On the Hunt
Dr. Wily hires Jessie and James as temps for his organization. As the doctor has a standing rivalry with the forces of Dreamland, he tasks the members of Team Rocket with eliminating a member of the enemy faction, Professor Monkey-for-a-Head. Jessie and James travel to his lair in a hot air balloon, using their Pokemon, Ekans and Koffing, to take down Monkey-for-a-Head's army of killer furniture. Monkey-for-a-Head leaps into a tank and electrocutes the pair. Fortunately, Koffing triggers Monkey-for-a-Head's ejector seat. Monkey-for-a-Head is sent into the air, as Team Rocket cheers in the background.
