Capítulo 40: The Iron Bounty Hunter
The episode starts from what is picked off from the previous episode. It was night, Jessie and Zayne with their Pokémon out, Hunter and Wartortle, ready to battle. Domino, James, and Meowth watching from the sides.
"After Jessie and her friends train Zayne to win against Lt. Surge and win a Thunder Badge, Zayne challenges Jessie to a Pokémon battle and Jessie is using a Pokémon she hasn't used yet ever in battle, which is the Haunter she caught near Diglett's cave! Who will come out victorious? Find out in this episode!"
The title screen shows.
"The Iron Bounty Hunter."
James' Gastly suddenly burst out of its Poké Ball "Don't start the party without me now!"
"Gastley! What are you doing out of the Poké Ball?" James immediately asked.
Gastly looks at the battlefield and notices Haunter. "Just watching this battle! I must watch it." They said with a grin.
"Well, can you shut up? It's about to start!" Meowth says with a glare.
Gastly glares back at the talking Pokémon. "Shut up. You're just mad that you're not the only talking Pokémon anymore."
Domino facepalms and groans. "Can you both shut up?"
Zayne commands the first move. "Wartortle, Hydro Pump!"
"Wartortle!" Wartortle opens its mouth and releases floods of water towards Haunter.
"Haunter, dodge it quickly!" Jessie quickly countered.
"Ha Ha!" Haunter floats out of the way to dodge Wartortle's Hydro Pump.
Jessie smiles and raises her fist in the air. "Nice! Now use Confused Ray!"
Haunter charges an orange ball of energy in its hands, then shoots it at Wartortle. The water turtle's eyes begin to glow red and it gets confused as it starts stumbling.
"Wartortle…" The Pokémon cries in confusion.
Zayne sweats. "Wartortle, use Dig!"
Wartortle tries to bury itself underground but falls to the ground, hitting itself in confusion.
"Come on, Wartortle, snap out of it!" Zayne yells out.
Jessie chuckles. "Haunter, Night Shade it!"
Haunter's eyes glow red, and it fires multiple black beams outlined in streaks of dark red from its eyes at the Wartortle and it hits the Pokémon, taking damage.
"Wartortle!" The Pokémon cries in pain.
"Come on Wartortle, snap out of confusion and use Hydro Pump!" Zayne commanded.
Wartortle jumps back up to its feet and shakes its head to snap out of confusion and shoots a river of water from its mouth right at Haunter which strikes the Pokémon and takes damage.
Zayne jumps up. "Bullseye!"
Jessie calls out her Pokémon in concern. "Haunter, are you alright?!"
Haunter opens its eyes and floats back up, still ready to battle. "Ha Ha Haunter!"
Jessie smiles seeing that Haunter is alright. "Hypnosis, let's go!"
Haunter's eyes glow red and it waves its hands back and forth.
Wartortle's eyelids start to get heavy. "Wartortle…" then the Pokémon proceeds to drift off to sleep.
"Come on Wartortle, wake up!" Zayne commanded by shouting.
Wartortle is heard snoring and continues sleeping on the ground.
Seeing Wartortle is sleeping, Jessie commands the next move. "Now's our opportunity, Haunter, use Dream Eater!"
"Ha Ha!" Haunter opens its mouth and a dark cloud is seen above Wartortle and it starts going into Haunter's mouth, absorbing their dreams and energy to heal itself.
Wartortle has a displeased look on its face but continues sleeping.
Zayne immediately commands Wartortle to wake up again, as the situation looks extremely bad for him. "Please Wartortle! Wake up!"
Wartortle continues sleeping on the ground, skipping another turn.
Jessie commands the next move once more, seeing Wartortle is still asleep. "Alright Haunter, use Night Shade!"
Haunter's eyes start glowing red again, and it then also fires multiple black beams outlined in streaks of dark red from its eyes at the sleeping Wartortle, striking at the Pokémon as it gets flung back.
Zayne has a sad expression on his face. "Wartortle… no."
"Looks like that's it for Wartortle unfortunately," Domino says with a frown.
James tries to cheer up Domino's mood. "Cheer up, for a trainer with only three badges, Zayne did alright! At least Jessie won."
"That Haunter isn't better than me, anyway," Gastly says with a laugh.
"Oh sure, a first-stage evolution Pokémon is better than their evolution form, yeah right!" Meowth adds in a laugh of his own.
