บท 78: Saving Three Birds With One Pokémon
The episode starts with Jessie and Meowth outside of double doors with a sign that says 'kitchen' on top of it. "This must be the place," she says to herself as she slowly peeks in the door.
What Jessie sees in the kitchen is a bunch of chefs focusing on the stove. One of the chefs uses a ladle to scoop up a portion in his pot and taste it. "I need a little more seasoning."
Jessie continues peeking until she spots the door that leads to the stairs of the kitchen basement, she then stops peeking through the crack of the double doors "How am I going to get through those chefs?" She starts thinking to herself before getting an idea.
In the kitchen, as one of the chefs was mixing his pot with his whisk, he spotted Jessie, with Meowth on her shoulder, walking and looking at her. "Miss, who are you?"
"Oh me? This is the kitchen, right?" Jessie responded, acting confused.
"Well yes ma'am, it is the kitchen." A different chef responded.
Jessie acts like she sighs in relief and continues trying to trick them. "Oh thank goodness. This place is like a maze! I'm new here, I was just hired by Archer to be one of his chefs and he said I could get my chef uniform in the kitchen and start my first day."
One of the chefs spots Meowth. "Why do you have a Meowth on your shoulder? We Chefs are not allowed to have Pokémon with us due to this brainwashing thing."
"Come to think of it, that Meowth doesn't look like it's brainwashed." The first chef pointed out.
Jessie's eyes widened in fear of getting caught but then comes up with an answer. "This Meowth can slice up perfect vegetables like it's nothing. Archer told me to bring him here." She grabs a tomato on the kitchen counter nearby. "Observe! Ready Meowth?" Jessie throws the tomato in the air.
Meowth jumps up in the air as his claws glow white and slices the tomato perfectly into portions.
Jessie catches the tomato slices in her hands and shows them off to the chefs with a smirk. "Ta-da!"
All the chefs were very impressed as they all clapped at the duo. "Wonderful! Wonderful! We all will be glad to have both of you on the chef team. You can get your uniform at the kitchen basement, just head down the stairs over there." One of the chefs points at the stairs.
"Thank you very much!" Jessie bows to the chef to show gratitude before she starts heading to the stairs. Jessie and Meowth both smirk. "Moltres, here we come."
The title screen shows.
"Saving Three Birds With One Pokémon"
The scene cuts to Domino, with Ditto in her arms, arriving at the door leading to the air conditioning system. "This must be the place."
Ditto nods in agreement. "Ditto."
Domino carefully opens the door and once entering the room, across the door, she sees Articuno unconscious and its two arms and two legs are strapped on them tight.
"Articuno!" Domino gasps as she immediately runs over to the legendary bird. "This is awful, I can't believe they're doing this to you!"
"You twerps never seem to go away!" Mondo reveals himself behind Articuno.
Ditto immediately hides behind Domino's leg as she immediately takes a step back and grits her teeth. "Mondo, release Articuno, now!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that, water twerpette. I'm loyal to Team Rocket and the only way you're gonna save Articuno is through a Pokémon battle against me!" Mondo realizes something and laughs. "Pardon me I forgot, but you don't have a Pokémon that will even listen to you!"
"Think again!" Domino replied, clutching her fist.
Ditto reveals itself sadly to its trainer. "Ditto…"
Mondo stops laughing as soon he sees his own Ditto. "D-Ditto?!" He tries to search for its Poké Ball in his pockets in a panic before stopping to come to a realization. "Y-you're working for the twerps now after all we've been through together?!" Mondo starts shedding tears.
Ditto looks down. "Ditto…"
Domino tries to talk to Mondo. "Mondo, I know you want your Marowak to listen to you again, but this isn't the way with all of these technological gadgets. We have to do it the right way and that's stopping what psychic Pokémon is brainwashing all the Pokémon! So let us save Articuno and come back to teaming with us."
Mondo looks away with tears in his eyes before looking back at Domino. "I'll make you pay!" He pulls out a control remote and presses a button.
The remote that Mondo presses causes the whole room to be blasted with cold air from Articuno's power being absorbed as Domino starts shivering. "What did you do?!"
Mondo answers with a grin. "Oh nothing, just hit a button that causes this whole room to be blasted with cold air from Articuno, so cold that if any human stays in here for some time, they start to slowly freeze to death!"
Domino starts talking inside her mind while gritting her teeth. "If I want to save Articuno, I have to beat Mondo in a quick battle before I freeze." She now talks out loud. "I'm gonna save Articuno with the Pokémon you bonded a lot with. You're gonna regret betraying us!"
Mondo's now filled with anger as he pulls out a Poké Ball. "If you want to save Articuno, you're going have to get through me first. I will always be loyal to Team Rocket! Marowak, I choose you!"
