Upon making their way to [[Catallia City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encounter a patrol car speeding down the street, and {{an|Brock}} gives chase, deducing that [[Officer Jenny]] must be inside. However, a few seconds later, he trips over a thin web, allowing Ash and {{an|Misty}} to catch up with him. Just then, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} notices something approaching, after which a {{p|Spinarak}} appears. Mistaking it for another {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Misty walks toward it, until she realizes that it is actually a {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. In another part of town, a disguised {{TRT}} breaks into a storage building. {{MTR}} tries to pick a lock, but he breaks his claw, forcing [[James]] to use a lock-pick to gain entry. Inside, Team Rocket takes a small bowl. Suddenly, a patrolman spots them, but James hurls bottle caps, meant to resemble {{m|Pay Day}}, at him as they make their getaway. | Upon making their way to [[Catallia City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encounter a patrol car speeding down the street, and {{an|Brock}} gives chase, deducing that [[Officer Jenny]] must be inside.

An officer tells Jenny that they have apprehended the thieves, but they are revealed to be Ash and his friends, who are caught in a giant ball of web. Jenny lets them go and explains that they mistook them for [[The Black Arachnid]], a thief that had once terrorized Catallia City over a hundred years ago. Jenny notices {{AP|Pikachu}} and Togepi and asks the trio if they are the professional Pokémon crime-fighters [[EP117|her sister]] from [[New Bark Town]] told them about, which Ash affirms. | ||
Ash then asks why the police force uses Spinarak instead of {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}}, and Jenny explains that it is traditional to use Spinarak in Catallia City. A long time ago, The Black Arachnid and his Meowth ransacked the town, using Pay Day to scare the police off whenever it seemed like they were about to get captured. However, The Black Arachnid was eventually captured by the Officer Jenny of eight generations ago and her Spinarak's web. Jenny then reveals that her Spinarak is descended from the same one that caught The Black Arachnid. Ash then decides to assist in the manhunt for the thieves. Meanwhile, atop a clock tower, Jessie devises their next plan: she will send a letter telling the police what they are going to steal. While they send guards to patrol the site, Team Rocket will stealthily take the item. | Ash then asks why the police force uses Spinarak instead of {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}}, and Jenny explains that it is traditional to use Spinarak in Catallia City.
