The episode starts with the gang looking at the block entrance of the Cerulean Cave with serious expressions while the narrator begins talking. "After three long hard battles with the legendary birds, Jessie was able to collect the three feathers she needed to enter Cerulean Cave. However, a much stronger Pokémon is waiting from the inside. Will Jessie beat Mewtwo and bring everything back to normal or lose trying?"
The title screen shows.
"Legendary Battle to End All Battles"
Jessie walks up to the blocked-off stone blocking the entrance of Cerulean Cave with markings as she looks at the fire, ice, and lightning feather in her hand. "So I just insert the feathers into the correct three feather slots right?"
James nods in agreement. "It seems like it."
Jessie inserts the fire feather in the feather slot above the Moltres marking, the ice feather in the feather slot above the Articuno marking and finally the lightning feather in the feather slot above the Zapdos marking, but after a few seconds, nothing happens. "What?" Jessie questioned in confusion.
"Did you make sure you insert the feathers in the correct slot?" Domino asked.
Jessie nods, still in disbelief that the cave hasn't opened up yet. "Yes! I insert them in the correct legendary bird markings! What's going on?!"
"Don't tell me I fought those legendary birds for nothing?!" Meowth questioned, also in disbelief.
James starts thinking. "That can't be the case, Meowth. Professor Oak told us that to be able to access Cerulean Cave, we need to collect the feathers of the three legendary birds, which we did." He begins scratching his head from being confused. "But what's going on?"
Ditto, in Domino's arms, tries to tell the gang something. "Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!"
"Ditto wants you to put them on the ground, Domino. They want to demonstrate something." Meowth translated.
"Oh okay then." Domino puts Ditto on the ground. "What are you trying to tell us, Ditto?"
"Ditto!" Ditto transforms into Articuno. "Ditto!" Then it transforms into Zapdos. "Ditto!" Then it transforms into Moltres. "Ditto!" And then it transforms back into its original form. "Ditto!"
Meowth translates what Ditto said once more. "He said 'Watch! Articuno! Zapdos! Moltres! Order!'"
"Wait, so Ditto is telling me to insert Articuno's feather first, Zapdos' feather second and Moltres' feather last?" Jessie questioned.
James shrugs. "I guess so. Wouldn't hurt to try, Jessie."
Jessie removes all three feathers from the feather slots. This time she inserts the ice feather first, then the lightning feather second, and the fire feather last. "There!"
The blocked-off stone of the cave starts shaking much to the gang's shock as Jessie quickly steps back. The blocked-off stone starts sliding sideways as the entrance of Cerulean Cave is now opened to the gang as they gasp in shock.
"How did it work this time and not the first time?!" Meowth questioned in disbelief.
James thinks for a few seconds before cracking the code. "I got it!"
"You know why it didn't work the first time, James?" Jessie questioned.
James nods and starts explaining. "Yep! Look at the end for each legendary bird. Articuno ends with 'uno', the Spanish word for one! Zapdos ends with 'dos', the Spanish word for two! Finally, Moltres ends with 'tres' the Spanish word for three!"
"Oh wow, that's pretty clever I'm not gonna lie. It's like some secret code or something." Meowth said.
Ditto picks up Ditto and smiles. "And you managed to crack it before anyone else! I'm so happy you're on our side, Ditto!"
"Ditto!" Ditto cries out happily.
"We should go in before it closes on us or something," Jessie says as she and the rest go inside Cerulean Cave.
The scene cuts to the river behind the entrance of Cerulean Cave. A periscope was seen, oblivious to the gang earlier. It's revealed to be the Team Rocket trio inside of their Team Rocket submarine. "The twerps are making a move inside the cave. We should follow them." Mondo says.
Both Cassidy and Butch just sighed. "What's the point of trying to steal Meowth again, Mondo? I believe we're gonna be fired after the Team Rocket base is destroyed."
"Can't we just relax a little bit before our impending firing?" Butch asked.
Mondo growls. "Idiots! This isn't about Meowth, we're going to get Ditto back from those twerps!"
"Ditto betrayed us, they're with the twerps now, Mondo. You gotta learn how to let some things go." Cassidy says.
Mondo shakes his head. "No! Ditto didn't betray us! The reason why Ditto is working for the twerps is that they want to free our Pokémon from being brainwashed the right way!"
Butch raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Ditto felt like it was wrong to forcefully make our Pokémon listen to us with those Team Rocket control collars. I believe once this mess is all cleared up, Ditto will return to us." Mondo explained.
"Well, at least we will have something to do other than just sitting in this submarine all day," Cassidy says.
Through the periscope, Mondo sees the entrance slowly closing back up as his eyes widen. "Guys, we need to hurry, it's closing back up!"
"WHAT?!" Both Cassidy and Butch screamed out.
Team Rocket's submarine surfaces as the hatch on top opens and the trio jumps on the land before rushing to the entrance of Cerulean Cave. "We have to sprint faster if we want to make it!" Mondo exclaimed.
