Clear Cliff
Mewtwo stared at the cracked psychic barrier in the footage and couldn't help but twitch.
Even though it had already happened…
Seeing it again still felt unreal.
What kind of body did that human even have?
But what came next…
Mewtwo knew it had done something unforgivable.
'Is this Heavenly Ranking replaying this just to make me feel more guilty?'
Inside the footage
Ash was blasted back by the rebounding barrier.
But before even a second passed—
He sprang up and charged again!
This time, Mewtwo was prepared.
It raised its hand.
Ash was lifted into the air.
This kid was too dangerous.
If he was allowed to live, he would threaten Mewtwo's position as the strongest Pokémon.
This child…
Must not live.
"Hmmph!"
Mewtwo flung Ash away with telekinesis!
Ash was hurled dozens of meters into the air, straight toward the castle's upper railings!
If he slammed into them and fell—
Even with a Super Pallet Town kid's body, he would be seriously injured!
Suddenly—
A pink bubble appeared behind Ash.
He bounced off it and gently slid down onto a rooftop platform.
'What?'
Mewtwo's eyes narrowed.
Who saved him?
Why couldn't it sense it?
Then—
A small, pink, cat-like Pokémon appeared beside Ash, playfully poking him.
It was—
Mew.
Lance: "Mew's here!"
Brandon: "So this is the real versus the fake?"
Steven: "Wrong. Mew is basically Mewtwo's parent.
In other words, his dad showed up."
Brandon: "Huh?"
Lance: "Steven means—your dad is here!"
Mewtwo: "...?"
Steven: "—!!!"
Oh no.
We forgot the real Mewtwo was watching!
Cynthia: "Heh. Talking behind someone's back and getting caught."
Diantha: "Come on, Mewtwo, don't be polite—go beat them up."
Lance: "HEY! That's slander! We were joking!"
Steven: "Yes, yes! Totally a joke! Right, Mewtwo? You're not that petty… right?"
Mewtwo: "When this is over, I'll visit you personally.
I'd like to test… Champion-level strength."
Lance and Steven both went pale.
They immediately decided—
Tomorrow, they were going straight to Ash's side.
Ash had Red.
Red had Mewtwo.
That was the safest place on Earth.
Back to the footage
Mewtwo attacked Mew.
Over and over.
But Mew simply dodged, looking confused.
It didn't understand why this Pokémon wanted to hurt it.
Even as Shadow Balls flew, Mew never struck back.
Finally, Mewtwo spoke.
'Mew… humans say you are the strongest Pokémon.'
'You are the source of my genes.'
'But now… I am the strongest Pokémon.'
'Because my name is Mewtwo — one who surpasses Mew.'
'So I am the real one.'
'You… are the fake.'
'Only one of us can exist.'
Squirtle stared in horror.
So even something this strong…
Was a clone?
Professor Oak: "Giovanni, you should go back to Pokémon school."
Lorelei: "Calling Mew the strongest Pokémon? You really ignore all other Legendaries."
Diantha: "This is what bad education looks like."
Bruno: "@Giovanni, you watching this? This is your fault."
Everyone knew.
Only Giovanni would have taught Mewtwo that nonsense.
Mew is mysterious—not the strongest.
Rocket HQ
Giovanni crushed his fist.
'Idiots. You don't know psychology.
You tell it it comes from the strongest, then tell it it surpasses the strongest.
That builds confidence!'
Unfortunately…
Mewtwo betrayed him anyway.
Back to the footage
Mew still didn't understand.
Mewtwo snapped.
'Then fight me!'
Another Shadow Ball.
Mew teleported away.
Mewtwo fired again and again.
Mew laughed and dodged.
'Why won't you fight back?!'
"Mew~"
Mew looked like it was asking, Why are you hitting me?
They raced across the sky—
Over the castle.
Over the stormy ocean.
Finally—
Mew was hit.
Mewtwo smirked.
Then—
A massive pink energy sphere slammed into Mewtwo!
BOOM!!
Mewtwo barely raised its barrier in time.
Lance: "Those cracks… Mew's attack did slightly more damage than Ash's punch."
Leon: "So Mew is stronger than Ash… by a little—wait WHAT?"
Cynthia: "Now we truly understand how insane Ash's punch was."
Mew flew back angrily.
'You tried to kill me!'
'Then let's decide this!'
Mewtwo hovered over its clone army.
'Let's see which is real!'
'Let the originals fight my clones!'
Meowth translated:
"Mew says real is real! Originals never lose to copies!"
Oh no.
That was exactly what Mewtwo hated most.
Mewtwo threw a Shadow Ball—
It missed Mew and blasted the platform Ash was on!
Ash almost fell.
Mewtwo declared:
'No moves. Just bodies. Let's see who is real.'
All Pokémon charged.
Fists.
Claws.
Tails.
Even Psyduck vs Psyduck.
Two idiots slapping each other.
Ash jumped back to the ground.
He saw Pikachu—
Being beaten and not fighting back.
"Why are you fighting?!"
"Real or clone—they're all alive!"
"If this is your reason to kill each other, it's ridiculous!"
"Stop!"
Joy sighed.
"As long as Mew and Mewtwo fight… the others will too."
High above—
Two gods clashed.
The shockwaves knocked out exhausted Pokémon.
They were all dying.
Mewtwo and Mew prepared massive attacks.
Two god-tier beams.
If they collided—
The entire castle would be destroyed.
Pink.
Purple.
Two beams fired—
And—
A human jumped between them.
"ASH!!!"
