Original Airdate: September 15, 2011
US Airdate: December 31, 2011
Meowth is about to execute Team Rocket's master stroke.
Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Meowth have finally reached Nimbasa City. Cilan is eager to sate one of his other interests, subways, by exploring their vast Underground system, and helping investigate reports of a ghost train. But Meowth has other ideas for the twerps.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Evil Laugh: Meowth supplies a damn well creepy one during The Reveal to the twerps.
- Fake Defector: Meowth's journey with the twerps was all a scam to lure their Pokemon into a Team Rocket trap.
- Traitor Shot: Meowth supplies a whole lot of evil grins to the screen as he contemplates his dupe.
