Chereads / Jessie’s Pokémon Journey (AU) / Chapter 71 - Farewell, Meowth

Chapter 71 - Farewell, Meowth

The episode starts with the gang in a forest area and tossing a football to waste some time. "After our heroes have left the Indigo Plateau, they start heading back to Pallet Town, but on the way there, the gang decided to take a little break!"

"Go long, James!" Jessie has the football and throws it very far towards James.

"I got it! I got it!" James dashes toward where the football is descending in the air. He dives and catches the football. "Touchdown!" James gets up from the ground.

"Throw it to me, James!" Domino has her hands ready to catch it.

"Alright, Domino, it's coming right at ya!" James throws the football towards Domino.

Domino tries to catch it, but it slips out of her hands and falls to the ground. "Aww, man!"

"Wow, Domino, you suck at football." Jessie chuckles.

Domino grits her teeth. "Well excuse me for the fact that I didn't say I wanted to be a football player when growing up!"

Meowth is sitting right next to the tent with Azurill. He's looking down and sighs. "How can that act like nothing just happened yesterday? Especially Jessie…"

Jessie looks over at Meowth. "Hey Meowth, do you want to play catch with us?"

"Oh, no thanks! I'll just watch Azurill like I said I'll do earlier!" Meowth answered.

"Are you sure? We can just have Azurill fit in Domino's backpack." Jessie replied.

"It's fine, Jess! Just continue throwing the football without me." Meowth suggested.

"Okay if you say so…" Jessie continues playing catch with her two friends.

Azurill looks over at Meowth with a frown. "Azurill?" ("Is something the matter?")

"It's just… I'm upset about losing the league tournament for Jessie." Meowth replied with a sigh.

The title screen shows.

"Farewell, Meowth"

The scene cuts to night where the gang is sleeping in their tent. Meowth is lying on his trainer while Jessie is fast asleep. Meowth opens his eyes, not able to sleep. "I can't sleep…" Meowth hops off of Jessie and leaves the tent.

Meowth is taking a walk in the forest, looking up at the moon which is full and shining bright above him. "We were so close to winning the whole thing… until I couldn't hold on anymore."

A flashback occurs. It's about the previous episode with Jessie battling Lawson and it was Meowth versus Charizard. "Charizard, get Meowth off your back!" Lawson commanded.

Meowth still holds on despite Charizard shaking back and forth, trying to get Meowth off.

Jessie uses the opportunity of trying to put Charizard out of the battle. "That's it Meowth, hang on! Now use Thunderbolt while you're still hanging on!"

The flow of electricity starts in Meowth's body, getting ready to electrocute Charizard. "Get ready to be zapped badly, lizard breath!"

Then Charizard starts flying upside down. Meowth's grip on Charizard's back starts losing and losing until he can't hang on anymore, then that's when he lets go, and he starts falling towards the ground while screaming. "AHHHHH!"

Jessie screamed upon seeing Meowth falling. "MEOWTH!"

With Meowth falling, now it was Lawson's chance to put this battle to rest for good. "Now's your chance, Charizard! Use Dragon Rage!"

Charizard turns back right side up, roaring. The fire dragon uses Dragon Rage directly at Meowth while he is falling. As Meowth gets hit, he falls to the ground faster than before until he finally hits it and immediately faints, revealing to be burnt as well from the Dragon Rage.

Lance holds up the red flag to officially declare the match to be over. "Meowth is unable to battle. This means, the official winner of the Kanto League Tournament is and moving on to face the Elite Four and possibly the champion, me, in the Indigo League is…" The champion points directly at the winner of the battle, which is Lawson. "Lawson!"

The flashback ends and it cuts to the present time with Meowth feeling more down about losing. "Am I the right Pokémon for Jessie? Was it fate that she ended up being my trainer just a mistake?"

As Meowth continues condemning himself, he hears some bush rattles behind him as he quickly jumps up with his claws out and ready to fight. "Who's there?!"

An eye peeks out from the bushes and it looks exactly like Meowth's eye and then whoever was in the bushes reveals themselves and it was another Meowth. "Meowth, Me owth!" ("Hey, you're a Meowth too!") The wild Meowth runs towards Jessie's Meowth on fours and is amazed at seeing the talking Pokémon on two legs. "Meowth?!" ("And you're standing up like a human?!")

