Mewtwo, who is newborn, opens his eyes in a laboratory, finding a dozen people in white clothes. They are scientists, who have given a birth to him, by genetically processing cells of Mew, the rarest monster on the earth, to create the strongest monster, able to speak a human language. Mewtwo's birth is not natural, but artificial. He recognizes that, and is confused, and destroys the laboratory. Sakaki(Giovanni), the boss of the Rocket gang, takes him and makes him help with them capturing monsters. The mystery of his life is always on his mind, and he destroys the base of the gang, too, to be alone.
Overlooking the sea in a grassland on a cliff, Satoshi(Ash) waits Takeshi's(Brock) stew ready at a table. Kasumi(Misty) helps Takeshi. Pikachu finds Togepi totter to the edge of the cliff, and panicked, rushes to help him. Togepi stops an inch from the edge, while Pikachu drops from it. The cliff is not deep at the side, to Pikachu's relief. Togepi chuckles to see him crawl up. A man challenges Satoshi. Satoshi stands up, and sends Bulbsaur, Squirtle and Pikachu out, and wins. Then a invitation card he receives, the message told by a beautiful woman in holography. The sender is unknown, who is just introduced as the strongest Pokemon trainer, and is to have a Pokemon League Challange in the Pokemon castle in New Island. Satoshi decides to accept the invitation.
A storm with outrages waves of the sea, so that it is impossible to launch a ship, as his party arrives at a port. They learn that there are many other trainers who were invited by the stranger, and that a female doctor of a Pokemon center is missing. Trainers try the raged sea, with the help of their monsters that can move in the water or fly. Anyone of Satoshi's party doesn't own those types of monster, and they don't know what to do. But a boat appears, and the two sailors offer a ride. Relieved, Satoshi accespts it. (He doesn't note Meowth at the head of the boat.) Satoshi is in high sprits in the boat, while Pikachu is scared of pitching. As a huge wave assaults it, the helmets which the sailors wore low over their eyes were swept away, revealing their faces. They are the couple of the Rocket gang, Musashi (Jesse) and Kojiro(James). Satoshi is astonished. At that time another wave comes, and they are all thrown out of the boat into the water. Kasumi sends Starmie, while Satoshi sends Squirtle. Satoshi and his friends hug both of them, letting themselves totally in the stream.
Then they finally reach New Island that they were invited to. So do the Rocket gang a moment later. They find only three trainers they find there; Sweet, Sorao, and Umio. The woman who appeared in the invitation card tells them to send their monsters from balls, and they obey her. They are astonished when the host appears; he is Mewtwo, the monster who is unknown to them yet. It is out of question that a monster is a trainer, which outrages trainers there. The woman's condition suddenly changes, and she collapses. Takeshi raises her in his arms, finding her a femal doctor who they learned is missing. Trainers send some of their monsters to fight Mewtwo, but he beats them easily. Then he takes the trainers and monsters to a league field he made. The gang steals into the building in the castle, and happen to enter a laboratory. They find many huge tubes there; some of them have monsters inside of them. As they wonder what is done there, Meowth is captured by a belt conveyer. He struggles to escape, while magic arms pulls his three hairs out. Meowth manages to escape, seeing the computer beside the conveyer starts to work, and a copy of him is formed in a tube. Mewtwo, highly inteligent, studies there and successfully creats copies of Pokemon, that are stronger than the original. And they are not just copies; They have lives. Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise come out of tubes, then go to the league field, called by Mewtwo by telepathy. Mewtwo knows that Sorao owns Venusaur, Sweet owns Blastoise, and Satoshi owns Charizard. He is making copies that are superior to the originals. It is his revenge for human beings who have given a birth to him, making use of him. And the copies are strong. They conquer the originals easily, disappointing the invited trainers. Mewtwo's revenge doesn't finish. Weird pokeballs he created fly across the field, each aiming at original monsters there. Mewtwo's balls capture them one after another, now leaving Pikachu. A dozen balls are sent to him. He runs, shooting electric beams. Satoshi is irreated to be near him to help him. Finally, Pikachu is captured by a ball. Panicked, he runs after it, but it flies away. The gang is in the labratory, and Mewtwo's balls, which include the trainers' monsters, are carried on the belt conveyer. As a magic hand takes one, the computer analyzes the gene, and creats the copy. Pikachu's ball arrives, and Satoshi follows. Those hands are stretching towards it-- Satoshi seizes it tight in both his hands, as the hands reach it, too. Satoshi pulls, with all his might, and some magic hands grabbed him, too. Satoshi gives another strong pull. Magic hands which are on the ball and him are torn, sparking. The computer also breaks, and Mewtwo's balls spits monsters out. Pikachu is saved, and Saotshi holds him tightly in his arms. Copies are summoned by Mewtwo and go to the league field. Satoshi and Pikachu follow them with originals. Then they see a small, white monster there. It is Mew. Mewtwo shakes his whole body with mixed feelings of dread and delight, and that he would finaly fight his original to prove HE is superior. As they fight, monsters also battle with their copies hand-to-hand. The doctor says sadly, watching them fight, "They are copies, which