Everyone is unique in their own way.
Ash (to Mewtwo) You're one of a kind too. Everybody is.
Mewtwo's Struggle with Emotional Burden
Mewtwo I'm glad that you are safe.
Clone Pikachu Pika.
Mewtwo But I cannot bear this much longer.
Ash Mewtwo.
Mewtwo How do you know my name?
Ash We heard it from Meowth and Meowth told us you saved my Pikachu. There's gotta be someway we can help you now.
Mewtwo Stop these machines.
Misty (at the blue machine) Brock, maybe there's a cutoff switch.
Brock (at the red machine with Ash) It's no use. They're all sealed up!
Ash Well, we'll have to tackle them. (tackles the red machine)
Brock Hit it harder! (tackles it also)
Brock (to Mewtwo) We can't stop it!
Mewtwo Then I must use what remains of my power. Either these machines will be destroyed or I will be.
Mewtwo's Indifference Towards Human Safety
Mewtwo You ask why I saved the humans? For our own protection. An accident would bring human rescuers. We might be discovered and our peace disrupted. You believe there is another reason? That I felt concerned? That I cared about the safety of those humans? I assure you, that is not the case. I could never feel compassion for humans.
Brock's Creative Use of a Frying Pan
Brock Hey, I know! I'll use my trusty frying pan... as a drying pan!
Existence and Belonging in a Shared World
Mewtwo For these Pokémon, life as it should be. They were born into this world. It is their home. They belong here. We were not born as they were. We are not of this world. We do not belong in it. But where do we belong? Do we truly deserve to belong here as much as the other Pokémon do? We are unlike the others. Yes, I am sure the moon is round and bright to those Butterfree just as it is to us and other Pokémon who sees it. If we see the moon as they do, why can we not see the Earth as they do? Yes, why?
Conflict Over Memory Manipulation Among Characters
Ash You're gonna make us forget?
Meowth You can't do that!
James Meowth, be quiet!
Jessie Don't stick your nose into this. Meowth!
Meowth It's got nothing to do with my nose! It's what all the other Pokémon have to say!
Meowth It's only natural to wonder about who you are and where you came from and someday these little ones are going to want some answers. Only there won't be any. NOT IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE FORGET!
[looks at a baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn]
Meowth So what if their parents are clones? They're all living creatures. They deserve to live. And they deserve to know about themselves just as much you, me or anybody does! That's what we think!
Clone Meowth Meow!
Ash I think we should remember too. Meowth is right!
Brock And just forgetting about things doesn't change the fact that they happened.
Misty Don't you think everybody deserves to know who they are and where they came from?
Togepi Togepree!
[pokes out from Misty's bag]
Mewtwo Yes, they deserve to remember. If we are able to look into the future as other Pokèmon do, we must also look into the past. The shame of that past is not ours, it belongs to those who used our past to set us apart, to ensure the safety of all of my fellow Pokèmon and of this healing place. I will only clear the memories of those who seek to destroy them.
[nods]
Mewtwo Only they shall forget.
[looks over Giovanni, Double 009, Persian and the Team Rocket Combat Unit]
Exploring Power and Purpose
Mewtwo So this is my power, but what is my purpose?
A Lasting Memory of Connection
Mewtwo (to Ash) I will remember you....always.
The Importance of Memory and Identity
Mewtwo Yes, they deserve to remember. If we are able to look into the future as other Pokèmon do, we must also look into the past. The shame of that past is not ours, it belongs to those who used our past to set us apart, to ensure the safety of all of my fellow Pokèmon and of this healing place. I will only clear the memories of those who seek to destroy them. Only they shall forget.
The Futility of Battling Pokémon
Mewtwo There is nothing to be gained from such battling. You are the same as the other Pokémon. Neither stronger nor weaker. You proved that the last time we met.
The Futility of Fighting
Mewtwo (to Clone Pikachu) No. Fighting is senseless.
A Call Across Time and Space
Mewtwo If you hear my voice, know that it is my spirit calling across time and space...to yours.
The Futility of Battle in Pokémon
Mewtwo No, fighting is senseless.
Clone Pikachu (charges to Pikachu and jumps at Pikachu)
Mewtwo (uses Psychic on Clone Pikachu who's just inches from Pikachu and gently places it on the ground) There's is nothing to be gained from such battling. You are the same as the Pokèmon. Neither stronger nor weaker. You proved that the last time we met.
