Howard next appeared when his assistant, Ms. Norman, brought Tim and Detective Pikachu to his office following their involvement in an incident at the underground [[Pokémon battle|battle]] ring the Roundhouse. He explained his philosophy on evolution to them by evolving his {{p|Eevee}} into a {{p|Flareon}}, then revealed that he already knew about Tim, Pikachu and their research into the [[R]] gas. When they questioned how he knew these things, he revealed a holographic recording of Harry's accident that confirmed his survival but implicated Mewtwo as the culprit. Furthermore, Howard claimed that Harry was working for him on an investigation into R's source, which he claimed to have been masterminded by Roger. Howard told Tim and Detective Pikachu to find Mewtwo if they wanted to find Harry, but warned them to beware of Roger, who was supposedly in control of the city's police and news media.

After Roger recaptured Mewtwo, Tim raced back to Ryme City with [[Lucy Stevens]] to warn Howard of his son's actions, only to discover Howard wearing the neural link headband developed by Laurent. Realizing too late that Howard was the mastermind of the conspiracy, Tim was powerless to stop Howard from merging his mind into Mewtwo's body. Now empowered with all of Mewtwo's abilities, Howard revealed the truth about his plan: in order to 'cure' all of humanity of their natural flaws, he had Laurent develop the neural link and R so he could use Mewtwo's psychic powers to merge humans into the bodies of their R-afflicted Pokémon. Howard left Tim to be dealt with by Ms. Norman, who had been disguised as Roger when Mewtwo was captured, and set out to expose all of Ryme City to the R contained in the parade balloons. As he carried out his plan, Detective Pikachu appeared and engaged him in battle across the city. He was temporarily stunned by Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but recovered and captured Pikachu, admonishing Tim's parter for believing he could defeat Mewtwo in battle. Detective Pikachu countered that he wasn't trying to defeat Howard but merely stall him, causing Howard to notice Tim about to remove the neural link from his human body. He was unable to prevent Tim breaking the link, forcibly separating him from Mewtwo. His plan for humanity's evolution was subsequently rendered a failure when Mewtwo reversed the fusions he had carried out.