Gastly glares at Meowth. "I'd watch your tongue, cat."
Meowth has his sharp claws out on his paws. "Oh yeah?"
The arguing was broken up when Wartortle started glowing white, to everyone's shock.
"Wh-what's happening?!" Jessie said, a little worried.
"Wartortle?" Zayne asked his Pokémon, confused now.
Wartortle starts changing in appearance as it grows taller, its shell is now bigger and starts developing two water jets on its back. The glow white slowly fades away, revealing Wartortle evolved.
"Blastoise!" Zayne's newly evolved Pokémon cries out.
"W-Wartortle, you evolved! Zayne says in delight.
Jessie immediately pulls out her Pokédex.
"Blastoise, the Shellfish Pokémon. A water type. A brutal Pokémon with pressurized water jets on its shell. They are used for high-speed tackles."
"Things just got more serious…" Jessie says, putting her Pokédex away. "Hypnosis!"
Haunter's eyes began to glow red, but Blastoise quickly ducked into its big shell to dodge the Hypnosis.
"Nice dodging, Blastoise!" Zayne complimented. "Now Hydro Pump!"
Instead of withdrawing out of its shell, Blastoise used Hydro Pump from inside its shell, which completely caught Haunter off guard as the move hit the ghost Pokémon, knocking out the Pokémon instantly.
"Haunter, no!" Jessie dashes towards Haunter's aid.
"We did it, Blastoise!" Zayne runs up to Blastoise cheerfully.
"Well, I guess that was the battle," James stated.
"Yes! The water type Pokémon-" Domino cuts off seeing Meowth and James glaring at her. "I mean, oh no Jessie, lost!"
Gastley shakes its head no. "Extremely disappointing."
Meowth crosses his arms. "Like you would do so much better." He says, sarcastically.
Jessie recalls Haunter back in its Poké Ball. "You deserve a good rest, Haunter."
Zayne also recalls Blastoise. "So do you, Blastoise. Good job!"
Time skips to Jessie and Zayne shaking hands after a well-fought-out battle.
"That was a great battle, Jessie! Your Haunter was very impressive!" Zayne complemented with a smile.
"I see you trained your Wartortle just right, which is why it evolved into Blastoise. Congratulations!" Jessie complemented back with a smile.
"Well, I guess I'll be heading on my way now, bye guys," Zayne says, turning around as he was ready to walk.
"Wait!" Domino shouted, stopping Zayne. "You're not gonna stay with us for the night to sleep?"
"It's very dark out, by the way," James added.
"Thanks, guys for the offer, but I have to get to the next city for my next Gym Battle as soon as possible! See ya at some other time!" Zayne walks out of view from the gang, officially leaving them.
As soon as Zayne is out of view, Jessie sighs in sadness as she heads over to a tree not too far away and leans on it, as her friends look on.
"Domino, can you go over to cheer Jessie up?" James asked her. "I'm going to set up the tents."
"Can I set the camp up with you?" Meowth asked, which James nodded in response.
As James and Meowth begin setting up the camp, Domino goes over to where Jessie is to talk to her. "Hey… are you alright?" She asked.
Jessie shakes her head in response. "No, I'm not. I just lost to a trainer who has three fewer badges than me." She signs in sadness once more.
"Jessie…" Domino tries to explain why she loses to cheer her up. "You were winning until Zayne's Wartortle evolved into a Blastoise. It's just called luck, also you said you never used your Haunter before in a battle and Blastoise has been with Zayne since the beginning."
"I guess so… but as a trainer with six badges under her belt, I can't just lose to a trainer under my level. You know how embarrassing that is?" Jessie rhetorically says to Domino.
"Okay, how about this?" Domino replied to her. "You see how impressive Zayne's Blastoise was? How about you train your Squirtle, so it can evolve into a Wartortle, then a Blastoise, and you will have your very own Blastoise on your side!"
"Train my Squirtle?" Jessie reaches into her purse, pulls out Squirtle's Poké Ball, and looks at it. "After seeing how impressive Zayne's Wartortle, now Blastoise, was, I do want my very own Blastoise now."
"Then start training your Squirtle tomorrow, the first thing in the morning!" Domino says with a smile. "Blastoise is such a fantastic Pokémon to have, if I had the opportunity to get one, I would take it!"