Pikachu (approaches Clone Pikachu but it slaps Pikachu away)
Jessie This is awfully confusing.
James This is like a sequel to a movie I missed.
Mewtwo (glares at Team Rocket)
Jessie Don't mind us. We're just looking for a balloon repair shop. Hehe.
Mewtwo I searched for a place to live in secret and in peace. Now these humans have found us again. Perhaps we shall never find peace.
James I know you're psychic but have we met before?
Clone Pikachu (talking to Mewtwo)
Meowth (translating) It's saying their only chance is to stand their ground. If they don't their home will be taken away from them. They gotta battle.
Meowth THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A BATTLE?!?! THIS IS WAR?!?! Gahh! What did I get into?
Meowth Pikachu's right. There's no reason for you Pokèmon to fight us Pokèmon.
Clone Meowth Meow.
[scratches its ear then starts staring at the moon]
Meowth Yeah, it is a full moon. Sure is pretty, huh?
[looks at the moon also]
Mewtwo The moon reflects the light of the sun. Pokèmon born into this world may walk freely in that sun. But we were created, reflections. We are shadows. Perhaps we must not live in sunlight but in the shadows of moonlight.
Meowth The moon looks awfully bright tonight.
Meowth It's saying, "It ain't fair that we have to live like shadows.
Meowth This place is beautiful. But beyond this place is a big, wide world.
Clone Pikachu Pika pi.
[looks out into the lake]
Meowth A bright world.
Meowth You know that world don't you Pikachu?! You were born in it and you can live in it! Anyway and anywhere you want!
Meowth But because of what we are we can't live in that world like you do!
Meowth Whatever we do or wherever we go, we don't belong.
Jessie I know that feeling. Ever since I was a little girl the world has always treated me as a misfit, as an outcast, as someone who doesn't really belong. SO PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!
James And make it double! We unite all peoples, we extend our reach, we blast off! So surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth Meowth that's rig- Hahaha.
[sees Clone Meowth looking at him with a confused face]
Mewtwo Enough! We are what we are. We will stay here and live in peace, if we can.
Existential Uncertainty and Identity Reflection
Mewtwo I do not know what I am, and soon it may not matter.
Acceptance of Identity and Desire for Peace
Mewtwo Enough! We are what we are. We will stay here and live in peace, if we can.
Embracing Shadows Over Sunlight
Mewtwo The moon reflects the light of the sun. Pokémon born into this world may walk freely in that sun. But we were created, reflections. We are shadows. Perhaps we should not live in sunlight, but in the shadows of moonlight.
Mewtwo's Determination to Sacrifice for Freedom
Mewtwo Then I must use what remains of my power. Either these machines will be destroyed or I will be.
A Departure Is Imminent
Mewtwo The time has come for us to depart.
A Lasting Memory of Gratitude
Mewtwo Thank you. I will remember you always.
Defending a Sacred Place with Power
Mewtwo You will not defile this place. It does not belong to you, anymore than I do. This place has given me new life. Now I shall use all of my power to defend it.
Confusion Over Movie Sequels
Jessie This is awfully confusing.
James This is like the sequel to a movie I missed...
The Value of Helping Others
Ash (to Mewtwo) Do you always need a reason to help someone?
Acknowledging Uniqueness in Humanity
Mewtwo (to Ash) Perhaps you are unique, a unique human. One of a kind.
Mewtwo's Reflection on Belonging and Life
Mewtwo I have seen this place. I have been here before. Was it...in my dreams? But this is no dream. I feel new life rising within me. Mew? If these waters have the same restoring effect on me, as they do on other Pokémon, Pokémon who belong into this world. Could it be that this world is my rightful place too?
The Quest for Peace and Solitude
Mewtwo I searched for a place to live in secret and in peace. Now these humans have found us again. Perhaps we shall never find peace.
Friendship and Gratitude in Unlikely Places
Ash Thanks guys, keep going.
[to Bulbasaur and Chikorita]
Mewtwo Why? Why are you helping me?
Ash Well for one thing, you saved my Pikachu. That's a good reason.
Mewtwo The only one?
Ash Do you always need a reason to help somebody?
Mewtwo Perhaps you are unique, a unique human. One of a kind.
Ash You're one of a kind too. Everybody is.
Mewtwo I do not know what I am, and soon it may not matter.
[chuckles lightly]