Marowak materializes, with its eyes still red but is wearing those Team Rocket control collars around its neck. "Marowak! Marowak! Marowak!"
Domino puts on her serious face. "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you're gonna get. Let's go Ditto!" She points.
Ditto steps up in the battle against Marowak. "Ditto!"
The scene cuts to James arriving at the door leading to the generator area. "This must be it." Upon entering the room, he sees the legendary bird Zapdos unconscious and strapped from its wings and legs. The straps on the legendary bird were causing it to be used for power to the generator and then James sees Butch standing right in front of Zapdos. "Stop this right now, Butch!" James demanded.
Butch shakes his head. "No thanks! If you want to save Zapdos, sunglasses twerp, you're going have to beat me first!" He pulls out a Poké Ball and sends out his Pokémon.
Primeape materializes, also eyes are still red with the Team Rocket control collar around its neck. "Primeape! Primeape! Primeape!"
Butch laughs. "With no Pokémon even bothering to listen to you, you might as well give up!"
James grins, pulling out a Poké Ball. "Think again. Go Poké Ball!" He sends out a Pokémon of his own to Butch's shock.
James' Pokémon materializes and it's revealed to be Pikachu. Its eyes are still brainwashing-red but it's also wearing the control collar. "Pikachu! Pikachu! Pikachu!"
Butch widens his eyes in shock at James possessing one of the Team Rocket control collars. "How were you able to possess one of our collars?!"
"None of your business. Now are you ready to battle, Bruno?" James asked, purposefully getting Butch's name wrong.
"THE NAME IS BUTCH! YOU JUST SAID IT RIGHT EARLIER! YEAH, I HAVE BEEN READY TO BATTLE!" Butch replied to him by yelling and raising his fist in the air.
The scene cuts to the kitchen's basement where Jessie and Meowth see the entrance of a small room from the side of the wall. "Moltres must be around that wall! Let's go, Meowth!"
Before Jessie and Meowth could head around the wall, Cassidy appeared from behind it. "How did you even escape?! It doesn't matter because I'm stopping you right here and right now!"
"Yeah, right!" Jessie replied sarcastically. "Me, Domino, and James always get the upper hand on all three of you, no matter what!"
Cassidy grits her teeth, frustrated by Jessie's true statement. "This time it's going to be different! I'm going to stop you from saving Moltres and ruining Team Rocket's plans!"
"That sounds like battling talk!" Jessie turns to Meowth. "Ready, Meowth?"
Meowth walks right in front of Jessie, facing Cassidy as he shows his sharp claws. "Ready, Jess!"
Cassidy pulls out two Poké Balls. "Raticate and Muk teach Meowth a lesson!" She sends out the two Pokémon.
Raticate and Muk both materialize onto the made-up battlefield, both Pokémon's eyes start still red but with collars around their necks. "Raticate! Raticate! Raticate!" "Muk! Muk! Muk!"
"Hey! Two versus one is not fair!" Jessie called out.
"Oh boohoo!" Cassidy makes a crying motion with her hands. "When it comes to a Team Rocket battle there are no rules!"
Jessie grits her teeth before looking at Meowth. "You think you can take down both of them by yourself, Meowth?"
Meowth nods with a grin. "Oh definitely! It's Cassidy's Pokémon, after all, I can do it even blindfolded."
The scene cuts back to the air conditioning room where Domino and Mondo are about to battle with Domino calling out the first move. "There's one Pokémon I always want to own and here's my chance to experience it! Ditto transform into Lapras!"
"Ditto!" Ditto glows white and transforms into a Lapras.
Mondo commands his move. "Marowak, use Focus Energy!"
"Marowak!" A light-blue aura surrounds Marowak, as it's now focused on finding Lapras' weak spot.
"Ditto, use a Hydro Pump attack!" Domino commanded.
Ditto, as a Lapras, opens its mouth and releases jet streams of water right towards Marowak.
"Marowak, don't let that water hit you and dodge it!" Mondo countered.
"Marowak! Marowak! Marowak!" Marowak dodges the first set of water by jumping to its side and then another set of water by also jumping. Ditto keeps spitting jets of water at Marowak, but the bone keeper Pokémon keeps dodging them.
"Now use Headbutt!" Mondo commanded.
Marowak dodges another stream of water from Ditto by bouncing off the wall and then the bone keeper Pokémon headbutts Ditto-transformed Lapras right in the head with its skull, aiming for the weak spot too for more damage.
"DITTO!" Ditto shouts in pain from the critical damage.
