A Cycle of Gang War

The episode starts with Jessie and her friends walking around in a city with James looking at a map.

"Our heroes continue their journey after competing in the Safari Zone!"

"It says here that there should be a huge bridge that will take us to Celadon City which we can easily get back to Saffron City," James says.

"Hey Jessie, are you sure you're ready for Sabrina this time when we get there?" Domino asked.

"Of course!" Jessie responded. "I have a much better team than yesterday and after winning the Soul Badge, I will definitely beat Sabrina this time!"

"There she goes, getting all confident again," Meowth says with an annoyed expression.

"Hey! Can I not get confident here?" Jessie then proceeds to notice something in the distance. "Hey, what's that?" She pointed out.

The gang gets a closer look to see what it is, then it's revealed to be some bridge with great length, which amazes our heroes.

"Wow! That's the biggest bridge I've ever seen!" Meowth says, in amazement.

"What is it?" Domino asked.

James was about to answer Domino's question when he was cut off by a familiar female voice that the gang recognized.

"It's the Cycling Road!" She says.

The gang looks to see who that voice is and it turns out to be the same blonde girl from the forest with the Cubone that they rescued. Annie.

"Say, you three look familiar," Annie says.

Jessie immediately starts blushing upon seeing her. "Annie?!"

The title screen shows.

"A Cycle of Gang War"

"Oh, now I remember! You guys saved my Cubone from those Ruthless Zero jerks! It's nice to see you again, especially you, Jessie." Annie waves with a giggle.

Jessie immediately turns around and starts blushing like crazy. "She noticed me." She says quietly to herself.

"Well, it's nice to meet you again!" Domino says to Annie with a smile.

"How are you lately?" James asked.

"I'm doing great! My little Cubone just evolved into Marowak!" Annie pulls out Marowak's Poké Ball and sends the Pokémon out.

"Marowak!" The Pokémon cries out.

"That's awesome!" James says with a smile.

"Thank you! Yeah, my little Cubone got a little stronger over the days and I'm so proud!" Annie picks up her Marowak and hugs her Pokémon. "Isn't that right, Marowak?"

Marowak cries in joy. "Marowak!"

Jessie turns around to face Annie. "Let's have a one-on-one Pokémon battle then! I would like to see how strong your Cubone has gotten ever since it evolved."

"A Pokémon battle huh? Okay, I'm in!" Annie agreed with the offer.

Jessie starts backing away to form a battlefield between her and Annie. "This is my chance to impress you by beating her in a Pokémon! Then she will definitely want to date me!" She says quietly to herself.

Meanwhile, Domino, James, and Meowth will watch this Pokémon from the sides.

Meowth rolls his eyes. "She's definitely doing this to impress her."

"Obviously," Domino replied by crossing her arms.

"I'll be the referee of this battle!" James declared.

Annie looks at her Marowak. "Okay Marowak, are you ready?"

The Pokémon cheerfully hops into battle. "Marowak!"

"Okay, Marowak is a ground type, so I got the perfect option." Jessie pulls out a Poké Ball. "Squirtle, I choose you!" She sends out Squirtle into battle.

"Squirtle!"

Annie giggles. "Just because you have the advantage, doesn't make it an automatic win."

"Let's see about that! Squirtle, Hydro Pump!" Jessie commanded.

"Squirtle!" Squirtle shoots tons of water from its mouth right at Marowak.

"Marowak, dodge it now!" Annie countered.

"Marowak!" Marowak was able to dodge the upcoming Hydro Pump by quickly moving out of the way.

"Body Slam, let's go!" Annie commanded.

"Squirtle, Withdrawal!" Jessie quickly countered.

Marowak jumps up in the air and aims for Squirtle to drop onto with its full body, but Squirtle quickly hides in its shell as Marowak ends up dropping into Squirtle.

"Marowak!" The Pokémon cries in pain.

Jessie chuckles. "Nice one, Squirtle!"

Squirtle withdraws out of their shell. "Squirtle!"

