"So, are you their Meowth?" asked the girl, eyes fixed on the cat pokemon that was standing between the two Team Rocket members that had decided they wanted her eevee.
"I ain't nobody's Meowth but my own!"
The girl smiled. "Well Evelyn, think I should branch out? Not just have you and all?" She had one of every evolution possible of eevee, as well as the eevee that was riding on her shoulder, her first, Evelyn.
"Vee!" the small brown puff-ball agreed, jumping down and running straight for Team Rocket's Meowth.
"Hey, whatcha doin'?" the cat demanded nervously, backing away.
Evelyn had tackled Meowth before the feline got too far though, and sat on the cat happily until a pokeball tapped him on the head and claimed him.
"Hey! You can't just steal Meowth!" Jesse objected when the pokeball stilled and Evelyn took it back to the girl.
"Steal him? But he said so himself, he was his own pokemon, pokemon without trainers are all free for capture," the girl explained. "I just caught a very intelligent wild Meowth. Is it my fault you never thought to actually claim him as yours?"
"He's our team mate!" James objected.
"Evelyn is my team mate too, she's also my pokemon – and now Meowth is also my pokemon. I dare say it will take some work, but I'll train him up good until he's a valuable member of my team as well."
"Hey!"
"Don't worry about Meowth, I promise he's in good hands," the girl said, smiling gently, kindly even.
Jesse growled. "Just who are you anyway?"
"What, you decide to steal my little Evelyn, and you don't even bother to learn my name? You really are kinda foolish," the girl said, giggling behind her hand. "My name is Jenny."
Jesse and James froze. "You mean like Officer Jenny?" they asked.
"I'm a part of the same family," the girl said, smiling. "But I decided to be a trainer rather than an officer, at least for now. They're all a bit keen on my becoming an officer when I grow up though. Well, you two have a nice day now, bye bye!" Jenny said, waving and taking off into the scrub, disappearing from view.
