{{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, its heart having been softened by the selfless example of [[Ash Ketchum]] back in the eastern [[Kanto]] region, has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a place unreachable to the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of the band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned with. Mewtwo eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named [[Mount Quena]], surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its crater is a freshwater lake and a forest that is home to many {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so they settle in the top of Mount Quena and begin a new, safe life. Mewtwo, feeling that clones do not belong in the outside world because they were not born in it, watches over as their guardian. Mewtwo seems particularly close to the [[Pikachutwo|Pikachu]] and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of its private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in its change of heart. | {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, its heart having been softened by the selfless example of [[Ash Ketchum]] back in the eastern [[Kanto]] [[region]], has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a place unreachable to the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of the band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned with.

{{an|Giovanni}}, however, is determined to possess Mewtwo once again, and has been planning a militaristic assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in its new mountain retreat, so the Team Rocket Combat Unit heads toward Mount Quena. | {{an|Giovanni}}, however, is determined to possess Mewtwo once again, and has been planning a militaristic assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself.

Similarly, the dub implies that the clones were victims of discrimination, while the Japanese version states that they chose to avoid the outside world. | * Mewtwo's opening lines are mostly different in the dub.
