BW045: Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!

Episode Plot
With the Don Battle tournament in Nimbasa Town behind them Ash and co. head out to Nimbasa City (again). They soon encounter Meowth, with no sign of Jessie or James. He reveals that he was fired from Team Rocket and was all alone. They soon come across a seemingly abandoned cottage where a rogue Scrafty lives and has taken Iris' Axew hostage. How can our heroes get Axew back in this hostage situation? By using Ash's Scraggy to go with Meowth so that Scrafty could teach Scraggy a new move: Hi Jump Kick while Ash and his Snivy could get Axew out through the broken window from the cliff unless Scrafty gets distracted at first. And what does this Scrafty want with Axew anyway? He wants him to stay put until Ash and co. could figure it out on what reasons does he have. Unless, if they underestimated Scrafty and he'll be willingly to tell the truth. The truth is that Scrafty has been kicked out of his den by a Mandibuzz, who won't be willingly to tell the reason why she do it. So Ash's Scraggy would help Scrafty since Mandibuzz attacked him first. He battled hard and when Mandibuzz uses peck and it missed Scraggy, her head got completely stuck in the ground. Scraggy finishes off with Hi Jump Kick when he, Meowth, and Scrafty are hanging out. Now Mandibuzz would tell her reason for kicking Scrafty out of its home. It was a fight about the grub that Mandibuzz had a hard time with her friend to get along when she did a bad thing without permission and has nowhere to go. So Ash and co. decided to help Mandibuzz get her mate back together so that Scrafty could get his home back, with a little help from Meowth to back her up. So then on, the two are back together again once more and now our heroes have a new traveling companion: Meowth.
