The episode starts with Jessie and her friends at the entrance of Celadon City.
"About time we get to the city!" Meowth says, satisfied.
Domino looks amazed from looking at the city. "Celadon is so beautiful, is it?"
"I didn't come here to admire the city, I came here for a badge!" Jessie says.
"Geez, don't get your panties in a bunch." Domino countered.
"Are we gonna enter or not?" James asked, rhetorically.
It cuts to the gang in the middle of the city, trying to look for Celadon Gym.
"I don't see the gym. How about you guys?" Jessie asked.
Meowth shakes his head. "Nope."
"Perhaps we should head to the Pokémon Center and ask Nurse Joy for directions?" James suggested.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea!" Domino approved.
Jessie nods. "Yeah! I actually haven't talked to Professor Oak in a while! Let's go!"
"I do need a rest anyway," Meowth says.
The title screen shows.
"No Girls Allowed!"
It cuts to the gang arriving inside the Pokémon Center in Celadon City.
"Welcome to the Pokémon Center!" Nurse Joy greeted the gang. "Is there anything I can assist you with?"
"Yes, you can actually. Can you help us with the directions to Celadon Gym?" James asked.
"Well, you can take this here." Nurse Joys hands James a guidebook. "This is a Celadon City guidebook, it tells you everything that Celadon City has to offer and it will help you with the directions to the gym as well!"
"Thanks!" James opens the guidebook and begins reading it.
It shows Jessie is at the Pokémon Center's phone, dialing Professor Oak. She waits as it rings and Professor Oak enters as he appears on the screen.
"Hello, Jessie!" Professor Oak greeted the Pallet Town trainer. "It's been quite a while since I heard from you."
"Hey, Professor!" Jessie greeted the Professor back. "I just want to say that I'm calling you from the Celadon City Pokémon Center! I'm about to battle for my fourth badge!"
"Thank goodness you told me that! I just got off the phone with Leaf a few minutes ago and she told me that she has already won her fifth badge!" Professor Oak said.
"WHAT?!" This causes Jessie to fall in disbelief after what Professor Oak said but quickly gets back up. "I'm so left behind…"
"I suggest you try to win your fourth badge really fast and get to your next city quickly to catch up!" Professor Oak suggested.
Jessie nods. "Right, Professor!"
"Hey, Jessie!" James is right behind Jessie with the guidebook. "It says here in this guidebook that the Gym Leader here in Celadon is Erika, a grass-type Gym Leader!"
"Oh really? That's pretty cool!" Jessie says.
"Say, Jessie, didn't you catch a fire-type recently?" Professor Oak asked.
"Oh yeah!" Jessie remembered. "I caught Ponyta, it will definitely help me a lot with Erika! Professor Oak, may I switch Pokémon?"
"Of course! Which Pokémon would you like to switch out with your Ponyta?" Professor Oak asked.
"Oh…" Jessie begins to think. "I guess I reached this road. Who to switch out with?"
Domino walks up behind Jessie. "If you ask me, I would say either Squirtle or Electabuzz. Water and electric types wouldn't do well against a grass-type Gym Leader like Erika."
"I made my decision. I would like to switch my Ekans for Ponyta!" Jessie pulls out Ekans' Poké Ball from her purse.
Domino sighs. "Of course, she doesn't listen to me."
"And never uses her brain too," Meowth added.
"You're switching out the Ekans I traded you to for Pikachu?! Why?!" James asked in disbelief. "Ekans is a poison-type and has the advantage over grass-types!"
"I have to switch one of my Pokémon, James! Besides, we both saw how powerful Ponyta is and I'm interested in using it in battle!" Jessie answered.
James just growls and goes back to reading the guidebook on the couch nearby.
"So you're switching Ekans for Ponyta? Final decision?" Professor Oak asked.
Jessie nods. "Final decision!"
"Alright! I'll be back with Pontya's Poké Ball!" Professor Oak exits the screen to get Ponyta's Poké Ball.
It cuts to where the Team Rocket trio in some building standing in front of a poster, who are in disguise.
