(Somewhere in the woods.)
(James and Meowth are laughing with grins on their faces.)
Meowth: "Oh, that was too easy! Could you believe those suckers really fell for the fruit?!"
(Meowth says, laughing.)
James: "And getting those gym badges was easier than slipping on a banana peel!"
(James adds with laughter.)
Meowth: "If I had known grabbing badges was this easy, I would've just camped out here and ambushed trainers instead of running around to all those gyms,"
(Meowth says.)
(James kneels to Meowth and says.)
James: "Meowth, let's take another peek at all those beautiful badges."
Meowth: "Excellent idea, my dear James!"
(Meowth says.)
(Meowth gets in the balloon and begins digging around for the box containing the badges.)
(Meowth climbs out and panics.)
Meowth: "The badges are gone!"
James: "They are?"
(James says, confused.)
Meowth: "I can't believe it. Jessie an' I hid dem,"
(Meowth says, devastated.)
(Then notices she is missing.)
Meowth: "Hey! Where is Jessie, anyhow?"
James: "I think she says she had a little shopping to do in town. And then she ran off carrying a big, square package wrapped in a big, green handkerchief,"
(James says.)
(Soon, Meowth puts the pieces together.)
Meowth: "She stole 'em! Jessie stole our stolen badges!"
James: "Jessie?!"
(James exclaims in shock.)
(Soon enough, Meowth assumption is proven right.)
(Jessie is carrying a big green handkerchief on her back that contains Otoshi's badges.)
(Jessie says in pride.)
Jessie: "Ha! I finally got my very own set of badges! Now I can enter the Pokémon League competition and prove I'm the world's most talented, most glamorous trainer!"
(Soon fantasizes herself into Pokemon League.)
(Jessie says in pride.)
Jessie: "There I'll stand. Alone in the spotlight, with thousands of adoring fans cheering me on. My victory will be a giant step up on the stairway to stardom!"
(Soon her fantasy ended.)
Jessie: "No more sharing the stage with those silly, sniffling, sniveling stooges! From now on, I'll be a solo superstar!"
(Jessie declares and maniacally laughs.)
(Back to Mew and her friends.)
(Mew has sent some of her flying Pokemon out to find Team Rocket to get Otoshi's badges back.)
(Soon, Aerodactyl, Pidgeotto, Beautifly, and Beedrill are searching around.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto! You and the others see anything?!"
Misty: "It sounds like they spotted something, guys,"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Yeah, let's go see,"
(Mew says.)
(With that, the group hurry over to see what the Pokemon have found.)
(Meanwhile, James and Meowth are raising the balloon.)
Meowth: "We gotta find those badges,"
(Meowth says.)
(Suddenly, Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Hold it right there! You robbers!"
(Meowth and James look down.)
(to see Mew and her friends have arrived on the scene and are chasing after them.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Hurry guys, don't let them get away!"
(With that, the flying Pokemon quickly chase after them.)
Meowth: "Uh oh,"
(Meowth yelps.)
(With that, Pidgeotto uses its sharp beak to pop Team Rocket's balloon, and it crashes to the ground.)
(Meowth weakly climbs out the basket.)
Meowth: "Shot down again!"
James: "They burst our bubble,"
(James says.)
(Soon, they find Mew and her friends have surrounded them.)
(Otoshi demands.)
Otoshi: "Return the badges you stole from me."
Marowak: "Marowak!" (Right now!)
(Marowak demands.)
(But James says.)
James: "We can't do that."
Meowth: "You ain't the only victim around here, pal,"
(Meowth says.)
Otoshi: "What are you saying?"
(Otoshi questions, and brings out his wooden sword.)
(James and Meowth hug each other in fear.)
James: "We were robbed, too! We don't have the badges,"
(James answers.)
Meowth: "He's being honest, for once,"
(Meowth says.)
(Misty smirks and says.)
Misty: "Well, we'll just see if that's true."
James and Meowth: "What are you gonna do?"
(James and Meowth ask, frightened.)
(Soon, James and Meowth have to lay out their belongings on a separate blanket.)
Misty: "Are you sure this is everything you've got?"
(Misty demands.)
James and Meowth: "Yes,"
(James and Meowth confirm with a nod.)
(Mew looks at Meowth's items.)
Mew: "Let's see. A couple of cookies, a slingshot, some cans of Pokémon Chow, a hairbrush, a cattail…"
(Then Tomo notices.)
Tomo; "Hey! What's this wax for?"
Meowth: "I like to keep my charm nice and shiny,"
(Meowth answers.)
Mew: "I don't see the badges on Meowth's side,"
(Mew says.)
