Let's go back three days.
The journey of w and Baby Bear continued.
At noon that day, they arrived at a port shrouded in dark clouds and heavy rain.
The sea was pitch black, and massive waves from the storm crashed against the coast repeatedly.
Heavy rain poured down, and many people, drenched to the bone, hurried to seek shelter in the boat boarding area.
A group of young trainers, eager to cross the sea by boat, had gathered there.
Officer Jenny, tasked with maintaining order, stood at the entrance with a loudspeaker, shouting to the waiting trainers inside:
"Everyone! Due to the storm, the ship cannot sail today! Please wait here until the storm passes, and we'll resu the journey afterward!"
"Hmm?" Baby Bear, perched on a steel beam above the hall, looked down at the crowd of humans with curiosity.
anwhile, w's attention was focused on the storm outside.
Baby Bear noticed this and asked, "What's wrong?"
w gazed at the stormy sea with a look of interest. "w." (This storm is being influenced by a powerful force.)
"Teddi?" Baby Bear was surprised. A powerful force?
Not only was it strong, but the energy felt oddly familiar to w.
w, now intrigued, exclaid, "w!" (Let's go check it out!)
Baby Bear, always up for adventure, agreed imdiately.
The two Pokémon vanished in a flash, passing through the storm and arriving at a small island.
There was no rain here. A castle stood tall on the island, with a windmill spinning on the coast.
w and Baby Bear, instantly captivated by the windmill, perched on its blades and began to spin with it, laughing in delight.
"Teddi!"
"w!"
The two Pokémon were having a blast when suddenly, an explosion echoed from the castle nearby.
Their attention shifted imdiately. They flew toward the source of the sound and, just as they approached, saw a boy in a baseball cap being hurled through the air.
"w?"
Without hesitation, w used its psychic powers to create a protective bubble, catching the boy mid-air with perfect precision.
"Yay!" Baby Bear's eyes lit up at the sight of the bubble, fascinated by w's ability.
It had never seen this particular move from w before! It looked like so much fun!
With a playful glint in its eyes, w winked at Baby Bear and created another bubble. The two Pokémon bounced on the bubbles like trampolines, giggling with joy.
They were so engrossed in their fun that they didn't notice the eerie silence that had taken over the hall.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Misty asked, astonished.
Brock, standing beside her, shook his head. "I only recognize the one next to it as Teddiursa."
The trainers, who had braved the storm to get there, were equally stunned.
In the center of the hall stood wtwo, a humanoid Pokémon radiating an overwhelming aura of psychic energy. Its piercing gaze locked onto w.
Raising its hand, wtwo hurled a shadow ball directly at w.
The shadow ball pierced through w's bubble, causing both w and Baby Bear to stop playing and turn their attention to wtwo.
"Teddi?!" Baby Bear was upset. It had never seen such hostility in a Pokémon before!
But wtwo ignored it and launched several more shadow balls, which w and Baby Bear effortlessly dodged.
Baby Bear was furious now. Really furious.
It glared at the strange Pokémon, then fished out a small stone from who-knows-where and hurled it at wtwo.
"It's a Dark-type move-Fling," Brock noted with recognition.
The stone, glowing with phantom light, sped toward wtwo like a bullet. But just as it was about to hit, it was blocked by wtwo's psychic shield.
wtwo's gaze shifted to Baby Bear, and the air grew thick with tension as wtwo's psychic power surged like a tidal wave.
"This doesn't concern you!" wtwo roared, its voice echoing with power.
Baby Bear floated in the air, undisturbed. The wave of psychic energy passed overhead, ruffling a tuft of its fur.
"Did I miss?" wtwo blinked, surprised at its own failure.
Realizing it was being attacked, Baby Bear's anger flared even more. It hadn't done anything
wrong! This Pokémon was incredibly rude!
With a growl, Baby Bear broke free from w's flight and shot forward like a missile.
Seeing this, wtwo sneered, "You're no match for ."
It hurled five or six shadow balls, but Baby Bear dodged every single one with ease.
wtwo was taken aback. "How is it this lucky?"
While wtwo hesitated, a tiny flaw appeared in its psychic shield, and Baby Bear seized the opportunity. Its sharp claws extended with a "whoosh," leaving a faint scratch on wtwo's
body.
