Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, obtains the eyelash of legendary Pokemon Mew. He employs Dr. Fuji to create a clone of Mew, resulting in Mewtwo.

Fuji attempts to sedate Mewtwo and make him forget everything. After waking up later on, Mewtwo realizes he means nothing to the scientists and destroys the lab.
