>>13401189>It was a trade. Some punkass kid scammed Jessie into trading her Lickitung for it. Jokes on him, Lickitung is shit.Uh, no. Jessie and James tried to scam trainers with this trading machine but, instead of doing actually trading, Meowth was inside the machine and putting the Pokemon in a bag and replacing them with empty Poke Balls. A battle ensued between Ash and co. with TR. During the ruckus, one of Jessie's Pokemon crashed into her after being hit by an attack and caused her to fall back. To gain her footing she grabbed onto the machine while accidentally placing her Poke Ball containing Lickitung on it. The kid's Ball with Wobbuffet was already there (nobody wanted to trade for it the whole episode) and Jessie accidentally turned on the machine and the trade became a reality. Jessie had no idea it happened until she, James and Meowth got away.
I probably don't have it word-for-word but I can guarantee you this: the kid did not scam TR; it was the other way around but the trade itself was an accident.
