Summary Continuing on their way through the Sinnoh region, our Heroes come across a budding trainer named Minnie and her Scizor. She explains that she's looking for a new Gym called the Powerzone Gym, which is reputed to take any losing Pokémon under their wing and 'train' them to become stronger. The Powerzone Gym is, in truth, a phony Gym run by Team Rocket to steal their losing opponents' Pokémon when they leave them at the Gym to be 'trained'. So when our Heroes show up looking to challenge the Gym, the thought of stealing Ash's Pikachu and Minnie's Scizor is too tempting to pass up. Jessie, disguised as Princess Powerzone, is battling with a Croagunk that had crossed paths with Meowth earlier, and after some bad calls by referee James, emerges victorious against both Minnie and Ash. They blow their cover as they attempt to escape with both Pikachu, Scizor and a host of stolen Pokeballs, but after a few choice attacks Team Rocket is defeated and the 2 Pokémon and all the Pokeballs are returned. Surprisingly, Croagunk remains behind as Team Rocket blasts off, and makes it known to Brock that it wants to join their journey. Minnie and Scizor go back to the fake Gym to return the stolen Pokeballs to their rightful owners, and without so much as one attack, Croagunk becomes Brock's newest Pokémon!
