Ep 9. The Underground Round Up
Ash and his friends continue their journey through the Johto region and stumble upon a town that seems to have been plagued by mysterious disappearances. After some investigating, they discover that a group of Team Rocket members are using a series of underground tunnels to steal Pokémon from the town.
Determined to put a stop to Team Rocket's underground operation, Ash, Misty, and Brock team up with the local Pokémon trainers to devise a plan. They manage to infiltrate the tunnels, where they encounter various traps and obstacles set up by Team Rocket to prevent intruders from discovering their underground hideout.
As they make their way deeper into the tunnels, they finally reach the heart of Team Rocket's operation and confront the evil organization's leader. A battle ensues, and it looks like even Pikachu might not be able to take down the powerful enemy.
However, the group remains determined and ultimately comes out on top, defeating Team Rocket and freeing the stolen Pokémon. In the aftermath of the battle, the town celebrates its newfound freedom and thanks Ash, Misty, and Brock for their help.
As the gang continues their journey, they reflect on their victories and challenges, knowing that there will always be more adventures ahead.
