Jessie's Arbok: Difference between revisions

As mentioned in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Jessie received Ekans as a [[birthday]] present (for {{wp|chūgen}} in the original Japanese version) before she met {{Ash}}. It is unknown who it was a gift from.

Arbok first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as an {{p|Ekans}}. Throwing their [[Poké Ball]]s down from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], Jessie and [[James]] used both it and [[James's Koffing]] to quickly overtake the defenseless {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Koffing's job was to create a {{m|Smokescreen}} while Ekans destroyed the computers. Chasing Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Nurse Joy]], Ekans scared away the Pokémon that were sent out by Ash, which caused Misty to decide to battle {{TRT}}. This was a failed effort, however, as both of them managed to catch up to Ash in no time at all. Just then, Nurse Joy's {{p|Pikachu}} come out and healed [[Ash's Pikachu]] with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack, while at the same time attacking the Team Rocket trio. Giving Ash's Pikachu enough power to stand up, Ash charged up Pikachu using Misty's charred bike, and he let him have his own Thunder Shock. As the group were being electrocuted, Koffing released a stream of {{m|Smog}} from one of the craters on its body, and the electricity climbed up the toxic gas, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode, and sending Team Rocket blasting off.
