Talk:Giovanni's Persian

2012-06-03T22:15:50Z

Nekusagi: /* Intro */

== Gender ==

With the recent tweet on the Pokemon Radio Twitter ("Good boy, Persian") confirming Persian's gender as male, should we fill in the box with male and change the pronouns?

[[User:Nekusagi|Nekusagi]] 22:15, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Giovanni ==

According to [http://pokebeach.com/manga/himeno/the-injured-persian/ this manga] ([[How I Became a Pokémon Card]] by [[Kagemaru Himeno]]) Giovanni have got his Persian since he was a child. --[[User:Valepert|Valepert]] 18:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

:That's merely one canon's take on the Persian's backstory. That manga is based on the TCG, so odds are anime canon can and probably does differ in this instance. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

== The Trivia ==

I don't think the trivia "Giovanni's Persian and James' Mime Jr. are never used in battle" is true. While it is true that you've never seen Giovanni's Persian used in battle, James' Mime Jr. was used in a battle against [[Francesca]]'s {{p|Chingling}} in [[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]. I am going to delete that, now. [[User:ShinjiLover|ShinjiLover]] 04:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Shiny Persian... or not? ==

I just decided to watch the older episodes since I missed out on it (including the last few of season 1, since our cable company decided to turn that channel from basic cable to a specific cable package, which we never bothered to get; we never got the channel locally). In episode "84 (A Scare in the Air)" in season 2/Orange League, it doesn't seem like Persian is really a shiny. I am a huge Persian fan personally, and I'm all for the shiny theory, but in this episode, the ears honestly look more tannish than pinkish. Can someone else verify this with maybe a few different episodes where Giovanni's Persian is shown? It has a slight pinkish look, but honestly, tan can look pinkish in some cases. I don't want to edit the article without more proof or anything. I mean, older episodes can tend to have crappier quality, so this is why I want to make sure on this... I don't want to feel like an idiot without getting more proof for it. [[User:Espeonage64|Espeonage64]]

Nekusagi: /* State the proof */

== State the proof ==
''She has no Pokémon. However, she hardly needs them. She is an excellent fighter and her choice of weapon is an electrically-charged 'tulip'. She demonstrates an excellent sense of balance and advanced gymnastic skills.''

She has no known Pokémon, it doesn't mean she has none. [[user:Simpsonsdude13| SD13 Simpsondude13>''']][[user talk:Simpsonsdude13|SD13 Talk]] 15:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:Sounds like alot of fan-made crap to me. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 15:16, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

The stuff about her "close relationship" with Giovanni seems way too close to biasing the article on the side of commandshipping, to me. "Not too many agents could get away with that" is opinion and not established canon. Mentioning the phone calls and important mission stuff is fine, but please, let's keep this shipping neutral. - Nekusagi

== Trivia? ==
Isn't the staff trying to get rid of trivia? On the bit about her Black Tulip nickname... I think that has to do more with the fact she uses a BLACK TULIP as her weapon, not because of the Dumas novel.

Also, I sorta doubt 009 was a reference of any kind to James Bond, as secret agents have numerical nicknames all the time.

===Quotes===
====First battle====
Before the battle: 
Darach: ''Welcome. I am Darach, as you know, and I am the Castle Valet. Lady Caitlin, my employer, is not one to accept defeat willingly. However, for a reason I'm not at liberty to disclose, she cannot battle. Consequently, I will do battle in her ladyship's place. ...Let me assure you that you won't be shortchanged by facing me. En garde!

After the battle: 
Darach: ''My Pokémon could not be faulted in any way or form. My hat's off to you.''

Darach: ''<player>, you are truly in possession of a superlative talent! I drew on every reserve of experience and etiquette handed down through our eritage of glorious servitude. But even then, I failed To fend off your inspired and inspiring challenge. I shall see to appeasing Lady Caitlin's displeasure at my loss. <player>, please do return to our Battle Castle. We will be delighted and honored to have you back!''

Caitlin: ''... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!''

Darach: ''<player>, good show. A hard-fought win, yes? Lady Caitlin has instructed me to award you {{tt|x|x being any number between 1 and 30, depending on how well the player battles}} CP.''

Darach: ''Congratulations on clearing seven consecutive battles. For your valiant effort, <player>, please accept this BP. We'll return any items that we were holding for you.''

====Second battle====
Before the battle: 
Darach: ''Your mastery of Pokémon is as breathtaking as ever. <player>, you certainly are to be commended. ...However, if I may say so, I noticed something about the way you battle. After all, I have the opportunity to watch you closely firsthand. So, what is it that I noticed? As a Trainer myself, it is but proper etiquette to show you in a battle. Let us begin! En garde!''

After the battle: 
Darach: ''Your skills are superlative as ever! My admiration knows no bounds.''

