BW049: Crisis From the Underground Up!

Episode Plot

Ash and co. finally arrive at Nimbasa City, where Ash hopes to get his fourth badge. Cilan is happy as a kid in a candy store to be on a subway, and as they were riding, they suddenly stop and saw a mysterious ghost train passing through. They meet Ingo and Emmet, the Subway Bosses of the Battle Subway who are investigating the cause of this disturbance. Plus, Meowth's plan had come to fruition, but what is it? He was lying the whole time and he's still on Team Rocket's side. The thing is he was told to go out of Nimbasa City to find Ash and co. when they're on the way to the same destination as well and join them until the right moment to strike to steal their Pokemons as well as the others belongings in the Pokemon Center! Not only that Dr. Zager would soon cause every electricity around the city to go haywire and some would go completely offline, even the Driftveil Drawbridge and communication lines in the center would soon go down as well. That is the only way to cause a distraction until Team Rocket's train is loaded with Poke Balls (including Pikachu and Axew in cages) and transporting it to their boss:Giovanni!
