Japanese Title: Nuoh and the GS Ball!?
Original Airdate: December 23rd, 1999
US Airdate: December 2nd, 2000
Professor Oak's errand — to deliver the mysterious GS Ball to a Pokéball expert — is interrupted when a Quagsire with a penchant for spherical objects steals the GS ball for use in a nocturnal ritual.
Tropes
- Epic Fail: Team Rocket's attempt to grab the Quagsire with metal claws fails because of their extremely slippery skin.
- Interspecies Romance: Chikorita clearly has a crush on Ash.
- Time for Plan B: When Team Rocket's plan A to catch the Quagsire goes south, they switch to plan B. Then, when that fails, they lament not having a plan C.