Darach: ''I am humbled... What I'd perceived to be a weakness was only illusory... Or, perhaps you corrected it in the course of our battle. Regardless, your performance was stunning again. Though she cannot say it, Lady Caitlin appears quite taken by your style. For her sake at the very least, please do return to our Battle Castle!''

Caitlin: ''... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!''

Darach: ''<player>, good show. A hard-fought win, yes? Lady Caitlin has instructed me to award you {{tt|x|x being any number between 1 and 30, depending on how well the player battles}} CP.''

Darach: ''Congratulations on clearing seven consecutive battles. For your valiant effort, <player>, please accept this BP. We'll return any items that we were holding for you.''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special manga===
Darach and Lady Caitlin appeared in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier arc of the [[Pokémon Special]]. It's also indicated that they will be {{special|Platinum}}'s first challenge.

==Trivia==
* It could be assumed that Darach is the true Frontier Brain of the Battle Castle, due to Caitlin's place on a throne, her portraits in the castle, her appearing behind Darach and the term "Castle Valet". He is also the only one battled among them. Therefore, Caitlin may be acting as a mistress and watching the battle from the throne. It is also possible that Caitlin is the Frontier Brain and just has Darach battle for her with her Pokémon. In the games, the latter seems true, but in Pokémon Special, it seems to be the former.
* Despite their in-game sprite showing them both together, they do not participate in a [[double battle]]. This situation is much like the [[Twins]] of the [[Generation II]] games, and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in {{game|Yellow}}.
* If Caitlin is a Frontier Brain, she is the only one among them to share her name with other trainers that can be battled in the game.
*Caitlin dresses in the Japanese ''himegyaru'' ("princess gal") style.

[[File:Marilyn.png|right|thumb|250px|Marilyn]]
(Japanese: '''マリリン''' ''Marilyn'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in [[DP125]]. She is voiced by 後藤麻衣 ''Mai Goto'' in Japanese.

Marilyn is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who believes only [[Pokémon]] she finds to be cute are worthwhile.

After seeing [[Dawn's Buneary]], she fawns over how cute it is (dismissing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} as not cute enough), and challenges Dawn to a battle. During the battle, she orders her Cherubi not to attack, in order to stall and keep the battling going so she could admire Buneary for as long as possible. [[Brock]] gets irritated by Marilyn's superficial attitude towards Pokémon, and decides to teach her about the inner strength and beauty of Pokémon with a battle.

'''Hun''' (Japanese: '''バショウ''' ''Bashō'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]]. He appeared along with his partner, [[Attila]], in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' His Japanese voice actor is 森川智之 ''[[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]'' and his English voice actress is [[Veronica Taylor]]. Internationally, he is played by [[Cláudia Carli]] in Brazilian Portuguese.

Like the other Rocket duos, his and his partner's names together form the name of a famous historical villain: in this case, {{wp|Attila the Hun}}.

==Personality==
Hun and Attila both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to be able to keep their cool even when they lose; even in these situations, they calmly retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object or show any signs of aggravation over this role.

==Relations to other members==
[[Image:Bashou5Fbuson.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Attila]] and Hun]]
Attila has no recorded history with his partner Hun though, while the dub states that they are new partners, their body language and the familiarity of the behavior towards each other shows that they do have ''some'' history together.

The pair takes mission orders from [[Professor Sebastian]], but it is implied in the original that they have never met him before ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. Still, in the dub, he seems to have some kind of friendship with the professor.

==Arsenal and abilities==
====Robotic====
In addition to the Crystal System, Attila and Hun control a small shuttlecraft, a helicopter, and a {{wp|mech}} with a peculiar manner of walking. Some call it the "Chicken Walker", (a name given to bipedal mechs, most notably given to the {{wp|AT-ST}} of {{wp|Star Wars}} fame) but there is nothing really to suggest that this is the official name.

==Trivia==
* The origin of his Japanese name is {{wp|Matsuo Basho}}, considered one of the greatest {{wp|haiku}} poets in history. As both he and {{wp|Yosa Buson}} flourished during the {{wp|Edo period|Edo}} and {{wp|Tokugawa period}}s, some have suspected that both were also {{wp|ninja}} employed by the administration. This may be a reason why these names were chosen for Attila (whose Japanese name is Buson) and Hun.

* Both Attila and Hun can be seen from behind at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', during the narrator's introduction to the world of Pokémon. They are in the holding area with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===Issue regarding gender===
Hun was male in the original Japanese version. However, his gender was controversially changed to female in the English dubbed version. Closer analysis showed that Hun was never referred to as a female (but he has long hair and bangs, a feminine hairstyle in some countries). The only pronouns are those used collectively with Attila, such as "those men" or "those guys". So, Hun may just be a male with a female voice. As such, Hun will be referred to as a male for '''this''' article. In the Brazilian version, however, Hun was referred to as {{tt|ela|she}} and {{tt|dela|her}}. Likewise, in the European Portuguese he is named ''Ana'', which is a name that usually is given to woman.

