- Mewtwo: The human sacrificed himself, to save the Pokemon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences did I see the true power they all share deep inside. I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
- [Japanese version]
- Mewtwo: It's true... that you're a Pokémon who exists just like I do. It might be best if no one knew of this incident. It might be best to forget this.
- Meowth: We do have a lot in common. The same Earth, the same air, the same sky. Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of what's different... well, who knows.
- Mewtwo: That cannot be. You said we were partners. We stood as equals.
- Giovanni: You were created by humans to obey humans. You could never be our equal.
- Mewtwo: Humans may have created me, but they will never enslave me! This cannot be my destiny!
- Giovanni: [as Mewtwo begins destroying the lab] Stop this now!
- Mewtwo: I wasn't born a Pokémon, I was created; and my creators have used and betrayed me! So, I stand alone!
- [Mewtwo blows up the laboratory]
- Scientist: We dreamed of creating the world's most powerful Pokemon...
- [Mewtwo prepares to fire]
- Scientist: ... and we succeeded.
- Meowth: Maybe if we started lookin at what's the same, instead of lookin at what's different... well who knows?
- Misty: [after Pikachu defeats three Pokemon with a lightning attack] Well, that sure was a shocking ending.
- Brock: Shocking that Ash moved so fast!
- James: [Team Rocket are watching the gang from a clifftop, with binoculars] There's another credit on Pikachu's 'charge account!'
- Jesse: We've got to grab it!
- Meowth: I know we gotta grab some rare Pokémon for the Boss... but it wouldn't be such a bad idea if we grabbed a litte bite to eat.
- Jesse: We didn't come here to steal a meal!
- James: I'd settle for a taste of that Pika-chow.
- Meowth: I'm starving.
- Jesse: I can cook something!
- Meowth: Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you wiped out eight of my nine lives.
- Mewtwo: [waking up in the laboratory] Where... I am I? This... this is not the same. Was everything before just a dream? Why?
- Narrator: Life. The great miracle, and the great mystery. Since the beginning, humans and Pokémon alike have searched for its meaning. Many strange and wondrous legends evolved for the pursuits of life's mysteries. But none is stranger than this tale of the most powerful Pokémon of all.
- Narrator: Many strange legends surround the mysteries of Pokémon, and just as many adventures await our young heroes as they continue on their quest. For Ash and his friends, the journey's just begun.
- Ash Ketchum: The world's greatest Pokémon master is waiting for me. Let's use our Pokémon to get to that island.
- Misty: Ash, our Pokémon aren't strong enough. They can't handle giant waves like this.
- Ash Ketchum: [upset] Guess you're right...
- Jesse: [Team Rocket arrive in a boat, dressed as Vikings] You vant to cross maybe? Ve take you, ya? Ve Vikings are used to big vaves. Ve get you to New lsland faster than you can say fahrvergnügen.
- Jesse: [cuts to them rowing] Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Oh, I think I'm gonna have one!
- Brock: I didn't know Vikings still existed.
- Ash Ketchum: They mostly live in Minnesota.
- Misty: Something's not right. Are you sure this boat's safe?
- Jesse: Don't vorry. This ship von't let you down. Ve alvays sail in da rough veather. Don't get upset.
- Meowth: Tell my stomach.
- Jesse: Heave!
- James: Ho!
- Jesse: Heave!
- James: Ho!
- Jesse: Heave!
- James: Ho!
- Misty: lt's all right, Togepi. We're going to be okay.
- [a huge tidal wave crashes into the boat, taking Team Rocket's Viking costumes off in the process]
- Ash Ketchum: Those aren't Vikings!
- Misty: It's Team Rocket!
- Brock: I should have known there was something fishy about them besides the way they smell!
- Jesse: Haha! Prepare for trouble!
- James: Make it double!
- Meowth: Forget the motto. We're going to have to... aaah!
- [another tidal wave sweeps over, knocking everyone out of the boat]
- Narrator: Today, Ash, Brock and Misty are taking a break from their Pokémon adventures. As always, Ash is determined to become a Pokémon master. And, as always, he's ready to endure any hardship, bear any burden... with strength, stamina and a will of steel.
- Ash Ketchum: Hungry. Need food.
- Misty: Oh, Ash! You haven't done a thing all day!
- Ash Ketchum: I'm too weak to work, Misty. I haven't eaten since breakfast.
- Brock: This lunch is going to be just perfect for you, Ash. It's my lazy-boy 'no-chew' stew.
- Misty: [after Ash has been challenged to a Pokemon match] Ash, you just said you were too weak to work.
- Ash Ketchum: That's right, I am too weak to work. But a Pokemon battle isn't work.
- Brock: That's progress. At least his mouth is working.
- [Japanese version]
- Kasumi: I thought you weren't be able to move a millimeter.
- Satoshi: I can do one or two Pokémon battles before breakfast.
- Takeshi: This is lunch, by the way. So it'd before your afternoon meal.
- Kasumi: [When Mewtwo is stealing the Pokémon with the Clone Balls] Are you stealing other people's Pokémon?
- Mewtwo: Stealing? No. I'm making copies stronger than the Pokémon you're so proud of.
- Takeshi: Copies?
- Satoshi: Stop it! That's against the rules!
- Mewtwo: Don't give me orders.
- [Throws Satoshi into Takeshi]
- Mewtwo: I'll decide my own rules.
- [Sends the Clone Balls to steal the Pokémon]
- Meowthtwo: Maybe if we started lookin at what's the same, instead of lookin at what's different.. well who knows?
- [Ash, Pikachu, Misty and Brock stare out to the violent storm from the harbour]
- Ash Ketchum: [determined] The world's greatest Pokémon master is waiting for me! Let's use our Pokémon to get to that island!
- Pikachu: Pika!
- Misty: Ash, our Pokémon aren't strong enough! They can't handle big waves like this!
- Ash Ketchum: [slumps] Guess you're right.
- Pikachu: Pika-pika.
