Personality:

Mewtwo possesses a serious attitude, speaking in an authoritative way. The way she talks to others is very direct, to the point where people could mistake her for bossing them around when she's legitimately trying to help. For example, when she finds the newly revived Pokemon, Genesect, wandering in the mountains, she demands instead of asks that they come with her. The leader of the Genesect tells her to not give them orders, and retaliates by attacking her. Mewtwo does take matters into her own hands, determined to help the Genesect her way instead of slowing down to find a better solution. Despite her serious personality, she isn't completely incapable of having fun. She's seen racing with other bird Pokemon, and seems interested in testing the limits of her Mega Y form, which she transforms into and attempts to push past the boundaries of Earth's atmosphere.

Although Mewtwo wants to learn about her own power, the source of her power is tied to her strong dislike of humans. She was created by scientists and subjected to horrific and painful experiments to test the limits of her abilities. When she finally escaped the lab, Mewtwo realized she had no "home" to go to, and no place where she belonged. The only world she knew was the lab where she was tortured. She's painfully aware that she doesn't belong in this world. After escaping, she saw everyone, especially humans, as a threat. Considering how scientists hired a Pokemon hunter to recapture her, she's not exactly wrong in that assumption.

Despite Mewtwo's cold and distrusting attitude towards humans, she doesn't actually hate them or wish any harm on them. She saves Anna, her grandfather, and their Stoutland from falling to their deaths during a hiking trip in the mountains. When the Genesect's leader battles her and launches an attack into an apartment building full of people and Pokemon, she gets angry and tells the Genesect to stop. And despite saying that she only wanted to help the Pokemon, she still saves Ash and his friends from a Genesect attack when she could've only saved their Pokemon.

Mewtwo does feel guilt, as well as a reluctance to get close to both humans and Pokemon, due to the trouble that follows her. She knows her place as a powerful weapon created by humans, and how those humans will go to any lengths to find her. When a battle with a Pokemon hunter causes a forest fire that ends up trapping a Pokemon rescue team that tried to help her, she blames herself because they tried to save her. She ends up putting out the fire using telekinesis to move water from a nearby lake. The rescue team tries to thank her, but she coldly tells them to forget they saw her, in an attempt to distance herself from humans and Pokemon alike.

Of course this plan to distance herself from others fails when she tries to take shelter in a cave from a storm. Mewtwo collapses from the injuries she sustained from her previous battle with the Pokemon hunter. A group of Pokemon care for her through the night, that being the first time she's experienced any kind of genuine compassion from someone else. From that point, she starts to form a bond with the Pokemon that saved her, and live among them peacefully. She has a strong desire to protect any Pokemon she sees from harm, such as when she hears the Genesect in trouble and rushes to their aid. Similarly, she steps in and forms a protective barrier around the Pokemon from Pokemon Hills when the Genesect attack them and try taking over their home.

All the trauma and sense of not belonging is why she ends up heavily sympathizing with the Genesect, after learning that they were searching for their home after being resurrected from fossils and physically altered in a lab. While they refuse to listen to her, Mewtwo is determined to find a place for the Genesect to belong, knowing full well how painful it is to live in an unfamiliar world. Their aggressive, hateful attitude, and their desperate searching for a home are all things she sees in herself when she first escaped the scientists who created her. She wants the same thing for them that she finally managed to find for herself. It ends up being Ash's dedication to stopping the Genesect army and herself from fighting, as well as wanting to find the Genesect a new home, that finally gets Mewtwo to open herself up to a friendship with other humans. As well as the Genesect.

Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping:

-Flight/Levitation: Mewtwo gets around by flying or levitating above the ground using her psychic abilities. Warp: She can still fly, but the higher she goes, she'll feel like she's being weighed down by something incredibly heavy.

-Telepathy: Telepathy is Mewtwo's usual way of communication. While she can't read minds, she can project her voice into other people's heads. Warp: Hearing voices murmuring incoherently.

-Telekinesis: Mewtwo is able to use the move Psychic to lift anything from people to Pokemon, and she also used it to create a giant water tornado to put out a forest fire. Warp: Using telekinesis will quickly wear her out, giving her headaches or making her feel weak the longer she uses it.

-Ability to survive in low atmosphere, freezing cold temperatures for short periods of time. She can only do this in her Mega Y form. Warp: She can survive in freezing cold temperatures, but she'll find herself unbearable cold and struggling to breathe afterwards.

-Can shapeshift into her Mega Y form, which gives her teleportation-like speed. Time almost seems to slow down when she moves in this form, making it easier for her to see and avoid incoming attacks. Warp: This shapeshifting ability lasts for only 10 minutes.

-Like most Pokemon, Mewtwo comes with a set number of moves:
1) Psystrike: A move in which Mewtwo surrounds herself with psychic energy, that can explode on contact.
2) Psychic: Mewtwo's telekinesis move. She can use this on herself to fly and levitate, or use this
move to pick up something or someone.
3) Aura Sphere: Mewtwo can summon a ball of blue energy to throw at her opponents.
4) Protect: Mewtwo can form a psychic shield around herself or a large group to protect them from
attacks.
Warp: The typing of these abilities can change at random. When she goes to use Psystrike, she ends up using a grass move. If she uses Aura Sphere, it can turn into Splash instead.

Inventory: None.
