[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.]

[He tries again - the attack is smaller now and more controllable, but still too blunt, crushing the target rather than slicing.

It's still a variation on Psywave, and not its own attack.]

[Right.

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.]

[Mewtwo pauses where he is in midair, the glow fading from his hand, and stares at the pipe. Eventually the steam fades, and the clean slice is revealed.

A smile comes slowly over his face.]

[He lands and takes a few paces towards Silver, head tilted forward and tail sweeping from side to side in a quietly triumphant gesture.]

[...and bizarrely enough, Mewtwo reflexively goes for it, only hesitating halfway through the motion so that it ends up as an awkward cross between a high five and the beginning of a handshake.

Ah well. Close enough. Luceti, what wonders you work.]

[Yes we do.

So let's do this thing.]
