Pokémon: Starting From Zero as a Legendary Pokémon

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: If Mewtwo’s Here, Can Mewtwo Girl Be Far Behind?

”I’ll think about it carefully.”

Sora said:

”You can also try contacting more people who have similar ideas, gather them together, and discuss a feasible plan.”

Creating an entirely new system outside the framework of Gyms and League tournaments—for some reason, the idea genuinely excited Sora.

After all—who wouldn’t want to become the final boss?

With Sora’s strength, if this series really came into existence, then the final stage would definitely have to be guarded by him.

Maybe someday, Ash and his companions would even come to challenge it.

Sora had already begun imagining exactly how he’d make Ash experience true suffering.

”Oh right.”

”How long until the Indigo Plateau Conference begins?”

Mentioning Ash reminded Sora to ask about the Indigo League.

”The Indigo League?”

”The Kanto League tournament?”

Kimia hadn’t expected Sora to ask about that.

After all, Kanto and Kalos were quite far apart.

Kalos’s inspiration was France, while Kanto’s was Japan.

Though inspirations were merely cultural references and didn’t necessarily dictate geographical positioning.

In the Pokémon world, most regions were separated by oceans like miniature continents.

So it wasn’t as though Kalos had neighboring regions directly based on nearby countries.

”Let me check.”

Kimia took out her communicator and quickly connected to the League’s internal network before searching Kanto’s information.

Soon enough, she found the exact date.

”There are fifty-one days left until the Indigo Conference.”

”It’s not far off now.”

Kimia herself didn’t pay much attention to Kanto.

The Indigo League’s overall level wasn’t considered especially high compared to regions like Hoenn or Sinnoh.

”If you want to participate in a League tournament, I can help register you with the Kalos League.”

”You misunderstand.”

”I’m not planning to participate.”

Sora replied:

”There’s just a trainer I think highly of who’ll be entering this Indigo Conference.”

”I see.”

Kimia became rather curious.

What kind of trainer could earn Sora’s approval?

After all, despite Sora currently lacking status or title, his strength alone was undeniable.

In Kimia’s eyes, he was already comparable to a regional Elite Four member or Champion.

”If you encounter any trouble with the special battle zone application, don’t hesitate to tell me.”

Sora said:

”We’re partners now. Helping each other is only natural.”

”Mhm!”

After receiving Sora’s approval regarding the special battle zone, Kimia could finally move freely and begin utilizing the Azoth Kingdom’s connections within the League’s upper ranks.

She happily departed from the Nebel Plateau.

The moment she returned to the royal city, however, she immediately handed the task of contacting various factions over to Flamel.

Flamel: Am I even human? Am I really human?!

Leaving aside the playful chaos between the two close friends in the capital—

Sora continued considering his next plans.

’A little over a month...’

Sora calculated the timeline.

’Mewtwo Strikes Back should be happening around now.’

The events of Mewtwo Strikes Back occurred roughly after Ash had collected all eight Gym Badges and returned to Pallet Town for special training before the Indigo League.

As far as Sora knew, Ash spent around a month training there.

”Though he basically didn’t train anything useful...”

Doing the math, Sora estimated he probably wouldn’t make it in time for the events of Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Capturing Mewtwo?

If the opportunity arose, Sora certainly wouldn’t mind.

But Mewtwo’s situation was extremely troublesome.

The guy was filled with suffering and existential angst.

Always pondering questions like the meaning of existence and the purpose of life.

Sora honestly felt it’d be difficult to get along with him long-term.

Becoming friends would be fine.

But bringing Mewtwo along as part of his battle force?

That seemed unlikely.

”Compared to him, Mewtwo Girl is much easier to get along with.”

In the Pokémon anime continuity, there wasn’t only one Mewtwo—

there were actually two.

The second Mewtwo was likely cloned by Team Rocket after losing the original Mewtwo.

She first appeared in the Genesect and the Legend Awakened movie.

Because of her female voice actress, fans nicknamed her ”Mewtwo Girl.”

And she was also the version Sora preferred to recruit.

The two Mewtwos had very similar origins.

Both were cloned Pokémon who destroyed their laboratories and escaped.

But unlike Mewtwo Boy, Mewtwo Girl had once received kindness from wild Pokémon.

Because of that, she believed goodness genuinely existed and would actively help Pokémon and humans in distress.

Even her memory-erasing methods were gentler.

Instead of completely wiping memories, she merely blurred people’s impressions of her existence.

All in all—if given the chance, Sora would absolutely rescue Mewtwo Girl and recruit her into his team.

”Though right now, she probably hasn’t been cloned yet, right?”

”Hmm...”

Then Sora reconsidered.

”Actually, maybe not.”

”There’s no rule saying Mewtwo Girl had to be cloned after Mewtwo escaped Giovanni.”

”For all I know, she might already exist by now.”

Unfortunately, Sora had no idea where the laboratory that created Mewtwo Girl was located.

Otherwise, he could depart immediately.

With Ogerpon and Volcanion as his powerhouse duo, Sora wasn’t remotely afraid of Team Rocket.

As for Mewtwo Boy—

despite how absurdly powerful he appeared in the movie, casually altering weather patterns and the like—he was still in his developmental stage and hadn’t fully matured yet.

In a one-on-one fight, he might not necessarily withstand Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel.

And that was just the normal Ivy Cudgel.

If Ogerpon used multiple Terastallizations first...

Sora was honestly worried she might just beat young Mewtwo Boy to death.

”Forget it.”

”No need to get involved in that mess.”

Sora was somewhat wary of Team Rocket’s bizarre high-tech Poké Balls.

With Ogerpon and Volcanion’s strength, those devices probably couldn’t contain them.

But there was no reason to take unnecessary risks.

”The top priority right now is finding Calyrex first.”

Calyrex’s strength was absolutely no weaker than peak Mewtwo’s—

possibly even stronger.

This was a being who, thousands of years ago, after sharing its power and creating two divine steeds, still retained enough strength to relocate an entire forest’s worth of Pokémon during the Darkest Day meteor disaster.

Future sight.

Power bestowal.

Psychic abilities covering fifty kilometers.

A truly broken existence.

Most importantly—

Calyrex’s power essentially had no upper limit.

As long as enough people believed in it, Calyrex could continue growing stronger indefinitely.

Conversely, once faith vanished, it would weaken into a useless rabbit.

It was difficult to imagine just how terrifying Calyrex must have been at its peak, when the entire Galar region still worshipped it.
