Julian stepped forward, patted Mewtwo on the shoulder, and smiled.

"Try my cooking. Maybe it’ll give you a new view of humans."

Mewtwo froze for a moment.

"Human food has no meaningful nutrition. It is not useful for a Pokémon’s growth. Why eat it?"

Julian did not explain. He simply supported Mewtwo over to the side and helped him sit down.

"No rush. Once you eat it, you’ll understand."

Mewtwo sat down in the corner of the arena with some confusion.

Julian took all kinds of ingredients, tableware, and even a dining table from the backpack on the ground.

Maylene’s eyes widened.

"Brother, you came to pick me up, so why did you bring this much stuff too?"

Julian smiled as he began processing the ingredients.

"It’s better to be prepared. See? It’s useful now."

Ash blinked.

They had been locked in such a tense battle with Mewtwo just now, so how had things suddenly turned into everyone sitting down to eat together?

Darach smiled and stepped forward.

"My cooking is quite decent. I’ll help too."

Julian quickly mixed the batter and made a cream crepe.

"Mewtwo, try this."

He accepted the crepe, smelled it, then cautiously took a bite.

Mewtwo stared at the crepe in shock.

What is this flavour? Such richness

"Sweet food is the best at soothing the heart. Food’s most basic function is filling the stomach, but beyond that, it brings people happiness."

"Of course, if you eat too much, that happiness can become its own little problem."

Mewtwo... probably would not eat so many sweets that he became fat, right?

"Try this chocolate-and-nut crepe too."

He had not even finished the crepe in his hand when Julian handed him another one.

Maylene squeezed over.

"Don’t just make them for Mewtwo. I want one too!"

Julian tapped Maylene on the forehead.

"Alright, alright. You’ll have one too."

Maylene giggled and stared intently at the crepe in the pan.

Mewtwo took a bite of the chocolate crepe, and it surprised him just as much.

Humans could actually make food this delicious.

Perhaps humans were not entirely useless.

Darach also made one of his own speciality dishes with the ingredients.

Not only Mewtwo, but everyone present received a portion.

Except Team Rocket’s trio. They were hiding on the wall, secretly drooling.

James asked weakly, "Should we go down and eat some too?"

Jessie waved her fist.

"We’re Team Rocket! Even if we’re going to eat, we should steal it!"

Meowth pointed at Julian.

"But we can’t beat that guy at all. He looks pretty kind, though. If we go down hungry and ask for a little food..."

"He probably won’t refuse us, meow."

After eating the food Julian and Darach had made, Mewtwo’s state of mind calmed a little more, and his control over his Psychic energy gradually recovered.

But confusion also rose in his heart.

As a clone, where exactly should he go from here?

Julian carried some food over and sat beside Mewtwo.

"I know that as a clone, you feel lost about your birth and don’t know what you should do."

"But actually, the Pokémon and humans here were the same when they were born. Everyone slowly finds meaning in life step by step."

Julian waved to Ash.

"Ash, when did you start wanting to become a Trainer?"

Ash raised his head.

"I liked watching Pokémon battle broadcasts ever since I was little, and Pallet Town also has Professor Oak’s research lab."

"Over time, I started wanting to become a Pokémon Trainer, with becoming a Pokémon Master as my goal!"

"As for exactly when, I don’t remember."

Julian smiled.

"Life goals are born from experience. The most important thing for you now is to experience more."

Mewtwo looked thoughtful.

Suddenly, Team Rocket’s trio slid down from the wall.

The three of them crashed heavily onto the ground.

"What Pokémon was that just now?"

A small pink cat flew to Maylene’s side and stared at the chocolate crepe in her hand.

Maylene tore off a piece and handed it to the small pink cat.

The cat stuffed it into its mouth and happily bounced around in the air.

"Mew~"

Mewtwo immediately stood up.

"Mew! The rarest Pokémon in the world!"

He no longer thought about the problem between humans and Pokémon.

But he still wanted to determine who was stronger between himself, the clone, and Mew, the original.

Cynthia was somewhat surprised. She had not expected to see Mew.

Julian activated Aura and confirmed that this Mew was not the one living in the Tree of Beginning.

This Mew was more mischievous.

Mewtwo flew into the sky.

"The scientists who created me found a fossilised eyelash belonging to Mew in an ancient jungle. They extracted its genes, and from them, I was born."

"I made the clones battle the originals because I wanted to know who is stronger between you and me."

"Since you’ve appeared, let us battle and see whose power is greater!"

He raised his hand, and a Shadow Ball flew towards Mew.

Mew dodged with Teleport, and the Shadow Ball smashed into the stone steps of the audience seats, throwing up large amounts of dust.

Cynthia walked to Julian’s side.

"Should we stop them?"

Julian shook his head.

"This is the question Mewtwo has always wanted answered. Let him fight Mew first and burn through some of their stamina."

"If there’s no major problem, we won’t stop them."

Julian also felt somewhat tired.

He had thought he could slowly calm Mewtwo’s heart.

In the end, Mew, who had not appeared all this time, suddenly showed up at the final moment.

Mewtwo threw one Shadow Ball after another towards Mew.

Mew used a string of Teleports to dodge them all.

When Mew appeared in the air again, she was even snickering.

Mewtwo grew unusually furious and fired another Shadow Ball.

This one successfully pushed Mew into the sky and exploded.

Then a Shadow Ball fell from above, smashing Mewtwo into the arena wall.

He soon flew out from the smoke.

"You are indeed troublesome. But the truly strong one is me!"

Even after being schooled repeatedly, he still kept talking big.

Mewtwo, you really are something

Ash walked to Julian’s side.

"Julian, aren’t we stopping them from fighting?"

Julian smiled and asked, "Why stop them?"

Ash said as if it were obvious, "Because Mewtwo and Mew’s battle has no meaning."

Paul cut in and asked him, "Are your usual battles against Trainers any more meaningful than Mewtwo and Mew’s battle?"

Paul’s gaze shifted.

He truly wished he could fight either Mewtwo or Mew.

Only by battling such powerful opponents could he improve.

Mew flew down.

"Mew, mew."

Julian looked at Meowth.

"What did Mew say?"

Meowth froze.

"Mew said the original is the original. Its power is stronger than a clone’s. If they don’t use moves and only rely on physical strength, the original could never lose to a clone."

The corner of Julian’s mouth twitched.

As expected of Mew. That mouth was venomous, jabbing straight at Mewtwo’s sore spot.

Anger flashed through Mewtwo’s eyes.

"How dare you say the original is the original!"

The furious Mewtwo condensed an enormous Shadow Ball and threw it over.

Mew dodged nimbly.

Mewtwo wrapped himself in a brilliant blue Psychic barrier.

Mew’s body shone with pink light as she formed a matching shell of Psychic energy.

Then the two launched themselves at each other, colliding in mid-air again and again.

Each clash sent rings of golden light rippling across the arena.

Julian sighed.

"The battle between originals and clones has no meaning, but the battle between Mewtwo and Mew does still have some meaning."

Cynthia nodded.

"The battle has gone in the wrong direction."

"Julian, step in!"
