As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} are walking in the woods on their way to the ferry port in [[Lilycove City]]; {{AP|Pikachu}} is exceptionally happy. However Pikachu’s happiness doesn’t last long when the ground starts shaking. A tree starts falling down and almost hits Pikachu. After the sand clouds clear a big machine appears and is holding Pikachu. Once again it’s a contraption belonging to [[Team Rocket]]. It’s a machine they call the Mean and Nasty, Grumpy Grabber Mark One. Ash orders Pikachu to do a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack however the attack doesn’t even phase the machine because it’s made of a bunch of insulated recyclables mixed in with a bunch of rubber hoses. Ash and friends charge at the machine however fall into a pitfall dug by Team Rocket. It seems that Team Rocket is winning until their machine starts sinking into the soft sand. After a short time the machine itself starts crumbling and then explodes causing everyone to fly in the air. Ash tries desperately to catch Pikachu however Pikachu is much lighter than Ash so he flies through the air much faster.

Ash tries desperately to catch Pikachu however Pikachu is much lighter than Ash, and so flies through the air much faster.


In the next scene it appears Ash had blacked out and is starting to come around when he asks if everyone is alright. Everyone else starts coming around as well and says that they’re okay as well. At least they think they are. [[Max]] asks what happened and {{an|May}} thinks that Team Rocket’s machine blew up. Then Ash remembers what happened and starts frantically calling for Pikachu. Ash tries to make a run for it; however, he’s stuck in a tree! [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are also affected by the blast. Not only are they pasted to a tree themselves but they lost {{MTR}}. Jessie thinks they should go back to base but James thinks otherwise since Meowth might be lost. When we see Pikachu he’s lying in the grass unconscious. Pikachu sits up looking dazed and confused. He also happens to be sitting on top of Meowth’s head. Meowth panics when he sees Pikachu realizing that he might get zapped by him but Pikachu doesn’t shock Meowth. Meowth brings out his claws to attack Pikachu but Pikachu doesn’t do anything but stand there. Soon Meowth realizes that Pikachu must have amnesia. So Meowth plots to convince Pikachu that he belongs to Team Rocket and has since the day he was born and how much he’s been through. Pikachu believes Meowth!

As we rejoin Ash and friends, Ash orders {{AP|Swellow}} to go look for Pikachu as [[Brock]] orders {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} to look as well. Jessie and James are also lost in the woods. James calls out for Meowth and Jessie calls out for home base. James reminds Jessie that bases can’t talk. Going back to Meowth and Pikachu, they are strolling happily through the woods looking for the Team Rocket base. Meowth remembers all the traps and pitfalls they got into trying to catch Pikachu but as of today that’s all in the past. Then a {{p|Zigzagoon}} appears out of the bushes along with a Beedrill. Pikachu does a thunderbolt attack on the {{p|Beedrill}} and it flies away. Meowth thinks about how kind Pikachu is and wonders who’d be mean enough to capture it and then remembers he’s the bad guy so he would. Then Pikachu and Meowth continue their search for base.

Next Pikachu and Meowth are walking on a narrow ledge. Pikachu has no problem but Meowth is afraid. Meowth goes back to thinking Pikachu’s kind and brave and only a complete jerk would capture and that’s Meowth. Meowth then tells Pikachu a lie on how he once saved Pikachu’s life when it was burning up with fever and Meowth was nursing him back to health. Then Meowth steps on a weak part of the ledge and falls through. Pikachu grabs Meowth by the tail and tries to pull him back up.

Ash and friends are still looking and calling for Pikachu. Then Mudkip gets a vibration of something to the right. They see the footprints from the same place as the earlier Beedrill attack. They recognize it to be the tracks of Pikachu, Meowth, and a Zigzagoon.

Meowth is seen sitting on the edge of a pond looking down at his reflection and thinking about that explosion must have knocked them half way across the country and no where near home base. Pikachu comes with an apple and is willing to give it to Meowth because Pikachu knew Meowth was hungry. Meowth learns that this was the only apple and Pikachu wouldn’t have had any so he decided to split it with Pikachu.

Jessie and James then finally reach home base and Jessie is thrilled. James also agrees that it might not be pretty but it’s what they call home. Jessie goes right on in and says it’s time to eat and they’ll wait for Meowth to turn up. James asks if it would be better to go looking for Meowth but Jessie says to put it in park and wait because she’s tired and hungry. But then Swellow comes in and sees Team Rocket’s base and goes back to tell Ash. Meowth and Pikachu also arrive at home base. Meowth goes up and starts yelling for Jessie and James to come out. Pikachu gets ready to give them a jolt but it’s only because he thought they’d hurt his friend Meowth. Meowth quickly tells them about Pikachu and so they will act like his friends too.
