The gang of thugs had been running a fake Pokémon interpreter scam, and profiting off their fake services. Their conduct was not unnoticed by the authorities, and [[Officer Jenny]] was preparing to arrest [[Simon]], who was a practicing Pokémon interpreter and appeared to match the police report descriptions. | |||
They soon fired missiles at Simon, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} to blind them with a smokescreen, giving them a chance to nab Simon. They dragged him away and wanted him to join their group, as he had the ability to talk to Pokémon. Despite threats of violence, Simon refused since he felt that their actions were wrong, and he later escaped. | |||
After Simon checked up on [[Ash's Pikachu]] to see if he was okay, the fake Pokémon interpreters showed up again, now at a [[Pokémon Center]] with their {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}. In an extortion attempt, the leader of the con men ordered his gang's Pokémon to absorb the electricity of the Pokémon Center. They ignored [[Nurse Joy]]'s pleas, but Simon's ability to communicate with Pokémon led the Magnemite and Magneton to stop their attack. The leader of the phony Pokémon interpreters was angry about their laziness and decided to kick Magnemite in order to teach it a lesson. However, Pikachu energized the Magnemite and Magneton with an {{t|Electric}} attack, giving the Magnet Pokémon the power to stand up to their cruel {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. The phony Pokémon interpreters got shocked by their own Pokémon and were then arrested by [[Officer Jenny]]. | |||
