Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Team Rocket can’t believe their luck when an excident prone Blissey employed in a Pokémon Center willingly gives them the center’s entire food supply as it so happens Jessie and it were friends way back in nursing school but to this day still retained it's clumsiness and when the graduation exam was in progress Jessie selflessly aided Blissly at the cost of her own future and as to show her gratitude Blissey then broke her golden egg-shaped trinket worn around her neck in two which Jessie continues to carry from that day on. As they abscond with the grub, however, an collective pang of conscience tells them to return their ill-gotten booty. However, they are ashamed lest this act of decency ruin their carefully cultivated reputation as troublemakers. However they are caught red-handed but only put up a token of resistance and Team Rocket blastsoff with a smile and wishes Blissey well.