"This. Fucking. Sucks." Butch complained. "Cassidy, when you said the boss had a special mission for us in Celadon, you didn't tell us that it was to guard some stupid poster!"
"Well, I'm sorry!" Cassidy began to defend herself. "Giovanni didn't tell me it was to guard this poster! All he said to me was that he had a special mission for us three."
"Chill out guys!" Mondo tries to look on the bright side. "Maybe If we do a good job, we could get promotions!"
"Yeah, you could be right! Let's guard this poster like our lives are on the line!" Cassidy pumps her fist in the air.
"Fuck yeah!" Butch cheered.
A few seconds passed with the Team Rocket trio standing and guarding the poster.
"Wanna play a card game?" Cassidy suggested.
"Sure." Both Butch and Mondo agreed.
It cuts back to the call between Jessie and Professor Oak at the Pokémon Center. Professor Oak appears back on the screen with Ponyta's Poké Ball in hand.
"I have Ponyta's Poké Ball here! Please insert Ekans' Poké Ball in the transfer machine so that the transaction can be completed." Professor Oak places Ponyta's Poké Ball in the transfer machine.
"Right!" Jessie places Ekans' Poké Ball in the transfer machine.
Ekans' Poké Ball successfully gets transported to Professor Oak and Pontya's Poké Ball gets transported to Jessie as the exchange is complete.
Jessie picks up Ponyta's Poké Ball. "I got Ponyta! Thanks, Professor! Goodbye!" She waves goodbye to Professor Oak.
Professor Oak waves goodbye back at Jessie. "Farewell and good luck at the Celadon Gym, Jessie!"
Jessie and Professor Oak both end their call.
"Come on, let's all head to the-"
"NO WAY!" James screamed out from reading the guidebook, interrupting Jessie's sentence.
"What is it, James?" Domino asked.
James looks extremely excited. "This city has a Game Corner!"
"'Game Corner' what's that?" Jessie asked, confused.
"It's basically a casino where you can win prizes if you gather enough tokens," Domino answered.
"Come on, no way James would choose gambling over watching my-"
Domino interrupts Jessie. "Jessie… James is gone."
Jessie sees that James is gone and falls in disbelief. "Meowth, can you keep an eye on him so that he doesn't blow all of his money…"
Meowth shrugs in response. "Sure, why not." The talking Pokémon leaves to go to the Game Corner.
Domino groans. "James also took the guidebook with him. Just great!"
"That's easy, we will just ask Nurse Joy for one!" Jessie walks up to the counter where Nurse Joy is. "Nurse Joy, may we have a Celadon City guidebook?"
Nurse Joy rubs her head in embarrassment. "Sorry, that was the last one I just gave out."
Jessie and Domino both fall in disbelief.
"But I can describe what the Gym looks like!" Nurse Joy smiles.
It cuts to Jessie and Domino now walking in the streets of Celadon after leaving the Pokémon Center.
"Well, that's easy to point out. It has a flower-shaped roof like the top of a Gloom." Domino says.
"Gloom… I saw one before from my battle with Oakley, and I'm still upset that I lost." Jessie sighs.
Jessie and Domino both stumble upon a building with a roof shaped like a Gloom's head.
"This must be the place," Domino says.
Jessie looks behind her and notices a lot of people staring at them. Some of them look scared. She expresses a confused look.
"What is it, Jessie?" Domino asked.
Jessie slowly leans into Domino's ear to whisper. "These people are staring at us."
Domino turns around and now she sees the people staring at them. "Weird…"
Jessie grabs the handle to the door and tries to open it, but it won't open. "Don't tell me the Gym is closed!"
"Maybe if we ring the doorbell?" Domino presses down the doorbell.
The doorbell makes a sound as Jessie and Domino wait for someone to answer. A few seconds pass and the unlocking of the door can be heard from the inside as the door opens. There were two people, one with scruffy black hair and brown eyes, and one with brown mohawk hair and blue eyes. They're both wearing a leather jacket, leather pants, and boots.
"What do you want?" The scruffy black-haired person asked the two females.
"I'm here for a Gym battle!" Jessie answered.
