"Actually—"
Kawaki looked at Mewtwo and slowly said, "Do you know, Mewtwo, that humans are actually a type of Pokémon?"
Upon hearing this, Mewtwo was instantly stunned, its eyes filled with even greater confusion.
"Humans—are also Pokémon?"
Kawaki nodded and explained, "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, this world was empty, until one day, a creature named Mew was born."
"Their bodies contained the genes of all Pokémon. Later, with the passage of time and different living environments, Mew gradually evolved into various Pokémon, as well as humans."
"However, as humans, possessing intelligent minds and the ability to create objects, they lost the ability to use moves. But even today, some humans still exhibit atavism and can use Psychic abilities like Pokémon."
For example, a certain Gym Leader named Sabrina in the Kanto Region.
"So—I am actually a Pokémon?" Mewtwo mumbled to itself.
"You could say that. Actually, I am also a Pokémon, it's just that my appearance looks different from yours," Kawaki said.
He understood Mewtwo's current thoughts quite well. It didn't matter whether it was human or Pokémon; what was more important was its self-perception.
It wasn't Mew, nor was it human; it was Mewtwo, the only Mewtwo in the world.
Little Mewtwo looked thoughtful. Perhaps due to the human genes within its body, it now exuded a philosophical aura.
"More importantly, you are just yourself," Kawaki continued.
Mewtwo looked up and gazed through the screen.
"For example, if a Bewear believes itself to be a Bewear, then it is a Bewear. I am Kawaki, and you are Mewtwo.
We are all just ourselves, unique existences born into this world."
"Myself—unique—"
Upon hearing this, before Mewtwo could react, Little Ai, who was beside it, was filled with confusion.
"But we are all clones created by humans, all duplicates of the original," Little Ai said. Although she inherited Little Ai's memories, she wasn't the real Little Ai, but Little Ai No. 2.
"Then do you consider yourself Little Ai?" Kawamuku retorted.
He looked at the girl on the screen. If he remembered correctly, this girl, created by humans, would eventually die due to a failed experiment.
In the vast New Island laboratory, only Mewtwo would survive.
"Of course not!" Little Ai subconsciously shook her head.
"So, you are just yourself, never anyone else, just as Mewtwo is just Mewtwo, and not Mew."
Kawaki was quite able to accept this point.
"No matter how we are born into this world, as long as we can think, can see the beautiful scenery of this world, the sun shines on us, and the wind blows through our fur, then it means we are already a part of this world, and this world has already accepted us."
Upon hearing these words, Little Ai and Mewtwo both fell silent.
Both of them were currently trapped in the New Island laboratory. Apart from Little Ai's original memories, they had never seen more of this world's scenery.
So, would the sun of this world shine on them?
The two of them couldn't help but start pondering this question.
Mewtwo didn't know the answer to this question, but Little Ai, possessing human consciousness, knew clearly that one day, they, these created beings, would leave the laboratory and enter this world.
But by then, only Mewtwo would likely be left.
Because she knew very well that her and the clone projects for Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander had all failed. It wouldn't be long until, when the bioelectricity in their bodies disappeared, they would vanish from this world.
At this moment, Little Ai's heart was filled with reluctance.
She couldn't bear to part with Mewtwo, her friend, and couldn't bear to leave it alone in this world.
And the humans in the laboratory were untrustworthy; they merely treated Mewtwo as an experimental subject.
Before she disappeared, she had to help Mewtwo find someone who could take good care of it!
But Little Ai was trapped in the laboratory, with limited contact with humans, and she didn't understand them.
Thinking of this, Little Ai suddenly looked up at the human opposite her.
"Um—we haven't asked for your name yet," Little Ai asked.
"Name?" Kawaki was startled for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Kawaki, my name is Kawaki."
"Kawaki," Mewtwo and Little Ai repeated, then committed the name to memory.
After a pause, Kawaki turned his gaze back to the two of them: "I currently operate a Breeding House in Fallarbor Town, Hoenn Region. If you ever need any Helping Hand in the future, you can come here to find me."
"Okay, I've got it!" Little Ai said.
She seemed to have something on her mind.
Kawamuku noticed, but didn't ask.
Neither of them stayed on the computer for too long and soon returned.
While Mewtwo was asleep, Little Ai secretly slipped back into Kawaki's computer.
This time, she was alone.
"Mr. Kawaki, there's something I'd like to ask of you," Little Ai said.
Kawaki raised an eyebrow: "Tell me."
"Although I don't know how you knew about Mewtwo's existence—"
Because, under normal circumstances, all research in that laboratory was kept absolutely confidential from the outside world. Apart from the leader of that organization, no one else should have known about Mewtwo's existence.
However, Little Ai didn't care about this, because she could feel that the person in front of her had no ill will towards them; it was evident from his eyes.
"I and Bulbasaur and the others are about to disappear. After we disappear, Mewtwo will be alone, and I'm very worried. If possible, I'd like to ask you to help take care of it. I know this is very sudden, but this is Little Ai's last wish," the girl pleaded.
"Disappear?"
Little Ai nodded: "Our clone experiment failed, and we cannot survive for too long. Just yesterday, my clone entered a critical state, and the last of its bioelectricity will likely only last until dawn. At that point, we will completely vanish from this world. This might be the last time we meet."
As a transmigrator, Kawaki naturally knew this outcome.
But looking at the fragile girl in the dress before him, he couldn't help but frown: "Is there no other way?"
Upon hearing this, Little Ai's face showed a smile: "Thank you for caring for Little Ai, but we have reached the end of our lives. Mewtwo is my good friend, and we can't bear to leave it alone in this world."
Saying this, Little Ai looked up: "So, I want to ask for your Helping Hand, to help take care of Mewtwo, and let it know that it is not alone in this world!"
