"What is that?!"
The sudden appearance of the crimson giant shocked Lance and the others.
Had something gone wrong in the plan?
When Lance saw a human appear beside Mewtwo, his face changed drastically.
"N-No! Stop him! Don't let him remove that stone—or we're finished!"
"Mega Evolve—Crobat!"
(Temporary setting: All Pokémon in this book can Mega Evolve.)
Lance panicked.
If Mewtwo regained its power, they were dead.
"Weezing, Self-Destruct!"
"Houndoom, Fire Fang—attack that human!"
Boom!
The attacks failed to break through.
All of them were blocked by the crimson spiritual avatar.
The entire cave trembled violently.
Even the League personnel stationed over a kilometer away felt the shockwave.
Because Mewtwo disliked being approached, the League had stationed guards at a distance.
Their role was to prevent humans from provoking the volatile Legendary.
"Cerulean Cave is erupting?!"
Their expressions changed.
"Quick—contact Elite Four Lorelei!"
…
"What is that power?"
Though unable to access its law-level strength, Mewtwo's perception remained sharp.
It could sense divinity within that crimson energy.
The power of a god-tier being.
And not just any—
A destructive one.
Yet strangely—
It didn't feel native to this world.
"Don't zone out. Pikachu can't hold much longer. It's your turn."
Gu Qiu grabbed the Mewtwoite X.
Small as it was, it weighed nearly two or three pounds and radiated heat.
"Th… thank you."
The words sounded awkward from Mewtwo's mouth.
Perhaps it had never said them before.
"Pikachu, return."
With Mewtwo's strength restored, Pikachu no longer needed to tank damage.
The Susanoo dissipated instantly.
Pikachu's face was pale, sweat lining its forehead.
Those attacks had hurt.
Mewtwo glanced at Pikachu.
It could see the infinite potential within that small body.
"Not good—Mewtwo has recovered!"
"Attack together! Otherwise we won't escape!"
All Pokémon unleashed their strongest moves simultaneously.
If that barrage struck Pikachu, it would be devastating.
After all, Pikachu was Level 65—
Their strongest Pokémon reached Level 85.
"Mewtwo—move!"
"No need."
Mewtwo lifted a single hand.
Every incoming attack—
Vanished like stones sinking into the sea.
Gu Qiu narrowed his eyes.
So this is the power of a Legendary…
If only he possessed such strength.
"You dared attack me."
"Then perish."
Mewtwo flicked its wrist.
Lance and the other two Rocket members began to beg.
"Lord Mewtwo! It was our mistake! We only obeyed Boss Giovanni!"
"Giovanni… I will deal with him in time."
At the mention of Giovanni, caution flickered in Mewtwo's eyes.
Clearly—
Giovanni posed a real threat.
"Die."
Lance and the other two were lifted into the air.
They couldn't resist.
They couldn't even scream.
It felt as though the world had abandoned them.
Terror.
Fear.
Despair.
Bang.
They exploded.
Gu Qiu's eyes narrowed.
Truly a violent Legendary.
"Pikachu—Super · Self-Regeneration."
Gu Qiu had already prepared Flying Thunder God just in case.
He had saved Mewtwo—
But who knew if it would spare a human?
A glow enveloped Pikachu.
All injuries vanished.
Even the strain on its eyes from Susanoo—
Gone.
An incredible ability.
The only limitation—
At Pikachu's current level, it could only use it once per day.
As for the other Pokémon—
Mewtwo simply teleported them away.
It was ruthless toward humans—
But fair to Pokémon.
It understood they had merely obeyed orders.
After finishing, Mewtwo turned to Gu Qiu.
"Human. Do you not fear me?"
"Why would I? Aren't we both intelligent beings living in this world? Besides—I saved you."
Gu Qiu met its gaze calmly.
He couldn't lose momentum here.
Mewtwo glanced at Pikachu again.
That regeneration ability—
Even it felt envy.
This human was extraordinary.
And that Pikachu…
"You're right. I may be violent—but I do not slaughter my benefactors."
"I dislike owing debts."
"I will grant you three requests."
"As long as you do not ask me to become your Pokémon."
"Even if you request I battle other Legendaries."
Mewtwo turned away, hands clasped behind its back.
Like a reclusive master.
It was intensely curious about Gu Qiu and Pikachu—
But pride prevented it from asking.
Tsundere Legendary.
"No need for that. Saving you was merely a small gesture."
Gu Qiu smiled lightly.
Of course he wouldn't let Mewtwo off so easily.
Mewtwo didn't want to be caught—
But Gu Qiu certainly wanted it.
He deliberately downplayed the rescue.
Just then—
System notifications rang out.
[Ding! Phase Three complete. Pokémon Living Space acquired!]

[Ding! Mewtwo's Affinity +100!]

Gu Qiu's lips curved slightly.
The real harvest—
