Mew gave birth. We named the newborn Mewtwo.
The Unknown Dungeon was an awful place, filled with a cold sticky dampness that clung to the skin under clothing and the fiercest Pokémon Red had ever seen. He certainly would not have even considered coming had it not been for his stupid all-consuming curiosity.
Back when he had been working towards his seventh badge, a rumour of a lost key drew him to an abandoned mansion on Cinnabar – it was well past ruined and teeming with wild things and treasure-seekers, but in its basement he made a shocking discovery. It seemed that Team Rocket (he shuddered to think of them) had a hand in the experiments of Cinnibar's scientists, and forced them to create…something. They called it Mewtwo and it was born of Mew; he hadn't the faintest clue what kind of Pokémon either of those were, and his Pokédex knew nothing either.
But Mewtwo was too powerful and fled the mansion – perhaps that was why the building was ruined – and Red followed rumour after rumour to solve its mystery. Every trail turned cold and eventually he turned back to his original quest.
Becoming Champion was not easy, but had many benefits; Lance knew nothing about Mewtwo, but Agatha was old and had been everywhere in her day. She pointed him towards Cerulean with a gleam in her eyes.
And so he stumbled into the Cerulean Cave, the Unknown Dungeon where Mewtwo was said to have fled to after taking the lives of Team Rocket's men of science. Red wasn't too sure as to why he was braving its depths just to confirm a feeling, but he did know one thing – if he managed to find Mewtwo, hidden somewhere deep underground, he would apologize for what humanity's curiosity had forced it to do.

Mewtwo is far too powerful. We have failed to curb its vicious tendencies...