The Team Rocket trio barely slips into Cerulean Cave as the entrance fully closes behind them with the trio catching their breaths. "That was a close one…" Cassidy says.
Butch's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, are we trapped in this cave forever now?!"
Cassidy glares at Mondo. "Excellent plan, Mondo. How are we supposed to get out of here?!"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. We're only here for Ditto, let's go!" Mondo replied before he started to walk off. Cassidy and Butch start following him.
The scene cuts to where the gang is in the cave as they come across a huge body of water. "How are we supposed to cross this lake?" Jessie questioned.
Domino flicks Jessie from the back of her head. "Did you forget already? There's a Pokémon that can transform into anything!" She points at Ditto in her arms.
"Ditto!" Ditto cries out cheerfully.
Jessie rubs the back of her head from the flick. "You didn't have to flick me, Domino!"
James immediately gets in the middle. "Hey! Let's not fight! Domino, tell Ditto to transform into a water Pokémon that can transport all of us across this late."
Domino chuckles and winks. "I already have a Pokémon in mind." She places Ditto in the water. "Ditto, can you transform into a Lapras for us?"
Ditto nods and then it glows white, transforming into a Lapras. "Ditto!"
Meowth rolls his eyes. "Of course, you would choose Lapras."
"Lapras is a great transport Pokémon. That's why it's my favorite water-type Pokémon. Come on, let's get over this lake." Domino hops onto Ditto-Lapras as Jessie, James, and Meowth follow. "Alright Ditto, swim!" She commanded.
"Ditto!" Ditto-Lapras begins swimming across the lake with the gang on its back.
It cuts to where the Team Rocket trio is in the cave as Mondo hears something, causing them to stop dead in their tracks. "I hear something, hide!" The trio quickly hides behind a stone nearby.
A wild red-eyed Graveler was seen walking by while shouting aggressively. "GRAVELER! GRAVELER! GRAVELER!"
Once the wild red-eyed Graveler passes by, Team Rocket peeks out from their hiding place with sighs of relief.
"That was a close one, I do not want to run into a brainwashed Pokémon right now," Cassidy says before turning around and running into another wild Pokémon behind her. She looks up and it's a normal wild Rhydon staring directly down at her.
"Rhydon!" The wild Rhydon cried out.
"AH, A RHYDON!" Team Rocket screamed out as they held each other in fear and closed their eyes to accept their fate.
Mondo realizes something as he opens his eyes back up. "Wait a minute! That Rhydon didn't sound brainwashed at all!"
As Cassidy and Butch also opened their eyes in confusion, the trio saw that the supposedly wild Rhydon was gone and looked around. There was glittering slowly falling where the wild Rhydon was at. The trio looks up, and they see a glimpse of a pink Pokémon before it quickly teleports out of view. "That wasn't a Rhydon…" Cassidy stated.
The scene cuts back to the gang on the back of the Ditto-Lapras as they see a rocky platform that is surrounded by the lake of the cave.
In the distance, Jessie spots a Pokémon standing on it. "Ditto, can you land on that platform over there?" She asked.
Ditto-Lapras nods in agreement. "Ditto!"
"What is it, Jessie?" Domino asked.
"I think I see a Pokémon in the distance, I think it might be Mewtwo on that platform!" Jessie answered.
"Could it be Mewtwo?" James questioned.
"I guess we have to get closer to find out," Meowth answered.
Domino points at the platform. "Ditto, can you swim to that platform over there?"
"Ditto!" Ditto-Lapras cried out in joy. The transformed Pokémon starts swimming to the rocky platform.
As Ditto-Lapras arrives at the rocky platform, Jessie hops off first and begins to walk up the slope. Meowth and James follow behind her up the slope as Domino turns around to Ditto-Lapras and holds out her hands with a smile.
"Ditto!" Ditto-Lapras transforms back into its original self, landing in Domino's arms.
"You did great, Ditto!" Domino says to Ditto before she also starts walking up the slope to catch up with the others.
The scene shows Mewtwo standing far from where Jessie and her friends arrived from the slope of the rocky platform. Mewtwo starts communicating telepathically to the gang. "So you finally arrived, humans… and a Meowth."
Jessie's eyes widened upon seeing Mewtwo on the other side of the rocky platform. "Mewtwo… it is you. Is it true, are you behind all this Pokémon brainwashing nonsense?"
Mewtwo nods. "Yes. I have the incredible power to control almost every Pokémon of the region to follow my orders and that is to get rid of all humans!"
Domino raises his fist in the air. "You can't do that!"
Mewtwo stares directly at Domino. "Foolish human. I have an army of Pokémon under my orders. I am a very powerful Pokémon, I could take over this world a few years ago if I wanted to back then, starting with Kanto, then Johto, and then the rest of the world!"
"Mewtwo, why do you want to do this?" James questioned. "You're doing nothing but killing innocent humans!"
