Leading his expedition team of {{tc|Scientist}}s through a dense jungle, [[Dr. Fuji]] is looking for the thought to be extinct [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. The team locate an ancient ruin featuring carving of Mew. A sudden shadow passes, none other than {{OBP|Mew|M01}}, but it quickly disappears as the Scientists turn around. Later, the group have managed to excavate a [[Fossil]], which they believe belong to Mew. Dr. Fuji concludes the expedition, suggesting they return to the laboratory to conduct further analysis. Mew peeks into the tent out of curiosity before soaring off into the distance. | Leading his expedition team of {{tc|Scientist}}s through a dense jungle, [[Dr. Fuji]] is looking for the thought to be extinct [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}.

The [[Artificial Pokémon|newly created]] {{OBP|Mewtwo| | The [[Artificial Pokémon|newly created]] {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} is still developing its consciousness. In its daze, it dreams of Mew guiding it through a crystal clear river and soaring off towards a mountain. Mewtwo finds itself in unfamiliar surrounds, but is certain that the scenery is important. It soon awakens to find itself trapped, and uses its {{t|Psychic}} powers to free itself of its glass capsule. Dr. Fuji and his team rush over to welcome their creation, dubbed "Mewtwo", to the {{pkmn|world}}. The scientists are impressed by Mewtwo's already promising abilities including telepathy. Dr. Fuji explains to Mewtwo that is was created from the world's most rare Pokémon, Mew, but it is far stronger than its progenitor. Mewtwo is in disbelief that it was created by humans and grows angry at seeing their selfishness. Mewtwo reflects on its dream and wonders about its true identity. In retaliation Mewtwo overwhelms the scientists and their restrictive technology with its Psychic powers. Soon flames consume the [[New Island]] laboratory before Mewtwo finally unleashes a series of explosions to destroy it entirely. | ||
Commissioner of the entire scientific operation, [[Team Rocket]] Boss {{an|Giovanni}} flies to New Island. After witnessing the carnage afar, he approaches and convinces Mewtwo to work with him to hone its powers. Giovanni places Mewtwo into a suit of armor, to help Mewtwo harness its power. In a series of tasks, Mewtwo's powers are put to the test. It assists Giovanni and Team Rocket in capturing rare Pokémon like {{p|Tauros}}, as well as being pitted against challengers at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Mewtwo continues to questions it purpose and reason for living. Finally Giovanni offers Mewtwo its long awaited answers; it is a Pokémon which is supposed to serve him. After Mewtwo learns of its purpose to be a weapon for Giovanni's benefit, it destroys its suppressive armor. It escapes Team Rocket HQ and heads back to New Island where it plots its revenge against humanity. | Commissioner of the entire scientific operation, [[Team Rocket]] Boss {{an|Giovanni}} flies to New Island.

After Mewtwo rebuilds the laboratory and establishes a base there, it invites several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with hologram messages to battle the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer at New Island. Watching from his spy, a {{p|Fearow}} armed with a camera, {{Ash}}'s {{pkmn|battle}} performance against [[Raymond]] also intrigues Mewtwo. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's {{p|Donphan}} with a {{m|Solar Beam}}, while {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble Beam}} overwhelms a {{p|Machamp}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} is then pitted against three opponents all at once, but emerges victorious with a devastating {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Also spying, {{TRT}} plot their next attempt to capture Pikachu. Following the match, Ash sits down with {{ashfr}} to each enjoy a lunch prepared by {{an|Brock}}. Following Mewtwo's orders, its {{p|Dragonite}} delivers a hologram message to Ash. Brock is instantly enchanted with the hologram woman, while Ash is more excited about a chance to face the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. After checking the invite box, Dragonite prepares to fly. However, Team Rocket have other ideas, and stop it from leaving with their frying pan. An invite slips from Dragonite's satchel, intriguing the trio. | After Mewtwo rebuilds the laboratory and establishes a base there, it invites several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with hologram messages to battle the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer at New Island.

In preparation for the main event, Mewtwo creates a powerful thunderstorm and whips up the seas. The massive disturbance also captures Mew's attention, who soon leaves for New Island. Ash and his friends soon arrive at [[Old Shore Wharf]], the departure point to reach new Island. Inside the departures lounge many other Trainers and their equally anxious Pokémon are waiting to leave. However the storm means no ships can disembark the port. [[Officer Jenny]] and harbor manager {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} try to maintain the peace and remind the Trainers of the stormy conditions. Miranda reiterates that she has never seen such a storm. However [[Fergus]] steps up and decides he'll just use his Pokémon to reach New Island. Jenny and Miranda protest, revealing the onsite [[Pokémon Center]] is currently unattended, so no Pokémon can be treated for their injuries. Jenny reveals that the [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for a week, and brings everyone's attention to the missing poster. Brock inspects the poster closely and is startled by the seemingly familiar Nurse Joy. Despite the warning, several Trainers leave for New Island using their Pokémon. Miranda admits that stopping any Pokémon Trainer is futile, as they are courageous adventurer by nature. | In preparation for the main event, Mewtwo creates a powerful thunderstorm and whips up the seas.