"Ditto!" Domino looks at Mondo and grits her teeth. "Mondo, can't you see you're hurting one of your Pokémon you traveled with for a long time?!"
Mondo looks at Ditto-transformed Lapras in pain and has a worried expression for one second before shaking his head. "You betray Team Rocket and team up with the twerps, you're classified as a traitor! Marowak, use Thrash!"
"Marowak! Marowak! Marowak!" Marowak runs towards the Ditto-transformed Lapras and starts repeatedly attacking them with its bone.
"Ditto, Protect!" Domino commanded.
Ditto summons a shield barrier surrounding itself, protecting Ditto from the whacks of Marowak's bone.
Domino commands a move once more. "Now use Sing!"
Ditto starts mimicking Lapras' voice to sing. "La! La! La! Laaaaaa!" This causes Marowak to slowly get drowsy, then drop on the floor, and fall asleep as the shield barrier disappears.
Mondo starts getting worried. "Marowak, get up now!"
"Now that Marowak is asleep, Ditto use Hydro Pump!" Domino commanded.
"La!" Ditto opens its mouth and jets of water go right toward Marowak, hitting and fainting the bone keeper Pokémon.
"No, I failed, by my very own Pokémon too..." Mondo drops to the ground in defeat with a frown.
Domino passes Mondo and goes to the unconscious Articuno as Ditto follows her. "We gotta free Articuno. Ditto, can you transform into a Pokémon that can cut through these with ease?"
Ditto nods and glows white, transforming into a Scyther. "Scyther!"
"Great Choice! A Scyther should easily cut through these straps! Use Slash, quick, I'm freezing in here!" Domino starts shivering more from the cold.
Ditto's scythes start glowing white and the transformed Pokémon starts slashing the wires and freeing the unconscious Articuno from captivity.
Domino realizes the room is now less cold from freeing Articuno. "Much better!" She tries to pick up the unconscious Articuno off the ground but she struggles. "I can't pick Articuno up. Ditto, transform into a Pokémon that's strong enough!"
Ditto nods once more and glows white to transform into a Machoke. "Machoke!"
Domino smiles in delight. "I'm so glad you're on the team, Ditto."
The scene cuts to the generator room where James and Butch are about to battle with Pikachu and Primeape, both have control collars on their necks. Butch commands the first move. "Primeape, use Cross Chop!"
"Primeape! Primeape! Primeape!" Primeape jumps up in the air toward Pikachu, crosses its arms to form an X as its arms glow white, and heads directly toward the mouse Pokémon.
"Pikachu, dodge it!" James countered.
Pikachu quickly moves out of the way as Primeape's glowing arms end up hitting the ground from missing. "Pikachu! Pikachu! Pikachu!"
James commands his first move. "Now use Quick Attack!"
Pikachu's quickness makes it look like they're disappearing and reappearing in different spots, inches closer to Primeape until they fully attack the pig monkey Pokémon with its quickness.
"Primeape!" Primeape cries out in pain from taking damage.
Butch growls from frustration. "You're not gonna beat me this time, sunglasses twerp! Primeape, use Rage, and knock his Pikachu out!"
Primeape begins to get mad as its face shows a little red from anger. "PRIMEAPE! PRIMEAPE! PRIMEAPE!" It starts dashing towards Pikachu with rage.
James looks worried. "Pikachu, try to run away!"
Pikachu tries to run away, but Primeape manages to grab the mouse Pokémon's tail before they can. "PIKA?!"
"PRIMEAPE! PRIMEAPE! PRIMEAPE!" In a full rage, Primeape starts punching Pikachu brutally with its arm while still hanging onto its twin with the other one.
"That's right Primeape, make Pikachu pay for messing with you! More brutal force!" Butch commanded.
As James watches Primeape punching Pikachu brutally, he starts to get worried about Pikachu fainting until he comes up with an idea. "Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!"
"PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!" Pikachu releases a stream of electricity from the tip of its tail. With Primeape still holding onto it, not only does the pig monkey Pokémon get shocked, but paralyzed too as it falls to one knee and lets go of Pikachu's tail.
"Primeape, continue with your rage, come on!" Butch commanded in anger.
Primeape tries to get up, but the paralysis forces the pig monkey Pokémon back on its knees.
"Now's your chance, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!" James commanded.
"PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!" Pikachu releases multiple bolts of yellow electricity from its cheek sacs at Primeape, electrocutes the pig monkey Pokémon, and faints it from the battle.
"PRIMEAPE, NO!" Butch rushes to his Primeape and falls to his knees in defeat. "I can't believe I lost to you again…"
"Well get used to it!" James runs past Butch to Zapdos and Pikachu follows. "I need to find a way to get these straps off of Zapdos. Pikachu, do you think you can use a move sharp enough to cut through these straps?"
