A large organization of characters in the Pokemon anime and games, who make a living out of
staling Pokemon. They are probably the most diverse band of villains in the show, or many others- from the bratty Butch and Cassidy to the sharp, quirky Domino and the bumbling, lovable Jessie and James.
In the anime, the main 'threat' to Ash and his friends are the 'White branch' of the organization,
Jesie(
Musashi), James(Kojirou) and
Meowth(Nyaasu). They are a lot less mean than most TR agents, and their motives for joining TR are rather abnormal. Due to all the awful things that have happened to them and their ability to keep smiling, they are the most complicated and interesting characters in Pokemon; what with
Meowth's rejected love for Meowsie, the tragic death of Jessie's mother and the
arranged marriage James' parents are trying to force him into. They were 17 in
Kanto, but obviously a lot older by now.
To sum the duo up:
Two foolish, antagonist teenagers(?) with a cool motto and a cat Pokemon. If not in love, will be, end of story
