James soon makes a similar concession when they find a cage of Koffing that Weezing will not hurt. The cages belong to a poacher named Rico who uses his Fearrow and Pupitar to chase off Team Rocket. Team Rocket returns to the scene, now hoping to free the Ekans and Koffing. Things turn dangerous when Rico's Pupitar evolves into a Tyrannitar, and Team Rocket is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for the Pokémon that they love.</i> | ||

When they arrive at the Pokémon Center, they meet [[Nurse Joy]]. Before Brock can make his move on her, May, believing that it is the same Nurse Joy from [[Oldale Town]], tries to greet her, but is surprised when Nurse Joy doesn't recognize her. As Max tries to tell her that Pokémon Centers are run by a family of (nearly) identical-looking Nurse Joys, [[Officer Jenny]] and her {{p|Growlithe}} appear to ask whether Pokémon had recently been admitted to the Pokémon Center, due to the activities of a poacher, named [[Rico]], who is nearby. As Max also explains to May that Officer Jennys are also (more or less) identical, Ash presents Officer Jenny with the part of the net that they had found. Officer Jenny, with a lead on Rico, then asks Ash and his friends to lead her to where they had found it. Ash and his friends agree so everyone quickly leaves the Pokémon Center. | When they arrive at the Pokémon Center, they meet [[Nurse Joy]].

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is on a hill overlooking the Pokémon Center. As they plan to trap Ash and his friends when they return (using their "patented pitfall trap"), {{MTR}} slips and rolls down a hill. At the bottom, he finds a tarp covering a large object, and uncovers that it is a cage full of {{p|Ekans}}. Learning that the Ekans had been caught and abused by a Pokémon poacher, Meowth tries to free them, but finds that their cages are electrified. At this point, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] (riding {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}) arrive. Outraged at how the Ekans are confined, Jessie orders Arbok to use {{m|Acid}} to free the Ekans, but Arbok is reluctant to attack since they are the pre-evolution of it. After being reassured that the Ekans will not be harmed, Arbok once again begins its attack but the cage is inaffective. Weezing tries to use {{m|Sludge}} to help. However, before Weezing can do that, it got attacked by a {{p|Fearow}}. | Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is on a hill overlooking the Pokémon Center.

The Fearow's Trainer then arrives in a {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}}. Introducing himself as [[Rico]], a Pokémon poacher, he explains that the Ekans are his. Per his client's request, he is to poach {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, which also includes a cage full of {{p|Koffing}} that are in a cage attached to the back of his SUV, with a bonus for every evolved one he can get. He then says he will allow them to leave unharmed - if they leave Arbok and Weezing with him. Having gone through so much with Arbok and Weezing (James claiming that the two are like brothers), and motivated by the Ekans and the Koffing, they refuse, and Arbok and Weezing prepare to defend themselves as Rico orders Fearow to attack. Fearow easily dodges Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}} and Weezing's Sludge, and lands a {{m|Fury Attack}} on both. When Fearow tries to finish off Arbok with a {{m|Drill Peck}}, however, Arbok catches its beak with a {{m|Wrap}}. Just then, Rico withdraws Fearow for a {{p|Pupitar}}, who proceeds to use {{m|Sandstorm}} to send Team Rocket flying away. Claiming that Arbok and Weezing are too weak for his efforts, Rico leaves to poach more Pokémon. | The Fearow's Trainer then arrives in a {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}}.
