{{an|Dr. Fuji}} speaks of being sent on an expedition that was funded by {{an|Giovanni}}. The journal entry, dated the 6th of August, states that the purpose of the journey was to look for {{p|Mew}}, supposedly the strongest Pokémon known to mankind. The reasons for the expedition are for Fuji to obtain a sample of Mew DNA, which he could use in an attempt to clone the creature, a project which Giovanni will fund. However, Fuji's true motives for agreeing to the project are more personal, as he wishes to use the research to recreate his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}. The team managed to acquire what they believe to be a Mew fossil, which Fuji hopes is authentic, as he would have the genetic material he requires to create Giovanni's super-Pokémon. The scientific team begins work on the cloning process, and after a period of time, {{OBP|Mewtwo| | {{an|Dr. Fuji}} speaks of being sent on an expedition that was funded by {{an|Giovanni}}.

The scientists observe the immature Mewtwo floating in its tank and lament that despite its strong vital signs, it has not gained consciousness, much like the other clones. However, Mewtwo can hear their voices, though he does not understand what they are saying. Through the usage of telepathy, the clone of Amber, Ambertwo, tells Mewtwo that they are speaking. Mewtwo is startled and wonders what Ambertwo is and she replies that she is "a girl, a person." She tells Mewtwo that she was not aware that Pokémon could communicate like humans, to which Mewtwo ponders if he is a Pokémon or a human; however, Ambertwo says it should never matter which one it is. | The scientists observe the immature Mewtwo floating in its tank and lament that despite its strong vital signs, it has not gained consciousness, much like the other clones.

* In the [[dub]], Dr. Fuji pleads that his theories are true after {{an|Amber}} explains why all of the clones' names end in "-two." In the original, he speaks to Amber and wonders what she is saying telepathically. | * In the [[dub]], Dr. Fuji pleads that his theories are true after {{an|Amber}} explains why all of the clones' names end in "-two."

* During the flashback of Dr. Fuji and his wife in the dub, he tells her that he has reawakened Amber's consciousness and just needs to "keep it viable long enough to complete the process", implying that he has successfully retrieved an actual part of Amber's self. In the original, however, he says that he has only electronically replicated her consciousness into a hologram, but still swears that he can bring her back to life. | * During the flashback of Dr. Fuji and his wife in the dub, he tells her that he has reawakened Amber's consciousness and just needs to "keep it viable long enough to complete the process", implying that he has successfully retrieved an actual part of Amber's self.

* Amber's last words are significantly different between each version of the short. In the original, she says that living beings cry when in pain, but only humans cry from sadness. In the dub, she says, "My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story that when Pokémon are sad and they cry, their tears are full of life." | * Amber's last words are significantly different between each version of the short.