Finally realizing the threat, wtwo's face darkened. Its psychic energy exploded, sending Baby Bear flying.
Luckily, Baby Bear landed on a soft cushion of flesh. The cushion groaned in pain, but Baby
Bear erged unhard.
Ash, who had broken Baby Bear's fall, stared in disbelief. Did he see that right? Teddiursa had actually managed to attack wtwo!
"Teddi!"
Baby Bear hopped off Ash, ready for more, while calmly assessing the situation.
anwhile, wtwo's focus had returned to w.
The two Pokémon stared each other down.
wtwo spoke in a low, nacing tone. "w, the rarest Pokémon in the world. I was created
in your image, but I am stronger. I am the real one. I am the one who will survive!"
"w..."
w looked puzzled. It had never provoked this strange Pokémon before.
It had co here because it sensed a familiar aura, only to run into this guy instead.
w didn't want to fight. It tried to communicate with wtwo, but wtwo attacked again without hesitation.
Forced to defend itself, w dodged while continuing to try and reason with wtwo.
But wtwo wouldn't relent.
w was starting to get angry.
"Why won't you fight ? Are you avoiding it because you're scared?" wtwo taunted.
Between wtwo's aggression and its earlier attack on Baby Bear, w had had enough. Silently, w unleashed its full psychic power, blasting wtwo across the hall. Seeing this scene, Baby Bear looked on with admiration: "Teddi!" (As expected of a hero!)
"Hmph," wtwo scoffed, stepping out of the ruins. "It seems like you'll be a slightly tricky
opponent."
Floating above the cloned Pokémon, wtwo gave a cold command: "Now let's settle this- w and I, who is truly stronger? The original or the evolved?"
"We were created to surpass you!" wtwo declared.
At wtwo's command, the cloned Pokémon started to move, engaging in fierce battles with their original counterparts. anwhile, w and wtwo transford into glowing orbs of energy, intertwining and colliding as they flew into the sky.
The rumble of explosions echoed from above, while below, in the ruins of the castle, cloned Pokémon clashed with their originals.
As the situation escalated, Baby Bear grew increasingly flustered and confused.
It called out loudly: "Teddi!" (What's happening? Why is everyone fighting?)
But no Pokémon responded. Whether they truly wanted to or not, they couldn't stop. They continued battling, with each side growing more exhausted and injured-Vulpix, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Bulbasaur-all of them worn down, their movents slow
and sluggish.
Watching the chaos unfold, Baby Bear felt panicked. It thought, 'If only Naoki were here.' But
Naoki wasn't there. It had to rely on itself.
Gathering its courage, Baby Bear shouted at the top of its lungs: "Teddi!" (Stop it! Stop
fighting! We're all Pokémon, why hurt each other?)
Nearby, Nurse Joy murmured softly, "What's the point of this battle? Whether original or
clone, they're all alive now."
Brock added, "Even if they were created, they're still creatures of this world."
Misty nodded in agreent. "Both originals and clones are living beings. What's the point in
fighting to prove who's stronger?"
Nurse Joy clasped her hands in front of her chest, her expression solemn. "As creatures, they don't give up their territory easily, especially not to their own kind. They'll keep fighting until one side drives the other away. That's the way of nature."
"As long as wtwo and w continue fighting, none of the other Pokémon will stop
either..." Baby Bear listened to their words, sadness welling up inside. It had always viewed every Pokémon it encountered as family. But now, watching them battle each other to the brink, Baby Bear's heart ached.
Its eyes filled with tears, and it didn't want to witness the violence anymore. Determined, Baby Bear raised its head and shouted: "Teddi!" (Enough!) Hearing Baby Bear's cry, w, in mid-air, hesitated. It imdiately broke away from its
battle with wtwo and descended to the ground.
Baby Bear rushed to w's side, pointing at the battle raging around them. "Teddi! Teddi!"
(Look at them! Why are we fighting?)
Just then, wtwo launched a massive Shadow Ball attack. The dark energy surged forward, engulfing both w and Baby Bear in a devastating explosion.
Dust and debris rose into the air, and silence fell over the battlefield.
"Hmph," wtwo muttered confidently.
But a mont later, a surge of even greater power erupted from the cloud of dust.