Pikachu doesn't respond with a nod or a head shake. The mouse Pokémon just stares into oblivion while saying the same angry cry. "PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!"
James sighs. "Right, you're still brainwashed… Come on James, think!" He starts to have a quick flashback of Jessie's Gym Battle conclusion with Misty.
The flashback starts with Jessie commanding Pikachu to use a specific move. "Fling it back against the wall with Iron Tail!"
Pikachu's tail becomes metallic and flings back a spinning Starmie against the wall and it faints as the quick flashback ends.
"Perfect! Pikachu, use Iron Tail on the straps!" James commanded.
Pikachu's tail becomes metallic and cuts through the straps with it, freeing the unconscious Zapdos.
"I got you!" James picks up the unconscious Zapdos from the ground. He notices the lights start flickering above them. "Oh no! Zapdos was the main power supply of the building, which means this base is about to lose power in a moment! I have to find Jessie and Domino quickly!" James carries Zapdos on its shoulders out of the room as Pikachu follows.
The scene cuts to mid-battle with Jessie and Cassidy. Meowth looks pretty beat up and Raticate and Muk don't look tired at all. Cassidy then starts laughing. "Did you really think you were gonna win against a two versus one, twerpette?"
Jessie grits her teeth. "This battle still isn't over yet, Cassidy!"
"We'll see about that! Ractiate, Hyper Fang and Muk, Sludge Bomb!" Cassidy commanded.
"Meowth, try to dodge both attacks!" Jessie countered.
Raticate's teeth shine and dash to bite Meowth, but the talking Pokémon dodges by sliding under the mouse Pokémon, Meowth gets hit by globs of brown sludge by Muk, screaming in pain and taking damage. "Jess, I don't know if I can take two Pokémon at once by myself!"
"Time to finish this once and for all! Raticate, use-" Before Cassidy could command her move, she gets interrupted by the kitchen basement's lights completely shutting off by the lack of power, leaving the room in complete blackness. "What the?! What's going on?! What happened to the lights?!"
As the lights are off, Jessie notices the lack of light in the room of Moltres' flames as she looks at the little room around the wall. "Wait a minute, shouldn't this basement be at least a little bit from the flames from Moltres?" She said quietly to herself. Jessie calls Cassidy out for this. "Cassidy, where is Moltres?"
"Obviously in the small room behind me, isn't it obvious why I'm here and trying to stop you?" Cassidy answered.
Jessie responds to what she was thinking earlier. "If that was true then this room shouldn't be completely in darkness black. Moltres' flame should at least cast a little light!"
"I don't have to explain shit to you, twerp!" Cassidy replied angrily.
"Then I'll knock out your Pokémon to make you talk! Meowth, use Thunderbolt!" Jessie commanded.
"You got it!" Meowth's body starts flowing with electricity.
Cassidy is angered. "You can't battle my Pokémon in complete blackness! Raticate and Muk can't see good in the darkness, this is not fair!"
"Oh, but I could've sworn what you said earlier at the start of the battle that there are no rules of a battle against Team Rocket right?" Jessie says rhetorically. "Release the electricity, Meowth!"
Meowth delivers a thunderbolt right at Raticate and Muk, electrocuting them both and they faint from the battle. "And that's all, folks!"
Cassidy growls and recalls both Raticate and Muk. "I would've had you, twerp, if it wasn't for the power going out!"
"Meowth, you can see well in the dark, right? Get Cassidy to talk! I want to know where Moltres is!" Jessie commanded.
"I'm on it, Jess!" Meowth starts running towards Cassidy.
"No, you will not! You will never take me alive!" Cassidy turns around and tries to run away, but can't see where she is going and accidentally hits a wall and falls to the floor.
Meowth grabs Cassidy by the face and sharpens his claws. "You better start talking unless you want Meowth to give you a brand new makeover with scratch marks!"
"No, please!" Cassidy immediately gives in. "Okay, I'll talk! Archer secretly has Moltres with him inside of some mysterious Poké Ball."
"'A mysterious Poké Ball'?" Jessie questioned.
"Archer secretly kept Moltres with him just in case we failed our missions because we're 'untrustworthy' or 'failures', or any other insults he mostly had under his sleeve," Cassidy growls.
"Come on, Meowth, we have to meet up with James and Domino before Archer escapes with Moltres!" Jessie starts sprinting to the stairs as Meowth follows.
The scene cuts to the door of the roof opening and it was Archer walking and spotting his helicopter. "Almost there! Got to escape with Moltres!"
