‘Useless thing!’ Ditto said coldly, not expecting the defective Triple-Headed Bird to be so weak, unable to withstand even one Double Cross Chop from Mega Beedrill.

After briefly adapting to Beedrill’s pressure, Ditto transformed back into its human form, though its face showed a hint of fatigue. Clearly, mimicking the gray-haired youth’s appearance was quite an exhausting task for Ditto.

Seeing this, the Blood-Red Gyarados opened its massive mouth and used Crunch, aiming at Ditto! Ditto trembled and quickly used Splash to avoid the attack, but was hit in the abdomen by the Blood-Red Gyarados’s Iron Tail during a sidestep. The powerful impact caused Ditto to crash into the wall, creating a spiderweb-like crater.

The distressed Ditto could not help but vomit fresh blood, but this scene did not elicit any sympathy from anyone. Only the three Pokémon showed the satisfaction of successful revenge.

Dodrio, seeing Ditto’s miserable state, also had its eyes light up with joy, and tears uncontrollably streamed from its eyes. But Red and the Pokémon had no intention of mocking Dodrio; they only felt sympathy for Dodrio.

Seeing an opportunity for revenge, Dodrio’s three heads excitedly used Drill Peck simultaneously. The sharp, rotating three beaks, like a deadly spear, appeared before Ditto.

(Oh no!)

Ditto rose in fright, quickly transforming into Golem to block Dodrio’s attack, and then used Double-Edge, sending the Dodrio that wanted to kill it flying. Fortunately, Red timely used Psychic to protect it.

Ditto transformed back into human form, retrieved a megaphone from behind it, and placed it over its throat. “Did not you realize I was stalling for time? You foolish boy!”

The progress bar on the display screen behind Ditto was already at 99%, clearly indicating that the cloning experiment of experiment body no. 0 was nearing completion, and the Triple-Headed Bird was about to appear.

“I am starting to doubt if Dr. Namba is as formidable as I imagined. The Pokémon he trained are actually this foolish,” Red mocked, while the Pokémon beside him looked expectant, clearly having already discovered the existence of the Triple-Headed Bird.

“We just wanted to eliminate it right in front of you!” Millennium Gengar said leisurely.

“Arrogant fellows, I will make you regret the decision you are making now!”

Ditto roared hysterically, then slowly transformed into a liquid and flowed downwards under the gaze of Red and the Pokémon.

“It seems this guy wants to merge with the cloned Triple-Headed Bird,” Red guessed, telling his Pokémon to prepare for battle.

“Do not worry, Boss, our strength is not that weak,” Millennium Gengar said confidently.

An ominous aura spread from below. The surrounding alarm sounds, like an impending doomsday catastrophe, pounded on the hearts of Red and the Pokémon, making them heighten their vigilance.

Suddenly, everything before them became calm. Before a moment passed, a disturbance erupted in front of Red, and an extremely hideous-looking creature appeared in the sky, controlling the air with its massive wings.

“I am increasingly unable to understand human aesthetics…” Millennium Gengar murmured, gazing at the Triple-Headed Bird in the sky.

The Triple-Headed Bird’s physical appearance was extremely bizarre. The left and right heads were Articuno and Zapdos, respectively, each extending one of their wings. The Moltres head in the middle controlled the body, with scorching flames burning on its back. Apart from the three unique tails of the Three Legendary Birds, there were also three bizarre feet below.

Compared to the previous failed clone of the Triple-Headed Bird, the Triple-Headed Bird appearing before Red now looked more like a creature forcibly stitched together from normal Legendary Birds.

“That guy merged into the brain; only the middle Moltres head has consciousness,” Red said, pointing at the Moltres head in the middle of the Triple-Headed Bird. Only this head showed an observing expression; the other two heads were dull, merely bodies to be driven.

‘I will go first!’

The Blood-Red Gyarados roared again, forcibly weakening the Triple-Headed Bird’s attack power, and then used Hyper Beam, releasing a beam of light towards the Triple-Headed Bird.

The Triple-Headed Bird reacted immediately, releasing fire, electricity, and ice simultaneously, merging them into one to counter the power of Hyper Beam. With the combined power of the three moves, it even suppressed Hyper Beam.

‘Let me!’ Beedrill said in a low voice, its afterimage disappearing from its original spot. It instantly appeared behind the Triple-Headed Bird and once again used X-Scissor.

But this time, the Triple-Headed Bird was prepared. Flames ignited behind it, obstructing Beedrill’s attack. Beedrill, forced to change its plan, had no choice but to use Pin Missile to drain the Triple-Headed Bird’s stamina.

‘Watch me knock you down!’

Charizard, covered in a purplish-gold Dragon’s Might, transformed into a giant energy dragon and crashed head-on into the Triple-Headed Bird. Fearing Charizard’s strength, the Triple-Headed Bird tried to dodge in advance but was controlled in place by Millennium Gengar, who was hiding in the shadows and used Hypnosis!

A fierce collision erupted with terrifying destruction. The Triple-Headed Bird in the sky stiffly fell to the ground, making a ‘thud’ sound.

“No way? Is that all?” Millennium Gengar said smugly, floating theatrically in front of the Triple-Headed Bird, making a highly mocking ghost face.

(Damn it, if only you were not ganging up on me…)

Ditto, inside the Triple-Headed Bird, thought indignantly. If it were a one-on-one, it might have been able to win with this cloned body. But it just had to encounter a ‘deviant’ team like Red’s, who attacked without hesitation, completely unlike the battle style a 10-year-old boy should have.

“Gyarados, you make the final blow,” Red said.

The Blood-Red Gyarados pressed its massive tail onto the Triple-Headed Bird’s back, feeling no pain from the flames burning on its body. At close range, it aimed at the Triple-Headed Bird’s head and concentrated the energy for Hyper Beam!

(Oh no, I need to get out of here quickly!)

Ditto looked in terror at the Hyper Beam that was about to form, fidgeting anxiously, but Red had already used Psychic to control Ditto in place, allowing the Blood-Red Gyarados to fully exact its revenge.

Dazzling light was injected into the Triple-Headed Bird’s body. The genes that had just stabilized within its body collapsed again due to the power of Hyper Beam.

An explosion occurred before their eyes. The Triple-Headed Bird in front of Red reverted to a state of fleshy goo, making one want to vomit.

Red frowned unhappily at the gradually decaying fleshy goo in front of him, signaling Charizard to quickly release fire to destroy it so it would not pollute his eyes.

Just then, Hitmonchan, who had rushed over, coincidentally met Abra, who had arrived using Teleport. They both lay on the ground. The two Pokémon originally disliked each other’s actions, and this time, they naturally started a small scuffle.

Fortunately, Hitmonchan reacted first, tapping Abra’s forehead to remind it that Red was waiting for their support.

To reach Red’s location as quickly as possible, Abra took Hitmonchan and used Teleport, moving back and forth between rooms. They occasionally encountered Team Rocket members who had just woken up, but even they could not withstand the combined attacks of Hitmonchan and Abra and were easily defeated by the two Pokémon.

Finally, Hitmonchan carried the exhausted Abra to the laboratory that had just experienced a battle.