Nekusagi: /* Placement of Ranger info? */

Why is he under his English name when no one calls him that? And holy crap, Morikawa did his voice? HOLY CRAP! --BJG
:I call him that. And it would go against the style of the other articles to have him at [[Bashou]]. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:02, 27 October 2005 (CDT)
::In some scenes of the dub, Attila calls him "Hun". That's true, take a look'''[[User:Haruka uzumaki|うずまき]][[User talk:Haruka uzumaki|ハルカ]]''' 19:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC).

== Page Update ==

Shouldn't we make the box with Steelix's Gen IV sprite like we have for most other characters?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 20:39, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

== Male??? ==

SHE'S A HE!!!

Team Rocket are always boy and a girl it said so in the episode of Chronicles.
She's has a girls voice...
she looks like a girl!!!

[[User:Sailor Earth|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Sailor Earth| of]][[User talk:Sailor Earth| Earth]] 13:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:Read the gender section of the article. Hun is male in the Japanese version and just given a female voice for some reason in the dub. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 13:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

::That whole "each Team Rocket pair is one male and one female" bit is a bunch of baloney. [[Annie]] and [[Oakley]] are a two-female Team Rocket pair, hence that bit was proven false even before Chronicles started. Besides, we didn't see ALL of [[Jessie]]'s previous partners from [[H012|Training Daze]], we can't assume every single one of them was male, or that all of [[James]]'s previous partners (if any) were female.

::Furthermore, there's no evidence that 4Kids actually changed his gender for the dub (unlike some others we know of from [[Generation III]]). If you listen to all of [[H001|The Legend of Thunder]] and look for a telltale sign of a gender swap, there is none. Nowhere in the entire special does Hun ever get referred to as a female. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== Ana? ==

In European Portuguese Hun was named Ana? What was Attila's name, then? (Just out of curiousity) --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==Placement of Ranger info?==

I noticed there was no mention of Sebastian's cameo in Movie 9 on his page, so I added it to his character summary. However, on Attila and Hun it mentions it in the Trivia section. I'm confused. - --[[User:Nekusagi|Nekusagi]] 18:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Nekusagi

'''Professor Sebastian''' (Japanese: '''シラヌイ博士''' ''Dr. Shiranui'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]] who has appeared in several episodes of the {{g|anime}}. His Japanese voice actor is ''Hidetoshi Nakamura'' and his English voice actor is [[Eric Stuart]].

He appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', and later on in the main series during ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]''. He also appears briefly in the the World of Pokemon scene in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

==Personality==
Every occasion he is seen by the viewer, he remains calm and talks with a steady even tone. As he is only seen in moments of scientific importance and victory, it cannot be said if this demeanor carries over to every situation, or if this behavior has been modulated to the scientific environment and all business that stems from there on in.

==History==
Some within [[fanon]] speculate that he might be the most powerful Rocket scientist. Not taking in other issues, one can say that he has spent an impressive amount of time working for the group.

==Relationships with other members==
He works with [[Tyson (Team Rocket)|Tyson]] and gives commands to [[Hun]] and [[Attila]]. Tyson seems to hold at least his scientific mind in great regard. As Hun, Attila, and Tyson are of the same rank, Sebastian might work with agents of their rank often.

==Arsenal and abilities==
He is in charge of a sizable crew of scientists, and they seem to work on a variety of things. He is known for the creation of the crystal system that traps {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon with their own power and a beam that forces Pokémon to evolve.

==Trivia==
* The origin of his Japanese name is probably after the sword style [[wp:Shiranui-ryu|Shiranui-ryu]]. Humorously, [[Jessie]] refers to him as "pointy" when she meets him.

'''Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャーと{{tt|蒼海|うみ}}の{{tt|王子|おうじ}} マナフィ''' ''Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy''; Official: The Pokémon Ranger and The Prince of the Sea) is the fourth and final Pokémon Advanced Generation movie, and ninth of all Pokémon movies. The movie debuted in Japanese cinemas on July 15, 2006 and made its United States debut on [[Cartoon Network]] on March 23, 2007. As indicated by the title, elements from the game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} play a large part. May also has a large role in the movie's story, though she controversially has little effect on the climax. In Latin America, it aired on January 16, 2009 being the second {{series2|Advanced Generation}} movie officially dubbed there and debuted on a Pokémon Weekend Special.

==Plot==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (plot summary)}}
The group meet a group of water performers and a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} who are guarding a mysterious egg. When a {{p|Manaphy}} hatches in May's arms, she becomes its mother and the group help deliver the Seafaring Pokémon to an underwater temple. However, an evil pirate is after Manaphy and the treasure the temple contains.

