Chapter 523: Mewtwo: Leave it to Me
Chapter 523: Mewtwo: Leave it to Me
Ding, ding, ding—
The Red Chain shot out, targeting the red Genesect leader. If they could control this one, the other four Genesects would be of little concern, as the leader could manipulate regular Genesects.
However.
Perhaps due to the resistance developed from Akroma's previous control or sensing the threat posed by the Red Chain, the red Genesect leader sounded the alarm at the first opportunity.
"Scatter!"
Simultaneously.
The red Genesect leader transformed into a saucer shape and, with incredible speed, dodged the binding of the Red Chain.
Extreme Speed! Normally, Genesects couldn't master this move, but this red Genesect leader was an exception.
It could even use Extreme Speed to match the speed of Mewtwo, who was right behind Magma.
As they raced, there was a hint of a flash resembling the Flash.
This was why the movie was titled "Extreme Speed Genesect."
Its speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even feel its presence; they could only vaguely see some red afterimages.
Fortunately, Jinghe, with his Wave Guide, could barely track its trajectory.
"Huh?"
The Rapid Dragon, who had landed beside Jinghe, raised its head, its gaze following the movements of the Genesect leader. Its short wings fluttered lightly.
Jinghe also decisively shifted the Red Chain's target.
Since the Genesect leader couldn't be caught, it was time for a different approach.
Ding, ding, ding—
The Red Chain coiled around and restrained the Genesect equipped with the Freeze Cassette, and the power of the Three Saints of Emotion caused its movements to falter.
The Red Chain, which even Dialga and Palkia had to concede to, was perhaps not perfectly crafted, but it was sufficient to handle a regular Genesect.
Moreover, Gramps's Dark Hole also had a significant impact on the Genesects that couldn't dodge in time.
"Damn humans! Trying to control us again!"
Upon seeing this, the red Genesect leader couldn't contain its fury.
It recalled the days in the dark and oppressive Nurture Pod, where their bodies and even their consciousness didn't belong to themselves; they were called "war machines" by those people.
Even when facing a terrifying monster like Tyrantrum, they were ordered not to retreat.
Every day, they endured the painful torment disguised as "enhancement."
This was why the Genesect leader held such animosity towards humans; it was Plasma Team and Akroma who had left them with such a negative impression of humanity.
If not for the collision with Tyrantrum, which froze and damaged the devices on their bodies with its power, they would have struggled to break free from Akroma's control.
But now.
Another human was attempting to control it, to control its companions, using a different method.
This unleashed all the anger and resentment built up from being manipulated, imprisoned, and treated as playthings.
Buzz—
The Genesect leader drew a red arc of light in the air and charged straight towards Jinghe.
"Roar!!"
Sensing the threat and prepared, the Rapid Dragon immediately took flight, its body enveloped in a stream of dark red and milky white energy.
Reverse Scales, activate!
Extreme Speed! Countering Extreme Speed with Extreme Speed! Boom!!
The Rapid Dragon and the Genesect leader collided head-on.
The Genesect leader looked at the Rapid Dragon with some surprise.
It hadn't expected such speed from a seemingly plump Pokemon with such small wings.
But it wasn't enough; it needed more!
After glancing at the Rapid Dragon, the Genesect leader, with even greater speed, circled around it and charged towards Jinghe once more.
Humans, annihilate!
Seeing this, the Rapid Dragon's eyes narrowed.
It would never allow any harm to come to Jinghe!
"Roar—!!"
It let out a long howl, and the milky white energy around its body slowly began to swirl with hints of green, intercepting the Genesect leader once more.
For a moment, the swirling energy resembled arrows in flight.
Its speed instantly surged to the extreme.
This time, the Genesect leader was genuinely shocked.
The speed of this "fat dragon"—
Boom!!
Once again, the Rapid Dragon intercepted the Genesect leader, surprising it.
Though it seemed like a lengthy exchange, the two collisions between the Rapid Dragon and the Genesect leader occurred within a very short time.
The Genesect with the Freeze Cassette was restrained by the Red Chain, and Jinghe sensed its inner struggle, anxiety, and deep longing for its homeland.
