* TeamRocketWins: This episode is as close as Rock Bottom ever gets to defeating Felix, and even then, Felix emerges the moral victor. Rock Bottom actually did manage to score a victory over Felix, but it didn't pay off for him in the long run. A Rajah's pet elephant, Penelope, has gotten lost and he offers a 50,000,000$ bakshee reward for her return. Felix finds her and intends her safe return, but Rock Bottom kidnaps her and ties up Felix, and makes it to the Rajah's palace to claim the money reward. He is promptly given it—but it turns out 50,000,000 bakshees is only worth 10 cents in American money. He's so flabbergasted at this, that he angrily throws the meager award aside and goes into shock.

!Tropes:
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: Rock Bottom ''technically'' gains a victory over Felix by kidnapping and returning the Rajah's elephant to him ahead of Felix—but because of exchange rates, the reward money of 50,000,000 bakshees that was offered turns out to be a meager ten cents.
* RidiculousExchangeRates: Rock Bottom delivers Penelope ahead of Felix, but to the formers shock, it turns out the reward money he's offered by her owner is worthless—50,000,000 bakshee is only worth 10 cents in American money.