Ash is equally determined to reach New Island, though Misty reminds him that they're Pokémon aren't strong enough to make the crossing. Luckily, Team Rocket, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as sailors]], offer the group a ride in their {{p|Lapras}}-shaped boat. After pedalling through the giant waves, Meowth activates the vessel's motor, which speeds up the voyage. However, the boat goes directly into a wave, dragging everyone underwater. Team Rocket's disguises are also washed off by the current, cuasing panic for the group. As another wave throws the boat high into the air, everyone is thrown out to sea. Misty calls out her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to help her and Brock through the waves, while Ash has Squirtle. The Water types cruise through the water with ease, dodging oncoming rocks before finally arriving at their destination, New Island. | Ash is equally determined to reach New Island, though Misty reminds him that they're Pokémon aren't strong enough to make the crossing.

At the pier, the female attendant greets the group. At her request, Ash shows the attendant his personal invite for verification. Brock instantly recognized the attendant as the missing Nurse Joy from Old Shore Wharf, Misty admits she can see the resemblance, while Ash cannot see it. The attendant replies that she has been at the castle for a long time, dismissing the comment. As the attendant leads the group to their venue, Team Rocket also arrive thanks to [[James's Weezing]] and Mew as well. | At the pier, the female attendant greets the group.

The lights suddenly dim and Mewtwo makes a grand entrance, floating down the castle's double-helix staircase to greet its guests. The attendant reveals that this is the world's greatest Trainer and Pokémon, Mewtwo. Fergus is outraged and declares that a Pokémon cannot be a Trainer. Using telepathy, Mewtwo has its attendant speak for it. Fergus protests, so Mewtwo uses its Psychic powers to toss him into the pool. Undeterred, Fergus orders his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Mewtwo deflects the attack back at Gyarados, knocking it back into the pool. Mewtwo also releases his attendant from its Psychic manipulation, which also confirms Brock's suspicions that she is the missing Nurse Joy. Mewtwo explains that he required Nurse Joy for her specialized Pokémon knowledge, and she will have no memory of the events. | The lights suddenly dim and Mewtwo makes a grand entrance, floating down the castle's double-helix staircase to greet its guests.

Meanwhile Team Rocket have wandered into Mewtwo's hidden cloning laboratory. They spot clones of {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}}, but are still unaware of their strange surrounds. Jessie accidentally leans on one of the control panels, which activates a video file that details the clone project that led to Mewtwo's creation.

Jessie accidentally leans on one of the control panels, which activates a video file that details the clone project that led to Mewtwo's creation. Some mechanical claws suddenly pick Meowth up, throwing him onto a conveyor belt. James rushes over and grabs Meowth while the machine plucks several tail hairs. While Meowth nurses his injured tail, a digital display appears as Meowth is cloned. The clone is beamed down the expandable tubing and left to mature. Team Rocket return their attention to the screen, learning that Mewtwo is the clone of Mew. The trio come to the conclusion that they have discovered a clone laboratory, but find it odd that it is unattended. | ||
Back in the foyer, Mewtwo explains that the world and Pokémon are ruled by humans, which is problematic because people are inherently controlling. Pikachu leaps off Ash's shoulder to rebute such comments, and he explains that humans and Pokémon form [[friendship]]s. Mewtwo is disgusted by such feelings and telepathically tosses Pikachu aside, only for Ash to break his fall. Corey steps up, calling for his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to attack. Mewtwo defends itself by sending Rhyhorn flying across the banquet table. Mewtwo claims to be the strongest Pokémon, and Ash suggests it prove itself. Mewtwo gladly accepts, activating its waiting clones, Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard. In the laboratory, Team Rocket watch in shock and are even more surprised when Mew follows the clones out as well. | Back in the foyer, Mewtwo explains that the world and Pokémon are ruled by humans, which is problematic because people are inherently controlling.

