several things I need to take care of, and I'll need your help with two of them."
"Oh? You need my assistance? Eddie, tell me what it is."
"First, I need you to restore this piece of mysterious amber. Brock gave it to me and asked me to bring it to you."
Eddie retrieved the mysterious amber he had received quite some time ago and handed it to Blaine.
It hadn't been easy. To deliver this item to Blaine, Eddie had gone through quite an extensive journey.
There hadn't been much time during his previous visit to the Rainbow City base, and the necessary equipment likely wasn't available there anyway, so Eddie was only taking it out now.
"Oh? Mysterious amber? Brock gave this to you? Let me examine it first. Not every piece of mysterious amber can be successfully restored. Although the chance is quite small, there are indeed some cases where the Pokémon inside the mysterious amber has already perished."
Blaine immediately became interested upon seeing the mysterious amber. The fossil revival technology had been invented by him and a colleague. He was an authority in this field, and it represented his greatest achievement, so he naturally grew excited.
However, even he had encountered very few fossils and had personally revived very few ancient Pokémon himself.
After all, fossils were extremely rare items in the Pokémon world.
And now, Blaine had the opportunity to revive an ancient fossil Pokémon with his own hands. As a Pokémon researcher, he was beginning to feel genuinely excited.
Holding Eddie's mysterious amber, Blaine walked over to a nearby machine and began examining it, as if testing whether the Pokémon inside the mysterious amber still retained signs of life.
"No problem! The Pokémon within this mysterious amber still shows vital signs, but since this is mysterious amber, it's typically an Aerodactyl."
Blaine quickly placed the fossil in front of a machine that resembled an X-ray scanner.
As a beam of light swept across the screen, something resembling an embryo appeared on the computer monitor.
The computer then began calculating automatically, and the embryo transformed into a mature form after the calculations completed.
"As expected, it's an Aerodactyl. It seems that the fossil Pokémon found in mysterious amber is exclusively Aerodactyl. It's not like the various other fossils, which can contain different fossil Pokémon species."
Blaine sighed slightly. He had actually hoped to discover new fossil Pokémon, but so far, mysterious amber had only ever contained Aerodactyl.
Among the many fossil Pokémon species, Aerodactyl was considered relatively powerful, and it was also the only fossil Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
"It's the only fossil Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. I don't know if it's because of the amber preservation method that allows this, but it's certainly quite impressive."
