In ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check...]]'', {{MTR}}, wearing a medical face mask, revealed to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] that he had a cold. Jessie and James suggested he get some rest, offering him warm blankets and a cool towel. Jessie asked Meowth if he wanted anything to eat, but Meowth suspected his teammates planned to slack off while he was sick as they listed a heap of treats for themselves. In his weary state, Meowth declared that there was one thing Team Rocket was missing, but he collapsed before he could reveal the answer. Later, Jessie tried to shake Meowth awake, hoping Meowth could review her latest scheme, but Meowth instead fainted from illness again. Meowth eventually recovered after a day of rest. | In ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check...]]'', {{MTR}}, wearing a medical face mask, revealed to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] that he had a cold.
