Chapter 161: Leading the Philosopher Mewtwo
Only a minute passed between Mewtwo losing consciousness and regaining it.
Its physique is different from that of many psychic-type Pokémon with weak physical strength. Its enormous mental power is constantly tempering and changing its physical strength. Even though it is an artificial Pokémon, it also possesses the strong physical strength of a legendary Pokémon.
At this moment, it was lying in the huge pit created by the Roentgen cat on the coast. There was no sign of treatment on its wounds, and its whole body was still sore. Now it had only regained consciousness, and it was still a long way from recovering to its full strength.
Mewtwo watched the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipate and the storm at sea subside. He thought that the sun would shine here as well.
However, as a loser, it is not qualified to enjoy such sunlight.
Because it has failed, it no longer has any meaning to exist.
Mewtwo's eyes became unfocused. At this moment, his heart was filled with confusion and emptiness. He didn't know what to do after losing the title of "the strongest".
Until Luo Mu bent his fingers and hit Mewtwo on the forehead with a slap.
"What are you doing here, don't tell me you're suffering from jade syndrome just because you lost a battle."
Luo Mu could clearly see the change in Mewtwo's expression after he woke up, and knew that this philosopher was probably dwelling on philosophical issues again.
"E, M, O? Jade Syndrome? What is that?"
Mewtwo was silent for a long time before its telepathy appeared in Luo Mu's mind.
Luo Mu didn't mind the fact that the ground was scorched black by the lightning of Roentgen Cat. He called Roentgen Cat, Dragonite and Messenger Bird to sit in a row. He sighed and said in a softer voice: "Just treat it as my nonsense. You should calm down now. Can we talk?"
".Um."
Chaomeng was silent for a while, and then he made a sound with a strong nasal tone.
In its inner thoughts, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat were the strongest, and now that it had lost to them, it had no right to bargain.
Seeing Mewtwo's bad look, Luo Mu frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
In the animation and movies, no one can rival Mewtwo. Even in the Clear Cliff period, Mewtwo, who had gradually awakened, was only restrained by the highly targeted technological weapons of Team Rocket. Therefore, Mewtwo has never shown its side as a "weak" or "loser".
Now, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand why Mewtwo, who was still madly trying to gain recognition from the world and confirm his own existence, suddenly suffered a Waterloo and his mentality collapsed.
However, how to talk back to Mewtwo is still a common problem for countless time travelers.
Even Luo Mu cannot guarantee that he can give a better answer than the one Mewtwo found in the original plot line.
Finally, Chaomeng, who was still at a loss, slowly told the story: "I was created by you humans."
"I once thought that the purpose of my birth was to obey the Creator's orders and fight endlessly. This was the whole meaning of my existence."
"But I soon realized that was wrong. I didn't beg anyone to create me, nor did I ask anyone to let me be born. I resented every human being equally, including my creators. Since they all said that I was the strongest, why should I obey their orders when they were weak?"
Luo Mu sat up straight. Was Mewtwo analyzing its own confused mind?
"I once thought that being the strongest was the meaning of my existence, but I lost to you. The only goal I pursued has lost its meaning. There is no place for me in this world anymore."
"I'm neither a human nor a Pokémon. So who do you say I am? Where am I? What is the meaning of my existence?" Mewtwo's voice was full of confusion, as if after losing to Romulus and Roentgen, the only motivation supporting it was completely lost.
The Roentgen Cat, Dragonite and Mewtwo who were squatting on the side were almost confused by Mewtwo. They all thought that Mewtwo was a villain who relied on his great power to do whatever he wanted, but they never expected that its inner world was so complicated.
Luo Mu pondered for a while and said carefully: "In short, you feel that as a creation of mankind, you will not be accepted by the world like Pokémon, and you are not a member of the human race, so you are looking for the meaning of your existence?"
Chaomeng said in a muffled voice: "Yes."
For some reason, it shouldn't have analyzed its own psychology like this to others, but facing the human who defeated it head-on, it did not stop talking.
"First of all, you must be a Pokémon, there is no doubt about that." Luo Mu said while stroking his chin. Seeing Mewtwo's obvious expression of disapproval, he shook his head and said, "No matter who you are, as long as you come to this world, it means that you have been accepted by the world. It has nothing to do with race. It's just that you are born into this world as a life, which is already a very remarkable thing."
Mewtwo hesitated: "I"
Luo Mu interrupted, "Don't rush to refute me. You are not the first artificial Pokémon in the world, and your kind are not like you who think about these philosophical questions all day long. They are still living as Pokémon in a corner of this world."
"If you have the chance, you can go find them and learn from their experiences. I'm sure they were just as confused as you are now about this strange world. But that's normal. How long have you been born? There's no need to find the answer right away. You still have a long life ahead of you. There's no need for such radical methods. You can also learn to think slowly."
Mewtwo's eyes widened slightly. Are there other species of it in this world?
"You don't need to find an answer right away to the meaning of your existence. Just like the road to being the strongest is still very far away from you and me, keep walking down to earth, and one day you will find your own answer."
After saying that, Luo Mu stretched out his hand and motioned for Mewtwo to hold it.
Chaomeng looked at him in confusion, and Luo Mu said, "You always think you are the strongest, and now that I have defeated you, I am the strongest, right?"
Mewtwo nodded.
"However, there are many more powerful people in this wonderful and magnificent world who are far stronger than you and me. Your current vision is bound by obsession and is too narrow."
"You can read other people's memories, right? There is a memory I want you to see."
Luo Mu's smile overlapped with the sunlight shining above his head. His smile was very similar to the smile in the family photo in Mewtwo's memory, which made Mewtwo involuntarily reach out his hand and shake hands with him, and some of his recovered super powers began to surge.
Then it saw the black and gold sky dragon that Luo Mu had been impressed with, and Luo Mu's former shock and powerlessness were also clearly audible.
Mewtwo murmured, "What is that.?"
Luo Mu replied: "That's Rayquaza, a Pokémon that lives outside the ozone layer of this planet. Even you can't break through and reach there now, right?"
Although reluctant, Mewtwo nodded in affirmation.
"Don't forget, those cloned Pokémon are also your companions. Even if you are not the "strongest", you still let them be born into this world as lives."
"Your future is still long. Don't be bound by the constraints imposed on you by anyone. Tell me, what are your true thoughts?"