"Bone Club, Marowak!" Annie commanded.

"Marowak!" Marowak whacks Squirtle with its bone across the face, despite not being that effective, it still causes the Pokémon to flinch.

Jessie's eyes widened. "Oh no, it flinched!"

Annie chuckles. "Body Slam this time!"

Marowak drops its full body onto Squirtle's, as the Pokémon takes damage.

"Hydro Pump, Squirtle!" Jessie commanded.

"Squirtle!" Squirtle opens its mouth and releases a flow of water at Marowak.

"Double Team!" Annie quickly countered.

Marowak quickly makes illusion copies of themselves surrounding Squirtle as the Hydro Pump hits an illusion and it disappears.

Jessie starts worrying until she thinks of an idea. "Squirtle, use Withdraw, and stay in there for a while until I say otherwise!"

"Squirtle!" Squirtle quickly withdraws into its shell and stays there, protected from its shell.

Annie and Marowak are both staring down the shell of Squirtle.

"Marowak, use Thrash!" She commanded.

"Th-Thrash?" Jessie says with a worried expression on her face.

Marowak begins looking angry. "Marowak!" The Pokémon starts rapidly attacking Squirtle's shell, punching and kicking at everything. Marowak picks up the shell of Squirtle, with Squirtle still being inside, and slams it onto the city ground.

"SQUIRTLE!" Jessie called out her Pokémon.

Squirtle comes out of its shell and has completely fainted from the Thrash by Marowak, officially ending the battle.

"Squirtle is unable to battle, the winners are Annie and Marowak!" James declared.

Meowth shakes his head no in disappointment. "So much for impressing her."

"Maybe next time," Domino added.

Annie jumps up in the air to celebrate. "We did it, Marowak! We won!"

"Marowak!" The Pokémon cries in joy and celebrates with its trainer.

Jessie sighs. "Squirtle, return!" She recalls Squirtle back in its Poké Ball. "You did great, you deserve a nice long rest!" She smiles, happily putting the Poké Ball back in her purse.

"That was some nice battling, sis!" A familiar feminine, especially to James, called. Getting the gang's attention.

"Wait… that voice," James says, immediately recognizing it. "Sis? It can't be."

Oakley approaches the gang and Annie. "You did great!"

"Thanks, sis!" Annie says, happily going over and hugging Oakley, her sister.

Jessie and James both immediately jaw dropped in shock. "YOU'RE BOTH SISTERS?!" They both screamed out.

"Wait, you never told them about me?" Oakley questioned her sister.

"And you never told them about me?" Annie questioned her sister back.

"You know, it wouldn't hurt that much for you to mention me to your friends!" Oakley replied to her sister frustrated.

"You're the one to talk! You didn't mention me at all when you hang around with people!" Annie frustratedly replied. "Am I not cool at all for you to be mentioned?"

As the sisters continue to fight, the gang all look at each other with awkward expressions on their faces, except Meowth, who's watching this fight with a grin on his face.

"Should we do something?" Jessie asked.

Domino shakes her head. "I heard that you never get in front of a catfight, especially between sisters."

"Do we have to let them fight?" James asked.

"Let 'em! This is golden!" Meowth says, still grinning.

It shows that the sisters are still arguing and fighting.

"Oh, you think you're so much better than me, Annie!" Oakley argued back.

Annie shakes her head. "No, I don't, you obviously have much better hair than me!"

"Well… I think your clothing is much better than mine!" Oakley countered back.

"You… you really think so?" Annie questioned.

Oakley nods, looking away for a little bit. "Yeah…"

Then after that, Annie and Oakley both hug each other out of love.

"You're like the best sister a girl could ever have!" Annie said in joy.

"And I'm glad I have you as my sister as well!" Oakley replied also in joy.

"I love you!" Both of the sisters said to each other.

The gang continued looking on, shocked at how the two sisters immediately made up after their fight.