"Yeah, I can do that…" Jessie's Meowth replied, taking a step back.

The wild Meowth only took a step even closer but right in front of Jessie Meowth's face, expressing being shocked from hearing him talk. MEOWTH?! ("YOU CAN EVEN TALK LIKE A HUMAN TOO?!")

Jessie's Meowth awkwardly looks to his left and right. "Yeah… it's nothing special, so I wouldn't bother."

"Meowth?! Meowth!" ("Are you kidding me?! You would be the perfect fit to potentially be the next king of our valley!")

Jessie's Meowth raises an eyebrow. "'Our valley'? What do you mean by that?"

"Meowth! Meowth!" ("I'll show you! Follow me!") The wild Meowth sprints back into the bushes, heading deeper into the forest. Jessie's Meowth shrugs and decides to follow the wild Meowth.

The scene cuts to the wild Meowth stopping and arriving at the location with Jessie's Meowth following along. "Meowth!" ("We're here!")

Jessie's Meowth expresses shock, seeing a bunch of other Meowth in this exact location in the forest. Some Meowth were eating fruit, some were playing with a bunch of yarn, some were right next to a specific plan, and even more. "Wh-what is this place?!" Jessie's Meowth said with his eyes widened.

"Meowth! Meowth! Meowth." ("Welcome to Meowth Valley! This place is heaven for Meowth our kind! Let me show you around.")

The wild Meowth starts introducing Jessie's Meowth, Meowth Valley, starting with the fruit trees. "Meowth." ("This is the fruit trees area, where Meowth come to eat when they're hungry.")

Jessie's Meowth looks to see a couple of Meowth have a pile of fruit and they're eating it up. "Wow! That sounds interesting. It keeps food in our guts after all."

The scene cuts to the wild Meowth leading Jessie's Meowth to an area full of this one specific plant, a bunch of other Meowth are there, sniffing the plants, and feeling relaxed. "Meowth! Meowth!" ("This is the catnip area! Where any Meowth can come here and feel very relaxed!")

Jessie's Meowth's jaw dropped from shock. "A-a catnip area?!"

The wild Meowth nods. "Meowth. Meowth." ("These plants are called 'Nepeta cataria.' Which is the plant catnip is made from.")

"This place sounds like Meowth heaven so far!" Jessie's Meowth says with a large smile.

"Meowth, Meowth!" ("We're not done yet, my friend!") The wild Meowth starts leading Jessie's Meowth to another area.

The scene cuts to a montage of every area the wild Meowth introduces to Jessie's Meowth, like the area where all Meowth sleep, the lake and water to drink from, and the ball of yarn everywhere for entertainment. "Meowth, Meowth." ("And that's it, except there's only one area to show you.")

Jessie's Meowth looks around the whole Meowth Valley in delight. "Wow! I have to say, this place is very great! I could live here for the rest of my life if I wanted to!"

The wild Meowth looks over at Jessie's Meowth with a confused look. "'Meowth'? Meowth? Meowth, Meowth?" ("'Wanted to'? What do you mean by that, Meowth? You are planning on staying here to potentially be our new king, right?")

"Well, you see Meowth… I have a trainer and I have to find my way back to her before she notices I'm gone in the morning." Meowth replied.

The wild Meowth looked annoyed by Jessie's Meowth statement. "Meowth. Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("Trainers are nothing but a disgrace. Almost every Meowth here had a trainer, but they were unfortunately abandoned by them. That's when we all decided to come here and build this valley for all the Meowth that have been abandoned by their trainers or the Meowth abandoned their trainers.")

"Wait… so you criticize trainers abandoning their Meowth, but praise Meowth abandoning their trainers? Doesn't that sound kinda hypocritical there, pal?" Jessie's Meowth questioned.

The wild Meowth looks away from annoyance. "Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("I have my reasons pal, plus the reason why the Meowth abandoned their trainer is from the abuse they took. We're near the last location I want to show you.")

Jessie's Meowth just remains quiet and lets the wild Meowth lead him to the last location. Upon arriving, Jessie's Meowth sees two other Meowth that look like they are having a battle with each other with a bunch of other Meowth watching from the sidelines. "Are those two Meowth having a battle?" Jessie's Meowth questioned.

