"Me too. My past understanding was incredibly foolish. I just didn't know how to train them," Fergus chimed in.
"I always thought that was Xia Mu's full strength, but every time we meet, he surprises me." Xiao Tian assumed Xia Mu had been hiding his true power.
Coupled with Xia Mu constantly accepting challenges, fighting hundreds of battles a day, Xiao Tian instinctively realized that without that strength, how could he sustain such high-intensity battles?
Xiao Tian didn't know that Xia Mu's rapid growth was entirely due to his cheat-like simulator, making his training much simpler and more direct.
Sonia, standing nearby, remained silent, but her thoughts were racing: [This evolution seems to be the Mega Evolution that the people in the Kalos region have been researching.
Xia Mu actually mastered this method of evolution? How did he do it?]
…
Because Mewtwo and Mega Beedrill were at war,the original and cloned Pokémon were silently observing the battle.
For the cloned Pokémon, the real desire wasn't to fight.
The reason they fought the originals in the original story was entirely due to the antagonistic relationship between Mewtwo and Mew, projecting their own experiences onto the originals and ultimately leading to a war between clones and the originals.
The original Pokémon hated the clones in the original story to protect their own status.
In the current situation, the war from the original story won't happen again.
At least as long as Xia Mu is here, he will definitely stop them from engaging in meaningless melee combat.
"Stop playing around, Mega Beedrill! Show it a thing or two!" With a command, Xia Mu mentally gave the Mega Beedrill the order.
In the game, Pokémon might disobey due to insufficient badges or a low trainer level, but this won't happen in the real world.
Because Xia Mu is strong enough, and it's because of him that his Pokémon have this strength.
They can all Mega Evolve, and their friendship level exceeds 200 points. Just this alone makes their relationship incredibly close, a bond of life and death, and they certainly won't disobey.
[Combo Slash!!] Upon receiving Xia Mu's command, Mega Beedrill's eyes flashed red, its imposing and powerful stance exuding the oppressive aura of a Bug-type king.
In an instant, after dodging Mewtwo's Shadow Ball, Mega Beedrill launched its attack.
The attack, a combo, while not particularly powerful on its own, doubled in power with each successful hit.
Xia Mu used this move to test Mega Beedrill's physical attack limits.
In the game, combos often fail to KO the opponent due to insufficient power, resulting in the attacker being KO'd, or even if two hits were successful, the attack would be interrupted and the damage would accumulate.
But in the real world, the opponent was Mewtwo.
Using Mega Beedrill's speed, as long as it wasn't caught by Mewtwo's psychic abilities, the combo's power could increase from 40 to 80, and then from 80 to 160!
Disguised as a low-level Bug-type move, it was actually the strongest physical attack of the Bug type.
Despite Mewtwo's own speed, the difference in speed between Mega Beedrill and Mega Beedrill was still significant.
Mega Beedrill's consecutive attacks struck, truly like a sharp sword capable of piercing through anything.
Mewtwo was wounded again, letting out a painful groan.
However, this attack still couldn't defeat it. This inherent weakness truly shocked Xia Mu, further confirming his belief that legendary Pokémon were indeed legendary.
Mewtwo was already this difficult to deal with; he wondered what level of power it would reach after becoming stronger.
What about the other legendary Pokémon?
For example, the Sinnoh gods that had left the deepest impression on Xia Mu.
Not to mention Arceus, the creator god, there was Dialga, the god of time; Palkia, the god of space; and Giratina, the master of the Reverse World… He dared not even imagine.
'BOOM!!!'
Just as Xia Mu was lost in thought, the second consecutive attack struck Mewtwo.
The terrifying impact sent Mewtwo crashing into the stands at the edge of the arena, shattering the buildings there.
Mewtwo was severely injured; the power of the attack left it momentarily stunned.
Mega Beedrill's attack wasn't over yet; its third consecutive slash pushed its momentum beyond its limits.
It seemed capable of a one-hit kill, even against a higher-level opponent.
At this critical moment, everyone assumed Mewtwo was powerless to resist and would be defeated.
Suddenly, Mew teleported, appearing in front of Mewtwo.
It unleashed a Protect, blocking Mega Beedrill's third consecutive slash.
Mega Beedrill was stunned, and Xia Mu was also momentarily speechless. His worst fears had come true.
He had a premonition, even his precautions hadn't helped.
While Mew meant well, not wanting to see too many casualties, its intervention had robbed the battle of its original meaning.
Frankly, Xia Mu felt a growing resentment towards Mew.
This wasn't the first time; strictly speaking, this was the third time Mew had broken its promise to him.
But it was Mew, otherwise Xia Mu wouldn't have bothered saying another word.
It can only be understood that Mew's personality is childlike; it will act involuntarily whenever something happens that it doesn't want to see.
Not only Xia Mu and Mega Beedrill, but everyone present and all the Pokémon looked at Mew.
Everyone wanted an answer.
'Buzz~~' (Are you going to intervene, Mew?)
'Mimi~~' (Please wait a moment, Beedrill.)
Mew first stopped Mega Beedrill from continuing its attack, then turned to look at the heavily injured Mewtwo, its eyes filled with pity.
To it, Mewtwo was already one of its own.
'Mimi~~Miyo~~Miyo Miyo~~' (You lost this battle. Do you still want to fight? Even if you continue, the result won't change. You still can't control your power, so you can't beat Beedrill and Xia Mu.)
The Pokémon understood Mew's words, and Xia Mu understood them too.
As for the others, Meowth acted as the best translator, at least letting everyone know what Mew meant.
The persuasion to get Mewtwo to admit defeat helped everyone calm down.
Xia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief; at least Mew hadn't said anything that truly offended him.
