Jiang Mo had been in the Xicui Secret Realm for about a month, and during this time, he almost put all his effort into the “prenatal education” of Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y.
Every day, besides telling them Ash’s adventure stories, he would also have Gengar, Tyranitar, Goodra, and other Pokémon take turns accompanying them to help them understand the outside world.
Later, Jiang Mo simply instructed Lingxi to bring over the Rotom that Kyoto University had given him, so it could possess a computer and act as an encyclopedia.
On this day, Jiang Mo was sitting in the laboratory, telling the two Mewtwo the story of Ash becoming the first Champion in the Alola region.
Suddenly, a telepathic message sounded in Jiang Mo’s mind.
“Jiang Mo! Get out here and take this troublesome guy away!”
This was clearly Mew’s voice, so it seemed Pikachu had recovered.
Jiang Mo didn’t say a word and rushed out of the laboratory.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Pikachu standing not far away, excitedly waving its small paws at him.
“Pika Pika!”
As soon as Pikachu saw Jiang Mo, it immediately bounced over, directly jumping onto Jiang Mo’s shoulder and rubbing its small head against his cheek.
Feeling Pikachu’s familiar warmth, a warm current instantly surged through Jiang Mo’s heart.
He gently stroked Pikachu’s head and said with a smile, “Pikachu, you’re finally back! I was so worried during this time.”
“Pika Pika!”
Pikachu looked up, its eyes full of emotion.
Although Pikachu had been in a coma before, it was not entirely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
It knew that Jiang Mo, in order to save it, gave up all the temptations offered by Ho-Oh, and even risked his “life” to go to the Tian Guan Mountain Range to find Sacred Ash.
That’s right, in Pikachu’s opinion, seeking help from a first-level god-tier existence was an extremely dangerous act.
This sincere affection moved it beyond words.
Jiang Mo smiled, gently patted Pikachu’s head, and said, “You are my partner, how could I give up on you? As long as you’re fine, I’m relieved.”
Just then, Mew also flew over, landing on Jiang Mo’s other shoulder, frantically accusing Pikachu of its outrageous behavior.
It held a Tree Fruit in its mouth, eating it while looking at Jiang Mo with a resentful gaze.
“Mew~ (Jiang Mo, don’t forget, Pikachu still owes me a lot of world origin!)” Mew’s voice sounded in Jiang Mo’s mind, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
Only then did Jiang Mo remember Mew’s existence, and he quickly said with a smile, “Lord Menghuan, please rest assured, I will definitely find a way to compensate you.”
“However, how is Pikachu now? Has its injuries fully recovered?”
Mew hummed, then said, “Mew~ (Its injuries healed long ago, and its strength has improved a lot. However, this guy really messed me up!)”
Jiang Mo was startled and quickly scanned Pikachu’s status with the game panel.

Jiang Mo’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw Pikachu’s level had directly broken through to the Elite Four mid-stage: “Holy crap, Pikachu, did you take drugs? How did your strength increase so fast?”
Pikachu scratched its head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “Pika Pika…”
Pikachu indicated that it didn’t know anything, it just slept, and when it woke up, it became stronger.
Mew immediately stomped its feet in anger when it heard this: “Mew~ (How can you even say that! Do you know you almost drained the World Tree dry!)”
Jiang Mo was stunned and quickly asked, “Lord Menghuan, what exactly happened?”
Mew sighed and then began to recount what had happened.
It turned out that after Mew brought Pikachu back to the World Tree, it placed it in the core of the World Tree.
That was where the world origin was most concentrated, and Mew originally intended to use the power of the world origin to help Pikachu recover as quickly as possible.
However, what it didn’t expect was that as soon as Pikachu entered the World Tree’s core, it began to frantically absorb the world origin.
The speed of absorption was like a bottomless pit, and the World Tree’s origin energy decreased at a visible rate.
Mew panicked at that moment and quickly used its own world origin to replenish it, but Pikachu’s absorption speed was too fast, and almost all of the world origin that Mew had painstakingly saved for many years was sucked dry by Pikachu.
“Mew~ (If I hadn’t stabilized the World Tree with the world origin I had saved in time, I’m afraid the World Tree would have withered by now!)” Mew’s voice carried a hint of lingering fear.
After listening, Jiang Mo immediately felt a wave of guilt.
He didn’t expect that Pikachu’s recovery process would consume so much world origin, and even less did he expect that Mew had almost emptied its own savings to save Pikachu.
Fortunately, Pikachu was not a true bottomless pit; it woke up after it had absorbed enough.
After the incident, Mew was on the verge of tears. All the world origin it had painstakingly saved was gone. This was all the wealth it had accumulated over hundreds of years, just like that.
After saying all this, its gaze towards Pikachu became unkind.
You annoying yellow rodent, you owe me world origin, boo hoo hoo T﹏T...
Pikachu scratched its head, a bit embarrassed. This kind of thing was purely accidental; it couldn’t control itself at the time.
Mew truly felt that it had suffered a huge loss. Forget about secretly earning some Sacred Ash; now it had even lost its own capital.
It clung tightly to Jiang Mo’s head, knowing that finding Pikachu was useless, so it had to ask Jiang Mo, the Trainer, for compensation.
“Lord Menghuan, I’m truly sorry, we didn’t expect this to happen…” Jiang Mo said sincerely.
Mew snorted, then tugged at his hair with its small paw: “Mew~ (Apologies are useless, you have to compensate me for my losses!)”
However, Jiang Mo didn’t know what to use to compensate Mew. The most valuable thing he had was probably that steel plate.
But Mew had said before that it wasn’t interested in this thing. There was nothing Jiang Mo could do but continue to use his deceptive tactics.
