Heh heh heh, after all, I'm not some kind of demon

"Damn it, why is this guy everywhere?!"

If Zapdos could speak, that would definitely have been what it most wanted to say right now.

Three times. Three times in half a year, and every operation had been ruined by Xia Chen.

Especially this time. Zapdos had clearly heard Lt. Surge and the others mention that they had specifically avoided Xia Chen, only to find that he was still here once the operation began!

And this situation was the most dangerous of all.

At least during the previous two times, Eternatus and Yveltal had been standing at the front. Zapdos had not been the primary target.

But this time, the big shots were on the opposing side.

On the ground, the aura emanating from Mewtwo grew increasingly dangerous. In the sky, Aurora Barrier formed an unbreakable cage, firmly trapping Team Rocket, Zapdos, and the others within.

Given enough time, breaking the barrier would not have been a problem with the offensive power of the two sacred birds.

But how could Mewtwo possibly let them flee so easily?

Although Zapdos and Moltres attacked with all their might in an attempt to shatter the barrier, they still failed to do so before Mewtwo's attack arrived.

A blur shot upward from the ground. Along with two surges of Psychic power came a cold-faced humanoid Pokémon.

Its overall appearance was extremely similar to the legendary Mew, said to possess the genes of every Pokémon. However, its body was larger, standing even taller than an ordinary human. The two tubes connecting its back to the back of its head marked it as an artificial creation.

It was the artificial Legendary Pokémon created from Mew's genes—Mewtwo!

Mewtwo floated silently before Zapdos and Moltres, its icy gaze filled with rage that had been suppressed for far too long.
