(Japanese: 神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒 ExtremeSpeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens) is the third Best Wishes series movie and the sixteenth Pokémon movie overall. It was released in Japan on July 13, 2013.

The movie features Genesect and Mewtwo in prominent roles. The "Genesect Army"—a group of five Genesect—appear in the film, led by a Shiny Genesect while the other four Genesect represent each of the four Drives; Mewtwo's new "Awakened Form" is also featured, in advance of its debut in Pokémon X and Y. All five Genesect made an appearance prior to the release of the film in Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry! during a flashback, while Mewtwo appeared in a special episode, serving as a prologue to the film.

In Japanese theaters, the movie was featured with the Pikachu short PK25.

Trivia

  • The setting for this film is based on New York City, including Central Park. Director Kunihiko Yuyama has stated that this is due to his desire to create a contrast between the ancient Genesect and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
  • In the scene where Mewtwo and Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a Pokémon Baccer match between the Jubilife Reds and Cianwood Greens, the two teams who were seen in the prologue of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
  • This film marks the first time in which the final movie of an anime series doesn't feature a Pokémon from the following generation.
    • It does, however, feature a new Forme of an old Pokémon that can only be obtained starting in the following generation.
  • This is the fifth consecutive film in which Ash and his friends do not meet Team Rocket. However, unlike the previous film, they have a speaking role. In addition, this is the first film since Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea in which Team Rocket's actions have an actual effect on the plot: James's dropped bazooka is later used as a plot device to advance the Genesect beginning to trust Ash.
  • This is the first film since Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea to not feature Shōko Nakagawa as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the Pikachu short attached to the film, PK25.
