* HiddenDepths: Pikachu shows concern for Meowth, when attacked by the giant Rhydon, pulling him to safety. Earlier in the anime he was disappointed that Meowth survived the shipwreck of the St. Anne. Meowth, for his part, thanks Pikachu for saving him. Also, despite his Main/BigEater tendencies, Pikachu is willing to split an apple with Meowth, even though Meowth had tried to steal it for himself earlier. Meowth then starts to talk about the two of them could have been great teammates, if they had met under different circumstances. By the time he gets there, Pikachu has fallen asleep.
