Ash was enjoying the ragoût Brock made while his Pokemon ate their lunch too. Misty was nearby, fishing. At the same time, another fishing line was being cast in the water. Misty wasn't finding any Pokemon when suddenly her line was starting to tug. She thought she had got a Pokemon to bite at last, but instead the line had got caught onto another fishing line. Misty and the other fishing trainer pulled back and forth, until Misty was dragged forward. To her surprise, when she got to the other side of the lake, she saw that the person fishing in the same lake as Misty was none other than her old friend Marina, passing through Johto. So Marina. What brings toi here? asked Misty I'm here because toi and Ash haven't seen me since the last time we saw each other in the orange Islands. a dit marina Oh yeah. salut Ash! I found an old friend of ours! a dit Misty Who did toi find? asked Ash Marina. I think toi should come say hi. She hasn't seen toi in a while. a dit Misty Who's Marina? asked Brock toi don't know who marina is? a dit Ash, surprised. No. I don't even know what she looks like either. a dit Brock Well then come on. I'll montrer you. a dit Ash Okay. Can't hurt to get to know someone I haven't met before. a dit Brock Ash and Brock made their way over to marina and Misty. So there toi are, Ash. It's been too long since last we met. a dit marina Yeah it has. a dit Ash After Ash talked with Marina, Brock started flirting with her. So toi must be the marina I've been told about. What a lovely name. Just the thought of your name makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. a dit Brock Uh thanks. a dit Marina, speechless at Brock's attempt to win her affections over. Come on. Let's go. a dit Misty, dragging Brock away from marina Real sorry about that. Brock gets that way with every girl he meets. a dit Ash So I can tell. a dit Marina. How about me and toi have a Pokemon battle? asked marina It's a deal. a dit Ash. Great choose your Pokemon and let's get started. a dit marina That's easy. I only need two Pokemon for this battle. I choose Totodile and Pikachu. a dit Ash Then in that case, I choose Tentacruel and Psyduck. a dit marina I think we should make it a 2-on-2 battle. a dit Ash Fine par me. a dit marina Begin! a dit Brock, giving both of them their cue to start the battle. Up on a ledge overlooking the lake, Team Rocket were watching Ash and marina start their battle. Looks as though that girl with the water Pokemon is back. a dit James She most certainly is. And this time she's battling the twerp. Well when they're through with that, we'll find the perfect opportunity to steal their Pokemon and that's where Weezing's Smokescreen will come in handy for allowing us to make our getaway. a dit Jessie Back with marina and Ash, Ash had Totodile dodge Psyduck's attacks. Totodile however didn't account for Psyduck's strength and was quickly defeated par Marina's Psyduck. Pikachu, however was dodging Tentacruel's tentacles quite nicely until one grabbed it and the rest stopped it from escaping its grasp. Pikachu however was able to use Thundershock on Tentacruel, making it lose its grip on Pikachu. Tentacruel is unable to battle. Victory goes to Ash and Pikachu. a dit Brock Suddenly, Weezing's smoke screen filled the air and before everyone knew what was going on, Tentacruel and Psyduck were stolen before marina could stop Team Rocket from taking her Pokemon. Ash's Totodile was also taken along with Marina's Pokemon. Noctowl. Blow the Smokescreen away. a dit Ash, sending out Noctowl par the time the smoke had cleared, Team Rocket was long gone. Oh no. Where are my Pokemon? asked a concerned marina Where's Totodile? asked Ash I don't know what I'll do without my darling precious Pokemon. a dit Marina, crying. Cheer up Marina. Don't let a little thing like that get toi down. a dit Misty We'll get them back for toi Marina. Noctowl will find them for you. a dit Ash So will Crobat. a dit Brock, sending out Crobat to help Noctowl with the chercher and rescue mission. An heure later, Crobat and Noctowl came back, informing their trainers they found Tentacruel, Totodile, and Psyduck. Great! Now I'm one step closer to getting my Pokemon back! a dit marina Same as with my Totodile! a dit Ash Crobat, Noctowl, toi didn't happen to see where Tentacruel and Psyduck were, did you? asked marina Both Pokemon indicated they did know where Tentacruel and Psyduck were and led Marina, Brock, Misty, and Ash to where Team Rocket were. (Back with Team Rocket) We really outdid ourselves this time. We got three water Pokemon for the price of one. a dit Meowth The boss will give us extra pay checks once he sees we brought him three water Pokemon. a dit Jessie I believe this is our cue to make our getaway. a dit James Right. a dit Meowth and Jessie. Suddenly, just as they were halfway up into the air, Ash, Marina, Misty, Brock, Noctowl, and Crobat arrived in time. Give me Pokemon back. a dit marina No way. We worked hard to steal them and we won't allow toi to interefere. a dit Jessie, losing her patience Noctowl! Go up there and pop a hole in their balloon! a dit Ash as Noctowl ripped the fabric in their balloon and the balloon crashed. As usual, Jessie and James refused to admit defeat and sent in Victreebel and Arbok to battle which were both beaten easily par Noctowl and Ash had it rescue Totodile, Tentacruel, and Psyduck before having Pikachu send Team Rocket blasting off. After Team Rocket was dealt with, Tentacruel, Psyduck, and Totodile, all unharmed, we're happy to be reunited with their trainers. (Later that afternoon) If it weren't for your Noctowl and Brock's Crobat, my Pokemon wouldn't of have been rescued in the first place. a dit marina We were just glad they could be of assistance. a dit Brock With that, everyone a dit their final goodbyes to marina before heading ever closer to Olivine City.