Jessie looks at Domino and chuckles. "You're only saying that because you love water-type Pokémon."
Domino chuckles back. "Maaaaybe."
"Hey guys! The tents are all set up!" James called the two girls out.
"Let's head back to where James and Meowth are." Domino turns around and starts heading back to where she came from.
"Hey Domino…" Jessie says, causing Domino to stop and look back at her. "Thanks for cheering me up, I do feel much better now."
Domino smiles and gives her a thumbs-up. "No problem! Now come on, let's head back to the camp."
Jessie nods in response as she begins walking to the camp back with Domino by her side as they arrive back.
"I see you finally stopped crying your eyes out because of one loss," Meowth says.
Jessie rolls her eyes in response. "Whatever. Let's just sleep for the rest of the night." She heads inside the tent as Meowth, Domino, and James follow, as the gang officially sleeps for the rest of the night.
It cuts to morning and we see Jessie is up early outside of the forest with her Squirtle already sent out, about to train her water turtle Pokémon.
"Okay Squirtle, here's what I want you to do." Jessie picks up a medium stick nearby. "I want you to hit this stick as I toss it up in the air. Think you can do that?"
Squirtle jumps up happily in response. "Squirtle!"
Jessie smiles. "Alright!" She then proceeds to throw the medium-sized stick up in the air. "Water Gun!"
"Squirtle!" Squirtle shoots outflows of water from its mouth and manages to hit the medium-sized stick as it is in the air.
"Nice job, Squirtle!" Jessie complimented her Pokémon.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle cries back in joy to respond to their trainer.
It cuts to the Team Rocket trio are at, spying on Jessie from afar with binoculars.
"I don't see that talking Meowth with that twerpette," Cassidy stated.
"The talking Meowth is most likely back at the twerpette's friends," Butch responded.
"It doesn't matter. Now it's our time to get revenge on them for throwing us in jail, by stealing every single Pokémon they got!" Mondo says.
"Right!" Cassidy and Butch both respond in agreement.
Team Rocket hears the sound of a Pokémon above them. "Pidgeot!"
"What's that?" Cassidy looks up and so do her partners-in-crime as they see a bird Pokémon with large wings, sharp talons, and a short, hooked beak. It was flying towards them.
"I think that's a Pidgeot!" Butch answered Cassidy's question earlier.
"I-it's coming towards us!" Mondo says, shivering.
The Team Rocket trio braced for impact, but the Pidgeot just landed right next to them. The Team Rocket trio slowly opens their eyes.
"Pidgeot!" The Pokémon cries out to the trio.
"It didn't attack us?" Cassidy questioned in confusion.
"I wonder why?" Butch also questioned as well.
Mondo notices something on the back of Pidgeot. It was a laptop strapped onto the bird with the red letter R logo on the front cover. "Hey guys, look!" Mondo pointed the laptop to her partners-in-crime.
"A laptop? Don't we have one of those already?" Cassidy once more questioned.
"It was confiscated by the police when we were arrested, dumbass," Butch answered with an insult. "We didn't go back for it when we escaped."
Cassidy blurts out another question, completely confused. "Wait, so this Pidgeot belongs to Team Rocket?"
Butch just shrugs in response to that question. "I guess so?"
"Let's check it out!" Mondo unstraps the Team Rocket laptop off of Pidgeot. The second he did, Pidgeot spread its wings and flew away.
The Team Rocket trio all looked at each other before opening the laptop and immediately as the laptop turned on, Giovanni was standing there and looking at them.
"THE BOSS!" The trio shouted at the top of their lungs.
"So, the rumors are true. You three did manage to escape jail." Giovanni stated to them.
"You know we escaped? How?" Mondo questioned the boss about his knowledge.
"It was all over the news that three Team Rocket members managed to escape the Saffron Detention Center and I assumed it was you three," Giovanni answered.
Butch chuckles, before crossing his arms and smirking. "Hehe, yep! Aren't you proud of us?"
"NO, I AM NOT AT ALL!" Giovanni screamed out to the trio, mostly directed to Butch. This caused the trio to jump back, frightened. "You idiots got arrested during our very important mission that we needed to succeed in! You three are lucky Archer managed to retrieve the Master Ball for me or I would've fired the three of you from the spot!"
The Team Rocket trio gulped in response, saying- "Y-yes, sir." together.