"I don't have a sibling… is this normal for siblings to fight and immediately make up?" Jessie questioned.

"I guess so?" James replied, not sure.

Meowth pouts in frustration. "Man! I was so interested in that fight!"

"Let's just continue on the Cycling Road," Domino suggested.

The gang passed by the sisters and started heading to the bridge known as the Cycling Road. It cuts to them arriving at the very entrance of it.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Jessie was about to enter the Cycling Road.

"Hold on there, miss!" A toll booth operator stops Jessie. "Unfortunately, you can't enter the Cycling Road on foot. You have to have a bike with you if you want to cross it."

"Why can't we cross it on foot?" James asked.

"Well, the Cycling Road is very long. Ten miles long to be exact, traveling by foot will take you till dark and that's one long walk." The operator replied.

Two female cyclists pass the gang and face the operator.

"Hey, Norman! We got our bikes and were ready to enter!" One of the cyclists said, revealing the operator's name.

Norman waves at them. "Alright, you two girls have a great time!"

The two cyclists happily peddled onto the Cycling Road.

"If you guys had bikes, I would happily let you three pass," Norman said.

"Now what?" Meowth asked.

"Let's just head to a bike store and see how much they cost," Jessie suggested. "I'm sure there's gotta be some bikes here."

It cuts to the gang looking out a window at a bike shop and seeing the prices on the bikes. They all groan in annoyance.

"That's like five years of my salary to pay for those bikes," Jessie says.

"Maybe I'll be able to afford one when I'm a Gym Leader," Domino added.

"Guys, have you forgotten that we have a rich friend with us!" Meowth reminded them, looking at James.

"MEOWTH!" James yelled in frustration.

Jessie and Domino both perk up and turn their attention to James. "PLEASE BUY THE BIKES FOR US!"

"I-I don't know. These bikes look pretty expensive even for a rich person like me." James admitted. "Especially buying three bikes for each of us."

"Well-"

Jessie immediately sweat drops, knowing what Domino is about to say.

"If a certain someone hadn't destroyed my bike about a month ago, we would've only needed two bikes and not three now wouldn't we?"

Jessie gets into Domino's face, frustrated. "You're still upset about that dumb old bike? You literally haven't mentioned it for a while until now!"

"Yes, I am still upset because bikes are so damn expensive! You still owe me Jessie and that's the end of it!" Domino fired back.

Both James and Meowth are seen eating popcorn and watching the fight.

"A lot of catfights today, huh?" Meowth said to James who nodded in response.

The sisters approached the gang from behind.

"You guys want to cross the Cycling Road?" Annie asked.

Jessie nods sadly in response. "Yeah, but these bicycles are just way too expensive, even for James."

Oakley says something that got the gang's attention. "Me and Annie got two of our very own bikes that we all can share!"

"REALLY?!" The gang said in shock.

It cuts to the Cycling Road, Jessie, with Meowth on top of her pink hat, pedaling a bicycle with Annie sitting right behind her, then James pedaling as well with Oakley and Domino right behind her. They all are having a good time while doing so.

Jessie expresses enjoyment. "This is so much fun!"

"I could pedal this bicycle on this road forever!" James added.

Meowth enjoying the air while on Jessie's hat. "The cold breeze feels so good!"

Domino frowns. "I can't believe I lost to James to rock, paper, scissors of who gets to ride the bike." She grumbles to herself.

"You're welcome by the way!" Annie said.

"Yeah! Don't forget to thank us." Oakley added.

Meanwhile, from the distance two bikers: with leather jackets, one a male with flame-like hair and one a female with green hair, are both spying on the gang and sisters from afar with binoculars.

The flame-like hair chuckles. "Looks like we got new victims heading our way, Tyra."

Tyra grins back. "Let's get the gang, Chopper!"

Chopper nods. "Let's do it!"

It cuts back to the gang and the sisters continue enjoying the moment of riding the bicycles on the Cycling Road.

"From this path, we should be near Celadon City in no time!" Domino says while smiling.