For the Genesects, their homeland and home were like a mother, nurturing and raising them, which explained their strong attachment to the concept of "home."
Even a glimpse of home, like the sight of the Water Lily Orathea, made them yearn to possess this place.
"Annihilate them!"
The Genesect leader issued another command to the ordinary Genesects.
Except for the Genesect equipped with the Freeze Cassette, the rest of them had their eyes turn red, and they circled above, forming the shape of a revolver once again.
Hi-Tech Laser!
"Everyone, hide!" Jinghe waved his hand.
"Roar!"
Ice Nine Tails descended, and Permafrost Barrier and Aurora Curtain instantly formed, but the next second—
Boom, boom, boom!
The barrage of attacks rained down relentlessly.
Although the wild Pokemon living in the Pokemon Estate weren't directly attacked, the mere aftermath of the Hi-Tech Laser barrage was enough to send them flying.
This time, Gyarados and its group didn't act recklessly.
After witnessing the power of the Genesects, they understood the gap in strength.
In terms of familiarity with the Pokemon Estate, the Genesects were undoubtedly less knowledgeable than them.
Everyone scattered and hid at Jinghe's command.
Jinghe also led the little ones and the Genesect restrained by the Red Chain to a more secluded spot.
Once again, he clearly felt the helplessness and determination in its heart.
Jinghe sighed softly.
"Do you want to go home?" Jinghe communicated through Wave Guide.
"Yes."
Although the Genesect with the Freeze Cassette was influenced by the Red Chain, its cognitive abilities remained intact.
"I'll help you find it!" Jinghe declared firmly.
The Genesect looked into Jinghe's eyes.
In its gaze, there was a solemn promise.
Perhaps it was due to the conviction conveyed through Wave Guide, or maybe the Red Chain allowed both Jinghe and the Genesect to sense each other's sincerity.
Or perhaps it was because Jinghe had responded to its distress signal.
But Jinghe felt that the most likely reason was his earlier words—
"You lost your home, so you want to take away someone else's?"
The Genesect solemnly nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Can your leader control you?" Jinghe suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the Genesect nodded.
"Our leader was the first to be born, and I was the last."
Its language skills seemed a bit lacking, but Jinghe understood its meaning.
The red Genesect was likely the first one resurrected from fossils by Akroma, and it had undergone the most extensive and numerous modifications by him.
Consequently, it had endured the most torment and held the deepest grudge, making it the most resistant to humans.
Just as Jinghe was about to ask more questions—
"They've found you!" The Genesect with the Freeze Cassette panicked and shouted.
Hmm?
Three Genesects with red eyes suddenly appeared above Jinghe, their three cannons ready to fire. Hi-Tech Laser!
The Genesect with the Freeze Cassette beside Jinghe also raised its cannon, quickly gathering energy to help Jinghe counter the attack.
At the same time—
"Roar!"
Ice Nine Tails unleashed the Aurora Curtain.
Crimsoned Armored Knight aimed its cannon, with flames swirling within.
Martial Bear Master and Gigaforg charged towards the three Genesects from the left and right.
Rapid Dragon also flew over at high speed.
Boom!
Everything erupted in an instant, and the entire world seemed to fall into a brief silence.
Amidst the impact, the Genesect leader moved at an incredible speed, rushing straight towards Jinghe's back!
The previous three Genesects were merely a diversion, and its surprise attack was the key to this assault!
"Huff!"
Gramps shed his usual playful demeanor and leaped out from beneath Jinghe to face the red Genesect leader directly.
Everything else could be negotiated, but harming Jinghe was not an option.
From Gramps's feet, a surge of Ghost-type energy emerged, causing his body to swell.
"Chirp!"
"Lotom!"
Tyrogue and Lotom stood on either side of Gramps.
Even Gastly, who had just become friends with Gramps, bit its teeth and ran behind Jinghe, spreading its arms wide.
Originally, the goal was to occupy the Pokemon Estate with Genesect, but now, the objective has transformed into annihilation, annihilation, annihilation!
"Annihilate all obstacles!"