Archer was about to sprint to his helicopter when he heard Jessie's voice. "STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Archer turns around and Jessie, Domino, James, and each of their Pokémon at the door, with James and Ditto carrying two of the three legendary birds who are still unconscious, Zapdos and Articuno. "You're going anywhere, Archer!" Domino says.
Archer grits his teeth in annoyance. "How did you three annoying brats figure out I would be on my roof?!"
"Because we know you had a helicopter, so we put two and two together," James answered.
Archer grins. "Well I'm already just a couple of footsteps away from my helicopter and you brats are just over there at the entrance. I can get in and escape right now, what makes you think you can stop me from doing that?"
Jessie takes a step in front, speaking up. "I got something that will and that's a battle. You against the three of us! If you win, we will let you escape with Moltres, also taking Articuno and Zapdos with you, and won't try to stop you. If we win, you must release Moltres and turn yourself in to the police!"
"Really?! You would let me have Articuno and Zapdos too!" Archer laughs. "Oh, this is going to be fun!" He pulls out a Poké Ball that's dark gray from the bottom and light gray from the top with a red letter R on it. Archer throws the unfamiliar Poké Ball in the air.
What Pokémon materializes is the third and final legendary bird, Moltres, who shouts out its cry angrily.
"No way! It's Moltres!" Domino and James both said at the same time.
"Moltres, what are you doing? This man kidnapped you and you're gonna listen to his orders?!" Jessie questioned in disbelief.
Moltres yells out its cry in response to Jessie's question.
"Jessie, I don't think Moltres is going to listen unless we beat 'em," Meowth says.
"Then I'll go first!" James declared, stepping up first to the plate and laying Zapdos down. "Pikachu's electric typing should walk circles around, Moltres! Ready, Pikachu?"
Pikachu runs to the made-up battlefield of the roof, ready to battle as the red sacs on its cheeks start becoming static. "PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!"
Archer notices one of their collars is around Pikachu's neck. "How did you get a collar around that yellow rat?"
"None of your business!" James starts with the first move. "Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!"
Pikachu sends a stream of electricity to Moltres from its body.
"Use Safeguard." Archer countered.
Moltres screeches, its body becomes outlined of blue and then a blue barrier forms around Moltres, and reflects Pikachu's Thunder Wave, protecting the legendary bird from being paralyzed.
Archer points at his opponent's Pikachu. "Now use Flamethrower!"
Moltres opens its beak and releases a large red-orange stream of fire at Pikachu.
"Use your Agility to Dodge it, Pikachu!" James countered.
Pikachu quickly disappears and reappears in a different location of the made-up battlefield to dodge the Flamethrower attack, but to James' surprise, Pikachu still ends up getting hit by Moltres' Flamethrower attack.
"NO WAY!" James says in shock.
Domino has a concerned look on her face. "Moltres is a legendary Pokémon, so it would make sense for it to be a tough opponent."
Jessie was thinking to herself. "I have to find a way to snap Moltres back to reality and make it realize what's going on!"
Back to the battle, James commands his next move. "Use Thunder, Pikachu!"
"PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!" Pikachu fires a massive beam of yellow electricity from its body at Moltres.
"Dodge it." Archer countered.
Moltres screeched and flew out of the way to dodge Pikachu's Thunder.
James grits his teeth in anger. "I got to land one Thunder on that Moltres! Pikachu, use Thunder again!"
"PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!" Pikachu sends out more massive beams of yellow electricity at Moltres while the legendary bird flies.
"You know what to do, Moltres, dodge them!" Archer countered.
Moltres starts flying all around the place, dodging every single Thunder attack Pikachu throws at it.
Pikachu soon loses electricity juice and starts taking deep breaths from tiredness. "Pikachu… Pikachu… Pikachu…"
Archer has an intense look in his eyes. "Now's your chance Moltres, use Sky Attack!"
James' eyes shoot up wide. "S-Sky Attack?"
Moltres starts glowing orange and then flies down directly toward Pikachu at top speed while screeching aggressively, destroying Pikachu and fainting it, leaving the gang completely shocked.
"PIKACHU!" James picks up Pikachu and looks to see that the attack has destroyed the control collar as well. "You're collar… I better get you back in the Poké Ball," he recalls Pikachu back in its Poké Ball.
"So that was Sky Attack? That has to be one of Moltres' powerful moves." Jessie says.
"So who's up next against this powerful legendary bird, hmm?" Archer asked.
Domino steps up. "I'm next! Are you ready, Ditto?"
Ditto, still as a Machop, places Articuno down and steps up to the battlefield against Moltres, transforming back to its original form. "Ditto!"
Archer stares down at Ditto. "You're Mondo's Ditto, right? How dare you betray Team Rocket, I can't wait to destroy you."
