Hero of the Month - Edition N°12

For this edition of the month of August, we are going in another fictional world of my childhood and one of the most world famous franchises. I wrote and I dedicate this article to my favorite legendary pokemon and also one of my favorites in all the species of Pokémon: Mewtwo.


In his story, Mewtwo is not a pokemon born naturally. He was the first Pokémon created by humans, from a sample of another legendary pokemon, considered the ancestor of all Pokémon: Mew. Giovanni, the supreme leader of Team Rocket, wanted to create an ultimate weapon, the strongest and ferocious pokémon the world, to ensure its domination of the world. From the dna of Mew found in an ancient temple dedicated to the legendary pokemon, the scientists of Team Rocket created a being of flesh and blood, larger and with the same powers as Mew, but improved. Mewtwo was born.
But hardly born, Mewtwo wanted more information on what he really was, but with his psychic powers, he managed to guess that scientists had no use in his well-being and see him only as a laboratory experiment . Enraged, Mewtwo unleashed his powers, destroying the laboratory and killed all scientists. Soon after, Mewtwo is Welcomed by Giovanni, who manages to deceive him and make him believe that he is an ally, but in reality, Giovanni uses Mewtwo as supremacy's weapon, beating all the trainers he faces. Again, Mewtwo is fooled, and retaliates by causing an explosion before fleeing, but Giovanni survives. Therefore, Mewtwo decides to not trust humans anymore, seeing them as enemies, and decides himself to become the master of the world and destroy all who dare oppose him, human or Pokemon. For that, he settled on a remote island, and built his own laboratory, using the same cloning technology that has allowed him to be born. His goal: to create a cloned army of Pokemon from real Pokémon. 
Mewtwo besets the best trainers pokemon by inviting them on his island, in pretending to be the best pokemon trainer in the world and invites them to a duel. But upon arrival, Mewtwo reveals his trap, and has no problems to defeat the Gyarados and Rhyhorn of two trainers who wanted to intervene. During the duel, Mewtwo uses three cloned Pokémon: Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur. Clones are stronger than the originals, Mewtwo comes out winner of the fight and capture all the Pokemon of the trainers, even Pikachu.
But the rage is felt when Mewtwo meets Mew. For the first time, the original and the clone meet. Mew tries to make understand to Mewtwo that fight is useless and to have a very powerful power is useless, that the true strength of the pokemon comes from their heart, but Mewtwo, blinded by his hatred and revenge desire, launches hostilities and the fight begins between the two legends. Evenly matched, both pokemon decide to put all their power in an ultimate attack, but Ash interposes himself and is hit by the beam of energy that turns him into stone statue (he will be saved later by the tears of Pikachu and the other Pokémons, clones and originals). 
Having seen with his own eyes what a good human is able to do to save the lives of the Pokémon, Mewtwo finally realized he was himself become a heartless monster, greedy for power. Remorseful, Mewtwo, with the help of Mew, decided to go away from it all, along with all cloned Pokémon, in a place where they can live in peace.


Mewtwo is one of the most popular and loved pokémon by fans thanks of its character, its appearance, its tragic history and its psychic powers. It is even said he was classified second most popular Pokémon, just after Pikachu.
Mewtwo can be impulsive, as he can be wise and patient. But his clone origins make him doubt about himself, causing him to wonder some questions. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Mewtwo doubt of himself, not feeling himself as part of the world. But doubt was cast when Ash, a young trainer, and other friends, came to help Mewtwo when he was injured and dying. They wanted to dive Mewtwo in a miraculous source that could heal any Pokémon, but Mewtwo did not wanted, considering he had to die 'cause he was not from this world. However, in the miraculous water, Mewtwo felt again the life coming inside and cure him. It was then he realized that yes, he was a pokemon like others and that he had a role to play in the world's balance. Mewtwo was created as a deadly weapon, but became a protector of life and freedom.
Mewtwo is among the most dangerous and powerful Pokémon that exist, and is one of the few Pokémon that can talk like a human. With just a simple concentration, he can move objects, living beings, or even create hurricanes with a simple wrist movement. It is unclear to what level of power can reach Mewtwo, but it is very probable that he could destroy humanity if he wanted.

For being one of the icons of one of the most famous franchises worldwide, and also one of the most charismatic of the world Pokémon, Mewtwo deserves his place in the pantheon of epic heroes.



See youn next time, humans ;)
