70: Bad to the Bone

Professor Oak is all too keen to get Ash off to the Pokémon League. Perhaps the fact that he stayed behind with Mrs. Ketchem when he left had something to do with it.
They hit the road to Indigo Plateau to find a guy named Otoshi who challenges Ash. If Otoshi wins, he may take all of Ash's badges. Ash defeats him, to discover he didn't have any badges. They were stolen, by Team Rocket.
Team Rocket have pulled off a successful scam for once, but Jesse betrays them and runs off with the badges on her own. So much for Rocketshipping.
James and Meowth discover the badges they just stole to be gone. Otoshi's Marowak gets frustrated, and walks away. Otoshi despairs, until they spot Team Rocket's balloon. James and Meowth take off, James spots Jesse and sees through her disguise, saying he recognizes her sense of style because the two of them share such similar tastes (accompanied by images of them dressed in some of their best ensembles), but are stopped by Ash and searched.
When Meowth and James are forced to show their worldly possesions we discover that Meowth's most treasured items include a couple of cookies, a slingshot, tins of pokémon chow, a pussy willow, a brush, some pencils and wax to keep his charm nice and shiney.
And James' stuff includes broken sunglasses, binoculars, a notebook, a rose, pogs, bottlecaps, tabs off soda cans, a squeeky hammer, MAKEUP!! consisting of nail polish, lipstick and mascara, and photos of himself because he likes to look at himself in his spare time.
Hmmm.
The tabs off the soda cans holds a special significance to us. It may or may not be a well known fact that young girls, about 15 to 17 (apparently James' age, although we don't believe he's a day below 20) will often attempt to remove the tab from a soda can completely. If they fail, they can give it to a boy and get a kiss, but if they succeed they give it to a boy and get sex. James has many.
Interesting, no?
It is to us.
James and Meowth are off to get Jessie. They find her, forgive her, and get back together. Otoshi battles them for the badges back, but almost loses until Marowak shows up to stop them. Marowak came back after remembering some of the better times with Otoshi.
They get the badges back, and Otoshi and Ash go their separate ways towards the Pokémon League.