Mewtwo starts explaining his reasons. "I was made by humans, cloned by another Pokémon species. I had my trust for humans but they only wanted me for my power! As I looked around the world seeing humans using Pokémon for their battles, I couldn't stand it. Being forced to listen to humans, reminded me of the times I was restrained by these said humans. So I had to do what I had to and that's brainwashing all Pokémon under my rules. Betray humans, don't listen to humans, and eliminate all humans! I made a deal with the legendary birds too, they will be free from my brainwashing if they promise to bring destruction across the Kanto region!"
"So that's why the legendary birds didn't seem brainwashed and were tied with Mewtwo from those stone markings!" James stated.
Meowth looks determined to battle. "Jess, I'm getting tired of this guy talking, let's battle 'em already!"
Jessie nods in response. "The world is counting on you, Meowth!"
Meowth gets in front of Jessie, staring down Mewtwo. "Just because you're very powerful doesn't mean I can't beat you!"
"Here's how this is going to work, Mewtwo. I challenge you to a battle and if I win, you restore every Pokémon under control back to normal and everything goes back to the way it was before you came along!" Jessie offered.
Mewtwo counteroffers. "And if I'm victorious, not only the rest of the world will be under my control, but all of you will officially be trapped in the cave forever, slowly dying out of starvation!"
Jessie grits her teeth before accepting Mewtwo's counteroffer. "Deal!"
"Jessie, please don't lose this battle! Our lives and the whole world are depending on you!" Domino shouted.
Jessie takes a deep breath. "I'll try, but it isn't going to be easy…"
"Me and Domino are right behind you, cheering you on, you got us!" James smiles and gives Jessie a thumbs-up. "Now go defeat Mewtwo!"
Jessie smiles back, giving James a thumbs up before turning to Meowth. "Ready, Meowth?"
Meowth nods. "Ready as ever, Jess, let's do it!"
Jessie starts with the first move. "Meowth, use Thunderbolt!"
Meowth's body starts flowing with electricity. "This is going to be shocking like that one time I defeated you in the Viridian Gym!" Then he sends electricity right at Mewtwo.
Mewtwo dodges the Thunderbolt by teleporting behind Meowth. "The only reason why you defeated me that one time is because I was held back from my real power with that iron suit!" They extend their hand and Meowth starts floating and choking.
Meowth starts coughing. "Stop it!" He coughs some more from being choked.
"Now you're experiencing my full power!" Mewtwo throws Meowth right into a big rock.
"Meowth!" The gang shouted.
Meowth slowly gets up. "I'm fine for now…"
"Quick Meowth, use Bite!" Jessie commanded next.
"On it!" Meowth starts rushing toward Mewtwo with its sharp teeth pointing at the genetic Pokémon.
Mewtwo scoffs. "Foolish Pokémon." They extend their hand as yellow stars appear from their hand and start hitting Meowth.
Meowth tries to block the yellow stars with his hands but keeps getting it. "Ack! Quit it!" He soon falls to the ground after getting hit after hit with a bunch of yellow stars.
"Mewtwo's Swift attack can't be dodged, Meowth might be in trouble here!" James stated.
Mewtwo teleports right next to Meowth, looking down on him while he is on the ground. "I don't know how you're immune to my brainwashing, but I'm going to make you be under my command!" Mewtwo extends their hand and makes Meowth float up to their height.
Meowth slowly starts opening his eyes. "Huh?"
Mewtwo's eyes begin glowing red. "That's right little Meowth, look into my eyes!"
"Meowth, whatever you do, don't look into Mewtwo's eyes!" Jessie ordered.
Meowth quickly looks down at the ground of the cave. "You're not going to brainwash me!"
Domino and James both look concerned. "If Mewtwo successfully brainwashes Meowth, then-"
Domino pauses from being worried as James finishes the sentence. "Then not only Jessie will lose the battle automatically and we're trapped in Cerulean Cave forever, but we will lose our buddy Meowth too!"
"You don't want to be under control by your leader, the current leader of all Pokémon now? Fine by me, I'll just end you right here, right now!" Mewtwo turns their hand into a fist, choking Meowth again.
"No! Not again!" Meowth starts coughing while being choked again as one of his sharp claws starts glowing white.
Jessie notices one of Meowth's claws going white and sharper, immediately commanding a move with a scream. "MEOWTH, USE SLASH!"
Meowth slashes Mewtwo right in the face, causing the genetic Pokémon to scream in pain, let go of Meowth under psychic powers, and stop choking him. The talking Pokémon lands on his feet. "Sorry, purple tail, but I already have a leader, and her name is Jessie!"
Jessie smiles in aww. "Meowth, that's probably the nicest thing you ever said to me!"
Mewtwo looks at Meowth in anger. "I'm gonna make you regret doing that, feline!" Both of his fists start glowing white before teleporting right behind Meowth.
Jessie quickly warns Meowth. "MEOWTH, BEHIND YOU, DODGE!"
