Blaine's Mewtwo (Japanese:カツラのミュウツーKatsura's Mewtwo) is aPsychic-typeLegendary Pokémon cloned fromMew and made from the cells of Mew andBlaine in thePokémon Adventures manga.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

Mewtwo debuted inTauros the Tyrant, whereRed spots its still-unfinished body floating inside a tank in theTeam Rocket Hideout. Red overhears Team Rocket scientistBlaine talking about how there was not enough genetic material in Mew's cell to complete the body. Later, Mewtwo is eventually finished, but it turns on its creators and escapes.

Mewtwolater proceeded to go on a rampage inCerulean City, where it would be nicknamed the "Monster of Cerulean City." Red decided to pursue Mewtwo after learning of its powers and found it inside theCerulean Cave. Upon entering, Mewtwo attacks Red with a tornado made of psychic energy. Red is saved by Blaine, who reveals that he was a member of Team Rocket and created Mewtwo. Blaine reveals that because he did not have enough of Mew's cells, he was forced to use his own cells to finish Mewtwo's body. However, a few of Mewtwo's cells found their way into his own arm, which gave the two the ability to sense one another. Despite this ability, Blaine stated that he would eventually die from Mewtwo's cells taking over his body.

Blaine attempts to sacrifice himself by charging straight at Mewtwo in an attempt to kill it, but they both survive the attack. Angered from the attack, Mewtwo begins going on the offensive, forcing Red to try and defend himself. The battle ends when Red sendsPika hurtling down Mewtwo'sPsywave twister with aMaster Ball inside his mouth. With Mewtwo captured, Blaine notices that the pain in his arm subsided, which meant that Mewtwo was willing to start over with its creator.

Yellow arc

InPurrrr-sian, Mewtwo is seen floating inside a tank, asleep. WhenYellow visitsCinnabar Island, she encounters Blaine and Mewtwo training together for their upcoming battle against the villainousElite Four. AtCerise Island, Mewtwo teamed up with Blaine and Yellow to battle the leader of the Elite Four,Lance. Despite Mewtwo's power, Lance's Pokémon proved to be equally as powerful as it. During the battle, Blaine reveals that Mewtwo is unable to fight very far from Blaine or else it will put a lot of strain on their bodies. In addition to this, Mewtwo can only remain outside of its Master Ball for three minutes before it has to return.

Having no choice, Blaine has Mewtwo target Lance'sUltra Balls so that he cannot release the rest of his Pokémon. Mewtwo manages to destroy the Ultra Balls' releasing mechanism, but Lance reveals that his other Pokémon were outside the entire time, making the attack useless. The attack proves to be too much for Blaine and he collapses. Despite this, Mewtwo continues to attack Lance with the intention of putting its life on the line. Lance manages to stop Mewtwo when he points out that by continuing to battle, Blaine will eventually die from the strain as well. Not willing to kill its Trainer, Mewtwo forcefully sends itself back into its Master Ball.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In this arc, Mewtwo is left in Blaine's laboratory while Blaine participates in the Pokémon League's opening ceremony with the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto. When Blaine meets up with the legendaryEntei and becomes its partner inHeckled by Hitmontop, Blaine asks it to use its healing flames to heal his arm and sever the link he has with Mewtwo. Once Entei does so, Mewtwo immediately leaves Cinnabar Island, now a free Pokémon.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Mewtwo makes a reappearance as an ally, and is shown to be capable of communicating through telepathy. It first reappears inIt Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill, where it reveals that it had rescued the injuredLorelei after her defeat at the hands ofSird. Although Red is initially confused as to why Mewtwo had shown up, Mewtwo reveals that it wishes to fight with Red against Team Rocket. Mewtwo reveals that after leaving its master, Blaine, it gained the ability to speak through telepathy, but only to those it trusts, such asYellow, Red, and Blaine. Red accepts Mewtwo as his ally, much to the shock ofBlue andGreen.

They travel toTrainer Tower, where Team Rocket's base of operations is located. Although a group ofUnown under Sird's control attempt to attack and stop the group, Mewtwo easily swats them away with its powerfulPsywave technique. Upon landing on the Trainer Tower's roof, Blue and Green are fooled by holograms of their kidnapped loved ones and are grabbed by mechanical arms when they attempt to save them. Mewtwo manages to save the two with its spoon and takes the three down to another level of the building. Upon arriving, Mewtwo uses its abilities to help locateProfessor Oak and Green's parents.

The group is soon attacked byGiovanni who has an army ofDeoxys clones—called the Deoxys Duplicates—under his command. While the others face the clones, Mewtwo goes to directly attack Giovanni. Mewtwo uses telepathy to communicate with Giovanni, but only because it wants Giovanni to feel its wrath. Mewtwo attempts to attack, but the Deoxys Duplicates step in to defend Giovanni. Mewtwo tells Giovanni that it refuses to let Team Rocket use Deoxys for their evil plans like they almost did with itself.

When Giovanni explains Deoxys's origins and how it's under his complete control, Mewtwo becomes enraged. Noting how powerful Mewtwo can be, Giovanni has the Trainer Tower's computer, R, cover Mewtwo in a specialized armor. Called the "M2 Bind", the armor is designed to restrict its powers. With the M2 Bind surrounding its body, Mewtwo is unable to move while Giovanni makes his escape. Eventually, Mewtwo comes up with a plan and tells Red, Blue, and Green have their Pokémon fire offFrenzy Plant,Blast Burn, andHydro Cannon, at the exact same time from different directions. The moves' types cancel each other out before hitting Mewtwo, thus eliminating any pain Mewtwo would feel. Now free, Mewtwo takes the chance to destroy R by cleaving the Trainer Tower in two with its spoon.

