Yung 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 humans and Pokémon repeatedly.
==History==
==History==
Dr. Yung invented the [[Mirage Pokémon]] system. This appears to be a project he spent many years on, as {{an|Professor Oak}} acknowledges.

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 Oak's laboratory database. Revealing his insanity to the protagonists, he spoke of his contempt for the flaws inherent in every Pokémon 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.'

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.
