Pokémon The Series: Sun & Moon

Fighting Back The Tears! (21x15)

:

Team Rocket are returning from Jessie's major shopping spree when they spot a cute Frillish which James decides to catch, but his jealous Mareanie drives it away and bursts into tears when James scolds her. Just then, a male Mareanie appears, but Mareanie is not pleased to see it. It seems that even Pokémon can have mysterious pasts: this male was Mareanie's first love after it saved her from a Tentacruel, but apparently cheated on her. It wants Mareanie back, in anger evolves into a Toxapex and attacks James, seriously poisoning him. Thinking she's causing James trouble, Mareanie runs away. Later, while alone on the beach, Mareanie is attacked by another Tentacruel; however, James, who had been searching for her, arrives in time to save her. Toxapex reappears and James chooses to let Mareanie go to be with Toxapex, but Toxapex challenges James to a battle for Mareanie. James is poisoned again, but fights off the poison, and the battle ends in a draw, with each winning the other's respect. Toxapex is about to leave when Tentacruel attacks again, but James drives it off again, winning Toxapex's friendship but making Mareanie jealous again!
