But what the hell was this suddenly awakened Hex System?!

Years later.

Xia Chi said, "Next, I'll teach everyone how to beat the hell out of Mewtwo. Start by picking Meowscarada, then launch into our 5A combo. Weave basic attacks between normal attacks; if you can't reach them, use skills. Use whichever one is available. Remember to cast Flower Trick while we're still alive. Use the [Protean] ability to switch types. You don't need to learn this if you're not going pro."

The reporter asked, "Champion Lance, what are your thoughts on contestant Xia Chi, the opponent who just swept you 3–0 in the Masters Eight semifinals?"

Lance said, "Not one of this guy's Pokémon is normal! I suggest the Pokémon League thoroughly investigate where they came from!"

"I'll say it again: this guy is not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!"