Domino commands her first move. "Alright then! Ditto, transform into a Lapras!"
Ditto glows white and is now transformed into a Lapras, mocking its cry. "La!"
Archer snickers. "Wasting your move by transforming? You're gonna regret that. Moltres, use Fire Spin!"
Moltres releases a stream of fire from its mouth at the ground, forming a circle around Ditto-Lapras and dealing little damage.
"You just scowled at me for wasting a move yet you used a non-effective move on Ditto. So who just wasted a move now?" Domino smirks.
"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure because look." Archer points at Ditto-Lapras.
Fire swirls around Ditto-Lapras and the transformed Pokémon yelps in pain, taking more damage.
Domino looks shocked. "What?!"
Archer explains to Domino. "You see, the move Fire Spin traps a Pokémon in a fire vortex. Every single minute passes, Ditto takes more and more damage. It's nice seeing a traitor in misery and pain every single minute!"
"Not until I use this move! Ditto, use Rain Dance!" Domino commanded.
Ditto-Lapras looks up to the sky and mocks its cry. "La! La! La!"
A few seconds later, storm clouds start forming over the roof and it starts raining. "Not this again!" Meowth immediately jumps onto Jessie's shoulder and hides under her pink hat.
"That should stop it!" Domino said with a smile but it quickly faded as she saw that Ditto-Lapras was taking more damage from the fire vortex again. "It didn't work?!"
Archer laughs. "Silly girl, you can't get rid of Fire Spin's effect, even by water!"
Domino grits her teeth. "It doesn't matter, because Rain Dance's effect powers up water-type moves and lowers Moltres' fire-type moves! One water attack should end that bird! Ditto, use Hydro Pump!"
"La!" Ditto-Lapras shoots out jet streams of water from its mouth at Moltres.
"Dodge it, Moltres!" Archer countered.
Moltres dodges the Hydro Pump by flying out of the way and then Ditto-Lapras takes more damage from the fire vortex.
Domino starts getting frustrated from the fire vortex dealing damage to Ditto-Lapras. "Keep using Hydro Pump, again and again, Ditto, until you hit that bird!"
Ditto-Lapras releases more jet streams of water from its mouth towards Moltres.
"Dodge all of them, Moltres!" Archer countered once more.
Moltres keep dodging each Hydro Pump over and over to avoid getting hit. Each dodge, Ditto-Lapras takes more and more damage from the fire vortex from the effects of Fire Spin.
Domino commands the same move. "Use Hydro Pump again, Ditto!"
Ditto-Lapras was taking deep breaths from exhaustion. It opens its mouth to use Hydro Pump, but no water comes out. Then the fire vortex deals damage again one more time before the transformed Pokémon drops to the ground and faints from the battle. Ditto transforms back into its original form upon fainting. "Ditto…" Upon Ditto's fainting, the sky returns to normal.
Domino gasps. "Ditto!" She rushes to Ditto's aid and picks it up.
Meowth peaks under Jessie's hat. "Is the rain gone now? Sweet!"
"Meowth!" Jessie grabs Meowth from the top of her head. "Looks like we're the only one left that can stop Moltres and Archer; Ditto just fainted!"
Moltres lands near Archer who's showing a grin as Meowth gulps. "I don't know if I can do this, Jess."
James tries to encourage Meowth. "Meowth, you took down both Articuno and Zapdos, I know you can do it! Show that Archer guy who's boss!"
"Kick his butt, Meowth!" Domino joined in.
Meowth takes deep breaths. "Okay, I can do it!" He jumps from Jessie's head to the made-up battle against Moltres. "Alright you flaming chicken, I'm going to destroy you!" Meowth shows his sharp claws to the legendary bird.
Archer raises an eyebrow upon seeing the talking Meowth. "So… you're the talking Meowth my boss has been talking about. Maybe I can give you to him as a reward for forgiveness for not getting the other two legendary birds." He chuckles.
"In your dreams!" Jessie commands her first move. "Meowth, use Fury Swipes!"
"Time for me to give you a taste of my claws!" Meowth jumps towards Moltres with all of his claws out.
Archer intense points at Meowth. "Dodge them, Moltres!"
Meowth tries to swipe Moltres, but the legendary bird quickly flies out of the way and lands on a different spot on the battlefield. "Quit moving!" Meowth tries to swipe Moltres again, but the legendary bird once more flies out of the way and to a different spot. "You got wings and I don't! This is unfair!"
"Now Moltres, Fire Spin!" Archer commanded.
The gang all had their eyes widened in fear when Archee called out that move. "Meowth, get out of there fast before you get sucked in the vortex!" Jessie commanded back.
Moltres screeches and fires a stream of fire from its mouth at Meowth.