"Why do you want to go to Celadon City so much?" Jessie questioned her.

Domino chuckles awkwardly. "N-no reason."

"That's kinda suspic-"

Domino interrupts James with a frustrated tone. "Just keep pedaling!"

Oakley glares at Domino. "Hey! Don't interrupt him like that or I'll happily kick you off of this bike!"

Domino stays silent and just looks away, frustrated. Meanwhile, Meowth on top of Jessie's hat, notices bikers coming their way.

"Umm… guys." Meowth pointed out.

The gang and sisters look to see the bikers heading towards their way as well.

Jessie gulps. "Maybe they're just passing through?"

Domino begins to shake in fear. "I-I hope so."

"Be ready, guys," Annie commanded them.

As the bikers get closer to the gang and sisters, they form a circle around them, trapping them.

"Where do you think you guys are going?" The leader of the bike gang, known as Chopper, asked.

"Can you guys move out of the way and let us continue riding our bikes, please?" Annie asked.

The bikers all laugh in response and none of them move out of the way like Annie asked.

"Seems like you guys never heard of us! We're the Titular gang. We just don't let Pokémon trainers just go through us without either beating us in a Pokémon battle or handing over everything you losers have in your belongings!" Tyra grins.

James' eyes widened, realizing they were familiar with these people, and began thinking in his mind. "I know these people… but do I have to expose myself in front of Jessie, Meowth, and Domino?"

"You're not getting all of our stuff!" Jessie hops off the bike and pulls out a Poké Ball. "I challenge one of you to a Pokémon battle then!"

"Looks like we got a hero, Tyra!" Chopper says with a chuckle.

"Go easy on her, she's a cutie after all." Tyra chuckles as well and winks at Jessie.

That caused Jessie to blush in embarrassment and rub the back of her head. "Th-thanks." She chuckles awkwardly.

Annie starts glaring at Tyra and grumbles to herself. "Stupid bitch."

"Wait… Chopper, Tyra?!" Oakley recognizes the bikers, hops off of the bike, and confronts them.

"Wait, you know them, Oakley?" Jessie asked.

Chopper immediately recognizes Oakley as well. "Oakley! Long time no see!"

Oakley turns to Jessie. "Well of course I do. I was in this bike gang before. We used to rob stuff, get in fights, and commit other crimes."

"I still can't believe you even decided to join this bike gang, sis," Annie said.

"Hey! I asked you if you wanted to join in on the fun, but you declined my offer!" Oakley responded.

Annie groans in annoyance. "Because I don't want to commit any crimes, I'm no criminal!"

Oakley turns to James. "Hey James, come say hi to your bike gang buddies with me!"

James' heart dropped as soon Oakley mentioned his name. Jessie, Domino, and Meowth immediately start staring at him.

Tyra notices James after Oakley mentions him and runs towards him. "James! I didn't recognize you with those shades! Welcome back!"

James chuckles awkwardly. "H-hey Tyra."

"James, buddy!" Chopper runs up to James and shakes his hand. "Very nice to have you back here with us!"

The other bikers began cheering James' name. "James!" "James!" "James!"

James starts waving at the gang, forcing a smile upon his face. "Yeah, it's nice to see you guys again…"

Domino finally spoke up. "James… you used to be in a bike gang?"

"Wow James, you never told your friends about us?" Chopper said, rhetorically.

Tyra starts explaining. "Well that will be correct, what's your name? James used to be-"

James cuts her off. "Hold on here, Tyra. I should be the one to explain it to them." He takes a big sigh and faces Jessie, Domino, and Meowth. "Yes, I used to be in a bike gang. I didn't tell you guys, because I thought you would think differently about me, but I guess the truth is out now."

It cuts to a flashback of a mansion, as a younger version of James opens the door and starts exiting his mansion and walking away, looking angry.

James' father, Sasaki, arrives right behind at the front door. "Jameson, you get back here right now and finish your schoolwork! Don't you dare walk out on me!"

