Chapter 158 The Origin of Mewtwo and Gardevoir, The Sacrificed Pokémon Egg.

An experimental subject? Mewtwo? What is that?

Ash and his friends heard everything Blaine said, but they couldn't understand a word Blaine said. What was the experimental subject? And what was Mewtwo?

"Since you obtained Ralts, and not only hatched her, but also found me, that must be fate. Because of this fate, I will tell you everything. Perhaps only you can stop Sleeve." Blaine sighed and began to tell Ash and the others a story, a story of a researcher making a fool of himself.

When Blaine was young, he was an exceptionally talented trainer. In less than two years, he won a tournament championship and reached the Elite Four in ten years. Such talent would still be considered top-tier even today.

After becoming a Champion, Blaine tried to become the Kanto Champion, but he was completely outmatched by the champion from that year and eventually retired from the sport. The champion from the same era as Blaine was Professor Oak.

"Banley, were you forced to retire by Professor Oak?" Ash couldn't help but interject. If this kind of gossip got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. It might even stay on the trending topics online for three days and three nights.

"What do you mean by being forced to retire by him? I was too lazy to bother with him. In the end, I gave up my position as a Champion and became a Gym Leader. I didn't give up on becoming a Trainer. On the contrary, that guy has completely lost his Trainer demeanor and is now focused on his damn research." Blaine retorted irritably.

Judging from Blaine's tone, he and Professor Oak seem to have a pretty good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken in that tone.

"No wonder Professor Oak said you're an old acquaintance."

"You know Professor Oak? Oh right, you're from Pallet Town. That old man is from Pallet Town, I'd completely forgotten about him." Blaine belatedly realized that Ash and Professor Oak lived in the same town, it would be strange if he didn't know them.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. What kind of luck did this Oak have? Living in a small rural town, he actually managed to find a trainer with such talent. In just three months, he had reached this level. His talent was even more exaggerated than his own and Oak's back then.

Furthermore, Ash possesses the luck that trainers need most. The strength of a Pokémon's talent largely depends on luck. After all, in the wild, how can you know whether the Pokémon you catch has good or bad talent?

While it's true that you can't succeed without talent, the reason why a slow bird can fly first is precisely because it's a slow bird!

Having a talented Pokémon means you can avoid many detours and grow faster than the average trainer—that's the reality.

Ash's success today is not only due to his talent as a trainer, but also to the presence of Pokémon with superior abilities.

Although Blaine didn't know how talented Ash's other Pokémon were, Gardevoir's talent was absolutely unquestionable; it was one of his painstaking "creations."

"Oh, right, Professor Oak asked me to pass on a message to you. He said he knows what you're thinking, but there won't be any results if we don't sit down and have a proper talk. He said you can come to him if you want to talk."

"Damu asked you to pass on a message to me, how did he know you could see me?"

"He said that with my luck, I might bump into someone on the street who could be you."

Bob: —

Goodness, that's incredible luck! Just how lucky is this kid that he could make Oak say something like that, and it actually happened! This kid just happened to bump into him on the street, and then Gardevoir followed the trail and led him here.

"That guy is still so naive. Let me finish what I was saying." Uncle Xia shook his head, not dwelling on the matter any longer, and continued speaking.

After retiring from his position as Elite Four member and becoming a Gym Leader, Blaine has been living a leisurely life, occasionally guiding younger trainees and engaging in research that interests him, which can be considered a form of retirement.

However, this leisurely life didn't last long before he shattered it with his own hands.

He came across a study on genetics and became completely engrossed in it, even neglecting his dojo.

The Crimson Lotus Gym had no staff or acting gym leader, so it was closed for most of the year and rarely received trainers until it reopened some time later.

During that time, Blaine made initial progress in genetic research and was able to create extremely powerful elves through gene fusion!

However, although this research enabled the creation of powerful elves shortly after their birth, the created elves were unable to survive.

The research stalled for a long time without any progress, and even Chaper wanted to give up, but he couldn't let go of his persistence.

Until one day, an organization came to him and provided him with the most crucial tool for gene fusion—the Dream Gene!

Mew is a mythical spirit, the legendary ancestor of all spirits. It contains the genes of countless spirits within its own genes, so Mew can transform into any spirit, even a legendary beast, and can use the unique skills of legendary beasts.

However, this is just a legend. In reality, Dream is not as exaggerated as it is claimed, but its genes do have an extremely terrifying inclusiveness.

With the help of the Dream Gene, Blaine's gene fusion experiment was finally a success!

At first, it was just ordinary Pokémon, but later it was even able to copy pseudo-legendary Pokémon!

Moreover, the cloned spirits generally have at least one A-level talent, but none of them have an S-level talent.

But this achievement is also extremely terrifying. A-level talent is one in a million in the entire Pokémon world, but he can now mass-produce it.

This means that trainers no longer need to painstakingly search for highly talented Pokémon in the wild. Once the replication technology matures, Pokémon with A-grade potential can be mass-produced.

This way, many talented trainers won't just fade into obscurity because they don't have a Pokémon with the right talent.

"How could you do that! If something like that really happened, the whole world would be in chaos!" Xiao Gang finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Blaine's wish may seem noble, but if it were to spread, it would not be a good thing for the whole world.

"I don't know why I had that thought back then. Now I realize how stupid I was. And the cost of gene cloning is actually not low. Even if it is technically possible to mass-produce, the materials are in short supply."

"And most importantly, I later discovered that the cloned sprites could only stay at the elite level. Only a very small number of them broke through to the professional level, and then they could not make any progress."

