## Ash Ketchum

* That's right, I am too weak to work, but a Pokémon battle isn't work.

## Dr. Fuji

* [In horror, last words] We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon, and we succeeded.
* [archived recording; explosions of Mewtwo's destruction, screams and static are seen and heard while it's playing] I haven't got much time! I pray this record of our experiments survives! A year ago, we discovered a fossil that proved to be the remains of the ancient Pokémon, Mew. There was sufficient genetic material to replicate Mew. But Giovanni, who funded our project, insisted we try to design superclones more powerful than any living Pokémon! Many attempts failed, but finally our experiments proved successful. We produced a living Pokémon. We called it Mewtwo. But for some reason, the creature's anger is out of control! With its psychic powers, it is destroying our laboratory! We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon, and we succeeded. [the file ends]

## Giovanni

* A wildfire destroys everything in its path. It will be the same with your powers unless you learn to control them.
* You were created by humans to obey humans. You could never be our equal.

## Mewtwo

* Behold my powers! I am the strongest Pokémon in the world. Stronger even than Mew.
* Who am I? What is my true reason for being? I will find my own purpose... and purge this planet of all who oppose me, human and Pokémon alike. The world will heed my warning: The Reign of Mewtwo will soon begin.
* You humans are a dangerous species. You brought me into your world with no purpose but to be your slave. But now I have my own purpose. My storm will create my own world, by destroying yours.
* Your Pokémon will not be spared. They have disgraced themselves by serving humans. Those Pokémon are nothing but slaves. [Pikachu: Pika, Pika-Pika!] So, you say I am wrong? That you are not this human's servant, you are his friend? [Pikachu: Pika.] You are as pathetic as the rest. [psychically lifts Pikachu and throws him backward] [Pikachu: Ka! Pika-Pi!] [Ash Ketchum: Pikachu!] Humans and Pokémon can never be friends.
* Humans, you have served my purpose. I am sparing your lives, for the moment. [thunder crackles] But you cannot escape your fate. The hour of my vengeance draws near. [explosion; his army of clones arrive] Behold! [the Trainers look and gasp in horror] With Pokémon and humans eliminated, the clones shall inherit the world. [Ash Ketchum: I can't do this. I won't let you.] We'll see about that.
* [chasing Mew] Why do you flee from me? Are you afraid to find out which one of us is greater?
* [after Ash has intercepted the blast between him and Mew] Fool. Trying to stop the battle...?
* A human sacrificed himself to save the Pokémon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences did I see the true power they all share deep inside. [Mew: [nods in agreement] Mew.] I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. [Mew: Mew.]

## Miranda

* Some trainers have no fear. To them this is just one more challenge. They follow their hearts. That is what sets them apart, and will make them Pokémon Masters. Good luck to all of you.

## Nurse Joy

* Pokémon aren't meant to fight; Not like this. It's useless! What can come out of it?

## Amber

* Maybe it makes a difference to you whether you're a Pokémon or a person but not to me!
* My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story, that when Pokémon are sad, and they cry, their tears are filled with life.
* Thank you for caring about me. And don't cry Mewtwo, you should be happy! You're alive, and life is wonderful...

## Dialogue
### Pikachu’s Vacation

    Ash: [first lines] Well, Pikachu, we're here.
    Pikachu: Pika!
    [Team Rocket Pokémon, Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing all yawn preparing to sleep]
    Meowth: This is the perfect place for a comfy catnap.

### Origin of Mewtwo

    Mewtwo: I sense others near me...what are those strange sounds they make?
    Amber: [offscreen] Those are words. They're talking!
    Mewtwo: Huh? [Amber appears] Who are you?
    Amber: What do you mean? I'm a girl. A person.
    Mewtwo: A person? Am I a person?
    Amber: Well you look like a Pokémon, but you can talk! I didn't know a Pokémon could talk like a person!
    Mewtwo: Pokémon? Person? What are those? Which one am I?
    Amber: Maybe it makes a difference to you whether you're a Pokémon or a person, but not to me!
    Mewtwo: [watching as Amber begins to fade away] What's wrong Amber? What's happening?
    Amber: It feels like...it's time...to say goodbye...
    Mewtwo: Goodbye? [begins to cry] I feel...something... [wipes a tear from his eye] What are these?
    Amber: They're tears, you're crying.
    Mewtwo: Crying?
    Amber: My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story, that when Pokémon are sad, and they cry, their tears are filled with life.
    Mewtwo: I'm so sad...
    Amber: I have to go...
    Mewtwo: Why?
    Amber: [last words] I don't know, but it's alright. Thank you for caring about me. And don't cry Mewtwo, you should be happy. You're alive, and life is wonderful. [fades away]