The brown-haired mohawk person just laughs. "Sorry, missy, but I think you both haven't read the sign!" They point at a sign that says 'no girls allowed' on the glass window of the Gym. "No girls allowed, Gym leader's rules!"
"WHAT?!" Both Jessie and Domino said in shock.
"That's bullshit! The gym leader has to accept all challenges from Pokémon trainers! It's the League rules!" Domino explained in anger.
The Scruffy black-haired person just shrugs. "Sorry, we're just following orders from the current Gym Leader. Don't blame us."
"Well, I want to speak to this Gym Leader right now!" Jessie demanded.
Scruffy black-haired and brown-haired mohawk people both look at each other as they both exit back into the Gym to inform the Gym Leader. A few seconds have passed and a person with red-styled hair, purple eyes, and a black headband across his head. His T-shirt is also the color purple and has blue shorts.
"What do you girls want?" Red-styled hair asked.
"What's the deal with you not letting girls like me into your gym?!" Jessie asked while frustrated.
"And who are you anyway?!" Domino added.
"I'm Kayden, I'm the substitute Gym Leader for the Celadon Gym." Kayden crosses his arms.
"Where's Erika anyway?" Domino asked.
"She went on a very long vacation and she ain't coming back for a long time," Kayden explained. "So as of right now, I'm in charge of this Gym! Which means my rules and I don't want any of you girls in it!"
Jessie and Domino both growl in frustration.
"You still haven't answered my question! Why?!" Jessie yelled.
Kayden shakes his head no. "Girls are not as strong as guys, why waste a Gym Battle if you're just going to lose anyway. I'm going back to my Gym." He turns his back and begins walking back into the Gym.
"If you're not going to answer my question then you better accept my challenge, unless you're scared of losing to a girl," Jessie smirks.
Domino also smirks. "Yeah, you jerk! You're totally scared that your ass is going to be beaten by the girl and then your statement will be proven wrong!"
Kayden stops dead in his tracks and slowly turns to Jessie. "Hmm… fine, I accept your challenge."
"B-but, sir!" The scruffy black-haired bodyguard is in disbelief.
"You said no girls were allowed in the Gym!" The brown-haired mohawk bodyguard reminded the substitute Gym Leader.
"It's fine, I got this!" Kayden responded to his two bodyguards. He turns his attention to Jessie. "Okay, missy, I accept your challenge. If you win, you get the Rainbow Badge." Kayden pulls out the Rainbow Badge from his pocket and shows it to Jessie. "But if I win… you and your little friend-" He points at Domino. "Are banned from ever stepping in Celadon as long as I'm the Gym Leader!"
"WHAT?!" Both Jessie and Domino are shocked.
Kayden smirks. "You heard me! Can't have annoying little girls like you wandering into this city."
Domino looks at Jessie. "Jessie, I think you should back out of this challenge. Celadon is like one of the most popular cities in Kanto!"
"Domino, Leaf is way ahead of me. She has five badges while I only have three, I need this badge to catch up with her!" Jessie turns her attention to Kayden and clutches her fist together. "Let's do it!"
"Good. Follow me in the Gym to the battlefield." Kayla heads inside. The two bodyguards follow him from behind.
Domino begins hyping up Jessie. "Jessie, you need to win this battle! Show that sexist jerk that he needs to stop looking down on girls!"
Jessie nods. "I will, Domino!"
Domino heads inside the gym. Jessie was about to follow Domino behind, but she spotted a hooded figure, looking at Jessie.
Jessie looks confused. "Huh? Did that hooded person possibly eavesdrop on that conversation?"
"Jessie, are you coming?" Domino shouted from inside the Gym.
"Coming!" Jessie heads inside the Gym.
It cuts to Team Rocket who were supposed to guard the poster but are playing a card game on the floor.
"You got any sevens?" Cassidy asked Butch.
Butch shakes his head no in response. "No, go fish."
Cassidy was about to pick a card when she heard someone enter the building.
"Now who could that be?" Cassidy looks up and sees that it was James and Meowth who entered the building. "Guys, look!"
Butch and Mondo also look up.
