The battle at Rainbow Gym ultimately ended inconclusively due to Team Rocket's interference, as everyone could see. Ash's Bulbasaur alone could have wiped out Erika's entire team, not to mention the Poison-type-countering Kirlia waiting in reserve.
"This is your Rainbow Badge."
"Thank you."
After receiving Erika's Rainbow Badge, Ash took out his bank card and said, 'The loss of that extract bottle was partly my responsibility. Consider it purchased by me.'
"'No need. It's unnecessary.'"
"No, 'Erjiu Chu' is a matter of principle. Then, we should probably go pick up Brock soon."
Thinking of Brock who was still happily playing with Machoke and Machamp in the prison, Ash felt it was about time to pick him up. Otherwise, what if he gets worn out?
"Alright, then I won't hold back. If you need any flowers, remember to let me know."
"Rest assured, absolutely. By the way, if you have time, could you go check out a place where a girl named Melanie is helping me cultivate a special material? If possible, I'd appreciate your help planting some more too."
"Alright, goodbye then, Ash."
"See you. Call me if anything comes up."
"Goodbye, Miss Erika."
"Farewell, Misty."
As she watched Ash and Misty depart, Erika smiled. Meanwhile, the Gloom beside her tilted its head and called out in confusion, 'Gloom! Gloom!'
"Don't worry, Royal Stinky Flower. It's not time yet, but there will always be..."
"Stinky, stinky!"
"He probably forgot already."
"Kielia's memories returned to her childhood, when she first encountered Gloom. The Gloom helped chase away a persistent Muk, but that Muk ended up meeting a boy."
"Wow, this stench..."
"Muk, are you hungry?"
"Boss, he seems really hungry, you know."
"Then give him a piece of cake to eat. But personally, I'd suggest you go to another city. Rainbow City has too much perfume—it's not suitable for you."
Grimer stared blankly at the cake Ash handed him—it was the first time someone had given him food.
"Emperor."
"Don't be shy, eat up... But next time, don't go around scaring people. I'll tell you a place where you can find a decent living environment. It's considered the Alliance's designated industrial zone."
"Emperor!&
Finally, under Ash's introduction, Muk left carrying the cake. Ash then turned to Erika and said, 'This place really isn't suitable for Muk. Farewell.'
When Ash and Misty arrived at the police station to post bail for Brock, he finally freed himself from the loving bear hugs of the Machoke and Machamp.
"Brock, do you have any thoughts about what happened today?"
"Officer hottie""
Misty pressed a hand to her head helplessly and said, 'As expected, he hasn't reflected on his actions at all...'
Brock turned to Officer Jenny and said, 'Miss Jenny, I'm sorry for the trouble. Please allow this humble one to treat you to a meal.'
"'Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!'"
"Pikachu! Go, use Thunderbolt!"
"Ah, ahhh! Stop him!"
Amidst the powerful electric shock, Brock was left charred. Ash expressionlessly explained to Misty: 'If we hadn't done this, Officer Jenny would've charged Brock with police assault.'
"Jade's good Ash! Misty saw nothing wrong with Ash's behavior. Officer Jenny also pretended not to notice Pikachu electrocuting Brock as she smiled at Ash."
She said, 'Ash, you'll be heading to the Yo-Yo 0.3 Yo-Oh District later. If possible, please help my cousin. Recently, there have been missing children cases there, and the Pokémon have been listless too.' 'Missing children and listless Pokémon? I understand. I'll help.'
"'Thanks a lot.'"
With that, Officer Jenny kissed Ash on the cheek.
"'Hmm. No problem. But if possible, we might need you Officer Jenny to make some preparations here.'"
"'Preparation 3'"
"Exactly, after all::? I sense there's a greater conspiracy at play here._I?!"
