Japanese Title: Rampage! Otachi and Togepy!!
Original Airdate: February 3rd, 2000
US Airdate: January 27th, 2001
Team Rocket's most recent super vehicle, the Arbotank, is their ticket to world domination—until Togepi and its newfound Sentret buddy climb inside and inadvertently initiate a cross-country joyride that wreaks unstoppable destruction on everything in their path.
Tropes
- Drives Like Crazy: Togepi and Sentret.
- Enemy Mine: Team Rocket explicitly joins forces with their nemeses in trying to stop the Arbo-Tank.
- Humongous Mecha: The Arbo-Tank, which is somehow a lot more formidable at the hands of two baby Pokémon than with Team Rocket.
- Lampshade Hanging: When the Arbo-Tank is about to blow up, Jessie and James are well aware of how this always happens to their Humongous Mechas and try to save it, but to no avail.
- Load-Bearing Hero: Ash sends Charizard in to halt the Arbo-Tank in its tracks.
- Maneki Neko: Team Rocket uses a Meowth version as a piggy bank.
- No Sympathy: Ash and the other aren't really bothered by the fact that Team Rocket invested all their savings in the Arbo-Tank, even refusing to pay them back afterwards when they intend to destroy it.
- Oh, Crap!: Jessie and James' reaction upon hearing that the twerps plan to destroy the Arbo-Tank.
Jessie: You can't be serious! Do have any idea how much that thing cost us?!
James: You're gonna pay if you destroy that tank, missy!
Misty: (Demon Head) NO, WE'RE NOT, AND THE NAME IS
MISTY! James: (Meekly) Oh, sorry.
- They're like this again when they realize the Arbo-Tank is going to explode.
- Pre-Explosion Glow: Happens when the Arbo-Tank blows up (and Jessie and James fail to prevent it from doing so.)