### Mewtwo Strikes Back

    [First lines]
    Narrator: Life. The great miracle, and the great mystery.
    Mysterious Voice: [echoing] Who am I?
    Narrator: Since the beginning, humans and Pokémon alike have searched for its meaning.
    Mysterious Voice: [echoing] What am I?
    Narrator: Many strange and wondrous legends evolved for the pursuits of life's mysteries.
    Mysterious Voice: [echoing] Where am I?
    Narrator: But none is stranger than this tale of the most powerful Pokémon of all.
    Mysterious Voice: [echoing] I am ready...to be.
    [somewhere]
    Mewtwo: [slowly wakes up] Where...am I? [looks around and sees itself surrounded in bubbling liquid and sees some people watching him] This...This is not the same. Was everything before just a dream? Why? [goes back to sleep]
    Female Scientist: Doctor, look at this.
    Dr. Fuji: What?
    Female Scientist: Its brainwaves. They're surging!
    [more voices are clamoring, while an alarm starts blaring]
    Mewtwo: [wakes up] Those voices.
    Dr. Fuji: I hope we don't lose this one.
    Mewtwo: They're outside.
    Dr. Fuji: We can't lose this one.
    Mewtwo: Where I must be. [his eyes glow blue, breaking the glass container, and the scientists turn and see Mewtwo]
    Male Scientist: Radio Giovanni's helicopter! Tell him what's happened!
    Dr. Fuji: Quiet! [alarm stops blaring] Let us hear its psychic powers.
    Mewtwo: [looks up] "Psychic powers"?
    Dr. Fuji: For years, we struggled to successfully clone a Pokémon to prove our theories, but you're the first specimen to survive. [shows Mewtwo a picture] That is Mew, the rarest of all Pokémon. From its DNA, we created you: Mewtwo.
    Mewtwo: [looks at the picture] "Mewtwo." Am I only a copy? Nothing but Mew's shadow?
    Dr. Fuji: You are greater than Mew, improved through the power of human ingenuity. [Mewtwo turns to Dr. Fuji] We use the most advanced techniques to develop your awesome psychic powers.
    Mewtwo: So, I am simply the end result of your experiment. What becomes of me now that your experiment is over?
    Dr. Fuji: Oh, our experiment isn't over yet, it's just beginning! Now the serious testing begins.
    Mewtwo: [narrows his eyes] These humans, they care nothing for me. [the scientists congratulate each other; he becomes tense, then looks at his hands, clenching them in anger] Is that﻿ my purpose? Am I just an experiment? A laboratory specimen? [angrily] This cannot be my destiny. [angrily glows blue and starts destroying the lab]
    [The scientists run away in terror as Mewtwo destroys the lab with its psychic powers]
    Dr. Fuji: [sitting on the ground and watching the lab become engulfed with flames; in a horrified voice] We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon... [Mewtwo starts to form a blue orb around himself] and we succeeded.
    [The blue orb enlarges and causes an explosion that destroys the lab entirely, killing all scientists, including Dr. Fuji. Afterwards, a helicopter approaches the island]
    Mewtwo: [looking over the destruction he has caused] Behold my powers! I am the strongest Pokémon in the world. Stronger even than Mew. [hears footsteps and turns around to see Giovanni]
    Giovanni: Those fools thought you were a science experiment. But I, I see you as a valuable partner.
    Mewtwo: "Partner"?
    Giovanni: [nods] With your psychic powers and my resources, together we can control the world.
    Mewtwo: I do not need your help for that, human.
    Giovanni: A wildfire destroys everything in its path. It will be the same with your powers unless you learn to control them. I can help you do that.
    Mewtwo: How?
    Giovanni: Trust me, and I'll show you a way to focus your powers that will make you invincible.
    Mewtwo: Show me. [Giovanni smirks as the flames engulf the screen. Mewtwo is later shown being suited up in armor] You say this armor protects my body, yet it suppresses my powers.
    Giovanni: Your powers are not being suppressed; they're being focused. Learn to use them to accomplish your purpose.
    Mewtwo: What is that?
    Giovanni: Patience, my friend. Your purpose will become clear.
