Chapter 1=Saved Kitty

Meowth P.O.V

I was in a pokemon center with Pikachu asleep next to me, holding my hand. I blushed at this watching the electric mouse.

Last thing I remembered was my last beating and being thrown out. I sighed. It was also the middle of winter so I really preferred that

Jessie waited to do that but...knew she would hurt me anyways.

I smiled watching Pikachu sleep. Truthfully he was like a rival to me as well as a friend and...well...a lot more. I was

inlove with him but was beaten far worse for loving him. I had also started training and battleing and my fury swipes and other moves

got better. I smiled wanting to get strong...for Pikachu at least.

"He stayed with you all night. Knew the 2 of you were close Meowth." the twerp said, entering the room. "Now you have a

high fever, and a lot of bruises indicating abuse and Nurse Joy has told me this wasn't your first time at a pokemon center either being this

beat up. Want to tell me anything?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter." I said. "Thanks for helping me and..." He sighed. "I caught you. I need to know what's wrong medically. Figured

you hated being in a poke-ball from when you journeyed with us in Unova so I didn't keep you in yours." Smart kid. He was right. Those balls felt

claustrophobic and I feared having a trainer due to how Giovanni and almost every Team Rocket member treats me. James was the only

nice person to me.

"Will keep your ball for ." he said. I nodded. "and no stealing!" Figured the twerp would make that rule and I should

of known he was now my trainer. I was now feeling calm around him and felt less annoyed. So..."I'll give it a shot...being your

pokemon and all." I replied.

"You'll be rooming with me at pokemon centers and when we go camping." Pikachu yauned watching me through sleepy eyes. I turned

bright red at this. "Room with you?!" I cried out.

Pikachu P.O.V

I smiled, chuckleing. He was so adorable when embarrassed and flustered. I leaned over and whispered in his ear "I'm fine with it Meowth."

"I'll be checking you for anything stolen for a few days but that's about it." Ash replied. I smiled gently.

"I know your boss forced you to steal. Ash isn't like that and cares about pokemon. You know this from watching yourself

and from encouraging a few of his pokemon to trust him. " I said remembering the few times some of his pokemon were afraid and then out of the blue they weren't

I knew someone did something.

"I used to be homeless before and a street theif surviving on that though. It was how the boss found me. He kidnapped me off the street."

Meowth responded. "James had been the only careing Team Rocket member who didn't hit me." I smiled having knowticed how nice

James always was to pokemon. It was part of why Ash loved him.

-Later-

Normal P.O.V

Ash was brushing Meowth and fed him and Pikachu. Then Ash felt around for stolen anything. Meowth froze when Ash got

to his waist terrified. "You ok?" Ash asked. "P...p...please don't hurt me!Stop!" cried Meowth.

"Meowth I promise I will never ever hurt you." Ash said gently.