have been created artificially, yet have lives, which are valuable equal to originals'." Pikachu's copy appears, too. He glares at original Pikachu, and beats him hard. Pikachu doesn't resist, Pikachu is hit by the copy's blow, and thrown-- Monsters, both originals and copies, fight, collapse, and fight... Only Pikachu doesn't fight, though harshly beated by his copy. The copy shouts at him, "pika, pikachu! (Fight me!)" Pikachu shakes his head, refusing to counter. Tears well up to the copy's eyes, but he cannot stop himself while Mew fights Mewtwo. Crying, the copy continues to beat Pikachu. Finally the copy is exhausted and collapses. Pikachu takes to hold him tenderly. Satoshi cannot stand to see them battle any longer. He dashes toward the spot where Mew and Mewtwo fight, crying, "Don't! Don't fight any longer!" Two monsters shoot sparks then, and they hit Satoshi. Screaming, he collapses to the ground. Monsters, including Mew and Mewtwo, freeze and just watch him. "Pikapi!" Pikachu goes close to him, looking into his face. His body starts to stiff, and got rocky in a moment right before Pikachu's eyes. Pikachu wonders at first what is going on, seeing his friend not moving, and shoots an electric beam at him, as he does instictively for fainted creatures. But Satoshi is still. Pikachu tries once more, then over and over. While he is too tired to shoot a beam anymore, Satoshi doesn't recover. Tears well up to Pikachu's eyes, roll down his cheeks, and drop to the ground, quickly filtered into the soil. Other original and copy monsters begin to weep. Their tears wet the ground, and are conveyed to Satoshi through the soil. His body softens slowly, and he recovers finally. Pikachu hugs him, and Satoshi hugs back. Mewtwo calls copy monsters by telepathy, and they float up. He can now believe in his life, which is valuable, and is leaving to look for the place they can live. Satoshi, Pikachu, their party and other people and monsters see them flying away, now feeling for them. When Satoshi is aware, he is at the port with his friends. Other trainers are there, too. Now one remembers what happened in the island. The storm is over a moment later, and the sea recovers it's peace, its surface brightening in the sunlight.
Pikachu's Vacation
On one summer day, Pikachu and the other Pokémon owned by Ash and his friends comes to Pokémon Land, a park only for Pokémon to spend their holiday. They are all joyful. However, after a while of their coming through the gate, Togepi starts to cry. He is now a baby, and hungry. Startled, yet wanting him to stop crying, Pikachu pulls his cheeks to make a funny face. Squirtle also tries, though in vain. Bulbsaur finds an apple ripe on a branch of a tree, and shoots leaves to cut it off. The fruit drops, and rolls to stop right before Psyduck. He takes it, and then, to Pikachu's surprise, eats it. Togepi weeps, his cry keener, until he falls asleep. Pikachu is relieved, but Raichu, Cubone, Mariru, and Bruno, pass near them, chatting loudly. Squirtle asks the group to be quiet, making them angry. As Bulbasaur joins, two groups glares at each other, ready to fight. Pikachu tries hard to soothe them.
Togepi totters to a river valley, and onto a log over it. Pikachu turns pale, and follows onto it, crying, "Pipipi (means 'Togepi')." The log moves suddenly. Pikachu is startled, while Togepi is pleased. It rolls down the valley in a high speed, throwing Pikachu into the river. He looks around quickly for Togepi, finding him at a side of the valley. He sighs, relieved.
As he is back, carrying Togepi on his back, he gives another sigh to have seen the two groups still quarrel. They decide to have Squirtle and Mariru have a swimming match. Obstructed by some of other Pokémon, both swim with great guts, and Maril wins. But their fight doesn't finish, for they are not satisfied yet. Raichu's electric sparks sparkle, hitting the ground near Togepi. Pikachu dashes near him, shielding him. A spark hits Pikachu. He stiffens his body, shocked. Raichu and other Pokémon of his group laugh.
Pikachu looks back, his eyes lifted, and burning with rage. He goes close to Raichu, glaring at him. Raichu stares back. A tense hash is between them for all of a minute...
They dash out suddenly. They run and run and run, down paths, through a river, crashing against Pokémon on their way; Meowth, who sleep on a grassland, and Charizard. Charizard flares up, and dashes after them, but two naughty boys don't care. Charizard fails to capture them, as his head is pushed into a small hole.
Puzzlement are in minds of Pokémon, except for Raichu's group, including Charizard. The hole is too small for his head, and he cannot pull it out no matter how many times he tries to pull back. Pokémon tie his legs tight with the end of a long and thick rope, grips it and pulls it with all their mights. They try over and over, but Charizard's head is still in the hole. Tears fills his eyes, as he is scared.
Raichu and his group watch them, keeping a short distance. Pikachu goes near them, and asks, "pika, pika pika chu. Pikachu. (Help us. Please)" They agree with him, and go take the rope, except for Cubone. They try harder, and Charizard's head is almost out, yet still in. Tears roll down his cheeks. Cubone's hands grip at the point an inch before Pikachu's on the rope. Pikachu is delighted. They try once more, much harder. Finally, Charizard is pulled back, his head out the hole.
The Two groups are now friends. They repair places which have been destroyed by their fight, and play together the rest of the day. In the evening, Ash and his friends come to take Pikachu. As he calls Pikachu, a big smile is on Pikachu's face. "Pikapi! (Ash)" Pikachu runs straight into his arms.