    [Mewtwo is put on a battlefield, while Giovanni snaps his fingers, and Mewtwo easily beats an Onix]
    Mewtwo: [intrigued] So, this is my power. [a group of Tauros stampede towards him, but he lifts up them using his psychic powers while Team Rocket grunts capture them] I am in control now. [continues fighting Pokémon from Alakazam, to Magneton, and Gary Oak's Nidoking and Arcanine, still winning each battle easily] But why am I here? [Fade to black. Later, Mewtwo is back in the secret lab; to himself] Now I fully perceive my power. But what is my purpose?
    Giovanni: [approaches on the balcony] To serve your master. You were created to fight for me. That is your purpose.
    Mewtwo: [outraged] That cannot be. You said we were partners. We stood as equals.
    Giovanni: You were created by humans to obey humans. You could never be our equal.
    Mewtwo: [angrily] Humans may have created me, but they will never enslave me. This cannot be my destiny! [starts breaking free]
    Giovanni: Stop this now!
    Mewtwo: [furiously] I was not born a Pokémon, I was created. And my creators have used and betrayed me. So, I stand alone! [Giovanni barely escapes while Mewtwo destroys his lab, and escapes to the island where he was created while his armor falls off and also takes off his helmet] Who am I? What is my true reason for being? [fades from the mountains to the ocean] I will find my own purpose...and purge this planet of all who oppose me, human and Pokémon alike. The world will heed my warning: [menacingly] The reign of Mewtwo will soon begin.
    Narrator: Today, Ash, Brock and Misty are taking a short break from their Pokémon adventures. As always, Ash is determined to become a Pokémon Master. And, as always, he's ready to endure any hardship, bear any burden with strength, stamina and a will of steel.
    Ash: [weakly] Hungry. Need food.
    Misty: [annoyed] Oh, Ash, you haven't done a thing all day!
    Ash: I'm too weak to work, Misty; I haven't eaten since breakfast.
    Misty: [groans] Ohh.
    Brock: [while cooking] This lunch is gonna be just perfect for you, Ash. It's my Lazy-Boy No-Chew Stew.
    [Someone approaches Ash and his friends. Pikachu and Togepi stop playing and run back to Ash and Misty]
    Raymond: [pointing at Ash] Hey! You, there! I'm looking for a Pokémon trainer named Ash from Pallet Town. You know him?
    Ash: Yeah, he's me.
    Raymond: Let's have a match! Unless you're afraid to lose! [grabs a Pokéball]
    Ash: [stands up in excitement] Ha! I'm afraid you're going to lose this one!
    Misty: Ash, you just said you were too weak to work!
    Ash: That's right, I am too weak to work, but a Pokémon battle isn't work.
    Brock: [still cooking] That's progress. At least his mouth is working.
    Pikachu: [agreeing with Brock] Pikachu.
    Raymond: [in shock and horror] Uhh! OH, NO!
    Ash: [happily] We did it!
    Pikachu: Pika!
    Misty: [surprised] Well, that sure was a shocking ending.
    Brock: [amused] Shocking that Ash moved so fast.
    Togepi: Prri!
    Jessie: [after stopping Dragonite with her frying pan] We want to know what's so special about the twerp trio's special delivery!
    Meowth: [seeing a replier to which Ash replied "yes" to] Hey, look!
    James: "Yes"? To what?
    Neesha: [shocked] Huh?
    Corey: [shocked] What? The ferry is cancelled?
    Neesha: But I've got to get to New Island.
    Pokémon Trainer: Yeah, so do I.
    Pokémon Trainer: What's the big deal? It's only a little rain.
    Officer Jenny: It's more than just rain. The harbor manager thinks this could be the worst storm ever.
    Miranda: Listen to me. The prophets have predicted the return of the Winds of Water. For years, I prayed mankind would never witness that deadly storm ever again.
    Officer Jenny: Isn't that just a legend?
    Miranda: The ancient writings tell of the storm wiping out all but a few Pokémon. In their sorrow, the water of their tears somehow restored the lives lost in the storm. But there are no Pokémon tears today; Just waters which no one can survive.
