OK!!
Where am I?
Who am I?
Why was I here?
In fact, I am still here.
Who am I, really?
It's awake!
Did it managed to do it on his own?
Excellent!
We've successfully cloned Mewtwo from Mew at last.
You are the Pokémon who was created by humans.
I was crated by humans?
Even so, then I'm not really a Pokémon!
Mew!
That's not true!
Go!
STOP!
A human tried to interfere with our battle?
I do admit.
We were born.
We are alive.
That is all.
This is a secluded area, untouched by humans...
Pure’s Rock.
It’s usually covered in clouds,
rarely seeing clear skies like these.
Mewtwo...?
How beautiful.
This lake is far more beautiful than any other I have gazed upon.
But do I...
...have the right to claim it as beautiful?
Who am I?
Yes. I am Mewtwo.
I was created by humans,
from the Mythical Pokémon known as Mew...
Created with the sole purpose to fight.
And then I created...
...all these Pokémon copies.
But after all that transpired,
it is best that no one know of our existence.
Unknown...
And undisturbed...
We will live on.
Together with this beautiful lake.
MEWTWO!
I AM HERE
Aiming to enter the Johto League, Satoshi and his friends continue their journey.
Beneath the clear, blue sky, they traverse a deep, thick forest.
What’s that?
Wow!
That mountain’s the famous Pure’s Rock.
It truly is a wonder of nature!
The next town’s on the other side of that mountain.
How are we getting past that?
Apparently, there’s a bus that goes around the mountain once a week.
Its stop is at the foot of the mountain.
And when does it leave?
Lunch time. Meaning today at noon.
Today?! Then we’d better get moving!
What a pity.
I was planning on making pancakes drenched in sweet syrup for today’s lunch...
Really?!
Look! Isn’t that the bus?
Looks like it is!
Th-Then we better hurry!
Rain? Aw, man.
My frying pan can make a good umbrella in a fix...
...or, maybe not.
My, those kids never learn, do they?
You never know what can happen on a long journey.
An umbrella and extra food are the bare essentials.
That’s the first thing you learn about long journeys.
Wait, have we always been carting those around, meow?
We’re just lucky we had them. That’s all that matters.
But are you really sure we’ll be fine, meow?
What do you mean?
“Pure’s Rock:
“The surrounding topography and airflow create bizarre weather.
“When it rains, there’s torrential downpours with mud slides.
“When it gusts, there’s 40 m/s gales, with frequent tornadoes.
“Few tourists would ever come here.”
40 meters per second?! Isn’t that basically a typhoon?!
I think it’s here...
Rather than try and pack random junk...
...we’re better off when we just wing it!
Okay then, everyone, all together now...
What an awful feeling!
Big Sis, there’s still a little while before the bus is supposed to depart,
but the bus is full and the weather is terrible. You’d better leave while you can.
You’re right. I’ll set off.
Bye.
Hey! Wait for us!
A-Are you okay?
Wh-Where’s the bus? We’re here for the bus!
You’re too late. It just left.
Madame! Would you like to shelter yourself underneath this frying pan with me?
Now’s not the time for that!
Yes, ma’am...
We could still make it! We’ll chase after it!
Don’t do that! It’s too dangerous!
It’s pouring now, and the wind could pick up at any moment!
Not to mention, you’re all covered in mud.
You can all take a shower at my place.
It’s... a miracle!
You ask me why I rescued the humans?
If there is an accident, many other humans will rush here to rescue them,
and they could discover us.
“That’s not the only reason”?
“I also did not want the humans hurt”...
Is that what you believe?
Do you believe I am a Pokémon who can show such compassion towards humans?
Me? Mewtwo?
How absurd.
We barely even got here...
...and already, what an awful feeling...
We never learn, meow.
Well, just make yourselves at home.
The next bus won’t be here for another week.
I use this cabin as lodging for people waiting for the bus.
We have to wait here a week?!
Isn’t there another way around this mountain?
You could go down the river leading into Pure River.
That might get you to the other side.
Down the river? In that case, leave it to me!
