It promised to teach them Heal Pulse if they could last ten minutes in the secret realm, while Mei Zhen began preparing food to support their training.

• The four trained against their opponents, with Li Xin Nan and Dong Shan struggling, Bei Miao improving his Water Jet, and Tyranitar repeatedly overwhelming Kun Zhong.
• Mewtwo ended the first training session after Kun Zhong lasted five minutes and healed the four summoners with Heal Pulse.
• Mewtwo offered to teach Heal Pulse to the summoners and Mei Zhen if they met its training conditions, explaining that using it consumed their energy and made them hungry.