Hi-Tech Laser!
And at this very moment, a Pokemon broke through the sky, unnoticed by anyone. An incredibly powerful Psychic power swept across the entire Pokemon Estate, instantly locking onto Jinghe and the Genesect Leader.
Its form resembled a human and a feline, with a silvery-white body and purple eyes, tail, and abdomen. A bundle of external nerve fibers extended from the center of its back, reaching all the way to the back of its neck.
It was Mewtwo!
As Mewtwo noticed the Genesect Leader's movement, its eyes narrowed, and with three fingers spread apart, a spherical object instantly took shape.
It swayed its body and swiftly dove downward, flinging the sphere from its hand.
An incredibly terrifying Psychic power swept through the area, and the seemingly small Psychic sphere gave the Genesect Leader a strong sense of danger.
Boom!!!
The explosion reverberated behind Jinghe, but the massive shockwave was blocked by a Psychic barrier.
Large swaths of dust and shattered rocks scattered and rose into the air.
Hmm?
Jinghe's eyes widened in surprise.
He was well aware of the Genesect Leader's attack from behind.
Although the opponent's offense seemed powerful, he also firmly believed that Gramps could withstand it.
His task was to buy time and use the Genesect equipped with the Freeze Cassette as a breakthrough, "turning" the other ordinary Genesects to make the red Genesect the sole commander.
However, it seemed that something had intervened in the previous conflict.
"Gyaah?"
Gramps tilted his head.
And then, as the dust slowly dissipated, a silvery-white figure appeared within Jinghe and Gramps' line of sight.
Seeing the figure firmly grasping the Genesect Leader, Jinghe's pupils constricted.
"Mewtwo?!"
No.
How did Mewtwo get here?
And it appeared here, so the "one hour" mentioned earlier wasn't referring to the Genesects' arrival time but its arrival time?
Speaking of which, Jinghe has "known" Mewtwo for quite some time, almost half a year, and they've had numerous interactions. Still, this was the first time he truly saw Mewtwo.
The oppressive feeling brought about by such a powerful Psychic power was a bit exaggerated.
Now, after Gramps' initial confusion, his expression became even tenser.
This guy is even more intimidating than the Genesects!
At this moment, Mewtwo slightly turned its head and looked at Jinghe and Gramps.
"Gyaah!"
Gramps bared its teeth.
Although Mewtwo's actions didn't seem hostile, Ghost had never seen it before, so it couldn't be sure of its intentions.
I'm not afraid! No one dares to touch Jinghe!
Mewtwo nodded slightly towards Jinghe.
Jinghe's hand rested on Gramps' shoulder.
"Gramps, don't worry, it's not an enemy."
"Gyaah?"
Not an enemy? Gramps scratched its head, glancing at Jinghe with some skepticism.
Such a powerful Pokemon, when did you get close to it? How come I knew nothing about it?
Jinghe couldn't answer Gramps' questions at the moment, but he used Wave Guide to communicate with Mewtwo.
"This guy is stubborn and very strong."
Stubborn? Strong? Mewtwo looked at the red Genesect, and its voice resonated in Jinghe's mind.
"Leave it to me."
Boom!!
Psychic power erupted, and the red Genesect was flung away.
Mewtwo showed no mercy, and its body flashed as it chased after it.
In the movie, Mewtwo couldn't defeat the Genesect Leader, even after Magma evolved. It seemed to be fighting with difficulty, more to admonish than to win.
But that was because Mewtwo had already developed a protective attitude towards the other Pokemon, so it didn't use its full strength against the Genesect. It was more about giving advice.
However, the current Mewtwo had just "emerged" from its long seclusion, and its fighting ability and desire were at their peak.
As for Mewtwo's combat abilities after spending so much time in the Nurture Pod, there was no need for concern.
Even if Mewtwo relied solely on its instincts, its combat abilities were unquestionable.
As Mewtwo dealt with the Genesect Leader, Jinghe's gaze fell upon the three Genesects, and a smile appeared on his face.
The three Genesects trembled at his smile.
That smile... it looked so unscrupulous.
