But Mewtwo remained indifferent, blasting the two away: "To prove that we are the strongest!"
Teddiursa leapt forward again, questioning: "But, what does proving we are the strongest achieve? Afterward, don't we still have to live in this world? Why can't we just get along and live together already?"
Mewtwo was left speechless, only able to snort coldly, as its psychic energy transformed into a focused Psycho Cut and blasted out.
With Mew's Helping Hand, Teddiursa's figure flickered, dodging that Psycho Cut.
Then Mew replaced Teddiursa, and the two most powerful Pokemon in the world clashed once more.
At this moment, a silhouette suddenly rushed in, running between Mew and Mewtwo.
"Enough already!"
Mew and Mewtwo both paused slightly.
Mew instinctively tried to retract the move, but it was too late.
Two entirely different energies collided on Ash's body. In the violent explosion, Ash's body turned into a statue and slowly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Witnessing this scene, all the surrounding humans and Pokemon were stunned.
Mewtwo frowned deeply, speaking with extreme anger: "Foolish! A mere human trying to stop our battle!
"Pika Pika!"
A Pikachu ran anxiously forward, reaching Ash's side, repeatedly calling his name, trying to revive him with a Thunder Shock like always.
But even after depleting its body of Electric Type Energy, the person who had fallen could not stand up again.
"Pika Pika!"
Pikachu let out a cry both painful and sorrowful, tears uncontrollably falling onto the ground.
Witnessing this scene, Teddiursa was moved.
"But..."
It turned its head and realized that the surrounding Pokemon had stopped fighting at some point.
They looked at that human and Pikachu, starry tears dripped from their eyes.
Then, a miraculous scene occurred.
The starlight began to gather around Ash, accompanied by a warm glow, Ash slowly opened his eyes.
Pikachu's eyes lit up: "Pika Pika!"
"Pikachu!" Ash, seeing the battle had stopped, knew he had succeeded and joyfully embraced Pikachu.
"Is that... Life Dew?" Miss Joy murmured softly, knowledgeable as always.
"Life Dew?" Brock looked over in confusion.
Miss Joy: "It's a Water Type move, expressing emotional energy in the form of dew drops."
"A long time ago, a Pokemon lost its life in battle, and its Trainer, who had spent every day with it, used this move in extreme grief."
"The Trainer's tears fell on that Pokemon, and the Pokemon awakened."
"Humans... can use Pokemon moves?" Misty and Brock were dumbfounded.
————
In mid-air, Mewtwo silently observed the scene below.
It didn't fight anymore, only feeling its mind in turmoil, deeply conflicted.
"Why?"
Beside it, Mew looked over: "Miu." (They are all life, part of this world, whether human or cloned Pokemon.)
Mewtwo closed its eyes and suddenly said: "Indeed, you and I both exist, both are... Pokemon."
"Perhaps it's best if no one knows about this, perhaps it's best forgotten."
"We were all born, we live, we need to continue living... somewhere in this world!"
Mew tilted its head, looking at Mewtwo, who seemed to have realized something.
A blue light shone from Mewtwo's body.
The cloned Pokemon below also began to shine with a blue light, following Mewtwo into the clear sky.
Seeing this, both Mew and Teddiursa followed along.
Mewtwo glanced sideways, looking at the fortunate Teddiursa and Mew.
Only then did it remember to ask: "Who are you?"
Teddiursa: "..."
Mew: "..."
The two Pokemon glanced at each other, then both sighed.
Teddiursa: "But!" (We are the Heroic Expedition Team traveling the world!)
Mew covered its mouth, stifling a laugh.
Mewtwo was puzzled: "Heroic... Expedition Team?"
Teddiursa explained: "But, but." (We travel while helping Pokemon companions in need, we've helped many Pokemon! Currently, it's just the two of us in the team.)
Mewtwo roughly understood.
It responded with an "Oh," turning to gaze into the distance, saying no more, beginning to silently reflect on something.
Time seemed inconsequential, and they landed on a deserted cliff.
The scenery here was exceedingly beautiful, the steep cliffs were a strong deterrent to any human visits.
Mewtwo looked around and spoke: "We are not ready to be discovered by humans, so we'll live here for now. What about you? Do you want to live with us?"
Teddiursa shook its head: "But!" (There are many Pokemon in this world waiting for us to help!)
Mew nodded in agreement: "Miu!"
Mewtwo was slightly taken aback: "I see."
The Heroic Expedition Team prepared to leave.
But before departing, Teddiursa took out its camera.
It called over Mewtwo, saying: "But!" (Everyone, let's take a group photo!)
Mewtwo was puzzled: "Group photo?"
Teddiursa explained about the camera and photos.
