While Jessie, James, and Meowth are celebrating their latest catch, the two Pokémon are working together, combining Pikachu’s strength and Goomy’s slime to escape the cage and flee. When they reunite with Ash and the others, Team Rocket is close behind!
The villains seem to have the upper hand until Goomy steps in front of its new friends and uses Bide, absorbing Team Rocket’s attacks and then blasting them off with their own power. Ash admires Goomy’s unexpected strength, and the little Dragon-type Pokémon happily joins him for the journey to Coumarine City!
