No. 23355
Mewtwo had been located just north of Cerulean. When Wayne and his team stopped by Misty's Gym to ask her if she'd seen the genetic monstrosity, she said she hadn't. But she had seen a lot of activity near the caves just outside the city. Strange noises, fog, and yet no one dared to look in its direction.
The caves were located on a peninsula, and the only entrance lay facing the water. Fortunately, Wayne was smart enough to always bring GIR with him whenever he traveled.