"Jimmy, why are you here in the Game Corner?!" Meowth asked.
"To gamble of course! I love gambling!" James responded.
Meowth shakes his head no. "Casinos are so rigged! You barely win anything from them and people end up losing a lot of money!"
"Well, it's a good thing me and my family are filthy rich then!" James sits down near a slot machine and begins gambling.
Meowth groans. "You better not become addicted!" The Pokémon sits next to James and begins watching him.
It shows Team Rocket peeking their heads back down and giggling.
"Meowth is here and no sign of the twerpette trainer anywhere!" Cassidy says.
"This must be a sign that this is the day that we finally steal the talking Meowth!" Mondo declared.
"And I got the perfect plan to steal it!" Butch smirks.
"Hold on here, I have a plan to steal that Meowth!" Cassidy says.
"No one gives a damn about your plan. Besides, I mentioned I have a plan first!" Butch points at himself.
"Umm… I was wondering if we can put my plan into action instead." Mondo chuckles in embarrassment.
"NO!" Cassidy and Butch both said in response.
Mondo growls in anger. "And why can't we use one of my plans?! Just because I'm the youngest from the trio makes my plans automatically bad?!"
The Team Rocket continues arguing. It cuts to the battlefield of the Celadon Gym with Jessie and Kayden standing on opposite sides of it.
Kayden explains his Gym rules to Jessie. "We both shall have one-on-one battles, best out of three. Is that good for you?"
"Got it!" Jessie responded.
"Heads or tails?" Kayden asked.
"Uhh… tails?" Jessie answered.
Kayden turns his attention to the Scruffy black-haired bodyguard. "Ike, flip a coin." Then he turns his attention to the brown-haired mohawk bodyguard. "Spike, you referee the match."
Ike and Spike both nod. "Yes, sir!"
"'Ike and Spike?' Wow, I wonder if he gave them those names…" Domino says quietly to herself.
Ike takes out a coin and flips it. The head shows on the coin in Ike's hand.
"It's heads!" Ike declared. "Which means, the challenger sends out the first Pokémon of this round!"
Jessie growls. "Fine." She takes out a Poké Ball from her purse. "Okay, this is your first ever actual trainer battle and let's see what you can do. Ponyta, I choose you!" Jessie sends Ponyta into battle.
"Ponyta!"
"A fire-type huh? I got the perfect Pokémon for it!" Kayden takes out a Poké Ball. "Rhyhorn, I choose you!" He sends Rhyhorn into battle.
The Rhyhorn roars into the battlefield as Ponyta looks scared.
"Rhyhorn?" Jessie pulls out her Pokédex.
"Rhyhorn, the Spikes Pokémon. A rock and ground type. Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying."
Jessie gulps until she notices something. "Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be using only grass-type Pokémon?! Rhyhorn isn't a grass type!"
"Only using Pokémon with a specific type is lame and boring and besides, grass types are pathetic! Rhyhorn, Rock Slide!" Kayden commanded.
Rhyhorn roars as its horn starts glowing white then boulders start appearing and the Pokémon flings them toward Ponyta.
"Dodge them, Ponyta!" Jessie commanded.
"Ponyta!" Ponyta starts moving left and right, dodging all the boulders.
Kayden growls in anger.
Jessie smiles. "Very good, now Take Down!"
"Ponyta!" Ponyta charges at Rhyhorn with incredible speed and tackles it, sending Rhyhorn to the ground.
"WHAT?!" Kayden couldn't believe that Jessie's Ponyta took Rhyhorn to the ground. "Get up Rhyhorn, now!"
"Don't let that happen. Ponyta, jump up in the air and use Stomp!"
Rhyhorn was about to get up, but Ponyta jumped up in the air. "Pooooonyta!" And then stomps Rhyhorn right on the head. Dust clouds begin to form and then after a few seconds, they clear, revealing Rhyhorn has fainted.
"Rhyhorn is unable to battle. Which means the first round of this best of three goes to the challenger!" Spike declared.
Domino claps. "Go, Jessie!"
"You did great, Ponyta! Return!" Jessie recalls Ponyta back into its Poké Ball.
