BW043: Difference between revisions

On their way to [[Nimbasa City]], the gang are seen taking a break for lunch. While {{AP|Tepig}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing, they find an unconscious {{MTR}} in the bushes. Upon telling everyone, {{an|Cilan}} quickly inspects Meowth´s condition. Cilan and {{an|Iris}} give him medicine, and soon after, Meowth regains consciousness. After being startled by the gang, Iris asks Meowth what {{TRT}} is doing here. However, Meowth tells them that he is no longer a part of Team Rocket.

Upon hearing the story, Cilan suggests to the others that they should let Meowth travel with them, but Ash and Iris don´t think that it's a good idea. Cilan then reminds them that he is the only Meowth in [[Unova]], and that he will be lonely. Meowth initially refuses, but Iris says that he will faint again if they leave him. Ash tells Meowth that he can travel with them on the condition that he doesn't do anything bad. Meowth agrees to these terms as he has no reason to do anything bad, seeing as he's no longer a part of Team Rocket.

As they start walking, Meowth flatters the gang on their qualities; commenting on Cilan's soup, calling Iris a princess, and even calling Ash a good Trainer. As they walk, Axew becomes interested in a shiny object placed on the road, but when Axew tries to grab it, he is kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}. The gang follows Scrafty to its hut, but Meowth tries to stop them, explaining that they mustn't get any closer to Scrafty´s hut because he could hurt Axew. Ash ignores Meowth and runs towards the hut, but Meowth stops him again, telling him that Scrafty is serious and that they shouldn't anger him. Pikachu agrees with Meowth, and Cilan suggests that they wait there until it things calm down. Inside the hut, Axew tries to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, blowing a hole through the wall, but Scrafty manages to evade it.

Meowth tells the others that he will take it from there, claiming that he is a negotiator. Meowth slowly walks to Scrafty´s hut, calling for it to come outside. He asks Scrafty why he is doing this, and Scrafty tells him it will release Axew if it gets a Pokémon to help it in a fight. While Meowth negotiates with Scrafty, Ash makes his way around the hut as Scrafty shows Meowth that Axew is in one piece—but is tied up. Higher up, Ash notices that there is a window on the side, later suggesting that there is a way to release Axew. He tells Meowth to talk with Scrafty, but Meowth explains that Scrafty is an evolved form of {{AP|Scraggy}}, and that it will be good idea to take Scraggy with him to distract Scrafty. Ash complies and lets Scraggy go with Meowth, and takes {{AP|Snivy}} with him. As Snivy is released from her [[Poké Ball]], she attacks Meowth, only for Ash to tell her that Meowth is now their friend.  

Scrafty leads them to his nest, showing them that a {{p|Mandibuzz}} had taken it. Scrafty tries to attack Mandibuzz, but is easily defeated by her {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Scraggy decides to try to defend his "older brother". Mandibuzz uses {{m|Pluck}} and dives into Scraggy, but Scraggy manages to dodge the attack. Mandibuzz hits the head in the ground and gets stuck on the rocks. As Mandibuzz tries to get free, Scrafty commands Scraggy to use Hi Jump Kick, which successfully hits and defeats Mandibuzz. Upon defeating Mandibuzz, she starts crying, explaining that she was kicked out of her flock because she ate all of the food, forcing her to take Scrafty's nest. After hearing this, Meowth suggests that they pick up some food and give it to Mandibuzz´s flock. After seeing it as a peace-offering, Mandibuzz is welcomed back to her flock.
