Last time, Mew catches a Cyndaquil and the group continue on to Azalea Town. However, the heatwave is not making it easy for them as they walk down the trail to the next town. Even the Pokemon are burning hot.

Brock groans, "Ugh, look at those plants, every single one of them is shriveled up from the heat."

"So am I," Mew says

Then Tomo says, "I need water or I'm gonna shrivel up too..."

Then Misty has an idea, "Hey, I know. I'll use Staryu." and call out Staryu.

Then Staryu comes out.

"Staryu, cool us off with your Water Gun," Misty says.

Staryu then fires its Water Gun into the sky like a sprinkler, showering the group.

"This feels great!" Misty says.

"That's a good idea," Mew says, and gets out her Pokeball.

She then calls out Squirtle and Wartortle

"Hi guys, we need help cooling off, can you use your Water Gun?" Mew asks.

The Pokemon nod in reply and shoot Water Gun in the air, making showers and cooling everyone down from the heat.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is boiling from the heatwave too.

"I'd give my right arm for a drink right now," Jessie says, tired.

James feels the same, "Yes, I'd give your left arm as well."

They soon hear something and turn to see Meowth guzzling down a canteen of water.

James cries out with glee, "Ah! I forgot we had water!"

"Meowth, we'll take our share now!" Jessie says.

"Okay," Meowth says.

When they try to get a drink, it's revealed to be empty.

Jessie cries out in shock, "What?! The water's all gone! Meowth drank the canteen dry!"

"Hey! We were all supposed to get our fair share!" James angrily says.

But Meowth says, "I know, but my share was on the bottom."

Jessie and James glare at Meowth angrily, making the Cat Pokemon nervous.

Then Meowth notices something, "Look! Dere's a well right dere!"

"I'm not stupid enough to fall for that, you—!" Jessie angrily says.

But James spots it as well, "Wait, Jessie. It may be true."

"What?" Jessie asks, and turns to see what it is.

What they see is a pink pump with a Slowpoke statue on the bottom. Eagerly, Team Rocket rushes towards it.

Meowth jumps up, "See? Just leave things to me."

"Oh, Meowth! You discovered it, you should do the honors!" Jessie happily says.

Then James says, "Yes, I agree."

"Since you found the well, you should have the honor of pumping the water first," Jessie says.

Meowth then grabs the pump handle, "Dat's real sportin of yous two. Den I'll just pump away!"

"And we'll drink just away!" Jessie and James happily say.

"Dat's right!" Meowth says and begins to pump the water. However, something's off, "Hey, wait a second."

"Just keep pumping!" Jessie and James say happily.
