Pokemon Season 14 - Episode 696 – Meowth’s Scrafty Tactics!

Stopping on their way to Nimbasa City for a lunch break, Axew and Tepig discover Team Rocket's Meowth unconscious in the bushes. The gang revives him back to health. When he wakes up, he discovers that the gang has revived him and he explains that Team Rocket has fired him for botching an operation. They decide to take Meowth along for a while. Continuing their journey, Meowth sweet talks Ash and Iris but Pikachu is still suspicious of him. Shortly after, a Scrafty snatches Axew and runs off. They give chase but Scrafty threatens that if they get closer, bad things will happen to Axew. Meowth offers to negotiate the problem. Scrafty wants a Pokémon to help battle him. They decide to distract Scrafty using Meowth and Scraggy while the gang secretly pull Axew out. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are planning their next plan in Nimbasa City. Meowth und Scraggy distract Scrafty while Ash and Snivy pull Axew out. After it realizes what is happening, Pikachu issues a quick Thunderbolt to knock it out. Scrafty quickly wakes up and reveals it wants to battle and Ash uses Tepig. They battle it out and Tepig knocks it out once again. It then cries explaining that its home was taken by another Pokémon and that it asked for help from other Pokémon but they all refused, which is why Scrafty snatched Axew. It turns out that a Mandibuzz has stolen its lair. Ash uses Scraggy and defeat Mandibuzz, but then it starts to cry because it was kicked out of its nest because it ate all of its friend's food. When they go to apologize, the other Mandibuzz attacks but the first Mandibuzz gives the other Mandibuzz some berries and all is forgiven and restored back to the way it was. The day ends with them continuing on their journey and Iris attempting to capture Meowth. Team Rocket has arrived at Anville Town's train dock where the trains are parked and prepare for their next phase of the plan.
