"Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I still have a journey to continue, but I'll be back."
"If possible, I'd really like to travel with you."
Mewtwo knew his current situation, and the three days he had spent with Lin Guang had also filled him with interest in Lin Guang's journey.
Lin Guang smiled gently and said, "When I come to Viridian City again, I'll take you away, though by then you should already be able to break free of their control."
Hearing Lin Guang's words, Mewtwo's eyes filled with confidence.
"Of course. If you haven't come to see me before I break free of their control, I'll make you answer for it."
"No problem. Goodbye, then."
As Lin Guang finished speaking, his psychic power vanished from Mewtwo's mental space.
After saying goodbye to Mewtwo, Lin Guang set off with Mio Takamiya and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki toward the next city, Pewter City.
Just as the three of them entered Viridian Forest, two people and a cat emerged from the bushes beside the road.
Meowth: "After waiting three days, they've finally come out, meow."
Jessie: "We absolutely can't let that guy get away this time. We have to steal all their Pokémon!"
James: "Still, it's thanks to them staying in Viridian City for a few days that we had enough time to prepare. This time, we'll get them in one shot!"
Brimming with confidence, the Team Rocket trio followed Lin Guang and the others into Viridian Forest.
Meanwhile, Lin Guang and his two companions were walking through Viridian Forest.
Though the path looked perfectly ordinary, the three of them kept taking detours.
Looking at the two people and one cat following behind them, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked quietly, "Just how many traps did they dig over these three days? Why don't we finish them off
