"Can I go back and see Mewtwo?"
Upon hearing Kawaki's words, Little Ai quickly asked.
Even though her consciousness had transformed into a virtual one, what she worried about most was still Mewtwo in the research facility.
Kawaki nodded, not stopping Little Ai.
The current Little Ai was somewhat similar to an AI.
The Pokémon world was incredibly mysterious.
Not only did it have the world where humans lived, but also Giratina's Distortion World, the Spirit World where souls gathered, and even the Network World.
Pokémon like Porygon were born in the Network World.
This point was somewhat similar to Digimon next door, Kawaki thought.
Little Ai didn't know what Kawaki was thinking at the moment, because she was too worried about Mewtwo, afraid that Mewtwo would fall into extreme sadness after she left, so she directly returned to the research facility on New Island through the network.
But now she was just a virtual data stream, without a real body, and could only view Mewtwo by accessing the surveillance permissions within the research facility.
The Network World was filled with an extremely massive data stream, and Little Ai's consciousness connected to the surveillance.
The next second, she saw Mewtwo through the camera.
In the container filled with nutrient solution, the young Mewtwo was quietly immersed, its head bowed, eyes closed, looking as if it were asleep.
"Mewtwo…"
Little Ai murmured.
She tried to call out to Mewtwo, but no matter how she called, Mewtwo showed no reaction.
She could no longer sense Mewtwo's brainwaves.
This indicated that Mewtwo was currently in a state of deep sleep.
In this state, Mewtwo had no consciousness, and she could no longer pull Mewtwo into the Network World or consciousness space as she had before.
What should she do?
Little Ai's memories made her instinctively want to seek help from Dr. Fuji.
But she was not the real Little Ai now; she was merely a clone created by Dr. Fuji.
That person worked for that evil organization, so what good would it do even if he knew the situation?
Little Ai was at a loss for a moment.
She stayed in the vast Network World and watched for a long time, from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn, trying to wait for Mewtwo to wake up in this way.
But from beginning to end, Mewtwo never opened its eyes again.
Little Ai suddenly realized that Mewtwo probably wouldn't wake up in a short time. There was currently no one in the research facility who would harm Mewtwo, and Little Ai was not worried about Mewtwo's safety by leaving it there.
Finally, Little Ai took a deep look at Mewtwo, then returned along the Network World to Mr. Kawaki's computer.
"You're back?"
Seeing the young girl appear on the screen, Kawaki asked, "How is Mewtwo?"
"Mewtwo has fallen into a deep sleep," Little Ai replied, "I can't contact it."
Her tone was filled with disappointment.
Kawaki wasn't too surprised; he had already anticipated this outcome.
It was the same in the anime.
Because of the demise of Little Ai and the cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo fell into extreme sadness.
To prevent its power from destroying the research facility, the researchers, led by Dr. Fuji, injected it with a tranquilizer.
During its long, deep sleep, Mewtwo forgot Little Ai and everything that happened in its infancy.
When it awakened again, it was already Mewtwo.
Next was the time for the plot of the movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back."
But it was still too early; there were still five years until that day arrived.
Kawaki looked up at the young girl in front of him and asked, "Little Ai, what are your plans for the future?"
The Network World was vast and constantly evolving, so Little Ai didn't necessarily have to stay in the Breeding House.
However, Kawaki would respect her wishes no matter what.
Upon hearing this question, Little Ai seemed a bit lost and uncertain.
"I don't know…" Kawamuku, "I don't know where else I can go. I was created as a clone, I…"
Kawaki was thoughtful.
Although Little Ai knew a lot in front of Mewtwo, who was like a blank slate, she was still just a little girl under ten years old at the end of the day. "In that case, you can stay in the Breeding House!" Kawaki said, "Mewtwo will wake up one day. I have already foreseen its future, and you will eventually be able to meet again."
"However, even though you were created as clones, from the moment you were born, you gained your own consciousness. No one in this world can change your will. At this point, you are yourselves, not clones."
Little Ai listened intently to these words, then nodded heavily: "I understand!"
She said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Mr. Kawaki!"
"Then, welcome to the team, Little Ai," Kawaki said with a smile, "From now on, you will live here! Currently, I and the Pokémon are running this Breeding House together. Uh, this is my research facility, located underground beneath the Breeding House."
"But rest assured, our research facility here is not one that conducts experiments on humans and Pokémon, but rather one that studies the special evolution of Pokémon."
Little Ai listened with understanding, then nodded.
"I know Mr. Kawaki isn't that kind of person!" Little Ai said, "Because Mr. Kawaki helped me and Mewtwo."
Kawaki smiled; in this regard, Little Ai was very much like a little girl under ten years old.
Kawaki simply arranged for Little Ai and then returned to the surface to continue business.
Little Ai, meanwhile, remained in the computer of the underground research facility.
Having just emerged from the research facility, she knew nothing about many things in the world.
Aside from the memories left by the original Little Ai, that part was also very, very small.
What else could she do now?
There wasn't much to do in the Network World either.
Out of gratitude for Kawaki, and that inexplicable will to grow up and learn more, Little Ai actively began to absorb the knowledge stored in the Network World.
Not just the knowledge saved on Kawamuku's computer, but the vast amount of information stored in the entire internet ocean.
Pokémon names, types, attributes, ecological data, herbalism, medicine, nutrition, science, biology, physics—
Breeding House, Pokémon, Breeder...
Information flowed into Little Ai's mind like mud oxen entering the sea.
For Little Ai, who had already transformed into a virtual AI, learning these things required no mental effort; they naturally integrated with her.
It was as if she had been born knowing this knowledge.
In the mysterious Network World, Little Ai was growing rapidly.
