'''Neo Team Rocket''' is a term used by some fans to refer to [[Masked Man]]'s resurrection of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. This term is also occasionally used to describe the Team Rocket regrouping featured in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal]], though more often as Team Rocket under the Masked Man. All of Neo Team Rocket wears masks covering half their faces. Sabrina and Lt. Surge worked together to stop Neo Team Rocket, but were not the ones to initially bring it down. However, they only wanted to defeat it so it could become normal Team Rocket again.

==In the games==
Neo Team Rocket appeared in Johto searching for Giovanni ,their long lost leader who hasn't been seen for a year. The player will face them several times through the games. The player first meets them in the act of cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}}. After defeating the Pokémon League, the player will need to battle one more grunt who stole a important part for the power plant in Kanto. After convincing him that Team Rocket has in fact disbanded, he gives the part to the player and disappears.
{{main|Team Rocket#In Johto|Team Rocket}}
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, three years after the defeat of Giovanni at the hands of {{ga|Red}}, a few members of the old Team Rocket attempted to reestablish the organization in [[Johto]], while awaiting the return of [[Giovanni|their leader]], who was apparently away on solo training.


==In The Adventures Manga==
This new Team Rocket started off small, first kidnapping {{p|Slowpoke}} from [[Azalea Town]] and cutting off their [[Slowpoketail|tails]] to sell on the black market but would later expand their operations, setting up a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret hideout]] in [[Mahogany Town]] in an attempt to induce evolution on the {{p|Magikarp}} that live in the [[Lake of Rage]] north of the town, turning them into {{p|Gyarados}}, which are far more profitable than their pre-evolutionary form.
Neo Team Rocket was first seen in ''[[PS093|Sneasel Sneak Attack]]'' where they had stolen {{adv|Gold}}'s backpack thinking it was [[Joey]]'s who had Pokémon vital to [[Professor Elm]]'s research. After they realized their mistake, they threw away the backpack, accidentally releasing [[Polibo]] into a river. They then go directly to Professor Elm's lab where Gold and {{adv|Silver}} were battling. They ended the battle by electrocuting Gold with an {{p|Elekid}}, thus knocking him unconscious, and challenge Silver to a battle. Silver manages to defeat them with his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} and {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}}, and Neo Team Rocket retreats.


They later appear in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'' as Gold and [[Bugsy]] were exploring the [[Ruins of Alph]]. They bind the two and their Pokémon up using {{p|Spinarak}}'s {{m|String Shot}} so that they could steal the sleeping {{p|Unown}}. However, Gold has [[Sunbo]] use {{m|Sunny Day}} which temporarily blinds the Neo Team Rocket members, as well as Bugsy, and awakens all of the Unown who then chase Gold and Bugsy out of the chamber. Neo Team Rocket then trap the pair using Spinarak webs, but the trap backfires as they get stuck in the webs themselves.
In a last-ditch attempt to get in contact with their former leader, Giovanni, the group hijacks the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. Once again defeated by the player, the {{tc|Executive}}s in charge of the operation vow to disband Team Rocket for good.
Neo Team Rocket appeared for a short time in ''[[PS102|Ursaring Major]]'' at the [[Slowpoke Well]], cutting off {{p|Slowpoke}}s' [[Slowpoke Tail|tail]]. They were quickly stopped by Silver who then bound them with ropes and left them there where they are later found by [[Kurt]].


They're later encountered infiltrating the [[Tin Tower]] in ''[[PS110|Piloswine Whine]]'' with [[Sham]] and [[Carl]] leading a group of Neo Team Rocket members in destroying [[Ecruteak City]] in search for information on {{p|Ho-oh}}. As a huge battle wages on, Sham states that they've collected all the information that they can, and Carl orders their forces to retreat.

In the games

Main article: Team Rocket

In the Generation II games and their remakes, three years after the defeat of Giovanni at the hands of Red, a few members of the old Team Rocket attempted to reestablish the organization in Johto, while awaiting the return of their leader, who was apparently away on solo training.

This new Team Rocket started off small, first kidnapping Slowpoke from Azalea Town and cutting off their tails to sell on the black market but would later expand their operations, setting up a secret hideout in Mahogany Town in an attempt to induce evolution on the Magikarp that live in the Lake of Rage north of the town, turning them into Gyarados, which are far more profitable than their pre-evolutionary form.

In a last-ditch attempt to get in contact with their former leader, Giovanni, the group hijacks the Radio Tower in Goldenrod City. Once again defeated by the player, the Executives in charge of the operation vow to disband Team Rocket for good.
