Biography[]
Hearing about the trainer with the strongest Pokémon in the world, the heroes came to Anthony, who showed his Pelipper. Ash challenged Anthony to a battle, by sending Treecko, Taillow and Pikachu. Using Vine Whip and Flamethrower, Pelipper easily defeated Treecko & Taillow. Pikachu managed to collide with Pelipper, with both Pokémon using Thunder. Pikachu nearly defeated it; but with the two Pokémon quite hurt, Anthony & Ash canceled the battle. Team Rocket heard of this and made countermeasures against the mighty Pelipper to capture it, who executed the same moves in its previous battle. Once Team Rocket grabbed it, Pelipper had dropped Magby, Bellsprout & Magnemite, which Anthony put in Pelipper's mouth to gain advantage.
Team Rocket managed to blackmail Anthony and trap him in a room, while they started challenging trainers (by using Pelipper) & take their Pokémon, as an stake for the battle. Hearing about this, the heroes went back to the battlefield, where Ash challenged Team Rocket (in disguise), by using Pikachu. Meowth, who was put inside Pelipper's mouth, sent some Pokémon for Pelipper to launch attacks, though Pikachu dodged the moves. Once Max found out Anthony was captured & Pelipper accidentally used Water Gun & got Meowth & the Poké Balls out of its mouth, Team Rocket tried to flee, but were eventually defeated, by a combination of Water Gun & Thunder. By the episode's end, Anthony realized his mistake, apologized & he agreed to stop his scam. From that point on, he decided to use his Pelipper fairly & not cheat.
