The girls attending class at the Celadon Gym certainly had their eyes opened.
The outrageously handsome Gary Oak had barely walked through the door before exposing Ash's cross-dressing disguise.
Then he picked three Team Rocket scumbags out of the crowd...
He couldn't help it. Between the red and blue hair and Meowth's strange accent, Gary simply couldn't convince himself to pretend he didn't recognize them...
The Team Rocket Trio had just performed their miraculous one-second costume change when Gary's Golduck slapped them into the sky.

Gary raised an eyebrow. "Do you still want to challenge the Gym~?"
Beside Gary, Erika secretly snapped pictures
