'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} [[Pokémon]] cloned from a {{p|Mew}}.
'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] who was [[Cloning|cloned]] from a {{p|Mew}}. It is a main character in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and has also made multiple appearances in the main series episodes and other media.
 
During the beginning of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in its lead-up episodes (''[[EP064|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP065|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', and ''[[EP066|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''), Mewtwo is seen working for {{an|Giovanni}}. This has led to Mewtwo being associated with [[Giovanni]] in other [[canon]]s as well, with him even being depicted as Mewtwo's {{pkmn|Trainer}} in some of his appearances, such as {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and {{g|Masters EX}}.


The story of Mewtwo is chronicled in ''The Birth of Mewtwo'' (CD drama), ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' (movie), ''Mewtwo Returns'' (TV special), and the bonus short from ''Mewtwo Returns'' "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin". He made a brief appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', when [[Giovanni]] used him to defeat [[Gary Oak]], and in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where he escapes from [[Team Rocket]] headquarters (a scene also chronicled in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', and later seen again in ''Mewtwo Returns'').
==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Young Mewtwo crying.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Mewtwo crying as Ambertwo dies]]
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
=====Kanto=====
Approximately twenty years ago, [[Team Rocket]] discovered that a {{p|Mew}} was living in [[Guyana]]. Many years later, under the orders of the new boss {{an|Giovanni}}, an expedition team of Team Rocket scientists traveled to the area to search for a fossil of Mew, and succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to it. Giovanni hired {{an|Dr. Fuji}} to clone Mew for him and create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Fuji agreed, but only in order to continue his research into cloning his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}.


==History==
One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and stored at [[New Island]]. At this point, it was still not fully grown and lived in a large tank beside others that contained {{p|Bulbasaur}}two, {{p|Squirtle}}two, {{p|Charmander}}two, and Ambertwo. Fuji and the other scientists thought that Mewtwo was unconscious inside its tube, but it was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo and the other clones. However, because the cloning process requires a strong life force, all four other clones died. Before this, Mew was revealed to have an immortal life force, explaining why Mew's DNA sample made a successful clone in Mewtwo.
[[File:Young Mewtwo.png‎|thumb|left|225px|Young Mewtwo crying as Ambertwo dies]]
Approximately twenty years before the present, Team Rocket discovered that a Mew was living in the {{wp|Andes|Andes Mountains}}. Many years later, under the orders of its new leader, [[Giovanni]], Rocket members went back to the area to search for fossils. They succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to Mew. Giovanni asked [[Dr. Fuji]] to clone Mew for him. Fuji agreed because he wanted to use Team Rocket's research funds to attempt to clone his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}.


One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and was stored at [[New Island]]. At this point, he was still not fully grown and lived in a large test tube alongside a tube containing Ambertwo. Fuji and Giovanni thought Mewtwo was sleeping inside his tube, but he was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo. However, because the lifeforce of a human is not as strong as a Pokémon's, the Amber clone died. Mewtwo also grew alongside three other clones, a Bulbasaurtwo, Squirtletwo, and Charmandertwo. However, these clones died shortly before the Amber clone, suggesting that Mewtwo's lifeforce is even stronger than a normal Pokémon's.
Over the years, Mewtwo matured and grew confused over its origin and place in the world. After resolving to figure out where it belongs, Mewtwo broke out of its tank, with Mewtwo exchanging some words with its creators while asking about the nature of its existence and its destiny. The Team Rocket scientists were happy that they had succeeded in creating the most powerful Pokémon in the world, but that joy turned to horror once Mewtwo retaliated. Realizing that it was just an experiment of mankind, Mewtwo unleashed its fury upon them. Despite the efforts of the security systems that were designed to control it, Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory on New Island and all of the scientists in it.


Eventually, Mewtwo fully matured and broke out of his test tube. Those responsible for his creation were happy that they succeeded in their goal of creating the world's most powerful Pokémon. Enraged and confused about the circumstances that led to his creation and powers, Mewtwo attacked the scientists on New Island. Despite the efforts of security systems that attempted to control him, Mewtwo destroyed the island and all the scientists on it.
[[File:Mewtwo M22.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'']]
Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced it to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused as well as restrained by a robotic suit of armor as it performed tasks, such as battling for Giovanni in the [[Viridian Gym]] and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. [[EP063|At one point]], Giovanni, after temporarily (at the time) abdicating the Viridian Gym to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, utilized Mewtwo for what was presumably a very serious matter. Mewtwo eventually became tired of being used by Giovanni. It developed a strong hatred for humans and felt that they were weak and selfish beings who were only interested in power and wealth; it also despised the [[Caught Pokémon|Pokémon who served humans]]. Mewtwo escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process (something that the [[Team Rocket trio]] witnessed around [[EP065|the time]] they themselves momentarily considered defecting from Team Rocket), and relocated to its birthplace on New Island and built a castle there.


