Matori: Difference between revisions

In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R & R!]]'', Matori contacted the trio at their base in [[Vermilion City]], where she told them that Giovanni was giving them an order to take a vacation as a reward for accomplishing their missions. This was, in fact, a lie intended to get them out of the way for her own operation to steal large numbers of Pokémon at the [[Resort Area]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Giovanni gave her freedom to take as many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s as she wished with her, but she elected to only bring members of the Matori Matrix.

She traveled to the Resort Area via helicopter, where she met up with the Matori Matrix members at a tent they set up as a base and reviewed the mission plans with them. They successfully stole many Pokémon from the nearby town, including [[Ash's Pikachu]]. However, Jessie, James, and Meowth happened to be taking their vacation at the Resort Area and overheard her disparaging them, motivating them to help Ash and [[Goh]] free the Pokémon before the Matori Matrix could leave the area. The subsequent battle quickly turned against Matori and her unit, and when [[Officer Jenny]] arrived, she ordered a retreat. Later, the trio answered her next call to their Vermilion City hideout and noticed she was exhausted, guessing it was because Giovanni scolded her for failing her mission.