"AH!" Meowth quickly jumps out of the way before Mewtwo can connect with one of his powered-up glowing fists.
However, as Mewtwo punches the ground, it causes the rocky platform to shake like an Earthquake, causing Jessie, Meowth, Domino, and James to stumble and fall.
Mewtwo teleports right behind Meowth as the talking Pokémon slowly gets up and then punches him with his other powered-up glowing fist, sending Meowth screaming and into a rock and taking a lot of damage.
"MEOWTH!" Jessie quickly gets up after stumbling, trying to rush to Meowth, but James stops her with a yell.
JESSIE, WAIT!" James yelled out, stopping Jessie dead in her tracks as he got up from the ground. "If you go to Meowth, that will count as forfeiting the battle; the world and our lives are on the line in this battle!"
"But…" Jessie looks at Meowth from the distance, who's extremely hurt. "Meowth…"
Domino gets up as well, looking down at Ditto in her arms with a concerned look. "Are you alright, Ditto?"
Ditto senses something that is currently present around the area as the transformed Pokémon starts looking around the area. "Ditto! Ditto!"
Domino raises an eyebrow. "What are you saying, Ditto? Do you sense something?"
Ditto looks at Domino and nods. "Ditto!"
Meowth looks beaten up, trying to stand up only to immediately set back down from being in a lot of pain. "Maybe these legendary Pokémon battles are finally getting to me…"
Mewtwo stares at Meowth from a distance, ready to deliver the final blow. "Any last words, feline?"
Meowth looks at his trainer. "Sorry, I didn't perform as well in this battle, Jess. Mewtwo's just too strong."
Jessie frowns, looking at Meowth. "Meowth…"
"Time to end this!" Mewtwo extends his hand at Meowth and yellow stars come flying out and heading directly towards the talking Pokémon.
Meowth closes his eyes and braces for impact, however, instead of hearing and feeling Mewtwo's Swift attack hit him, it sounds like they're being deflected. "Wait what?" He opens his eyes and right in front of him is a pink bubble formed, protecting Meowth from Swift.
The bubble disappears and it's revealed to be Mew that saved Meowth. "Mew!"
"MEW!" The gang shouted in shock.
Mewtwo's eye twitches out of annoyance. "It's the Pokémon that I'm based on… I don't get it, I was cloned from you! You should be on MY side more than anything!"
Mew looks back at Meowth. "Mew! Mew!"
"Jess, Mew says that he wants to take over my position of battling Mewtwo." Meowth translated.
Jessie nods. "You look tired and badly damaged, we might as well."
"Good, I needed an actual challenge!" Mewtwo extends their hand, causing Meowth to float, and then throws him where his trainer is and he starts screaming.
"MEOWTH!" Jessie quickly catches Meowth before he hits the ground and then puts him down.
Meowth looks at Mew. "Mew… teach this so-called 'powerful Pokémon' a lesson!"
Mew nods in response. "Mew!" It looks directly at Mewtwo.
"I've wanted this battle ever since I found out that I was cloned from you." Mewtwo forms two balls of purple and black energy form in each of their hands and it fires them at the Mew.
"Mew, dodge it!" Jessie commanded.
Mew teleports out of the way to dodge the two Shadow Balls from Mewtwo. "Mew!"
"Jess, Mew said it can also transform into other Pokémon just like Ditto!" Meowth translated.
"Ditto!" Ditto cried out in joy.
Jessie quickly commands her first move with Mew. "Mew, transform into Scizor!"
Mew glows white and then transforms into Scizor. The new species Pokémon copies its cry. "Scizor!"
"Jessie had Mew transform into Scizor, one of her Pokémon!" Domino stated.
James nods. "Scizor's bug typing is strong against Mewtwo's psychic abilities, giving Mew the advantage by transforming into Scizor."
"Just because you have the advantage, doesn't mean you're going to win against me!" Mewtwo forms two purple and blank energy balls and sends them at Mew-Scizor's way.
"Mew, dodge them with Scizor's agility!" Jessie countered.
Mew-Scizor flies out of the way, dodging each Shadow Ball Mewtwo throws at it from their hands.
"Now use Swords Dance!" Jessie commanded.
"Scizor!" Mew-Scizor crosses its pincers across its chest as a bunch of light-blue swords surround the new-species Pokémon and starts spinning around in circles, boosting its attack before stopping and fading out.
"Looks like Jessie is rather trying to boost Mew's attack other than attacking immediately," James stated.
"It could be a good strategy to beat Mewtwo," Domino added.
"I'm going to enjoy your suffering, Mew! I might be a clone of you made in a lab, but I'm much stronger!" Mewtwo extends his hand and a blast of fire comes right out from his palm and right towards Mew-Scizor.
"Mew, use Double Team!" Jessie immediately commanded.
"Scizor!" Mew-Scizor quickly makes copies of itself. The illusions make a circle around Mewtwo, surrounding them.
