Chapter 1

"Well done Jessie and James, you did something right for once!" Giovanni said patting them on the backs. "You finally caught Ash's Pikachu! This is amazing, in fact I'm going to make you guys millionaires!" Jessie and James looked at each other. "Do you know what this means Jessie?" James asked. "Yes!" Jessie said. "WE HAVE FINALLY BECOME THE RICHEST POKeMON TRAINERS IN THE WORLD!" Jessie hugged James tightly and they both jumped up and down for joy. "But don't expect me to make you employees of the month." Giovanni continued. "What do you mean?" they both asked. "What I'm trying to say is after you get the million from me," he said, "You're fired." Jessie and James gasped. "Why?" Jessie asked. "Because you and James are both useless to Team Rockett. You may have caught Pikachu but it took you 2 years to do it! I mean c'mon Jessie, we all know you and your mother were worthless." "Why are you bringing my mother into this conversation?" Jessie asked. James held her in his arms. He knew if someone brought up the subject of her deceased mother, she gets deeply hurt.

"Listen Jessie," Giovanni said, "You're mother...well...since she refused to leave Team Rockett and threatened to tell the police all of our secrets.... we had to punish her." "What?" Jessie asked, "What are you saying?" Tears filled up her eyes. James held her even closer now. He rocked her too, gently in his arms. "We had to eliminate her. One day when sent her on a mission to find Mew.... some members from Team Rockett blew up some ice causing an avalanche..." "NO! YOU DIDN'T!" Jessie screamed throwing James's arms out of her way. She went up to Giovanni ready to punch his lights out. "Use Scratch Persian!" "Persian.." He slashed her right across the face, throwing her across the room. "Hey you better leave her alone!" James said, "How would you feel if your parents got killed at a young age?" "And how would you feel if I called Security to throw you out the window?" James started at Giovanni. They locked into an evil stare for a moment. James told Giovanni with his eyes, "Don't you dare touch my beloved again with your stupid Pokemon!"


Giovanni smiled evilly and laughed, "I see you still have some spirit in you James...some evil spirit...Jessie has become a stubborn little bitch. Just like her mother..." "Don't you dare insult Jesse, or her mom." James said bravely. "All right but, I have a proposition for you." Giovanni continued, "If you stay here with Team Rockett, I'll give you more money than you'll ever need!" "Never!" James said. "Very well then, just take the million and get out of here and if you tell anyone about Team Rockett....we'll send out Dark Arbok to kill you!" Jessie got up from the floor and leaned against the wall. James turned around and looked at her. Their eyes said, "Lets get out of this dump!" James and Jessie left Team Rockett and everything, forever. (Meowth by the way bolted from Team Rockett in his search for his true love...)


Even though Jessie and James went to their secret spot whenever they could, this time it was different. They had already ridded themselves of their Team Rockett Clothes for good. They just sat there looking at the stars together. Jessie and James looked into each other's eyes. "Wow, I didn't know how beautiful Jessica's eyes were until now...." James thought as he was looking at her eyes. "Too bad she thinks I'm a ugly jerk." "James is so handsome," Jessie thought, "his voice is charming too...too bad he'd never so for some street trash like me..." They kept staring into each other's eyes.

"James," Jessie said. "Yes?" James said still looking into her eyes. "You know ummm...it's going to be different not being in Team Rockett right?" "Of course I do," James said, "In fact my life is dedicated to Team Rockett." "Mine is too." Jessie said, "But...now where do we go from here?" There was silence. James noticed that Jessie's legs were moving in closer to his. Jessie blushed and said, "Ummm...am I too close for you James?" "Not at all Jessie..." James said. They looked at each other's eyes.

