Poketto monsutâ - Season 9 Episode 31

Ash and friends make a stop in Sable City, where a one-day Pokémon battle tournament is about to take place! Ash decides he wants to enter, but the tournament turns out to be an evil scheme to steal the competitors' Poké Balls, cooked up by Team Rocket…not Jessie and James this time, but another pair of villains, Butch and Cassidy! Meanwhile, Jessie and James have decided to part ways after a squabble, and when they show up for the phony tournament, Jessie teams up with Butch and James with Cassidy. These unusual pairings are quite successful at stealing Poké Balls, but thanks to the efforts of our heroes, the villains' plot is thwarted and all the Poké Balls are returned to their rightful owners. With a tearful speech, Meowth convinces his friends Jessie and James that they should make up and be a team again, and they relent…only to be back to their old tricks in no time!
