• Mewtwo revealed a Gible egg and said the winner of an after-dinner competition would receive it, but everyone had to leave their Pokémon with him temporarily.
• Cynthia asked whether the rule applied to everyone, and a fat Elite Four member protested before Mewtwo sent him flying and took his Poké Balls.

Cynthia sent Entei to confront Mewtwo, but Mewtwo easily defeated it and challenged the Trainers to beat Ye Qing for the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg. Ye Qing accepted the chance to stall while Cynthia waited for help, and Long Zinuo stepped forward to battle him.

• Cynthia summoned Entei, which attacked Mewtwo with Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire.
• Mewtwo emerged unharmed, struck Entei down with Water Pulse, and dismissed the crowd's challenge.

• The Dragon Tamer ordered Long Zinuo to battle Ye Qing, and Long Zinuo stepped forward with his Pokémon.

Ye Qing faced Long Zinuo in a one-on-one battle, pitting his Infernape against Long Zinuo’s well-equipped Blaziken. Infernape caught Blaziken off guard and knocked him down with a rapid series of punches, but the spectators knew the fight was not over.

• Ye Qing chose Infernape to battle Long Zinuo for the Gible Pokémon Egg, while Mewtwo cleared the battlefield of its clones and the spectators moved back.

• Infernape activated Blaze as both Pokémon struggled to keep fighting, and Blaziken charged at him at blinding speed.

• Mewtwo raised his hand to order the clone army to attack, but Ye Qing stopped him just as Mew arrived and landed in front of him.
• Ye Qing frantically signaled that Mew had been drawn by the mark on his arm, while Mewtwo stared at him suspiciously.

Mewtwo attacked Mew, and their battle devastated the island until Ye Qing stepped between them. Ye Qing convinced Mewtwo that he was an independent life rather than a copy, leaving Mewtwo calmer and questioning what he had learned.

• Mewtwo recognized Mew as the source of his genes and attacked, beginning a battle that damaged the castle, Colosseum, and island.
• Ye Qing decided to stop the fight and had Kirlia teleport him between Mew and Mewtwo.
• Ye Qing told Mewtwo that human genes and the process of his creation had made him an independent individual, not a copy of Mew.
• Mewtwo calmed down, sensed that Ye Qing was telling the truth, and questioned whether he contained more than Mew's genes.

• Ye Qing argued that Mewtwo was an independent individual, and Mewtwo accepted that it and the cloned Pokémon were real Pokémon with their own feelings.

• Mew vanished after yawning, while Kirlia brought Ye Qing the Pokémon Egg and he set off for shore on Aerodactyl.
• Cynthia and Dragon Tamer realized that the people and Pokémon who returned from New Island were exhausted, and Dragon Tamer’s Gyarados lay weak on the sea.
• Ye Qing chose a coastal city on the way to Thunder City, counted his rewards, and discovered that Dragon Tamer’s gift was a Dragon Fang.
• Aerodactyl carried Ye Qing through the storm and onward while he slept, then Ye Qing arrived in the city and used Kirlia to teleport to a street.
• Ye Qing found a Pokémon Day Care and planned to clean the Gible Pokémon Egg.

Ye Qing visited a Pokémon Day Care to clean Gible's egg and buy an incubator, incubation fluid, and several scarce TMs. After the cleaned egg appeared sky blue, he suspected it might contain a shiny Gible, and a woman began eyeing him after seeing how much he spent.

• Ye Qing insisted on watching the Pokémon Egg being cleaned, and Sun Xiao agreed after he offered to pay extra.
