Yay! Meowth-in-Boots!
Anagram posted...
Tyson mentions that his Meowth could evolve, but it chooses not to. Good for it: the only cat with a better evolution than its first form is Glameow, and of course, May's Skitty will never evolve (I checked).
That... had to be a joke, right?
Purrugly is... Purrugly. The name says it all.
GODDAMMIT
I meant to say Delcatty. Purrugly is ass, yes.

"Will Ash have what it takes to go all the way?!"
Score: 5/10
I doubt it.
While training for the competition, Ash bumps into Morrison, the sandwich guy.
I refuse to believe they put any effort into that. I mean, hell, that sandwich is as large as Morrison's entire torso and head, it would kill him to eat that thing, and if you must edit out riceballs, couldn't you at least change them to doughnuts or something actually round?
Upon seeing Ash's pokemon, Morrison introduces his: Gligar, Growlithe, Steelix, Girafarig, Beldum, and Swampert. Team Rocket shows up and does their thing, but then Tyson shows up. Tyson's Meowth insults Meowth ("Meowth" translates to "You eat hairballs," apparently) and blasts them off, but acts really moodily.
The next day, Morrison is going through the preliminaries, and uses Beldum against an Electabuzz. Beldum gets its non-existent ass completely kicked, to such a degree that it evolves into a Metang and defeats its enemy.
Later, everyone goes to watch Tyson, and surprise surprise, his Meowth is fighting a Persian, what are the odds. We learn here that Tyson's Meowth hates Persians a lot. The battle is close, but Meowth defeats it with thunderbolt. After being declared the winner, Tyson's Meowth tries to kill the Persian until Tyson forcibly recalls him.
Later, Tyson explains to the heroes while TR Meowth listens in. Tyson met his Meowth by accident in a forest: it challenged a Persian for leadership of their pack and lost and was outcast, so Tyson took it in. Tyson thinks that until his Meowth proves itself better than any Persian, it will never be satisfied, and TR Meowth emphasizes with it, as he also hates Persians.
Ash defeats a random dude's Hitmonlee for his preliminary, in a scene that completely ruins the tension created by Tyson's story about his Meowth. Jesus Christ, arrange this so that Tyson's story is the last thing in the episode, it's thematically more powerful that way.
