Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 925: Principled Mew



Chapter 925: Principled Mew



'My child!?'


Mew was completely stunned, its little mouth slightly agape on its adorable face, its expression filled with shock, disbelief, and a hint of joy.


'I, Mew, have a child!'


Looking at its expression, Julian thought to himself, 'Did it actually believe that?'


'You're genderless—how could you possibly have offspring?'


But from a genetic perspective, Mewtwo was created primarily from Mew's genes, so calling Mewtwo Mew's descendant wasn't entirely wrong.


Mew's sudden appearance once again triggered heated discussion among people worldwide.


---


> "What kind of Pokémon is that? It's pink and adorable!"


> "Its tail is so long."


> "Just now Champion Walker whispered something in its ear, where are the lip-reading experts, hurry up and translate!"


> "Lip-reader here: Champion Walker said Mewtwo is its child."


> "That insanely powerful guy is actually the child of this little cutie? Does that mean this little cutie is also a First-class Legendary?"


> "No way, no way!"


> "What’s this little cutie’s name?"


> "Lip-reader: Champion Walker called it Mew."


The entire world was in an uproar.


Although many Pokémon scholars who studied Legendary and Mythical Pokémon found them all to be genderless, they had never actually studied real First-class Legendaries.


However, since First-class Legendaries also fell under the categories of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, it was generally assumed they were genderless too.


But now Julian was claiming that Mewtwo was Mew’s child. Judging by their names, it did seem plausible, and if you looked closely at their appearances, there were some similarities.


Could it be that Mewtwo was truly Mew’s child? So, First-class Legendaries could actually have offspring?


> "If Mewtwo is already this strong, wouldn’t its parent, Mew, be even more powerful?"


> "I’m numb already. Before, First-class Legendaries were something we only saw in pictures online. And today, how many have appeared? Aside from Yveltal, the others were all previously undiscovered."


Exactly.


For most people, even seeing a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in reality was quite rare.


As for First-class Legendaries, over 99.99% of the world’s population had never seen one with their own eyes.


But today they first witnessed the God of Death, Yveltal, then Julian’s Black and White Dragons, followed by Mewtwo, and now Mew had also appeared.


A total of five First-class Legendaries.


> "Mom, I've made it—I've seen five First-class Legendaries!"


> "Mew and Champion Walker seem to be on really good terms."


> "I'm really curious—how exactly did Champion Walker even get involved with these First-class Legendaries? He even caught two of them!"


> "Being curious is useless. Even if Champion Walker told you how, there’s no way you could pull it off."


> "Everyone, I’ve already moved to Drakoria with billions in assets."


> "What’s so great about having money? I’m an Arceus Award winner—Drakoria’s immigration office will definitely accept me!"

"Mew, your child is in trouble now. Are you going to help or not?"


Julian immediately pulled Mew over and hugged it in his arms, and at the same time, Jirachi, who had originally been in his embrace, nearly fell into the sea as his grip loosened abruptly.


Jirachi: 'In the end, the new one always replaces the old, huh?'


Now it understood why Celebi called Mew a b*tch.


"But I don’t like fighting," Mew shook its head.


It didn’t seem to mind Julian petting it at all.


Julian: 'This little belly is so soft.'


With his expression unchanged, he glanced at Mewtwo and Yveltal. The two were evenly matched, and for the moment, did not require his attention.


"Mew, that’s not the right mindset. It’s fine if you don’t like fighting, but it depends on the situation. Right now, your child is being bullied by another First-class Legendary. If it loses, it’ll never be able to hold his head up in front of other First-class Legendaries again."


"And you’ll lose face too. If the child is weak, people will say it’s the parent’s fault."


"You don’t want other First-class Legendaries to say ‘a mighty parent bred a feeble child,’ do you?"


Listening to Julian’s persuasion, Mew subconsciously nodded but then immediately shook its head.


"Mew~"


Mew: "It’s fine if it loses. It can just win next time. That’ll be better for its growth."


Julian looked at Mew in surprise. Wasn’t this guy supposed to be a bit silly? How did it suddenly say something so reasonable?


"Hehe, I’m right, aren’t I?"


Mew noticed Julian’s expression and immediately grew a little smug.


"Of course not!"


There was no way Julian would agree with that. With a serious expression, he said, "This is Mewtwo’s debut battle. If it loses its first fight, what if it becomes discouraged and starts avoiding other First-class Legendaries from now on?"


"Mewtwo is your child. The path it should walk is one of invincibility."


Mew: "The path of invincibility? What’s that?"


"The Path of Invincibility means advancing fearlessly, defeating all First-class Legendaries, becoming the strongest huma—no, the strongest First-class Legendary, a being who stands unrivaled throughout the ages."


The Path of Invincibility? Standing unrivaled throughout the ages? Those words sounded insanely cool.


Mew's eyes widened noticeably.


By now, it had already accepted the idea that Mewtwo was its child.


Every word Julian said to Mew was faithfully translated by lip-readers.


The entire world was left speechless.

> "I think I now understand how Champion Walker managed to form connections with the First-class Legendaries."


> "He just talked them into it? There’s a forbidden zone near my home with a pseudo-Champion Gyarados. Everyone wait for me, I’m going to try talking it into joining me today!"


> "Champion Walker you can’t do this, you’re making me feel like I can do it too."


> "Julian: I’ve told you the method. How you pull it off is up to you."


> "Excuse me, where can I find a First-class Legendary? I want to give it a try."


> "Try = Die."


> "Mew looks so cute; its expression makes it seem like it’s about to be completely swayed by Champion Walker’s sweet talk."


> "At this point, I’m starting to doubt whether Mewtwo is really Mew’s child."


---


"But I really don’t like fighting."


Mew’s little face showed clear conflict. It wanted to help Mewtwo, but it was fundamentally opposed to the idea of fighting.


As the guardian of the World Tree, Mew was inherently a peace-loving Pokémon. While it enjoyed watching battles, it absolutely refused to participate in them itself.


Julian looked at Mew, who seemed easy to persuade but was actually quite firm in its principles, and sighed inwardly. Patting Mew’s head, he said, "Forget it, then. Mewtwo and I can handle this on our own."


From the very beginning, Julian had never considered the possibility of losing.


He glanced at Zekrom and Reshiram, who had stopped participating in the battle and were now resting to recover their strength.


Julian took out a scale and the Blue Orb from his backpack, ready to summon Kyogre.


Since Unown's Protection had reset, he could use it again. By summoning Kyogre and triggering its Primal Reversion through the Blue Orb, Julian refused to believe that four against one wouldn’t be enough to defeat Yveltal.
