Arboliva asked Charizard to use Flamethrower to help start the fire.
Such a thing was a piece of cake for Charizard, who readily agreed, delighted that Arboliva treated it like a Normal Pokemon.
Opening its mouth, it spat out a flame, and the pile of wood instantly blazed up.
The firelight illuminated the faces of the surrounding Pokemon, reflecting in the eyes of every single one.
Everyone quietly watched the fire, eating Berries, recalling the amazing experiences of the day, as if they were dreaming.
They had found a paradise of their own and were warmly accepted by the Pokemon there.
Not only that, those Pokemon shared Berries with them and held a feast to welcome their arrival.
It truly felt like being in a dream!
Cloned Meowth blankly looked up at the sky, yet the round moon was nowhere to be seen here.
It could only murmur: "Meow..." (I hope this dream never ends, meow...)
The other Pokemon didn't speak either.
Clearly, many Pokemon shared the same thought as Meowth.
Tropius, Milotic, and Arboliva looked at them in confusion.
After a while, Treecko asked blankly: "Treeko?" (What's bothering you?)
The Pokemon were slightly stunned.
Before they could speak, Tatsugiri added: "Mi!" (Why not ask the wise Slowking?)
Tatsugiri Two followed up: "Mi!" (If you have a problem, go to Slowking; it'll help us find a solution!)
Tatsugiri Three nodded repeatedly: "Mi!" (That's right! Slowking is our Great Sage; it knows everything!)
Slowking?
Hearing the name of the Great Sage, the Pokemon present were slightly stunned.
Is that also a Pokemon?
Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Arboliva thought for a moment and decided to take everyone to meet Slowking.
Thus, a group of Pokemon extinguished the fire, passed through the forest, and arrived at a clearing in the woods.
In the clearing sat a large stone, with Slowking perched on it, gazing at the sky, deep in thought.
In front of it were several Berries.
Those were what Arboliva and the others had brought for Slowking.
Arboliva and the others stood aside.
Tatsugiri was carried on Tropius's back.
They looked at the new companions and introduced: "Mi!" (Just line up and ask Slowking your questions one by one!)
The Cloned Pokemon exchanged glances, lining up curiously and dreamily.
Mewtwo joined in too.
It gazed at the Pokemon on the stone, pondering like a human philosopher, and thought to itself:
"The Great Sage who knows everything? I wonder if it can answer my question."
Soon, the first Pokemon asked its question.
It was the Cloned Meowth and Cloned Pikachu.
They asked: "What is the meaning of life?"
This was a question they had been pondering for a long time, but had yet to find an answer.
Upon hearing this question, the Slowking on the stone looked at the two unfamiliar Pokemon.
It blinked its eyes, thought for a long while, and finally answered: "The meaning of life is in yourselves."
"Pika pi?"
"Meow?"
Meowth and Pikachu were slightly taken aback.
Slowking: "Do what you want to do, follow your heart. When you feel happiness and joy in what you do, that is the meaning of your life."
Hearing this, the two Pokemon pondered.
What they wanted to do... now, they just wanted to plant Berries with their companions and live well here.
Recalling the anticipation and happiness of planting Berries this afternoon, Pikachu and Meowth suddenly seemed to understand.
So that's their purpose, after all?
Having found the answer, the two Pokemon happily stepped aside.
From now on, they would achieve more of their life's value, living happily with everyone in this place!
Mewtwo, listening, pondered these words.
Then, it was the second Pokemon's turn.
It was the Cloned Charizard.
Looking at Slowking, it asked puzzledly: "Roar?" (Why do Pokemon fight each other? Wouldn't it be better to live together?)
Slowking: "Because not all Pokemon have such thoughts. Where there are Pokemon, there will be conflicts, possibly over food or territory."
"Roar..."
Charizard heard this half-understandingly; it didn't like it that way, it just wanted to live in peace with everyone here.
Next came the third, fourth, fifth...
Every Pokemon asked the questions that bothered them.
Some asked about the meaning of battles, others about the purpose of becoming stronger, and some sought advice on making delicious dishes.
Soon, it was Mewtwo's turn to ask its question.
It looked at the sage-like Slowking, then solemnly asked the question that had been bothering it for a long time.
"Why do I exist?"
Slowking gazed blankly, its face full of wisdom, looking at the unique Pokemon before it.
Hearing this inexplicable question, it couldn't help but show a slightly troubled expression.
"That's a head-scratcher!"
Mewtwo remained silent.
Slowking looked at it for a while, then asked: "Who are you?"
"Mewtwo." Mewtwo replied: "I am Mewtwo."
