On the island is a sign with old, fading writing dated either September, October, November, or December 6. It seems to be a reference to Mr. Fuji and the creation of Mewtwo. It also ends in a signature of which only remains ジ which, for unknown reasons, was not included in the international releases of Emerald. If this is true, this means that Fuji, for whatever reason, returned to Faraway Island after the Mewtwo project. This island could also possibly be the South American area referenced in the Pokémon Mansion journals, which was described as a jungle in Guyana.

Pokémon Adventures
Faraway Island first appeared in Mirage is Far Away, in which Mr. Briney reported to Kimberly that he managed to find the island without the Old Sea Map. He told her Mew was there but it was alarmed by his presence and flew away from the island.
The place later appeared in The Final Showdown VIII, when all the rental Pokémon at Battle Frontier were calmed by Emerald using pellets with soil from the Pokémon's birthplace. Gold explained he was able to affect many different Pokémon using the same soil because it was taken from the home of Mew, who is said to possess the genes of all Pokémon.