I’m a girl from a Water-type Pokémon Gym!
Speaking of, the river’s water has a wonderful flavor!
Go on, drink up.
This... this water... It’s the best! It’s the best!
It’s so tasty I can’t stop myself! It’s the best!
Ooh, ooh, let me try!
It’s like all the fluids in my body are being washed clean!
It just looks like water to me.
Take a drink and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
I think the chocolate milk my mom makes is better.
You’re pitting water against chocolate?!
You’re just ignorant!
Ig-nor-ant!
If you’re gonna ignore me ‘cause you think I’m an ant...
Pikachu, you’re no ant. What do you think?
They can tell how special this water is!
That so, huh...?
But anyway, let’s just put our faith in these amazing waters,
and head down the river!
This is lovely.
So much nicer than taking that bus.
We’ll be fine, but I’m not sure you’ll be so happy, Kasumi.
This river’s waters are very clean.
And Bug Pokémon love clean water.
If they’re fans of beautiful water too, a couple bugs won’t bug me!
I sure hope so...
I’ll be fine, just fine!
Look at that!
It’s a Christmas tree!
Of course it isn’t!
But it’s pretty!
Those are Ledian.
They say that the spots on their backs sparkle on starry nights.
Ledian, huh? I wish all bugs could be so charming...
And these are Cocoon!
When Cocoon evolve, they become Spear.
Wherever you find Cocoon, you’ll find Spear.
No way, no way, no way, no way!
The river proved quite treacherous, didn’t it?
Yes, ma’am. Learned my lesson.
Isn’t there another way?
Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
We’ll scale Pure’s Rock... And head over the top!
That’s the most difficult approach.
What is at the top of the mountain, anyway?
Guarded by sheer cliffs that keep away humans,
it’s one remaining microcosm of undisturbed nature.
There’s a vast forest, with a hidden lake, Clear Lake.
That’s where this area’s water comes from.
The water flows through Pure’s Rock and into Pure River.
And, nourished by the water,
many different kinds of wild Pokémon thrive.
I wonder what kinds of Pokémon live there... I’d sure like to check it out!
What’s that?
It’s a swarm of Butterfree!
Butterfree use Pure’s Rock as a birthplace for their offspring.
Living as desired. Born with purpose.
That is being a Pokémon. That is living.
But, we were different.
So how should we live our lives?
What should we do with our lives?
What do you think?
You say living here in hiding...
...is no different to being locked in a cell?
Nyarth, what say you?
“No matter where you are, the moon will always be round,” you say?
But we are artificial copies of Pokémon.
We are not real Pokémon.
“Whether we are Pokémon or not, the moon is still round.
“Is that not the case?”
I see. You have a point.
So this is one of the places where Butterfree come from.
Anyone there?
Coming!
A visitor?
This late at night?
Who is it?
Good morning, everyone... Kidding!
I know it’s, like, actually sleepytime.
I hate to impose, but could we stay here for a while?
I am Penicillina.
Penicillina? You don’t mean the famous medical professor, do you?
I do. You’re Luna Carson, right?
I’ve read many of your articles about Pokémon.
So then, may we come in?
Ah, yes! Please do.
Pokémon articles?
Providing lodging for travelers isn’t my only job.
I also conduct research on the surrounding wildlife.
Domino’s totally wowed! So are ya famous?
I think ya just made a fan outta me!
You’re the biologist Ms. Luna, right?
Uh... yes. And you are?
This is Domino, a student from the National Pokémon Research Lab.
I’m Domino!
Domino! What a lovely name!
How about we topple some dominoes— No!
I’d even fall like a domino myself if it’s with you!
Okay, okay... You don’t need to do the same bit twice in one day...
It will be a week until the bus gets here.
We did not come here for the bus. We came for the water.
The water?
I have been studying Pure River for quite some time now.
And I discovered that the water in that river possesses beneficial properties.
This is a sample.
I absolutely must study the source of Pure River, Clear Lake.
Is that so...?
But the greater the benefit of the water...
...the more people will come seeking it.
