Meowth (Team Rocket): Difference between revisions

Line 152: Line 152:
Meowth normally does not battle unless there are extreme circumstances; his explanation is that his ability to talk and walk upright came at the expense of battling ability. However, when forced to fight, Meowth is fairly resourceful, such as dumping a bucket of water on an {{p|Onix}} to weaken it, most notably [[Brock's Onix]] in ''Who Gets to Keep Togepi?''.

Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a [[Poké Ball]], though he is technically a [[wild Pokémon]]. He remains a part of the [[Team Rocket trio]] because he feels he has a place. Meowth considers himself the brains of the trio's operations, namely because his ability to translate Pokémon speech for Jessie and James, and also because of his extensive technical knowledge which has helped to construct the many of [[Team Rocket's mechas]]. He utilizes [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] to truly explain his schemes to his teammates, though these also expose Meowth's ambitions to be Giovanni's one and only companion. On several occasions Meowth's value has been questioned, but he pulls his teammates in line with a quick Scratch to the face. He even had some tension towards [[Jessie's Wobuffet]] when he first arrived on the scene, after WObbuffet kept taking his place in the Team Rocket {{motto}}, but the pair now get along. His attachment to Jessie and James is more obvious when he finds himself separated or when the trio has decided to go their separate ways. Examples of this include ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'' or ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', when he became sad after Jessie and James got swallowed up by the [[Tree of Beginning]]'s antibodies.

During the {{series|Sun and Moon}}, Meowth has shown concern for {{AP|Litten}}. In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth was brought to tears when Litten explained its past. His concern for Litten grew in ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', when Stoutland began to grow ill before disappearing, and he even informed Ash that he had better protect Litten. Following Stoutland's disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached. Meowth later watched as Ash caught Litten, knowing that it was for the best even though it meant they were enemies. Encountering {{p|Torracat}} for the first time since Litten evolved during ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Meowth seemed to be excited by its evolution.
