In the Kanto region, at Mt. Tensei.
Because Fuyuki wanted to observe wild Pokémon along the roadside, they had been stopping frequently, spending a considerable amount of time on the journey.
Therefore, by the time Fuyuki and Raikou returned to Mt. Tensei, nearly half a month had passed.
They had just climbed halfway up the mountain when they saw Entei standing there, brows furrowed, a solemn and dignified expression on its face, looking down at them.
Being looked at like that by Entei, Fuyuki and Raikou immediately felt a pang of guilt.
Raikou was initially a little guilty, but then it thought, why should it be guilty?
The little one was its child; as a father, what was wrong with taking its child out for a trip?
So Raikou immediately felt justified.
"Daddy~" Fuyuki slid off Raikou's smooth fur and ran to Entei, hugging its leg and starting to whine, "When did you get back?"
Entei thought to itself, "If I hadn't come back, you and Raikou would probably have run off somewhere.
"Just got back a little while ago."
Entei carefully checked Fuyuki over, and seeing that it wasn't injured or sick, it was relieved.
Then, it looked up at Raikou and frowned, "Raikou, you shouldn't have taken Little One out!"
"I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business!" Raikou glared and snorted, "Besides, Little One has me protecting it, no one can hurt it!"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two Pokémon was a bit strange and they were about to argue, Fuyuki quickly climbed onto Entei and said,
"I asked Second Daddy to take me to the human world!"
"You went to the human world?" Hearing this, Entei's brows furrowed even more.
"Hmph." Raikou snorted coldly, "We can go wherever we want."
Entei didn't speak, a hint of worry in its heart, because the little one wasn't a Pokémon after all, but a human.
What worried it was that after interacting with humans, the little one would choose to return to human life, stay in the human world, and abandon them.
Seeing things getting worse, Fuyuki quickly said, "Daddy, I'm hungry, I'm so tired, I want to sleep!"
Entei snapped out of its reverie. It silently led Fuyuki home, then brought a basket of berries and placed it in front of him.
Fuyuki ate a simple meal, and the father and son went upstairs. Entei lay down on the carpet, becoming Fuyuki's usual plush pillow.
Raikou followed.
Fuyuki nestled in Entei's arms, winking at it, indicating that it didn't need to worry.
His little interaction with Raikou naturally didn't escape Entei's notice, but Entei didn't care. It simply looked at Raikou and, using telepathy, told it something important behind the little one's back.
"A strange thing has been happening on this land lately." "
Pokémon are disappearing everywhere. Not long ago, I tracked a group of strange humans to a mysterious underground base."
"There, I discovered that those humans seemed to be conducting some kind of evil experiment on Pokémon."
Hearing this, Raikou's expression immediately turned serious.
"Who is doing this?"
Entei: "They call themselves Team Rocket. According to the Pokémon I rescued, those humans seem to be conducting an evil experiment called 'cloning.'"
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Raikou frowned. It naturally understood what Entei meant.
Normally, the actions of humans had nothing to do with them.
But this matter involved a large number of Pokémon, and they had to do something.
"I understand." Raikou said in a deep voice, "This time, I will go to protect those Pokémon."
"Yes, it's up to you." Entei nodded.
The two beasts stopped talking. Entei looked down at the little one in its arms and saw that it had fallen into a deep sleep.
After a long silence, Entei spoke again: "You shouldn't have taken Little One to the human world."
Raikou initially wanted to say that this was none of Entei's business, but it quickly sensed that Entei seemed worried and anxious.
"What are you afraid of?" it asked.
"Little One is, after all, human," Entei said in a low voice. "If he comes into contact with humans and chooses to stay in the human world..."
Hearing this, Raikou fell silent.
The image of Little One's reluctant expression when Professor Oak tried to persuade him to stay flashed through its mind.
"No matter what, I will not leave Little One," Raikou said indifferently. "Even if he wants to stay in the human world, I will protect him."
Entei didn't speak, because it knew it would make the same choice as Raikou.
Having spent so many years together, they could no longer sever their feelings for this child.
He would be their first child, and their only child.
"Protect Little One. I should leave now,"
Raikou stood up and said coldly to Entei.
Next, Entei will protect their little home, while it will go to fulfill its mission: to protect the weaker Pokémon.
Meanwhile, in Viridian City, at the Viridian Gym.
In a room decorated with understated luxury, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut sat upright on a leather sofa, his large hands gently stroking a smooth-furred Meowth.
"Matori, what happened?" The man's voice was authoritative without being angry.
"Boss... Alpha Base was invaded by an unknown force, and everything inside was destroyed! The Kanto League has already rushed there!"
"However, boss, don't worry, Professor Fuji has safely evacuated with the research data!" Matori reported.
Giovanni frowned: "Was it Lance?"
This newly appointed League investigator had indeed hindered Team Rocket's operations in many ways.
"No, I don't know, the central computer connected to the monitoring equipment was destroyed immediately..." Matori shook his head seriously.
"I understand." Giovanni closed his eyes, as if pondering, and after a long while, his voice rang out again.
"The New Island Laboratory should be nearing completion. Now, let Dr. Fuji take the data there!" With that, Giovanni's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Hmph, once Project Mewtwo is complete, no one will be able to stop me from ruling this world!"
"Then I congratulate you in advance, Boss!" As Giovanni's closest confidant, Matori naturally knew the details of the [Mewtwo Project].
It involved fusing the genes from the Mew Eyelashs fossil with human genes to create the world's strongest Pokémon, Mewtwo!
"But... Boss, what about Alpha Base?" Matori asked.
"Since Professor Fuji has safely evacuated with the data, let those investigators handle the rest!"
Giovanni smiled confidently.
As the head of Team Rocket, who would have thought he was currently sitting openly in this Viridian Gym, working for the Kanto League?
