'''Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!''' (Japanese: '''エモンガ、ロケット団に入る！''' ''{{tt|Emonga|Emolga}} Joins {{tt|Rocket-dan|Team Rocket}}!'') is the 139th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 796th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 5, 2013 and in the United States on November 16, 2013.

Elsewhere, Axew is fully recovered thanks to Cilan's Super Potion. Iris was wondering what's up with Axew, causing Axew to wander off. She then realizes that Emolga didn't come back yet and Ash agrees. Ash returns all of his Pokemon, except Snivy who wanted to stay out because she's worried about Axew. As Snivy follows Axew, Iris recalled two of her Pokemon and Cilan recalled {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}.  

While Iris is wondering about where Emolga is, Team Rocket shows up, and recites their motto with Emolga joining in. Everyone is shocked that Emolga joined up with Team Rocket. But before Ash and his friends can act, James takes out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and distracts everyone using {{m|Haze}}. Emolga pulls Axew out of the smoke, as Snivy stops her with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Iris asks Emolga why she is doing this but Emolga turns away. Snivy and Emolga then start arguing. Meowth is a little shocked by this and decides not to tell his crew anything. Snivy attacks Emolga with Vine Whip. Emolga counters with Hidden Power but Snivy dodges. Emolga uses another Hidden Power but this time Snivy deflected it with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. The orb goes straight through the trees and through a cave where a wild {{p|Exploud}} is sleeping. This wakes up Exploud and smoke comes out of its holes. Back in the forest, Snivy gets hit by Emolga's Discharge and they start arguing again. Snivy hits Emolga with Leaf Blade as Ash and Pikachu step in to stop Snivy from fighting. Then the Exploud from the cave appears out of the bushes and launches a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash looks it up in the Pokedex but as he finishes, Exploud unleashes another Flamethrower at Ash who manages to dodge in time. It then uses {{m|ThunderPunch}} to chase them away. Using this as a perfect opportunity, Team Rocket is getting away with Emolga holding Axew. Before Iris can get her Pokémon back, Exploud attacks again with {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Ash and co. run away.

Axew and Emolga are now trapped inside the box and Meowth pushes a few buttons on a remote, and a cage opens up and the Exploud from earlier comes out and begins attacking Emolga and Axew first with ThunderPunch and then with Flamethrower. Iris is extremely concerned for her Pokémon and she asks Dragonite to help. She instructs him to use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the cage which he does, although the attack doesn't do any damage. She then instructs him to use {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but still nothing happens to the cage and Dragonite gets knocked down to the ground. Back inside the cage Exploud uses ThunderPunch on Axew, but Emolga steps out in front of Axew and she takes the blow for him which worries Iris because of how badly Emolga was hurt. Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Wing Attack}} on the cage so it does, but just like when Dragonite attempted to destroy the cage, Charizard wasn't able to and ended up getting pushed back. Team Rocket laughs evilly and Jessie remarks, "Underestimate Team Rocket? Bad Twerps." James stated, "They'll never learn." The attention turns back to the Pokemon inside the cage, and the Exploud picks up Axew and drops him in its' mouth. This frightens Iris because she believes Axew had been eaten. Emolga fires a Hidden Power at the Exploud, which does nothing, but just then a blue beam fires out of the Exploud, and that beam was from Axew's {{m|Dragon Rage}}. The Exploud opens its' mouth and Axew hops out unharmed. Iris and Emolga both let out sighs of relief and then Ash states he and Snivy need to help Pikachu. Not letting this happen, Jessie tells Woobat to use {{m|Air Slash}} on Snivy, who manages to dodge. James tells Yamask to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Snivy dodge it as well. Ash commands Snivy to use Vine Whip, which she does repeatedly, hitting Woobat and Yamask. Ash then commands her to use Leaf Storm next which she does and Woobat and Yamask are pushed back forcefully. Ash then commands Snivy to use Leaf Blade which she does, this time she aims at the net which holds Pikachu and frees him. Pikachu cheers as Snivy grabs onto him with Vine Whip, reuniting Pikachu with Ash. Jessie noted they still had the Exploud with them.