"Also… you three also haven't sent me one Pokémon for over a month!" Giovanni stated. "You three better have a very good excuse!"
The Team Rocket trio all quickly huddle to discuss with each other.
"Wh-what do we tell the boss?" Cassidy asked her partners-in-crime.
"Easy, we tell the truth about the talking Meowth!" Butch responded.
Mondo questions Butch's idea. "Will he even believe us at all?"
"It's either this or get fired? We can't just tell him we've been slacking off!" Butch responded once more.
"Okay, okay, okay." Cassidy takes a deep breath. "Here goes."
The trio looks back at Giovanni on the laptop, getting ready to answer him.
Cassidy starts answering first. "Sir, we do have an excuse."
Butch continues. "There's this Pokémon trainer who has a very special once-in-a-lifetime Pokémon, a talking Meowth."
Then Mondo finishes the response. "That's why we haven't stolen any Pokémon, sir. We're busy trying to steal this special Pokémon for you, but the trainer is very difficult to get past."
Giovanni stares into the trio, with no expression on his face at all. He finally spoke to them. "Are you serious? Didn't you try to show me a talking Meowth before and then proceeded to show me just a regular Meowth?"
"That's because it was just pretending to be a regular Meowth, to make us act like we don't know what we're talking about!" Cassidy responded with a chuckle.
"Trust us, this Meowth does indeed talk," Butch says, also chuckling but shyly.
"But we're not giving it up to steal it for you, boss! We will try everything to steal that talking Meowth for you!" Mondo proceeds to smile at his boss.
Giovanni proceeds to think for a little bit, before responding to the trio. "So you're saying that this 'special' Meowth can indeed talk?"
The trio immediately nodded in response. "Yes, sir!"
"And this trainer who has possession over this talking Meowth is difficult to get through?" Giovanni asked again.
"Correct again, sir. We just don't have the right tools yet." Cassidy responded.
"Since you three idiots can't steal a trainer's Pokémon right, then I'll take matters into my own hands!"
The trio's eyes widened in shock at what their boss just said.
"What are you going to do, sir?" Butch asked.
Giovanni starts explaining to the trio. "Apparently since this specific trainer is extremely strong enough to prevent you three from stealing this talking Meowth, I'm sending my number one agent to them and steal this Meowth once and for all!"
"Oh, I see… Can we help, boss?" Mondo asked.
"NO, YOU THREE WILL NOT!" Giovanni responded to Mondo by screaming, which jumped the trio in fright. "You see, I want to test something out. I want to prove that this Meowth that you three keep going after isn't difficult to steal at all. If my number one agent manages to steal this talking Meowth in under twenty-four hours, then the three of your associations with Team Rocket will be terminated immediately!"
The Team Rocket trio all gulped in response as they continued being silent as Giovanni continued explaining.
"If my number one agent reports back that you three have interfered in his mission in any way possible, even by helping, you both will be fired immediately too! You three will not be involved in this by any means possible! Do I make myself clear?"
"YES, SIR!" The trio shouted with a nod.
"What location is the trainer currently at?" Giovanni asked. "Assuming you are on their tail."
"The trainer is currently at Route 11, boss," Cassidy answered.
Giovanni nods. "I am signing off to notify my agent. Like I said, no interference or you're three are gone. If I see a talking Meowth on my desk in less than twenty-four hours, you three are gone. Signing off." The boss ends the call between him and the trio.
Once the call ends, the trio couldn't help but get frustrated as Butch punches a nearby tree in response.
"Maybe they will fail to successfully steal Meowth?" Cassidy suggested, trying to look on the positive side.
Butch, crosses his arms while looking back. "This is Giovanni's number one agent we're talking about here, I bet they have never failed a mission before. That twerpette is fucked more than anything."
Mondo sighs. "I guess we should enjoy our last moments as Team Rocket members…"
Cassidy and Butch sadly nodded in response. The trio slowly starts walking away, expressing sadness that their jobs are in jeopardy. It cuts to Giovanni's secret hideout base. In front of him is a man with a yellow iron mask to cover their identity and a red chest plate, complete with red and yellow iron metal boots. Under the red chest plate was a Team Rocket uniform.
"Ah yes, Vicious, my number one agent. Thank you for seeing me." Giovanni says.
"You can call me the Iron-Masked Marauder." He grins evilly.
"Very well. I got a special mission for you." Giovanni hands Vicious a photo.
