It was precisely because of this 100% capture capability that the League officially prohibited its private manufacture and sale, and it was officially named the Master Ball.
Because they are not available on the market, Master Balls are unknown to the average person.
Even trainers who know of their existence can only obtain one by winning certain league tournaments.
"I got it by chance." Seeing Sonia's adorable, curious expression, Xia Mu didn't give a detailed answer, but simply said casually.
Immediately, he focused his attention on Mewtwo, his meaning clear: he wanted to release it and see how it fared.
This made everyone and the Pokémon serious.
Although it had been captured, how Mewtwo would change was still uncertain.
Even ordinary Pokémon might not be completely obedient after being captured, let alone a special Pokémon like Mewtwo.
"Everyone can relax a little, don't be so vigilant. Even if something unexpected happens, I can put it back into my Master Ball immediately," Xia Mu reassured everyone and the Pokémon. He
then opened the Master Ball, releasing the unconscious Mewtwo.
Mewtwo emerged from the Master Ball, still unconscious.
At this moment, no one was faster than Mew; it was more anxious than anyone else, its eyes full of concern as it approached Mewtwo, extending a paw to gently touch its body.
A soft light emanated from its body, a special light that seemed to possess healing power, enveloping Mewtwo.
In this situation, no one disturbed it, and Xia Mu did not speak to stop it.
If Mew could actually heal, it would be a good thing for Xia Mu, saving him the expense of buying healing items.
Mew continued its actions until it transferred a certain amount of its power to Mewtwo, pulling it out of its near-death state.
Mew had exhausted itself.
Its light gradually dimmed, making it appear utterly weary.
But it didn't give up, persisting in using its power to save Mewtwo.
At this moment, Nurse Joy approached and examined Mewtwo's condition.
After a series of actions, she quickly shook her head and said, "Although it's no longer in mortal danger under Mew's protection, there's no medical equipment here, so it still can't be treated. It must be sent to the Pokémon Center, but going back from here is too far."
The situation remained dire.
Xia Mu simply watched from the sidelines, not taking immediate action.
The others were even more indifferent.
Although Mewtwo was now captured by Xia Mu, its previous actions were hateful and couldn't be easily erased.
Besides, the cloning of Pokémon had already occurred and couldn't be changed.
"Let me heal it!" After a while, Xia Mu pretended to take out a Full Restore from his backpack.
Mew and Nurse Joy turned around, looking at him with suspicion, as did the others.
Xia Mu ignored them, opened the bottle of Full Restore, and poured the bright green liquid into Mewtwo's mouth.
Full Restores can not only completely heal injuries but also remove all abnormal statuses.
Under the effects of the medicine, Mewtwo's injuries recovered. Its intermittent breathing became steady, and it was no longer unconscious. Its consciousness gradually cleared, and finally, it slowly opened its eyes.
The effect of this medicine left everyone dumbfounded, especially Nurse Joy and Sonia.
Nurse Joy looked as if she had seen a priceless treasure; even the medicine specially supplied to Pokémon Centers did not have such a good effect.
Sonia was extremely surprised. She had already seen too many highlights in Xia Mu.
Not only was he strong, but everything he did revealed how excellent he was, especially every item Xia Mu took out, which was incomparable to anything on the market.
If it weren't for the fact that now was not the right time to ask, Sonia would have cornered Xia Mu for a proper talk.
Mewtwo sat up, looking around in confusion. When it saw Mew and Xia Mu, it almost lost control of its emotions again.
However, it didn't go berserk, because it remembered everything that had happened before, but it was still unwilling to accept reality.
But denying it was useless; it had been captured by Xia Mu and had truly become his Pokémon.
Even if it could choose to disobey, this fact wouldn't change, and it would only make it appear both weak and overly arrogant.
Rebel?
Even if its strength had returned to its peak, it felt it had no chance of winning even if they fought again.
At least not now.
As Xia Mu said, it still couldn't fully control its power.
It thought it was the strongest, that it was omnipotent, that it could replace everything.
In reality, its world was too small, and it knew nothing at all.
Completely defeated, Mewtwo suddenly saw the light. Things it didn't understand before, things it couldn't comprehend, now became naturally clear.
She turned her gaze to the other humans, then to the Pokémon she had cloned, and finally to the originals…
The atmosphere was unusually quiet. Xia Mu looked at Mewtwo, his heart filled with many emotions.
He didn't speak, but waited for Mewtwo to fully adjust and stand up.
Their eyes met.
"It seems you understand a lot," Xia Mu said.
Mewtwo was silent for a moment, using its psychic powers to establish a connection with Xia Mu's aura. After sensing Xia Mu's inner thoughts, it nodded.
"Emotions made me manic, made me lose my way. After experiencing this, I realized that it was all wishful thinking on my part… Although we are life forms created by machines, we are indeed Pokémon, a part of this world…
"Thank you, human… no! My master."
After saying this, Mewtwo lowered its posture, its eyes glancing at the cloned Pokémon again.
"Calling me master, and bowing like this, are you worried I'll dispose of them?" Xia Mu smiled.
Communication was seamless; many things could be accomplished with words.
Sometimes, the best way to subdue someone was through force.
Mewtwo was taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "Indeed, after all, they were born because of me. Without me, they wouldn't exist… Now I can't even protect myself, let alone them."
"Hmm." Xia Mu's opinion of Mewtwo had slightly changed; he was even more impressed that he could still think of these clone Pokémon at a time like this. "Actually, I'm not as bad as you think, and I don't need you to reluctantly call me 'Master.' Just call me by my name, or whatever you prefer. Of course, if you genuinely want to call me 'Master,' I don't mind. In my heart, I only see you as partners."
"…" Mewtwo was speechless, unsure how to respond.
Just then, Mew appeared between Mewtwo and Xia Mu, interrupting their conversation.
'Mimi~~Mimi~~' (It's so good that you understand.)
Mewtwo also felt apologetic towards Mew. Previously blinded by anger, it had now regained its senses and realized its mistake.
"Thank you, Mew."
This thank you made Mew happily soar through the sky.
