Synopsis
So now the Ash has the egg of an unknown pokémon he is excited to see what it will hatch into. Team Rocket doesn’t care even if it’s only good for breakfast. While Ash and company stay the night at a PokéCenter, Team Rocket breaks in to steal the egg, only for togepi to use Metronome/Teleport on the egg. Undaunted and hungry Team Rocket settles for raiding the kitchen. Meanwhile the egg winds up in a nearby forest and found by a kangaskhan. Officer Jenny is called on to solve the mystery. Through luck and a comedy of errors, the egg is recovered and Team Rocket chalks up another failed theft.
