"..."
The trainers below were all cheering for Ash, and they released all their Pokemon, ready to risk it all to hold off these two giant Pokemon. Even when faced with such a predicament, they had no intention of abandoning Ash.
This is their sense of responsibility as trainers!
Ash's hearing was quite good. He listened to the cheers below and showed a peculiar expression on his face.
You want to help me? There's no need because it will be over soon enough.
At this moment, Misty and Brock arrived late. They came on Misty's Dragonair. Over the past month and a half, Misty's Dratini had evolved and could now carry people in flight.
However, in terms of flight speed, it's still a bit lacking compared to Ash's Charizard. So Ash came ahead to scout the situation while Misty and Brock arrived a bit later.
If the situation was dire, Ash could still have them retreat quickly.
But the situation was about the same as what he saw on TV. From the images on television, Ash could basically judge that the strength of these two Pokemon should not exceed Champion level. They hadn't even reached Champion level. How could they possibly provoke Mewtwo?!
Unless they had the skills to cheat like his Lucario.
When Misty and Brock arrived, they also heard the enthusiastic shouts of the trainers below. She looked up at Mewtwo in the sky, and then at the two grotesque giant Pokemon, and showed an amused expression.
Those unaware might think that Ash didn't stand a chance at all, given the disparity in size, but Misty and Brock were already mourning for those two ancient Pokemon.
What a flashy display. As long as it's not at the Divine Domain level, isn't it just going to be completely slaughtered?
Help Ash? Ash even brought out Mewtwo; does this look like someone who needs help?
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I can handle it alone. Don't worry, it'll be quick." Ash responded loudly to the shouts below, then refocused his gaze on those two enormous Pokemon glaring at them, subsequently waving his hand to command.
"Mewtwo, psychic crush, obliterate it!" Ash's first target was the giant Gengar, deciding to deal with one first.
Mewtwo's eyes glowed a brilliant blue, and she slightly raised her palm, then suddenly clenched her three round fingers. The originally majestic and terrifying Gengar was, in an instant, covered by immense spiritual power.
The entire world seemed to quiet at this moment, and the next second, the giant Gengar exploded violently, shattering into countless dark energy fragments!
The already dim sky was directly dyed a ghostly purple!
In one encounter, the giant Gengar was instantly obliterated!
Only an invisible black dumbbell remained, hovering in the air for a moment before it plummeted downwards. Mewtwo noticed it and controlled it with telekinesis, instantly transporting it to Ash's hand through spatial displacement.
With quick reflexes, Ash seized the black dumbbell and swiftly stashed it into his space backpack.
This should be the medium Scholar Ash mentioned in the group. Although he didn't know what it did, it certainly wasn't something ordinary.
The trainers around, seeing this scene: ...
Their shock was unmatched, indescribable!
Goodness, what were they just saying? To join forces with Ash to defeat these two Pokemon? Where's the teamwork? That encounter alone instantly killed the giant Gengar that had previously tormented them!
No wonder Ash said he didn't need their help, that it would end quickly. Initially, they thought Ash was overconfident. After all, they'd experienced firsthand the strength of those two Pokemon; even a Champion couldn't deal with them easily.
But in front of Ash, the giant Gengar was as fragile as paper, instantly obliterated, leaving not even a speck behind!
"Not to be rude, but what exactly is that Pokemon beside Ash? To be able to instantly kill a Pokemon capable of rivalling the Elite level!"
"Correction, not just capable of rivalling the Elite, but Champion level. In my experience, the giant Gengar and the giant Alakazam have at least the combat power of Elite Peak. With their size, a Champion would definitely struggle against them."
"So you're saying that cat-like Pokemon instantly annihilated a Champion-level Pokemon?! And it's Ash's Pokemon?! Are you joking!"
"No joke, these two Pokemon undeniably have Elite Peak battle strength. That cat-like Pokemon is indeed over the top, but what intrigues me more is why the giant Gengar directly exploded... Does it mean that Gengar wasn't a physical being, but just an energy entity?"
As people marveled at Mewtwo's power, some expressed skepticism. Why did the giant Gengar explosively shatter? That didn't resemble a normal Pokemon being defeated. It was more like the effect of Dynamax being shattered, the fragmentation of an energy entity.
So, it suggests that Gengar wasn't a physical being but merely an energy entity?
This hypothesis gained a lot of support, considering how otherwise could such giant Pokemon exist in this world? Except for Dynamax, no Pokemon can grow to such monstrous size.
Thus, the explanation that these two Pokemon were energy entities is the most reasonable. As for where they emerged from, that's not within their concern.
They only wanted to know, can that cat-like Pokemon just as easily crush the remaining Alakazam as it did Gengar?
Soon, Mewtwo provided the answer.
...
In the sky, Ash hovered mid-air on Charizard, watching the Alakazam, which had grown huge due to the medium, with calm eyes.
At this moment, on Alakazam's giant fox-like face, beads of sweat seemed to appear, and at least its facial expression became quite panicked.
It seemed that though they'd perished and existed solely as energy forms through the medium, they retained some emotions from their past lives. Seeing its foe obliterated instantly, the biological instinct of fear and chaos affected it, causing something resembling sweat to roll down its forehead.
Mewtwo's presence indeed exerted overwhelming pressure.
Mewtwo was also curiously watching where Gengar had vanished. Actually, she was just following Ash's command to crush with psychic force; she hadn't intended to obliterate the foe directly.
But with just a little energy, the Gengar composed purely of energy exploded. Its frailty was one aspect, and Mewtwo hadn't expected it to be purely energy-based.
Even with her superpower, it couldn't be detected, likely due to the black dumbbell given to Ash, which she had earlier manipulated using her powers.
The black dumbbell was infused with rich Ghost Type energy, enabling the creation of the giant Gengar and making it undetectable as a non-living object.
That thing was useless to Mewtwo since it's a Ghost Type item, the Psychic Type's nemesis.
But if Gengar had it, then... perhaps the giant golden fox might have something similar on it as well.
"One more left, finish it, Mewtwo."
Mewtwo nodded, raised her hand aiming at Alakazam. The panic on Alakazam's face intensified, and its body kept retreating. It crossed the spoons in its hands, unleashing a strange beam of light!
Psybeam!
Mewtwo merely twitched her fingers lightly, and the Psybeam froze mid-air, then suddenly reversed, blasting back at Alakazam.
"Boom!"
The Psybeam, boosted by Mewtwo's own superpower, instantly exploded the giant Alakazam!
Just like Gengar before, Alakazam shattered, turning into a rain of golden light that cascaded down, like a golden shower.