"You're not gonna hide from me, Mew!" Mewtwo continues blasting out fire from his palm at each illusion one by one while turning around.
Jessie waits at the right time for Mewtwo's back to be turned from the real Mew-Scizor. "Fury Cutter!"
The real Mew-Scizor dashes at Mewtwo while their back is turned and slashes the genetic Pokémon with its red pincers. The illusions all disappeared after Mew-Scizor attacked.
"AH!" Mewtwo screams in pain from the super-effective move and they fall to one knee.
Meowth starts cheering for Mew while on the sidelines now. "That's right Mew, give it all you got!"
Jessie immediately tries to go for the finish as she points. "End this now Mew, go for another Fury Cutter!"
"Scizor!" Mew-Scizor starts fly-dashing straight towards a weakened Mewtwo while one of its pincers glows white, ready to strike.
Mewtwo clutches their fist. "You're not beating me that easy!" The genetic Pokémon quickly teleports out of the way to dodge the Fury Cutter.
Mew-Scizor stops dead in its tracks, turning around and facing Mewtwo.
Mewtwo expands a light green energy field from its body and after a few seconds, the green energy field disappears. "Much better!"
Domino's eyes widened in confusion. "What just happened? What was that energy field and why does Mewtwo look all better?"
"Mewtwo used Recover to recover all the damage they received from Mew's Fury Cutter attack earlier." James answered.
"SO ALL OF THAT SUPER-EFFECTIVE DAMAGE IS NOW GONE?!" Domino yelled out in disbelief.
Meowth now looks more serious. "I know that I couldn't stand a chance against Mewtwo without the armor holding them back. Making the switch was the right call!"
Jessie grits her teeth in frustration. "All that damage for nothing!" Then she commands her next move. "Mew, transform into Gengar!"
Mew glows white once more and now is transformed into Gengar, mocking its cry too. "Gengar!"
"Gengar's ghost typing should also be strong against Mewtwo," Domino stated.
James nods. "Right, but you're forgetting that Gengar is also a poison type, which Psychic types have the advantage over."
Domino sighs. "I forgot that part."
"You're gonna regret doing that." Mewtwo extends its arm right at Mew-Gengar.
A blue barrier surrounds Mew-Gengar as the new species Pokémon can't move at all. "Gengar?!"
"Time to send you to the afterlife!" Mewtwo sends Mew-Gengar flying to a big rock with their psychic powers.
"Mew, don't worry, I promise!" Jessie shouted out.
Mew-Gengar was heading to the big rock, but the new species Pokémon didn't look worried at all because Mew-Gengar simply fazed through the big rock.
Mewtwo expresses in shock. "What?!" Then they start levitating towards the big rock.
"Now Mew, Shadow Ball!" Jessie commanded.
A purple and black of energy above the rock, signaling Mew-Gengar used Shadow Ball behind the rock and then it hits Mewtwo right in the chest.
"ARGH!" Mewtwo drops to the ground from levitating in pain.
Mew-Gengar floats behind the rock and appears to be giggling at Mewtwo. "Gengar! Gengar!"
Mewtwo quickly sends a Shadow Ball of his own from his palm right at Mew-Gengar. "Here's mine!"
"Gengar!" Mewtwo's Shadow Ball hits Mew-Gengar, causing it to hit the ground and take damage.
Mewtwo's hand extends once more, using its psychic powers to cause Mew-Gengar to levitate in the air and not move. "This is your end!" The genetic Pokémon starts powering up a purple and black energy ball in their other palm, getting ready to use a more powerful Shadow Ball.
"Jess, do something quickly before Mewtwo fully powers up their Shadow Ball!" Meowth says, worried.
Jessie immediately commands her next move. "Mew, transform into Blastoise, and withdraw into your shell!"
"Gengar!" Mew-Gengar glows white and then transforms into Blastoise while withdrawing into its shell exactly at the moment Mewtwo releases its powerful Shadow Ball.
The move reflects off of Mew-Blastoise's shell and ends up hitting Mewtwo, bringing the genetic Pokémon to the ground. Mewtwo starts talking in their thoughts. "Why is Mew battling for these humans? Mew should've been on my side!"
Domino perks up. "I just noticed something. First Jessie had Mew transformed into Scizor, then Gengar, and now Blastoise!"
"Jessie is having Mew transform to all of her Pokémon in her party, let's see how that goes," James added.
Mewtwo stands back up and faces Mew. "Mew, I am a clone of you, which means you should understand more than me that these humans are nothing but monsters! Stop fighting for them!"
Jessie grits her teeth. "Don't listen to Mewtwo, Mew! Use Hydro Pump!"
"Blastoise!" Mew-Blastoise ignores Mewtwo's claims and fires a jet stream of water from its canons right to them.
"Foolish Pokémon, you will pay for that!" Mewtwo extends their hand and a bolt of electricity comes out of it and completely conducts with the jet stream of water that was heading towards them.
