Later that day, Jessie decides to quit Team Rocket as well and focus on her contest dreams. She bids James goodbye and tells him to consider going back to his rich parents and fiance. James, however, refuses to give up on his dream of being a success in Team Rocket because… well, because, I guess.

At night, James sneaks up on the heroes and hears a conversation about the "differently-colored Metagross on the Rocky Mountain not that far from here," so he of course runs there immediately, thus missing Dawn's line about how the Metagross is incredibly aggressive and seriously hurts any humans near it.

In the morning, James climbs up the mountain, announcing his plan to... the rocks, I guess. He will capture Metagross and tell Giovanni that it was a triple effort, and faced with success, Jessie and Meowth will come back. Two guys see James go up the mountain and, hours later, happen near Jessie, where they're still talking about the dumbass with the "big red R on the front of his shirt" who's going to get hurt or killed by the Metagross. Upon learning that James is in danger, Jessie goes to Meowth to ask for help. Meowth won't even listen to her, however, so she instead just wishes him luck and runs off.

James finds Metagross easily, and to battle a Metagross, he sends out Mime Jr. Predictably, James gets completely destroyed, but Jessie shows up and helps out by having Seviper use poison tail on a steel pokemon. Just as they start to think Metagross will lose, it uses its supercomputer processing abilities (which, to be fair, actually are a part of its pokedex entry) to calculate the best way to kick their asses.

Metagross is about to kill Jessie and James when we cut to Meowth still in the noodle shop. He thinks about all of the good times he had with Jessie and James just as the two guys who were talking about James earlier come in for some noodles. They're apparently still talking about James, and now also Jessie, whom they say will get messed up bad in the same tone of voice you'd use to say that you got an A- on your history test.

Fortunately, Meowth teleports to the mountain, I guess, and launches a freaking RPG at Metagross and saves the day, so that Metagross is forced to blast them off instead of murdering them brutally. The trio decide to stick together, and that’s that.

A solid episode, actually. There are some inconsistencies, but as I’ve said before, Team Rocket-centric episodes tend to be better than episodes about the heroes.