Vicious looks at the photo and it's a picture of a Meowth. "A Meowth?"
Giovanni nods. "Yes, this is indeed a Meowth, but this is a rare talking Meowth in that photo. A couple of my agents are having trouble stealing a Meowth from a specific trainer and I want you to handle it, so I can see if this Meowth can talk. Are you up for the job?"
"Stealing a Meowth?" Vicious laughs. "This should be easy! Don't worry boss, you can count on me."
Giovanni grins. "Excellent. The trainer and Meowth's location is on Route 11."
It cuts to outside where the Iron-Masked Marauder is in the air using a jetpack and heading to Route 11. Then it cuts back to Jessie training her Squirtle by throwing sticks and having the Pokémon hit them.
"Ready to evolve yet?" Jessie asked.
Squirtle just looks at Jessie, dumbfounded. "Squirtle!"
Jessie sighs. "Never mind."
Domino, James, and Meowth soon arrive where Jessie is at.
"Ready to continue the road, Jess?" James asked.
Jessie nods. "Let's go, I guess."
The gang with Squirtle are walking through the forest and continuing to get to Cinnabar Island.
Domino looks at Jessie. "How was the training with your Squirtle?"
"Oh! It was great, Squirtle unfortunately didn't evolve, but we will get there eventually!" Jessie responded.
"That reminds me about something." James looks at Meowth. "Hey Meowth, don't you want to evolve into a Persian one day?"
Meowth opens its mouth, about to answer James' question, but a small net all of a sudden comes out of nowhere, grabs and traps Meowth in the gang's shock, as they immediately look.
The net retreats, revealing it was in a bazooka, now in the possession of the Iron-Masked Marauder. "That was easy." He grins.
"Let me out of here, you jerk!" Meowth tries to claw out of the net, but it's no use as it hurts Meowth's paws instead. "OW!"
The Iron-Masked Marauder looks at Meowth, interested. "So… you can talk! What a surprise! Oh, and this net is designed to be cut-proof!"
"LET GO OF MY MEOWTH, YOU THIEF!" Jessie immediately arrives at the scene with Domino and James following her behind.
"I'm taking this Meowth and that's unfortunate for you." The Iron-Masked Marauder activates his jetpack and begins flying away.
"EEP!" James shrieked. "We got to do something!"
"OH NO YOU WON'T!" Domino quickly pulls out a Poké Ball. "Bulbasaur, use your Vine Whip to stop that Pokémon thief!" She quickly sends out Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur materializes. "Bulbasaur!" The Pokémon extends its two vines and grabs The Iron-Masked Marauder by one of his legs, stopping him from escaping.
The Iron-Masked Marauder snarls. "They just won't go away, huh?" He pulls out a Poké Ball. "Nidoking, Horn Attack that Bulbasaur!"
Nidoking roars once it materializes, charges at Bulbasaur, and strikes the Pokémon with its horn, causing Bulbasaur to let go of Vicious with its Vine Whip and faint too.
"Ah! Bulbasaur, return!" Domino recalls Bulbasaur back in its Poké Ball.
The Iron-Masked Marauder recalls Nidoking before flying away with Jessie's Meowth. Jessie grits her teeth in anger. "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!" She immediately pulls out her Safari Ball from her purse. "Scyther, I need you immediately!" Jessie sends out Scyther.
Scyther materializes. "Scyther."
Squirtle hops onto Jessie's shoulder and Jessie hops onto Scyther's back, Domino and James are about to join her, but Jessie stops them. "Don't come with me. I'll get Meowth by myself. Just notify the police."
James and Domino both nod at Jessie's statement.
Jessie points at The Iron-Masked Marauder in the air. "Scyther, after that thief!"
"Scyther!" Scyther takes flight with Jessie on its back and starts going after The Iron-Masked Marauder.
James looks at Domino. "Come on, let's notify the police!"
Domino looks back at James and nods. "Right!"
It cuts to The Iron-Masked Marauder flying through the air with his jetpack and Scyther following right behind him with Jessie on its back and getting closer and closer.
"Almost there." Jessie begins to slowly stand up on Scyther's back while the mantis Pokémon proceeds to get closer and closer. At the right moment, Jessie jumps off Scyther's back and grabs The Iron-Masked Marauder's leg.