If that happened, what would become of all the wildlife here?
Well...
And besides, it’s far too dangerous to climb the mountain.
If you tell us “it’s far too dangerous”...
We’ll want to do it even more out of sympathy for the world!
To protect the world from devastation.
To preserve world peace.
Championing the evils of truth and love.
We’re the lovely, charming villains.
Musashi!
Kojiro!
The Rocket Gang duo soars through the galaxy!
Like a white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!
Just kidding, meow!
Rocket Gang!
“Rocket Gang”? Never seen them before...
This time for real, we’re taking Pikachu with us!
You think I’ll let that happen?
Oh, you will, indeed! Electricity Insulating and Absorbing Wire!
Pikachu!
As long as we have Pikachu by our side, we win.
Now, over valleys and mountains we go, flying straight to the boss.
It’s pointless, meow. Not only does that rope insulate electricity, it also sucks it up, meow!
Well then, click, meow.
You’re not getting away with this! I’ll knock you out of the air!
That’s not gonna work. Take a look at this!
Times have changed. Rocket Gang now has rockets!
That’s the same thing!
Not so fast! The weather is unstable here!
It’s far too dangerous to fly in that!
Aw, you’re worried about us? You’re such a nice guy!
You’re making me all excited. But! You mustn’t stop me!
You mustn’t! You mustn’t! How awkward. I am evil, you are good...
There is an impassable gulf between us!
So please don’t stop me! You lovely man, you.
“Lovely man”? Is that Musashi’s type, meow?
Hey, let’s just leave already.
Quiet! I’m not done yet!
...said the beautiful lady, reluctant to leave, as she reined in the flames of love towards the lovely man,
and fired up the rockets instead.
Oh, how tragic!
Click.
Pikachu!
Farewell, lovely man. Oh, cruel rockets, take me all the way up to the moon!
Fly me to the moon!
I can’t see the moon, meow.
But it was there just a second ago...
The winds have picked up again.
Those two are in danger. How reckless!
More like senseless.
But they have my Pikachu!
Help!
No matter what you say, I’m going to save him!
It seems there’s no stopping you.
I know more about Pure’s Rock than anyone else. You’ll help, won’t you?
Of course!
I’ll accompany you, too!
Eek, I’m scared! What should I do?
You didn’t have to join us, you know.
But I would’ve been even more scared all by myself!
Domino!
Up here!
That was a close one. Seems at least luck’s on my side!
Is it my imagination, or have we just been going round in circles?
Can’t we do anything about this?
It’s all up to the wind. Nothing we can do, meow.
Everyone, hang tight!
Rocket Gang! Give Pikachu back!
Look out! They’re headed straight for us!
We’re over capacity! The gondola’s gonna break, meow...
If you come out, it’ll be even heavier!
The wind stopped.
The winds have stopped.
A lake in a place like this!
There’s even an island, meow!
Found you.
Target located. Beginning analysis...
Mewtwo confirmed.
No confirmation needed. I know full well that is Mewtwo.
Those children...?
We meet once again.
Is this fate?
Mewtwo...
I swear, I will not let you go.
They were never to meet.
They were never to remember.
Yet, there they were...
And something monumental is in store.
What’s that?
Aside from Mewtwo, there are other Pokémon giving off similar readings.
As I expected. Even Mewtwo cannot stand solitude.
It needed companions.
009, move in.
On it, sir.
What’s the big idea?
All Rocket Gang elite squad troops standing by: take off.
Rocket Gang elite squad?
Where?
What, meow?
My...
Now that’s going all-out...
Those must be expensive, meow.
Give Pikachu back!
Domino, what is the meaning of this?
Now that you mention it...
Who are you?
When asked “who are you?”, you’re never supposed to answer.
That is the rule a real Rocket lives by.
But I don’t want idiot Rocket Gang operatives raining on my parade.
Rocket Gang A-Class Number 009, Domino!
Or as some call me, “Black Tulip”!
You...
You, a sweet young lady from the National Pokémon Research Lab...
Rocket Gang spies are never far.
