Synopsis:
Ash Ketchum is on a mission to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. Although he's successfully captured many of the 151 types of electrically charged Pokemons, each possessing its own unique powers, his greatest challenge lies ahead of him. Can he and his friends Misty, Brock and Pikachu conquer the all-powerful Mewtwo, a bio-engineered Pokemon who plans to rule the galaxy with his own strain of super-charged Pokemons?
