(Nightfall) Koga had sent out his Venomoth in case anything went wrong in the dojo. Suddenly, Venomoth sensed something was up and Koga, Ash, Brock, and Misty discovered that Team Rocket had stolen the Pokemon of the dojo trainers. Koga pursued the balloon, with Misty, Brock, and Ash following close behind him. He threw some ninja stars at the balloon, making it lose air. Hey! What's the big idea!? yelled Meowth It was too late however and the balloon went down and the line holding the net in place snapped. Team Rocket crawled out from the remains of their deflated balloon and Jessie sent in Arbok to battle. Venomoth! Get ready for battle! sinabi Koga Use your Sleep Powder! sinabi Koga Arbok! Dodge it and use balutin attack on Venomoth! sinabi Jessie Arbok dodged and used balutin on the light purple mariposa Pokemon. Even when Venomoth was being being squeezed sa pamamagitan ng Arbok, Koga managed to stay calm.Before things were starting to look bad for Venomoth, Venomoth got free from Arbok's coils. Arbok! Use your Poison Sting on Venomoth! sinabi Jessie Venomoth! Use your Sleep Powder! sinabi Koga Before Arbok could use Poison Sting, Venomoth stopped it with Sleep Powder. Come on Arbok! Don't let that mariposa beat you! sinabi Jessie Arbok continued to snooze Come on! Can't you at least use your Tackle attack? How about Bite attack? Please just use any thing!
