This situation left Mewtwo, who was previously inflated with ego, dumbfounded.
For a moment, it felt incredulous, as if the whole world was against it.
It looked at the clones of Pokémon it had created:
"Don't you all want to fight the original? Don't you all want to prove you're unique?"
Mewtwo's emotions were hard to control.
In terms of intelligence, it was definitely very high, but after getting stuck in a dead end, its understanding was limited to a box, unable to transcend it.
"You can't understand.
Listen to their voices, and feel this world with your heart! Humans are divided into good and bad, and so are Pokémon! Just like you now, you're even evil in the eyes of Pokémon." Xia Mu spoke again.
'Pika~ Pikachu~!!' (That's right! Your behavior is wrong!)
Pikachu's serious voice rang out beside him, making Xia Mu involuntarily look at it.
What a divine intervention!
Mewtwo couldn't understand; it couldn't easily escape its predicament.
Negative emotions burned within it, enveloping its body, and its aura had clearly changed.
"As expected, even after all this talk, we still have to fight in the end!"
Xia Mu took a deep breath and pulled out a Beedrill Luxury Ball.
It was time for the Pokémon to attack, but Mewtwo didn't care about battle rules; it unleashed its psychic powers and launched an attack.
'Lucario~~!' (Don't even think about hurting Lord Xia Mu!)
Lucario clashed with Mewtwo.
This was an unavoidable confrontation. Although Lucario struggled against Mewtwo's power, the battle had only just begun, and even with Mewtwo's formidable strength, Lucario managed to hold its own.
"Truly worthy of being a Pokémon created from your genes, Mew!" Xia Mu said to Mew beside him, then summoned Beedrill.
Beedrill's appearance immediately assessed the situation.
Although Pokémon are inside their Poké Balls, they can still perceive everything happening outside.
Especially the visual capabilities of Luxury Balls are far superior.
To put it simply, inside a regular Poké Ball, you can only see out through a small window.
A Great Ball has a slightly larger window, offering a clearer view.
A Luxury Ball is like a floor-to-ceiling window, allowing for an even more detailed view.
"Don't rush, Beedrill, eat these candies first." Xia Mu didn't hesitate, taking this opportunity to buy 10 more Rare Candies from the system shop.
The money he'd saved was for this moment.
He wouldn't go for a level higher, but he needed to reach the same level first, and then perform Mega Evolution on that basis to have a chance to suppress Mewtwo with minimal cost.
If anything unexpected happened during the battle, Xia Mu was prepared to gang up on it.
Beedrill was thrilled upon seeing the Rare Candies.
Having already been strengthened once, it was about to be strengthened again, making it even stronger, which naturally made it happy.
Watching Beedrill's level rise from 70 to 80, Xia Mu smiled.
Others might not know what was going on? Even Mew didn't understand, but she was curious and came closer, wanting to taste the candy.
Xia Mu dared not give it any Rare Candy.
Reaching a higher level meant a significant change.
Its aura alone was different from before; its strength had increased dramatically, like completing an evolutionary leap.
"How about it? Are you confident enough to challenge Mewtwo? Defeat him!" Xia Mu asked Beedrill.
At this moment, Xia Mu was 100% confident that Beedrill could at least rival the regional champion.
Even after Mega Evolution, it would completely surpass the regional champion.
'Buzz~~!' (Evolved, even more secure.)
Beedrill's answer made Xia Mu smile with satisfaction.
It hadn't been blinded by its increased strength and recklessly thrown itself, but after sensing Mewtwo's power, it had determined that its current strength was still insufficient.
His Beedrill was usually arrogant and direct, but in crucial moments, it was still very rational.
"Then Mega Evolve, Beedrill!" Taking out Beedrill's Evolution Key, Xia Mu and Beedrill were of one mind.
The friendship level between the two Pokémon had already exceeded 200 points, and now, with another level increase, Beedrill felt incredibly valued, its friendship level surpassing the limit to 220 points.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone and all the Pokémon, the Evolution Key emitted a dazzling rainbow of light, creating a special connection with the Mega Stone worn by Beedrill.
Attracted by this magical power, the light from the Evolution Key and the Mega Stone merged, enveloping Beedrill's body.
As Mega Evolution neared its end, Beedrill's form underwent a dramatic transformation, and the unique mark of Mega Evolution flashed.
Mega Beedrill had arrived!

…
Beedrill's evolution left everyone and every Pokémon speechless. Shouldn't Beedrill already be its final evolution?
This was something never seen before.
Such an evolution was also unbelievable.
Mew, however, wasn't surprised; instead, she was very curious that Xia Mu could make Beedrill undergo this kind of evolution.
This also made Xia Mu realize that this kind of evolution had indeed existed since ancient times, and wasn't just a recent development.
It's likely that humans formed a bond with Pokémon long ago, but the probability of achieving this evolution is extremely low, and it's not fully cotrolled.
The appearance of Xia Mu and Beedrill triggered some past memories for Mew.
