MY PURPOSE.

I AM SPARING YOUR LIVES,

FOR THE MOMENT.

[DOORS CREAK OPEN]

BUT YOU CANNOT ESCAPE

YOUR FATE.

THE HOUR OF MY VENGEANCE

DRAWS NEAR.

BEHOLD.

AH.

Mewtwo:
WITH POKMON

AND HUMANS ELIMINATED,

THE CLONES SHALL

INHERIT THE WORLD.

Ash:

I WON'T LET YOU.

IT'S ASH.

ALL RIGHT.

PSY-YI-YI.

DUCK.

PSYDUCK!

VULPIX!

Mewtwo:
IT IS USELESS

TO CHALLENGE ME.

IT'S NOT GOING TO END

LIKE THIS, MEWTWO.

WE WON'T LET IT.

YOU'RE MINE.

AAH!

UHH!

UGH!

ASH, NO!

LOOK OUT!

AAH!

[MEOWING]

HUH?

GOT A GOOD POINT.

WHAT'S IT SAYING?

MEW SAYS YOU DON' PROVE ANYTHING

BY SHOWING OFF A LO OF SPECIAL POWERS,

AND THAT A POKMON'S

REAL STRENGTH:

COMES FROM THE HEART.

MY CLONES DON'T NEED

THEIR POWERS:

TO PROVE THEIR WORTH.

MEW!

AAH! AAH!

Satoshi Tajiri

Satoshi Tajiri (Japanese: 田尻 智, Hepburn: Tajiri Satoshi, born August 28, 1965) is a Japanese video game designer best known as the creator of Nintendo's Pokémon franchise and the founder of video game developer Game Freak. A fan of arcade games, Tajiri wrote for and edited his own video gaming fanzine Game Freak with Ken Sugimori, before evolving it into a development company of the same name. Tajiri claims that the joining of two Game Boys via a link cable inspired him to create a game which embodied the collection and companionship of his childhood hobby and special interest, insect collecting. The game, which became Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, took six years to complete and went on to spark a multibillion-dollar franchise which reinvigorated Nintendo's handheld gaming. Tajiri continued to work as director for the Pokémon series until the development of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, when he changed his role to simply executive producer. Tajiri has also worked for other projects including Mario spin-offs. His work has earned him numerous accolades from his peers. more…
