Sometimes Meowth wondered why oh why he had to be a talking Pokémon, No he knew it was good for his teammates being able to talk to pokemon so they could steal them. But in other cases it just became a nuisance. As a team like plenty of villains who were competing with them. Would go ahead and try to steal him.

No he knew it made sense I mean he was a rare type of Pokémon. You don't come across Pokémon's very often that can talk.

But it's still got a doing when the few times that me out would be noticed as a talking Pokémon. That he would find himself in the clutches of a villain almost worse than him.

Chairman Rose

Meow could feel the painful injuries that he had endured by the man's Pokémon, by now he was on his knees his paws gripping the cold metal cage.

His teeth grated in pain but he dare not comply.

" Now". The older man's tone was soft but you could see the anger and the promise of more injury if you didn't comply. " I am not going to ask again. Where is your boss Giovanni?".

"I said it before and I will say it again". Meowth snapped scowling. "I will not turn on my Boss you won't get a word from this Meowth's mouth!".

Meowth gulped as he saw all the patience vanish from Chairman Rose's face, fingers raised in the air he snapped his fingers.

"Wrong answer".

Ferrothorn one of Rose's Pokémon appeared prompting Meowth to swallow in fear, he yelped as a clawed hand reached out grabbing his cage. It shook it before Meowth fell to the ground with a soft oof.

The Pokémon shakily pushed himself up teeth gritted in pain.

"Ferrothorn". Rose's tone soft. "Use pin missle".

Meowth closed his eyes waiting for the attack that would surely knock his out cold, but it never came.

"Nidoking! Tackle!".

The Cat Pokemon's eyes widened as Ferrothorn was knocked into sending it flying, Meowth jerked his head towards his hero a look of surprise crossing his features when he saw it wasn't Jessie & and James but..

"Boss?!".

Giovanni walked up towards the two of them his eyes like ice, looking straight ahead at Chairman Rose before he reached the two of them.

His eyes now directed at Meowth.

"Meowth are you alright?".

Meowth forced a tired smile.

"In a matter of speaking". Meowth clenched his eyes tightly shut, features morphing into one of pain. Gripping at his arm.

He disregard to notice the flash of anger that reached the Bosses eyes at his injured member.

"I am in a generous mood Rose, leave now. Or I will not be responsible for my actions".

"No can do Giovanni. That cat will make me rich on the black market". Chairman Rose smirked. "Selling Pokémon is not really my thing. But it will make a pretty penny for my project to resurrect Eternatus".

Meowth's ears drooped body hunched in himself.

Giovanni scowled putting himself in front of Meowth glared hatefully at Chairman Rose.

"Nidoking use horndrill!". He barked.

The Pokemon ran at Ferrothorn prompting the other Pokémon to slam into Nidoking, the two Pokémon ignored their owners as

Giovanni turned to Meowth there was a softness in the males eyes, just slightly that the Cat Pokémon hadn't seen before.

"Boss look out!".

While Giovanni was distracted Chairman Rose had ran at the male to tackle him to the ground, despite the pain Meowth pushed off into the air sending a fury swipe straight at Rose's face.

"Agh! You mangey feline". Grabbing Meowth's tail still in the air, he threw thr cat Pokemon who hit the metal wall. A cry of pain escaping the Pokemon's mouth before crumbling to the ground.

Before he could celebrate his victory attack, a strong hand gripped his shirt, he felt himself being spun around slammed into a wall.

The murder in Giovanni's eyes made Rose gulp.

"You are lucky I have more pressing matters to attend to, otherwise they never would've found the body". Giovanni hissed dipping his face close. "I will only once warn you. Stay away from Meowth or there will be hell to pay".

Dropping the other male Giovanni silently walked over to the cat Pokemon who had passed out, scooping him up gently the Boss turned to his Pokemon.

"Use Hyperbeam on this whole place".

Ignoring the cry's of protest from Chairman Rose, Giovanni walked quietly out of the building. The Nidoking's blasts and Chairman Rose's cry's in his wake.