So perhaps...
The person smiling right next to you could be a Rocket Gang spy!
By the way, we’re in it, too.
We’re Rocket Gang!
Just kidding, meow!
Rocket Gang members getting in the way of Rocket Gang...
...should make like good little rockets... and blast off!
See ya, then! Have a nice day! Bye!
Every car has air bags these days,
so could someone explain why our balloon has no safety gear?
Our budget, meow.
Well, look on the bright side! At least we got Pikachu this time!
This is progress, you know?
Did he escape in the confusion, meow?
It doesn’t look to me like he got away.
Instead of getting away...
It looks more like...
Getting revenge!
L-Looks like we’ve been rescued.
But why?
Over there, meow!
Pikachu and...
Pikachu?
Translate, translate!
The other one said, “so we meet again.”
Are they friends?
Meow, the mood seems really tense. More like enemies, meow.
Really?
“I didn’t want to have to see you again.
“Why did you come here?!”, he’s asking, meow.
“We, the copy Pokémon, were just living here in secrecy,
“and now you’ve brought humans here. The humans we were hiding from.”
Huh? Is that a copy of Pikachu? What’s going on, meow?
Apparently, our Pikachu doesn’t know either, meow.
“Leave at once! If you refuse, then...”
Doesn’t it look like he’s in battle mode?
Pikachu versus Pikachu. This could be the showdown of the season!
Stop this. Halt this meaningless battle.
There is no difference between the real Pikachu and the copy.
We may all be mere copies of Pokémon...
However, just as real Pokémon, we are alive.
Copies and real Pokémon?
I don’t get what that’s all about.
Um, pardon my asking, but who might you be?
I hoped we would stay forgotten.
But you returned.
We tried to live here in peace and quiet,
but you are upon us, nonetheless.
Have we met before?
“All we can do now is fight.
“Claim our home for ourselves!” he says, meow.
“This isn’t just some little battle, it’s a war!” That sounds ominous, meow!
He says Pokémon shouldn’t fight one another.
“Especially since the moon is so round...”
That’s for sure, meow.
The moon reflects the light of the sun, and so it can only shine during the night.
The world of sunlight is the domain of those truly born upon this planet.
We copies only exist as their shadows.
Our only choice is to live in the shadows. We have no other place.
The moon really is round, meow.
“But why do we have to live in the shadows?”
“I know the truth. There’s a big world out there beyond this lake.”
“A vast world...”
“Pikachu, you know about that world, don’t you?
“You’re living in that vast world now, aren’t you?”
“Can’t we share that world with you?”
“Can’t we live in freedom like everyone else?” He’s right, meow.
You can say that again.
But don’t worry.
I used to be the same... Dreaming of the day I would find freedom out in the great, big world.
I knew someday I would, and now...!
Now, we can say it! We’re free in this vast world.
Our future...
Like a white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!
Just kidding...
But...
I was a manufactured Pokémon.
As were all of you.
Do we have the right...?
Mewtwo, just you wait.
At dawn, we launch our attack!
Is everyone okay?
Barely.
Togepi seems okay, too.
Pikachu is...
Pikachu is still with them.
The balloon flew over to that island, right?
We have to go there!
But how?
Don’t worry.
There’s a nice log over there.
Let’s make a canoe.
A canoe?
She means we’ll hollow out the log and use it as a boat.
All right! If we’re doing that...
Chicorita! Fushigidane! I choose you!
Chicorita! Fushigidane! Use Razor Leaf!
We’d better move quickly and quietly so they don’t spot us.
Fight?
I cannot do that.
Humans...
They are the ones who spawned me.
If that is so...
Must we leave once again...
...on a blind search for another refuge?
They’ll be here soon, right? You know, to rescue us.
Do you really want that?
This is humiliating. We can’t let Sakaki see us like this!
That Pikachu’s about to make a big announcement, meow.
“Unless we do something, we’re bound to be captured and dissected by the humans.”
“If we are going to escape, it has to be now.”
“We will head out into the vast world!”
