New Island

New Island is an anime-exclusive location featured in Mewtwo Strikes Back as Team Rocket's secret cloning laboratory.
== History ==
It was operated by Dr. Fuji, a scientist who was forced into working for Giovanni in exchange for research funding. It was here that the artificially created Pokémon, Mewtwo, was born, from a fossilized eyebrow of Mew. In its anger at the humans' ideals, Mewtwo destroyed the facility on the island, proceeding to transform it into his base of operations. He then restored the cloning facility, calling on the strongest Pokémon trainers to venture to New Island, in order to clone their Pokémon. After witnessing the lengths Ash would go to protect his Pokémon, Mewtwo saw the error of his ways, and left New Island with the clones. In a post-credits' scene, Team Rocket were seen venturing through the abandoned New Island, which in disuse became enveloped in plant life.
== The ReBoot Multiuniverse ==
On one fateful day, Mewtwo and Akari visited the abandoned isle sometime after the events of Mewtwo Strikes Back. Suddenly, a defective, broken computer went awry, and she was caught in its eruptive field, taking her straight to Mainframe! Later on, she and a few of her Pokémon on hand noticed the sparkles in the sky and as they went thru them, after Akari left the former feuding Bob and Dot behind for a while and returned to New Island. Since then, they transported all of their Pokémon there, until the Net War.
Years after, Mewtwo visited the isle and noticed the same PC going haywire, only this time, Porygon exited from it, wounded as it collapsed and fell apart on the ground. Mewtwo repaired it with whatever tools and gizmos he could use, and he invited Akari there before she should train Porygon and recruit their fellow Pokemon before the fight against Trojan Megabyte and soon Gnosis.
== The Sheikah's Curse ==
It was visited once by Mewtwo after seven years in Hyrule when he finally activated machinery to clone and repopulate the Gerudo and the Sheikah. Little did he knew; he was about to awaken an ancient evil.
== Trivia ==
* In the movie, the distance that the trainers journeyed from Kanto to New Island was shown to be very short. However, this was before the change that saw New Island become positioned between the Sevii Islands and Orange Archipelago respectively.
* New Island appeared in the music video for Celestial by Ed Sheeran.