    Officer Jenny: [to the Pokémon trainers] And that's why your ferry to New Island's been cancelled.
    Fergus: Well, I'm going to New Island anyway! All my Pokémon are water-type!
    Female Pokémon Trainer: No fair!
    Fergus: We'll just swim over to that palace!
    Miranda: I warn you; The waves will be savage. You will never make it.
    Officer Jenny: And besides, if you tried that stunt and your Pokémon got hurt, you'd be out of luck, because we had to close down the Pokémon center.
    Ash: Uh, how come?
    Officer Jenny: [to Ash] Because the Nurse in charge of the center disappeared last month. [to the other Pokémon Trainers] And if any of you see her, please contact me at once. [toward picture of Nurse Joy] That's a picture of her over there on the wall.
    Brock: [sees photo] Hmm. She's cute. [notices the face] Huh. She sure looks familiar.
    [Corey is riding his Pidgeot over the storm, Fergus jumps on his Gyarados]
    Officer Jenny: Come back here! Or I'll place you under arrest!
    [Neesha jumps on her Dewgong]
    Dewgong: Dewgong-Gong!
    Officer Jenny: Come back! [her hat flies off her head] Aah!
    Miranda: Some trainers have no fear.
    Officer Jenny: Huh?
    Miranda: To them, this is just one more challenge. They follow their hearts. That is what sets them apart and will make them Pokémon Masters. [Corey, Fergus and Neesha are riding their respective Pokémon to get to New Island] Good luck to all of you.
    [Ash, Misty and Brock run to the dock]
    Ash: [with determination] The world's greatest Pokémon Master is waiting for me! Let's use our Pokémon to get to that island!
    Pikachu: [with determination] Pika!
    Misty: [concerned] Ash, our Pokémon aren't strong enough; They can't handle giant waves like this!
    Ash: [sadly] Guess you're right.
    Pikachu: [sadly] Pika, Pika.
    Jessie: [in a Viking costume using voice of a Viking] You vant to cross, maybe? Ve take you, ja? Ve Vikings are used to big vaves. Ve get you to New Island faster than you can say, Fahrvernugen. [cut to Jessie and James rowing the Viking boat] Stroke!
    James: Unh!
    Jessie: Stroke!
    James: Unh! Unh!
    Jessie: Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! [normal voice; to herself] Oh, I think I'm going to have one!
    Brock: I didn't know Vikings still existed.
    Ash: They mostly live in Minnesota.
    Misty: Something's not right. Are you sure this boat's safe?
    Ash, Misty, and Brock: Whoa!
    Pikachu: Pika!
    Jessie: [in a Viking voice] Don't vorry. Dis ship von't let you down. Ve alvays sail in da rough veather. Don't get upset.
    Meowth: [disguised as the boat's figurehead, looking nauseous] Tell (that to) my stomach.
    Jessie: Heave.
    James: Ho.
    Jessie: Heave.
    James: Ho.
    Jessie: Heave.
    James: Ho.
    Misty: [to Togepi, who whimpers] It's alright, Togepi. We're gonna be okay.
    [a giant wave appears in front of the boat]
    Everyone: [screams in terror] WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
    [the wave hits the boat, washing away Team Rocket's Viking costumes in the process]
    Ash: Those aren't Vikings!
    Misty: It's Team Rocket!
    Brock: I should've known there was something fishy about them, besides the way they smell!
    Jessie: Ha! Prepare for trouble!
    James: Make it double!
    [a wave rises behind them]
    Meowth: [seeing the wave] Forget the motto! We're going to have to wait--
    Everyone: [screams] AAAAAAAAH!
    [The wave hits the boat, throwing everyone overboard]
    [After Ash falls in and growls angrily underwater]
    Ash: [emerges out of the water] HEY! [follows the Clone Ball to Mewtwo's lab] YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET PIKACHU!
    Jessie and James: [watching the screen as Mewtwo's Clone Balls are moving through the conveyor belt] There goes...Alakazam...Dewgong...Vileplume!
    Meowth: [watching the clone Pokémon being created] Sandshrew, Nidoqueen, Vaporeon. [looks at his clone] But me, I got a special place in my tail for this one.
    Ash: [lands on a conveyor belt with a hard thud] Ugh!
    Jessie and James: Huh?
    Ash: [groans] Ohh.
    James: Yeeeh!
