Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon cloned from a Mew in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

Already in the first round of the manga, Red meets Team Rocket grunts who are after the mysterious Mew. As later revealed, Team Rocket was trying to clone Mew in order to create an even more powerful Pokémon. The first glimpse of this clone is seen in Tauros the Tyrant, when Red inflitrates Team Rocket headquarters in Celadon City, trying to find information about Green. He ends up in a secret underground laboratory, where he hears Blaine, working as a Team Rocket scientist, explaining that they need more cells to be taken from Mew to complete the clone.

Despite Red's attempts, Blaine eventually manages to create Mewtwo, but he is forced to use human cells from his own arm in addition to Mew's cells to do so. As a result, Blaine and Mewtwo become linked, and can always track each other. Mewtwo then escapes, and Blaine leaves Team Rocket to find it. After Team Rocket is finally defeated, Red meets Blaine again in the Cerulean Cave in And Mewtwo Too!?, and together they try to capture it. After a hard battle against Mewtwo's twister Psywave, Pika manages to throw Blaine's Master Ball at the Genetic Pokémon, catching it. Red then gives Mewtwo to Blaine, and tells him to teach Mewtwo that humans are not all arrogant and cruel creatures.

Yellow arc

Mewtwo battling against Lance

Mewtwo was next seen resting under Blaine's care in Purrrr-sian. Since Blaine finds out that being too far from Mewtwo puts a strain on Mewtwo's body due to their genetic link, Mewtwo lives in specially engineered fluid. For travel, Blaine fills Mewtwo's Master Ball with that fulid.

When Yellow later visits Cinnabar Island in Putting It On The Line... Against Arcanine, he finds Blaine and Mewtwo training together for the upcoming battle against the villainous Elite Four. Once the battle finally starts on Cerise Island, Yellow and Blaine find themselves teamed up against the powerful Lance, and Blaine uses Mewtwo against Lance's entire team in Airing Out Aerodactyl and Draggin' In Dragonair. Despite its best efforts, Mewtwo fails to defeat Lance within the three minutes it can live out of its special fluid. Knowing that further battle will kill Blaine, Mewtwo is forced to return to its Master Ball and leave Yellow on her own in Aerodactyl Redux.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

A year after the events at Cerise Island, Blaine leaves Mewtwo in his laboratory as he goes to participate in the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League with the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto. While there, Blaine finds the legendary Entei, who chooses the former as its partner. Entei then uses its special flames to heal Blaine's arm, effectively cutting the link between Blaine and Mewtwo. Sensing what happened, Mewtwo then leaves Cinnabar Island, a free Pokémon.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Mewtwo once again appears years later in the Sevii Islands in end of Reason to Fight where it has rescues an injured Lorelei. In Mewtwo Participates in the Battle it invites Red the fight on his side against Team Rocket and Deoxys. Unlike previous chapters, in this chapter Mewtwo communicates directly with the other characters via telepathy, explaining that it gained the ability after going through the experience of having a master and leaving him. At first it only communicates with Red and Yellow, but later it starts trusting Blue as well. Another person it manages to communicate with is Giovanni, but only for the purpose of letting him feel its fury.

Mewtwo explains to Red and Giovanni that it came to battle because it saw itself in Deoxys, the two of them having very similar species names, and wanted to keep Team Rocket from using Deoxys in the same manner they used him. Giovanni slows Mewtwo down by restraining it in a special armor called "M2 Bind", which can withstand all Pokémon attacks and slowly sap Mewtwo's energy. Red, Blue, and Green eventually manage to break the armor by using Saur, Charizard, and Blasty's newly learned ultimate moves, Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon, at the exact same time from different directions. The moves types cancel each other out before hitting Mewtwo, thus avoiding hurting it as well.

Free again, Mewtwo departs with Red and Charizard after Giovanni. They catch up with him in Viridian City, where Mewtwo battle under Red's command against Giovanni and Deoxys on Team Rocket's flying battle stadium. The battle proves very long and difficult for both sides, but eventually Deoxys is defeated. The danger is not over, however, as Carr reveals that he planted his many Forretress all over the battleship, and they are ready to selfdestruct and crash the ship. To protect his friends, Red asks Deoxys to send Mewtwo and Yellow to safety via its "black hole", despite their protests.

Mewtwo eventually emerges on the other side of the black hole in front of Blue, Green, and Silver in Vermilion City, holding a sleeping Yellow. Mewtwo is too tired to help save Red, but is the only one to notice Mew arrive to help land the battleship safely. Realizing that it finally has someone to trace its roots back to - Mewtwo says goodbye to Deoxys, who then flies away. Just then Sird of Team Rocket returns and tries to recapture Deoxys with a special beam. To stop her, Mewtwo and the kids jump in front of the beam, resulting in the Pokédex holders turning to stone.

Trivia

• Mewtwo's design, as well as its personality, have been slightly altered in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc to give it more character. The new design resembled Mewtwo's anime counterpart, and even the armor Giovanni trapped Mewtwo in resembled the armor Mewtwo wore in the anime while under Giovanni's control.