"BLASTOISE!" Mew-Blastoise takes extreme amounts of super-effective damage from the electricity.
"What just happened?!" Jessie questioned in disbelief.
"Mewtwo used Thunder to conduct the electricity of the Hydro Pump to use the move to his advantage!" James answered.
Mewtwo once more expands a light green energy field from its body to heal itself from the damage. "No matter how hard you try, Mew, I will come on top!"
"Mewtwo just healed itself again!" Jessie then looks at Mew-Blastoise who's taking deep breaths from all of the damage it took and starts quietly talking to herself. "And Mew looks like it's about to faint. One move and it's game over, how am I going to beat Mewtwo?!"
Oblivious to the gang, Mewtwo, and Mew-Blastoise, the Team Rocket trio is now secretly watching the battle from peeking over the rocky slope. Cassidy starts silently talking. "Do you think the twerp can beat Mewtwo like last time with the boss?"
"I don't know, it doesn't have that iron suit from before," Butch replied, also silently.
Mondo looks over to see his Ditto in Domino's arms. "I got to get Ditto back!" He was about to go to Ditto.
Cassidy grabs Mondo before he can. "You idiot, we can't expose ourselves to the twerps right now! Who knows what Mewtwo will do to us if we interrupt the battle!"
"Mew, transform into Rapidash!" Jessie commanded.
Mew then proceeds to transform into Rapidash. "Neigh!"
"Rapidash is next, let's see what Mew can do as Rapidash?" Domino questioned.
Meowth speaks inside his mind. "Come on Mew, you can do it!"
"One more hit and you're done!" Mewtwo makes two purple and black energy balls to throw towards Mew-Rapidash.
"Mew, dodge them with your ability!" Jessie commanded.
"Neigh!" Mew-Rapidash runs out of the way to dodge Mewtwo's two Shadow Balls.
Mewtwo extends their hand, using their psychic powers to stop Mew-Rapidash from running. "Got you! Now it's time to end this once and for all!"
"Mew, use Fire Spin!" Jessie quickly commanded.
Mew-Rapidash opens its mouth and releases a spiraling flame to Mewtwo.
"ARGH!" Mewtwo drops Mew-Rapidash to the ground after getting hit by the Fire Spin then another spiral flame surrounds the genetic Pokémon, dealing even more damage. "Did that move hit me twice?!"
"Every time a minute goes by, you take damage from Fire Spin!" Jessie informed them.
"Jessie is using Archer's strategy with Moltres to Mewtwo, do you think this will work?" Domino questioned.
"Your strategy of slowly damaging me isn't going to work!" Mewtwo turns to the lake surrounding the rocky platform they are standing on, extending their hand. Mewtwo uses their psychic powers to make a gallon of water levitate towards them and drop it on themselves, completely stopping the Fire Spin. "Much better!"
Domino sighs. "Well, there goes that strategy…"
"Looks like Jessie to think of another one to beat Mewtwo," James added.
Jessie speaks inside her mind. "That's right, drench yourself in water." She commands the same move out loud. "Use Fire Spin again, Mew!"
"Neigh!" Mew-Rapidash opens its mouth once more to send a spiraling flame at Mewtwo.
"You're not trapping me in a fire vortex again!" Mewtwo raises its hand and creates a purple energy barrier around themselves, as the Fire Spin gets deflected off.
The Fire Spin starts heading towards the Team Rocket trio. "Duck!" Cassidy warned.
Cassidy and Mondo both duck as Butch starts looking around for a Psyduck. "A Psyduck?" Before getting pulled down by Cassidy. The Fire Spin goes into the lake where steam rises from it.
Jessie speaks from her mind once more. "This next fire move has to burn Mewtwo, I hope I'm lucky." She commands her next move out loud. "Mew, use Agility!"
"Neigh!" Mew-Rapidash starts running around Mewtwo in circles.
Mewtwo tries to follow Mew-Rapidash with their head, only to give up for a few seconds. "Your strategy of trying to confuse me will not work!" They extend their hand and yellow stars appear out of Mewtwo's palm, flinging to Mew-Rapidash.
Jessie clutches her fist. "Now Mew, use Fire Blast!"
Mew-Rapidash stops in its tracks to fire a blast of fire from its mouth at Mewtwo which forms into a kanji.
Mewtwo quickly turns around to try to extend their hand to block the attack, but the Fire Blast hits them, causing Mewtwo to grunt in pain. "It's going to take a lot more to-" The fire surrounds them, dealing more damage and interrupting Mewtwo as they're now burnt.
Jessie clutches his fist with a smile. "Yes, it did it."
Mewtwo does the same thing they did earlier; use their psychic powers to levitate water from the lake to dump on themselves, drenching in more water to stop the burning. "Fire conditions are not going to work on me, human"
"Alright Mew, now transform into Electabuzz!" Jessie commanded.
Mew now transforms into Electabuzz, also impersonating its cry. "Elebububu!"
