Prepare for trouble
Make it double
Prepare for trouble

To unite all people's within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Pokémon song, Double Trouble, are the famous opening lines of the show's antagonist, Team Rocket. Jessie, James, and Meowth introduce themselves as the members of Team Rocket, pledging to cause chaos and capture Pikachu, the show's protagonist's loyal companion. The opening phrase, "Prepare for trouble, make it double," is repeated twice, emphasizing the team's commitment to their mischievous plans.


The song introduces the team's primary aim, which is to become the wealthiest and most powerful group in the Pokémon world, as they boast of becoming the "richest rogues of all time." Team Rocket's vision is portrayed as a grand design where they serve as the leading figures, with Jessie being the queen, James being the king, and Meowth as the joker. Their goal is to dominate the world using mayhem, madness, and rare Pokemon.


The second part of the song highlights the team's ideology, which is to "protect the world from devastation" and "unite all peoples within our nation," but in a twisted way. They denounce the concept of truth and love and express their intention to reach the stars above by capturing Pikachu. The song ends with the famous phrase, "Team Rocket's rockin'," followed by a catchy tune that often remains stuck in the listener's head.

Let's be honest. Jessie, James, and Meowth were excellent at any job that didn't involve stealing Pokemon.

@Shojoboy

Which is why I question why they even bother

@chripto9543

Hello

@jwanie366

Correction: they were excellent at any job that didn't involve trying to steal Ash's Pikachu

@devintyson4374

Why dont they just try again after ash leaves

@ryangallagher9723

@@devintyson4374 Because Pikachu always goes with Ash, you goddamn Vitamin D-deficient rodeo clown.
