On the road to [[Mahogany Town]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are attacked by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. After a brief scuffle involving an exploding football, the Rocket Trio is sent blasting off as usual. After a painful landing, the Rockets discuss their most recent failure and try to figure out why they can never beat the "[[twerps]]". They eventually reach the conclusion that the reason lies in the fact that the twerps have a large amount of Pokémon to battle them with, while they only have five, including Meowth. In order to increase their capabilities, the Rockets decide that their first goal should be to capture more Pokémon!

Their wish soon comes true when they find an apparently abandoned {{p|Delibird}}. A tape recording near the Delibird says that it was abandoned by its trainer, and is free to anybody able to catch it. Seizing their opportunity, Jessie and James battle with the Delibird. After a gruelling battle, they succeed in defeating it. However, before they can catch it, an old woman comes out of the woods and introduces herself as the Delibird's trainer. She tells them that she's a scout for {{TRT}} and by defeating Delibird in battle they've passed her test, they're now eligible to join Team Rocket themselves!

Jessie and James explain to the woman that they're already members of Team Rocket. When she refuses to believe them, they look up their names in Team Rocket's member registry. Looking through it they find that their worst fears have finally come true - they've been disbanded from Team Rocket! The Rocket Scout explains that their membership was revoked because of their unpaid dues and the constant loans they've taken out. But that if they prove themselves to her that she should be able to get them reinstated, and get them a hefty signing bonus as well. Their mission? To defeat a wandering band of Pokémon Trainers, who turn out to be none other then the twerps! Jessie and James tell the scout, that although Ash and his friends look weak, they're actually skilled trainers, and that with their current Pokémon they'll be unable to beat them. After thinking for a moment the Scout agrees to let them borrow their Delibird. With a new and powerful Pokémon on their side, Team Rocket gets ready to attack, sure of their coming victory.

Meanwhile {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of Team Rocket receives a phone call from {{an|Wendy}}, a member of Team Rocket's H.R. department. Wendy tells him that Jessie and James are trying to get their membership back, and suggests that he refuse to let them rejoin. Giovanni tells her that he has no problem letting them rejoin, so long as they pay Team Rocket the money they owe. With that said he hangs up on Wendy, leaving her to fume back at her desk. In a flashback we see that Wendy has a long standing grudge against Jessie, from an incident where she left her with a bill for a fruit smoothie. Angry that she couldn't get Jessie kicked out of the Team for good Wendy swears that she'll eventually get her revenge.

Back in [[Johto]] Ash and his friends are met on the road by a pair of wandering Samurai. They quickly reveal themselves to be Jessie and James in disguise, and challenge the twerps to a battle. Expecting them to use their normal Pokémon Ash calls out his {{AP|Phanpy}}. To his surprise Team Rocket bring out Delibird, who easily defeats Phanpy with its {{m|Blizzard}} attack. Using its {{m|Present}} ability, Delibird hits Ash and friends with a surprise attack. Angered Ash calls out Pikachu, but finds that Delibird's Present is too much for Pikachu to handle. Ash tries to retreat, but no matter where him or his friends go Delibird is always there with another explosive present. Delighted at their success Jessie and James order Delibird to finish the twerps off, but to their surprise the next present restores Pikachu to full health. Taking control of the fight Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} and Team Rocket are "blasting off again".

After landing, Jessie and James are met again by the Rocket Scout, who reclaims her Delibird. She tells them that even though they lost the fight, Team Rocket is suffering a severe labor shortage (due to most of its members getting arrested) and that she's still going to register them again. The pair eagerly wait for their signing bonus, but find themselves hit with a bill instead, their bonus having helped pay all of the money they owe. At the bottom of the list is a surprise, a bill for a fruit smoothie courtesy of Wendy. The Scout tells them that every month Delibird will come to collect some of the money they owe, and that they should resume their work as Rockets.