==Manga Adaption==

[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)]]
 

== Trivia ==
* This movie premiered in Japan between the episodes ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'' and ''[[AG184|Strategy Tomorrow - Comedy Tonight!]]''.
*[[Professor Sebastian]], [[Attila]], and [[Hun]] make a cameo during The World of Pokémon scene, with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* Yuyama Kunihiko traveled to {{wp|Italy}} to visit the ruins of {{wp|Rome}}, the city of {{wp|Naples}} and the island of {{wp|Capri}} to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The Korean dub of the movie premiered on July 20, 2006, only 5 days after the Japanese premiere.
* The title card animation sequence begins with a depiction of the [[wp:Hexagonal lattice|hexagonal crystal lattice]] of [[wp:Ice Ih|ice]], however, the orientation of some water molecules is wrong: there should only be one hydrogen atom on every edge and one oxygen atom at every vertex.
* An ''{{wp|a capella}}'' version of ''[[Spurt!]]'' is played as the background music in the scenes where Jackie explained why he protects Pokémon and when Ash and May are swimming with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Buizel}}.
* This was the first Pokémon movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA.
* In the dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth says "That sounds like a good name for a game!". When they get mentioned second time, he says "Let's get through this season." Obviously he is referencing the games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|next season]].
* In the first Diamond and Pearl mention, the English DVD subtitles during that part say "gang" instead of "game".
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Gold}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his styler, which is most likely a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his hat backwards for the first time in several seasons.
*The movie aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, along with ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD, which still has yet to happen.
*Teaser scenes that were used in the movie trailer shown at the end of the Japanese version of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie; such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, and a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, as well as a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
*In a sneak peek of the movie on a [[Pokémon Sunday]] Segment, Ash made a reference to ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. When he first meets Jack Walker in the preview, he says {{tt|セレビィに負けないくらい森とポケモンを愛してる人だったな～|It's the person who took care of the Celebi in the dark forest}}.
* This movie shares many similarities with ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These include {{an|May}}'s relationship with {{an|Manaphy}} when compared to [[Max]]'s relationship with {{an|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Kyogre}} appearing in this movie while {{p|Groudon}} appeared in Wish Maker.
* The dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of this movie not to use the "Pokémon" logo despite the title has the word "Pokémon". Even though fourth and fifth movie did use the logo, the colours were blue instead.

===Errors===
* When a bird's eye view of the young Jackie surrounded by Pokémon was shown, the long feathers on the Altaria's heads were white instead of the normal blue.
* When Ash releases his Pokémon to play with Manaphy, he has six Poké Balls in his hands. Though at the time he had six Pokémon with him ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Donphan}}, and {{AP|Aipom}}), Pikachu is never inside its Poké Ball.

Professor Sebastian

Nekusagi: Why was the Movie 9 cameo not mentioned? It's mentioned on the page for the movie...

'''Professor Sebastian''' (Japanese: '''シラヌイ博士''' ''Dr. Shiranui'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]] who has appeared in several episodes of the {{g|anime}}. His Japanese voice actor is ''Hidetoshi Nakamura'' and his English voice actor is [[Eric Stuart]].

He appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', and later on in the main series during ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]''. He also appears briefly in the the prologue to [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]].

==Personality==
Every occasion he is seen by the viewer, he remains calm and talks with a steady even tone. As he is only seen in moments of scientific importance and victory, it cannot be said if this demeanor carries over to every situation, or if this behavior has been modulated to the scientific environment and all business that stems from there on in.

==History==
Some within [[fanon]] speculate that he might be the most powerful Rocket scientist. Not taking in other issues, one can say that he has spent an impressive amount of time working for the group.

==Relationships with other members==
He works with [[Tyson (Team Rocket)|Tyson]] and gives commands to [[Hun]] and [[Attila]]. Tyson seems to hold at least his scientific mind in great regard. As Hun, Attila, and Tyson are of the same rank, Sebastian might work with agents of their rank often.

==Arsenal and abilities==
He is in charge of a sizable crew of scientists, and they seem to work on a variety of things. He is known for the creation of the crystal system that traps {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon with their own power and a beam that forces Pokémon to evolve.

==Trivia==
* The origin of his Japanese name is probably after the sword style [[wp:Shiranui-ryu|Shiranui-ryu]]. Humorously, [[Jessie]] refers to him as "pointy" when she meets him.

Talk:Cynthia

2009-01-16T00:08:53Z

Nekusagi:

==If Ash and co. met Lucian...==
If Ash and co. met [[Lucian]], it was likely they'll meet Cynthia later in the anime. And I was right, because Cynthia is scheduled to make her first anime appearance in [[DP040]]!

User FREAKAZOID

== Garchomps gender? ==

based on gender differences, what gender is her garchomp? --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 02:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:Female. All of Cynthia's Pokémon are female EXCEPT for her Lucario. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 05:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
::I think they mean in the anime...? --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 05:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Its still a female. No groove in the fin. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 06:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

== Quotes ==

In the quotes section, it says:

Before battle: 
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

What do they mean, "OR"? Doesn't she always say the same thing? --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|Contribs]][[Image:Ani164MS.gif]] 21:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I think that she says the Mt.Coronet thing only when the player didn't beat the Elite Four yet.She doesn't say that to me!