If that’s what they’re doing, let’s ask them for a favor!
Can you take us with you?
They took us somewhere, all right, but what’s with this place?
It looks like a jail to me.
You guys sure are dense, meow.
There’s no way they’d take Rocket Gang, their enemies, along with them.
Then why are you free?
I’m a Pokémon who can speak human language!
I’ll probably come in handy.
Yeah, but...!
Negotiations went as easy as the moon is round, meow.
Hey, hold on! You’re playing favorites!
It’s time to leave, meow!
Huh? It’s the brat boy’s Pikachu.
What’s he doing with them?
Don’t worry, meow.
I’ll get Pikachu and take him to Sakaki in your place, meow.
So that means the credit...
...will all go to Nyarth?
Just leave everything to me, meow!
If everything works out, I’ll send you some of my Pokémon food from outside, meow.
No, thanks!
While some may leave,
others stay behind.
As long as you stay here, I can protect you.
However,
even if I brought them into this world...
If they wish to seek freedom...
Stopping them would only be selfish.
What should I do...
...about their freedom?
Pikachu...
Where are we?
This water...
How is that possible?
Ms. Luna! This water is marvelous!
Undoubtedly the greatest water on this planet!
The greatest water on this planet?
Living beings, such as humans, are primarily composed of water,
but that water contains a variety of nutrients in a delicate balance.
Yes. And if that balance is thrown off, their health suffers...
...impacting not just their bodies, but even their emotions and personalities.
The water here contains a perfect balance of everything an organism needs to live!
It’s a miracle that water like this still exists in the world!
That’s it!
This is Clear Lake, the source of Pure River’s waters!
Aw, how cute!
They don’t have any breeders,
but they all look so healthy!
With beautiful, undisturbed nature like this,
and perfectly balanced water, any being can thrive, all on their own.
But where are their parents?
They’re over there, watching.
All the creatures who were born here are perfectly balanced, physically and mentally...
...and they will grow up to be astonishing Pokémon!
And their parents are eagerly awaiting that.
We’d better leave this place before we disturb them.
After all, it doesn’t seem like Pikachu is here.
Okay. We’ll go back and look somewhere else.
Here at last, meow.
Are you all okay, meow?
Hey! Snap out of it, meow!
What? “Will the moon be round tonight?”
We don’t have time for that now!
Worry about the round Monster Balls! Let’s get out of here!
You!
So we meet again, Mewtwo.
My powers have greatly matured since you last saw me.
Do you honestly think you will be able to control me as you did before?
You certainly are stronger, I’ll give you that.
But humans have the technology to create a machine capable of sealing your powers.
How about it? You should think twice before you patronize me.
Do you sincerely think you can defeat me with heartless machines?
Having no heart just means they are devoted to hunting you.
We shall see.
Raise the power.
I’m impressed, Mewtwo.
True strength cannot come from those devoid of a heart.
I understand that.
But having a heart is also a weakness.
You still desire to best me in battle?
In a direct battle, I’d have no chance.
But the real battle will unfold on that island.
009, Domino speaking. Commence operation!
Mewtwo, I know that the Pokémon here are not your only companions.
Can you really bring yourself to abandon your other companions back there?
You vile fiend...
What’s with this?!
Humans are not our targets...
But since you’ve seen this place, we’ll make an exception.
I’m afraid we can’t let you go.
What?!
Say...
Hmm?
How much worse than usual did you say today was?
Beats me. It’s just been one long chain of feeling awful.
It’s all so awful we never even said that, did we?
Well, let’s make up for lost time...
We’re down one member, but we’ll have to make do.
Ready, set...
What an awful feeling!
Tensions have reached a breaking point at Pure’s Rock.
Our story is still to be continued.
My, how cute!
Don’t touch the Pokémon!
What’d you do that for?!
I’m no Pokémon Trainer. Don’t expect me to show them mercy.
Don’t let even a single one get away!
After we’re done using them to lure Mewtwo out,
they’ll just be fodder for experiments, so don’t even bother using Monster Balls.
Oh my, there’s more rare Pokémon in here.
