You want the 3rd Pokéball....
You grab the third Pokéball and throw it. "Metapod. Metapod." The other Pokéballs disappear. It's a Metapod! Team Rocket cracks up. Meowth jumps forward and kicks the Metapod. The Metapod disappears. You slowly move backward as Team Rocket advances on you. Looks like you're doomed.
Oh well, you died. But you can always
try again.
