Koffing's job was to create a {{m|SmokeScreen}} while Ekans destroyed the computers. Chasing everyone into the back room, Ekans scared away the Pokémon that were sent out by Ash, which causes {{an|Misty}} to decide to battle Team Rocket. This is a failed effort, however, as both of them manage to catch up to Ash in no time at all.
