The sign outside A.J.'s gym indicated that he has a record of 98:0, but that his gym was not licensed by the [[Pokémon League]]. As Misty twits Ash over his swelled head, A.J. walked up and challenged Ash to a battle. A.J. snapped a whip, making Ash jump. He said that he planned to start competing for badges after his 100th win. Ash smugly said, "I have 10 wins, and I have two Pokémon badges," at which his nose began to grow, ''a la {{wp|Pinocchio}}''. A.J. insulted the gyms, calling them "Failure City" and "Wimpsville," angering Misty and Brock. | The sign outside A.J.'s gym indicated that he has a record of 98:0, but that his gym was not licensed by the [[Pokémon League]].

Team Rocket rolled into the tent inside a rubber ball, but they grabbed Sandshrew by mistake. A.J. ended the rest break and realized that Sandshrew was missing. He released Pikachu from the harness, but Pikachu didn't know where Sandshrew was, either. Ash suggested that he ran away, because he saw how much better Ash treated Pikachu. A.J. flipped out, insisting Sandshrew would not have ran away after all they'd been through together. He sent his other Pokémon (three Rattata, a {{p|Butterfree}} and a {{p|Beedrill}}) to look for Sandshrew. | Team Rocket rolled into the tent inside a rubber ball, but they grabbed Sandshrew by mistake.

Suddenly, Sandshrew burst from the ground with a dazed Meowth still biting its tail. Watching A.J. and his Pokémon, Brock pointed out how deeply A.J. cared for them; this explained their loyalty to him despite his tough training methods. | ||
Ash waked Meowth and got a claw swiped across his face. Meowth realized he was facing a lot of angry Pokémon and their Trainers. He was trying to figure a way out of the situation when James and Jessie began their standard litany. Jessie tells A.J. that taking his Sandshrew was a mistake; James called it "second-rate," earning A.J's ire. He challenged them to a battle. As usual, Jessie summoned her {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and James used his {{TP|James|Koffing}}. Sandshrew took them both out, then took out Meowth when the cat Pokémon tried to bite his armored skin.

This being A.J.'s 100th win, they now left to begin earning badges. He too, like Ash, wanted to be "the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]." They part as rivals, agreeing to meet in the future at one of the League competitions. | This being A.J.'s 100th win, they now left to begin earning badges.