James immediately turns to his father. "Shut up, father! School is a complete waste of time and is for losers! I'm out of here." He hops onto his motorcycle and drives off.

Sasaki grumbles. "I knew I shouldn't have given him a motorcycle for Christmas."

The flashback cuts to James meeting with Chopper and Tyra.

"So, you want to join us, huh?" Chopper questioned.

James nods in response. "Check out my leather jacket and this badass motorcycle. I would be perfect for the Titulars!"

Tyra turns to Chopper. "He looks badass and has a badass motorcycle."

Chopper nods before turning back to James. "Alright, last test though. To prove you're a qualified member of our gang, you have to beat me in a Pokémon battle!"

James grins. "You're on!"

The flashback is over and it cuts right back to the present time.

James finishes explaining the story. "I defeated Chopper in a Pokémon battle and that's how I became a member of the Titulars."

"So why did you leave?" Jessie asked.

James' eyes widened. "Um… I rather not talk about that.

"Hey umm… James and Oakley. Do you guys mind reuniting with us for one day?" Chopper asked the two. "We kinda got ourselves in a situation and we need all the members that we can get."

Oakley raises her eyebrow in suspicion. "What kind of situation?"

Tyra begins explaining the situation towards the gang and sisters. "We're in a war with another gang. They called themselves 'The Repulsive Raticates' or 'Repulsives' for short. They want to take over the whole Cycling Road for themselves. We can't allow that, so they challenge us for a gang Pokémon battle for the whole Cycling Road. If we win, they will officially leave us alone, but if they win, we have to unfortunately relocate."

"But no one owns the Cycling Road…" Domino says. "The bridge is for everyone."

Chopper rolls his eyes. "Who brought Ms. Goody Two Shoes here?"

Domino growls. "Hey!"

"What do you think, James?" Oakley asked, turning towards him. "Should we reunite with the gang for one day?"

James thinks for a little bit about the suggestion, before nodding. "For one day."

Everyone in the bike gang cheers for James once more for agreeing to the idea.

Chopper turns to Jessie, Annie, and Domino. "How about you three? We could use all the people we can get."

The three, including Meowth all widened their eyes. "No. No. No. We're good!" The three said.

"Jessie, Domino, pretty please?" James begs, using puppy eyes.

Oakley also proceeds to beg. "Come on Annie, I thought you loved your sister?"

The three all groan in annoyance. "Fine."

James smiles. "Thanks, guys!"

Oakley goes over to hug her sister. "Thank you so much!"

Tyra walks over to Jessie. "Thank you so much for helping us, cutie." She giggles and winks at her.

Jessie starts blushing in embarrassment and smiles at Tyra. "N-no problem."

Meowth has an annoyed expression on his face and wants to say something, but stays silent.

Annie growls in anger from jealousy and clutches her fist from hatred until she realizes about her actions. "Why am I getting so worked up on that girl's flirting towards her?" She says quietly to herself.

It cuts to the bike gang, sisters, Jessie, and her friends all waiting for the Repulsives to arrive. Chopper spots some more bikers heading towards their way, but they're wearing hats with a picture of a Raticate wearing a king crown on their heads and having blood on its teeth.

"Heads up guys, Repulsives are heading our way!" Chopper warned.

The Repulsive Raticates arrived where everyone was waiting and stopped their bicycles. One of the Repulsive Raticates gets off of their bike. He had brown hair and was wearing a red headband, unlike the others, assuming that he was the leader of The Repulsive Raticates. The leader approaches them.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Chopper. Is the Titulars finally going to surrender to The Repulsive Raticates?" The leader of the Repulsives grins.

"Not a chance, Howard! We're gonna defend ownership of the Cycling Road!" Chopper turns to the rest of the Titulars. "Right?"

"Right!" The Titulars yelled out.

"Then you leave us no choice." The leader of The Repulsive Raticates, Howard, snaps his fingers.

