The Team Rocket trio (Jessie, James and Meowth) are given back the Pokémon that they had acquired from their adventures from Giovanni. With all of their Pokémon together, they launch a mission to steal Pikachu once and for all. The trio's plan initially goes well, until the Latias that Ash Ketchum had met earlier, sends Team Rocket blasting off. After failing to steal Pikachu again, the trio blames each other for their failures and go their separate ways. After, Latias suddenly shows Ash and the others a vision of a Latios that is in danger.