The lights dim yet again before revealing Mewtwo's personal battle stadium. Corey, Neesha and Ash take up Mewtwo's challenge, calling on their own Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard to face the clones. [[Ash's Charizard]] yawns as it emerges from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, attacking Mewtwo with an impromptu {{m|Flamethrower}}. Mewtwo blocks the attack and informs Ash that Charizard is particularly ill-mannered. Everyone makes their way over to the stadium, though Mewtwo's clone trio emerge victorious over their respective opponents. Mewtwo proceeds to catch Bruteroot, Shellshocker and Ash's Charizard in its own special Mewtwo Balls. Misty wonders what Mewtwo's intentions of "stealing" other people's Pokémon could be, and Mewtwo insists it plans to create an army of superior copies. Ash orders Mewtwo to stop, though Mewtwo reiterates that it makes the rules and pushes Ash away with its Psychic powers. Mewtwo summons more Balls, sending everyone into a panic as they try to save their Pokémon from being caught. Fergus's Pokémon are all captured with ease, follows by most of Corey's and Neesha's teams. Corey's Pidgeot tries to out-speed the Balls, but is also caught. Ash [[recall]]s Bulbasaur and Squirtle to their Poké Balls, but this also proves useless as they are taken as well. Misty's Togepi goes undetected as it shelters in Misty's knit [[bag]], while Psyduck is caught. Brock and Nurse Joy reach the doors, though Vulpix is soon taken. Pikachu remains the last standing, but he is also captured while trying to escape up the spiral staircase. Ash leaps for Pikachu, and grips onto the Ball, but it manages to get away. Ash, however, does slide down one of the hidden entrances as it carried off with the Mewtwo Balls into the cloning laboratory. There, Team Rocket watch as more Pokémon are cloned.

Also on the conveyor belt, Ash, who explains that he has no time to deal with them rushes into the machine to save Pikachu, though he is still cloned like the other Pokémon. Ash wrestles with the machine's mechanical arms, causing it to spark as he manages to rescue Pikachu. Pikachu emerges from the Ball unscathed and happily leaps into Ash's embrace. Soon the newly cloned Pokémon emerge from their chambers and proceed towards the stadium. The cloning machine suddenly explodes, releasing all of the captured original Pokémon from the Mewtwo Balls. Ash is reunited with Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charizard as well. | ||
Mewtwo assures the humans it has no intention of harming them. It even offers them the chance to leave, however with the storm still raging, no one considers it an option. An explosion occurs, and the cloned Pokémon proceed to join Mewtwo's side. Ash, leading the originals, follows closely behind much to the relief of the others. Ash declares that he will protect his Pokémon and proceeds to charge ahead. Mewtwo protects itself from the blows before tossing Ash into the distance. However a pink bubble protects Ash from crashing into one of the spires, and Mew reveals itself to everyone. Mewtwo instantly recognizes Mew. However Mew is too busy playing around with Ash, though Mewtwo bursts its bubble to get its attention. Mewtwo declares that it is the mightiest Pokémon, in spite of being created from Mew. Mewtwo proceeds to attack, sending Mew to flee. After a pursuit and Mewtwo finally striking Mew, the Mythical Pokémon retaliates with an attack. | Mewtwo assures the humans it has no intention of harming them.

Mewtwo is determined to settle who is better, its superior copies or the originals. Meowth translates the interaction between Mew and Mewtwo for his teammates, with Mew siding with the originals. Mewtwo suggests they determine who is stronger with a battle of pure strengths, and promptly blocks both sides' attacks and abilities. While Mew and Mewtwo exchange blows, the Pokémon find their respective clone and a brutal battle unfolds leaving both sides battered and exhausted. Meowth's clone, meanwhile, is able to be convinced not to fight by Meowth himself. The two Meowth realize they have a lot more in common aside from their differences. Ash's Pikachu is determined not to fight his clone, but the other Pikachu is unconvinced despite the toll. Nurse Joy and the Trainers are all shocked by the unrelenting brutality, so Ash steps up to confront Mewtwo and put an end to it. | Mewtwo is determined to settle who is better, its superior copies or the originals.

Mew and Mewtwo prepare to exchange devastating blows, Ash rushes between them to intervene. The attacks hit, and consequently turn Ash to stone. Mewtwo is taken aback that a human would try to stop the battle. As Ash lie motionless, Pikachu rushes over to check on his Trainer, but he is unresponsive. Pikachu tries one Thunderbolt after another, but his attempts are all in vain. Pikachu begins to tear up and cry aloud, fearing his Trainer is now gone. The other Pokémon are also drawn to tears by this, and the cumulative effect brings Ash back to life. | Mew and Mewtwo prepare to exchange devastating blows, Ash rushes between them to intervene.

Mewtwo also comes to a new conclusion, that it also has a place in the world, just like Mew. Mewtwo decides that it is best that no one know of the events that unfolded. Mewtwo, together with Mew, promptly carries off the clone Pokémon to a place where they can live in peace and belong. It also wipes everyone else's memories and returns them to Old Shore Wharf. | Mewtwo also comes to a new conclusion, that it also has a place in the world, just like Mew.