You callin’ us Pokémon?!
Oh, pardon me. I didn’t recognize you.
Still, imagine finding morons in Rocket Gang...
That might even be rarer than a Mythical Pokémon.
You little...!
We have taken full control of the island.
Aside from the Pokémon brought here by a boy named “Satoshi,”
all the Pokémon on the island are copies.
I have all your friends hostage.
Mewtwo, whether they live or die depends on you.
I will go rescue my companions!
They’re all saying they’ll go, meow.
I get it. You want to head back too, meow. And you?
Me, too!
I can tell this guy’s no ordinary alley-Nyarth, meow.
But don’t tell Sakaki about this, meow.
We will live whichever way we see fit!
My companions... Let us return to the island.
009.
009 speaking.
Mewtwo is headed your way.
Roger.
I’ve been expecting you. This Nidoqueen is so cute, isn’t she?
Return my companion at once.
Here’s the man who’ll give you our demands.
Mewtwo, if you want to save your companions, you will devote your life to me.
Given that as my only option,
I would rather die.
If you refuse to cooperate with us,
then all of your companions will be dissected and used for research. They will die.
Step back, all of you. I am what he wants.
This light is not for subduing you.
It will control your mind,
and change your heart so that you obey our every command.
It will change my heart?
No point destroying it, either.
We can make as many as we need.
But any show of resistance, and your friends will pay the price!
Stop this! That is enough!
Step into the light, then.
They’re all saying he shouldn’t go...
But he’s going anyway, meow.
How’s that? Now you belong to me.
You may take my body,
but you will never take my heart!
We shall see.
I will never...
...give up!
Which will hold out longer: your will or my machine?
Only time will tell.
This is a nice place.
It’s certainly a hideout worthy of Mewtwo’s attention.
I think I will turn it into my secret base.
Then I will create the world’s strongest Pokémon army.
Mewtwo. You will lead the charge, as my pawn.
I look forward to that day.
Pikachu!
Pikachu! You got caught, too? What in the world happened to you?
Ms. Luna, take the sample of the spring water I collected.
Right!
Here, drink this.
Pikachu!
This water truly is amazing.
It really could be a miracle cure for all sorts of living beings!
What’re you dawdling around for? This isn’t your final destination, you know.
Domino!
Come on! Let us out!
You will never see the light of day again.
Construction of the secret base is proceeding well.
We’ve had no problems whatsoever.
How is Mewtwo?
Stubborn... There’s not even the slightest hint of disruption in its brain waves.
If this keeps up, its body will start to weaken.
If it dies, then won’t all this be pointless?
I don’t care! This is a battle of wills between Mewtwo and me!
Well, don’t take it out on me!
Hey, you two! Mind mopping faster?
And don’t forget to change the water in the bucket. Understood?
What an awful feeling...
What’s happened to everyone?
They’re coming, they’re coming. They’re all mad.
Who’s coming?
The Bug Pokémon. They’re all really mad.
They’re saying they won’t forgive those who sullied their precious lake.
What is it?
What’s going on?!
Wh-What the...?
What’s going on?
Look!
All right! We can escape!
Let’s go, guys!
Ms. Luna, I’m going this way!
Why?
I’m worried about the water.
Then I’ll come with you!
Rapid Fire!
I’m Rocket Gang Agent 009, Black Tulip! Don’t mess with me!
It’s slippery, so do watch out.
No!
Oh, my. The water in that bucket might be much too clean for your face!
What a pity.
What a relief. The water is fine.
Right.
You are safe?
But I can’t...
Mewtwo...
My name?
We heard about you from Nyarth.
He also told us you rescued my Pikachu.
We have to do something to repay you.
This light...
Isn’t there a switch anywhere?
Doesn’t look like it.
Fine! I’ll tackle it, then!
I’ll help!
Charge!
It didn’t work!
Never mind.
I will muster up the last of my strength.
Will I be destroyed, or will the machine?
This decides it once and for all!
Hang in there, Mewtwo!
Keep going!
Pikachu, use 100,000 Volts!