"Take this!" Mewtwo extends their hand and yellow stars come out of their palm right to Mew-Electabuzz.
"Mew, counter it with your own Swift attack!" Jessie countered.
"Elebububu!" Mew-Electabuzz opens its mouth and yellow stars shoot out as well, as both Mewtwo's and Mew's Swift attacks are colliding.
Jessie immediately commands her next move. "Now use Thunder!"
Mew-Electabuzz gathers electricity in between the horns on its head, and it fires a blast of yellow electricity from its horns at Mewtwo while still blasting Swift from its mouth.
"Barrier!" Mewtwo stops with its Swift attack to raise its hand to create a purple energy barrier around itself, deflecting the Thunder.
The Thunder was now heading to the slope the Team Rocket trio was hiding at. "Not again!" Cassidy says before she and her partners-in-crime duck to avoid it.
Mondo grumbles. "When is this battle going to be over? I want my Ditto back already from those twerps."
Butch points next to Mondo. "Well just look right next to you."
"What?" Mondo looks next to him and a wild Ditto is there.
"Ditto." The wild Ditto cried.
Mondo looks at Butch with an annoyed expression. "This isn't my Ditto, Butch."
"Take a look." Cassidy pointed out as Butch and Mondo looked where she was pointing at.
The trio saw a bunch of wild Ditto who were also secretly watching the battle over the slope. "When did all of this wild Ditto get here?" Butch questioned.
"Who knows and who cares, let's just keep watching the battle," Mondo says as the trio goes back to watching the battle.
"I gotta land an electric move before the water dries up, maybe I can paralyze Mewtwo." Jessie thought to herself.
"What's you're thinking about, Jess?" Meowth questioned.
"I need to find a way to land an electric move on Mewtwo when they at least expect it so Mewtwo doesn't block it with Barrier," Jessie answered.
Mewtwo starts talking to Mew "I don't understand you, Mew. I was cloned by you, I was made by your DNA. We should be working together on wiping out the human race for what these humans are doing to these Pokémon, not against each other, Mew!"
Mew-Electabuzz starts replying but with its cry. "Mew! Mew! Mew!"
"You think Pokémon like to battle?! Do you think Pokémon like their freedom to be stripped away by some capturing device?! I'm doing these Pokémon a favor! What Pokémon wants that?" Mewtwo questioned.
Meowth gets an idea and speaks up. "I do!"
Mewtwo stares directly at Meowth. "Quiet, feline!"
Meowth shakes his head. "No, I will not be quiet! Mewtwo, I do like to battle! I love being Jessie's Pokémon! Yes, I know my freedom is gone, but all I have to do is ask Jess to release me and she will, but I don't, because I love being Jessie's Pokémon!"
"Meowth…" Jessie smiles in delight while shedding a tear.
Domino speaks up. "I'm sure my Pokémon love to be my trainer, including my baby Azurill!"
James nods and also speaks up. "Same with mine!"
"You two are humans and not Pokémon! You don't get to have an opinion!" Mewtwo shouted, angrily.
"But I am a Pokémon!" Meowth spoke up once more. "My life was terrible before I came to Jessie's Pokémon because I love adventure and showing other Pokémon that I am strong!"
"What about all the Pokémon being used for criminals to do criminal things?! You think Pokémon also like that, feline?" Mewtwo questioned once more.
This time, Mondo's Ditto speaks up from Domino's arms. "Ditto!"
Domino looks down and gasps. "Ditto!"
Mewtwo now stares at Ditto. "What?! What do you mean you love it?!"
Ditto plops down from Domino's arms and speaks up some more. "Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!"
Mondo starts shedding tears. "Ditto… thank you."
"What do you mean? You don't even know what it said?" Cassidy questioned.
"Yeah." Mondo wipes his tears away with his shoulder. "But a real Ditto trainer knows what their Ditto said without knowing."
Butch rolls his eyes before getting spooked by all the Ditto moving. "Ah!"
All the Ditto start revealing themselves from the slope, forming a complete circle around the battlefield as they start shouting their cries repeatedly. "Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!"
Mewtwo starts covering their ears, looking around the Ditto circle. "No! All of you, stop pretending to like humans! GAH! It can't be! No! No! NO!"
"MEW, USE THUNDER!" Jessie yelled out.
"MEW!" Mew-Electabuzz once more gathers electricity in between the horns on its head, and it fires a blast of yellow electricity from its horns at Mewtwo.
Once the electricity hits Mewtwo, the genetic Pokémon screams in intense pain from a powerful electric attack. "AHHHHHHHH!" Then falls to one knee.
James realizes Jessie's strategy. "That's Jessie's strategy! To use fire moves to get Mewtwo to completely suck themselves in water so that an electric attack from Electabuzz will deal some extreme damage!"
"That's so awesome! Way to go, Jessie!" Domino praised.
Mewtwo weakly looks at Jessie. "This can't be! I can't lose to a human. Who are you?!"
