[Ash, Misty, and Nurse Joy have their lines of sight impaired by a Koffing's Smokescreen attack]
What are...Who are they?!
Don't be frightened, little boy.
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
[A teenage girl and boy emerge from the smoke]
To protect the world from devastation.
To unite all people within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jessie!
James.
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now or prepare to fight!
[appearing from the top of the screen] Meowth! That's right!
What are you talking about?
He just doesn't get it, does he?
[off camera] How can I? You don't make any sense.
We're here for the Pokémon.
You're NOT getting Pikachu!
Pikachu? We're not interested in your precious Electric rat. You are.
We seek only rare and valuable Pokémon.
You are wasting your time. This is a center for weak and injured Pokémon.
Well, that may be so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we find a few little Pokémon gems among all the junk.
You're starting to bug me.
Isn't that cute.
The boy's bugged.
Meowth, then, let's squash him.
Koffing, Attack!
Ekans, Go!
[Nurse Joy, Ash and Misty flee the scene with Pikachu on the stretcher as Ekans and Koffing cause destruction]
