Meowth (Anime Character)Meowth (Nyarth (ニャース Nyāsu) in the original Japanese) is a fast-talking cat who travels with Jessie and James, members of Team Rocket, in the Pokmon anime, the Pokmon manga series (Electric Tale of Pikachu), and the Ash & Pikachu manga. For Meowth's pokedex entry, see Meowth. Meowth's origin Meowth was raised in Hollywood. One day, he fell in love with another of his species who let him know that she preferred being with humans to being with a street-Pokmon like himself. Thus, to impress her, Meowth learned to walk and talk in order to be as much like a human as possible. After she saw him, she looked down on him even more than before, seeing him as a freak. Shocked, he wandered aimlessly until he finally decided to join Team Rocket. In the English anime, despite being from a Los Angeles Street gang, Meowth ironically has a distinctive, even camp, New York City accent. While this is possibly an American animation convention for a street tough, it does problematise his orgins. Meowth came to Hollywood on the back of a truck after seeing a film called "That Darn Meowth" ( a take on That Darn Cat (1964)) with "Dreams of Ice Cream & Fried Chicken". Meowth is very camp, even going as far as dressing up in outrageous costumes, like Jessie and James. Jessie and James are flamboyant cross dressers, but Meowth once has a stick-on moustache in one episode as part of his diguise. Meowth meets Jessie and James Meowth spent a day serving the organization boss, Giovanni, until he was assigned to be partners with Jessie and James, who at first didn't notice he could walk and talk. The next day Meowth, Jessie, and James had to steal a rare pokmon from a tower across rivers, mountains, and forests as a test. Being a feline, Meowth consumed all the food provisions and avoided getting wet in the river. The tower, however, had many traps, one of which was a pit into which James would've fallen into if he hadn't grabbed on to Meowth's tail. After Jessie, James, and Meowth finally are accepted as members of Team Rocket, they go out to steal Pokmon. Their main goal to steal Ash Ketchum's Pikachu. Sometimes, Meowth talks too much and Jessie and James have to give him a ball to distract him. However, over time this technique becomes ineffective. He now lies often, but wants to do the right thing sometimes (which usually goes against what Jesse and James want), and has fantasies of how Giovanni would react if their plans actually worked correctly and they can give Giovanni a stolen Pokmon he'll actually like. Meowth also is the one who now often operates Team Rocket's complicated Pokmon-stealing machinery. External links