Three members of The Repulsive Raticates' hop off their bikes and stand next to their leader. Tyra, the two sisters Jessie and Co. all stand next to Chopper.

"Ha! It's seven against four! You're outnumbered!" Chopper grinned.

Howard soon grins back. "Think again!" He snaps his fingers once more.

All of a sudden, smoke starts surrounding the area. Causing everyone on Chopper's side to look around in confusion.

"What's happening here?!" Jessie immediately asked.

Two shadow figures appear in the smoke as a familiar motto to Jessie and Co. starts being said.

"Prepare for trouble!" Cassidy started.

"Make it double!" Butch followed up.

"To infect the world with devastation!"

"To blight all people within every nation!"

"To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Cassidy!"

"and Butch, of course!"

"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night!"

"Surrender to us now you will surely lose the fight!"

As the smoke clears up, Mondo jumps in front of Cassidy and Butch to say his line. "I'm Mondo alright!"

"TEAM ROCKET!" Jessie and Co. yelled out.

"Hey! You're the three guys who helped us find my Cubone! Are you gonna help us again?" Annie asked.

Team Rocket immediately laughed in response to Annie's question.

"Silly girl! That was just a one-time deal!" Cassidy said.

"We decide to team up with The Repulsive Raticates, so we can take away any trainer's Pokémon who dares to step on the Cycling Road, once we beat you losers," Butch explained.

"So I'll give up if I was you!" Mondo suggested.

Howard grins with a nod. "He's right."

"Are we ready to do this?" Chopper asked his allies.

"We took care of Team Rocket before and we will do it then!" Jessie says as she pulls out her Safari Ball.

"I guess it's a Pokémon battle rumble!" Howard soon takes out a Poké Ball as well.

One after one, Chopter, Tyra, the sisters, Jessie's friends, Team Rocket, and the rest of the Repulsive Raticates all pull out a Poké Ball as well. Everyone has a state down, ready to battle each other.

"GO!" Chopper yelled out.

Everyone sprints towards each other as soon the matchups are now set: Jessie versus a Repulsive Raticates member, Domino versus Cassidy, Annie and Oakley versus Mondo and a Repulsive Raticates member, James versus Butch, then Chopper and Tyra versus the leader, Howard, and a Repulsive Raticates member.

Jessie throws her Safari Ball in the air. "Scyther, let's go!" She sends out Scyther into battle.

"Scyther!"

The Repulsive Raticates member that Jessie is facing, sends out Machoke to battle.

"Machoke!"

"Alright Meowth, may I use you for this battle?" Domino asked.

"Let's do this!" Meowth hops onto the battlefield.

"Raticate, squash this Meowth!" Cassidy sends out Raticate to battle.

"Raticate!"

"Marowak, Gloom, let's go!" The two sisters send out their Pokémon into battle.

"Marowak! Gloom!"

"Show them that you're the better Marowak!" Mondo sends out his Marowak into battle.

Mondo's Marowak starts glaring at Annie's Marowak, who glares back.

The second Repulsive Raticates member sends their Pokémon out into battle.

"Kingler!"

"Alright Biff, time to teach you a lesson again! Charmander, let's go!" James sends out to battle against Butch.

"Charmander!"

"THE NAME IS BUTCH!" Butch corrected in an aggressive tone. "Primeape, crush this twerp!" He sends Primeape into battle.

"Primeape!"

"Golem, Cloyster, let's go!" Chopper and Tyra said together as they sent out their Pokémon to battle.

"Golem!" "Cloyster!"

"Hitmonlee, go!" Howard sends Hitmonlee into battle as his partner sends out their Pokémon as well.

"Hitmonlee!" "Rhydon!"

Everyone gets ready to battle each other as they send out their Pokémon. It keeps cutting to battle after battle for each move both opponents do.

"Scyther, use Slash, let's go!"

"Scyther!" The Pokémon repeatedly slashes Machoke with its scythes with Machoke taking damage.

"Machoke, Low Kick that bug Pokémon out of its misery!"