Kayden recalls Rhyhorn back into its Poké Ball. "Don't think you won this battle yet. Hitmonchan, go!" He sends Hitmonchan into battle.
"Hitmonchan!"
Jessie begins to think as she begins to speak in her mind. "That Pokémon has boxing gloves on. It's gotta be a fighting type! I got the perfect Pokémon." Jessie pulls out a Poké Ball. "Pidgeotto, I choose you!" She sends Pidgeotto into battle.
"Pidgeotto!"
Kayden smirks. "I got her right where I want to." He says to himself quietly.
"Wing Attack, let's go!" Jessie commanded.
"Pidgeotto!" Pidgeotto starts to fly up to the ceiling:
"Hitmonchan don't do anything yet, just wait for my signal!" Kayden commanded.
Hitmonchan stands there, watching Pidgeotto fly up to the ceiling.
"Not attack huh? I guess he wants to lose." Jessie says quietly to herself. "Alright, do it, Pidgeotto!"
Pidgeotto starts flying down towards Hitmonchan, getting ready to use Wing Attack. Hitmonchan continues standing there and watching.
"Guess this battle is already-"
"THUNDER PUNCH!" Kayden screamed out.
"WHAT?!" Jessie screamed out in shock,
Hitmonchan quickly starts rubbing their boxing gloves together at incredible speeds, creating electricity surrounding their gloves. Pidgeotto dives down at Hitmonchan to try to hit it with one of its wings, but Hitmonchan punches Pidgeotto with an electrified fist right in the head. The Pokémon falls to the ground and faints.
"Pidgeotto, no!" Jessie was in disbelief.
"Pidgeotto is unable to battle." Spike declared. "Which means the second round of this best of three goes to Kayden!"
"Of course, you chose a flying type against my fighting type. You girls are so predictable." Kayden chuckles and recalls Hitmonchan back into its Poké Ball.
Jessie growls in frustration and recalls Pidgeotto back in its Poké Ball.
"Well, it looks like we're tied up. The next round will declare one of us the winner. I'll choose wisely if I was you, miss." Kayden grins.
"Come on Jessie, you can't lose!" Domino cheered on.
Jessie pulls out a Poké Ball containing her next Pokémon for the battle. "Nidoran, I choose you!" She sends out her female Nidoran into battle.
"Ran!" Nidoran cries into battle.
Kayden is seen twirling a Poké Ball with his finger. "This battle couldn't have gone better than I expected! Nidorino, I choose you!" He stops twirling the Poké Ball and sends Nidorino into battle.
"Rino!" Nidorino looks down at Nidoran.
Nidoran starts sweating in fear.
"Of course, you haven't evolved your Nidoran yet. You girls must be really lazy from training your Pokémon, huh?" Kayden laughs.
Jessie growls. "How about you stop talking badly about my gender and get on with the battle already!"
Kayden shrugs. "If you say so. Nidorino, use Bubble Beam!"
Nidorino blows multiple bubbles right at Nidoran.
"Use Double Team quick, Nidoran!" Jessie commanded.
"Ran!" Nidoran makes illusory copies of itself around the battlefield as the Bubble Beam hits an illusion.
Kayden clutches his fist in anger. "Keep using Bubble Beam until you hit the right Nidorino!"
"Rino!" Nidorino keeps blowing multiple bubbles but keeps hitting Nidoran illusion after illusion.
"Alright Nidoran, Double Kick!" Jessie commanded once more.
All of the Nidoran illusions disappear as the real Nidoran is behind, dashing at Nidorino and then kicking the Pokémon with both feet.
"Rino!" Nidorino falls to the ground from getting hit by the Double Kick.
Spike and Ike both look at each other.
Ike whispers to Spike. "Is Kayden really going to lose to a girl?"
Spike whispers back. "That would be funny."
Spike and Ike start chuckling with Kayden looking back at them. He growls in frustration.
Kayden clutches his fist in anger. "I don't want to waste my precious time with this girl anymore. Nidorino, end it with Horn Drill!"
Nidorino's horn begins to spin like a drill and starts charging at Nidoran.