The wild Meowth nods in response. "Meowth. Meowth, Meowth." ("Correct. They're battling to get a chance to fight our very own king of the Meowth valley, so they can become the new king by defeating him.")

The two Meowth that are battling, start clashing their claws over and over again, back jumping away from each other and clashing claws once more, until one of the battling Meowth gets the upper hand and manages to claw the other battling Meowth as they declare the winner. "Meowth!" ("I win!") The other Meowth watching from the sidelines all start clapping and cheering for the winner.

Jessie's Meowth was confused by this. "Wait, they only got one hit off and was automatically declared the winner?"

"Meowth. Meowth, Meowth." ("We don't want our Meowth in the Meowth Valley to be seriously hurt. So our battle rules are, no hard scratches and whoever strikes first is automatically the winner.")

The two battling Meowth touch tails to show respect toward one another as the losing Meowth ends up going to the crowd. "Meowth?" ("Does anyone else want to battle me or should I go ahead and challenge the king already?") The winner Meowth said.

Jessie's Meowth's friend looks at him with excitement. "Meowth!" ("You should go and battle him. I think you can do it!")

Jessie's Meowth points to himself with shock. "Me? Are you sure?"

"Meowth!" ("Oh come on! It would be fun!") the friend Meowth shouts towards the battling Meowth. "Meowth! Meowth!" ("Hey! My friend wants to battle you!")

The battling Meowth looks over at Jessie's Meowth standing each other on two feet as they glare. "Meowth… Meowth, Meowth!" ("You're standing like a human… I hate humans because they remind me of my trainer that abandoned me!")

Jessie's Meowth starts sweating in fear. "S-sorry to hear about that man."

All of the Meowth around the area gasp in shock upon hearing Jessie's Meowth speak as they start gossiping and rumoring with a whisper. "Meowth!" "Meowth, Meowth? "Meowth?" ("That Meowth can speak like a human!" "I know, how can he do that?" "He is a human who transformed into a Meowth?")

The battling Meowth stares at Jessie's Meowth some more with a glare. "Meowth? Meowth, Meowth!" ("So you can talk like a human too huh? However you managed to have such special capabilities, I just want to battle you so I can destroy you!")

Jessie's Meowth gulps before growing some confidence and accepting the battling Meowth's invitation to battle. "You want to battle me? Okay then, I will!"

"Meowth!" ("Set the battle to no rules!") the battling Meowth said, causing gasps in the Meowth crowd.

All of the Meowth in the crowd start whispering. "Meowth?!" "Meowth!" "Meowth!" ("No rules?!" "We haven't seen a rule in a Meowth battle for months!" "This is going to get entertaining!")

Jessie's Meowth looks at his friend Meowth. "A battle with no rules?"

"Meowth. Meowth." ("Oh that just means this battle is like a regular Pokémon battle. Whoever gets knocked out loses.") Jessie's friend Meowth replied.

Jessie's Meowth walks over to the made-up battlefield, staring directly down the battling Meowth. Both of them get ready as they show each other their sharp claws and then both Meowth start running towards and start clawing each other.

"You're not beating me!" Jessie Meowth said.

"Meowth, Meowth?" ("Look, is that your trainer over there?") The battling Meowth points in a different direction.

"Jessie?" Meowth looks where the battling Meowth was pointing only to see nothing and get slashed in the gut by the battling Meowth's claws. "OW!"

The battling Meowth starts shaking their head. "Meowth. Meowth, Meowth. Meowth!" ("Pathetic. If this was a regular Meowth battle in the valley, you would've already lost. You should be lucky I called for no rules!")

"Oh yeah?! You don't know how many tough Pokémon I battled before and won!" Jessie's Meowth starts disappearing and reappearing around the battling Meowth in circles from his fast speed.

The battling Meowth starts looking all around, trying to catch up, but can't. "Meowth! Meowth!" (Hey! Stop moving!") They end up getting confused.

After the time is right, Jessie's Meowth slashes the battling Meowth right in the back. They scream in pain before falling to the ground and are completely knocked out.

Jessie's Meowth blows on his claws with a satisfying look. "I told you I've been in way more tougher battles than you."

