In a flashback in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', {{p|Meowth}}'s earliest memory is being alone at [[Camp Pokéhearst]]. With no food, he was always starving and once tipped over a basket of baseballs believing it was food. As punishment for tipping the basket over, the baseball coach hung him from a tree; from this tree, he was able to see a movie called ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'', which depicted a Meowth in [[Hollywood]] being given delicious food by its family. Meowth instantly decided to go to Hollywood, which he believed would be a paradise. | In a flashback in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', {{p|Meowth}}'s earliest memory is being alone at [[Camp Pokéhearst]].

Meowth made his debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside Jessie and James, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. As the two sent out their {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy]], {{Ash}}, and {{an|Misty}} inside. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, [[Ash's Pikachu]], who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that {{TRT}} vowed to capture Pikachu, deeming Ash's one as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, making it their lifelong goal to capture him. | Meowth made his debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''.
