To be honest, the speed of Mewtwo's change in attitude even surprised Natsui a little.
However, it also showed from the side that although its personality was a bit paranoid, it wasn't a malicious Pokémon. It was just temporarily blinded by hatred, and when it witnessed the goodness in the world, its convictions would naturally be shaken.
After a moment of thought, Natsui asked back, "What do you want to know?"
After a brief silence, Mewtwo asked, "I want to know who you are. Why do you know my name? Why are there so many things about the future in your mind?"
Are you the encyclopedia of a hundred thousand whys? Why so many questions...
Natsui couldn't help but inwardly complain. However, the fact that Mewtwo could ask this clearly showed that it hadn't obtained too many memories from his mind back then.
So, next, how should he trick... oh no, how should he answer its questions?
His mind raced. Natsui didn't answer it immediately but instead turned to look at Ash, Misty, and the others around them.
At this moment, including all the Pokémon, their expressions were dazed. Under the influence of the particles of light, the memories of this place were slowly dissipating from their minds!
Moreover, these light particles, carried by the breeze, were spreading beyond the island, showing a trend of growing stronger!
After some thought, Natsui smiled and said, "I can answer your questions, but before that, I think we should send Ash and the others back to the mainland first..."
...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A fierce wind blew through Vermilion Harbor, and huge waves swept over the lighthouse. The scattered spray crashed heavily onto the pier.
The passenger terminal was still overcrowded. Trainers and their Pokémon gathered inside, and the salty smell of the sea and rain, mixed with the complex body odors of various Pokémon, filled the slightly enclosed space with an indescribable, strange scent.
When Ash groggily opened his eyes, he was surprised to find himself leaning back on a chair!
Rubbing his eyes, he looked to his left and right and saw Natsui, Misty, and Brock sitting beside him.
"How did I fall asleep?"
His thoughts were a bit jumbled; he couldn't remember what had happened before at all.
He just felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar, a feeling like yesterday once more, as if he had gone through a cycle, and the things that had happened were being replayed once again!
Just then, Misty and Brock yawned and woke up as well.
"Strange, how did we get here?"
Facing their confusion, Natsui spoke lazily, "Are you all sleep-addled? Weren't we hiding in here to escape the storm?"
Hearing him say that, although Ash and the others vaguely felt that something was off, they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.
"But, this is Vermilion City, right? Why did we come to this city?" Misty tried hard to remember, but it was as if a piece of her memory was missing. She couldn't recall what had happened at all. "And Natsui, why are you here too?"
Natsui smiled, "Didn't you all say you would come to Vermilion City to see me after getting all the badges? That's why I came to the harbor to pick you up! What? Did you all forget after taking a nap on the chairs?"
Was it really like that?
Misty was about to ask again when she saw a commotion in the crowd ahead.
Many trainers and travelers were crowded together, surrounding Officer Jenny and Miranda. And looking closely, the three trainers, including Corey, who had fought alongside Ash and the others on New Island, were also among them!
Facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Officer Jenny said loudly, "Sorry everyone, the ferry service is temporarily suspended due to the storm. Please wait here for a while. The harbor will resume operations as soon as the storm passes!"
"Officer Jenny is right."
Another female voice suddenly came from behind the crowd. When the people parted to make way, the person they saw was unexpectedly Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center!
"But please don't worry, everyone!" Joy showed her professional smile and said to the crowd, "No matter how long this storm lasts, our Pokémon Center is ready to provide free food and lodging for everyone at any time!"
Although Joy had been missing for a long time, neither Officer Jenny nor anyone else seemed surprised by her reappearance!
Even when Natsui looked at the wall, the missing person notice that was originally posted there had long since vanished without a trace!
Under the power of Mewtwo and Mew, not only were the memories of the people on the island erased, but all related information was also altered, as if nothing had ever happened!
Mew, Mewtwo...
It seems that just like their names, they truly possess dream-like, magical powers!
And besides them, perhaps only Natsui and his Pokémon in this world still remembered what had happened on New Island.
At that moment, Ash suddenly seemed to notice something. He ran to a nearby floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the sky.
"Look, what kind of Pokémon is that!?"
Natsui and the others walked over to the window and looked in the direction Ash was pointing. They could only see, between the thick layers of clouds, a strange Pokémon diving into the clouds at an incredible speed.
However, because it was too far away, no one could see clearly what it was. Only Natsui recognized its identity at a glance—it was Mewtwo, who had just sent them back here!
Before leaving, Natsui had also talked a lot with Mewtwo.
Although he held some things back, he still revealed some of what Mewtwo wanted to know. As for why he knew so much, Natsui frankly told Mewtwo that he was not from this world.
Interestingly, Mewtwo accepted the fact of transmigration very quickly. On the other hand, his Haunter was extremely incredulous, its mouth hanging open in shock, looking so ridiculous it seemed as if it could fit an entire basketball in its mouth!
And it was precisely this honesty that earned Natsui Mewtwo's approval.
Not only did its hostility completely disappear, but it developed a sense of kinship with Natsui, who was also not originally from this world. After a deep conversation, it actually came to regard him as a friend!
Before sending Natsui back, Mewtwo even stated in all seriousness that if he ever encountered any difficulties in the future, he could definitely ask for its help!
Although gaining Mewtwo's friendship was something to be happy about, compared to Mewtwo, Mew piqued his interest more.
Not only was Mew's design very cute, but more importantly, its power was also immense.
It was just a pity that after Mew and Mewtwo jointly used their memory-erasing power, just as Natsui was about to pull out a Master Ball to catch it, Mew flew off to who-knows-where and disappeared!
Helpless, Natsui could only give up on the opportunity this time.
Although missing the chance to catch Mew was indeed a bit regretful for Natsui, it was a matter of give and take. Besides, Natsui believed that somewhere along his future journey, in some corner of the world, he would definitely meet Mew again!