"HEY!" The Iron-Masked Marauder looks back, seeing Jessie grabbing his leg. "Let go, you annoying pest!" He begins kicking Jessie with his other leg, trying to get her to let go, but Jessie continues to hang on.
"NO!" Jessie answered back, frustrated. "You're not getting Meowth!" She throws a punch and hits The Iron-Masked Marauder's chin.
"OW! OKAY THAT'S IT!" The Iron-Masked Marauder aimed his arm cannon at Jessie and was about to shoot her, but unfortunately for him, Vicious wasn't looking where he was going. Because of his focus on Jessie, he accidentally jetpacks into a tree, which causes a huge explosion, sending the Pokémon, Vicious, and Jessie in three different directions while they are sent off into the sky and screaming.
It cuts to where Jessie was landing and that was in a tree, breaking her fall from the ground, however, she falls from the branches breaking and soon hits the ground.
"Ow…" Jessie slowly gets up. "That was a rough landing." She looks around and doesn't see Meowth, Squirtle, or Scyther then she starts getting worried. "I have to find Squirtle, Scyther, and especially Meowth! I need to find Meowth before that iron-masked guy does!" Jessie pulls out three Poké Balls from her purse. "Everyone else, I need your help!" She sends out the rest of her Pokémon.
Electabuzz, Rapidash, and Haunter all said their cries once the three Pokémon materialized.
"Okay, I need your help to find the rest of my Pokémon. Meowth is in danger, come on!" Jessie sprints off to find the rest of her Pokémon with her other Pokémon following her.
It cuts to a different location in the forest, where the Iron-Masked Marauder has landed. He is seen face-planted on the ground. Vicious slowly gets up and groans in pain.
"Ugh… that's gonna leave a mark. But no time to waste, I need to find that Meowth!" Vicious tries to use his jetpack, but it's all busted up and unusable now from the collision and explosion. "Are you fucking kidding me?! That idiot of a trainer isn't getting lucky this time. I'll find that Meowth on foot!" He walks off on his own to find Jessie's Meowth.
Now it cuts to the location of the forest where Meowth, Squirtle, and Scyther landed. Scyther and Squirtle slowly get up, while Meowth is still trapped in the bazooka net.
"Ow, my head." Meowth holds his head from experiencing pain. "Hey, can one of you release me from this net please?!"
Squirtle and Scyther rush towards the trapped Meowth. Both Pokémon looked at the bazooka net and noticed two buttons on it.
"Squirtle?"
("Do we press one of the buttons?")
Scyther shrugs in response. "Scyther?"
("I guess so?")
Squirtle presses the second lower button on the bazooka net, which releases Meowth from the net.
"About time! Being in that net was so crowded!" Meowth gets up and stretches. "Are ya guys alright?"
Both Squirtle and Scyther nod their heads. "Squirtle!" "Scyther!"
("Yes!")
"Alright. Scyther, we need to find Jessie quickly. Fly us out of here!" Meowth commanded the Mantis Pokémon.
Scyther tries to use its wings to fly, but unfortunately, one of his wings is injured from the explosion, and immediately falls back down to the ground in pain. "Scyther!"
("One of my pair of wings is broken!")
Meowth eyes widened. "What?!"
"Squirtle, Squirtle!"
(Come on man, we need to find Jessie right now!"
"Scyther, Scyther."
("Sorry Meowth and Squirtle, but we're going have to search for Jessie on foot.")
Meowth takes a big sigh. "Well it's better to keep on moving and now just stand here like a Psyduck! Let's go!"
Meowth, Squirtle, and Scyther all start moving along the forest to find their trainer. It cuts to where Jessie and the rest of her Pokémon are.
"I-I just hope we can find Meowth, Squirtle, and Scyther before that iron guy does," Jessie says, looking very worried.
Electabuzz, Rapidash, and Haunter both try to encourage Jessie to not worry and to keep searching. "Elebububu!" "Neigh!" "Ha Ha!"
Jessie looks at her Pokémon, taking a deep breath. "You're right, I should focus more on trying to find the others, especially Meowth."
A nearby bush starts rattling, which immediately catches Jessie and her three Pokémon's attention.
"Meowth?!" Jessie immediately assumed.
The Pokémon, which resembles a tapir, pops up from the bushes and confronts Jessie. "Drowzee!"
Jessie pulls out her Pokédex to identify the Pokémon.
