Chapter 221: Night Talk with Mewtwo
Mewtwo wasn't asleep at the moment. Unlike Mew, it wasn't free and lazy. The words of the Team Rocket Professor were deeply etched into its mind. It had to become the strongest Pokémon in the world. To surpass Mew and be worthy of its name, it had to work hard.
So, at this moment, Mewtwo was meditating.
Hearing a knock Outside the Door, Mewtwo opened its eyes. Its mental power instantly spread out. When it saw that the person Outside the Door was Bai Feng, it floated off the bed and opened the Door.
"Do you need something?" Mewtwo asked expressionlessly.
Mewtwo couldn't speak human language. Like Mew, it communicated with humans through telepathy.
"I want to help you examine your body," Bai Feng replied.
"Examine body?" Hearing this answer, Mewtwo frowned. The phrase "examine your body" reminded it of Team Rocket's scientists. It really disliked being touched.
Just as Mewtwo was about to refuse, Bai Feng quickly added, "I just finished examining Mew too. It's actually just helping to give your body a massage. It will make you feel very relaxed and can also help you become more powerful."
Bai Feng's words hit home for Mewtwo. Firstly, Mew had just done it, and secondly, it could help it become more powerful.
Hesitating for a moment, Mewtwo stepped aside, inviting Bai Feng into the room.
After entering the Room, Bai Feng pointed to the bed and said, "You can lie on the bed."
Since it had already invited the person in, Mewtwo had nothing to hesitate about. It lay down stiffly on the bed according to Bai Feng's instructions, its hands symmetrically placed on its abdomen.
Seeing its appearance, Bai Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mewtwo had already closed its eyes, but upon hearing Bai Feng's laughter, it opened its eyes again, frowning unhappily, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing," Bai Feng shook his head. "You... don't need to be so nervous. We're going to do a massage. You can relax your body, the more relaxed the better."
Hearing this, Mewtwo's tense muscles slowly relaxed. It was indeed nervous because it had never been in such close proximity, in this kind of state, with a human or a Pokémon.
"Then let's begin."
Bai Feng moved a chair to Mewtwo's bedside and then took one of its hands.
Bai Feng keenly noticed that the moment he touched Mewtwo's finger, Mewtwo's body tensed up again.
Bai Feng softly said to it, "Relax, relax. What we're about to do is something very comfortable. You just need to enjoy it."
Under Bai Feng's soft whispers, Mewtwo slowly relaxed its body again, and its breathing became steady and long. Just then, Bai Feng's Golden Finger energy entered Mewtwo's body.
At that moment, Mewtwo involuntarily let out a soft groan. Its closed eyelids began to tremble slightly. One arm grabbed the bed sheet, while its legs and tail involuntarily straightened. Even its toes couldn't help but curl up.
Bai Feng asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it very comfortable?"
Mewtwo tightly pressed its mouth shut, not answering Bai Feng's words. It was trying its best to suppress its body's reaction, but soft, intermittent groans still involuntarily escaped its mouth. Its silver-white skin had completely turned pink at this moment.
It was simply too comfortable. Mewtwo, which had only been born for a short time, had never experienced this special feeling.
Are human massages this amazing? Mewtwo couldn't help but think.
Seeing that Mewtwo didn't speak, Bai Feng didn't ask further. He shifted his attention entirely to its body.
Mewtwo's internal energy circuit was very similar to Mew's. It was indeed a Pokémon born from Mew's genetic recombination. However, its energy circuit was more complex than Mew's, especially the parts that extended outwards, where the difference from Mew was greater.
The quality of Mewtwo's internal energy was almost the same as Mew's. Because it had only been born for a short time, the energy was also very clear, without a trace of impurities. The difference between it and Mew was that it had been born for too short a time, and its energy storage was far less than Mew's. At this time, it was only slightly higher than Senior Ninetales.
Mew belongs to the Mythical Pokémon category, a type of Legendary Pokémon distinct from Sub-Legendary and Legendary Pokémon. The powerful ones among them can be very powerful, even able to contend with Legendary Pokémon; the weak ones can be very weak, unable to even defeat Sub-Legendary Pokémon.
This depends on the length of time the Mythical Pokémon has existed. The more ancient the Mythical Pokémon, the more powerful it is.
