I have the mnemonic for both wallets. I'm confused as to "instead use it to generate the BTC version of your wallet."

<p>In hopes of claiming BCC I sent BTC (Mycellium wallet) to a recently generated BCC wallet (Bitcoin.com). The transaction was confirmed, however, I don't see the BCC in my BCC wallet (or BTC in my BTC wallet!). How can I retrieve my BTC and BCC?</p>

You can't send one currency to a wallet of another transaction. Unfortunately BCH and BTC use the same type of addresses, so this is an easy misunderstanding. You'll need to contact support for the wallet service the recover funds unfortunately, there is little we can do here.
