At the [[Pokémon Comprehensive Laboratory|PCL]], a remote laboratory in the mountains, {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}} awakens within a tank. Sensing the presence of [[Harry Goodman|a man]] somewhere outside, Mewtwo bursts free as the tank's containment protocols fail. The man flees the lab and drives away with Mewtwo in pursuit of his car, until an explosion apparently caused by Mewtwo throws the vehicle off a bridge. | At the [[Pokémon Comprehensive Laboratory|PCL]], a remote laboratory in the mountains, {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}} awakens within a tank.

Jack brings Tim to a field in search of wild Pokémon despite Tim's protestations that he does not need a Pokémon partner. Tim, who gave up being a {{pkmn|Trainer}} after the death of his mother and alienation from his father, eventually gives in and attempts to capture a wild {{p|Cubone}}. His attempt fails and the Cubone chases Tim and Jack away. Back in Leaventown, Tim receives a phone call informing him that his father Harry has died as a result of the car crash. | ||
Tim travels to [[Ryme City]] to place Harry's affairs in order. En route aboard a train, he and the other passengers are shown a public service video explaining the city's history: billionaire tycoon [[Howard Clifford]], who developed a degenerative disease, became fascinated with Pokémon as he traveled the world in search of a cure for his condition. Howard eventually became convinced that if humanity could live as one side-by-side with Pokémon, they too could [[Evolution|evolve]] into the best versions of themselves, much as Pokémon do. To fulfill his vision, Howard used his fortune to found Ryme City as a utopia where Pokémon live with humans free of [[Poké Ball]]s, with [[Pokémon battle|battles]] outlawed. Upon arrival in Ryme City, Tim heads for a police station and notices a {{p|Psyduck}} watching him. He meets with [[Lieutenant Hide Yoshida]], an old colleague of Harry's, who consoles him over his father's death. Yoshida urges Tim to find a partner like his {{p|Snubbull}} so he no longer has to be alone, but Tim is unreceptive to this advice. | Tim travels to [[Ryme City]] to place Harry's affairs in order.
