[Meanwhile...]
(Team Rocket is outside of the tent with another Pika-napping attempt.)
(Jessie turns to James.)
Jessie: "Insulated gloves?"
James: "Check,"
(James says, holding the pink rubber gloves.)
Jessie: "Big rubber ball?"
(Jessie asks.)
Meowth: "Check. Check. Check-a-roonie!"
(Meowth says, rolling the ball over.)
Jessie: "Team Rocket will do what it has to do."
(Jessie announces.)
(Then James says.)
James: "To snatch that little Pikachu."
(But also says.)
James: "Maybe we should go back to our old motto. This one doesn't feel right."
(Meowth hops on the ball and suggests.)
Meowth: "Hey! How about a theme-Meowth-song? And I can even do a little dance solo. Everyone loves music."
(Meowth then begins to roll on the ball.)
(As for Jessie and James, they have other opinions about Meowth's idea.)
Jessie: "A song's no good."
(Jessie says.)
James: "A dance won't work."
(James adds.)
(Meowth continues to roll on the ball, even doing a handstand on it.)
(They soon turn to Meowth who is purring and rubbing his face against his paw.)
Jessie: "Here's a line you'll like."
(Jessie says.)
James: "And what's that?"
(James asks.)
(Then Jessie says.)
Jessie: "How about choreography killed the cat?"
(Back in the gym, a timer counts down to zero.)
(Then the bell rings loud.)
(A.J. shouts.)
A.J: "Okay, you wimps get a fifteen minute break!"
(Mew and the others look to see the Pokemon are panting and collapsed on the ground.)
Mew: "Wow! They look beat. I think the training is intense."
(Mew says.)
A.J: "You better believe it. In this gym, we live by the rules, no pain, no gain."
(A.J. says.)
Misty: "Guess everyone is different in their own way."
(Misty says.)
(While the trainers have their conversion, Pikachu and Eevee tap on the strength intensifiers.)
(Suddenly, they fly on to the two Pikachu and cause them to roll into a ball.)
(Sandshrew simply laughs and does the same.)
[Meanwhile...]
(Team Rocket is rolling in a circle and is feeling dizzy.)
Meowth: "I'm getting dizzy!"
(Meowth panics.)
James: "Stop complaining! Look for Pikachu!"
(James says.)
(The reason why they're rolling is because they're inside of a red ball that has a hole on it.)
Jessie: "Roll over there!"
(Jessie says.)
(They roll the ball over and see Sandshrew through the hole.)
James: "What's that?"
(James asks.)
Jessie: "Could it be Pikachu?"
(Jessie asks.)
Meowth: "Yeah, that's it! Now hurry! All that rolling made me nauseous!"
(Meowth says.)
(Team Rocket then snatches Sandshrew thinking it's Pikachu and puts it in a bag.)
James: "Got it!"
(James says.)
(Then they stand up with their feet out of the ball.)
Jessie: "Let's go!"
(Jessie says.)
(They scurry out as Meowth says.)
Meowth: "Hurry, I feel sick!"
(The group hurries outside of the gym and the rubber ball falls off of them.)
Meowth: "My leg fell asleep!"
(Meowth says.)
James: "I wish your mouth would!"
(James says.)
(Team Rocket runs off into the distance taking Shadow with them.)
(Back in the gym, A.J. and the others continue talking until the bell rings.)
(A.J. calls out.)
A.J: "Time's up! Back to work, all of you!"
(With that, the Pokemon begin to carry out their training.)
(A.J. looks around and asks.)
A.J: "Hey, where's Sandshrew?
[Suddenly...]
(A.J. notices.)
A.J: "That's weird. What's your Pikachu and Eevee doing?"
(A.J. walks to the Pikachu and Eevee to see them rolled up into a pair of balls.)
(Mew hurries to her partner's side.)
Mew: "Pikachu! Eevee!"
(Mew tries to pull them back to their normal shake, but to no avail.)
Mew: "They're stuck!"
(Mew replies.)
A.J: Here. Give them to me,"
(A.J. says.)
(A.J. unbuckles the strength intensifier and both Pikachu and Eevee are back to their normal shapes.)
(Pikachu turns to A.J. and says.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu," (Thank you.)
Eevee: "Eevee!" (Thanks!)
(Eevee says, shaking his head.)
(A.J. asks Mew's Pokemon.)
A.J: "Pikachu, Eevee, have you seen Sandshrew?"
Pikachu: "Pika." (No.)
(Pikachu answers, shaking his head.)
Eevee: "Eevee." (We haven't.)
(Eevee answers.)
A.J: "You haven't?"
(A.J. asks, worried.)
(Then calls out.)
A.J: "Sandshrew! Where are you!?"
Misty: "Sandshrew has to be round here."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Yeah. We saw it not long ago."
(Brock says.)
(Mew turns to A.J.)
Mew: "Don't worry, we'll find Sandshrew. It has to be here somewhere."
(While they search for Sandshrew, Team Rocket is in the woods and feeling tired.)
Jessie: "Those clowns will never catch up with us!"
(Jessie says.)
James: "I'm exhausted! You take the bag, now!"
(James says to Jessie.)
(But Jessie says.)
Jessie: "But a real gentleman always carries the bag."
James: "Is that so?! Well, as you know, I'm no gentleman!"
(James angrily says, passing the bag to Jessie.)
[Suddenly...]
(Sandshrew bursts free from the ground and ends up getting its tail bit by Meowth.)
(Sandshrew panics and digs into the ground.)
(Back in A.J's gym, everyone has searched for Sandshrew, but are unable to find it.)
Brock: "We looked all over, but Sandshrew is gone."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Maybe something happened to it."
(Misty says.)
Mew: "But what."
(Mew replies.)
(Then realizes.)
Mew: "What if Sandshrew has been abducted?"
A.J: "What?! When I get my hands on whoever did it!"
(A.J. angrily says.)
Brock: "Calm down, I'm sure they haven't gotten far. We'll see if Sandshrew is outside or anyone suspicious."
(Brock says.)
(Suddenly, the ground bursts open and Sandshrew flies out with Meowth holding its tail with his mouth.)
(Soon, Meowth falls out and Sandshrew lands in A.J.'s arms.)
(A.J. hugs his Pokemon with glee.)
A.J: "Sandshrew."
(All of A.J.'s Pokemon gather and are glad to see Sandshrew is back.)
Misty: "A.J. and all his Pokemon sure are happy that Sandshrew's back."
(Misty says.)
(Brock says.)
Brock: "A.J. is tough, but I can see, he cares deeply for his Pokemon."
Mew: "He really does care about Sandshrew a lot. And Sandshrew feels the same way about him."
(Mew happily says.)
(They see Sandshrew licks A.J.'s cheek as he laughs with a smile on his face.)
(Pikachu is pulling on Meowth's charm as Pikachu watches.)
(Eevee taps Mew's leg.)
Eevee: "Eevee Eevee. (Mew, look what Sandshrew brought!)
Mew: "What is it?"
(Mew asks, turning her head.)
(Seeing the Pokemon, she says in shock.)
Mew: "Meowth!"
Brock: "So, then it must've been Team Rocket that kidnapped Sandshrew!"
(Brock says.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Hey Meowth! Wake up!"
(Eevee then bite on Meowth's tail and wakes him up in a fright.)
(Meowth looks around.)
Meowth: "Hey! Where am I? What's going on here?"
