Mount Quena: Difference between revisions

==History==

===Mewtwo Returns===

In ''Mewtwo Returns'', Pokémon researchers [[Luna Carson]] and [[Cullen Calix]] individually came to the mountain to conduct research on the resident Pokémon in their habitat, and the [[lake]] itself, respectively. In the special, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} and the [[Cloning|Pokémon clones]] were said to have come there after the events of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==Places of interest==

===Clarity Lake===

'''Clarity Lake''' (Japanese: '''クリア{{tt|湖|こ}}''' ''Clear Lake'') was originally located in the center of the forest atop Mount Quena, but was moved to inside the mountain by Mewtwo after it defeated Team Rocket. It is the source of Purity River.

Due to the extreme weather and steep mountain face required to overcome in order to access the lake, it is left pure and undisturbed by humans. This purity makes the lakewater especially pure, giving it healing properties. Because of its properties as well as it being a breeding ground, the Bug-type Pokémon view it as sacred, and will attack anyone who threatens its stability. The local Pokémon drink from the water regularly, making them healthy despite the lack of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s.

====History====

When Mewtwo was injured due to Team Rocket's machine, Ash threw it into the lake in order to revive it. Once Mewtwo was restored, it destroyed Team Rocket's aircraft, then moved the lake to inside of the mountain to keep it secret, taking the clone Pokémon, Ash and his friends inside the mountain with it. Mewtwo swore Ash and his friends to secrecy so that the lake would remain undisturbed, but allowed them to keep their memories.

===Purity Canyon===

'''Purity Canyon''' (Japanese: '''ピュアズロック''' ''Pures Rock'') is known for its harsh weather, which tourists are specifically warned about in the local guide book. In the original Japanese version, it is said to have tornado-like winds reaching up to 40 km per hour. In the English dub, it advises tourists to avoid the area due to frequent blizzards, thunderstorms, and typhoons.

Due to the extreme weather, crossing the canyon is almost impossible on foot. Instead, a bus passes through once per week (once per month in the English dub) to allow tourists to travel through the area. Opposite the bus stop is a lodge, which the English dub says is for tourists who missed the bus and have to wait for the next one. Luna Carson also lives there while conducting her research on the native Pokémon in their habitat.

===Purity River===

'''Purity River''' (Japanese: '''ピュア{{tt|川|がわ}}''' ''Pure River'') runs through Purity Canyon, with its water flowing from Clarity Lake atop Mount Quena.

Due to its pure water, left undisturbed by humans for many generations, many Bug-type Pokémon are attracted to the river. {{p|Ledian}} were seen to light up a tree positioned adjacent to the river. It is also a popular place for {{p|Kakuna}} to hang, meaning that a number of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Beedrill}} are also present.
