[Siebold]: Wait a second! Where did this Mewtwo come from?! It actually tanked Eternatus's attack head-on! Is this another region's god?!
[Elesa]: Eternatus is way too miserable. It just hit version No.1 and within minutes got power-crept by Mewtwo. That prestige is completely shattered.
[Cynthia]: As far as I know, there are no legends about Mewtwo in any region. The only clue is what Ash said—"Mewtwo is Mew's son." Perhaps starting from Mew-related records could reveal Mewtwo's true identity.
[Mewtwo]: I am not Mew's son! I am who I am! Remember my name—Mewtwo!
[Flint]: Oh my god—Pokémon can post comments now?!
[Lance]: Wow, so that's why rewards suddenly dropped after the last stream—version update, huh? Does that mean we'll see other gods speaking in chat later on?!
[Steven]: Pressure's on, everyone. Watch what you say from now on—if a regional deity takes offense, you're in trouble.
[Giovanni]: Mewtwo… I didn't expect you to still be alive.
[Mewtwo]: Thanks to you, I'm living very well.
[Lorelei]: Something feels off… I smell danger.
[Lance]: Let me clarify in advance—Team Rocket has nothing to do with the Kanto League! If you want revenge, go straight to Team Rocket!
Lance: Armor stacked! Turn over!
The few people who knew Mewtwo's identity stayed silent.
Clearly, many still couldn't believe that Mewtwo was alive.
They vaguely remembered Mewtwo's ideology—saving Pokémon harmed by humans.
If not for that boy awakening Mewtwo at the final moment,
a full-scale war between Pokémon and humans might have erupted.
Mewtwo had vanished after that incident.
Yet here it was—alive, and stronger than ever.
But what people cared about even more was—
[Diantha]: Why does it feel like Ash is familiar with every god-level Pokémon? Does he have some irresistible attraction to deities?! This is unfair—what even is that?!
It's called a succubus physique~
Careful, you might fall too!
On screen—
Within the sea of crimson light,
Mewtwo's voice rang out with overwhelming clarity.
Even though it spoke through psychic transmission,
the sheer presence was震撼人心—soul-shaking.
Even Eternatus was affected.
The beam from its mouth intensified instinctively,
trying to erase the threat before it completely.
But a weakened Eternatus relying only on instinct—
how could it possibly match Mewtwo?
At full power, maybe Mewtwo wouldn't stand a chance.
But now?
Who gave you the courage?
Even as Eternatus reinforced its attack,
it was completely futile.
The crimson beam coloring half the sky
was visibly being swallowed bit by bit.
Then—
Before the stunned audience,
Mewtwo blocked Eternatus's beam with a single barrier.
A purple shield—
like an absolute wall separating everything.
No matter how hard Eternatus pushed,
it couldn't pierce it.
At that moment, the audience finally grasped Mewtwo's strength.
Solo-defending against Eternatus.
After all, Mewtwo's barrier was famous for one thing—
It could block everything except Ash's fists.
One could reasonably suspect Ash learned Invisible Fist
before he ever met Mewtwo.
Mewtwo gently pushed forward.
The purple barrier traveled along the beam's trajectory,
forcing Eternatus's own attack back at it.
So Eternatus wasn't invincible after all?!
Then whose subordinate was this Mewtwo?!
Though the ability Pressure was underwhelming in games,
this wasn't a turn-based battle.
Here, pressure became tangible.
A crushing psychic force descended upon Eternatus.
As the purple barrier drew closer,
viewers could even see vigilance appear
in Eternatus's hollow eye sockets.
Making a skeletal Pokémon show emotion—
That alone was absurd.
Realizing it couldn't break through,
Eternatus stopped attacking.
The moment the beam ceased,
the advancing barrier vanished as well.
Now—
Mewtwo hovered like a god above the battlefield.
Sunlight passed through its body,
casting a massive shadow across the beach.
Wind stilled.
Waves froze.
Absolute silence.
'Ash… long time no see.'
After a long pause, Mewtwo spoke first,
breaking the suffocating tension.
Its face alone carried overwhelming pressure.
