To their misfortune, Jessie and James only realize the cause when they pull out the supports and fall into their own trap, leaving a frustrated Meowth to run off for a rope to pull them out. Jessie, James and Meowth dig a pitfall trap for Ash and his friends to fall into, but the heroes walk right over it without incident because the Rockets forgot to remove the supports. Ash tells his friends that he wants them to travel together forever ("My Best Friends"). In the forest, Brock chases cute girls and Misty laments that Ash is ignoring her in favor of his Pokémon. Giovanni praises his mechanical Pokémon and gloats that as soon as it learns every Pokémon's attack, nothing will stand in his way ("It Will All Be Mine (Reprise)"). Among the moves it learns is Self Destruct, which it is not ordered to return as doing so would destroy it. Soon, several trainers face off against MechaMew2, which copies the attack of its challengers and uses it against them to defeat them. They promise to do as he says after he promises them a good pay. He orders Team Rocket to capture Ash's Pikachu, because it has Thundershock and Thunder Attack, two techniques that MechaMew2 doesn't have. The mechanical monster-based on the powerful Mewtwo he had late in the anime's first season and Pokémon: The First Movie-will soon be unstoppable ("It Will All Be Mine"). When they arrive, he gloats about his ultimate creation, MechaMew2. Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth get a call from Giovanni ordering them to go to his headquarters. Together with Brock, Ash and Misty head off for the Gym using a map downloaded from the Diamond Badge website. Ash promises to make it up to her somehow, but adds that Pokémon are his friends too ("You and Me and Pokémon"). As he prepares for the journey, Misty chastises him for not taking her to the movies for her birthday as promised three weeks ago. Ash declines to join his mother Delia, and Professor Oak to a lecture on sleep disorders among Snorlax, because he has decided to accept the mysterious Gym Leader's challenge. The story begins with a shadowed Giovanni releasing a commercial challenging all Pokémon Trainers to win the one-of-a-kind Diamond Badge by defeating him and his Pokémon in a battle.
