While {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were heading through [[Trovitopolis]] on the way to [[Trovita Island]], they landed in the sewers after one of [[Team Rocket]]'s attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} went wrong. The Trovitopolis [[Officer Jenny]] found them down there after [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] got kidnapped by a creature. After Ash and his friends got out of the sewers, they were locked in jail. The mayor wanted to get rid of the creature in the sewers so he could get re-elected, and hired a personal SWAT team to carry out his needs by guarding every sewer entrance in the city. However, after sealing all the exits in the sewers, it turned out the mayor was more concerned about getting re-elected than what was going on down below.
