Recap

Mewtwo, his heart having been softened by the selfless example of the human named Ash Ketchum back in his birthland in the eastern Kanto region, has now traveled to the western region of Johto in search of a locale that is unreachable by the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of his band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned about. He eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named Mt. Quena, surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its top is a forest and a freshwater lake that makes for a near-utopia for all the Bug Pokémon living there. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo’s band, so thus they settle in the top of Mt. Quena and begin a new, safe life, with Mewtwo watching over as their guardian, as he feels they cannot belong in the world as they were not born in it (Interestingly enough, he seems particularly close to the Pikachu and Meowth clones, spending most of his private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in his change of heart). ..

Episode Notes
Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie, and James meet Mewtwo again after the events of Mewtwo Strikes Back, and this time are allowed to remember the encounter (Although it is never revealed whether they remember their original meeting with him)

Ash, Misty, and Brock meet Giovanni for first time.

Mewtwo Strikes Back showed a cut version of The Birth of Mewtwo. The DVD of Mewtwo Returns included the uncut version.

First (and possibly only) appearance of Domino.

Domino's agent name 009 is like James Bond's agent name 007

This special has never been aired in Britian, even though a dub exists.

Meowth's clone was never dubbed, saying its Japanese name of Nyarth. It is unknown why this happened.

Ash: You're one of a kind yourself



Episode Goofs
The Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn produced baby Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, where in the games they would only produce Nidoran♀, if Nidoqueen were able to breed with anything but Ditto in the first place.
