For within the shadows, a familiar figure approached the chair and sat down alongside the four special guests on the stage.
The silvery-gray body, the imperious stance, was none other than Mewtwo, the subject of prior discussions, and now it had appeared in the place reserved for special guests on the stage!!
"What's going on!!"
Countless people voiced their confusion.
Thud!!
As the crowd looked on in bewilderment, the lights throughout the venue dimmed, and a voice rang out, providing timely clarification for everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen!!"
"Today's World Championship is about to begin!!"
"I am your old friend, this time serving as the referee and commentator for the Pokémon World Championship, Deng Pei!!!"
"Before the match begins, please allow me to introduce a new special guest, the strongest Pokémon that saved the Orange Archipelago and Castelia City, Mewtwo!!!"
Deng Pei was shocked himself, not understanding why a Pokémon, and moreover, a tamed one, had been invited as a guest.
This situation was unprecedented.
Unlike on Earth, where the Trainer Domain is newly developed and not even a single Champion Level Trainer can be found, therefore those Guardian Gods and Legendary Pokémon are objects of human worship.
Like the world competition on Earth, where the Phantom Pokémon Meloetta was invited as a special guest.
But the Pokémon World is different; although its Legendary Pokémon also adopt a superior stance, humans have always held the dominant position from the very beginning!
In places like Galar and Alola, the original rulers were Legendary Pokémon.
However, now, although Legendary Pokémon still wield significant influence, humans are undoubtedly the real masters.
Decades ago, The Pokémon Alliance developed technological weapons capable of combating Legendary Pokémon, with technology far surpassing Earth's, in a Pokémon World where even spatial teleportation was advanced, humans could even block the spatial movements of Legendary Pokémon. So, when facing Legendary Pokémon, humans still had some trump cards.
Following the successful detonation of Taboo Weapons designed to combat Legendary Pokémon decades ago, countless Legendary Pokémon were disturbed, and the Pokémon World fully entered the era of Alliance governance. Those religions, families, and states that worshipped Legendary Pokémon had no choice but to affiliate themselves with the colossal entity that was The Pokémon Alliance.
In such circumstances, although countless Trainers still regarded Pokémon as partners and companions, there had never been a formal situation where Pokémon were considered superior to humans.
But now, a Pokémon was seated alongside the highest authority of the Alliance, the Chairman of the Galar League, and two Champions, as a guest, which was bound to surprise people.
However, people quickly came to terms with it.
Does Mewtwo deserve this recognition? Absolutely, yes. Mewtwo not only is a Legendary Pokémon but also a hero that saved millions of lives. Currently, Mewtwo is undoubtedly the idol of countless people and Pokémon, and everyone was delighted to see its appearance.
So, when Mewtwo took its seat among the guests, the entire venue immediately erupted into cheers.
Mewtwo sitting alongside the Chairman of the League as a guest was certainly Mr. Fang Yuan's idea. In the Pokémon World, it was undeniably the humans who occupied the leading position, a Pokémon sharing the stage with the highest human authorities? It was almost impossible and would have been criticized by the elite, but now, nobody dared say anything.
Because Mewtwo was associated with Fang Yuan, and behind Fang Yuan stood a ridiculous number of Legendary beings, including Groudon and Kyogre, whose Super Ancient lives would not be hindered by the extinction of humans or Ordinary Pokémon from resting.
So, even if some factions within The Pokémon Alliance were arrogant, they still had to weigh their decisions carefully.
Today's Mewtwo began to enter the public eye with a status that was, in all respects, equal to the Alliance.
Fang Yuan's arrangements were sufficient to allow Mewtwo to comfortably rise to a high enough status to act as the leader of the Ordinary Pokémon, adjusting the relationship between humans and Pokémon.
Mewtwo didn't have much ambition; it only wanted to ensure that those Pokémon who were hunted, whose homes were destroyed, and who were harmed could find a normal place to live. Although it appeared cold, Mewtwo had more compassion than any other Pokémon, partly due to its background. That was also why Fang Yuan was willing to help Mewtwo. It was just such a Pokémon, radiating with the charm of a Pokémon leader.
"I am Mewtwo."
Sitting at the stage, Mewtwo looked calmly down at the audience. Although it was reluctant to attract so much attention, if it wanted to change the plight of those oppressed Pokémon and address the darker aspects of the world, it knew it would eventually have to interact with human forces, a necessity of its mission.
"Holy... Holy shit, it's really Mewtwo."
"Mewtwo has actually come as a guest!!"
"Unbelievable, this is the first time."
"Did you guys notice? I think Mewtwo's figure is kind of sexy... oh no, I think Mewtwo just glanced at me."
Mewtwo helplessly watched the foolish humans below.
At this point, someone finally realized the oversight.
"Wait, wait a minute, if Mewtwo appears there as a guest of the championship... then Mr. Fang Yuan won't be able to send out Mewtwo to fight, will he??"
"What's the deal with having your own Pokémon attend as a guest? What Pokémon will he send out next, oh right, Darkrai?... Although it seems fine, it still feels slightly lacking compared to the trump cards of people like Miss Hilona..."