"Oh my god," James thought to himself, "I have felt love and affection for Jessica for so long but....I just don't know how to confess my love for her...we've been together for seven years but...it seems like we've been together forever. I could care less about Jesibelle. She's a plain snob! Not only that she judges my every move. She tells me, 'You aren't walking proper. You aren't talking proper.' Heck! I bet she thinks I don't breath proper! If I ever married her, I'd regret it for the rest of my life....Jessica is the only one I can imagine marrying. She's so beautiful. Even though she tortures me a lot and hits me up side the head with a sledge hammer...but I don't care about that...I just love her...she fills in that gap in my life. I would even die for her good god! But of course, Meowth told me she thinks I'm a jerk! But I'm not! I'm as nice as can be."

"He makes my heart beat so quickly," Jessie thought to himself, "For crying out loud, he's the most handsome guy in the entire world! If I hade to choose between a charming blonde man and James I would pick James. James is the light of my life. He was the one who stuck up for me back at the headquarters...I can't stand this anymore I must confess my love to him!"

They still stared into each other eyes. Neither was sure about what the other was thinking during those few minutes. After a while, Jessie broke the ice, "What are you thinking about James?" "Uh...." James said thinking, "Just thinking....you?" "The Same just..." "Thinking." They both said sighing looking at the moon. James knew he had to show his feelings but, what if Jessie thought he was a freak. And besides, a man wasn't supposed to show his feelings so easily. Jessie knew if she gave in she'd probably be called pathetic. "Jessie you know what?" James began, "I have something to confess..." "So do I." Jessie said interrupting. They looked at one another for a moment. "You confess first." Jessie said pointing her finger on his nose. James laughed and blushed. Then he cleared his throat, "Jessica, I don't know what I'm feeling now but all I know is.....you are the best girl ever." Jessica gasped and smiled with joy. This is what she had wanted to hear! "And I want to confess to you...that I..." Jessie moved in closer to James, close enough to kiss. James wanted to grab her face and kiss her like no other man has ever kissed a woman like Jessica. He instead went over to her ear and whispered, "I love you." He brushed his hand through her hair. Her hair felt so soft. They both got up together and James held her face in his hands and said, "Jessica...all it takes is three words...do you love me too?"

Jessie looked into his eyes. She had tears rolling down her face. She knew she had to confess now. "Yes, James I love you." "Really?" James asked. "Definitely." She said putting her hand on his face. James flinched a little afraid Jessie was going to slap him. "Oh and listen James," Jessie began taking her hand away from his face, "I apologize for hurting you all of those other times...with the sledgehammer and all." "And I apologize Giovanni was such a jerk to you. I should have done more than I did at his office." "No James, you were perfect." Jessie said, "You're the best." She hugged him and put her head on his shoulder.

"I guess Meowth was wrong," James thought, "She does really love me. She's so warm this close to me...."


James lifted up Jessie's face and looked at her eyes with more passion now. "Jessie can I ask you something?" James asked looking a Jessie's lips. "Yes?" Jessie said leaning in a little. "Could I, should I..." They were just an inch away from each other's lips now. "kiss you?" "Yes..." she said. They finally embraced in a passionate kiss. James stuck his tongue in her mouth gently, making sure not to annoy her. They made out. Jessie grabbed James closely to her. She could feel James's heart beating. It was beating in a slowly, steady beat. James could feel Jessie's heartbeat too. It was pounding hard. James wanted to make her calm down so he brushed his hand on her shoulder, gently. She calmed down. Now their heartbeats were beating to a steady beat...then James stopped kissing her for a moment. "Jessica," James began. "Yes James?" Jessie said. "I love you." "So do I." She replied putting her head on his shoulder.

It was getting light out. The sun was just beginning to rise. "Wow James, we've been here all night," Jessie said, "We better leave now." "Why, we just got here," James said kissing her cheek. "No seriously James, look." Jessie said pointing to something. Or someone. James then realized it was Ash, Tracey, and Misty! "Oh my goodness, if they see us out of costume..." "We'll be laughed out of this beach!" Jessie finished. James then realized his mistake, "Oh my god, I'm sorry Jessie I was so stupid again..." Jessie kissed his fore head, "It's all right James lets just go." Jessie and James then turned their backs to them, put on sunglasses, and walked away hand in hand.