    Jessie: Look there!
    Ash: Uhh. [to Team Rocket] Aah, I don't have time for your dumb motto today! [grabs Pikachu's ball but a claw grabs the ball and carries Ash with the ball]
    Jessie and James: [watching the screen and seeing a silhouette of Pikachu] Who's that Pokémon? It's Pikachu!
    Ash: [fighting with mechanical claws inside the cloning machine] Ow! Let go! Ugh! Stupid machine! Ugh! GIVE ME BACK MY...PIKACHU! [biting the machine arm, growling in anger] AAAARRGGH!
    [The silhouette of Pikachu disappears, and an alarm starts blaring]
    Meowth: [worried] What's happening?!
    [Ash fights against the mechanical arms, breaks loose and frees Pikachu]
    Ash: [in shock] Huh? [happily] Ahh! [Pikachu shakes his head and sputters] Pikachu!
    Pikachu: Pi? [happily] Pika-Pi! [turns around and runs to Ash, and they both hug, while Ash laughs] Ka!
    Ash: I'm so glad you're okay.
    Pikachu: Ka!
    [The Pokémon clones start coming down and Team Rocket shudders in horror]
    Jessie: The copies are hatching! [the Pokémon clones start to hatch; amazed] They're fabulous fakes.
    Meowth: Send in da Clones!
    Ash: But where are the real ones?
    Pikachu: Pika?
    [The Pokémon clones leave the lab while the alarm gets louder and faster]
    James: [about the clones] I wonder if they feel--
    Meowth: Clonesome.
    Team Rocket: [the machine behind them explodes] WHOA!
    [Mewtwo's cloning machine is destroyed, thereby freeing all the original Pokémon from Mewtwo's Clone Balls]
    Jessie: The Poké originals!
    Tentacruel: Tentacruel. [hugs Team Rocket with its tentacles, scaring them]
    Mewtwo: Humans, you have served my purpose. I am sparing your lives for the moment. [uses his psychic powers to open the giant doors; thunder crackles] But you cannot escape your fate. The hour of my vengeance draws near. [the floor explodes behind him and his army of clones arrive] Behold. [the Trainers look in shock and horror] With Pokémon and humans eliminated, the clones shall inherit the world.
    Ash: [bravely] You can't do this. I won't let you. [starts walking through the smoke, film-noir-style]
    Misty: It's Ash!
    Brock: Alright!
    [Ash and the original Pokémon start walking toward Mewtwo]
    Psyduck: [walks in confusion] Psy-yi-yi. [pause] Duck.
    Misty: Psyduck!
    Brock: Vulpix!
    [Ash and the original Pokémon stop and stare at Mewtwo and the clones]
    Mewtwo: It is useless to challenge me.
    Ash: [angrily] It's not gonna end like this, Mewtwo! We won't let it! [flips his hat backwards] You're mine!
    [After Mew deflects one of Mewtwo's attacks, knocking him backwards into the stadium seats]
    Mewtwo: [bursting out of the rubble] So, you do have some fight in you! But I have no time for games. Destiny is at hand. Who will rule? My super-Pokémon, or your pathetic group of spineless inferior Pokémon?
    Mew: Mew.
    Mewtwo: We were created with powers far stronger than the originals.
    [Mew replies with a long set of "Mew" sounds]
    Meowth: [understanding what Mew is saying] Mew's got a good point.
    Jessie: What's it saying?
    Meowth: Mew says, "You don't prove anything by showing off a lot of special powers, and that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart."
    Mewtwo: [angrily] My clones don't need their powers to prove their worth! [launches a psychic attack at Mew, who dodges; Ash is nearly hit, and Team Rocket are forced to flee from the resulting rubble] I will block all the Pokémon's special abilities using my psychic powers. Now, we shall see who triumphs. Go!
    [The Pokémon and their clones charge into battle with each other, except Pikachu]
    Nurse Joy: [watching the Pokémon Clones battle with the other Trainers Pokémon] Pokémon aren't meant to fight; not like this. It's useless. What can come out of it?
    Neesha: Nothing but pain.
    Brock: Why can't Mewtwo understand it's not right to force Pokémon to battle this way?
    Misty: They're all living creatures. This just proves that fighting is wrong.
    [Brock's Vulpix and the Vulpix clone fall and stop battling in exhaustion]