(Then Brock looks at James' belongings.)
Brock: "Well, I see binoculars, a notepad, some makeup, broken sunglasses, and.. photos of yourself?"
James: "Well, you see, I like to look at myself in my spare time,"
(James says, embarrassed.)
Otoshi: "Ever tried a mirror?"
(Then Tomo looks at the other stuff.)
Tomo: "A bunch of bottle caps, some pogs, some tabs from soda cans."
Misty: "No badges here either,"
(Misty says.)
(Then Brock says.)
Brock: "This is just a pile of junk!"
James: "Yes, but it's got sentimental value!"
(James cries out and hugs his stuff.")
Togepi: "Toge toge toge," (Value value value)
(Togepi happily says, jumping up and down.)
Pichu: "Pichu Pichu?" (Strange stuff to have)
(Pichu replies.)
Mew: "Looks like the badges are gone,"
(Mew says.)
Meowth: "We already told ya that. Jessie took all of the badges,"
(Meowth says.)
Tomo: "Jessie?!"
(Tomo says, shocked.)
Mew: "That would explain she isn't here. Now we gotta find her to find those badges,"
(Mew says.)
(Soon Marowak begins to swing his bone around in anger.)
(Otoshi notices it and asks.)
Otoshi: "What's wrong, Marowak?"
Misty: "He looks upset,"
(Misty says.)
(Marowak continues to angrily swat his bone as he expresses his anger.)
(Meowth and Mew walk over.)
Meowth: "Oh, I see,"
(Meowth says.)
(Then Mew asks.)
Mew: "And you're very serious about this, Marowak?"
Otoshi: "Huh?"
(Otoshi says, confused.)
(Then Meowth explains.)
Meowth: "I got some bad news for ya, kid. Da little bonehead here says it doesn't want ta be your Pokémon no more."
(This shocked Otoshi.)
Otoshi: "What?! Is this true, Marowak?"
(Soon, Marowak begins to express his anger towards Otoshi.)
(Then Meowth translates.)
Meowth: "Skull boy says dat it was willing ta put up wit all de hard training, an' tough battles, 'cause it was dreamin' of being in da Pokémon League competition. Now, just a couple a days before da competition, dis happens. An' all dat hard woik an' sufferin' was fer nuttin'. Marowak says it's best if ya two just, say goodbye."
(Then Marowak begins to walk away.)
Otoshi: "Don't go, Marowak,"
(Otoshi cries out and touches Marowak's shoulder.)
(But Marowak bats him away with his bone, much to his shock, and continues to walk away.)
(Otoshi calls out.)
Otoshi: "Wait!"
(But Marowak continues walking away.)
Otoshi: "And we were so close to going to the Pokémon League,"
(Otoshi says, devastated.)
Meowth: "You still might be able to buy a ticket."
(Meowth says.)
(But Otoshi grabs Meowth in anger and shakes him rapidly.)
Otoshi: "This is all because of you!"
Mew: "Marowak's only gonna come back if we find Jessie and get those badges,"
(Mew says.)
Brock: "You're right,"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Let's do it!"
(Misty says.)
Tomo: "Yeah. Let's go find her,"
(Tomo says.)
(With that, Mew and the others, including Otoshi begin their search for Jessie.)
(Meanwhile, Meowth and James are airborne on their hot air balloon once more and this time it has a patch.)
Meowth: "We gotta find Jessie and those badges before those kids do,"
(Meowth says.)
(Meanwhile, far ahead, Jessie is disguised as an Arabian attire and with most of her face covered by a cloth.)
(Jessie chuckles and says.)
Jessie: "Even James and Meowth will never recognize me in this disguise."
(Soon, Jessie notices another trainer who has his eight badges in a box.)
(The trainer looks inside and is excited.)
trainer: "Wow. I finally have enough badges to get into the Pokemon League."
(Jessie walks over to the boy and says.)
Jessie: "Hello there, fellow trainer. Well, look at all the badges you have."
(Then opens the box presenting him the stolen badges.)
Jessie: "Take a peek at my collection."
(The trainer looks and says.)
trainer: "Hey, you must have worked pretty hard to get all those."
(Of course, Jessie has stolen them.)
(Jessie chuckles and says.)
Jessie: "Not as hard as you might think."
trainer: "Here, take a look at mine,"
(The trainer says, and shows Jessie his eight badges.)
(Jessie looks to see the badges and says.)
Jessie: "Oh my. How, pretty."
The trainer: "I battled hard to win as many as I could,"
(The trainer says.)
(Then Jessie says.)
Jessie: "Well, one can never have too many badges, can one?"
