Overview

The devious leader of Team Rocket Organization, Giovanni, has a fervent ambition to take control of the Pokémon world through both financial and military means. To achieve his military needs, he covets a Pokémon stronger and more adept than any other, a veritable living war weapon, so he enlists a scientist named Doctor Fuji to create this being from the DNA of the ancestor of all Pokémon and most powerful of Pokémon, Mew, which Fuji had found on a previous jungle expedition. Fuji accepts, for he is heavily into the prospect of cloning to create and restore life itself, because of his love for his deceased daughter, Amber.

Plot

The tragic story of how Dr. Fuji became a Team Rocket scientist and created Mewtwo. This is a prologue to the "Mewtwo Returns" special (internationally); originally a prologue to the "Mewtwo Strikes Back" movie (Japan only).