"JESSIE, THAT'S HORN DRILL. IT'S A ONE-HIT KNOCKOUT MOVE!" Domino warned.
Jessie starts to worry. "Nidoran, Double Team, quick!"
Multiple Nidoran illusions began to appear around the battlefield once more.
"That's not going to work this time! Nidorino, find the real Nidoran, now!" Kayden demanded.
Nidorino starts charging at one of the Nidoran with its spinning horn and strikes the right Nidoran.
"RAN!" Nidoran gets hit, the illusions disappear and dust clouds begin to form around the battlefield.
"NIDORAN, NO!" Jessie yelled out.
The dust clouds begin to clear, revealing that Nidoran has fainted.
"Nidoran is unable to battle." Spike declared. "Which means the winner of this best-of-three battle is Kayden!"
Jessie and Domino both fall in defeat.
Jessie sighs. "Nidoran, return." She recalls Nidoran back in its Poké Ball.
"Good work as always, Nidorino!" Kayden recalls Nidorino back in its Poké Ball.
It cuts to Jessie and Domino getting thrown out of the city by Spike and Ike.
"You didn't have to force us! That hurt!" Domino yelled to them.
Spike and Ike both pull an akanbe at Jessie and Domino as they both laugh and walk back into the city,
Domino sighs. "Well, I better text James to get over here, because we're banned now."
Jessie growls. "No, you're not, because I'm getting back in that Gym! No sexist jerk is gonna keep me banned from Celadon!"
"Jessie, we can just find another Gym for your fourth badge," Domino suggested.
"Leaf has five badges and I only have three, I can't let Leaf get even further than me!" Jessie thought of a plan. "I have an idea." She begins calling James.
It cuts to the Game Corner with James still having his face in a slot machine. James' phone starts ringing.
"Um, James… your phone is ringing," Meowth says.
James ignores Meowth and continues gambling. "Must… hit… jackpot."
Meowth groans, grabs James' phone, and answers. "Hello?"
"Meowth, it's Jessie- wait, I thought I called James?" Jessie questioned.
"It's a long story, just tell me what's up?" Meowth says.
Time skips to Meowth arriving outside of Celadon where Jessie and Domino are with two bags full of clothes.
"I got the clothes!" Meowth says.
Jessie hands Domino one of the bags full of clothes. "Get dressed."
Domino blushes in embarrassment. "You mean out here in the open?!"
Jessie groans and facepalms. "No, find a bush or something!"
It cuts to Jessie and Domino walking up the Celadon Gym once more but with Meowth on Jessie's shoulder this time. Jessie and Domino are dressed in masculine clothes, disguised as men.
Jessie knocks on the door of the Gym. Spike and Ike both opened it.
"Hello, sirs. How can we help you?" Spike asked.
Jessie makes her voice deeper to sound masculine. "I would like a Gym Battle, please."
"Name?" Ike asked.
"Umm… Jesse. J-e-s-s-e." Jessie answered.
Spike raised an eyebrow. "Right this way."
Spike and Ike both let Jessie with Meowth and Domino in the gym. It cuts to the battlefield.
"Sir, you have a challenger!" Ike yelled out.
Kayden immediately steps forward to the battlefield, but immediately recognizes it was Jessie in disguise. "You idiots!" He turns his attention to his two bodyguards. "This is the same girl from earlier!"
"WHAT?!" Spike and Ike both yelled out in shock.
"That's right!" Jessie reveals herself by tossing her hat off of her head. "Kayden, I want a rematch right now!"
Kayden rolls her eyes. "You're not supposed to be here, little girl. You're banned from the city!"
"Accept my rematch. I'll prove girls are just as strong as guys, by beating you!" Jessie declared.
Kayden starts thinking about his decision. "Fine, I accept your rematch. On one condition. If you lose against me again, I will be taking your badges this time! Can't have a girl like you in the Kanto League tournament."
Meowth and Domino all gasp in shock.
Meowth whispers to Domino. "Wow… this guy is really sexist."
"I told you so," Domino whispered back.
"Do you have a deal?" Kayden asked.
