Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 309 Mewtwo's Genetic Disease

After leaving the Bonney Canyon, Li Shuwen rode Milton to Akala Island to meet up with Cynthia and her group.

As is well known, Akala Island is a volcanic island.

And it's an active volcano!

The most famous attraction on Akala Island is undoubtedly its volcanic hot springs.

Hapuu enthusiastically explained, "The volcanic hot springs on Akala Island are said to have healing effects on the body and mind. Of course, this is just advertising; not all volcanic hot springs have such effects."

"However, the hot spring we visited today is full of vitality and has some healing effects on injuries."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Then let's set off immediately."

Li Meining happily pumped her fist, "Yay! Soaking in the hot springs! Perfect for relieving the fatigue from these past two days of training."

Li Shuwen ruffled her hair. "Now that you've obtained the Fairy Z Crystal, do you have any plans to catch a Fairy-type Pokémon?"

Li Meining shook her head. "I heard that Fairy-type Pokémon are difficult to train if they leave areas rich in fairy energy."

"I'll stick to fighting and training some ordinary Pokémon."

Li Shuwen thought about it and agreed, "Then let's wait a bit longer. Once you have enough knowledge, you can try breeding Fairy-type Pokémon."

Led by Hapuu, everyone headed towards the volcanic hot springs.

Li Shuwen keenly noticed that Mewtwo's expression was a little unnatural when it used its psychic powers to fly.

My grandfather was the king of the islands, and Hapuu had acquaintances on all four islands.

If it weren't for Hapuu's help in reserving a spot at this volcanic hot spring, Li Shuwen and his group would have had to make a reservation in advance.

The owner doesn't lack customers at all.

Of course, the owner's service attitude was excellent, and he did not become arrogant just because business was good.

Upon entering the hot spring pool, Li Shuwen noticed that Mewtwo had finally relaxed its brow.

Li Shuwen walked over and sat down next to Mewtwo, reaching out to hold Mewtwo's arm.

Let me check it for you.

It didn't give Mewtwo a chance to refuse at all.

Mewtwo stubbornly spoke up, "Shuwen, my body is perfectly fine."

Li Shuwen's Aura power spread through Mewtwo's body.

Mewtwo is a Pokémon created by fusing various excellent Pokémon genes with Mew's genes as a base.

It's possible that the genes fused within its body come not only from Psychic-type Pokémon, but also from other Pokémon.

This caused Mewtwo's body to malfunction due to genetic conflicts.

Li Shuwen did not expect that in the Alola region, where natural energy is abundant, Mewtwo's body would develop problems prematurely.

Could it be that the rich energy nourished Mewtwo's body?

In doing the same thing, those flaws were nurtured, which in turn amplified the problems and caused them to surface prematurely.

Li Shuwen frowned. "Your problem doesn't seem serious, but that's only because you've forcibly suppressed it with your superpowers."

"As things continue to develop, your life force will continue to deplete. If you have a sufficient supply of life force to replenish it, you might be able to rely on powerful superpowers."

"Improving your physical condition little by little can not only lead to a full recovery, but may even lead to further improvement."

That is, Mega Evolution, becoming Mewtwo X or Mewtwo Y.

What form it takes is entirely up to Mewtwo's own choice.

Li Shuwen infused his Aura power into Mewtwo's body.

"You use your superpowers, and I'll help you regulate your body."

Li Dazhuang rubbed his shoulders. "Shuwen, you don't need to work so hard. You even have to train with Mewtwo while soaking in the hot springs?"

Li Shuwen didn't explain, focusing instead on channeling the power of the Aura into Mewtwo's body.

Mewtwo also knows that the power of Aura is linked to Li Shuwen's life force.

He cannot afford to waste it.

He focused intently on using his superpowers to modify his body.

Mewtwo reconciles conflicting genes; it eliminates conflicts in genes it deems useful and simply removes genes it deems useless.

When Li Shuwen's face turned somewhat pale, Mewtwo used its psychic powers to cut off the path through which Li Shuwen channeled the Aura.

Mewtwo pulled Li Shuwen's hand away, looked into Li Shuwen's eyes and said, "Shuwen, you've done more than enough for me."

Li Shuwen took a deep breath, "It's still because my cultivation of life force is insufficient. What I'm doing now is just a minor effort. To truly repair your body..."

"The vitality required is far beyond what we both imagined. Before we can repair the genetic conflict, you must endure the intense pain it brings."

Mewtwo wagged its tail. "The pain caused by genetic collapse is nothing more than a little hardship."

Li Shuwen patted Mewtwo on the shoulder, "I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually learn that line."

Mewtwo simply said, "You should use the life force contained in the hot spring to replenish what you just used up."

Li Shuwen walked out of the hot spring pool, took out a large bag of tree fruits from his backpack, and distributed them to Li Dazhuang, Shilan, and Chaomeng.

"Compared to hot springs, this helps me recover my strength much faster."

The true qi in the dantian circulates through the body once, quickly absorbing the energy contained in the eaten tree fruit.

Li Shuwen's complexion visibly reddened.

Mewtwo took a bite of the berry, and Li Shuwen leaned against the pool. "Delicious, right? Next time I'll try to infuse you with Aura power while you eat it."

Mewtwo shook its head immediately, "This is harming your body. Instead of this method, you should find an environment rich in life force."

Mewtwo's words awakened Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen clapped his hands, "That's right, how could we forget about her!"

Li Dazhuang and Shi Lan also looked over, "Who's there!"

Li Shuwen said excitedly, "Taputie! Taputie is skilled in healing, and as the island's guardian spirit, Taputie must know where we find the Fountain of Life!"

Mewtwo frowned slightly; he was the one among the group who had the most contact with Tapu Lele.

He had a basic understanding of Tapu Lele's personality and didn't think she would be willing to help treat his genetic disease.

After leaving the hot spring, Li Shuwen told everyone that Mewtwo's problem had been reduced tenfold.

Gadaria immediately waved her fist, "Mewtwo is my psychic teacher, I'll go help persuade Tapu Lele!"

Mewtwo said calmly, "Taputie only sees you as a fun toy. She already helped Shuwen last time, so she can't help treat my illness because of you."

Cynthia stroked her chin. "Where there's a will, there's a way. Let's go see Tapu Lele first. If we communicate with Tapu Lele more, we'll eventually find a way to get her help."

This is a doctor; it's best not to put a knife to a doctor's neck and let the doctor treat you.

Hapuu raised his hand. "Why don't we go ask the island's king?"

"King Carlo of the islands is a good friend of my grandfather; perhaps he has a solution?"

After having lunch at the hot spring inn, everyone headed to the town of Ohana, led by Hapuu.

At a farm, I met the king of Akala Island.

The old man was commanding a Charizard against a girl who commanded a Lycanroc during the day.

Li Shuwen recognized her at a glance as Liz, the future queen of Akala Island.

After the match ended, Hapu went up to greet him warmly.

"Grandpa Carlo!"

Upon seeing it was Haphu, Carlo immediately smiled. "Oh, it's Haphu! What can I do for you?"