All the Meowth in the crowd section start cheering for Jessie's Meowth. "Meowth, Meowth!" "Meowth?" "Meowth, Meowth!" ("No way, that talking Meowth has beaten the second strongest Meowth here!" "Can he beat the king?" "With that kind of strength, maybe!")

"Bring me your king! I'll show all of you that I will defeat him and become your new king of Meowth Valley!" Jessie's Meowth declared.

The scene cuts to a Meowth-made palace as a Meowth wearing a crown on his head is relaxing and being fed with grapes until his royal secretary walks up to him. "Meowth, Meowth, Meowth. ("Um, my king, there's a Meowth in the valley that wants to battle you and dethrone you.")

King Meowth spits out the grape that was just fed to him. "Meowth?! Meowth. Meowth!" ("What?! They must be stupid or something. No Meowth whatsoever in Meowth Valley can dethrone the king!")

"Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("Sir, it appears that this Meowth can walk and talk exactly like a human. He said that he has faced many tough battles before and can take you on.")

"Well, it looks like I have to go there and check this out for myself!" King Meowth snaps his fingers. "Guards! Carry me to the battlefield!"

Two Meowth guards begin carrying King Meowth to the battlefield. The scene cuts to the said battlefield with all the Meowth cheering for Jessie's Meowth and praising him.

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll be your next king!" Jessie's Meowth starts bowing and waving at the crowd.

All the cheering and applause drop to dead silence once hearing a royal voice. "Meowth?" "Meowth?" ("Oh really now? You're going to be the next king of Meowth Valley?")

Jessie's Meowth looks to see King Meowth being carried by two guards on their backs and heading in his direction. Once the two guards walk to the battlefield, they place the king Meowth. "So you must be the king of this place?" Jessie's Meowth asked.

King Meowth responds with a nod. "Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("Yes, I am the king of Meowth Valley and I keep hearing rumors of a potential Meowth trying to take over my throne. I guess that must be you.")

"Yeah, that's me, alright. I challenge you to a Meowth Valley battle for the position of being king!" Jessie's Meowth said with confidence, causing so much gasp from the other Meowth in the crowd.

King Meowth stares directly at Jessie's Meowth before nodding. "Meowth. Meowth, Meowth. Meowth!" ("Very well. If you wish to do battle with me for the spot of the king, then I have no choice but to say yes. A king must always defend their crown!")

Jessie's Meowth has a smirk on his face with a look as his paws start to glow white and become sharper. "Good. I'm ready when you are!"

King Meowth does the same, showing their sharp claws. "Meowth. Meowth, Meowth." ("Now I hope you remember the rules of a Meowth battle in the Meowth Valley. Whoever gets the first strike, wins.")

Jessie's Meowth nods. "I know them. Let's battle already."

"Meowth, Meowth? Meowth." ("An impatient one, huh? This is going to be easy.") King Meowth gets ready to battle and so does Jessie's Meowth.

The battle begins and both Meowth start dashing towards each other with their sharp claws and start clawing and scratching. They both jump back and then dash toward each other again and start trying to scratch each other again, but only to meet their paws over and over again until they have to jump back again.

Jessie's Meowth starts panting from exhaustion and talking to himself. "Okay, he's good, but I faced tougher competition before. I can do this!"

King Meowth also is panting. "Meowth, Meowth, Meowth!" ("Okay, this is the toughest competition I have ever faced, but I gotta stay focused!")

The battle is back on as both Meowth dash towards each other once more scratching each other's claws, trying to land the hit but each Meowth keeps blocking every opportunity with their claws.

Jessie's Meowth gets an idea and starts thinking about it inside his mind. "Wait, I need to find a way where the king will try to block with both of his claws and that's when I strike!"

Jessie's Meowth starts trying to claw the king Meowth's face, causing the king to guard with both of his claws and that's where Jessie's Meowth takes the opportunity by pushing the king out of balance and then making the strike right in the stomach of the king as the king Meowth slowly falls to the ground.

"And that's the game! I am officially the new king of Meowth Valley!" Jessie's Meowth picks up the crown off the floor and wears it on his head as all the other Meowth in the crowd start applauding and cheering for the new king.

The scene cuts to the gang's campsite where it's more morning. Jessie has just woken up as she stretches with her arms. "Good morning, Domino."

"Good morning, Jessie," Domino replied.

Now it was James' turn for Jessie to say good morning to. She looks over towards James. "Morning, James."