Jessie starts to think about it, then she slowly nods. "Deal."
"Excellent. A simple one-on-one battle this time. Nidorino, I choose you!" Kayden sends Nidorino into battle.
"Rino!" Nidorino cried out.
Jessie clutches her fist and takes out Nidoran's Poké Ball. "Nidoran, I choose you!" She sends Nidoran into battle.
"Ran!" Nidoran also cried out.
Kayden laughs. "The female Nidoran again? Come on, everyone knows the male Nidoran line is stronger than the females. It's obvious!"
Jessie growls in anger. "I'll prove you wrong! Nidoran, use Bite!"
Nidoran bites down on Nidorino using its mouth.
"Rino!" The Pokémon screamed in pain and shakes Nidoran off as it landed on its feet.
"Fury Attack, Nidorino!" Kayden commanded.
Nidorino tries to use the move, but flinches.
Kayden is confused. "What?!"
Jessie smirks. "It flinched! Nidoran, Double Team!"
"Ran!" Nidoran creates illusions of itself around the battlefield, confusing Nidorino.
"Ice Beam, Nidorino!"
"Rino!" A light blue ball forms in front of Nidorino's horn then releases a light blue beam right at Nidoran but hits an illusion instead as it disappears from contact.
"Double Kick!" Jessie commanded.
The real Nidoran quickly dashes and kicks Nidorino with both feet.
"Rino!" The Pokémon falls to the ground of the battlefield but then gets back up.
Kayden growls in frustration. "I'm not losing to a girl! Nidorino, Bubble Beam!"
"Rino!" Nidorino then opens its mouth, blowing bubbles right at Nidoran, and hits the Pokémon.
"Ran!" The Pokémon cried out from taking damage.
Jessie sweats a little from being worried. "Fury Swipes!"
Nidoran starts dashing at Nidorino, exposing her sharp claws and getting ready to scratch.
"Dodge it, Nidorino!" Kayden commanded.
Nidorino jumps out of the way of the attack.
Kayden grins. "Let's finish this up with Horn Drill!"
Nidorino's horn starts spinning then he starts charging at Nidoran.
"NIDORAN, DODGE IT!" Jessie quickly shouted.
Nidoran jumps up in the air just in time before the one-hit KO'ing move can land on the Pokémon.
Kayden growls. "Damn!"
"Double Kick, let's go!" Jessie commanded.
Nidoran aims at Nidorino while she is falling to the ground and kicks Nidorino twice. before landing back on the ground.
Kayden starts to worry. "This Nidoran is stronger than I thought!"
"You damn right! You only beat my Nidoran last time because you managed to hit that one knockout cheap move!" Jessie responded.
Kayden growls in anger. "Silence, you dumb girl! Nidoran, Bubble Beam!"
"Rino!" Nidorino opens its mouth and starts blowing bubbles at Nidoran with extreme speed.
"Double Team, quick!" Jessie commanded.
"Ran!" Nidoran creates illusion copies of itself around the battlefield, confusing Nidorino
once more and ends up hitting an illusion and it disappears.
Kayden starts stomping his foot in frustration. "Come on, Nidoran. Stop getting confused!"
"Fury Swipes, Nidoran!"
The Nidoran illusions disappear as the real Nidoran scratches Nidorino. Nidorino tries to attack the Pokémon with its horn, but Nidoran jumps back and then scratches Nidorino again and then again and again and one final time.
"Rino!" Nidorino starts breathing heavily.
Kayden repeatedly starts growling in frustration. "I had enough of this tomfoolery! Finish this off right now and use Horn Drill, Nidorino! Show that the male line is more dominant than the dumb female line!"
"Rino!" Nidorino's horn starts spinning and then charges at Nidoran.
Jessie clutches her fist. "Nidoran, dodge that Horn Drill with a Double Kick!"
"Ran!" Nidoran starts charging at Nidorino.
As the two Pokémon full charge at each other, Nidorino looked like it was gonna land the Horn Drill, but Nidoran was able to kick Nidorino right in the chin before the Pokémon could land the one-hit KO'ing move then Nidoran kicks the Pokémon once more, flinging it back and hits the ground as dust clouds form. After it clears, it's revealed that Nidorino has fainted.
