This threatens the substation below Pokémon Hills, along with the city’s power supply. Mewtwo, having been briefed on Genesect’s rampage, appears. Mewtwo tells the red Genesect not to hurt the other Pokémon, but it refuses to listen and the two embark on a high-speed chase through the city.

Meanwhile, the native Pokémon of Pokémon Hills battle the three Genesects and begin to overwhelm them. The red Genesect then returns to protect them. The friendly Genesect saves Ash by receiving an attack from the other Genesect, causing him to collapse. Mewtwo fights the four remaining Genesects and wins the game. However, in the process, the nest is set on fire.
