Team Rocket has been living in the lap of lazy luxury thanks to Bewear...but a wake-up call from the Boss gets them back on track, and they head to the beach in search of Pokémon.

On a field trip to the same beach, Ash runs into Team Rocket, and a wild Mareanie who has developed a fondness for James joins the battle. It pummels Pikachu and poisons Rowlet, and Team Rocket is on the brink of celebrating a long-awaited victory against the Twerp—until Bewear barges in and carries them off! Undeterred, the villains declare Bewear’s lair as their new secret base and settle in to a berry feast!