Coupled with the fact it had completely suppressed Eternatus,
Chloe didn't dare move an inch.
Only after hearing Mewtwo's tone
did her tightly wound heart finally ease.
At least…
it didn't sound like Ash and Mewtwo were enemies.
"Yeah. Ever since our last battle,
I don't even remember when we last met."
Ash rubbed his nose, slightly embarrassed.
He'd negotiated with too many legendary Pokémon—
To the point he forgot when he last saw Mewtwo.
'Idiot. It was when Genesect needed help.'
Something felt off.
Why did Mewtwo's tone sound… gentle?
"Haha… well, a lot happened after that.
Oh, right—I became Champion!"
Ash immediately changed the subject.
'Then… congratulations.'
As Mewtwo spoke, it slowly descended.
At the same time, Ash helped Chloe jump down from Eternatus.
Once on the ground, Ash rubbed his backside.
Eternatus's back was way too hard.
Fast or not—he never wanted to ride it again.
Mewtwo then floated before Ash.
"Pika~"
'Long time no see, Pikachu.'
Mewtwo nodded politely to Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
This calm, courteous Mewtwo felt deeply unsettling.
What do you do when your former archenemy becomes polite?!
Even so, Ash warmly chatted with Mewtwo
and introduced Chloe.
Having stayed by Ash's side for so long,
Chloe had already seen countless legendary Pokémon.
She was developing resistance.
Still, she politely greeted Mewtwo.
No matter what—
she couldn't embarrass Ash in public.
After some conversation,
Ash finally explained his purpose.
"Mewtwo, have you seen Mew on this island?"
He even looked around,
trying to spot Mew hiding somewhere.
But the moment Ash said that—
Mewtwo's expression darkened visibly.
'I think you forgot—
my relationship with Mew isn't exactly good.'
Even though the voice echoed in their minds,
the displeasure was unmistakable.
This wasn't "not good."
This was terrible.
[Lance]: Hey, Giovanni—care to explain what kind of relationship Mewtwo and Mew have?!
[Giovanni]: Are you teaching me how to do my job?
[Sabrina]: Boss Giovanni, I'd like to hear it too.
[Steven]: Don't be so stingy. Your plans are already destined to fail—might as well satisfy our curiosity.
Giovanni: ...
Why is this former Hoenn Champion so good at provoking people?!
What do you mean "destined to fail"?!
It already failed—twice!
Once because of Red,
once because of Ash!
Giovanni didn't even know
which Mewtwo this one was!
[Professor Oak]: Let me explain. Based on the information I just received, Mewtwo isn't a natural Pokémon—it's an artificial one.
[Volkner]: Artificial? Like Porygon?
[Professor Oak]: Not exactly. Porygon was born from data, but Mewtwo was created through human technology—specifically, cloning.
[Cynthia]: So Mewtwo is Giovanni's clone of Mew, created from its genes.
[Giovanni]: Professor Oak, as impressive as ever. Inferring the truth from such limited information… admirable.
Giovanni sighed.
If only Oak had been part of Team Rocket's research team,
they wouldn't have had so many failed experiments.
[Mewtwo]: Let's end this topic. My existence doesn't need to be known. I will only protect Pokémon harmed by humans.
[Ash]: Mewtwo! I told you back then—you're not evil! You have to trust your heart! Don't hurt humans anymore!
[Mewtwo]: That's none of your business!
[Caitlin]: What is this sudden tsundere behavior?! I'm a loyal Ash×Cynthia fan—I refuse to ship humans with Pokémon!
[Caitlin]: Ash×Mewtwo is actually kind of sweet~
You said that so righteously—
could you at least stick to it?!
On screen—
Mewtwo's sudden change in tone made Chloe's heart skip.
This was a being that could dominate Eternatus.
If it lost control—
Could she and Ash really leave safely?
Fortunately—
Realizing he'd misspoken, Ash quickly apologized.
Mewtwo didn't explode as Chloe feared.
Instead, it looked at Ash indulgently.
Clearly, Ash and Mewtwo were far closer than she imagined.