Ultimately, what stopped Chapel from continuing that research was not his calmed mind, but the harsh reality.

Although the cloned sprites, after being harmonized with the Dream Gene, will no longer die suddenly, their level cannot break through to a higher level at all.

What's the use of having the best qualifications then?

Theoretically speaking, this situation shouldn't have occurred. The reason why the bottleneck couldn't be broken through was probably because there were some genetic defects. So at that time, Blaine set his sights on the legendary god!

After going through great hardships to obtain the Moltres's genes, Blaine attempted to replicate it, but the Moltres exploded before it even took shape!

Gods cannot be replicated, or rather, they have not found a way to replicate them.

Blaine did not give up. Since he could not replicate the existing divine beasts, he would create one himself!

Utilize the genes of fantasy!

In the end, he really did it. He created a Pokémon that possessed terrifying power from birth. The Pokémon looked very similar to Mew, but had even more terrifying destructive power than Mew!

The moment it was born, that Pokémon destroyed an island! That's a power that only Champion-level Pokémon possess, and that Pokémon had it the moment it was created.

And this is not the end for that elf. Not only does it have an extremely high starting point, but it also possesses infinite potential, unlike ordinary cloned elves which are subject to limitations.

"The look in his eyes that I saw at that moment made me realize that I had created a monster! It was at that moment that I suddenly woke up and realized what I had done." Blaine's words were full of regret. He regretted doing the genetic experiments and even more so the creation of that monster-like elf.

"Born to be a champion—that's really insane." Ash also marveled at the Pokémon's power. It was a level that most people could never reach in their entire lives, yet that Pokémon had achieved it at birth. It could only be described as monstrous.

His actions since his debut have always been described as monstrous, but compared to the elf created by Blaine, he is nothing.

"The die is cast. It has already been created and is heavily restricted and protected by that organization. Even if I wanted to destroy it secretly, I couldn't. Moreover, not long after, that Pokémon had grown to the point that I couldn't destroy it anymore. This is the origin of the first experimental subject, Mewtwo, which means surpassing Mew."

So that's the reason why Mewtwo came about. Ash and his friends finally understood why they had never heard of this name before. It's because Mewtwo is a completely artificial Pokémon!

That is even rarer than some divine beasts. In terms of rarity, perhaps only those divine beasts with divine authority can rival it.

After all, Mewtwo's existence is unique; it has no race, it doesn't exist now, and it probably won't exist in the future.

"What about Gardevoir? Blaine, you should have already woken up by then and given up on the genetic experiment, right? Why is Gardevoir number two?" Ash continued to ask.

"That's right. I stopped conducting genetic experiments at that time, but your Gardevoir was an experimental product created at the same time as Mewtwo. However, what makes her different from other Pokémon is that she wasn't created using genes, but rather she was injected with Mew's genes during her egg stage."

"When I first injected the Mew gene, the Pokémon egg was on the verge of collapse. I used various methods to stabilize the egg's condition, but it didn't hatch for a very long time. It was like a dead egg, and I lost hope in it. Then I turned my attention to Mewtwo."

"But after I came to my senses, I chose to leave that organization. Mewtwo was heavily protected by them and could not be destroyed at all, so I had to choose another method, which was to extract a part of Mewtwo's spiritual essence while it was in the incubation tank and then inject it into the Pokémon egg."

Ash and his friends were shocked. The so-called Pokémon egg was naturally the Pokémon that Ralts had given birth to. They never expected that Ralts' original Pokémon would be so difficult to obtain. Not only was it on the verge of death when it was still an egg, but it was also later infused with the spiritual essence of Mewtwo.

"Mewtwo was already at Champion level back then, wasn't it? You poured Champion-level mental energy into the Pokémon egg, weren't you afraid the egg would explode?!" Brock couldn't help but scold. Even though he wasn't a researcher, he understood this principle. One was a Champion-level Pokémon, and the other hadn't even been born yet. The power of the two was completely unequal.

Imbuing an unborn Pokémon with Champion-level mental power—that's bound to cause serious problems!

Blaine sighed and said, "I had no choice at the time. The extracted spiritual essence had to be stored somewhere, otherwise it would return to Mewtwo. And that Pokémon egg also had Mew's genes in essence, and it was a being of the same origin as Mewtwo, so theoretically it could bear Mewtwo's spiritual essence."

"Why! Why treat Pokémon like this! They are living beings with flesh and blood. Just because of some so-called theory, are you going to kill a life?!" Ash finally couldn't hold back anymore. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted at Blaine.

Even if Gardevoir wasn't his Pokémon, he still couldn't remain calm after learning that another Pokémon had been treated this way.

Ralts already had a tough time during its egg stage, and now this is going to make things even worse for it! Ash doesn't even want to imagine what would happen to Ralts if something were to go wrong.

Xia Bo pursed his lips, a look of regret on his face. It was clear that he regretted what he had done, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. What was done was done and could not be erased.

"You don't understand how terrifying Mewtwo is. If he continues to grow like that, he will be the strongest Pokémon in the world, bar none, until a Pokémon with divine status appears. Even champion trainers like Leon wouldn't be a match for him once he grows up."

"Why do you think it's called Mewtwo? It's because it can truly grow to surpass Mew."

"For this reason, even at the cost of other Pokémon's lives, I will limit Mewtwo's potential."

Ash clenched his fists tightly. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was Professor Oak's friend, he would have punched him right now!

Ash cannot accept the idea of ​​sacrificing other Pokémon just to limit Mewtwo's potential!

Moreover, the one Blaine was supposed to sacrifice was Gardevoir, who is now sitting next to him!