I always figured that in order to challenge the elite four you had to win the league tournament. We may never know [[User:TheAlmightyChris|TheAlmightyChris]] 11:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

== lucario ==

Does anybody else think those things in her hair look like the thing on lucario's head.I think this could mean that lucario is her main pokémon in the games (and possibly anime but not sure) [[User:Darkmaster0]]
:I always thought the things in her hair resembled a {{p|Garchomp}}....--'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 11:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
::It does look more like {{p|Lucario}}'s hair-type-thing, but her Garchomp is her strongest pokémon and they ,usually, are the trainer's signature pokémon. Phocks.

== Chi ==

Chi and Fei are identical twins and Chi is the main chatterer, so way dos she look like Fei and not Chi? [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 12:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:What in the name of Hans Christian Anderson do you mean? '''[[User:Optimus35|It's the <sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''13:05 18 Jun 2008'''''
::Probably another "character similarity" thing. God, I'm sick of them. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:::...''who'' is Fei? The twins' names are Erda (Chi) and Freya (black Chi).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 16:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the mix up in the name. Thay still look the same and I don't get it? [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 00:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

:Is the statement even necessary? The accompanying link doesn't even have a picture and I've never even heard of the character. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 00:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

:::I agree. It's like "Oooh! One anime character looks like another! We should put that in!!" It's not all that notable. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 13:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I think this one is notable if any of them are. The have the same eyes, the same face. Clair even has hair things that look like Chi's ear's. If you ask me this one is intentional [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 14:41, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:I assume we're referring to Chobits here. Anyway, I did think Cynthia looked a bit like a Persicom on first impression, and her very long hair and black clothes are reminiscent of Freya, but I wouldn't say this is particularly relevant to Bulbapedia. [[User:Punkrockrevel|Punkrockrevel]] 16:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Dream Rayquaza (Please don't ignore this) ==

If we include her Rayquaza, shouldn't we include the Piplup, Chimchar, and Turtwig from {{an|Dawn}}'s [[DP001]] dream? If you agree with me, please make the table, cuz remember, I don't know how!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 20:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

:That was more of Dawn daydreaming that she had those Pokémon. Plus, it wasn't appearant to the characters at first that they were dreaming when Cynthia had a Rayquaza. I don't know, maybe Rayquaza shouldn't count... ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 20:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

But it was still a dream Pokémon, just saying--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:22, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:Ash. Kanto starters. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

No, he woke up to the Gengar/Nidorino battle, remember?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 23:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

:No he didn't... He was watching that on T.V. the night before he left on his journey. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:22, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

But the Kanto starters in the dream [[Ash's Bulbasaur|manifested]] [[Ash's Charizard|them]][[Ash's Squirtle|selves]] into reality. And what about May commanding Mudkip in [[AG001]]?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 23:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah but that's not what I was talking about. You said he woke up to the battle of Nidorino and Gengar, which he didn't.
:Back to the subject about dream Pokémon, just because Ash got all the starters he dreamed about doesn't mean that everyone gonna get the Pokémon they've dreamed about. These stupid dream Pokémon shouldn't even be mentioned. Especially not the ones in Dawn's dream. What about all those Pokémon that Meowth always dreams Giovanni has in his dreams. Are we gonna mentioned those now? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

== Color ==

Why is her table color white? It blends with the background. Wouldn't black/a shade of gray be better? [[User: Tc26|'''tc''']][[User talk: Tc26|'''2''']][[Special: Contributions/Tc26|'''6''']] 02:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I know there's been a crackdown on speculative trivia, but I honestly think Cynthia's design is a reference to {{wp|Galaxy Express 999.}} Seriously, look at the Maetel-bot in that entry and tell me she's not inspired by that. - Nekusagi (don't know how to link myself)

===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
She first appeared in Eterna City just after the trio's [[starters]] evolved. She lent them some help before the Gym challenge. She later appears after {{Special|Platina}}'s Gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]] to help some injured {{p|Psyduck}}.

==Trivia==
* Cynthia, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, is the first [[League Champion]] since {{game|Yellow}}'s {{ga|Blue}} not to use any {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon in battle as Champion.
** However, in {{v2|Platinum}}, a {{p|Togekiss}} is added to her team instead of a {{p|Gastrodon}}.
* Cynthia is the first female NPC champion (player characters {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|May}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} become champion at the end of their journey) and the first NPC champion since {{ga|Blue}} to not have a type theme.
* Cynthia's hairbands resemble Lucario's "Aura Sensors" in shape, yet has a yellow stripe making it similar to an {{p2|Umbreon|Umbreon's ear}}.
* Cynthia is the only member of the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] not to use any Pokémon released in [[Generation II]].
** However, she has a Togekiss in Platinum, which [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p2|Togetic|a Generation II Pokémon}}.
* As of Platinum, Cynthia owns the only two non-[[Legendary]] Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon on Cynthia's team that is male.
* Cynthia's design appears to be inspired by the character designs of {{wp|Leiji Matsumoto}}, a manga artist known for his 1970s science fiction manga. Her design very closely resembles that of the character Maetel from {{wp|Galaxy Express 999}}.

