Pokemon World Adventures [Volume 2]

After Wobbuffet's death and the capture of Jessie and James, Meowth seeks help from Ash and the others. At first they are hesitant but Ash confirms that Meowth doesn't normally ask for help and believes him. It's then that Ash, Pikachu, Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, Killua and Meowth get badly injured thanks to Dabi from the League Of Villains. This then convinces Gon and Killua to try and get a placement in the work study program alongside their friends from Class 1A. Meanwhile, Ash, Pikachu, Leorio, Kurapika agree that they will go with Meowth to rescue Jessie and James once he fully recovers.