James also replies to Jessie like Domino did. "Morning, Jessie!"

And finally, it was Meowth's turn. Jessie looks over the empty small bed for Meowth to say good morning to. "Morning, Meowth-" That's when Jessie realized that Meowth wasn't there. "Meowth?" She starts looking around the tent, but no Meowth in sight. "Hey guys, have you seen Meowth?"

"We just woke up, Jessie. Maybe he just woke up a little earlier than us and decided to go on a walk." Domino suggested.

"But it's pretty easy to get lost in this forest, we should go and find him." James also suggested.

Jessie nods in agreement. "Yeah! Let's go find him before I start getting worried."

As the gang starts leaving the tent, Jessie, Domino, and then James begin calling out Meowth's name. "MEOWTH!" "MEOWTH ARE YOU NEAR?" "PLEASE DON'T WORRY US, MEOWTH!"

James notices some paw prints on the ground and points them out. "Guys, look!"

The gang walks over the paw prints and starts observing them. "They look like a Meowth paw print, but how are we one hundred percent sure they're Meowth's?" Jessie asked.

Domino points her finger in the sky, figuring out how. "I know how. Meowth normally stands and walks like a human, correct? As you can see here, there are only two sets of paw prints and not four!"

"Exactly! So this must be our Meowth's paw prints!" James confirmed with a smile.

"Alright, let's follow them," Jessie says as the gang starts following Meowth's paw prints on the ground.

The scene cuts to a far in the distance where Team Rocket is spying on the gang with binoculars. "It seems like the talking Meowth isn't with the twerps!" Cassidy stated.

"So that just means that Meowth is all alone, just waiting for us to steal it!" Butch grins.

"Let's go find Meowth before the twerps do!" Mondo suggested.

As Team Rocket leaves their area to go find Meowth for themselves. The scene cuts to Meowth Valley where Jessie's Meowth, who's now the king and wearing the crown, is relaxing in his Meowth-made palace on his throne and being fed grapes by two other Meowth. "Ahh, this is life! I love being the king!"

The security Meowth walks over to the new king and bows. "Meowth, Meowth." ("Congratulations on becoming the new king last night, my Highness.)

"Why thank you, security. I was just born to be in this very moment!" Jessie's Meowth takes a sip out of his wine glass. "This wine is very delicious."

"Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("My Highness, it has come to my attention that the queen will arrive today. She has heard about the new king of the valley and wants to meet you.")

"A queen huh?" Jessie's Meowth smirks. "What's her name?"

"Meowth, Meowth." ("You may refer to the queen as Queen Meowzie, my Highness.") The security Meowth replied.

This causes Jessie's Meowth to spit out grapes in shock like the last king. "MEOWZIE?!"

The scene cuts to the gang following the paw prints, until they come across another set of paw prints. "That's… odd?" James questioned.

"Another set of paw prints? They look exactly like Meowth's set as well." Jessie added.

"And this time, this set has four and two like how a regular Meowth does." Domino also added.

"Let's just continue following them and they will lead us to the answers." James orders as Jessie and Domino shrug toward each other before continuing to follow the paw prints.

The scene cuts to Team Rocket arriving at the Meowth Valley that they stumbled upon, hiding behind a tree nearby and seeing a bunch of Meowth minding their own business. "What the hell is this?" Butch questioned in confusion.

"I have never seen a bunch of Meowth in one place. This is like some Meowth paradise or something." Mondo says.

"Do you think the twerpette's Meowth is here?" Cassidy questioned.

Mondo starts looking through his binoculars, looking around and seeing a bunch of Meowth, but none fits the description, until Mondo lays his eyes on a particular Meowth with a crown on his head and walking on his two feet from the palace with two over Meowth walking on fours near him. "The twerpette's Meowth can walk like a human, right?"

Both Cassidy and Butch nod in response to Mondo's question. "Yes."

"Well take a look at this with your binoculars, one Meowth is wearing a crown and walking like a human." Mondo pointed out.

Cassidy and Butch also put their binoculars on and they both spot the Meowth with a crown on his head, walking on his two feet. "That must be the twerpette's Meowth! Well, that's easy to sort out." Cassidy says with a grin.