Are you okay, Mewtwo?
I have exceeded my limit... There is no hope for me...
The water! They’re saying we need the water, meow!
I see! The water that healed Pikachu.
All right. Let’s go!
I cannot allow that.
Mewtwo belongs to me.
If it can’t be mine, I’ll dispose of it.
We won’t let you do that!
You can’t have him!
Oh, no! It’s Sakaki!
If he sees us here loitering around, he’ll...
You guys got out, meow?!
Nyarth!
Forget that, let’s hide!
Satoshi, hurry!
I know.
Get them!
What?!
Hmph. So they resist us still?
They leave me with no choice. We will crush them all!
Thanks, guys.
Why? Why do you try to rescue me?
You rescued Pikachu. I’m just returning the favor.
Is that all?
Do I need more reason?
Perhaps you are a strange human.
You must be a unique trainer.
You’re a pretty unique Pokémon yourself.
Even to this day...
...I still cannot see who I really am.
Satoshi!
Who is that Pokémon?
He needs the power of the spring.
But drinking some won’t be enough to save him.
Wait! This spring is rich with vital nutrients!
We could use it to create lifesaving medicine for everyone!
All I care about right now...
...is saving him! Saving his life!
Where am I?
I have seen this before... This place...
But that was surely a dream.
What?
My powers are returning to me.
Mew?
This spring is...
Restoring me to how I was.
If it does the same to other living beings...
Who am I?
At the least...
I know... I have the right to live on this planet!
What’s that?
Where is Mewtwo?
Stop it! You’ll destroy the spring!
I don’t care. This place belongs to me.
This place does not belong to anyone. Nor do I belong to you.
I will not let you hurt anyone!
What?
What’s that?
What’s going on, meow?
Every fragment of my power...
Come forth, now!
Every fragment of my power...
Be unleashed, now!
What in the world just happened? Mewtwo, where are you?
What happened to the water?
This is all that’s left.
Thank you! As long as I have this, I can restart my research!
Right... But what happened to all the other Pokémon?
Where are we?
Beneath Pure’s Rock. I transported the lake, the spring, and everyone down here.
Wow, I didn’t know you had that kinda power.
But it’s for the best that everyone forgets about this.
I will erase everyone’s memories and leave this place.
Erase our memories?
You can’t do that, meow!
Hey, Nyarth!
What’re you thinking?!
It’s not my message! It’s what everyone’s asking me to say!
These kids’ mom and dad are pleading, too. Take them as an example, meow.
One day, someone will ask these kids who their parents are.
And you expect them to just say they forgot, meow?!
Their parents might have been created as copies,
but now they’re living creatures who have created lives of their own.
They’re all living beings.
Even him and me, too!
I don’t wanna forget this, either.
Forgetting isn’t the solution to every problem.
At some point, you’re gonna wonder about what you forgot.
I’ll admit...
Whether copies or originals...
There is no benefit in forgetting who you are.
You all have the right to live wherever you desire on this planet.
Everyone...
Head out into the vast world.
Spread your wings.
And what I will do...
...is erase the memories of only those who sought to harm us and this spring.
Now... Forget everything.
Why are our agents assembled at the launch pad?
Weren’t we here on a secret mission?
Secret? What secret?
If this really is a secret mission, we’re too conspicuous gathered here.
Yes. We should promptly retreat.
But... What was our mission supposed to be?
The time for departure has come.
Tonight is a full moon. Ideal for flying, meow!
This is farewell. We may never meet again.
But I sure hope we do.
If ever you hear a voice call your name somewhere,
glance back and look.
Perhaps...
...you may find me there.
Hello! The biweekly bus has arrived! Huh?
Only one passenger today?
I’m not getting on. I’m relocating here for research.
I am...
I am here.
What is it?
I’m not sure, but I just got the feeling someone was there...
Yeah. It was probably...
Mewtwo.
Afterwards, that city would become home to an urban legend...
...about a mysterious Pokémon living somewhere in the city.
But nobody would ever discover the truth behind this legend.