[[File:Mewtwo Analysis.png|right|thumb|225px|In his robotic suit, as an unknown species, according to the [[Pokédex]]]]
Mewtwo issued a challenge to several strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including [[Ash Ketchum]]. It used its powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers decided to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and {{ashfr}}. Upon revealing itself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with its clone Pokémon—{{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Charizard}}—to prove its superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon in comparison to trained Pokémon. To do this, Mewtwo used a variation of the {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|Poké Balls}} used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Trainers' Pokémon were cloned in a downstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, {{OBP|Mew|M01}} appeared. Mew and Mewtwo fought at length, ceasing only when Ash—exasperated over the drawn-out and fruitless battling—ran into the fray and was caught in their crossfire, which turned his body to stone. After Ash was revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experienced a change of heart and no longer sought to conquer the world. Mewtwo reasoned that it would be best if no one remembered the events that had transpired, so it erased the memories of all the people and Pokémon and transported everyone but Team Rocket back to the mainland. Mewtwo and Mew left New Island with the cloned Pokémon to seek a proper place for themselves.
Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced him to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused, as well as weakened and controlled, by a robotic suit of armor as he performed tasks such as battling under Giovanni within the [[Viridian Gym]] and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. Eventually Mewtwo became tired of being used by Giovanni. He developed a strong hatred for humans, and thought that they were weak beings only interested in power and greed; he also despised the [[Caught Pokémon|Pokémon who served humans]]. He escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process, and relocated to his birthplace on New Island, where he built his own headquarters. Mewtwo then issued a challenge to several strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including [[Ash Ketchum]]. He used his powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers managed to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and his friends. Upon revealing himself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with a {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Charizard}} (all cloned) to prove his superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon to trained Pokémon. To do this, he used a variation of the {{DL|Poké_Ball|Other_variants|Poké Balls}} used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Pokémon that had been brought to the island were cloned in an upstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, Mew appeared. The two Pokémon fought and ceased battle when Ash was caught in their crossfire and turned to stone. After Ash is revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experiences a change of heart and stops his destructive rampage. Wanting to find himself, Mewtwo erased the memories of those present and he and his clones left New Island for [[Johto]].

[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|thumb|220px|Mewtwo overlooking an unknown city]]
A few years later, Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place via one of their satellites and began a plan to capture him once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash, who did not remember their previous encounter. Giovanni restrained Mewtwo, but {{ashfr|Ash and friends}} helped him to escape and defeat Giovanni. At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories of him, and decided to move throughout the world searching for the meaning of his life.
=====Johto=====
Soon afterwards, Mewtwo and the clones migrated to [[Johto]] and eventually settled on [[Mount Quena]]. To prevent them from having any encounters with humans, Mewtwo frequently used severe storms to make the mountain inaccessible. One day, a bus full of people was nearly knocked off the road, so Mewtwo decided to use its telekinesis to right the bus and prevent an accident. After its actions were questioned, it explained to its fellow clones that a bus crash would attract even more humans. However, Meowthtwo believed that the act may have also been due to a growing soft spot for humanity, which Mewtwo vehemently denied.


In the epilogue to ''Mewtwo Returns'' and in some TV series opening sequences and movie previews, Mewtwo has been seen wearing a plain brown cape and moving across rooftops at night.

He also had a passing mention in the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', when the {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo was created, [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] claimed "This is not the Mewtwo you are familiar with", possibly meaning he saw Pikachu's memory of Mewtwo.

[[File:JN046.png|thumb|left|250px|Mewtwo preparing to battle Ash and Goh]]
Since its departure from Mount Quena, Mewtwo began protecting several Pokémon that had been abused by humans. They eventually settled on the isolated [[Cero Island]] to live in peace.
 
In ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] traveled to Cero Island after [[Professor Cerise]] detected an energy signature similar to that of {{an|Mew}} coming from that location. After wandering around the island's wilderness for some time, Ash and Goh fell over a waterfall but were seemingly saved by Mewtwo, who rendered them unconscious and teleported them to a giant tree somewhere on the island. They encountered the Pokémon in Mewtwo's protection shortly before Mewtwo itself appeared and confronted them. Ash, recalling their previous encounter, recognized it, while Mewtwo did not indicate whether it remembered Ash or not. Mewtwo demanded to know why they had come to the sanctuary, leading Goh to reveal his search for Mew. In response, Mewtwo questioned how capturing all of the Pokémon in the world would lead Goh to Mew. Goh explained his belief that capturing Pokémon helps to understand them, and that capturing all Pokémon would thus help him understand Mew since it has the genes of all Pokémon species. Recognizing that Mewtwo was a Pokémon itself, he challenged it with the intent of capturing it. Mewtwo warned them that it was created to be the strongest Pokémon in the world, which motivated Ash to challenge it as well, in order to push himself further down the road to becoming a Pokémon Master. Smiling at their dedication to their dreams, Mewtwo consented to a battle. Despite Ash and Goh's best efforts, Mewtwo easily defeated Pikachu, {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, and {{AP|Lucario}}.
 
After the battle, Mewtwo asked Ash and Goh if they would still pursue their dreams, even though there would be many challenges ahead. In response, they affirmed their dedication to their goals, saying they could rely on their friends. Encouraged by this, Mewtwo revealed its role in protecting the abused Pokémon. Deciding to leave Cero Island with the Pokémon under its protection, Mewtwo parted with Ash and Goh, bidding them farewell with the promise that their journeys had only just begun before teleporting them back to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.
 
Mewtwo was mentioned in ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'', where Goh used its energy signature to try to find Mew on [[Faraway Island]], with [[Professor Amaranth]] having redesigned Goh's sensor device to work based on the data from his encounter with Mewtwo on Cero Island.
 
Mewtwo briefly appeared alongside its friends in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', flying off in the background as Ash and Goh rode on {{p|Lugia}}.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Giovanni and Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo and Giovanni]]
Throughout the course of the [[M01|first movie]], Mewtwo viewed all humans as its enemy, as [[Team Rocket]]'s boss {{an|Giovanni}} would usually rely on it for his evil deeds, and the scientists strongly implied they were more pleased with the project being a success than its actual worth as a living being. However, ever since {{Ash}} was petrified by the attacks of both Mewtwo and {{OBP|Mew|M01}}, Mewtwo had a change of heart and did everything to make sure that no one remembered what happened.
 
Its personality and motives beyond the initial misanthropy were largely different between the Japanese version and the English dub of the original movie. In the former, Mewtwo was insecure about its place in the world largely due to its status as a clone, and it preferred having a more direct confrontation between humanity and naturally-born Pokémon as revenge via its own cloned Pokémon, with the hurricane being more of a means to an end in bringing about this confrontation. In the latter, Mewtwo is significantly more confident in his status as stronger than any known Pokémon in existence, including its template, and it fully intended to destroy the entire world via hurricane as revenge against humanity. On a similar note, Mewtwo also had different reactions regarding developments to its plan, particularly the sudden appearance of its cloned Pokémon. In the Japanese version, he was taken by surprise by the explosion of its lab beneath them, while in the English version, it instead proudly declared "behold!", implying that it anticipated the lab explosion to occur as part of unveiling its clone army. Its characterization in the dub for [[M22|the remake]] is much closer to that seen in the Japanese version.
 
It had calmed down considerably since the events in Kanto, and Mewtwo had grown into a guardian figure for its fellow clones. While it still questioned its place in the world, it felt responsible for its clones and was willing to sacrifice itself in order to keep them safe from harm. While still cautious regarding humans, Mewtwo was also willing to save them if the need called for it, such as when it used Psychic powers to save a busload of tourists; in the Japanese version, it conceded to Meowth-two's speculation that it did this due to having some care for the well-being of the humans (although it was mostly out of pragmatism due to wanting to avoid the risk of being discovered by the resulting news choppers). Its view on humanity was further changed as Ash helped Mewtwo to Purity Spring, when Mewtwo wondered why Ash would help it, Ash claimed that no one needs a reason to help someone. Mewtwo's outlook on life was further influenced by how the spring affected it. As the waters had the same restoring effect on it as they did on other Pokémon, it concluded that the world was its rightful place as well.
 
After the military operation on Mount Quena came to a head, Mewtwo had initially contemplated on erasing the memories of everyone involved. However, it took {{MTR}}'s speech into consideration, as erasing their memories would prevent the clones from learning about their past, and forgetting would not change the fact that things happen. Mewtwo decided to only erase the memories of Team Rocket—excluding [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth—and departed.
 
By ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Mewtwo had again taken up the role of a protector, this time to a group of Pokémon abused by humans. Even though it did not try to hide its strength, it had mellowed even further following the Mount Quena events, to the point where Ash and Goh's dedication to their dreams made it smile.

====Mewtwo Strikes Back!====
Mewtwo appeared in the {{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!|manga adaptation}} of the first movie. Although his overall role in the adaptation was the same, he notably had a much different backstory.<ref>This is because the original theatrical script, used as the basis for the manga adaptation, did not include either [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] or the prologue used in the movie, the latter of which had to be added in due to the delay caused by the [[EP038]] incident</ref> In this adaptation, Mewtwo looked up to Dr. Fuji as a father and ended up reluctantly destroying the lab, Fuji included, at the latter's request, in order to deny Giovanni's interest of mass-producing Mewtwo as weapons, an action that Mewtwo was still haunted by in the present day. He also had a [[CoroCoro]] cup competition set up to arrange for various Trainers to meet him instead of simply supplying them with invitations.

==In other media==
===Pokémon Live!===
Mewtwo appeared during the climax of [[Pokémon Live!]]. It made its entrance after blocking a {{m|Hyper Beam}} aimed at {{Ash}} by [[MechaMew2]], an artificial robot Pokémon created by {{an|Giovanni}} as Mewtwo's replacement. At Giovanni's command, MechaMew2 used its ability to copy any [[move|attack]] to learn the attack Mewtwo tried to use on it. However, instead of a real attack, Mewtwo taught the robot the power of love, which caused it to turn against Giovanni and use {{m|Self-Destruct}} to destroy itself. Much like in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Mewtwo then proceeded to wipe Ash's memories, leaving him with no recollection of the encounter.

[[Image:Mewtwo_in_the_City.png|right|thumb|230px|Mewtwo overlooking a city at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
[[File:M2 Bind.png|thumb|200px|Mewtwo's robotic suit in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
*In the [[M01|first movie]], Mewtwo used {{m|Shadow Ball}} despite this move not being released at the time.
* One of Mewtwo's moves in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{m|Shadow Ball}}, had not yet been introduced in the {{pkmn|games}} at the time.
* The cloned Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur look extremely similar to their cloned evolved forms. Mewtwo also mentions when he introduces them to {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Fergus]], [[Corey]], [[Neesha]], and [[Nurse Joy]] that he also had a Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, and that they evolved, which hints that he may have cloned them from his childhood friends.

Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Mewtwo) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon who was cloned from a Mew. It is a main character in Mewtwo Strikes Back and has also made multiple appearances in the main series episodes and other media.

During the beginning of Mewtwo Strikes Back and in its lead-up episodes (The Battle of the Badge, It's Mr. Mime Time, and Showdown at the Po-ké Corral), Mewtwo is seen working for Giovanni. This has led to Mewtwo being associated with Giovanni in other canons as well, with him even being depicted as Mewtwo's Trainer in some of his appearances, such as Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Pokémon Masters EX.

In the anime

History

Original series

Young Mewtwo crying as Ambertwo dies
Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back
Kanto

Approximately twenty years ago, Team Rocket discovered that a Mew was living in Guyana. Many years later, under the orders of the new boss Giovanni, an expedition team of Team Rocket scientists traveled to the area to search for a fossil of Mew, and succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to it. Giovanni hired Dr. Fuji to clone Mew for him and create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Fuji agreed, but only in order to continue his research into cloning his deceased daughter, Amber.

One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and stored at New Island. At this point, it was still not fully grown and lived in a large tank beside others that contained Bulbasaurtwo, Squirtletwo, Charmandertwo, and Ambertwo. Fuji and the other scientists thought that Mewtwo was unconscious inside its tube, but it was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo and the other clones. However, because the cloning process requires a strong life force, all four other clones died. Before this, Mew was revealed to have an immortal life force, explaining why Mew's DNA sample made a successful clone in Mewtwo.

Over the years, Mewtwo matured and grew confused over its origin and place in the world. After resolving to figure out where it belongs, Mewtwo broke out of its tank, with Mewtwo exchanging some words with its creators while asking about the nature of its existence and its destiny. The Team Rocket scientists were happy that they had succeeded in creating the most powerful Pokémon in the world, but that joy turned to horror once Mewtwo retaliated. Realizing that it was just an experiment of mankind, Mewtwo unleashed its fury upon them. Despite the efforts of the security systems that were designed to control it, Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory on New Island and all of the scientists in it.

Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution

Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced it to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused as well as restrained by a robotic suit of armor as it performed tasks, such as battling for Giovanni in the Viridian Gym and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. At one point, Giovanni, after temporarily (at the time) abdicating the Viridian Gym to Jessie, James, and Meowth, utilized Mewtwo for what was presumably a very serious matter. Mewtwo eventually became tired of being used by Giovanni. It developed a strong hatred for humans and felt that they were weak and selfish beings who were only interested in power and wealth; it also despised the Pokémon who served humans. Mewtwo escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process (something that the Team Rocket trio witnessed around the time they themselves momentarily considered defecting from Team Rocket), and relocated to its birthplace on New Island and built a castle there.

Mewtwo issued a challenge to several strong Pokémon Trainers, including Ash Ketchum. It used its powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers decided to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and his friends. Upon revealing itself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with its clone Pokémon—Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard—to prove its superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon in comparison to trained Pokémon. To do this, Mewtwo used a variation of the Poké Balls used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Trainers' Pokémon were cloned in a downstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, Mew appeared. Mew and Mewtwo fought at length, ceasing only when Ash—exasperated over the drawn-out and fruitless battling—ran into the fray and was caught in their crossfire, which turned his body to stone. After Ash was revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experienced a change of heart and no longer sought to conquer the world. Mewtwo reasoned that it would be best if no one remembered the events that had transpired, so it erased the memories of all the people and Pokémon and transported everyone but Team Rocket back to the mainland. Mewtwo and Mew left New Island with the cloned Pokémon to seek a proper place for themselves.

Mewtwo overlooking an unknown city
Johto

Soon afterwards, Mewtwo and the clones migrated to Johto and eventually settled on Mount Quena. To prevent them from having any encounters with humans, Mewtwo frequently used severe storms to make the mountain inaccessible. One day, a bus full of people was nearly knocked off the road, so Mewtwo decided to use its telekinesis to right the bus and prevent an accident. After its actions were questioned, it explained to its fellow clones that a bus crash would attract even more humans. However, Meowthtwo believed that the act may have also been due to a growing soft spot for humanity, which Mewtwo vehemently denied.

After a few years, Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place using one of Team Rocket's satellites and began a plan to capture it once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash, who did not remember their previous encounter. Giovanni restrained Mewtwo, but Ash and his friends helped it to escape and defeat Giovanni. At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories and decided to move throughout the world, searching for the meaning of its life.

Unknown city

In the epilogue to Mewtwo Returns and in some openings and movie previews, Mewtwo has been seen wearing a plain brown cape and moving across rooftops at night.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Mewtwo preparing to battle Ash and Goh

Since its departure from Mount Quena, Mewtwo began protecting several Pokémon that had been abused by humans. They eventually settled on the isolated Cero Island to live in peace.

In Getting More Than You Battled For!, Ash and Goh traveled to Cero Island after Professor Cerise detected an energy signature similar to that of Mew coming from that location. After wandering around the island's wilderness for some time, Ash and Goh fell over a waterfall but were seemingly saved by Mewtwo, who rendered them unconscious and teleported them to a giant tree somewhere on the island. They encountered the Pokémon in Mewtwo's protection shortly before Mewtwo itself appeared and confronted them. Ash, recalling their previous encounter, recognized it, while Mewtwo did not indicate whether it remembered Ash or not. Mewtwo demanded to know why they had come to the sanctuary, leading Goh to reveal his search for Mew. In response, Mewtwo questioned how capturing all of the Pokémon in the world would lead Goh to Mew. Goh explained his belief that capturing Pokémon helps to understand them, and that capturing all Pokémon would thus help him understand Mew since it has the genes of all Pokémon species. Recognizing that Mewtwo was a Pokémon itself, he challenged it with the intent of capturing it. Mewtwo warned them that it was created to be the strongest Pokémon in the world, which motivated Ash to challenge it as well, in order to push himself further down the road to becoming a Pokémon Master. Smiling at their dedication to their dreams, Mewtwo consented to a battle. Despite Ash and Goh's best efforts, Mewtwo easily defeated Pikachu, Cinderace, and Lucario.

After the battle, Mewtwo asked Ash and Goh if they would still pursue their dreams, even though there would be many challenges ahead. In response, they affirmed their dedication to their goals, saying they could rely on their friends. Encouraged by this, Mewtwo revealed its role in protecting the abused Pokémon. Deciding to leave Cero Island with the Pokémon under its protection, Mewtwo parted with Ash and Goh, bidding them farewell with the promise that their journeys had only just begun before teleporting them back to the Cerise Laboratory, allowing them to retain their memories of the encounter.