Butch gets an idea. "Say! What about instead of just stealing one Meowth, we can steal a whole population of them right here in this valley! This will surely make the boss happy!"

"I like the way you're thinking Butch! Why just have one Meowth when you can just steal a quadrillion of Meowth!" Cassidy raises her fist in the air.

Mondo embarrassingly chuckles, rubbing the back of his head. "There's not that much of Meowth."

The scene cuts to Jessie's Meowth walking with his two security Meowth next to him, a little nervous. He whispers to one of the security Meowth. "C-can I just cancel this? Do I have to meet the queen?"

"Meowth, Meowth, Meowth. Meowth." ("Sorry, my Highness, but if you choose to not meet the queen, it will be an act of treason and you will automatically be resigned as king. The new king of our valley must meet the queen under no circumstances.")

Jessie's Meowth sighs and continues walking with the two security Meowth. In the middle of the valley, all the Meowth clear the path for the king, who was Jessie's Meowth.

The secretary Meowth starts announcing the queen. "Meowth, Meowth, Meowth!" ("Ladies Meowth and gentlemen Meowth, please welcome the queen of Meowth Valley, Queen Meowzie!")

All the Meowth look in the direction where the secretary Meowth is pointing and there is Queen Meowth, making her way to see the new king with two of her security Meowth next to her. Jessie's Meowth gulps upon seeing Meowzie getting closer and closer to him.

Once Queen Meowzie got a closer look at Jessie's Meowth, she realized with her eyes widened. "Meowth?" ("Are you the same Meowth that tried to get my attention by acting like a human?")

All the Meowth gasp in shock upon hearing that the king and queen have already met before and start whispering to each other. "Meowth?" "Meowth!" "Meowth, Meowth!" ("Our royal rulers have already met beforehand?" "What a coincidence!" "This isn't a coincidence, it's fate!)

Jessie's Meowth slightly chuckles and waves at her. "H-hi."

Before Queen Meowzie could respawn, a sound starts shaking the Meowth Valley and then a big Meowth machine appears from the trees of the forest boarding the valley. A large vacuum pops up in front of the machine and starts sucking up a bunch of Meowth in the valley as they start crying out in fear.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Meowth screamed out in confusion.

The four security Meowth started guarding the two royal rulers to protect them from the machine. "Meowth!" ("Get down, King Meowth and Queen Meowzie!") One of the security Meowth said.

The vacuum from the big machine stops sucking up as a trio of laughter is heard. A hatch opens from the top, and the Team Rocket trio slowly reveals themselves and starts their motto. "Prepare for trouble!" "And you can make that double!" "To infect the world with devastation!" "To blind all peoples within every nation!" "To denounce the goodness of truth and love!" "To extend our wrath to the stars above!" "Cassidy!" "And Butch of course!" "We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night!" "Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!" Mondo ends the motto with his line. "I'm Mondo, alright!"

Jessie's Meowth grits his teeth. "It's that annoying Team Rocket again!"

"Meowth, Meowth?" ("You know them, sir?") One of the security Meowth asked.

Jessie's Meowth nods in response. "They're nothing but dumb criminals who have been trying to steal me for months now!"

Cassidy has a megaphone up to her mouth now as she speaks. "Attention Meowth of Meowth Valley, you are all officially owned by Team Rocket. Prepare to be sucked by our huge Meowth vacuum machine!" The Team Rocket trio descends back down to their Meowth machine and goes back to sucking up Meowth and now they start going forward, destroying the valley while sucking up more and more Meowth in the machine.

"Meowth! Meowth!" ("Our valley is being invaded! They're destroying everything!") Queen Meowzie said with a yell.

The four security Meowth start guiding the king and queen to a safer place. "Meowth, Meowth. ("My highnesses, we need to come with us to a safer place.") One of the security Meowth said.

Jessie's Meowth starts to worry and then starts speaking inside his mind. "Jess, where are you?!"

The scene cuts to the gang still following the set of paw prints on the ground and then they hear the sound of a vacuum and several Pokémon crying for help. "Do you guys hear that?!" Jessie asked.

"Yes! We got to see what's up, now!" Domino ordered.

James nods in response. "Right!"

The gang rush towards where the sounds are coming from and they end up arriving at Meowth Valley where they see a Meowth vacuum machine destroying the valley and sucking up a bunch of Meowth. "What is that machine doing to those poor Meowth?!" Domino questioned in shock.

