Chapter 83 The best way to subdue it is to beat it into submission.
Watching Xia Mu approach, Mewtwo felt a strange emotion.
This feeling even made her somewhat afraid.
She couldn't defeat this human before it…
"No! I am Mewtwo, the strongest Pokémon created using the most precious Pokémon, Mew! No one can defeat me!"
Destroying her own inner fear, Her psychic power steadily built up.
"You've already come this far, and you still can't distinguish reality? You refuse to accept your clone identity, yet you claim to be the strongest Pokémon created using Mew. Isn't that ridiculous?
"Also, you truly know nothing about this world. There are many beings stronger than you, and many champion-level Pokémon trainers among humans.
You think you've gained a sense of existence by defeating a few trainers on this godforsaken new island, and you're so arrogant? You've seen too little."
"If you refuse to submit, then fall completely! Mega Beedrill, give her one last fatal sting!"
With that, Xia Mu gave the command.
The combo attack wasn't used again because once the process was interrupted, the combo couldn't hit continuously, and its power would revert to its base value.
Xia Mu also didn't have Mega Beedrill use Cross Scissors, intending to try other moves to see how much damage it could deal in her Mega Evolution state.
Xia Mu had actually had Beedrill use this move when he was in charge of the Viridian Gym; defeating an opponent would greatly increase its damage.
According to the game, that's equivalent to a direct 3-stage Attack boost.
Mega Beedrill received the command, her eyes suddenly changing, and the stingers on her tail erupted with a terrifying cold light.
Fell Stinger—this move actually requires Focus Energy to increase its critical hit rate to reach its full potential.
But at this moment, even without Focus Energy, Mega Beedrill could lock onto Mewtwo's weak point and accurately hit its vitals.
A deafening 'BOOM!!!' resounded.
After enduring another attack from Mega Beedrill, Mewtwo finally couldn't withstand it. Forget about retaliating; Her consciousness went black, and she fainted.
'Buzz~~!!' Beedrill was proclaiming her power.
Everyone and all the Pokémon focused their attention again.
They were still awestruck by the power of Mega Beedrill and wanted to know how Xia Mu would capture Mewtwo.
Even an Ultra Ball couldn't do it, so a regular Poké Ball was clearly ineffective.
Suddenly, Sonia had an idea and shouted to Xia Mu, "Xia Mu, use that Poké Ball from the lab!"
It was a good idea.
Theoretically, a Mewtwo Ball created by Mewtwo should indeed have a chance of capturing a Pokémon.
Xia Mu took out a Mewtwo Ball, took a deep breath, and threw it.
However, the Mewtwo Ball didn't capture Mewtwo upon contact, surprising everyone, including Xia Mu.
After all, the previous Poké Ball had even managed to capture a Pokémon with an owner.
[It seems this Mewtwo Ball really can only be used by Mewtwo… Perhaps that capture was Mewtwo using its psychic powers to forcibly capture it, no wonder it could ignore the rule that owned Pokémon cannot be captured.]
Xia Mu sighed inwardly, and just as he was about to take out a Master Ball, Mew flew over again.
She kept talking, seemingly pleading for Mewtwo.
Xia Mu ignored it and pulled out a Master Ball.
Although he was heartbroken about losing his only Master Ball, using it to capture Mewtwo was part of his plan from the start.
"I said I was going to catch it. Mew, you have your considerations, and I have mine! If someone keeps changing their mind, they have no credibility." Since Mew couldn't catch it, Xia Mu figured he wouldn't listen to anything Mew said about waking up and trying to reason with it.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to tell Mew that not everything it did would be forgiven.
Even though it was Mew, it was still forgiven!
In truth, Xia Mu understood Mew, which was why he didn't directly confront it.
Mew acknowledged Mewtwo's existence, considering it family.
Now, Xia Mu's attempt to capture Mewtwo was like capturing its child.
Because of Xia Mu's words, Mew could only retreat in grievance.
It didn't know if this special Poké Ball could capture Mewtwo, but it didn't want to see Mewtwo captured either.
Until it witnessed Mewtwo being captured, the Master Ball emitting a dazzling starlight of successful capture, her expectations were completely shattered.
Xia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Capturing it was one thing, but getting Mewtwo to truly accept it was a long road ahead.
Taking the Master Ball from Lucario, which it had retrieved, Xia Mu felt a surge of emotion.
For him, this was the first legendary Pokémon he had captured in this world.
With Mewtwo, he would have a much better chance of fighting true legendary Pokémon in the future.
Mew approached, carefully examining the Master Ball.
It was somewhat anxious, worried that Mewtwo might die from the injuries it had just sustained.
Xia Mu didn't immediately release Mewtwo to heal it, but instead praised the Mega Beedrill that had returned to her side.
This battle was largely thanks to it; otherwise, defeating Mewtwo wouldn't have been easy. Even with Lucario's Mega Evolution, plus Arcanine and Gyarados, it would have been difficult to completely suppress it, unless one of them was raised to level 100 at any cost.
Having deactivated its Mega Evolution, Beedrill, while not seriously injured in the battle, was still quite exhausted.
Extreme battles consume a tremendous amount of stamina.
The gains from this battle were significant: defeating Mewtwo increased Beedrill's level by 2, and Lucario, having also battled Mewtwo at the start, shared the experience points and also increased by 2.
Although both increased by two levels, Beedrill actually gained several times more experience than Lucario.
The experience required to gain two levels at level 80 is far greater than that required at level 70.
He fed the her an Energy Cube and treated its injuries.
At this point, everyone gathered around with their Pokémon, wanting to get a closer look.
Having witnessed the whole incident, they remained relatively quiet, simply watching Xia Mu.
The Pokémon created by Mewtwo, however, huddled together, seemingly lost and unsure how to cope with their situation.
This is... a Master Ball! Xia Mu, you actually got your hands on this ball!
Sonia's words drew everyone's attention to the Master Ball in Xia Mu's hand, filled with curiosity and astonishment.