"AH!" Meowth tries to jump out of the way to dodge it, but the stream of fire is too fast for him, and gets caught in it as a fiery tornado forms around the talking Pokémon and Meowth takes damage. "Water wouldn't be so bad now…"
Jessie starts talking inside her mind while looking at Moltres. "Maybe I can snap Moltres awake from Archer's control. Just gotta get in its head." Now she tries to go through her plan. "Moltres, can't you see that this guy is using you for his very own purposes?!"
Archer shakes his head. "Talking isn't going to do the trick! Use Flamethrower!"
Moltres screeches and releases orange-red fire towards Meowth.
"Meowth, dodge it!" Jessie countered.
Meowth quickly gets on all fours and dashes out the way in time to dodge the Flamethrower. "I did it, Jess, I-" Meowth gets caught off by the fire vortex dealing more damage to him. "Ow…"
Archer just laughs at Meowth dodging Flamethrower. "Keep commanding your talking Meowth to dodge all you want, girl, but every minute passes, your Meowth takes damage from Fire Spin! So you better figure out a strategy to beat Moltres quickly!"
Both Domino and James have worried expressions. "Jessie needs to think of something fast, our world is on the line for the outcome of this battle!" Domino expressed.
"Come on Jessie, you got to think of something!" James shouted.
Jessie did think of something. She talks inside her mind once more. "Maybe I can jolt Moltres into reality with a little shock?" Then she commands her to move out loud. "Meowth, use Thunderbolt!"
"Dodge it, Moltres!" Archer countered.
Moltres spreads its wings and starts flying around the battlefield as Meowth sends a bolt of electricity right to the legendary bird and the Thunderbolt manages to strike Moltres. The legendary bird screeches in pain and hits the ground from the air.
James and Domino both smile in delight upon seeing Moltres getting hit. "Yes! Go Meowth!" They both said.
Meowth has a confident grin on his face. "Who's got the upper hand now?" But the fire vortex surrounds Meowth and he takes more damage. "Should've kept my mouth shut…"
Moltres gets back up from the ground and screeches at Meowth.
"You're not taking down Moltres that easily! Use Flamethrower!" Archer commanded with aggression.
"Dodge that Flamethrower, Meowth!" Jessie countered.
Moltres opens its mouth and releases a jet stream of orange-red fire from its mouth at Meowth. The talking Pokémon jumps out of the way left and right to try to dodge each Flamethrower, but the fire vortex surrounds Meowth again and goes down to one knee as a Flamethrower hits the talking Pokémon, sending him backward to the ground.
"MEOWTH!" Jessie, Domino, and James all shouted.
Archer looks down with eyes closed. "Game over, kid." But he starts to hear noises as he looks back up. "Huh?"
It was Meowth who was slowly getting back up. "Jessie, I don't know how long I can take this." The fire vortex forms, dealing more damage and sending Meowth kneeling. "Especially that keeps happening!"
"Your Meowth has guts, I'll admit, but it's time to finish this once and for all! Use Sky Attack!" Archer points directly at Meowth.
Moltres screeches loud and flies in the air. The legendary bird sees a weakened and hurt Meowth and starts flying toward the talking Pokémon at top speed while glowing flaming orange.
"This is it… we failed." Domino said with a frown.
"Moltres is just too strong…" James added, also frowning.
Jessie closes her eyes, gritting her teeth and she starts talking inside her mind. "I can't believe it, I let everyone down!" However, a Pokémon's voice is heard and she opens her eyes back up. "What?"
Domino and James see that Articuno and Zapdos are awake. "ARTICUNO! ZAPDOS!" They both screamed out.
Articuno and Zapdos woke up after being unconscious and they were both weakly screeching at Moltres.
Moltres immediately stops with its Sky Attack in the air on Meowth. The legendary bird was inches from hitting and finishing Meowth, stopping at the right time.
Archer was in disbelief. "What?! Moltres, how dare you defy me! Finish that Meowth, now!"
Jessie takes the opportunity to talk to Moltres. "Moltres! You got to listen to me now! If you do this, not only will you be under Team Rocket's captivity for the rest of your life but so will Articuno and Zapdos!"
Articuno and Zapdos continue weakly screeching at Moltres as the legendary bird lands and stands there still.
"Thanks for not sending me to knock out town back there." Meowth nervously chuckles before another fire vortex deals him damage. "Ow…"
Archer gets even more upset and starts yelling at the top of his lungs. "MOLTRES! LISTEN TO ME AND USE SKY ATTACK!"
Moltres angrily screeches at Archer, completely ignoring and refusing his orders.
