The episode establishes that there is no such as thing as bad Pokemon, merely ones that obey bad trainers. Despite the fact that later episodes progressively introduce evil or at least morally dubious Pokemon antagonists who act on their own free will (eg. Mewtwo, the evil Malamar) and unlike Ekans and Koffing, most later Team Rocket Pokemon seem to have no problem causing mischief without Jessie and James around.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Meowth can't fight well due to being a HeartbrokenBadass]]
When Ash's Sceptile got rejected by a female, it found itself unable to perform attacks properly, only regaining it's former strength when it was brought out of it's HeroicBSOD. Meowth was rejected by Meowsie (and several other females afterwards) and it is made clear he never quite got over it. Whenever it seems his old flame is lit again, or he even just gets ''some'' boost in self esteem, he suddenly becomes unstoppable, but of course, being doomed to failure and contempt from others most of the time, it never lasts. This of course, makes Meowth's jaded character a lot more tragic, as well as giving heartbreaking new meaning to his claims learning to walk and talk cost him the ability to learn Pay Day.

[[WMG: Meowth is gaining experience, but at a much slower rate than others]]
Since Diamond and Pearl, Meowth has been picking up very rare but astonishing [[DarkhorseVictory Darkhorse Victories]] every era, and it seems to have mild effect on his usual competence. In D/P he was still pretty useless otherwise. In ''Best Wishes'' he was usually poor in battle but could dodge and pick himself up from attacks pretty well (as Jessie notes "Could've been worse"). In ''XY'' most of his odd participations actually show some small degree of battle skill, even if he still loses, eg. slashing up Fenekin's Hidden Attack and injuring Pikachu with Fury Swipes for the first time. It generally takes more than the usual Thundershock to finally take him out as well. As eras pass, Meowth may slowly get better and on more even ground with the heroes, until his randomly achieved top form becomes his usual.

On several occasions Meowth, despite his limited move set, has shown perfect capability in battle (he curb stomps several top Pokemon at once in "For The Love of Meowth" and "What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals" while on a high). Several conversations with the other team members also imply his inability to learn Pay Day is bullshit, and he could easily learn it and his species' other moves such as Night Slash if he put any effort into training. Tying into the above claim of {{Psychoactive Powers}}, Meowth has all the potential to battle as well as a standard Meowth and maybe more, just due to usually being on the losing side, he very seldom feels the motivation or confidence to do so, using his claims of a power nerf from learning to be human as an excuse.

[[WMG: How did Tobias get a Darkrai?]]
He had a Primeape with Vital Spirit. is probably the best Pokemon to go against Darkrai. Due to Vital Spirit, Darkrai cannot put it to sleep, shutting down its biggest strategy; the very thing that makes Darkrai OP. Not only does Primeape have the clear type advantage, but outside of Psychic(which it can only learn by TM and thus not naturally), Darkrai can't use anything super-effective on Primeape. Despite being a legendary, Darkrai was almost entirely taken out by Ash's Sceptile, which shows unlike [[PhysicalGod most legendaries]] it's strength comes from its nightmare powers. If Tobias has a Vital Spirit Primeape, all he'd need to do is stock up on Pokeballs, find where Darkrai lives, and go nuts. Latios was just a matter of testing his new Darkrai out.

It belongs to Ash's grandfather. According to manual sources, Ash's father is a great trainer, who is following the footsteps of his father. Ash's grandfather is one of the greatest trainers in the world, and actually managed to capture the legendary Ho-oh. Out of respect, the elder Ketchum allows Ho-oh to be free range(kind of like Charizard is to Ash). When learning that his grandson was about to have a journey, he had Ho-oh travel to Kanto and check up on him. Ho-oh follows Ash because he's its master's grandson, and is testing to see if he's ready to fight his grandfather. Depending on when Ho-oh was caught, the Rainbow Pokemon did the same with Mr Ketchum.

By that logic, you could say that he got together with Misty at the end of Johto, and it just wasn't shown in those final scenes, giving them a long distance relationship (though any communication they've had is cut out because of being unnecessary to the plot) because Ash still wants to continue his journey as well, whilst Misty needs to look after the Cerulean Gym.
