Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sitting in the corner wearing disguises and hiding behind newspapers. They overheard what the heroes were talking about and become upset. Meowth took personal offense to the horrible actions, being a Pokémon himself. They agreed to follow the "Champion twerps" to help bring the culprits to justice. Jessie meanwhile decided that she should also try to catch something for the boss while there. He might be interested in something as rare as an Alolan Vulpix.
