May's Torchic finds a fatigued Skitty and, overwhelmed by its cuteness, May decides to catch it. But first they bring it to an aromatherapy clinic to nurse it back to health. Team Rocket ends up abducting Skitty but Meowth, having fallen in love with it, decides to help Skitty escape and go back to our heroes, not wanting it to have a life of pain like they do. After Team Rocket is sent blasting off, May catches it when Skitty chases her Poké Ball and jumps right in.
