'''The Discovery''' (Japanese: '''ザ・ディスカバリー''' ''The Discovery'') is the eighth and final episode of [[Pokémon Evolutions]]. It was released on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s official English [[YouTube]] channel, [[Pokémon TV]], and [[The Pokémon Company]]'s official Japanese YouTube channel on December 23, 2021.

Arriving at [[Kanto Route 24|Nugget Bridge]], {{ga|Green}} looks over her [[Town Map]], with [[Cerulean Cave]] marked on it as the rumored location of the 150th Pokémon. Green looks at the [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] in her possession before using her binoculars to scout ahead. She spots {{ga|Trace}} arriving on his {{p|Pidgeot}} and entering the cave after reading a similar report, prompting her to chase after him, but she is quickly accosted by the five Trainers guarding Nugget Bridge with their Pokémon. Unfazed, Green sends out her {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}}, taking on all five opponents in a violent brawl offscreen, causing the lone Trainer on the other side to watch on in fear as he clutches the prize [[Nugget]]. In short order, Green defeats the Trainers and leaves them behind.

Upon entering the cave, Green is briefly beset by a {{p|Zubat}} swarm before catching up to Trace, both of them swearing to be the first to catch {{p|Mewtwo}} and heading deeper into the labyrinthine caverns, not realizing that Mewtwo is already watching their every move. Using her athleticism, Green avoids being cornered by a {{p|Graveler}} and uses her {{p|Blastoise}} to cross a lake, bypassing and defeating a wild pair of {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}, allowing her to reach Trace again. In their rush to get ahead, Trace narrowly stops himself from plummeting down a deep crevice, sending out Pidgeot again to fly him over; Green responds by using her {{p|Victreebel}} to latch onto a stalactite and swing herself over as Trace and Pidgeot watch on in surprise. Their surprise is short-lived as another swarm of Zubat and {{p|Golbat}} attack them, prompting Green to order a {{m|Razor Leaf}} to chase the swarm away. Landing on the other side, Trace tends to his Pidgeot's injuries before thanking Green for the save, but also warning her that they're not the only ones pursuing Mewtwo.

Arriving at the center of the caves, Green spots a shadowed figure; thinking that it must be Mewtwo, she flings a [[Poké Ball]] at it only to find that the figure is actually {{ga|Elaine}}, who has already captured Mewtwo. Frustrated that her quarry has eluded her, Green challenges Elaine to a battle, sending out her {{p|Clefable}} as Elaine's {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Zippy Zap}} to take Clefable out in one hit. In a jump cut, Elaine faces Green's Ninetales with her {{p|Rapidash}}, but Ninetales's flames eventually overwhelm it and it falls in defeat. Yelling at Elaine to show her what she came for, Green sends out Blastoise and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] it, and Elaine responds in kind. As Mewtwo rises into the air, Mega Blastoise barrages it with a series of {{m|Hydro Pump}} volleys, only to find that Mewtwo has used {{m|Barrier}} to shield itself. Using its fearsome {{m|Psychic}} powers, Mewtwo raises Blastoise into the air and hurls it back into a rock, causing Mega Blastoise to revert; another attack defeats Blastoise before Green can reach it. Disappointed, Green recalls Blastoise and acknowledges her loss, offering Elaine the [[Mega Stone]]s for Mewtwo. To Elaine, Pikachu, and Mewtwo's shock, Green teases them by asking Elaine and Mewtwo to become her Pokémon instead before leaving the scene.

At [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]], Green reports on her failure to catch Mewtwo and thus complete the [[Pokédex]], but [[Professor Oak]] assures her that she has caught many Pokémon in her quest, and forged strong bonds with her Pokémon in the process. He adds that Green wasn't taking on the initiative alone, pointing out Trace and Elaine standing at the doorway behind them. As Green realizes that her rivals were her allies all along, Oak thanks the Trainers for completing the Pokédex before receiving a call on his cell phone. Speaking to the [[Professor Willow|unseen caller]], Professor Oak learns of a brand new Pokémon {{p|Meltan|entirely made out of metal}}. Delighted, Oak announces to the Trainers that the Pokédex isn't yet complete, but the three Trainers have already left.

Outside, Elaine's Pikachu finds a [[Small Bouquet|couple of flowers]] and offers them to Green, causing her to smile before all three friends walk towards a bright horizon.
