Eighteen years since the last contact with the Mew Search Team headed by the female {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, [[Miyamoto]], a fossilised Mew eyebrow is found at an excavation site. Giovanni brings this fossil to [[Dr. Fuji]], a scientist who is studing Pokémon DNA on [[New Island]], and suggests that he try creating a copy of Mew.