With a fierce cry of "Teddi!", Baby Bear's body glowed faintly as it grabbed w's hand and,
with surprising strength, threw w toward wtwo.
wtwo's body was hurled backward, its mouth open in shock. A glint of blue light flickered
in w's eyes.
In an instant, Baby Bear reappeared above wtwo, claws drawn, and struck with unexpected
force.
"Teddi! Teddi?" (Enough! Do you really want to see everyone perish in battle? We're all Pokémon-why must we hurt each other?)
"w!" w echoed, its frustration clear.
wtwo ignored Baby Bear's plea and blasted both w and Baby Bear away, saying coldly,
"To prove that we are the strongest!"
Baby Bear flew forward again and asked, "Teddi?" (What's the point of proving you're the
strongest? Don't you still have to live in this world? Why can't you try to get along now and live together peacefully?)
wtwo was speechless for a mont, only to snort dismissively. His psychic energy turned into a sharp blade, slicing through the air.
With w's help, Baby Bear dodged the psychic blade in a flash.
w took over for Baby Bear, and once again, the two most powerful Pokémon in the world
clashed.
At that mont, a figure suddenly rushed forward, positioning himself between w and
wtwo.
"That's enough!" Ash shouted.
Both w and wtwo froze for a split second.
w instinctively tried to pull back its power, but it was too late.
The opposing forces collided within Ash's body. In a violent explosion, his body turned into
stone and slowly crumbled to the ground, lifeless. Everyone-humans and Pokémon alike-stood in stunned silence.
wtwo scowled and muttered angrily, "How foolish... A re human trying to stop our
fight!" "Pikapi!" Pikachu ran up to Ash, desperate, calling out to him and trying to shock him back to life, like always.
But no matter how much electricity Pikachu poured into him, Ash remained motionless.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu cried out, overwheld with grief, tears streaming down its face, falling to
the ground below.
Seeing this, Baby Bear's expression softened, moved by the sight.
"Teddi..." (Oh no...)
It turned to see that all the Pokémon had stopped fighting. They stood silently, tears welling
in their eyes as they watched Ash and Pikachu.
Then, sothing miraculous happened.
Starlight began to gather around Ash, and with a soft, warm glow, Ash slowly opened his eyes.
Pikachu's eyes brightened. "Pika... Pikachu!"
Seeing that the battle had ended, Ash smiled and hugged Pikachu tightly. "We did it!"
"Was that... the 'Tears of Life'?" Nurse Joy murmured softly.
Brock turned to her in confusion. "The Tears of Life?"
Nurse Joy nodded. "Yes, it's a healing technique that releases one's deepest emotional energy
in the form of tears."
"A long ti ago, a Pokémon lost its life in battle. Its trainer, overco with grief, shed tears
that brought the Pokémon back to life."
Misty looked puzzled. "Humans... can use Pokémon's moves?"
Joy smiled faintly. "In extraordinary monts, when the bond between human and Pokémon
is strong enough... it seems anything is possible."
...
In mid-air, wtwo silently observed the scene below.
It no longer fought but felt a deep sense of confusion. Its mind was clouded with conflicting
emotions.
"Why?" wtwo muttered.
w, floating beside it, said gently, "w." (We are all living beings, whether humans or
cloned Pokémon, we all exist in this world.)
wtwo closed its eyes and said quietly, "Indeed, you and I both exist. We are both...
Pokémon." "Perhaps it's better if no one rembers this. Maybe it's best if everyone forgets."
"We were all born, we all live, and we all must go on... sowhere in this world."
w tilted its head, watching as wtwo seed to reach a new understanding. A soft blue glow enveloped wtwo, and the clone Pokémon below began to glow as well, rising into the clear sky to follow it.
Seeing this, w and Baby Bear followed suit.
wtwo glanced at the pair and finally asked, "Who are you?"
Baby Bear hesitated for a mont. "Teddi..." (We're a heroic exploration team!)
w giggled, covering her mouth.
wtwo raised an eyebrow, confused. "A... heroic exploration team?"
Baby Bear nodded and explained, "Teddi, Teddi." (Yes, we travel and help Pokémon in need.
So far, it's just the two of us, but we've helped many!)
wtwo seed to grasp the idea, responding with a simple "Oh," before falling silent,
gazing off into the distance deep in thought.