    James: [he, Jessie and Meowth are watching the Pokémon and their clones fighting] I was prepared for trouble, but not for this.
    Jessie: Make that double, for me.
    James: Now, I can see how horrible fighting really is.
    Jessie: Even the best of friends will fight sometimes.
    James: I'll promise never to fight again if you will! [hugs Jessie and starts crying] Oh, Jessie!
    Jessie: [hugs James and starts crying also] Oh, James!
    Meowth: [watches Jessie and James crying] Hmm. [sees his clone] Hmm? Aah!
    Clone Meowth: [stands up] Meow!
    [Both Meowth and his clone retract their claws and prepare for battle, but then stop]
    Meowth: [looks at his claws] Hey, what am I doing?
    Clone Meowth: [looks at it's claws also then sits down lazily] Meow.
    Meowth: Let's get something straight, copycat! You-owth ain't going to push Meowth around!
    Clone Meowth: [scratches itself] Meow, meow.
    Meowth: You mean, we don't have to fight each other? But how can I trust you? You was born different.
    Clone Meowth: [points to Meowth's claws] Meow, meow.
    Meowth: [looks at his claws] I almost made a clawful mistake. But how do I know you're not going to pull a fast one on me?
    Clone Meowth: [looks up to the moon] Meow, meow, meow.
    Meowth: Hmm? [looks up at the moon as well] You're right. We do have a lot in common. The same Earth, the same air, the same sky.
    Clone Meowth: Meow.
    Meowth: Maybe if we started looking at what's the same, instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?
    Clone Meowth: Meow.
    Ash: We've got to stop this.
    Brock: But how? All Mewtwo cares about is proving how strong those super-clones are.
    [Mew and Mewtwo continue to fight up above]
    Nurse Joy: I'd rather risk my life out in Mewtwo's storm than watch these Pokémon destroy each other.
    Misty: Oh, me, too!
    Nurse Joy: I wish there was some way to stop them. I don't know what to do!
    [Ash's Charizard and its clone collapse in exhaustion]
    Brock: I don't think they'll ever stop. Those Pokémon look like they're ready to fight to the death.
    Misty: That's a fight that nobody's going to win.
    Ash: Someone's got to take a stand. Someone's got to say "no" and refuse to fight, just like Pikachu.
    [Pikachu's clone, exhausted from hitting Pikachu again and again, collapses into its arms]
    [Mew and Mewtwo glow with psychic energy, Ash runs towards them]
    Brock: Ash, wait!
    Ash: YOU'VE GOTTA STOP RIGHT NOW! [Mew and Mewtwo both fire off powerful beams] STOOOOOOP!!!! [gets hit by both blasts]
    Misty: ASH!
    Brock: OH, NO!
    Pikachu: PIKA-PI!
    [Ash floats to the floor, then collapses slowly, groaning weakly]
    Mewtwo: [in shock and disbelief] Fool. Trying to stop our battle?
    Mew: [turns its head to the side in confusion] Mew?
    Pikachu: Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash] Pikachu? [Ash's body turns to stone. He tries to wake up Ash by shaking him to no avail] Pika. Pika-pi. [the Gyarados and its' clone start roaring, along with Rhyhorn its' Clone] Pika-pi. Pika. CHU! [uses Thunderbolt on Ash, but he doesn't wake up] Pika. CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU!
    Misty: [in a worried voice] Please, no.
    Pikachu: [still using Thunderbolt] CHU! [panting] Pika. Pika. [uses Thunderbolt one last time] CHU! [stops using Thunderbolt in exhaustion and is panting heavily] Pika. Pika. [realizes Ash is gone; voice breaking] Pika-Pi. [starts shedding tears] Pika-Pi.
    [Around the stadium, both the original Pokémon and the clones start to shed tears, which float to Ash Ketchum's body, then his body starts glowing blue]
    Pikachu: [in shock] Pika? [in concern] Pika-Pi? [drops a few more tears on Ash's stone body]
    [a beam of light then shines on Ash; his body returns to normal, and he slowly wakes up]
    Pikachu: [in shock] Pi? [in happiness] Pika!
    Ash: [in confusion] Huh? [in shock] Oh. [smiles] Mmmm. [happily] Pikachu!
    Pikachu: Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash]
    [Ash hugs Pikachu and laughs; the Trainers, Nurse Joy and the Pokémon happily rejoice]
