[[Image:Team rocket anime.png|left|thumb|Jessie, James and Meowth.]]A trio of Team Rocket field agents, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and a talking {{MTR}}, were defeated on an assignment to steal Pokémon from Viridian City's [[Pokémon Center]] by rookie Trainer [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and since then have followed him everywhere on his journey in order to steal the Pikachu that humiliated them. After following him through Kanto and Johto, coming in contact with many other Team Rocket members along the way and being shown as incompetent compared to said members, the trio followed Ash to the [[Hoenn]] region under directions from Giovanni to establish a branch of Team Rocket there (though this was really only a ploy to get them out of his hair). When Ash returned from Hoenn after competing in its [[Ever Grande Conference|regional League Conference]], the trio returned to Kanto as well, empty-handed. After following him through Kanto once again, Giovanni assigned the trio to the [[Sinnoh]] region, again with the directive to establish a Team Rocket branch there.

Giovanni claims to not even recognize the three agents, and has rejected the only Pokémon they ever presented to him: a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}}. Meowth often [[Boss fantasies|fantasizes]] about pleasing Giovanni with Pokémon captured using one of the trio's many harebrained schemes and mechas, at which point he would then replace [[Giovanni's Persian]] as "top cat", however this is hindered by both the fact that Ash and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] defeat the trio each time, as well as Giovanni's low opinion of the three, who have managed to eat up much of Team Rocket's funding with their failures.
