Episode 012: Here Comes the Squirtle Squad Continuing along a road, Ash and his pals fall into another pit, but this time it isn't Team Rocket... it's a gang of delinquent Squirtles! Ash tries to capture one of them, but they run off when they hear police sirens. Officer Jenny tells Ash and the others that the gang of Squirtles call themselves the Squirtle Squad, and are Squirtles who have been abandoned by their trainers and spend their days causing mischief all over town. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has a picnic, but find themselves also terrorized by the Squirtle Squad. Meowth convinces the Squirtle Squad that he is Jessie and James's masters and asks them to help capture Pikachu. The Squirtles attack Pikachu and knock him into a lake, where he's hurt by a Goldeen. The Squirtle Squad captures all of them, and bring them into a cave, but Pikachu is badly hurt. Ash begs the Squirtle Squad to let him get some Super Potion for Pikachu and promises to return. They agree and set him free. Ash gets sidetracked, but Officer Jenny helps out. When he gets back, he finds Jessie and James and Meowth betrayed the Squad. Team Rocket blasts them with Blaster Balls, but one of the Squirtles helps Ash send them blasting off. The Blaster Balls ignited a fire in the forest, and the Squirtles team up and use their Water Gun attacks to put out the blaze. The Squirtles are made the towns firemen, except for the tough leader, who decides to join Ash on his quest.