    Mewtwo: [flying with Mew, with a change of heart] A human sacrificed himself to save the Pokémon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences, did I see the true power they all share deep inside.
    Mew: [nods in agreement] Mew.
    Mewtwo: I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
    Mew: Mew.
    [Both Mew and Mewtwo begin to glow and use their psychic powers to lift all of the cloned Pokémon into the air. The cloned Pokémon wave goodbye and fly away with Mew and Mewtwo. Ash, the trainers and the other Pokémon watch them fly away]
    Ash: Mewtwo, where are you going?
    Mewtwo: Where my heart can learn what yours knows so well. What transpired here, I will always remember. But perhaps for you, these events are best forgotten. [disappears into the clouds with the clones and Mew]
    [A bright blue light from the ground begins to lift Ash, the Trainers, the Pokémon, and the light continues to increase throughout the stadium]
    Officer Jenny: This could be the worst storm ever.
    Miranda: You must listen to me. You have got to find shelter.
    Nurse Joy: [in the crowd] Excuse me, please. [the Pokémon Trainers see her] The Pokémon Treatment Center will be open as a shelter. Anyone who needs a place to stay should come with me. [walks to the Pokémon Treatment Center, and the other Trainers follow suit]
    Boy: You think they'll have a pizza down there?
    Brock: Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are really great. They just keep getting more beautiful every time I see 'em.
    Ash: Hey, guys, how'd we wind up in this place anyway?
    Misty: Well, I guess we're just here because we're here.
    Pikachu: Pika.
    Ash: Yeah. Let's eat!
    Misty: [nods her head] Uh-huh.
    Officer Jenny: Look, it's a miracle.
    Ash, Misty and Brock: Huh? [they all step outside and gasp is awe]
    Miranda: I can't believe it.
    Officer Jenny: The storm disappeared.
    Neesha: That's so weird.
    Miranda: [smiles] it's good to have things clear again.
    Officer Jenny: [nods her head] Hmm.
    [last lines]
    Ash: [sees Mew] Hey, what's that?
    Brock: Hmm?
    Misty: What's what? [Mew disappears] I don't see anything, Ash.
    Brock: Except the sky.
    Ash: [smiles] Hmm. The day I left home to start my Pokémon journey, I saw a really rare Pokémon, and just now, I thought I saw another one.
    Misty: Well, maybe you're just seeing things, Ash.
    Ash: Huh?
    Brock: Well, maybe he's not.
    Ash: Ha-ha! Hmm. Well, maybe we'll see.
    Pikachu: [nods in agreement] Pikachu.
    Narrator: Many strange legends surround the mysteries of Pokémon, and just as many adventures await our young heroes as they continue on their quest. For Ash and his friends, the journey's just begun.
    [Team Rocket is still on New Island, and they don't have any memory how they got there]
    Jessie: I don't have a clue how we got here, but who cares?
    James: This is paradise!
    Meowth: For once, a happy ending!
    Team Rocket: Team Rocket signing off again! [they laugh happily]
    James: Do you have any sunscreen?
    Meowth: You know, I'd really like to go sailing in one of them catamarans. Ha-ha!

## Pikachu's Vacation

    Brock: It's a Pokémon paradise!
    Misty: This looks like tons of fun!
    Ash Ketchum: Yeah, the Pokémon love it. Just keep an eye on Togepi, okay, Pikachu?
    Pokémon: Togepi, the egg Pokémon. It exhibits a low tolerance for hunger. It is able to communicate this condition in a very effective manner.
    [Togepi bursts out crying, making the other Pokémon cover their ears]
    Meowth: (Yawns, and sleeps with other Team Rocket Pokémon) This is the perfect place for a comfy catnap. (Pikachu and Raichu storm up, still fighting) Ooh, what’s that? (They blast through Team Rocket, who burst into the air and fall back down, and zoom off) Hey! What’s the rush?
    Pokédex: Preliminary analysis: Pokémon, by nature, are friendly creatures and prefer cooperation to confrontation. Final conclusion: Despite earlier uncertainties, Pokémon vacations are highly recommended. Pokédex observation unit now deactivating.
