Giovanni's machines
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Two machines, invented by Giovanni, made their appearances in Mewtwo Returns.
One is red, while the other is gray. Each has an orb used as a weapon, and are meant to turn Mewtwo into Giovanni's puppet. The first time they are encountered by Mewtwo, it is able to knock them away with its Psychic powers. However, they are not destroyed, instead creating an orb for Mewtwo to go inside of.
Once inside, Giovanni threatens to destroy all the cloned Pokémon. However, Mewtwo's mind is not truly controlled by Giovanni, and it is weakened by the orb. Giovanni then realizes that Mewtwo's body will be destroyed before the will, and it will be a test to see which one's will is stronger.
Ash and company arrive and attempt to deactivate the machine. Even with the help of Pikachu, Meowth and the clones, it is unable to be destroyed. Using the last of its strength, as well as a Thunderbolt, both machines are destroyed.
Mewtwo is later healed from all its injuries by the spring at the top of Mount Quena.
