Meowth is about to unwittingly get everyone in trouble.
With the discovery of a lost Cubchoo, the twerps have stumbled into a feud between two herds of Beartic over a limited food supply. It's up to Meowth, and a mountain ranger named Cliff, to figure out an end to the feud, and to get Cubchoo to its correct herd.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Feud Episode: Two Beartic herds are fighting each other over the forest's food supply.
- Foreshadowing: Jessie and James are seen evading capture in Nimbasa City's Underground.
- Lost in Translation: The onomotapaeia-filled Japanese title "Nyagotiator Nyarth" makes its return.
- Rule of Three: Meowth gets frozen by Beartic three different times in the episode, with Oshawott setting him up for it, on the third time.
- Running Gag: This time, Cliff tries to capture Meowth in a Poké Ball.
