Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, has caught a clue to the location of the powerful Pokémon Mewtwo and has sent an agent to find him. In the meantime, Ash & co. are passing through the Johto region when they encounter a woman who told them about the vitalizing water of Purity Canyon...coincidentally, Mewtwo's new location. Soon, an all-out battle between Mewtwo's clone Pokémon "family" and the forces of Team Rocket breaks out, with Ash and his friends caught in the middle.

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant". That was Mewtwo from the first movie. Here, he's wangsting about how he and his family "don't belong in this world" because they were cloned instead of born naturally.

** Not necessarily. The first movie has Mewtwo realize that ''everyone'' should be allowed to live, whether they be born naturally or cloned. Here, he's trying to figure out where clones belong in the world. If anything, it's more along the lines of Mewtwo's ongoing quest to find a purpose in life rather than him forgetting the moral of the first movie. It's like someone saying, "Well, I'm content with the fact that my life matters regardless of how I was born, but I still wish I knew where I belong."

* [[A Glass in The Hand]]: Giovanni does it twice, first with a glass he's drinking from, and to a walkie-talkie (!) near the end of the movie.

** [[A Glass of Chianti]]: Or what looks like whiskey, in this case. Surprisingly untouched by 4Kids for the dub.

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: A ''massive'' battle undoubtedly takes place while Ash is taking Mewtwo to the spring between Brock and Misty vs what looks like ''every Team Rocket operative''. It's going to start up and...we cut to Ash dragging an injured Mewtwo up the stairs. We NEVER see any of the battle.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Mewtwo's VA is changed from Phillip Bartlett to [[Dan Green]] in the dub.

* [[Parental Substitute]]: Mewtwo acts much like an anxious father regarding the other clones, and debates whether he should let them set out on their own or if he should make them stay where he can guard them.
