Differences between the anime and the manga

Ancient Mewtwo card

• The manga does not include Melody, Carol, Tobias, Team Rocket, Delia, and Professor Ivy.

• Only Ash, Misty, and Tracey are trapped by Lawrence III's airship, whereas in the anime, Team Rocket and Melody are also taken aboard.
• Lawrence III is killed, whereas he survives in the movie.
• Lawrence III's signature card is a Mewtwo instead of the Ancient Mew card like in the anime.