Azurill frowns in response. "Azurill…"

"Guys, look closer at the machine," James says.

Jessie and Domino look closer and they see the red letter R on the Meowth machine, indicating to the gang that it's Team Rocket. "Of course, it's Team Rocket! I believe Meowth is here, let's hope he didn't get sucked in!"

"We got to save him and the rest of the Meowth!" Domino says, as Jessie and James nod in response and then the gang rushes into the valley to stop Team Rocket.

Inside the Meowth machine, the Team Rocket trio is singing a little tune about how this plan is going great so far. "We're gonna get promotions! We're gonna get promotions!"

The Meowth machine destroys a Meowth-made building where the king and queen with the four security Meowth were hiding. "Well look what we got here, folks?" Cassidy said with a grin.

Jessie's Meowth shoots some electricity from its fur at the machine, but the electricity just ricochets off the Meowth machine. "Our vacuum machine is electricity-proof! You're not electrocuting this one!" Mondo said.

Jessie's Meowth and Meowzie hold on to each other in fear, before realizing what they are doing and blush while doing so.

"Alright Butch, set this puppy to maximum succtation!" Cassidy says with a grin.

Butch raises an eyebrow. "Is that even a word?"

"Who cares! Just set the machine to max!" Cassidy ordered.

"Alright! Alright!" Butch pulls down the lever to set it to max by the machine.

Jessie's Meowth and Meowzie close their eyes, about to be sucked into the vacuum of the machine, until they hear a feminine voice, familiar to Jessie's Meowth. "BLASTOISE, USE WITHDRAW AND BLOCK THE ENTRANCE!"

Blastoise materializes in front of the king and queen Meowth, withdrawn into its shell. The Meowth vacuum ends up sucking up Blastoise as the shellfish Pokémon was too big for it and ends up clogging the Meowth vacuum from functioning.

"J-Jessie!" Meowth shouted out, his eyes sparkling in amazement from seeing his very own trainer protecting him.

"What's going on?! Why isn't it working?!" Butch starts pulling the level up and down, frustrated.

"Um guys, you might want to take a look at who's in front of us." Mondo points at the windshield in front of Team Rocket and they see the gang right in front of the royal Meowth.

"TWERPS!" Cassidy and Butch both yelled out.

The gang all pull out Poké Balls, sending out one of their Pokémon to help. "Ivysaur, slash their tires with your Razor Leaf!" "Scizor, open up the machine to release all the Meowth with your Metal Claw!" "Charizard, carry all the Meowth back to the ground!"

Ivysaur materializes first and throws razor-sharp leaves from its flower directly to the front tires, flatting them. Scizor materializes next and its claw glows metallic and slashes the middle part of the Meowth machine where all the Meowth got sucked up. Charizard materializes last and carries all the Meowth back to the ground from the Meowth machine with its wings.

Cassidy growls. "There goes all our Meowth for the boss!"

"Don't worry, I got a backup plan and that's crushing every one of them with our Meowth machine paws!" Mondo presses a button.

One of the paws of Team Rocket's robotic vacuum Meowth starts descending towards the gang and both Meowth and Meowzie. Jessie quickly grabs the two Meowth as everyone jumps out of the way. "Blastoise, fill up that machine with your water with your Hydro Pump!" Jessie commanded.

Blastoise, still clogging up the vacuum, starts spraying jets of water while still withdrawn and inside of its shell, filling the entire machine with water and making it wet, then it rolls out of the vacuum and withdraws out. "Blastoise!"

Team Rocket is now submerged in their area from the water as Jessie commands her Meowth next. "Meowth, use Thunderbolt!"

"On it!" Meowth hops up in the air as electricity starts flowing around his fur. He blasts electricity directly towards the Meowth machine. Since it's filled with water and completely wet, the electricity from Meowth's Thunderbolt this time causes the machine to explode and send Team Rocket blasting off.

Cassidy starts squirming frustratedly while in the air. "I can't believe we failed to steal Meowth again!"

Mondo sighs and shrugs. "It was a good plan while it lasted."

Butch rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. "If it was a good plan then why are we blasting off?"

Muk burst out of its Poké Ball. "Muk!"

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" "MUK!" Ding!

