Meowth runs into yet another roadblock in:


#65: Annoyance by Video Ads

Meowth had arrived at Team Magma's hideout a few hours later.

Team Magma and the Untitled Goose exit the car and enter the hideout via security gate, using a special pass-code to grant them access. The large metallic gates open, allowing them inside, which soon close shortly after.

Meowth then emerges from behind the car and approaches the gate as well.

"Now, how to get in? I bet I could crack the code in no time!" Meowth says out loud as he looks up at TV monitor and accompanying keypad next to the gate.

After pressing a ton of buttons, he manages to turn the screen on.

"Alright, time to work my magic and hack into their system, Team Rocket style!" Meowth says with confidence, cracking his paws and preparing to type at the keyboard some more.

Before he could get far, the screen switches over to a video promo advertisement for Team Magma.

"What?! I don't want to see this! Get this ad out of here!" Meowth scoffs as he searches for a button to skip the ad.

To his frustration, there was no such button.

He had to sit and watch the entire cheesy ad for a good three minutes tops.

After it had finished, Meowth attempted to get into the system once again.

"It's about time! Now I can finally…" Meowth says, only to be blocked out by yet another ad that followed immediately after.

This ad, advertised Pokemon Sword and Shield with another un-skippable ad.

Meowth was now banging his head on the screen in annoyance that he was being denied entry due to not having any sort of ad-blocking app to circumvent this delay.

This continuous string of obstructive ads would continue to happen for quite some time.


You know…Meowth could just refresh the video to remove the ads… wonder if he'll figure it out at some point?
Please review and stay tuned to the next chapter to see if he can rescue his pals!
