Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture it with a {{Ball|Master}}. Re returned it to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}}, whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own. The legendary Pokémon only returned in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Once it could communicate telepathically, Mewtwo joined up with Red in an attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni. With Red's help, Mewtwo managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed it. It has a Quiet [[nature]].