Meowth flexes with his fist up. "Now that's how it was done!"

Meowzie was staring at Jessie's Meowth admiringly in the back. It cuts to all of the Meowth in the Meowth Valley praising the gang for saving their valley from Team Rocket. The former king walks towards the gang. "Meowth! Meowth."

The gang all raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Um, Meowth can you translate for us?" Jessie asked."

Meowth starts translating. "Former king dude said; 'Thank you all you brave trainers for saving Meowth Valley from those criminals! I guess humans are not that bad after all.'"

"Oh, it was nothing. We always deal with those three all of the time." Domino says, rubbing the back of her head.

James points out the crown on Meowth's head. "Meowth, why is there a crown on your head?"

"Oh! These other Meowth made me king, so I guess I kinda rule this valley." Meowth answered with a chuckle.

"Oh… are you happy here?" Jessie asked with a short pause at the beginning.

Meowth looks around. "Well, this place has got everything to fit for a Meowth! I would be so happy if I could just live here for the rest of my life!"

Meowzie walks up to Meowth with a smile on her face. "Meowth,… Meowth. Meowth?" Whatever Meowzie said to Meowth caused him to blush.

James raises an eyebrow. "What did Meowzie say, Meowth?"

"Meowzie said; 'Meowth, I just want to say… I'm very sorry about rejecting you in those early days. Will you please stay with me in this valley and be my king?'" Meowth translated slowly.

Jessie has her hat covering her eyes as she starts to feel sad and cry. "Well… if it makes you happy, Meowth, y-you can stay here." She quickly turns around and heads back into the forest, crying her eyes out.

"JESSIE!" Both Domino and James screamed out before chasing her into the forest.

The scene cuts to the forest with Jessie running and crying her eyes out. She starts remembering and having flashbacks about all the good times with Meowth, like him being her very first Pokémon on her journey, all the Pokémon battles she had, and being there at the very beginning of her Pokémon journey. Jessie finally stops running and continues crying her eyes out. "M-Meowth… I'll miss you, friend.

The shout of her name from Domino and James is heard behind her. "Jessie!" They finally caught up to Jessie as they stopped.

"Jessie, what are you doing?!" Domino asked in disbelief.

"Azurill!" Azurill cries out, also in disbelief.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Jessie slowly turns around, revealing her crying eyes to her friends. "I'm letting Meowth go so that he can stay here, continue ruling Meowth Valley, and with Meowzie as his queen. It's obvious that he wants to stay here forever, you heard him."

"Jessie, this is ridiculous," James stated. "You didn't even hear Meowth's decision. You just randomly took off without him making it!"

"I don't need to hear it! The words already made it up. Besides, I know Meowth would rather stay there than travel with us. Come on, let's go." Jessie turns around and continues walking with James and Domino having a frown on their faces.

However as Jessie was looking at the ground, many shadows shaped like Meowth started casting. "Huh?" Jessie turns around and so does Domino and James.

What the gang saw as they turned around was a bunch of Meowth grouped and blocking something, until some of them moved to the right and left, like the motion of opening a door. Jessie's Meowth was standing right in the middle as dashes towards Jessie and hugs her.

"M-MEOWTH?!" Jessie hugs back, but she is surprised. "Wh-why are you here? Shouldn't you be back at the Meowth Valley?"

"Sure, that place is great and it's got everything, but I'm going to just throw away months of traveling with ya just outside the window like that. We're gonna stick together until the very end!"

All the other Meowth in the background start cheering out their cries for the two as Jessie and Meowth continue to hug each other as Domino, James, and Azurill all start clapping for the two.

Meowzie slowly starts approaching the two as Meowth breaks the hug and hops back on the ground. "Sorry, Meowzie, but I'm choosing to stay with Jessie. I hope you're not mad at me." He looks down.

Instead of saying anything, Meowzie just nuzzles Meowth and then nods. "Meowth!"

Meowth smiles and nods back at her. "Thank you, Meowzie."

The gang all start waving goodbye at all of the other Meowth as they turn around and start heading back on their trail then the narrator starts concluding the episode. "The bond between Jessie and Meowth is stronger than before. If being crowned king and living in your paradise can't break these two apart then I'm sure not anything can't! What's next for the gang? Find out soon as the journey continues!"