"WHAT?!" Kayden said in shock.
Spike was in shock as well but didn't declare anything and kept his mouth shut.
"Declare the battle you idiot! Nidorino is unable to battle!" Domino yelled at the bodyguard.
"Or I'll scratch that face of yours!" Meowth added.
Spike yelps. "N-Nidorino is unable to battle, which means Jessie is the winner…"
Jessie goes over to the battlefield and hugs Nidoran. "You did it, Nidoran!"
"Ran!" The Pokémon happily cries.
"You deserve a good rest!" Jessie recalls Nidoran back to its Poké Ball.
Kayden clutches his fist in anger then recalls Nidorino. He reaches into his pocket for a Rainbow Badge and walks up to Jessie. "You got lucky, girl. But you won anyway and as the substitute Gym Leader, I have to give you this Rainbow Badge and I guess unbanned you and your friend from the city."
Jessie looks at the Rainbow Badge for a bit. She then shakes her head no. "I don't want it."
"WHAT?!" Everyone in the Gym yelled out in shock.
Jessie stares at Kayden. "I realized during this battle that I wasn't battling you for a Gym Badge, I was battling you to represent all women, to prove that we shouldn't be looked down upon, and to prove sexist jerks like you wrong, and I did just that by kicking your ass! I refuse to accept a Gym Badge from the likes of you."
In the audience, Domino slowly smiles after what Jessie said to Kayden.
Kayden shakes her head no and puts the Rainbow Badge back in his pocket. "Wow, you girls are more stupid than I thought. Fine then, leave the city without a Rainbow Badge, I'll just carry out my duties as substitute Gym Leader!"
"Not anymore you're not, Kayden!" An unfamiliar voice out of nowhere said.
Everyone was confused until Jessie spotted the hooded figure from before. They remove the hoodie to reveal themselves.
"E-Erika?!" Kayden stuttered in worriedness.
Jessie's eyes widened. "Whoa, so you're Erika!"
Erika nods and smiles. "Yep!" Erika's smile quickly turns into a glare as she looks at Kayden. "Kayden, I'm extremely disappointed in you after I left you in charge of the Gym while I'm gone. I was getting reports that people of the female gender were being denied a Gym Battle! You absolutely disgust me! You and your two lackeys are now banned from Celadon City! Hand me the Rainbow Badge and Get out!"
Kayden growls in frustration as he hands the Rainbow Badge to Erika. Ike and Spike look sad as the three leave the Gym.
Erika turns to Jessie, Domino, and Meowth and she sighs. "I'm so sorry. Trust me, I didn't know he was a stupid sexist person. Trust me, this is going on his record and he won't be able to substitute any more Gyms."
Domino, Jessie, and Meowth all smile at this.
"Thank goodness. Good riddance to him. I love the sweet smell of karma!" Domino giggles.
"Jessie, how about tomorrow I give you an actual proper Gym Battle? What do you say?" Erika asked the trainer.
Jessie nods in agreement. "I say, I'm in!"
Erika nods back. "Excellent! I'll see you tomorrow then!"
Jessie turns to Domino and Meowth. "Come on, let's check into a hotel!"
"Should we get James first?" Domino asked.
"I think he will be just fine." Meowth snickers.
It cuts back to the Game Corner where James is still gambling in the same slot machine once more.
"I will hit the jackpot, just wait and see! This slot machine will give it to me!" James declared.
It cuts to the Team Rocket trio still on the floor.
"Alright, we agree that we all use our plan together as the ultimate Team Rocket plan to capture Meowth?" Cassidy asked.
Butch and Mondo both nod. "Let's do this!"
The Team Rocket trio all stand up to look over the slot machine where James is, but they don't see Meowth.
"WHERE DID MEOWTH GO?!" Cassidy yelled in disbelief.
Butch growls "Dammit! We fought too much and the cat got away!"
"And it was the perfect opportunity too!" Mondo said.
The Team Rocket trio sighs in disappointment. "Looks like Team Rocket messed things up again…"