Machoke kicks Scyther low, but the Pokémon looks barely effective by the move.

"Meowth, use Scratch!"

"Time to scratch you up!" Meowth scratches Raticate hard, causing damage to Raticate.

"Super Fang, Raticate. Bite that Meowth hard!"

"Raticate!" Raticate tries to bite Meowth hard, but Meowth manages to move out of the way, avoiding the move.

"Ha! Missed me!" Meowth mocked.

"Marowak, Bone Club!" Annie commanded

"Gloom, Acid on that dumb crab!"

"Marowak, you use Bone Club too!" Mondo also commanded.

"Hit that Gloom with a Vice Grip, Kingler!"

Both of the Marowak collide with their bones and start having a bone-off. Kingler tries to grab Gloom with its claw, but Gloom shoots a black substance of acid right from its mouth, as Kingler takes damage.

"Charmander, use Flamethrower!"

"Char!" Charmander shoots out loads of fire from its mouth right at Primeape, as the Pokémon takes damage.

"Primeape, Karate Chop it!"

Primeape chops Charmander and the Pokémon takes damage as well.

"Golem, tackle your way into a victory!" Chopper commanded

"Cloyster, freeze up the battle with your Ice Beam!" Tyra followed up.

Golem pulls its arms, legs, and head into its shell, the Pokémon rolls at a fast speed toward Hitmonlee. Cloyster fires a beam of ice at Rhydon, with both Pokémon taking damage.

Howard grits his teeth. "Hitmonlee, use your Jump Kick!"

"Rhydon, Horn Drill!"

Hitmonlee jumps up in the air and tries to kick Golem as Rhydon dashes at Cloyster with its horn spinning, but both Pokémon manage to dodge the move.

"Scyther, finish it up with your Quick Attack!" Jessie commanded.

Scyther flies to Machoke and quickly attacks the Pokémon as Machoke faints from battle.

"Raticate, Hyper Fang once more!"

Raticate dashes at Meowth trying to bite it hard for damage.

"Meowth, jump onto Raticate's back!"

Meowth jumps onto Raticate and starts riding the Pokémon, until Meowth leads the Raticate to crash into a wall and quickly jumps out of the way, fainting the Pokémon.

It shows the two Marowak still battling each other with their bones. Each Marowak keeps dodging each other's attacks.

"Kingler, use Crabbhammer!"

"Kingler!" Kingler slams its pincher right onto Gloom, taking major damage from the super-effective move.

"Absorb, Gloom!"

Gloom shoots out two laser beams which hit Kingler and its health gets absorbed by Gloom as Kingler drops to the ground, fainting.

"Charmander, use Slash!" James commanded.

"Double Team, Primeape!" Butch countered

Primeape quickly makes illusions of itself, confusing Charmander, but the Pokémon tries to slash one of them but ends up hitting an illusion. The real Primeape soon punches Charmander as the illusions disappear and Charmander takes damage.

"Alright Golem, use Rock Throw!"

"Cloyster, Spike Cannon!"

Golem punches the ground as rocks start to rise from the ground and the Pokémon starts throwing the rocks towards Hitmonlee, but Hitmonlee manages to dodge by kicking the rocks back at Golem, as Golem takes damage instead. Cloyster closes its shell, then it starts glowing white and proceeds to fire multiple white spikes from the shell at Rhydon, taking damage.

"Hitmonlee, use Double Kick!"

"Rhydon, Earthquake!"

Hitmonlee kicks Cloyster twice and lands each kick as Cloyster takes major damage from the super-effective move. Rhydon shakes the entire battlefield between them. Cloyster and Hitmonlee both take damage from it, but Golem remains fine.

Howard growls at his Repulsive Raticates member. "Way to go, idiot!"

It shows the two Marowak are still battling each other. Mondo's Marowak throws its bone towards Annie's Marowak, but it ducks to dodge it.

"Ha! Your Marowak missed!" Annie taunted.

