Chapter 83 Mewtwo
"Ash from Pallet Town? Alright, I understand. You two can go now."
Giovanni always felt like he had heard that name somewhere before, but he just couldn't recall where.
"Yes, Boss!"
The Team Rocket Trio left Giovanni's office, dreaming of promotions and raises.
It must be said that Team Rockets' flat management was quite good. A small team like the Team Rocket Trio could directly contact the organization's boss, Giovanni, which was much stronger than other evil organizations in other regions.
....
Because Ash had previously lent a Milotic to the Cerulean Gym, when they passed through Cerulean City this time, the Cerulean Gym's three sisters didn't arrange any 'Mermaid Princess's Holiday.' However, Misty still couldn't escape the fate of leaving Horsea and Starmie at the Gym.
Unlike the original story, after Misty found the Psyduck usage instructions, Psyduck was almost forcibly kept by her three sisters. Fortunately, Psyduck's inability to swim was still a weakness, otherwise, it would have truly been gone.
Today, their group finally arrived at the Viridian Gym.
"Ash, Gary, which of you will challenge first?" Brock asked.
"Me first!" Gary quickly interjected.
"Are you sure you want to go first? I'm warning you beforehand, the Trainer of the Viridian Gym, Giovanni, is no ordinary person. He's the boss of Team Rockets, and he has a Pokémon not listed in the Pokédex." Ash said slowly.
He genuinely wanted to clash with Mewtwo; otherwise, he would have to wait for Mewtwo to send Dragonite to deliver a message to get a ticket to New Island, which would be quite troublesome.
"The boss of Team Rockets?"
The three were shocked.
Brock swallowed, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Ash, are you telling the truth? Giovanni is the Trainer of Kanto's strongest Gym. If he's the boss of Team Rockets, this matter would have a huge impact."
"Of course, it's true. Not only Giovanni, but even Lt. Surge of Vermilion City Gym, and Mr. Koga of Fuchsia Gym, they are all Team Rockets cadres. And Blaine of Cinnabar Gym, he also used to work for Team Rockets, but later withdrew." Ash continued to reveal.
"Then I definitely want to challenge first. A Pokémon not in the Pokédex should be very interesting to battle against."
Gary excitedly rushed into the Viridian Gym. By the time Ash and the other two reacted, it was already too late.
"That guy Gary, he really won't give up until he hits a wall." Ash covered his face.
"Ash, how did you know all that information?" Misty asked curiously.
"Professor Oak told me. The Alliance will probably know about these things soon too."
Ash, as usual, shifted the blame to Professor Oak.
Bearing the blame! Bearing one is bearing, bearing two is also bearing. Along the way, he didn't know how many times he had thrown the blame on Professor Oak.
....
About half an hour later, Ash and his two companions arrived at the entrance of the Viridian Gym and said to the two guards, "Hello, I am Ash from Pallet Town, and I want to challenge the Viridian Gym. Is the Gym Leader available?"
"Ash from Pallet Town? Please wait." One guard replied.
Inside the Gym.
Giovanni, who had just received an urgent call and was about to leave, heard the news that Ash wanted to challenge the Gym and immediately changed his mind.
Actually, that call was about Team Rockets being exposed, and the Alliances of the Kanto and Johto regions were about to take action against Team Rockets.
The news that Giovanni was going to battle Ash was relayed to the guards, who immediately opened the Gym's main door.
Upon entering, they saw Gary lying in the battle arena's command area, unconscious.
"Gary, are you alright?" Ash patted Gary's face and asked.
Gary slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "A...Ash...you were very...very right. That Pokémon called Mewtwo is very strong."
On the high platform opposite, Giovanni saw Ash's face and finally remembered. Ash was the brat who had ruined Lt. Surge's Zapdos capture operation, the St. Anne's operation, and Cassidy's duo plan. Previously, he had also had Koga test Ash's strength and hadn't acted against Ash because the Mewtwo plan was at a critical juncture, and he couldn't spare anyone.
"Boss Giovanni, hello!"
Ash met Giovanni's gaze and greeted him with a smile.
"Heh, brat, you know quite a lot, don't you? You've ruined our Team Rockets' operations so many times. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you by showing up now?" Giovanni said coldly.
"Boss Giovanni, you can certainly try."
"Bold! Use your strongest Pokémon to battle my Mewtwo. After this battle, no matter the outcome, our grievances, yours and Team Rockets', will be settled. How about it?" Giovanni said.
"I don't care. Anyway, the Alliance is currently settling accounts with your Team Rockets."
"Alright, for this Gym Challenge, there are no restrictions on rules. Multiple Pokémon can be used simultaneously."
As he spoke, a lift opened on the platform beneath Giovanni's feet, and Mewtwo, wearing its power-restricting armor, slowly ascended.
Mewtwo's appearance brought forth a powerful Pressure, born from Mewtwo's strong Psychic power and its own characteristic, effective against any living creature.
Pokémon: Mewtwo
Attribute: Psychic
Gender: Genderless
Level: Quasi-Legendary Peak (Level 1 God)
Divine Position: None
Characteristic: Pressure
Aptitude: Level 1 God

Description: This is a man-made Pokémon with immense potential. Note: The restrictive armor on its body not only limits its strength but also limits the improvement of its thinking and power.
"Charizard, Zapdos, come out! Pikachu, you too!"
With Mewtwo's strength limited to Quasi-Legendary Level 1, Ash knew it was time to unleash Pikachu's characteristic.
It could electrocute Arceus, the Creator God. This time, electrocuting Mewtwo might just make it truly Elite-level after the battle.
Pikachu's battle experience accumulation was already very deep; it just needed a catalyst.
Seeing Ash's lineup, Giovanni's expression slightly changed, and he asked, "Brat, where's your Moltres?"
"Moltres isn't with me. They're enough."
After such a long period of recovery, Zapdos's strength not only returned to quasi-Champion level but also made a small breakthrough, not far from Champion.
"You still have a Master Ball. Let it out too."
Giovanni's gaze was extremely sharp; he saw a Master Ball on Ash's waist.
"If I let her out, your Gym will be gone."