"Drowzee, the Hypnosis Pokémon. Psychic type. Puts enemies to sleep and then eats their dreams. Occasionally gets sick from eating bad dreams."
"Interesting." Jessie puts her Pokédex away. "Sorry Drowzee, but I'm in a hurry!" She tries to run off, but the wild Drowzee stops her from doing that.
Drowzee wags its finger back and forth to her. "Drowzee!"
"Come on, Drowzee! I have no time here to goof around!" Jessie yells at Drowzee, frustrated.
Jessie's Pokémon all also yell at Drowzee as well. "Elebububu!" "Neigh!" "Ha Ha!"
Drowzee starts to wave its hands, releasing multiple multicolored circles from its face at Jessie and her Pokémon.
"OH NO, DROWZEE IS USING HYPNOSIS!" Jessie warned her three Pokémon.
Jessie and the rest of her Pokémon all managed to get out of the way and avoid Drowzee's Hypnosis to avoid going to sleep.
Jessie grits her teeth. "You want a battle? You got one! Haunter use Lick!"
"Ha Ha!" Haunter floats over to Drowzee and licks the Pokémon with its tongue.
Drowzee cries out in extreme pain from the super-effective move. "DROWZEE!"
Jessie pulls out an empty Poké Ball. "Poké Ball, go!" She throws it at the wild Drowzee.
The Poké Ball hits Drowzee and the Pokémon goes inside the Poké Ball and begins shaking.
"If I do catch it, the Poké Ball will just transport right to Professor Oak's lab. I got to find Meowth immediately." Jessie turns to her Pokémon. "Come on, let's go!"
Electabuzz, Rapidash, and Haunter all nod, as Jessie and the rest of her Pokémon sprint off, leaving and not watching to see if the Poké Ball that Drowzee is in will click. Drowzee burst out of the Poké Ball.
"Drowzee!" The Pokémon cries out in frustration and leaves the area.
It cuts to the part of the area of the forest where The Iron-Masked Marauder is. The number one agent is still looking for Meowth on foot and can't find him.
"Come on out, kitty, kitty. I have some cat nip for you!" Vicious grins evilly from his lie.
A nearby bush starts rattling which catches Vicious by surprise.
"Wow! I didn't know that would work!" Vicious reaches to pull out his bazooka net but doesn't feel anything and then he remembers. "Dammit! My bazooka net got separated from me by that explosion. Whatever, I'll knock that cat unconscious! Nidoking, use Double Kick!" The Iron-Masked Marauder sends out his Nidoking.
Nidoking roars into battle after the Pokémon materializes. Nidoking's feet glow white and he jumps into the air above the bush, then proceeds to kick the Pokémon that was hiding.
"Drowzee!" The Pokémon cries in pain as it is kicked out from the bush. It wasn't Meowth, but the Drowzee that Jessie encountered earlier.
Nidoking was about to kick the Drowzee again until Vicious stopped him. "Nidoking, that's enough. Not the Pokémon we're looking for." Vicious frustratedly looking at the Drowzee. "Thanks for wasting my time!" He and Nidoking began walking away.
Drowzee gets in front of The Iron-Masked Marauder and Nidoking and starts crying out to them, saying it knows where Jessie is. "Drowzee! Drowzee! Drowzee!"
"Get out of the way!" Vicious was about to push the wild Drowzee until he saw his Nidoking communicating with it with his roar.
Nidoking looks at his trainer and roars at him to communicate and then points at the Drowzee.
"You're saying I should follow this Drowzee?" He asked.
Nidoking nods back at Vicious in response.
"Drowzee!" Drowzee starts running in a direction as Iron-Masked Marauder and his Nidoking begin following it.
It cuts to Meowth, Squirtle, and Scyther walking around and calling out for Jessie.
"Jessie!" Meowth shouted.
"Scyther!" "Squirtle!"
("Jessie!")
Meowth's nose starts to pick up. "Guys… I think I sense her with my smell now! She must be near!"
Scyther and Squirtle look at each other.
"Squirtle?"
("You can smell her?")
"Scyther…"
("I don't know how that's possible…")
"When you've been with Jessie since the very beginning, you can just pick up her sense of smell when she's close by. Now stop talking and follow me!" Meowth sprints off to find her trainer with Squirtle and Scyther following him from behind.
It cuts to the area where Jessie, Electabuzz, Rapidash, and Haunter are, calling for Meowth.