Chloe increasingly failed to understand Ash.
From Lugia onward—
how many legendary Pokémon was this now?!
If any unlucky deity ever truly angered Ash—
He could probably summon an entire lineup of first-tier gods.
No idea who would be the first "lucky" victim.
(Hoopa: Definitely not me!)
'So tell me—why are you looking for Mew?'
If Ash came here for Mew,
it had to be for something.
Anything Mew could do—
Mewtwo could do as well.
Ash's eyes lit up instantly.
"If Mew can do it, Mewtwo can too!"
Then—
"Well, this Pokémon here is called Eternatus.
It's not from Earth, so I can't communicate with it.
I came here hoping Mew could connect our minds."
'That's all?'
"Yeah! It's been bothering me for a long time.
It's extremely strong, so ordinary Psychic-types can't establish contact."
"If you're willing to help, Mewtwo,
then it'll definitely work."
'Then leave it to me.'
Mewtwo's gaze shifted slightly.
Ash's last sentence clearly pleased it.
It seemed that in Ash's heart,
Mewtwo was indeed special.
Using psychic power to establish a link
was the simplest method.
Mewtwo was an artificial Pokémon—
it had no divine authority.
Or perhaps…
its authority had yet to awaken.
As the first truly man-made legendary Pokémon,
Mewtwo possessed terrifying potential.
Its genes came from Mew,
granting it an absurdly vast move pool.
During its creation,
other Pokémon genes and unknown elements had been added—
Granting Mewtwo two Mega Evolutions, X and Y,
just like Charizard.
Its psychic power was even more outrageous.
In the realm of psychic abilities—
If Mewtwo claimed second place,
no one dared claim first.
Perhaps its unawakened divine role
was tied directly to psychic power itself.
As blue light flickered in Mewtwo's eyes,
an immense psychic field enveloped Ash and Eternatus.
On the beach—
Time itself seemed to freeze.
Sky. Ocean.
All fell silent.
Under the psychic sweep,
Mewtwo quickly reached a conclusion.
It successfully linked with Ash.
Then—
It attempted to connect with Eternatus.
But the purple-red particles surrounding Eternatus
instinctively resisted Mewtwo's psychic power.
Could Mewtwo tolerate that?
Of course not.
In an instant,
condensed blue psychic force enveloped Eternatus completely.
Seeing this,
viewers grew tense.
They might not fully understand Mewtwo's strength—
But they definitely understood Eternatus's.
Even weakened,
who could guarantee Eternatus wouldn't recklessly absorb Dynamax particles again?!
[Wallace]: Honestly, Mewtwo should stop. This feels like it could go wrong.
[Steven]: I agree. Mewtwo is artificial—even with Mew's genes, forcing through Eternatus's particle barrier might trigger a rampage.
[Flint]: Ah yes—Kalos Disaster Arc, my favorite!
[Sabrina]: I disagree. Mewtwo's psychic power far surpasses mine.
[Mewtwo]: Human… you think too highly of yourself. My psychic power is divine.
Audience: …Huh?
Just because you have Mew's genes, you're a god now?!
If you're a god,
doesn't that mean humans can create gods?!
That's absurd!
If there were a poll,
99% would vote that Mewtwo is not a god.
So while Mewtwo's display was incredible—
Who could guarantee it would last?
Most people still marked Mewtwo's strength with a question mark.
Doubt first.
On screen—
Under the pressure, Eternatus erupted.
Its red core surged violently.
Countless purple-red Dynamax particles
wrapped around its body.
Visibly—
Eternatus began rapidly expanding!
Soon, it reached over ten meters tall.
The purple-black skeletal dragon
soared above Mew Island.
Black mist poured endlessly from its body.
Anyone who'd watched the stream knew—
The Darkest Day was coming.
'Ash, your Pokémon doesn't seem very obedient.
Want me to help teach it a lesson?'
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Mewtwo?"
'Not at all.'
Mewtwo stared at Eternatus in the sky.
In its eyes—
Eternatus had already turned into Mew's silhouette.
(Some jeep-warrior somewhere strongly approves.)