'''Mewtwo Returns''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー！{{tt|我|われ}}ハココニ{{tt|在|あ}}リ''') is the first feature-length special of the {{g|anime}}. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 30, 2000. It was then released on DVD in the US on December 5, 2001.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
[[Image:30284.jpg|thumb|left|DVD cover]]Mewtwo, his heart having been softened by the selfless example of the human named [[Ash Ketchum]] back in his birthland in the eastern [[Kanto]] region, has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a locale that is unreachable by the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of his band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned about. He eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named Mt. Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo’s band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of his private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart).

But [[Giovanni]] has never forgotten about Mewtwo’s betrayal, and has been concocting a military plan of assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in his new mountain retreat and begins his operation to assault and capture Mewtwo and bend his will to Giovanni’s. The Team Rocket combat unit heads towards Mt. Quena.

Ash, [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, on their Pokémon journey as always, are now passing through the area around Mt. Quena, but complications with the weather and the bus service force them to stay at a cabin at the foot of the mountain, where they would meet the Pokémon naturalists Luna Carson and Cullen Calix and the spunky girl [[Domino]] from a Pokémon institute. But then a break-in and attempted thievery of Pikachu by the classic antics of the Team Rocket trio Jessie, James, and Meowth, and soon a series of turbulent events involving a scuffle on a hot air balloon, leads everyone into the airspace of Mt. Quena.

There everyone sees the approaching Combat Unit, and Domino, revealing herself in league with Team Rocket Organization as elite Agent 009 (or, as she calls herself, The Black Tulip, due to her use of explosive black tulips as weapons), pops their balloon and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns to Giovanni to report on Mewtwo’s status. While Ash and the other humans make a canoe to travel to the island at the centre of Mt. Quena's lake, Pikachu and Team Rocket end up confronting the clones, Pikachu's clone rallying the other clones to fight back. While Jessie and James are locked away in a cave, Pikachu and Meowth fight alongside the clones as Giovanni’s operation to capture Mewtwo begins in earnest, with Ash and his friends and enemies caught up in the core of it. Although Mewtwo manages to free the clones that the initial attack manages to capture in Poké Balls, Giovanni eventually succeeds in capturing Mewtwo with the threat that the other Pokémon clones would be his to capture and flog if Mewtwo didn’t comply, attacking and injuring Pikachu and its clone to prove his willingness to got through with his threat. With Ash and the Pokémon Clones in custody, Giovanni’s operation is successful, and he immediately capitalizes by ordering the construction of a new Team Rocket base on the mountain, while Mewtwo is attacked by two machines designed to drain his power and will and leave him nothing more than Giovanni's puppet.

The characters and all other cloned Pokémon that attempted to protect Mewtwo are then locked away in a prison cell- during which Ash is reunited with Pikachu- along with the cloned Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, who were attempting to protect their offspring. However, Giovanni’s greed for new Team Rocket bases becomes his worst mistake; without warning, a swarm of furious Bug Pokémon (which Meowth realized were coming thanks to the words of the other Pokémon) from the mountain sabotages the Team Rocket base that is polluting the freshwater lake, and the ensuing chaos allows Ash and everyone with him to escape and scatter.

Ash rushes over to Mewtwo, believing that this is the first time he’s seen Mewtwo, and he, Brock and the Pikachu try to free Mewtwo from the machines that are suppressing his mind and body, partly as thanks for Mewtwo protecting Pikachu earlier. However, Mewtwo is weak from using what was left of his power and strength to destroy the machines that held him, putting his life force in jeopardy, but Ash carries Mewtwo away from Giovanni’s battle while Brock, Misty and the other clones, along with the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon keep Team Rocket occupied.

As Ash, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} help Mewtwo towards safety, Mewtwo asks Ash why he's helping him, to which Ash replies that, while Mewtwo protecting Pikachu is one possible explanation, you don't need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. As they reach the heart of the mountain, despite protests that Mewtwo's presence may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo into a healing spring that restores his power, prompting Mewtwo to finally accept that he is a real Pokémon, as the water affects him just as it affected others. Restored to full power, the Pokémon clone rises and uses all his psychic powers to move the lake and the spring underground.

