Jiang Mo stretched out his hands, gently stroking Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y's heads respectively.
Immediately after, he opened the “Skill Machine” option in the game panel deep within his consciousness, selected the Shadow Ball move, and taught it to them.
Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y possessed exceptional aptitude, and with the game panel's enhancement, they mastered Shadow Ball almost in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, they felt a sudden surge of Ghost-type energy within them, an energy they instinctively disliked, yet strangely, their control over it was perfectly flawless.
Shock and confusion appeared on Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y's faces; their gazes towards Jiang Mo were filled with disbelief, utterly unable to comprehend how he had accomplished all of this.
Jiang Mo looked at their worshipful eyes and couldn't help but feel smug, secretly pleased that he had put on quite a show again this time.
Mewtwo X immediately flew high into the sky, and in an open area, it condensed and fired a Shadow Ball.
The immense power startled Mewtwo X; the move's strength was no less than its own Psycho Cut, and Ghost-type moves naturally countered its Psychic type.
Mewtwo X thought to himself, if he had known this move before, the battle with Mewtwo Y wouldn't have been so difficult.
Following that, Jiang Mo taught Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y all the moves available in the game panel that Mewtwo could learn, such as Dark Pulse, Protect, and Thunderbolt.
Without exception, Jiang Mo's incomprehensible series of extraordinary actions completely conquered these two powerful Pokémon.
After the matter concluded, Jiang Mo told them, “Don't call me father anymore; it sounds strange.
If you're going to call someone father, call Mew father; he's your biological dad.
From now on, you can just call me Young Master.”
...
Ever since the Hisui Secret Realm became Dawn's main rear base, Jiang Mo had intentionally begun gradually relocating Dawn's headquarters here.
The Hisui Secret Realm's concealment and abundant resources provided immense convenience for Dawn's development.
And the “Rebirth” Operation, as Dawn's crucial plan for selecting new recruits, was also arranged here.
The “Rebirth” Operation is the Dawn Organization's core plan for selecting new recruits; most participants come from slums and are between 12 and 16 years old.
These young boys and girls mostly come from impoverished backgrounds and live difficult lives, but they all share a common goal—to change their fate through the “Rebirth” Operation.
Dawn offers them an opportunity, but behind that opportunity lies brutal competition and elimination.
Ultimately, only the most outstanding individuals can survive and become members of Dawn.
Chen Jiaxing, as the chief instructor of the “Rebirth” Operation, is responsible for training and selecting these new recruits.
He was once also a participant in the “Rebirth” Operation and was one of the best among them.
His experience made him deeply aware of the plan's brutality, so he was extremely strict with these new recruits; the nickname “Butcher” became a nightmare for the recruits.
Jiang Mo decided to personally inspect the progress of the “Rebirth” Operation.
He did not inform anyone in advance but quietly went to the training base.
He wanted to see the true state of these new recruits and also to see if Chen Jiaxing's training methods were reasonable.
The training base is located by a river beach in the Hisui Secret Realm; after construction by Dawn, it has formed a small training camp.
Dormitories, cafeterias, mission halls, training grounds, hospitals, and other facilities are all available, tailor-made for these new recruits.
Jiang Mo first arrived at the cafeteria.
It was mealtime, and the cafeteria was filled with young boys and girls eating.
Most of them were wearing the training uniforms uniformly issued by Dawn, with tired and nervous expressions on their faces.
Jiang Mo noticed that although there were many people in the cafeteria, the atmosphere was very oppressive; almost no one was talking, and everyone was quietly eating.
Suddenly, the broadcast sounded the call for assembly.
The previously quiet cafeteria instantly became noisy, and the young boys and girls quickly put down their utensils and hurried out of the cafeteria.
Jiang Mo heard them discussing in low voices:
“Hurry, hurry, the Butcher is going to rage again!”
“I wonder what we're training today; yesterday almost killed me.”
“Don't complain; it's good enough to survive; I don't want to be eliminated.”
“Sigh, another dozen people died yesterday.
Our batch of new recruits, from the initial two thousand, now only has over a thousand left...”
Jiang Mo listened to their conversation; it seemed Chen Jiaxing was very strict with these new recruits.
These young boys and girls, despite their tender age, had already experienced too much hardship.
Ultimately, probably no more than thirty percent would survive and successfully join Dawn.
The others, as per custom, would become stepping stones for the victors, their bones scattered.
It was cruel, but also very realistic; Dawn did not take in useless people, nor did it have that much money to support them.
If they wanted to defy fate, they could only strive to climb higher.
Dawn at least provided them with an opportunity, an opportunity to defy fate.
Otherwise, under the Alliance's rule, these people born in the slums wouldn't even have the chance to go to school, let alone become Trainers.
Those who could live in the city and smoothly acquire a starter Pokémon usually had some financial means.
Jiang Mo did not linger in the cafeteria but followed the crowd to the training ground.
On the training ground, Chen Jiaxing stood on a high platform, coldly observing the new recruits below.
His gaze, like a knife, swept across everyone's faces, and then he immediately spotted Jiang Mo.
Although he was surprised why Jiang Mo had arrived here so quietly, he did not show any unusual reaction.
Chen Jiaxing stood on the high platform, his gaze sharp as he scanned the young boys and girls below.
His voice was stern and powerful, like a sharp sword, piercing into everyone's hearts: “Today is the day you have long awaited—the day to receive your starter Pokémon.”
The young people below instantly erupted upon hearing this news.
Their faces showed excitement, nervousness, and anticipation; some even had tears in their eyes.
For these children from the slums, owning their own Pokémon meant they finally had a chance to change their fate and escape a life of poverty and hardship.
“Finally, this day has come!” a boy clenched his fists and whispered.
“I must choose the strongest Pokémon and become an official member of Dawn!” another girl's eyes sparkled with determination.
Jiang Mo stood aside, quietly observing the reactions of these new recruits.
The choice and nurturing of their starter Pokémon would fundamentally determine their future achievements.
Chen Jiaxing waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
His voice remained cold, but it carried an undeniable authority: “There are a total of 1036 of you here, but the organization has only prepared five hundred Pokémon today, which means 536 of you will not be able to receive a starter Pokémon.”
