Mega-Mega Meowth Madness! (Japanese: ハリマロンVSメガメガニャース！！ Harimaron VS Mega-Mega Nyarth!!) is the tenth episode of the XY series, and the 809th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on December 12, 2013.
Plot
The scene begins with Ash and his friends returning to Lumiose City, while Ash is thinking about getting his second Gym Badge at Cyllage City. Serena makes a suggestion that they first meet with Professor Sycamore before departing, and everyone accepts the idea while Serena shows them her basket of baked macarons. Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, Team Rocket watches a recording of Ash on Prism Tower and notices the Pokémon that saves him to be none other than a Mega Blaziken. Team Rocket then plans on making Meowth "Mega Evolve" to get Ash's Pikachu, while planning on stealing the research data from the Professor. While Meowth questions being able to mega evolve, James corrects Meowth that if they are successful in stealing the Professor's data, they can implement it into a mecha called "Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha Meowth".
Back at Professor Sycamore's lab, Professor Sycamore learns that Ash and friends are traveling together now. Serena shows Professor Sycamore her macarons, and Sophie, one of the Professor's assistants, says that they should have tea. Professor Sycamore goes back to studying the pokémon at his lab, saying that he will be back to have tea and macarons as soon as possible. As Sophie announces the tea is ready, Serena goes to take the macarons out when everyone notices they're gone. As everyone wonders where they went, Sophie notices Chespin behind a plant eating all of the macarons. As she calls Chespin out for stealing them, Chespin stabs Clemont in the hand with his spikes, takes a handful of macarons and runs out. Sophie explains to the group that that Chespin is very gluttonous. Serena and Bonnie decide to check on the Professor.
Outside the lab, Team Rocket arrives outside the lab in their van and break into it. As Ash and friends hear the loud noise of the van breaking through the glass, Serena and Bonnie go to check on what's going on. As Team Rocket confronts the Professor, he remembers them from before, specifically the "talking Meowth." Jessie ends up trapping the Professor in a net and capture him inside their truck. Serena and Bonnie are accidentally captured inside the truck, but thanks to the leftover pieces of macaron left by Dedenne, Ash, Clemont, and Chespin are able to follow the path to Team rocket's hideout. As Ash and Clemont are going in to rescue the other, Chespin accidentally alerts Team Rocket about their presence and activates their new mecha, the Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha-Meowth. Ash and his friends fight it, but to no avail, until Chespin and Clemont pull the external plug. Meowth then activates the sub-energy supply. Team Rocket gains the advantage, until Mega Blaziken turn the tables single-handed. Ash and Clemont take care of the rest with Pikachu and Chespin, using Electro Ball and Pin Missile and send Team Rocket blasting off again.
Back at the lab, as Ash and his friends give their goodbyes to the Professor. However, before they leave, Bonnie notices that the same Chespin has been spying on them the entire time. Professor Sycamore then tells Clemont that Chespin wants to travel with him. Clemont asks Chespin if it wants to travel with him, and it agrees. Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin's Poké Ball, and Clemont recalls Chespin back to its Poké Ball, allowing Chespin to travel with them. The friends give their goodbyes to the professor and continue traveling towards Cyllage City as the journey continues!!
