It is said that the world began at the summit of Mt Coronet. After emerging from his primordial egg, Arceus shaped the universe around these mountains, making them the center of existence. Now, Mewtwo and Mew stand alone at the place where everything began…

"Mew?" is all Mewtwo can say.

She says nothing, but does not break eye contact with him.

"I…I thought you were…" Mewtwo does not know what to say to her. "Where is Mia? Where is my friend?"

Mew finally responds, "Mia never existed. She was a creation of mine in order to keep an eye on you."

Mewtwo's anger begins to rise again, but also, he is hurt more than ever. "To keep an eye on me? Why would you do that?"

At that moment, everything that Mew is in the eyes of the rest of the world vanishes all at once. The pokemon once believed to be the incarnation of innocence and purity is replaced by a being of utter hatred, and all that hate is focused on Mewtwo.

"Because you should not exist!"

And as quickly as the hatred came, it quickly retreats, bringing back the gentle pokemon once more.

"I'm sorry it had to come to this, Mewtwo, but you really have left me with no choice." Mew tells her son.

She turns away and floats over to the altar at the center of the summit.

"The world began here," she says, "and from here, it shall also end."

"What are you talking about?" Mewtwo asks her.

"I'm sure you know, but the time seal that Dialga guarded has been broken. Giratina, the renegade pokemon, has been released and it will destroy this world, just as it intended to do so all those years ago."

Mewtwo finally realizes what is happening. All the things that have occurred in the past weeks have led to this moment.

"Wait, you were the one who created Deoxys?" Mewtwo asks with repulsion. "You broke the Ageless's greatest taboo and used humanity's science to make that monstrosity?"

"Yes. From the very beginning, it was all me." She answers calmly. "I was the one that destroyed the Ilex forest and placed the blame on you, but I never expected Celebi to protect you. When the golems of Hoenn failed to kill you, I resorted to more extreme measures and snuck away to use the hidden remains of humanity's science to create the virus pokemon, Deoxys."

Part of Mew's hateful anger returns as she remembers what happened next.

"I was hoping that after you saw your friend 'Mia' die, your spirit would be broken and Deoxys would finish you off, but I never expected you to be stronger than Deoxys," she says with disdain. "However, it was at that moment that I had a thought. A dangerous thought that should have never been conceived. 'What if I used Deoxys in another way?'"

Mewtwo already knows what she is referring to, but says nothing.

"Once again, I created another Deoxys, but this time, I took it into the dimension where Dialga slept. The temporal dragon put up a worthy fight, but in the end, Deoxys overpowered it and stopped its beating heart."

"And what good has that done?!" Mewtwo shouts. "What is the purpose of all this destruction?!"

"Don't you see yet?" Mew responds forcefully. "It is all to get rid of you! Giratina will come into this world and destroy it, and you along with it!"

Mewtwo is almost at a loss for words. All this to destroy me?

"And what if I fought?" Mewtwo threatens. "What if I confronted the dragon and defeated it?"

And at this, Mew shouts in mad triumph. "Of course you will! You were born to fight! You will face Giratina without fear and with your power, you will slay it! But in the end, it will not matter, because Giratina is an Ageless and you know the Rules about killing another Ageless."

Finally, the extent of Mew's madness becomes apparent. There is no way out.

"You will either die with the rest of the world or you can kill Giratina and be erased by the Unown for breaking their Rules. The choice is yours, Mewtwo."

"You would really let this world, along with all of its inhabitants die, just for the sake of being rid of me?" Mewtwo asks with a hint of sadness. "Do you truly hate me that much?"

"Yes, I do. Mewtwo, I was captured against my will by the humans and they forced me into their unholy experiments. You are the result of that past and I want to forget it no matter the cost. Please, just leave and never come back."

With those last words spoken, Mew teleports away. She and Mewtwo will never see each other again.

Mewtwo has always been alone, but nothing could compare to the loneliness he felt at that moment. After spending what seems to be an eternity on Mt. Coronet, Mewtwo knows what he must do. He shuts his eyes and focuses, remembering the pain and the fear. He will return to that dreadful place and ask for their help. In an instant, he vanishes and he teleports to the one place he never wanted to see again.

For the second time in his life, Mewtwo opens his eyes and sees the unnatural landscape. The left side of the world is shining with life and the right side is corroded by death. A familiar voice, like the sound of wind through a cemetery, echoes through the world.

"Will you look at that? The kitten has come back to play."

Mewtwo sees the red eagle perched on its tree of bones.

"What has brought you here, young one?" asks the blue stag, with its soothing voice like the first day of spring.

"I need your help, and I'm prepared to pay with my life."