Mondo growls in anger. "Come on Marowak, you can do it!"

Charmander keeps firing fire from its mouth to Primeape, but Primeape keeps dodging the move by sliding all the time and then proceeds to punch Charmander again with its fist, as Charmander falls onto the ground.

"Your Charmander is too weak, 'lames." Butch laughs at his nickname for James.

James growls. "Come on Charmander, get up!"

Charmander glares at Butch then proceeds to get up and then cries out its name out loud. "CHAAAAAARRRRR-" Then Charmander's body starts glowing white, signaling it's evolving.

Butch and his Pokémon widened their eyes, as James smiled at what was happening.

"Oh shit…" Butch cursed.

Charmander begins to change in form as the white glow slowly fades away. "meleon!"

"Ch-Charmander… you evolved into Charmeleon!" James said in shock.

"Charmeleon!" The Pokémon cries out in joy.

James grins. "Flamethrower!"

Charmeleon opens its mouth and then fires a stream of fire right at Primeape. Primeape gets hit and burnt as it falls and faints.

"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Butch said in disbelief.

Chopper turns to Tyra. "Ready?"

Tyra nods. "Ready!"

"Alright Golem, use Rock Throw once more!"

"Golem!" Golem punches the ground as rocks start to rise from the ground.

"Cloyster, use Ice Beam on those rocks!" Tyra quickly commanded.

"Cloyster shoots a beam of ice at the rocks, freezing them and making them rock ice balls. Golem proceeds to throw the rock ice balls right at Hitmonlee and Rhydon, both each taking major damage and both fall at the same time, completing fainting.

Howard stops the ground in frustration. "NO! NO! NO!"

The two Marowak continue fighting each other, each Pokémon going back and forth and dodging each other's moves, one not giving up at all.

"Skull Bash!" Both Annie and Mondo commanded their Marowak.

Both Marowak start dashing toward each other then both bash their skulls on one another. When Pokémon lands on the ground, they stare down to see which Marowak falls and Mondo's Marowak does, fainting.

"NO, MY MAROWAK!" Mondo screamed out in disbelief, recalling the Pokémon back in its Poké Ball.

Annie runs over and hugs her Marowak. "Way to go Marowak!"

"RUN AWAY!" The Repulsive Raticates and Team Rocket all immediately start sprinting away towards the motorcycles.

"Oh no you don't! Meowth, Thunderbolt!" Jessie commanded.

Meowth's fur starts flowing with electricity as the talking Pokémon shoots out electricity toward them, zapping all of the Repulsive Raticates and Team Rocket, sending them blasting off.

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" "SO ARE THE REPULSIVE RATICATES!" Ding!

It cuts to Chopper and Tyra with the rest of the bike gang on their bicycles, saying goodbye to the gang and sisters.

"Well, we're all going to head our way and continue protecting the Cycling Road. Thank you all for helping us protect it!" Chopper thanked them.

"No problem, Chopper!" James gives him a thumbs-up and a smile.

Tyra pedals towards Jessie with a grin on her face. "You really impressed me, cutie. You should call me sometime and we can meet again." She gives Jessie a wink.

Jessie once more blushes so much and is lost for words. Annie from behind starts growling in anger from jealousy.

"I hate that bitch so much…" Annie says to herself.

Oakley was behind her sister and heard what she said. "Jealous, huh?" She chuckles.

Annie now blushes. "Sh-shut up!"

"See ya guys!" Chopper waves goodbye as he, Tyra, and the rest of the bike gang all ride off with the gang and the sisters waving goodbye as they go.

It cuts to the gang and the sisters pedaling to the end of the Cycling Road, waving goodbye to each other and parting ways too as we see Jessie and friends walking through a trail in the forest.

"What a cycle through of battles if I do say so myself! But it looks like our heroes are getting closer and closer going back to Saffron City!"

Jessie and her friends see Celadon City up ahead. They all smile in delight as they sprint towards the city.

"Find out more soon as the journey continues!"
