Doctor Yung
ドクター・ユング, Mirage Master
Dr. Yung invented the Mirage Pokeacutemon system. This appears to be a project he spent many years on as Professor Oak acknowledges. Yung is shown to have a combination of great intellect and battling skill but still has a sort of mysterious air about himself. He challenges Ash and his friends to battle with him using a Mirage Aggron his system has generated. Misty eagerly accepts his challenge and uses her Staryu but she lost easily when the Aggron showed off one of Yung039s system039s features the ability to use any attack in this case Bullet Seed. Ash challenged him next with Pikachu but before the battle could begin the Mirage Master Japanese: Mr. Mirage captured both Yung and 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 Oak039s laboratory database. He spoke of his contempt for the flaws inherent in every Pokeacutemon and of his desire to create a Pokeacutemon free of these flaws. He is especially enraged when a Mirage Mew appears which he declared a 039flawed specimen.039 Oak initially resisted the torture and refused to give the password. As a backup plan Mirage Master used some of his Mirage Pokeacutemon 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 Oak039s resolve and he surrendered the password quotREDGREEN.quot Using a combination of his new access to Oak039s laboratory039s database and his ability to hack the servers of Pokeacutemon Centers worldwide Mirage Master began forming his perfect Pokeacutemon. When Ash and later Misty and May arrived to confront him Mirage Master completed the experiment creating a Mirage Mewtwo. He demonstrated its power by instantly defeating all of the other Mirage Pokeacutemon then he attempted to kill Oak who had to defend himself with a 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 Pokeacutemon to move around in allowing him to unleash his Mirage Mewtwo on the world. To aid in this endeavor he also summoned a Mirage Entei Mirage Articuno and Mirage Zapdos. Later after the Mirage Master declared his Mirage Mewtwo to be the result of quotmany years of hard workquot Professor Oak successfully unmasked him to actually be Dr. Yung. It was revealed that Yung had been a student at the Pokeacutemon Institute when he invented the Mirage System but he was expelled because his research was considered cruel thus making him bitter and desiring revenge. He battled against the group using Mewtwo and easily took the upper hand but with some timely help from the Mirage Mew that Yung had declared a quotflawed specimenquot Ash039s Pikachu was able to defeat it using 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. It can be assumed that he is still at large as Officer Jenny was unable to recover his body from the castle.