Although Mewtwo initially contemplates erasing the memories of everyone involved, Ash, Meowth, and their friends object, Meowth pointing out that the Pokémon clones need to remember their past if they're to have any kind of future, Ash assures Mewtwo that he would keep the sanctuary's existence secret at any rate, and Brock points out that erasing memories doesn't change the fact that the events happened, Acknowledging their wisdom, Mewtwo only uses his mind-erasing powers to make Giovanni and the rest of the Team Rocket operatives forget about Mewtwo and the clones, subsequently departs on his own as all the cloned Pokémon leave to lead life as natural Pokémon in the wild, sending Ash and co. in a Pikachu balloon and Jessie, James and Meowth in their normal balloon. As Ash, Misty and Brock were walking through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The Narrator concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traversed the city at night.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], [[Brock]], [[Jessie]], and [[James]] meet {{an|Mewtwo}} again after the events of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and this time are allowed to remember the encounter (although it is never revealed whether they remember their original meeting with him)

Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo’s band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of his private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart).

But [[Giovanni]] has never forgotten about Mewtwo’s betrayal, and has been concocting a military plan of assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in his new mountain retreat and begins his operation to assault and capture Mewtwo and bend his will to Giovanni’s. The Team Rocket combat unit heads towards Mt. Quena.

Ash, [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, on their Pokémon journey as always, are now passing through the area around Mt. Quena, but complications with the weather and the bus service force them to stay at a cabin at the foot of the mountain, where they would meet the Pokémon naturalists Luna Carson and Cullen Calix and the spunky girl [[Domino]] from a Pokémon institute. But then a break-in and attempted thievery of Pikachu by the classic antics of the Team Rocket trio Jessie, James, and Meowth, and soon a series of turbulent events involving a scuffle on a hot air balloon, leads everyone into the airspace of Mt. Quena.

There everyone sees the approaching Combat Unit, and Domino, revealing herself in league with Team Rocket Organization as elite Agent 009 (or, as she calls herself, The Black Tulip, due to her use of explosive black tulips as weapons), pops their balloon and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns to Giovanni to report on Mewtwo’s status. While Ash and the other humans make a canoe to travel to the island at the centre of Mt. Quena's lake, Pikachu and Team Rocket end up confronting the clones, Pikachu's clone rallying the other clones to fight back. While Jessie and James are locked away in a cave, Pikachu and Meowth fight alongside the clones as Giovanni’s operation to capture Mewtwo begins in earnest, with Ash and his friends and enemies caught up in the core of it. Although Mewtwo manages to free the clones that the initial attack manages to capture in Poké Balls, Giovanni eventually succeeds in capturing Mewtwo with the threat that the other Pokémon clones would be his to capture and flog if Mewtwo didn’t comply, attacking and injuring Pikachu and its clone to prove his willingness to got through with his threat. With Ash and the Pokémon Clones in custody, Giovanni’s operation is successful, and he immediately capitalizes by ordering the construction of a new Team Rocket base on the mountain, while Mewtwo is attacked by two machines designed to drain his power and will and leave him nothing more than Giovanni's puppet.

The characters and all other cloned Pokémon that attempted to protect Mewtwo are then locked away in a prison cell- during which Ash is reunited with Pikachu- along with the cloned Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, who were attempting to protect their offspring. However, Giovanni’s greed for new Team Rocket bases becomes his worst mistake; without warning, a swarm of furious Bug Pokémon (which Meowth realized were coming thanks to the words of the other Pokémon) from the mountain sabotages the Team Rocket base that is polluting the freshwater lake, and the ensuing chaos allows Ash and everyone with him to escape and scatter.

Ash rushes over to Mewtwo, believing that this is the first time he’s seen Mewtwo, and he, Brock and the Pikachu try to free Mewtwo from the machines that are suppressing his mind and body, partly as thanks for Mewtwo protecting Pikachu earlier. However, Mewtwo is weak from using what was left of his power and strength to destroy the machines that held him, putting his life force in jeopardy, but Ash carries Mewtwo away from Giovanni’s battle while Brock, Misty and the other clones, along with the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon keep Team Rocket occupied.

As Ash, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} help Mewtwo towards safety, Mewtwo asks Ash why he's helping him, to which Ash replies that, while Mewtwo protecting Pikachu is one possible explanation, you don't need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. As they reach the heart of the mountain, despite protests that Mewtwo's presence may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo into a healing spring that restores his power, prompting Mewtwo to finally accept that he is a real Pokémon, as the water affects him just as it affected others. Restored to full power, the Pokémon clone rises and uses all his psychic powers to move the lake and the spring underground.

Although Mewtwo initially contemplates erasing the memories of everyone involved, Ash, Meowth, and their friends object, Meowth pointing out that the Pokémon clones need to remember their past if they're to have any kind of future, Ash assures Mewtwo that he would keep the sanctuary's existence secret at any rate, and Brock points out that erasing memories doesn't change the fact that the events happened, Acknowledging their wisdom, Mewtwo only uses his mind-erasing powers to make Giovanni and the rest of the Team Rocket operatives forget about Mewtwo and the clones, subsequently departs on his own as all the cloned Pokémon leave to lead life as natural Pokémon in the wild, sending Ash and co. in a Pikachu balloon and Jessie, James and Meowth in their normal balloon. As Ash, Misty and Brock were walking through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The Narrator concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traversed the city at night.

