Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 445: Mewtwo?

On March 4th.

This month's monthly entry turned out to be a purple [Entry Replica].

Adding the three blue [Entry Replicas] he had saved up before, he combined them to obtain one red [Entry Replica].

If he fused it with his other red entries, he could get another golden one.

However, after some thought, Hikaru decided not to fuse this [Entry Replica] just yet.

He was quite familiar with the red entries he currently had.

Temporarily setting aside the upgradable entries, the others were all related to the Psychic type, which was more than enough for Latias.

"Let's go."

Looking at the invitation on his phone, Hikaru stood up and stretched his waist.

The selection for the trainers who would go on to compete internationally was in April.

Strangely, this time the selection was divided into two categories.

One was the Senior Division, and the other was the Junior Division.

The former was for trainers between eighteen and twenty-four years old.

The latter was for trainers under eighteen.

This made Hikaru's lips curl into a smirk even as he was taken aback. By this calculation, he could only participate in the Junior Division...

Fighting in the under-eighteen group, wasn't that just a "baby cup"?

There was still some time until then, but Hikaru didn't plan on staying here any longer.

He had said he would take Lugia to experience human life, but he hadn't even taken it to the human world yet.

Moreover, it was about time he replied to Team Rocket.

He took out a few Ultra Balls and examined them.

These were Athena's Pokémon. Hikaru had ensured their basic needs were met but had also added a substance that induced physical weakness into their food.

Long-term consumption would render them unable to use their energy for a period of time.

Hikaru opened his phone again.

On it was a message from Landa, sent on March 1st.

[Landa]: We found another fragment of a Plate. The value of these Plates far exceeds what you said about just speeding up energy circulation!

[Landa]: These Plates can also improve the potential of Pokémon of the same type, even up to the Champion level!! You knew about this all along, didn't you?!

Hikaru wasn't surprised by the other party's delayed discovery.

They were Arceus's Plates, after all...

However, it seemed the other party's information was incomplete.

[Hikaru]: How else would it be worth one of Team Rocket's Elite Four members?

[Hikaru]: Are you trading or not? If not, I'm handing her over to the League. Once a Team Rocket Elite Four member enters the League's custody, it'll be hard for her to get out, right?

The other side didn't reply immediately, but Hikaru wasn't in a hurry.

The task of collecting the Plates couldn't be rushed...

After supervising the Pokémon's final training session, Hikaru made a large batch of Pokéblocks to have on hand.

At dusk, just as Hikaru was announcing to everyone that this phase of training was complete, an uninvited guest put everyone on high alert.

In the sky was a pink, humanoid Pokémon with a fierce expression, a long, slender, light-purple tail, and two short horns on its head.

In this world, most people might not recognize it, but Hikaru did.

Mewtwo!

The man-made god—Mewtwo!

Its immense pressure instantly put all the Pokémon present on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But as Mewtwo merely released a sliver of its psychic power, almost all the Pokémon, except for Latias and Lugia, couldn't even lift their heads.

'Wait, is there a Mewtwo in this world too? Or is this the Mewtwo that this world's Team Rocket has already created?'

A thousand possibilities flashed through Hikaru's mind in an instant.

[Pokémon: Mewtwo]

[Ability: Pressure]

[Gender: ???]

[Talent: Major Legendary]

[Level: ???]

[Moves: Disable, Confusion, Swift, Ancient Power, Safeguard, Aura Sphere, Guard Swap....]

He couldn't see its level, which meant it was already over level 100!

Mew's summoning card appeared in his hand in an instant.

"Wooo wooo?"

Lugia flew up curiously. Possessing a power from the same origin, it couldn't sense any of Mewtwo's oppressive aura.

"Lugia, come back!"

Unsure of this Mewtwo's origins, Hikaru called out subconsciously.

Although Lugia was a Legendary Pokémon, it was currently only level 52, far too weak compared to Mewtwo.

"Wooo wooo..."

"Lugia... Latias..."

Looking at the Pokémon below, Mewtwo's purple eyes glowed faintly.

A single human was able to have two Legendary Pokémon follow him. Such trainers were rare, even in that world that had been destroyed.

Unfortunately, both of these Pokémon were still too weak.

And...

He had the scent of Mew on him, an aura that could only be accumulated over a long period of time!

He should have a good talk with him...

In a flash, Mewtwo had landed in front of Hikaru.

This wasn't Teleport; it was purely its speed that brought it before him.

Almost none of Hikaru's Pokémon could react in time.

Not even Lucario with its Aura.

"Hello, human..."

"...Hello..."

Hikaru kept his expression neutral. Seeing that Mewtwo had no malicious intent, he signaled his Pokémon behind him not to show hostility.

"Mewtwo?!"

"How can it be so soon?"

But Athena, who was bound and staying in the back, cried out in astonishment.

The Mewtwo Project had been going on for ten years.

As a Team Rocket Elite Four member, she naturally knew about the research concerning Mewtwo.

Hearing its name, Mewtwo glanced back but didn't pay her much attention.

"May I ask... if there's anything you need?" Hikaru asked first.

Just standing there wasn't a solution.

He at least needed to know the other party's purpose for coming.

"No particular purpose. I just want to understand this new world. And also... I want to meet Mew."

It wasn't as cold as he'd imagined. After landing, Mewtwo even smiled. "You have a very strong scent of Mew on you, which means you've had a lot of contact with it...."

"...Mew isn't here right now."

"Oh? What about its Tree of Beginning? You should have been there, right?"

"..."

Hikaru didn't answer immediately.

The existence of the Tree of Beginning was undeniable, but the Tree was connected to the vast Qinling Mountains.

If the Tree of Beginning were to suffer any damage, the entire Qinling region would be affected.

He didn't know if Mewtwo's feelings towards Mew were good or bad.

However, for it to be able to sense from his Aura that he had been to the Tree of Beginning...

This level of Aura was simply too terrifying.

Seeing him remain silent, Mewtwo muttered to itself:

"Someone used Mew's cells and the technology of that world to create a second me. This is a new world; it won't fight me to the death due to a conflict of fundamental laws....."
