    The episode starts with Meowth gazing at a beautiful blue glass vase. He was entranced by its color, like a clear, shimmering ocean under the bright summer sun. He was just thinking, "If only we could have such beautiful things."

    "We should make shopping easy," Meowth said, "Why don't we pick out what we want, come back later and just take it?" He looked at Jessie and James, eyes wide with excitement.

    Jessie and James, however, were engrossed in their own world. They picked up various glass objects, their faces reflecting in the shimmering surfaces. They were so engrossed in the beauty of the glass, they completely ignored Meowth.

    Anger bubbled up within Meowth as he saw them ignoring him. It was so unlike them. His small body trembled with fury. "Will you two listen to me?!" he yelled.

    His yell startled Jessie and James. In their surprise, they dropped the glass items they were holding. The glass lay shattered on the floor, sparkling like stars scattered across the night sky.

    They watched the broken glass in shock. Meowth regretted his outburst. He didn't mean for things to go this far. Now they were faced with the consequences of his sudden outburst.

    The store manager walked in just then. He took in the scene of broken glass scattered across the floor, and Team Rocket standing there in shock. A sigh escaped his lips.

    "You break it, you buy it." He said with a stern face, pointing to the mess. "This is how we do business here. If you can't pay, then you'll have to work it off."

    Jessie, James, and Meowth had no choice. They started working to pay off the damage caused to the store. They cleaned up the broken glass, restocked the shelves and even helped with customers.

    The work was hard and tiring. Sweat trickled down their faces as they worked diligently. Despite their usual lazy attitudes, they were serious about making amends for the broken glass.

    The sun had set, and the store was finally clean and tidy. Team Rocket, exhausted from the day's work, thanked the store manager and headed back to their hideout.

    Once at their hideout, Jessie and James turned to Meowth. "We need to deal with your anger issues, Meowth," Jessie said. James nodded in agreement, crossing his arms.

    Meowth twitched his whiskers in annoyance. "What are you two talking about?" he asked in a gruff voice. "I don't have any anger issues." But inside, he felt a pang of guilt.

    The next day, Jessie and James took Meowth to the Pokémon Anger Management Center. It was a large building with tall windows, surrounded by lush green trees. Inside, the air felt calm and serene.

    There, they met with a Pokémon psychologist. She was a kind woman who listened patiently as Jessie and James explained what had happened. She then turned to Meowth with a soft smile.

    "We'll help you manage your anger, Meowth," she said gently, "if you're willing to try." Meowth, feeling nervous but determined, gave a small nod of acceptance.

    The following weeks were challenging for Meowth. He attended therapy sessions, participated in calming exercises, and started learning about his emotions. It was a tough process, but he was trying his best.

    Jessie and James were by his side throughout the whole process. They participated in sessions with him, learned alongside him, and supported him. Their bond as a team was stronger than ever.

    After several weeks, Meowth began to see a change. He was more in control of his emotions, less likely to snap in anger. He was learning to express his feelings in healthier ways.

    His efforts were recognized by the Pokémon psychologist. She praised him for his progress and encouraged him to continue the practices he had learned. Meowth felt a sense of accomplishment.

    Team Rocket continued their life, with Meowth being more considerate and less prone to anger. They understood the importance of communication and started listening to each other more.

    One day, they found themselves at the same store again. They were cautious this time, careful not to break anything. They listened to Meowth's plans without ignoring him, showing their newfound respect.

    The store manager even noticed the change. He was surprised to see them working together so harmoniously. He gave them a nod of approval, which made Meowth swell with pride.

    As they left the store, Jessie turned to Meowth. "You've really changed, Meowth," she said. James added, "We're proud of you." Meowth beamed at his friends, feeling truly happy.

    Learning to control his anger wasn't easy for Meowth, but he managed. He was now a changed Pokémon, more understanding and patient. His story showed how anyone could change with a little effort and support.
