[Action] I feel like this title needs a balls joke
[What's a productive use of time? Time exploring the woods and training.
Today involves the latter. ...No, really. There's perfectly valid "training" logic behind Silver running around the entire village with Sneasel and an oversized ball gun, a birthday present from some stupid flirt that needs some shounen spirit.
And the entire village is no exaggeration. He'll be zipping through lawns, tree jumping, sliding across any remaining snow and ice as if he was raised with it, pulling off ridiculous ninja bullshit stunts, the works. He'll even head into the woods at some point.
And, of course, there are those balls that keep coming out of it. Of course... They're not just balls. They're Pokéballs, which might clue people in on why Silver's doing the equivalent of playing with a new toy. They're empty Pokéballs for a good portion of the day... And they're liable to hit anyone and anything. You know, if Silver hasn't already quickly turned a corner and collided with you or narrowly avoided a collision due to good reflexes.
Of course, later on, it will also have a bird in it, so if your life long dream is to have a two foot tall bird come out of a ball and accidentally collide with you or tackle you over, now's your chance.
This is totally valid and legitimate training, guys. Really.]

If attention isn't drawn to the enthusiasm and smiling, it might stay there for longer.]

Any suggestions...?]

This is exactly why he takes out Feraligatr instead, the least suited of his three for tight corners and taking care to not wreck everything. It's training. His Pokémon need to accommodate to situations they're not used to and be ready to handle anything.
And it clearly pays off, since Feraligatr manages to move in a surprisingly quiet and stealthy manner despite the fact that he's a giant god damn alligator.

Hmm.]
I need a new attack.
no subject
What moves do you know?
no subject
[The tornado and spoon, and every other offensive attack Silver's seen Mewtwo use.]
no subject
...Have you ever tried using that psychic energy to hit someone without the spoon? Kinda like a psychic Slash. [He gestures with his hand to show a slashing motion while he speaks, and Feraligatr copies Silver with an actual Slash at the air.]
no subject
It'd be quieter, more precise...
Mewtwo vanishes the spoon and floats up to stand on the corner of a low roof. He closes his eyes for a moment, opens them again, and focuses....
The attack slashes wildly down the side of a building and into the street, obliterating a Rocket but leaving a three-foot-deep gash in the cement and shattering three windows.
Too much power, too wide, too blunt.]
no subject
...Don't worry about how powerful it is for now. Try making it smaller and swifter. [Again with the hand gestures. Sneasel can help demonstrate as well; his claws cut a rocket grunt down in one smooth, quiet strike.]
no subject
It's still a variation on Psywave, and not its own attack.]

Fast-forward a good few attempts, some shifts in strategy, some breaks to think about the execution of such a move.
On this last try, Mewtwo changes tack - rather than trying to sharpen the blow itself, he moves back with the bulk of the psychic energy, letting the leftover wave of motion off the generated force do the attacking for him.
And this time, it works - it slashes through a pipe along the side of a building with a sharp ting!, and steam hisses out.]
