After driving back Gallade, Archer began issuing orders to his subordinates.
"Don't worry about me, block Mewtwo's movements first."
As the Haze gathered once again around him, Archer's expression grew increasingly cold.
Casting a murderous glance toward Terrance, Archer felt a heavy weight settle in his heart.
Mewtwo—this time, the target was mainly Mewtwo, not the troublesome Trainer before him. If they couldn't restrain Mewtwo, their side would be at an even greater disadvantage.
Under the influence of the Z-Waves, countless layers of energy suppressing Mewtwo's power flew in like chains. Faced with Team Rocket's technological weaponry, Mewtwo naturally regarded it with disdain.
"Is this all you've got?"
After spending some time observing and seeing through the essence of the electric waves, Mewtwo let out a cold snort. It swiftly calculated the most effective countermeasure; under its control, psychic energy gathered into a transparent shield.
"Magic Coat!!"
The impact of the Z-Waves seemed to serve as nourishment for Mewtwo's Magic Coat, making the transparent shield radiate with dazzling power.
"Now, taste your own medicine."
Once the Magic Coat had absorbed enough power, Mewtwo's icy telepathic voice echoed in the minds of every Team Rocket member.
The next moment, the Magic Coat reflected the endless barrage of psychic beams, transforming them into countless sharp spikes that shot toward the helicopters in the sky like a hail of arrows!!
"Too bad, you still underestimated how fast Mewtwo can improve."
Seeing Mewtwo figure out how to counter the electric waves, Terrance looked mockingly at Team Rocket's small-time boss, Archer, and snapped his fingers.
He would break the Haze domain through sheer power.
Mega Altaria descended in an instant!
Fairy energy filled the sky, bursting into countless light beams, denser and more powerful than the psychic spikes reflected by Mewtwo, and began sweeping toward the haze domain created by Archer's Pokémon!
Almost instantly, the strange Haze technique sustained by Crobat and Weezing through various means was pierced by Dazzling Gleam. The two Pokémon caught within it had no power to resist and were struck down by Mega Altaria.
In the next second, Mega Gallade soared forward, finishing them off with a decisive strike—an absolute knockout!
"How is that possible—"
Archer's face froze in shock. Even a Top Trainer would find it nearly impossible to dispel the haze domain created by his two Pokémon in such a short time.
Yet this Pokémon just like Altaria had effortlessly shattered the haze domain and completely overpowered both Crobat and Weezing!
"Our opponent is a Top Trainer, the plan's gone wrong!!"
Archer's pupils shrank in disbelief, his heart growing cold. Terrance was only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet possessed such overwhelming strength. It was beyond comprehension.
To break his haze domain through sheer force alone, even an Elite Four's main Pokemon would struggle to do that. Could it be that this Pokémon had already reached the level of a Champion?
"Who is he—" was the only thought left in Archer's mind before he was swallowed by a surge of psychic power.
On Terrance's side, Altaria, Castform, Gallade, and Mismagius all began to display their strength. As Mewtwo used its psychic power to seize control of every helicopter, the four Pokémon joined in the final assault against the Team Rocket members, ensuring that not a single one escaped.
This group of Team Rocket members was unexpectedly weak; the only one with passable strength was Archer. However, even he was clearly outmatched when facing Terrance's side.
If a few ordinary investigators had been sent here instead, they would probably be smiling bitterly. Unless the League dispatched an Elite Four member, subduing Archer would have been nearly impossible. The remaining Team Rocket grunts were all battle-hardened elite Trainers, full of tricks. If not for encountering a monster like Mewtwo, any police force would have been in serious trouble.
These Team Rocket members, whom Terrance called "grunts," could only rely on those special electric waves to resist Mewtwo. But once Mewtwo neutralized the electric waves, they completely lost any means of fighting back.
Mewtwo's immense psychic power was so strong that, focused on a single point, it could instantly crush and blast apart a helicopter. Once Mewtwo could no longer be restrained, the opposing side was practically already dead. If Terrance hadn't spoken at the last moment, Mewtwo might really have annihilated every one of them.
Led by Archer, all thirty-six Team Rocket members were bound by tangible shackles formed from Mewtwo's psychic power, utterly powerless to resist.
Looking down coldly at the captured Team Rocket members, Mewtwo's telepathic voice echoed: "You should be grateful that I made a decision earlier, not to kill anyone for now."
"And you, tell me, why did you ask me to spare them?"
Although Mewtwo had calmed down somewhat after the joint efforts of both Terrance and Mew, deciding to temporarily seek the meaning of its existence, its attitude toward Terrance was still far from friendly.
However, compared to the beginning, Mewtwo's attitude toward him had improved considerably.
Perhaps that was partly because Terrance had stepped in to help it fight Team Rocket.
"Do you remember the photo I showed you before?" Terrance asked. "If I'm not mistaken, the person in that photo has their freedom being restricted by Team Rocket. I want to see if we can get any useful clues from these people."
Although Terrance knew the chances were slim, he still didn't want to give up any possible lead.
However, after Mismagius performed a brief Hypnosis, Terrance regretfully discovered that none of them knew anything about Master Victor's whereabouts.
Helpless, Terrance could only accept the reality.
"By the way, Mewtwo," Terrance suddenly said, "it's better not to let too many people know about what happened here. This incident involves too many things…"
"You don't need to remind me," Mewtwo replied telepathically: "I will erase all their memories of this entire period and restore them to the time before they received the invitation."
Hearing that, Terrance was momentarily stunned.
Mewtwo moved with incredible speed. In the next moment, Ash and his friends—who were hiding far away during the fierce battle between Altaria and Mewtwo—were suddenly enveloped by a mysterious power. Under the hypnosis of that strange power, it felt as though they had forgotten something, their minds growing hazy and drowsy.
"Wait for me."
The telepathic voice echoed in Terrance's mind, causing him to look with some surprise at Mewtwo, who was flying toward Leafport City, carrying all the humans and Pokémon from New Island except for Terrance's own Pokémon and Mew.
It seemed that Mewtwo intended to minimize the impact of this incident through large-scale memory erasure. Although a few traces might remain, with nearly everyone involved having their memories wiped, only a small number of people, including Team Rocket, would still know of Mewtwo's existence.
"Mew? Mew?"
As Altaria and Gallade withdrew from their Mega Evolution states, Mew, who had been watching the spectacle the whole time, fluttered back over and began circling the two Pokémon.
"With your power, it should be easy for you to mimic Mega Evolution, right?"
Terrance said with a smile, gazing at Mew, which was hailed as a Mythical Pokémon. He had just witnessed Mew's strength, which could absolutely be described as terrifying. There was no way he would believe that a being like this couldn't harness its own life energy.
"Mew~~ Mew." Mew nodded, a look of curiosity lighting up its face, and Terrance suddenly felt a pang of exasperation.
Right before his eyes, Mew transformed directly into an Altaria and, imitating Altaria's previous actions, performed a self-Mega Evolution.
Not stopping there, Mew then transformed into a Gallade. Without relying on any Mega Stones, the Gallade form it took on also underwent a spontaneous self-Mega Evolution. From its aura to its appearance, even Terrance almost couldn't tell the difference.
