In the original Pokemon anime whenever Ash and his friends fought against Team Rocket he would always issue the same command in order to finish them off and send them into the sky...Pikachu's Thunderbolt attack

But what is the purpose of shocking Team Rocket?

Doesn't that seem a little bit cruel?

Is the Thunderbolt attack supposed to immobilize them?

HOW can getting shocked launch you into the sky?!?

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!! !

...I think I have figured it out!! !

How Team Rocket gets launched in the sky:

First, Ash uses Pikachu's "Thunderbolt" attack

This immobilizes Team Rocket and stops them from running away

Then a bomb or jet-propulsion mechanism is activated which is actually what launches Jessie, James & Meowth into the sky!

What do you guys think?

Is my hypothesis correct?
