There has been some debate as to whether or not Meowth was ever {{an|Giovanni}}'s "Top Cat" (personal pet). He has stated himself as such in front of Giovanni with no objection (only to say that {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} was now in that position).<!--which episode?--> Yet in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', he was shown to have been present at [[Team Rocket HQ]] for a short time, during which we see that Persian is already there. During this time, Meowth became a servant to Giovanni, bringing him food and drinks; however, he was unsuccessful at this task because he tripped over a wire, spilled Giovanni's coffee and got himself electrocuted. Giovanni didn't appear to be angry, but he assigned Meowth to Jessie and James's team. In light of this, it should be noted that ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'' potentially contradicted other stated facts from previous episodes regarding Team Rocket's back story. | There has been some debate as to whether or not Meowth was ever {{an|Giovanni}}'s "Top Cat" (personal pet).

Meowth made his debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside Jessie and James, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. As the two sent out their {{TR|Ekans}} and {{TR|Koffing}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy|three]] [[Ash Ketchum|people]] [[Misty (anime)|inside]]. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, {{AP|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that Team Rocket decided to capture Pikachu, deeming him as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, and made it their goal to capture him. | |||
In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James returned to Hollywood while following {{Ash}}, and Meowth was reunited with Meowzie, who had since been abandoned by her mistress and was forced to join the gang of street Meowth. Meowth fought his former Persian leader to win Meowzie's love, and won, but Meowzie demonstrated that her loyalty was with Persian since he took care of her when she needed it, and Meowth was once again heartbroken. | In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James returned to Hollywood while following {{Ash}}, and Meowth was reunited with Meowzie, who had since been abandoned by her mistress and was forced to join the gang of street Meowth.