==Synopsis==
[[Image:30284.jpg|thumb|left|DVD cover]]Mewtwo, his heart having been softened by the selfless example of the human named [[Ash Ketchum]] back in his birthland in the eastern [[Kanto]] region, has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a locale that is unreachable by the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of his band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned about. He eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named Mt. Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo’s band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of his private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart).

But [[Giovanni]] has never forgotten about Mewtwo’s betrayal, and has been concocting a military plan of assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in his new mountain retreat and begins his operation to assault and capture Mewtwo and bend his will to Giovanni’s. The Team Rocket combat unit heads towards Mt. Quena.

Ash, [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, on their Pokémon journey as always, are now passing through the area around Mt. Quena, but complications with the weather and the bus service force them to stay at a cabin at the foot of the mountain, where they would meet the Pokémon naturalists Luna Carson and Cullen Calix and the spunky girl [[Domino]] from a Pokémon institute. But then a break-in and attempted thievery of Pikachu by the classic antics of the Team Rocket trio Jessie, James, and Meowth, and soon a series of turbulent events involving a scuffle on a hot air balloon, leads everyone into the airspace of Mt. Quena.

There everyone sees the approaching Combat Unit, and Domino, revealing herself in league with Team Rocket Organization as elite Agent 009 (or, as she calls herself, The Black Tulip, due to her use of explosive black tulips as weapons), pops their balloon and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns to Giovanni to report on Mewtwo’s status. While Ash and the other humans make a canoe to travel to the island at the centre of Mt. Quena's lake, Pikachu and Team Rocket end up confronting the clones, Pikachu's clone rallying the other clones to fight back. While Jessie and James are locked away in a cave, Pikachu and Meowth fight alongside the clones as Giovanni’s operation to capture Mewtwo begins in earnest, with Ash and his friends and enemies caught up in the core of it. Although Mewtwo manages to free the clones that the initial attack manages to capture in Poké Balls, Giovanni eventually succeeds in capturing Mewtwo with the threat that the other Pokémon clones would be his to capture and flog if Mewtwo didn’t comply, attacking and injuring Pikachu and its clone to prove his willingness to got through with his threat. With Ash and the Pokémon Clones in custody, Giovanni’s operation is successful, and he immediately capitalizes by ordering the construction of a new Team Rocket base on the mountain, while Mewtwo is attacked by two machines designed to drain his power and will and leave him nothing more than Giovanni's puppet.

The characters and all other cloned Pokémon that attempted to protect Mewtwo are then locked away in a prison cell- during which Ash is reunited with Pikachu- along with the cloned Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, who were attempting to protect their offspring. However, Giovanni’s greed for new Team Rocket bases becomes his worst mistake; without warning, a swarm of furious Bug Pokémon (which Meowth realized were coming thanks to the words of the other Pokémon) from the mountain sabotages the Team Rocket base that is polluting the freshwater lake, and the ensuing chaos allows Ash and everyone with him to escape and scatter.

Ash rushes over to Mewtwo, believing that this is the first time he’s seen Mewtwo, and he, Brock and the Pikachu try to free Mewtwo from the machines that are suppressing his mind and body, partly as thanks for Mewtwo protecting Pikachu earlier. However, Mewtwo is weak from using what was left of his power and strength to destroy the machines that held him, putting his life force in jeopardy, but Ash carries Mewtwo away from Giovanni’s battle while Brock, Misty and the other clones, along with the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon keep Team Rocket occupied.

As Ash, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} help Mewtwo towards safety, Mewtwo asks Ash why he's helping him, to which Ash replies that, while Mewtwo protecting Pikachu is one possible explanation, you don't need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. As they reach the heart of the mountain, despite protests that Mewtwo's presence may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo into a healing spring that restores his power, prompting Mewtwo to finally accept that he is a real Pokémon, as the water affects him just as it affected others. Restored to full power, the Pokémon clone rises and uses all his psychic powers to move the lake and the spring underground.

Although Mewtwo initially contemplates erasing the memories of everyone involved, Ash, Meowth, and their friends object, Meowth pointing out that the Pokémon clones need to remember their past if they're to have any kind of future, Ash assures Mewtwo that he would keep the sanctuary's existence secret at any rate, and Brock points out that erasing memories doesn't change the fact that the events happened, Acknowledging their wisdom, Mewtwo only uses his mind-erasing powers to make Giovanni and the rest of the Team Rocket operatives forget about Mewtwo and the clones, subsequently departs on his own as all the cloned Pokémon leave to lead life as natural Pokémon in the wild, sending Ash and co. in a Pikachu balloon and Jessie, James and Meowth in their normal balloon. As Ash, Misty and Brock were walking through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The Narrator concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traversed the city at night.
