Chapter 1118: A True Battle of Gods!
“.”
Red, who had been observing the battle, didn’t say much, just quietly watching the increasing number of Kecleon.
Although the auras of these creatures weren't particularly strong, the fact that they had been completely immune to Pikachu's power and had even managed a one-hit KO was still somewhat astonishing.
"These Kecleon... there's something strange about them."
Even Red, encountering such a scene for the first time, became deeply interested.
But for Mewtwo, who hadn't appeared in a while, his actions were simple and brutal.
"Get lost!!"
A single word—Divine Will!
A deafening roar instantly exploded and echoed in the minds of all the Kecleon!
Divine Will is a unique ability of gods. Especially when they don't wish to speak, they can radiate their willpower, forcing a target to accept it. This carries an extremely oppressive force.
Just that one command, "Get lost," was enough to repel most targets below the level of an ancient deity.
"Waaa!!"
"Waaa!!"
However, the surrounding Kecleon showed no signs of fear or dodging, instead clamoring noisily.
"How can a robber be so arrogant?!"
"Give us the money!!"
"You stinking robber!"
Mewtwo could understand the language of Pokémon.
Being called a robber to his face, one after another... Mewtwo had never suffered such an insult.
"!"
Veins bulged on his forehead, and a dangerous blue light, visible to the naked eye, covered Mewtwo's body.
"Waaa!!"
The special purple Kecleon jumped directly in front of Mewtwo, its expression fierce.
The law of the streets: a one-on-one battle.
"!!!"
Mewtwo was utterly enraged, his arm muscles trembling. How dare it challenge his noble self to a one-on-one battle?!
He raised his palm, his three-fingered hand closing slightly.
Vmmm!!
That dangerous blue psychic energy instantly engulfed the Kecleon, as if to crush the target directly into a ball of flesh.
"Master Mewtwo, don't kill it...!"
Ash quickly reminded him from behind.
Although these strange Kecleon had provoked them first, killing was going a bit too far.
He had seen Mewtwo display his power before; this shiny Kecleon would probably be crushed into a rubber ball...
"..."
Mewtwo didn't answer, his psychic power still active.
This was merely thirty percent of his power...
However, in the next moment, it seemed the Color Change ability activated, turning the Kecleon into a Psychic type.
Vmmm!!
Its body unexpectedly burst forth with a psychic barrier from within, blocking Mewtwo's terrifying psychic power.
"!!!"
Mewtwo's fury intensified. How dare it use psychic power in front of him?!
Vmmm!!
The high-frequency vibrations grew more intense, and the space around the Kecleon was filled with an immense gravity...
Mewtwo increased his force to fifty percent of his power...
Then sixty percent, seventy percent...
Eighty percent!!
Rummmble!!!
At this moment, the entire world began to tremble. Even the once-clear sky was devoured by dark clouds, as if it were doomsday.
In that instant, everything in the eyes of Ash and Sawyer took on a dim, shaking filter, a horrifying sight.
A true battle of gods?!
Who would have thought that a casual stroll down the street would turn into a war of this magnitude?!
But even against eighty percent of Mewtwo's power, the Kecleon was still holding its ground.
And even during the stalemate...
The Kecleon's body suddenly turned a dark purple.
This instantly reduced the power of the surrounding psychic energy, and the Kecleon violently broke free from Mewtwo's psychic bind.
The Kecleon had changed into a Dark type.
"Color Change?! Impossible! Isn't that a Psychic-type move?" Ash blurted out in shock.
At this moment, he had even forgotten how ridiculous it was that a Kecleon could block Mewtwo's attack, and was instead pondering the logic of its ability.
"Dee. Kecleon's second ability: Protean. When it uses a move, its own type changes accordingly," the Pokédex automatically prompted.
It was a machine; it couldn't sense the pressure.
One of Kecleon's abilities changes its type passively, the other changes it actively.
One must know that the Dark type has complete immunity to the Psychic type—of course, this rule only applies when the power gap isn't too vast.
Once the power gap reaches an extreme, even a Fairy type can't become immune to a Dragon's Roar.
Even Mewtwo was stunned for a moment by his opponent's sudden use of Protean.
Seizing the opportunity, the Kecleon took the initiative and shot forward, its body transforming into an eerie black light.
Swish!!
Then, a fist slammed directly into Mewtwo's face, leaving a clear imprint of a punch.
Super effective!!
This move was Sucker Punch, considered the Dark-type equivalent of the Aerial Ace move.
"!!!!!"
Having been solidly punched, with a sharp pain now radiating from his cheek, Mewtwo's rage climbed to its absolute peak.
It was as if a hundred volcanoes had erupted at once; the overwhelming malicious intent caused the wind and clouds to change color.
In his fury, Mewtwo completely tossed aside the earlier reminder to "not kill."
He would destroy everything!!
Fwhoosh!!
A highly condensed blue energy orb rose in his palm, and he violently threw it forward.
The moment this move was unleashed, a chill ran down Ash's entire body.
He could already sense it. The power this time was on par with Precipice Blades, a force that could blast things apart from the sky... perhaps even stronger!
But after launching this strike, Mewtwo instantly regretted it.
One hundred percent power!!
This was a full-power strike, unleashed without even undergoing Mega Evolution!
Under the force of this energy ball, forget a single Kecleon; even a towering mountain would be crushed into powder.
If this move hit, not only would this Kecleon be vaporized, but the nearby Fortree City would also be reduced to ruins!
"Tch!" Mewtwo cursed under his breath, preparing to use Instant Transmission to appear in front of the Kecleon and block his own full-power attack.
"It's fine. You don't need to block it."
However, a voice that suddenly rang in his mind made Mewtwo halt his movements.
It was Red's voice.
Red was never wrong... but this also stirred a great sense of competitiveness in Mewtwo.
He was eager to see just how this Kecleon could possibly block his one-hundred-percent attack!
Boom-boom-poof!
And as the psychic energy ball struck the purple Kecleon, the earth-shattering, world-ending explosion Ash had anticipated did not occur.
This energy ball, comparable to a nuclear bomb, landed on the latter, and then, like an ordinary water bubble, it gradually melted into the Kecleon's body...
It was finally completely absorbed, vanishing without a trace.
That supreme pressure instantly dissipated into thin air.
"Waaa, waaa~!"
The Kecleon patted its chest, indicating it was a little itchy.
It then once again fixed its dangerous gaze on Mewtwo, raising its claws as if to attack.
Mewtwo: "..."
This time, it wasn't just Ash and the others who were numb with shock; even Mewtwo was frozen on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
