Meowth and Colress in “Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!”

Cool. A device that can control Pokémon, is a real piece of work. Got to hand it to you.

Amazing. To think that a Pokémon would be praising my work, I am honoured, thank you.

Sure, but it's your talent that really floats my boat. You wouldn't know it, working for Team Plasma.

Oh?

Let's cut to the chase. This day job doesn't thrill you and you know it. You couldn't care less about Team Plasma's puffed-up plans. You want to do your research. I can see it in your eyes.

Hm. And if I join Team Rocket, all my wishes will come true?

There's a big, "Duh."

It's an interesting proposition. And, speaking of interesting, I find you to be quite interesting, as well.

Who, me?

You. One doesn't come across a talking Meowth every day, you know. In fact, in very much the same way Team Rocket seems to need me, I need you, too.

Want to translate that?

You're an intelligent Pokémon. I could really use your help.

Mm, I'll lay you 2:1 odds that you want to use me as a test subject.

Yes, there would be no better test subject than a true one-of-a-kind Pokémon.

Me - part of your first experiment, as a Team Rocket member? You've got yourself a deal.

My heartfelt thanks. [Shakes hands with Meowth]