After an unknown amount of ti, they landed on a beautiful, uninhabited cliff. The steep
landscape assured no humans would disturb them.
wtwo surveyed the area and said, "We are not ready to be discovered by humans yet, so we
will live here. What about you? Will you stay with us?"
Baby Bear shook his head enthusiastically. "Teddi!" (There are still many Pokémon out there
that need our help!)
w nodded in agreent. "w!"
wtwo blinked, then replied, "I see."
As the heroic exploration team prepared to leave, Baby Bear suddenly had an idea. It pulled
out a cara from its bag and excitedly called out, "Teddi!" (Let's take a group photo
together!) wtwo looked puzzled. "Group photo?"
Baby Bear eagerly explained the concept of a cara and taking photos. But when wtwo
realized humans might see it, it floated back, its expression darkening. "I don't want humans interfering with our lives."
Baby Bear frowned, sharing a confused glance with w. "Teddi..." (But Naoki is a really good human...) wtwo raised an eyebrow. "Naoki?"
Baby Bear nodded. "Teddi, Teddi." (He helped . If it weren't for Naoki, I'd still be living in
the mountains, stealing honey every day, probably caught by humans. Naoki is the best
human ever!) Baby Bear's eyes sparkled as it spoke, full of admiration. w, equally enthusiastic, added,
"w!" (And Naoki's cooking is the most delicious food in the world!) wtwo stared for a mont. "..."
Then, after a brief pause, Baby Bear excitedly rembered sothing. "Teddi! Teddi!" (By
the way, Naoki even opened a tavern just for Pokémon! Pokémon in need go there to find
him!)
w shared its mories of Naoki with wtwo, who remained silent after seeing them. wtwo couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed by how... peculiar this human was. Burying his face in a Pokémon's belly? It wasn't sure how to feel about that. However, wtwo had to admit that Naoki treated Pokémon with genuine kindness and
respect.
After a long silence, wtwo finally relented. "Fine... but only one photo." "Teddi!" Baby Bear cheered. "w!" w added with a happy giggle.
w and Baby Bear's eyes suddenly lit up. They took two photos with wtwo and the group of cloned Pokémon.
One photo was left for wtwo and the cloned Pokémon, and the other was ant to be sent
back ho to share their journey with Naoki.
...
Looking at the photo in his hand, Naoki nearly spits out the juice he had just sipped.
'Was he seeing this right?'
'Was that really wtwo?'
'When did Baby Bear and w et wtwo?!'
'Could it be that their incredible luck had co into play again?'
"Unbelievable."
Naoki didn't even want to imagine what they might encounter next.
After his initial shock wore off, Naoki took a deep breath and cald down.
'Stay calm, stay calm'. He was used to farming with Koraidon, so seeing wtwo's picture
shouldn't surprise him so much anymore.
With that thought, Naoki stood up, frad the photo, and hung it on the wall of the tavern.
He checked the ti and realized it was already 4:50 in the evening.
Just then, the sound of a truck engine rumbled from outside the ranch.
Naoki headed out to sell that day's fresh Moomoo milk and goat's milk to Zack, then returned to prepare dinner.
By the ti he and his Pokémon finished dinner, it was exactly seven o'clock. Naoki casually opened the door of the tavern, officially beginning a business for the night.
At 7:05 p.m., the two Machamps arrived right on ti, as always.
They ordered two glasses of juice and started chatting about their day.
Naoki sat behind the bar, quietly listening to their conversation.
Not long after, a Quaquaval sauntered in, swaying in its usual carefree manner.
This particular Pokémon was working in the Kosaji Town Fire Departnt. Two days ago, it heard about a tavern that exclusively served Pokémon, and since then, after
each shift, it would waddle over here, strike a playful pose, and sip on a glass of juice with
elegant flair.
"Did work go well today?" Naoki asked with a smile, pouring a glass of juice.
The Quaquaval took the goblet gracefully. "Quack." (Very smoothly.)
It found an empty table, sat down, and drank its juice while listening to the chat between the
Dratini and the Dragonairs next to it.
The Quaquaval sat in the tavern until nine o'clock before finally getting up. It paid for its
drinks with five dark blue feathers.
Naoki: "..."
I have to admit, this Pokémon is a bit of a narcissist.