The Mew visiting Bai Feng's Home is a Mythical Pokémon that has existed for a very long time. Otherwise, it couldn't possibly know so many secrets. Its power is naturally beyond doubt.
Overall, Mewtwo is currently no match for Mew, but its potential is stronger than Mew's. With enough time, surpassing Mew should not be a problem.
In addition, Bai Feng's most important discovery was that at the energy circuit core of Mewtwo, two white crystals were quietly levitating above it. One had intertwined pink and blue spiral patterns in the center, and the other had intertwined white and purple spiral patterns in the center.
When Bai Feng used his Golden Finger energy to envelop them, the two crystals began to absorb both the Golden Finger energy and Mewtwo's own energy simultaneously, and then expelled it. Mewtwo's energy actually became more pure and clear at double the efficiency.
This made Bai Feng's eyes lit up. Didn't that mean that with his assistance, Mewtwo could become stronger at double Mew's speed?
If combined with Experience Candy, Mewtwo could grow rapidly in a very short time!
As Bai Feng used his Golden Finger energy to envelop the two crystals Inside the body of Mewtwo, Mewtwo finally couldn't suppress its body's reaction any longer and let out a joyful sound. Even Mew next door heard it.
Mew felt an itch in its heart. It also savored the feeling of Bai Feng giving it a massage.
Bai Feng also discovered that although Mewtwo's internal energy was pure, it was very violent. They didn't flow quietly in the energy circuit like the energy in other Pokémon's bodies. Even when active, they were only like a rushing river.
Mewtwo's internal energy was more like wild beasts, wild beasts constantly roaring and howling. They surged freely in the energy circuit, tearing at each other. This would bring a great burden to Mewtwo's energy circuit.
Fortunately, when they converged with Bai Feng's Golden Finger energy, they would gradually be soothed and slowly become stable and gentle.
Mewtwo could naturally also keenly sense the changes in its body. When the internal energy calmed down, its mood seemed to become peaceful.
Humans are indeed very powerful! It sighed in its heart. Not only can they create me, but they can also make me feel so comfortable.
Seeing Bai Feng concentrating on helping it manage energy, Mewtwo suddenly asked, "What do you think is the meaning of life?"
Here it comes! It really came!
Bai Feng's heart tightened. After all, he couldn't escape the soul question from Mewtwo!
"Is this problem very important?" Bai Feng asked, looking into Mewtwo's eyes.
"Very important!" Mewtwo replied with a firm gaze.
"Hmm..." Bai Feng pondered for a while and replied, "I think it should be making yourself happy!"
"Making yourself happy?" Bai Feng's answer stunned Mewtwo.
"That's right. Everyone's understanding of the meaning of life is different. In my opinion, the meaning of life is to make yourself happy, doing things you like every day, being with people or Pokémon you like, eating things you like... that is happiness."
"But the person who created me told me that the meaning of my birth is to become the strongest Pokémon in the world." Mewtwo recalled the spell-like sound of the Team Rocket scientist in its mind.
"But that is others' expectation of you, not your own. The so-called meaning of life is something that belongs solely to you as an individual. It should not be decided by others, but depends on how you yourself perceive it," Bai Feng thought for a while and said cautiously.
"My own understanding?" Mewtwo softly murmured.
"Yes," Bai Feng nodded. "Although the way you were born is a little different, in essence, there is no difference between you and me, or any other human or Pokémon. Our birth was not decided by ourselves.
However, when we came to this world, we became a brand new individual. Regardless of who created or gave birth to us, we are ourselves and belong only to ourselves. We have our own thoughts, the ability to think independently, an independent will, and the right to decide what kind of life we want to live in the future."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Mewtwo fell into deep thought.
"Deciding the meaning of my own life?"
"Yes," Bai Feng nodded firmly. "You have only just been born, and your understanding of the world and yourself is still very shallow. You can actually think about it slowly. You still have a lot of time. Why rush to understand the meaning of life? No one is forcing you, and no one can force you. When you have more contact with this world, learn more knowledge, and understand yourself better, perhaps then you will naturally know where the meaning of life lies.
The understanding that the person who created you imposed on you, the understanding of the meaning of life that I told you, those are others' things. You can reference them, but please don't get entangled or confined by it. Your thoughts are independent and free, so please learn to use it yourself.
