Before Luke transmigrated inside Ash's body, the previous Ash had met with Mewtwo.
At that time, Mewtwo had just been created from Mew's DNA inside a lab. He was like a newborn child. His views had not yet been fixed, but he was led astray by that idiot Giovanni.
But Mewtwo broke through Giovanni's imprisonment and came back to the place where he was born, New Island. He rebuilt the old research laboratory back and made it better, used tricks and invitations to attract Trainers such as Ash, and used the technology that allowed it to be born to copy their Pokémon's DNA and make a replication of them.
His Pikachu also has a clone, but his personality is completely different from his.
At that time, Ash almost paid the price with his life in order to prevent the meaningless battle between Mewtwo and Mew to continue on.
So for Ash, the feeling that Mewtwo gives of is very different.
With Charizard, Ash no longer needs to walk through the river below. He soars into the sky on Charizard and easily flys over the steep mountains and cliffs.
There is a lake on top of this mountain, an island in the middle of the lake, and a magical spring in the island!
The water in this lake alone gives people an infinite sense of comfort, as if their mind has been washed and refreshed. The forests in the mountains also nourish countless Pokémon through this lake area.
The spring water on the island has a magical effect.
Mewtwo, with the Pokémon it copied, lives in seclusion on an island in the lake.
"Pika?"
Pikachu on the shoulder seemed to feel something and suddenly sounded an alarm.
A bolt of lightning suddenly shot up from the island and tried to hit Charizard and Ash directly. However, Charizard's fist suddenly flashed with electricity.
Thunder Punch, it blew away that Thunderbolt with one single punch!
Charizard become more and more domineering recently with his new power!
After landing safely, Charizard always stood in front of Ash, and it could feel the terrifying aura it had seen before somewhere.
It was a powerful existence that made it completely unable to parry at that time!
Ash patted him on the back, "Charizard, it's okay, you can take a rest in the meantime!"
Taking back Charizard, Ash looked at the Pikachu that suddenly launched an attack. This should be his copy of Pikachu.
Well, let's call it Pikachu No.2.
"Little guy, why is there such a deep grudge against us!" Ash walked over without any precautions.
Pikachu No.2 still looked wary, but Ash just picked him up, and then another Thunderbolt swallowed Ash whole.
Ash endured the current and gently touched his tail.
Suddenly, Pikachu No.2 went stiff, and the current stopped.
Ash and Pikachu's bonding value has gradually accumulated to a high level. Plus, they get along day and night for a long time. It is easy to get any Pikachu under control by him.
"Human, you're here!" Mewtwo came out from the depths of the island's cave, seemingly prepared for Ash's arrival.
The current image of Ash's is very interesting, with a Pikachu on his shoulders and in his arms.
Mewtwo was also a little surprised. Pikachu, who had always been against it and had a grudge against humans, but was so obedient as to lie in Ash's arms.
"Mewtwo, I have always had the feeling that we will meet again in the future!" Ash looked at Mewtwo with a small smile. This was his favorite Pokémon even before he came here!
"You have changed a lot, and you have even awakened Psychic Abilities, however it is too weak!" Mewtwo could feel Ash's Psychic, compared to his. . . .
It's completely incomparable, not even an order of magnitude.
"I suddenly woke up with this power. I don't really know how to use this and make it stronger, it's just good enough for now!" Ash felt very amazed now that he could chat with Mewtwo so calmly, "By the way, you don't need to call me human, my name is Ash!"
"Ash, I will remember your name human." Mewtwo nodded and memorized it.
It looked up at the full moon in the sky. Groups of Butterfree were flying over and soaring in the sky. They had completed their evolution and were about to fly from Mt. Quena to the distant world that is left for them to explore.
Looking at those Butterfrees, Mewtwo felt something in his heart, "That's life, that's Pokémon, but we are different. We are clones, against natures wish. How should we live? Ash, can you answer me this?"
Looking at Mewtwo, whose mind was full of melancholy and confusion, Ash also felt something.
'Are you trying to escape on your own from this reality?' Ash thought a little.
But Mewtwo is so stubborn that he believes that he can establish correct views on his own words and become a pioneer in building a pacifist Pokémon world?
Ash smiled bitterly, hugged Pikachu No.2, and suddenly asked, "Mewtwo, look at these two Pikachu, how are they different from each other?"
Mewtwo looked at the two Pikachu on Ash.
One was lying on his shoulder, and the other was lying in his arms. Ash pinched its tail, and the whole mouse became numb.
Before Mewtwo could answer, Ash let go of Pikachu in his arms.
Pikachu No.2 immediately straightened up, but did not jump out of Ash's area. He looked at Mewtwo and screamed a few times.
"Do you think that living in hiding here is the same as living in a cell?"
"But we are cloned Pokémon, not real Pokémon!" Mewtwo always thought this stubbornly, and his identity as a clone bothered him.
"Mewtwo, take a good look. This is a life, flesh and blood. They have become independent individuals the moment they are born. Pikachu has independent thoughts and believes that living here is like being stuck inside a prison!"
"This is not the idea of my Pikachu, but the idea generated by it himself! They are real life, real Pokémon!" Ash said.
. . . . . .
Neither Ash nor Mewtwo knew that at the bus stop where Misty and Brock was, there was another guest coming for some reason, a young lady with a pretty figure and a bit of rashness.
Not only that, the Rockets trio who had been following them also created a hot Air Baloon to climb over the steep mountain.
Brock and Misty are always worried about Ash's wellbeing. He has brought his strongest lineup now. No one will believe that there is no danger in what he is doing!
They took Molly on board the Rockets trio's hot Air Baloon, and in addition to that bold and pretty girl.
"Sister Misty, is Big Brother okay?" In fact, it was Molly who clamored to find Ash. After Ash left, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep at all.
Misty could only hug her gently, "Don't worry, Molly. Ash is strong. Ash also contacted us just now and said that he is on the island in the middle of the lake. Let's go find him now, okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
However, is this mountin know for being so tall and steep so easy to climb?
Hell nah.
As soon as the Air Baloon ascended, it encountered strong winds, which blew the Air Baloon around and made it impossible to control the direction of where it was going and going to land.
Everyone was just focusing on keeping themselves firmly in place, but they didn't notice that the reckless yellow-haired girl was holding a high-tech telescope to check the situation on the island in the middle of the lake.
She used the thermal energy detection on the telescope to find Mewtwo's figure, and Ash who was beside it!
"Mewtwo, confirm!"
"Team Rocket's elite troops are on standby, let's go!"