With Blue and Green too tired to continue, Mewtwo leaves with Red to chase after Giovanni. They arrive at theTeam Rocket airship, which has turned into a stadium. Red proposes a challenge with him and Mewtwo against Giovanni and Deoxys. After agreeing, the two Pokémon begin a fierce battle. Although seemingly evenly matched, Deoxys's ability to change its Formes gives it a major advantage over Mewtwo. Eventually, the battle is decided when Mewtwo fires an attack directly at Deoxys's core, severely injuring it and rendering it unable to battle.

Despite this victory, the airship ages out of control whenCarr goes crazy and announces his plan to crash it intoVermilion City and blow it up with his tenForretress. To protect his friends, Red tells the newly-befriended Deoxys to send Mewtwo and everyone else on board the airship to safety via a black hole. Eventually, Mewtwo, with an unconscious Yellow in its arms, lands near Vermilion City. After the airship lands safely, Mewtwo is the only one to notice that it was actually Mew who stopped it from crashing. Realizing that since it was cloned from Mew's eyelash, it now has a something to chase its roots back to and thanks Deoxys for the sharing the same sentiments, as well as the battle they had.

After Deoxys leaves, a severely-injuredSird returns with the intent of recapturing Deoxys. She grabs a Poké Ball and shoots a beam at Deoxys, but Mewtwo, Red, Blue, Green, andSilver jump in the way of it. Although the five Dex holders are turned to stone, Mewtwo was not.

Diamond & Pearl arc

What had happened to Mewtwo at the climax of theFireRed & LeafGreen arc was unknown until Sird's reappearance inDouble Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV. She reveals that the reason for the Pokédex holders' petrification was because Mewtwo had clashed with the Pokémon she was intending to use on Deoxys,Darkrai. Mewtwo was revealed to have continued chasing Sird after the Pokédex holders' petrification but eventually lost her.

X & Y arc

After a long absence, it wasrevealed that Mewtwo had become the protector of thePokémon Village inKalos. It desired toMega Evolve, and that desire reached out to Blaine when he touched Blue'sKey Stone. Blaine traveled to the region and trained underGurkinn to become a Mega Evolution Successor. Having earned the strength to live up to Mewtwo's expectations, Blaine found Mewtwo through his Key Stone and re-caught the Genetic Pokémon.

WhenTeam Flare arrived and began abducting the Pokémon at the village in order to recharge theultimate weapon, Mewtwo confronted them in battle. InYveltal Steals, whenX and Blue arrive at the village to stop Team Flare once and for all, they found Mewtwo in battle withLysandre, who manipulated Mewtwo into battling X and Blue so that it would be weakened enough to be captured. Despite having battled together, Blue's attempt to get Mewtwo to recognize him ended in failure.

During the battle, Mewtwo attacked X and Blue, but redirected the attack towards Lysandre to hit him instead. Mewtwo then proceeded toMega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y. As Mewtwo battled Lysandre's Pokémon, Blue noticed another person in the distance who was responsible for Mega Evolving Mewtwo. Lysandre proceeds to summonEssentia to his aid, having her useZygarde to attack everyone as Blaine also entered the battlefield. Zygarde'sLand's Wrath greatly weakened Blaine, forcing Mewtwo to revert to its regular form. As Zygarde prepared to attack again, Blaine had Mewtwo switchMega Stones in order for it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X. Blaine revealed that due to their unique bond, Mewtwo was able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.

Mewtwo attempted to hold Zygarde back, but was unable to defend itself from Zygarde'sDragon Pulse. The attack hit Blaine and Mewtwo, knocking them both out. Mewtwolater woke up in time to defeatLysandre's Pyroar before it could interfere with X's attempt to defeat Zygarde.

Personality and characteristics

Upon Mewtwo's debut, the Genetic Pokémon was very violent and dangerous to approach, often going on rampages, earning the nickname the "Monster of Cerulean City." After being captured byBlaine, Mewtwo calmed down, willing to start over with itsTrainer. During theFireRed & LeafGreen arc, Mewtwo was shown to have the ability to communicate through telepathy, but only with humans that it trusts. The Genetic Pokémon also questioned its existence in the world and was grateful to discover that it was made fromMew's eyelash, utilizing this clue as something to trace its roots back.

Mewtwo is a powerful battler, easily making its way through a group ofUnown and was able to battle against Lance's Pokémon even while hindered by its connection to Blaine. Mewtwo is also able to hold its own against otherLegendary Pokémon, winning its fight againstOrganism No. 2 and keeping up withLysandre'sZygarde.

Mewtwo is a caring Pokémon, standing up for those who need help. Mewtwo had become the protector of thePokémon Village and was willing to risk massive damage to help theKantoPokédex holders fightGiovanni andDeoxys. It also has a strong bond with Blaine, willing to sacrifice its life to help Blaine while also backing down from fights if it puts Blaine's life in danger. Their strong bond also allows Mewtwo to Mega Evolve multiple times during battle.
