Dr. Yung: Difference between revisions

Dr. Yung challenged {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to battle with him using a {{pkmn2|Mirage}} {{p|Aggron}} his system had generated. {{an|Misty}} eagerly accepted his challenge and used her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, but she lost easily when the Aggron showed off one of Yung's system's features - the ability to use any [[move|attack]], in this case {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Ash challenged him next with {{AP|Pikachu}}, but before the battle could begin, the '''Mirage Master''' (Japanese: '''ミスター・ミラージュ''' ''Mr. Mirage'') captured both Dr. Yung and {{an|Professor Oak}} by commandeering the system.

While Ash and his friends attempted to mount a rescue mission, Mirage Master tortured Oak with the intent of gaining the access password to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] database. Revealing his insanity, he spoke of his contempt for the flaws inherent in every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and of his desire to create a Pokémon free of these flaws. He is especially enraged when a Mirage {{p|Mew}} appears, which he declared a 'flawed specimen.'

Oak initially resisted the torture and refused to give the password. As a backup plan, Mirage Master used some of his Mirage Pokémon to capture Pikachu after ambushing it. He then strapped it to a table and used a special machine to scan its memories for data, causing it great pain. This finally broke Oak's resolve, and he surrendered the password, "{{game|Red and Green|s|REDGREEN}}." Using a combination of his new access to Oak's laboratory's database and his ability to hack the servers of [[Pokémon Center]]s worldwide, Mirage Master began forming his perfect Pokémon.

When Ash, and later Misty and {{an|May}} arrived to confront him, Mirage Master completed the experiment, creating a Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}}. He demonstrated its power by instantly defeating all of the other Mirage Pokémon, then he attempted to kill Oak, who had to defend himself with a {{p|Dragonite}}. Oak urged the group to escape, becoming resigned to the fact that they could not save Yung, but Mirage Master had another trick up his sleeve - he deployed missiles to create a much larger field for the Mirage Pokémon to move around in, allowing him to unleash his Mirage Mewtwo on the world. To aid in this endeavor he also summoned a Mirage {{p|Entei}}, Mirage {{p|Articuno}} and Mirage {{p|Zapdos}}.

Later, after the Mirage Master declared his Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}} to be the result of "many years of hard work", {{an|Professor Oak}} successfully unmasked him to actually ''be'' Dr. Yung. It was revealed that Yung had been a student at the Pokémon Institute when he invented the Mirage System, but he was expelled because his research was considered cruel, thus leaving him bitter and hungry for revenge. He battled against the group using Mewtwo and easily took the upper hand, but with some timely help from the Mirage {{p|Mew}} that Yung had declared a "flawed specimen", [[Ash's Pikachu]] was able to defeat it using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

After being defeated, he escaped into his burning lab. Oak tried to pursue him, but falling iron blocked the entrance, and Yung was never seen again.

Dr. Yung invented the [[Mirage Pokémon]] system. This appears to be a project he spent many years on, as {{an|Professor Oak}} acknowledges. He is shown to have a combination of great intellect and battling skill, but still has a sort of mysterious air about himself. However, it is later shown that Yung is corrupt and a sociopath. He is generally incapable of feeling genuine emotion and is shown to be megalomaniacal, power-hungry, delusional, embittered, cruel, heartless, and cynical.

In his true persona, he is one of the few characters in the entire series to be depicted as purely and irredeemably evil. He has little concern for life, whether natural or artificial, and is seen to think nothing of casually attempting to kill both [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} repeatedly.

|desc={{p|Mewtwo}} is a Mirage Pokémon who was created as a result of data being extracted by many computers worldwide to Dr. Yung's castle. Ash his friends try to stop him with Ash using Pikachu, Oak using {{p|Dragonite}}, Misty using {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and May using her {{TP|May|Combusken}} in the process. However, Mewtwo defeats the latter three leaving Ash and Pikachu to take care of it and Dr. Yung on their own. With the Mirage Mew's help of holding back Mewtwo, Pikachu was able to defeat the Mirage Mewtwo (and Mew as well), thus destroying the systems.

|desc=The Mirage {{p|Aggron}} was the first mirage Pokémon shown. To test out the system, it battled against [[Misty's Staryu]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] where it was able to defeat the former. As it was about to battle Pikachu, Aggron starts to dissolve.

Aggron's known moves are {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Sandstorm}} and {{m|Bullet Seed}}{{tt|*|Normal Aggron cannot legitimately learn}}.}}

|desc=The Mirage {{p|Armaldo}} was first shown as a demonstration to Ash and his friends. It was then seen chasing after them upon Mirage Master's arrival. It managed to attack Max. After the kids were chased out, Armaldo, Kabutops, and Omastar stood guard of the laboratory

|desc=The Mirage Master summoned a mirage {{p|Entei}} to aid in the endeavor in unleashing his Mirage Mewtwo on the world. It took on [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Misty's Gyarados]], [[May's Combusken]] and {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{p|Dragonite}}. Afterwards, it fused with the Mewtwo so Mewtwo can be unstoppable.

|desc=The Mirage Master summoned a mirage {{p|Zapdos}} to aid in the endeavor in unleashing his Mirage Mewtwo. It took on [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Misty's Gyarados]], [[May's Combusken]] and {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{p|Dragonite}}. Later, Zapdos fuses with Mewtwo to make Mewtwo unstoppable.

|desc=The Mirage Master summoned a mirage {{p|Articuno}} to aid in the endeavor in unleashing his Mirage Mewtwo. It took on [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Misty's Gyarados]], [[May's Combusken]] and {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{p|Dragonite}}. Later, Articuno fuses with Mewtwo to make Mewtwo unstoppable.

|desc=The Mirage {{p|Mew}}, unlike most of the Mirage Master's Pokémon, chose not to do evil deeds. The Mirage Master classifies it as a flawed specimen due to the fact that it exhibits a soul instead of mindlessly following commands in its programming. It followed Ash and his friends throughout the castle and protected them from Mewtwo's attacks. It, like other Mirage Pokémon, got destroyed after Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} defeated Mewtwo and destroyed the system.
