| Ash
and the gang are enjoying a nice picnic, when Misty comments that Ash hasn't
won a Badge in a while and wonders if he ever will. Ash and Misty begin
to argue when Todd suggests Ash take an exam and be entered into the Pokemon
League automatically. Ash decides to give it a shot, and they go to get
him registered. While there, Ash spots two very familiar looking strangers.
It's none other than Jessie and James in disguise, trying to add to their
resumes. The first two exams are written exams, with very tough true and
false questions and impossible identification problems. Jessie gets fed
up with the questions and storms out of the exam room, expelling her from
the class. In the end, the scores are displayed, and Ash's score is near
the bottom of the class, with Jessie and James taking up the lowest spots.
Ash is dismayed at first, but decides he will have a chance to redeem himself
during the battle exam. James takes the battling exam, but gets himself
expelled as well when he tries to double team on the instructor. James
wanders off in self-pity, but Jessie and Meowth find him and let him in
on their revenge plans. Meanwhile, Ash is battling against the instructor,
and has to use randomly picked Pokemon. The first Pokemon he calls out
is... a Weezing! Ash battles against the instructor's Flareon, and knocks
it out! Then he calls out another Pokemon... a Arbok! He tries to get Arbok
to wrap around a Jolteon, but the spikes on Jolteon hurt Arbok. Finally,
Ash calls out... a Meowth! Team Rocket's Meowth calls out battle advice
to Ash to battle the Vaporeon, but the other Meowth is frozen solid by
Vaporeon's Ice Beam! Meowth gets upset, jumps out and claws Ash's face,
while Team Rocket bounds out onto the field with the Pokemon James used
on the test. They command the Pokemon to attack, but the instructor tells
the Pokemon to attack Team Rocket. Since he trained them, the Pokemon obey
the instructor and send Team Rocket blasting off. Later on, the instructor
tells everyone that Team Rocket disruped the testing process and they will
have to start again. He asks Ash to try and take the test again, but Ash
politely says no, saying that he prefers his own way to get into the Pokemon
League.