"FINE THEN! MOLTRES, RETURN!" Archer Aggressively recalls Moltres back in its gray Team Rocket Poké Ball.
"HEY! You just recalled your Pokémon, that means I won the battle by forfeit! So you have to release Moltres and turn yourself in to the police!"
"As if I'll listen to an annoying little brat like you!" Archer turns around and starts to make a run for it to his helicopter.
The gang starts chasing Archer as they shout insults at him, minus James, with Jessie picking up Meowth before chasing. "Get back here, you coward! "You lost, you cop out!" "Be a man of your word here!"
Archer grins upon getting closer to his helicopter. "Almost there! Almost there!" However, a light blue ball of energy passes near Archer and strikes his helicopter, freezing it completely as he stops dead in his tracks. "WHAT?!" Archer looks to see Articuno and Zapdos both standing back up, seeing ice breath from Articuno's beak and he grunts from frustration.
Jessie and her friends are now caught up to Archer. "You're surrounded, Archer! Hand over that Team Rocket Poké Ball containing Moltres!"
"Like hell, I would!" Archer said before he started getting electrocuted by Zapdos' Thunder, causing him to drop the Team Rocket Poké Ball from his hand.
"I got it!" Jessie rushes and grabs the Team Rocket Poké Ball, throwing it on the ground and breaking it.
Upon breaking it, Moltres is released from the Team Rocket Poké Ball and screeches loudly. Articuno and Zapdos also screech, but directly to the gang, trying to tell them something.
Meowth immediately translates. "Guys! Articuno and Zapdos said they're gonna blow up the entire base along with Moltres! They said to hop on their backs!"
"Come on, let's go!" Domino exclaimed, with nods in response from Jessie and James. The gang hops on each legendary bird, Jessie hops on Moltres along with Meowth, Domino hops on Articuno along with Ditto, and James hops on Zapdos.
As the three legendary birds fly away with the gang, Archer slowly looks up after getting fried from electricity with so much anger expressed. "I'll get my revenge on you three brats! Someday!" He shakes his fist at the sky before looking at the edge of the roof. "Gotta jump off of here!" In pain, Archer slowly makes his way to the edge.
The scene cuts to the gang and the three legendary birds in the sky far away enough from the base. Jessie looks at Domino, who nods, who looks at James and he also nods. The gang points directly at the Team Rocket base with their fingers. "FIRE!" They all said together.
Moltres releases jets of fire from its mouth, Articuno releases a light ball of energy also from its mouth and Zapdos releases a bolt of electricity from its wings. Moltres' Flamethrower, Articuno's Ice Beam, and Zapdos' Thunder all combine into one powerful move as it hits and explodes the entirety of the Team Rocket base, causing a huge explosion from the distance.
"We did it, we saved the three legendary birds from Team Rocket," Jessie says.
"That was a close one. You almost lost, Jessie, thankfully Articuno and Zapdos woke up on time." James says, slightly petting Zapdos below him.
"Next stop is Cerulean Cave, right?" Domino asked.
Jessie nods and looks down at Moltres. "Moltres, can you, Articuno, and Zapdos take us to the entrance of Cerulean Cave?"
Moltres looks at Jessie before it and the other two legendary birds fly off with the gang.
The scene cuts to the entrance of the Cerulean Cave as the three legendary birds arrive near the entrance then the gang hops off and bows for thanks. "Thank you so much for everything, Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos," Jessie says.
Moltres screeches at Jessie in response as she is confused.
"What did Moltres say, Meowth?" Domino said.
Meowth was quick to translate. "Moltres said that you might want to have this."
Moltres extends one of its wings to Jessie and a fire feather slowly descends from the wing and lands on the ground. Jessie quickly picks it up with amazement upon looking at it in her hand. "The last feather I need… I almost forgot about it. Thank you so much, Moltres!"
Moltres nods before looking back at Articuno and Zapdos, the fire legendary bird screeches at them, and the two screen back before taking off in the sky as the gang all smile and wave goodbye at the legendary birds. "Thank you for everything!" "You three saved our bacon!" "Good luck out there!"
After waving goodbye, Jessie reaches into her purse and pulls out the other two feathers she gathered. The ice feather and the lightning as she holds it up with the fire feather directly to the blocked-off Cerulean Cave entrance. "We got them all."
"So what's next, Jess?" Domino asked.
As Jessie replays Domino's comment, the scene cuts to inside the Cerulean Cave where Mewtwo is currently standing on a cave platform surrounded by water with its eyes shut while Jessie is talking. "Our next goal is to beat the main Pokémon who's behind all of this brainwashing… Mewtwo!"
Mewtwo opens its eyes upon Jessie mentioning its name as the episode slowly fades to black.
