Ash, Brock, and Misty were on their way through a toranja grove near Olivine City, grabbing as much toranja they could until Ruby ran towards them, stick in hand. I got you now! she said running towards Brock, Ash, and Misty Miss! Please! We're not the thieves! said Brock, flirting with Ruby until Misty dragged him away If you three aren't the thieves, then who are? asked Ruby We don't know. That's why we're hoping you can answer that pergunta for us. said Ash Okay. Then why don't you three come with me so you can answer that pergunta for me. said Ruby (With Ruby, Brock, Ash, and Misty after they left) What that girl doesn't know is we were the ones who roubou her grapefruit. said Meowth (Back with Ruby, Brock, Ash, and Misty) So you don't know who roubou your grapefruit? said Ash No. But i did notice a good number of them missing. said Ruby (Back with Jessie, James, and Meowth) Save some of those for us! said James, getting ready to grab some toranja from Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet simply stopped James from taking the toranja from him (Back with Ruby, Misty, Brock, and Ash) So what did the thieves look like? asked Ash There was one guy, one girl, and a talking Meowth. said Ruby It's Team Rocket! said Ash, Brock, and Misty at the said time In a matter of seconds, Misty, Brock, Ash, Ruby, and Ruby's workers ran to where Team Rocket was keeping a whole stash of toranja for themselves. Stop right there! said a few of Ruby's workers Arbok! Go! Deal with them! said Jessie She sent in Arbok and it swung its strong tail towards them, knocking them out of its way. Weezing! Go! said James He sent in Weezing to help with making a getaway Weezing! Use your Smokescreen! said James Weezing filled the air with brown smoke Ash sent in Heracross to battle, which right away was distracted from battling until it slammed into Weezing and tackled Arbok. Weezing! Return! Victreebel! Get in there! said James, swapping out Weezing and sending Victreebel in. Heracross responded por grabbing Victreebel por its long vine and swinging it into Meowth. Victreebel got ready to use Sleep Powder on Heracross and Heracross stopped it with Horn Attack, Victreebel used Vine Whip, which Heracross dodged and used Fury Attack on Victreebel. Wow. That Heracross of his sure doesn't waste any time getting to taking care of that Victreebel. said Ruby, observing the battle Now Heracross! Tackle! said Ash After Heracross defeated Victreebel, mais of Ruby's workers showed up. There they are! Don't let them get away! said the rest of Ruby's workers Team Rocket panicked at the sight of Ruby's workers, but made their getaway in their balloon Heracross! Use your Take Down! said Ash Heracross slammed into their balloon, sending them blasting off We're blasting off again! they said at the same time (Later that afternoon) Goodbye! Thanks for stopping those thieves. said Ruby No problem. said Ash With that, they headed on to Olivine City So that girl must of have been the same one from before when you last saw her in the laranja Islands, right? asked Brock Yeah,but how do you know about her? You weren't there with me and Misty that time. said Ash Yeah. How do you know about her? asked Misty