Jessie confidently responds to Mewtwo. "My name is Jessie. Even with your mind tricks and brainwashing on all Pokémon, I still found a way to reunite all of my Pokémon together to beat you! Mew, Thunder Punch!"
"Mew!" Mew-Electabuzz rubs its fists together to create an electric charge, walking up to Mewtwo and punching them right in the face, and then transforms back into its original self
Mewtwo falls to the ground, defeated, as Meowth, Domino, and James all run to Jessie to cheer and celebrate her victory. "You did it, Jessie!" Domino cheered.
"That was battling there!" Meowth added.
"That was a nice strategy to take down one of the strongest Pokémon, way to go!" James gives Jessie a thumbs up.
"Thanks, guys, but I couldn't beat Mewtwo without all of your help, especially with the Pokémon that came through the most." Jessie looks at Mew with a smile. "Thanks, Mew."
Mew cries out in delight. "Mew!"
Mondo immediately stops hiding behind a slope and runs up to his Ditto with his partners-in-crime following him from behind. "DITTO, IT'S ME!"
Mondo's Ditto looks and cries out in happiness and jumps into its trainer's arms. "Ditto!"
The gang then sees the Team Rocket trio, confused. "Team Rocket is here?" Jessie questioned in confusion.
"Wait, they survived from their secret base getting exploded?!" Domino also questioned.
"So they are," James answered.
"We got out of the building before the base Exploded, duh," Cassidy stated.
"You can't just write us out like that!" Butch added.
A light green energy field surrounds Mewtwo's fainted body as the gang and Team Rocket trio look. After the field disappears, Mewtwo slowly gets up to look to see Meowth and Ditto both clinging to their trainers.
"Aw shucks, don't tell me purple tail is up for round two!" Meowth says with a concerned look.
"I was wrong." Mewtwo then looks at Mew. "Especially since Mew, a Pokémon I was cloned with, defended these humans. Maybe they're not bad after all."
"Mewtwo…" Jessie slowly walks up to Mewtwo. "I know your first experience with humans ended up in a disaster, but not all humans are bad. There are some good ones too and we all deserve a life too with Pokémon."
Mewtwo nods. "I see that. I was so blinded by revenge that I forgot about the humans who are good and treat their Pokémon with friendship and kindness. To keep my word, every Pokémon will not be under my control anymore." They start to form a pink aura on their head.
Jessie takes a step back to the gang as Mewtwo releases the pink aura from their head releases and spreads throughout the Kanto region as we see a bunch of wild and trainers red-eyed Pokémon go back to normal.
"And now I shall send all of you back to your home place," Mewtwo says.
"What about you, Mewtwo, where are you going to go?" Jessie questioned.
Mewtwo responds. "I am going to go to find an island that's far away from society, so I can live the rest of my life alone and away from humans. It's a punishment that I must put myself through as an apology for causing so much destruction."
Mew floats up to Mewtwo. "Mew! Mew! Mew!"
Mewtwo's eyes widened. "What?! You say you want to live on the island with me?!"
Mew nods in delight and starts floating around Mewtwo. "Mew! Mew!"
Mewtwo chuckles. "Very well then, Mew." They look at Jessie. "Thank you, Jessie, for showing me the way to the truth."
Jessie nods. "No problem, Mewtwo."
Mewtwo extends their palm, and the gang and the Team Rocket trio all start glowing white as Mewtwo teleports them out of Cerulean Cave. The scene cuts to outside the entrance to Pallet Town as the gang and Team Rocket land here from teleporting. "Look, Pallet Town!" Domino pointed out.
"Do you know what this means, twerpette?" Cassidy says with a grin as the gang looks at Team Rocket.
"It means we're going to go right back to stealing your talking Meowth once and for all!" Butch added, also grinning.
Mondo shows Ditto to the gang. "This time, Ditto is back on our side for the battle!"
"Ditto!" Ditto cheers happily.
"Let's go think about our next plan guys!" Cassidy says as she and her partners-in-crime quickly leave the area.
The gang has annoyed looks on their faces as Domino shakes her head. "Those three will never learn." She says.
"I didn't miss those three trying to steal me at all…" Meowth added.
"Forget them, look!" Jessie pointed out.
The gang sees a bunch of normal wild Pidgey flying and Rattata running through the area in Route 1, normal and not brainwashed as everything is restored to normal.
"The Pokémon are not brainwashed anymore! Looks like everyone is back to the way it was!" James stated.
"Come on, let's head into Pallet Town and see Professor Oak!" Jessie said as Meowth, Domino, and James all nodded in agreement.
As the gang heads back into Pallet Town, the narrator starts talking. "Jessie gave it her all and was able to beat Mewtwo and restore everything to the way it was! All Pokémon are back to normal and Jessie can finally start her adventure soon in the Johto region!"
The scene shows Mewtwo and Mew together in the sky, they look at each other before both nodding and then they disappear by teleporting out together.
