| After
failing to capture Pikachu once again, Team Rocket holds a meeting to decide
who is to blame for their troubles. After a long argument, they decide
they need to get another Pokemon to even the odds against the twerps. As
they go out in search of a new Pokemon, they come upon a Delibird in a
cage! A message on the cage says the Delibird is free to anyone skilled
enough to capture it. The cage opens and Delibird pops out. Jessie and
James both battle the bird until it finally goes down. They are about the
capture it when an old woman interrupts them, saying that Delibird is hers
and it was all just a test to find new members for Team Rocket. Jessie
and James insist that they are in Team Rocket, but a quick look at the
Team Rocket database confirms that they were kicked out long ago for not
paying their dues! Jessie, James and Meowth are devistated, but the old
lady tells them that all they need to do is just rejoin. They eagerly agree,
and the old lady sends off their data and prepares their next test. Back
at the Team Rocket headquarters, the head of human resources, Wendy, receives
the data and remembers that Jessie left her with a bill for a fruit smoothie
and she vows revenge. She passes Jessie and James's registration forms
to Giovanni, and despite them oweing a huge amount of money, he decides
to reinstate them, at least until they repay their debt. Back with the
old lady, she tells Jessie and James that they need to steal a Pokemon
from a group of trainers she's spotted and the trainers turn out to be
none other than Ash and company! James protests that they've always lost
to the kids, and the old lady offers to let them use her Delibird to battle
Ash. Jessie and James quickly agree and they dash off to battle. Delibird's
present attack blows up Ash and company, and puts Pikachu in serious condition.
However, sometimes Delibird's Present attack can sometimes heal a Pokemon,
and that's just what it does to Pikachu. The angry Pikachu quickly sends
Team Rocket flying off into the forest. Later on, the old lady finds Jessie
and James, and tells them they've been reinstated. She also takes back
her Delibird, saying that she will send it to them every month to pick
up payments to pay off their debts, which includes the original debt, registrations
charges, late dues, and... one fruit smoothie.
