Team Rocket's motto first appeared in the Pokemon anime in 1997, performed by Jessie, James and Meowth whenever the trio announced themselves before trying to capture Pikachu. The full speech begins with Prepare for trouble and Make it double, and its rhyming, stage-like delivery made it one of the show's most quoted routines. This short version keeps that recognisable core for quick edits. Clips of the motto circulate on soundboards and in fan videos because the entrance works instantly, even out of context, as a cue for a mischievous team arrival.
