Ash on another one of his Pokemon journeys finds himself on a shore side battling a random stranger. He receives a hologram message of nurse joy inviting him to an island off of a nearby city. A terrible storm occurs and most of the trainers who've been invited to the island are afraid to risk the sea voyage to get there. Ash is not just willing but able. He is greeted by nurse Joy and taken to a main room with all the other trainers who've made it to the island. Mewtwo, who is a clone made from the DNA of Mew, steals the Pokemon of all the trainers who've arrived, and makes clones of them all. An enormous battle of cloned Vs. real Pokemon ensues. In midst of a Mew Vs Mewtwo battle it seems all will be lost. In typical Pokemon fashion, Team Rocket is always nearby, trying to wreak havoc, and in the end, good always triumphs over evil.