Promise me, don't get entangled in the process of your birth and the mission others have given you. Also, slow down your pace in pursuing the meaning of life. Try to look and feel this world, and then learn to think."
Perhaps it was because the energy in its body had returned to peace, which also stabilized Mewtwo's emotions. It looked at Bai Feng's expectant eyes and nodded as if possessed.
Seeing Mewtwo agree, a smile appeared on Bai Feng's face. At this time, his conditioning of Mewtwo's energy also happened to be finished, so he reached out and patted Mewtwo's head, saying, "Very good, you're a good child."
"Then you should rest well. Sometimes, appropriate rest is also very important."
Bai Feng stood up, waved at Mewtwo, then walked out of its room and helped it close the door.
After Bai Feng left, Mewtwo quietly looked at its hand. That was where Bai Feng had held it just now, and Bai Feng's body temperature still lingered there.
As the temperature on its hand disappeared, Mewtwo felt a sense of loss in its heart.
It sat up from the bed. Just as it was about to sit cross-legged and start meditating, it remembered Bai Feng's words before he left, so it silently lay back down.
It stared at the ceiling for a while and fell asleep without realizing it.
It didn't know how long it had slept. When Mewtwo opened its eyes, the sun was already high outside. Golden sunlight shone through the Window, illuminating the entire Room brightly.
Today's sunlight seemed a bit beautiful.
Mewtwo came out of the Room and only learned from Lopunny and Hatterene's conversation that it had actually slept until the afternoon. The other Pokémon had already eaten lunch long ago.
"Excuse... excuse me... where are... where are Bai Feng and Mew?"
Mewtwo suddenly appeared beside Hatterene and asked in an unnatural tone.
Hatterene was startled by the sudden appearance of Mewtwo. "They... they're still sleeping! You... you're awake? Do you want something to eat? I'll prepare it for you."
Mewtwo wasn't good at communicating with other Pokémon, so it felt a bit awkward and lost at the moment. But thinking of the delicious Experience Candy from last night, it silently nodded.
Hatterene pointed in the direction of the Restaurant. "Then you sit there and wait a moment, I'll be right there." After saying that, it turned and ran away. Talking to a powerful Pokémon, it felt a lot of pressure.
However, what it didn't know was that the moment it turned around, a hint of redness appeared on Mewtwo's face and ears.
Don't misunderstand, it wasn't that Mewtwo fell in love with Hatterene at first sight. Although Mewtwo was powerful and had very high intelligence, it was still just a baby. It didn't understand anything about love. It was just purely shy.
Who would have thought that the seemingly cold Mewtwo on the surface actually had a somewhat introverted nature?
Mewtwo followed Hatterene's instructions and sat upright at the Dining Table, waiting quietly. Its appearance looked surprisingly obedient.
Soon, Hatterene came over with a dining plate containing Experience Candy. After placing the dining plate in front of Mewtwo, it said:
"Eat. If it's not enough, just call me. Don't be shy. I heard Bai Feng say last night that you'll also be staying at Fangxing Mountain, so just treat this place as your Home. Don't be restrained. Everyone will be partners from now on."
Mewtwo didn't quite understand the meaning of home and partner, but it was too embarrassed to ask, so it could only nod gently. Originally, it didn't actually plan to stay at Fangxing Mountain, but after experiencing getting along with Bai Feng last night, it changed its idea.
This place is good!
"Eat slowly, I'll go back to being busy. Remember to call me if it's not enough, calling Lopunny is fine too." After saying that, Hatterene turned and left.
As soon as Hatterene left, Mewtwo quietly sighed in relief. This Sister was a bit too enthusiastic. Social phobia says it can't handle it.
Mewtwo pinched an Experience Candy and put it in its mouth. The unique taste exploded in its mouth. It happily squinted its eyes.
Could this be the happiness Bai Feng spoke of? Mewtwo couldn't help but start thinking. After listening to Bai Feng's words last night, it unconsciously began to look at every thing in life with new eyes.
Halfway through eating, Mewtwo suddenly felt a very strong gaze peeking at it. It looked down and saw a Ninetales hiding beside the table, drooling all over the ground.
Seeing Mewtwo look at it, Senior Ninetales couldn't help but ask, "Um... is it delicious?"