"Meowth! Where are you?!" She called out. "I have to keep looking. I can't let that iron guy steal my Meowth!"
Electabuzz's antennas perk up. "Electabuzz!" The Pokémon cries out.
Jessie and the rest of her Pokémon look at Electabuzz. "Are you picking up Meowth nearby, Electabuzz?"
Electabuzz nods and sprints in the direction where he thinks Meowth might be as Jessie and her two other Pokémon follow her. It shows side by side of Meowth and Jessie sprinting with the other Pokémon following behind. Jessie and Meowth spot each other in the distance.
"JESSIE!" Meowth called out in delight.
"MEOWTH!" Jessie called back.
Jessie and Meowth both immediately hug each other after finding one another. The rest of the Pokémon looked on and smiled at them. However, the moment is ruined by the sound of slow clapping as they turn their attention to where it is coming from and there is The Iron-Masked Marauder with his Nidoking and the wild Drowzee by his side.
"Congratulations on such a beautiful moment, but unfortunately the reunion party is over!" Vicious grins evilly.
All of Jessie's Pokémon, minus Meowth, stand in the way between Vicious and Jessie, to protect their trainer as Jessie gets in front of Meowth.
"You're not taking my Meowth!" She then noticed the red letter R on The Iron-Masked Marauder's shirt over his red chest plate. "Wait, you're part of Team Rocket!"
"Congrats, Sherlock Holmes!" Vicious looks at Drowzee. "Drowzee!"
Drowzee's eyes glow blue and all of Jessie's Pokémon are flying back one after one and hitting against a tree. Now it was just Jessie standing in front of Vicious.
"Electabuzz, use-"
Vicious interrupts Jessie. "Oh, I wouldn't do that if I was you." The Iron-Masked Marauder aims his arm cannon at Squirtle. "Unless you want one of your Pokémon dead, I advise you not to command a move on me. This arm cannon can kill any living thing with one blast!"
Jessie remains silent, gritting her teeth in frustration.
"Good. Now be a good little pest and let me steal your Meowth. Drowzee."
Drowzee's eyes glow blue and then Jessie flung back to a tree.
"JESSIE!" Meowth called out.
"Perfect! Now you're mine!" The Iron-Masked Marauder gets closer to Meowth.
"NO!" Jessie immediately gets up and stands in front of Meowth once more. "You're not taking my Meowth!"
"You annoying little brat! That's it, the only way you're getting out of my way is if I kill you!" Vicious aimed his arm cannon right at Jessie and was about to fire it.
Squirtle sees this and immediately starts glowing white, signaling evolution as the Pokémon evolves into Wartortle.
Jessie sees Squirtle evolving and sheds a tear in happiness, before closing her eyes and braces for impact.
Before Vicious can fire, a log comes out of nowhere and hits him right in the head. "WHAT THE?!" Vicious looks behind him.
Jessie immediately takes the opportunity from the distraction. "NOW!"
All of Jessie's Pokémon immediately began attacking The Iron-Masked Marauder, and his Pokémon, at all costs as Nidoking and Drowzee fainted and Vicious was on the ground in intense pain. Sirens were heard nearby and it was Officer Jenny on a motorcycle who immediately arrived to handcuff Vicious.
"Got you, criminal!" Officer Jenny says.
"JESSIE!" Domino and Jessie are heard calling for Jessie's name as they sprint towards her and hug her and she hugs back with her friends.
"I want to thank you, Jessie, for helping catch a dangerous Team Rocket member!" Jenny says.
Jessie nods. "And I want to thank you for saving my life by throwing that log!"
Officer Jenny raises an eyebrow. "What log? I didn't throw any logs?"
Jessie's eyes widened. "Huh?"
It shows the Team Rocket trio hiding behind a tree.
"No one steals that Meowth but us!" Cassidy says.
"Damn right!" Both Butch and Mondo agreed.
It cuts to the gang walking back on the trail.
"That was a close one, Jessie…" Domino says.
"We're glad you and Meowth are alright," James added.
"It was very crazy!" Meowth added as well.
"I know, but at the end of the day…" Jessie takes out a Poké Ball and hugs it. "It was all worth it because I got a Wartortle now!"
It cuts to Team Rocket's base where Giovanni is. A Team Rocket grunt notifies him about Vicious' arrest.
"WHAT?!" Giovanni screamed out in shock.
