Chapter 248: Mewtwo's Counterattack

Although Mewtwo, locked in a psychic confrontation with Mew, had noticed the attacks of Charizard and Pikachu, it couldn't afford to be distracted. It could only brace itself against these two unfamiliar moves, absent from its database.

Even without any prior knowledge, Mewtwo sensed the immense power behind these attacks. It knew that even it would be injured if hit in its current state.

This surprised Mewtwo. Having reached the legendary level, it shouldn't be threatened by Pokémon below the hall level. Yet, these two Pokémon, one at the Silver level and the other only at the high Silver level, were capable of unleashing moves that posed a threat.

Boom!

The thunderball, "Summon Thunder," descended from the sky, striking Mewtwo's body. The violent thunder exploded, engulfing Mewtwo.

Despite being bathed in thunder, Mewtwo didn't suffer significant damage. However, it was affected. It clearly felt the attack's energy eroding its body, unexpectedly weakening its defense and special defense.

The thunder light gradually dissipated, falling on the shattered islands and the turbulent sea below, creating a unique Electric Terrain. Lightning arcs occasionally crackled across the water.

In the next moment, a searing beam of flames, "Golden Flame Cannon," bombarded Mewtwo, forming a towering pillar of fire that engulfed it, reaching towards the heavens.

The flames even dispersed some of the dark clouds caused by Mew and Mewtwo's battle. Except for the area where the thunder dragon remained, the sky cleared, and the scorching sun shone down.

After a while, the flames spread and fell upon the island and sea. The flames touched the seawater but continued to burn fiercely, forming a Sea of Fire field.

"So strong..." Yusho, Luna, and Hiroshi were awestruck, staring blankly at the aftermath of Charizard and Pikachu's attacks. They couldn't believe Pokémon at the elite and high elite levels could possess such power.

"Did it work?!" Brock and Misty, having witnessed these moves before, were more concerned with their effectiveness against Mewtwo.

Before Ash could respond, the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly. The invisible psychic fluctuations intensified as Mew seized the opportunity presented by Mewtwo's distraction and launched a counterattack.

Mew increased its energy output, pushing its Psychic powers to the extreme. Although it couldn't completely suppress Mewtwo's Psychic, it gained the upper hand.

Mewtwo reacted swiftly, boosting its energy output and reducing the range of its controlled field to maintain its defenses.

"Mere Pokémon dare to interfere in our battle..." Mewtwo glared at Charizard and Pikachu, then shifted its gaze to their Trainer, Ash.

Maintaining its energy output against Mew, Mewtwo raised its right hand, aiming at Charizard and Pikachu, intending to attack them while simultaneously battling Mew.

"Dodge, Charizard!" Ash's pupils constricted as he shouted a warning. Only by dodging could Charizard and Pikachu escape Mewtwo's attack.

Sensing the imminent threat, Charizard executed Dual Wingbeat, gliding through the turbulent air currents to evade Mewtwo's attack and buy time for Mew to rescue them.

Mew, noticing the situation, intensified its Psychic assault, overwhelming Mewtwo's defenses and leaving it vulnerable.

However, Mewtwo had anticipated this. It maintained its energy output, slowing Mew's attack while simultaneously launching a Psyshock at Charizard.

"Bang!" Charizard was struck before it could react, the impact sending it hurtling towards the sea, along with Pikachu.

"Charizard! Pikachu!" Ash cried out, urging Pidgeot to fly towards them.

Meanwhile, Mew's attack had completely shattered Mewtwo's Psychic defenses, leaving it exposed.

"I will not lose! I am the strongest Pokémon... the strongest!" Mewtwo roared, refusing to yield. It believed it was the strongest and would never lose to Mew.

Driven by its determination, Mewtwo pushed back Mew's Psychic assault, its power surging to new heights.

Mew was astonished. Despite its efforts to suppress Mewtwo, it continued to grow stronger.

On the other side, Ash had recalled Charizard and caught Pikachu, checking its condition. Relieved to find only exhaustion and no serious injuries, he handed Pikachu to Brock and Misty for treatment.

"I'll restore Pikachu immediately," Brock said, preparing a potion.

"Thank you, Brock," Ash replied, his gaze returning to the battlefield. Witnessing Mewtwo's counterattack, his expression darkened.

"If this continues, Mew might not be able to win..." Ash clenched his fists tightly. The situation had completely deviated from his expectations, and he didn't know what to do to end this fight.