Mewtwo was mentioned in The Mew from Here!, where Goh used its energy signature to try to find Mew on Faraway Island, with Professor Amaranth having redesigned Goh's sensor device to work based on the data from his encounter with Mewtwo on Cero Island.

Mewtwo briefly appeared alongside its friends in This Could be the Start of Something Big!, flying off in the background as Ash and Goh rode on Lugia.

Personality and characteristics

Mewtwo and Giovanni

Throughout the course of the first movie, Mewtwo viewed all humans as its enemy, as Team Rocket's boss Giovanni would usually rely on it for his evil deeds, and the scientists strongly implied they were more pleased with the project being a success than its actual worth as a living being. However, ever since Ash was petrified by the attacks of both Mewtwo and Mew, Mewtwo had a change of heart and did everything to make sure that no one remembered what happened.

Its personality and motives beyond the initial misanthropy were largely different between the Japanese version and the English dub of the original movie. In the former, Mewtwo was insecure about its place in the world largely due to its status as a clone, and it preferred having a more direct confrontation between humanity and naturally-born Pokémon as revenge via its own cloned Pokémon, with the hurricane being more of a means to an end in bringing about this confrontation. In the latter, Mewtwo is significantly more confident in his status as stronger than any known Pokémon in existence, including its template, and it fully intended to destroy the entire world via hurricane as revenge against humanity. On a similar note, Mewtwo also had different reactions regarding developments to its plan, particularly the sudden appearance of its cloned Pokémon. In the Japanese version, he was taken by surprise by the explosion of its lab beneath them, while in the English version, it instead proudly declared "behold!", implying that it anticipated the lab explosion to occur as part of unveiling its clone army. Its characterization in the dub for the remake is much closer to that seen in the Japanese version.

It had calmed down considerably since the events in Kanto, and Mewtwo had grown into a guardian figure for its fellow clones. While it still questioned its place in the world, it felt responsible for its clones and was willing to sacrifice itself in order to keep them safe from harm. While still cautious regarding humans, Mewtwo was also willing to save them if the need called for it, such as when it used Psychic powers to save a busload of tourists; in the Japanese version, it conceded to Meowth-two's speculation that it did this due to having some care for the well-being of the humans (although it was mostly out of pragmatism due to wanting to avoid the risk of being discovered by the resulting news choppers). Its view on humanity was further changed as Ash helped Mewtwo to Purity Spring, when Mewtwo wondered why Ash would help it, Ash claimed that no one needs a reason to help someone. Mewtwo's outlook on life was further influenced by how the spring affected it. As the waters had the same restoring effect on it as they did on other Pokémon, it concluded that the world was its rightful place as well.

After the military operation on Mount Quena came to a head, Mewtwo had initially contemplated on erasing the memories of everyone involved. However, it took Meowth's speech into consideration, as erasing their memories would prevent the clones from learning about their past, and forgetting would not change the fact that things happen. Mewtwo decided to only erase the memories of Team Rocket—excluding Jessie, James, and Meowth—and departed.

By Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Mewtwo had again taken up the role of a protector, this time to a group of Pokémon abused by humans. Even though it did not try to hide its strength, it had mellowed even further following the Mount Quena events, to the point where Ash and Goh's dedication to their dreams made it smile.

Mewtwo Strikes Back!

Mewtwo appeared in the manga adaptation of the first movie. Although his overall role in the adaptation was the same, he notably had a much different backstory.[1] In this adaptation, Mewtwo looked up to Dr. Fuji as a father and ended up reluctantly destroying the lab, Fuji included, at the latter's request, in order to deny Giovanni's interest of mass-producing Mewtwo as weapons, an action that Mewtwo was still haunted by in the present day. He also had a CoroCoro cup competition set up to arrange for various Trainers to meet him instead of simply supplying them with invitations.

Pokémon Live!

Mewtwo appeared during the climax of Pokémon Live!. It made its entrance after blocking a Hyper Beam aimed at Ash by MechaMew2, an artificial robot Pokémon created by Giovanni as Mewtwo's replacement. At Giovanni's command, MechaMew2 used its ability to copy any attack to learn the attack Mewtwo tried to use on it. However, instead of a real attack, Mewtwo taught the robot the power of love, which caused it to turn against Giovanni and use Self-Destruct to destroy itself. Much like in Mewtwo Strikes Back, Mewtwo then proceeded to wipe Ash's memories, leaving him with no recollection of the encounter.
