Chapter 1, Sushi
"How much do we have left?" Meowth asked, his stomch growling.
The old team stood outside of a sushi shop, staring into the front window.
"400 yen," Jessie sighed. "We can't afford anything."
Someone emerged from the entrance. A worker.
They swept their long, silky white hair out of their soft pale face. They noticed Team Rocket.
"Hey," The girl said. Her voice flowed like water. "Why don't you come in and grab a bite to eat?" She grinned at them with pearly white, straight teeth. She looked about 18 or 19, and her face shone. She was so naturally beautiful it almost hurt.
"We..don't have enough." Jessie muttered, a small frown pulling on her face.
Without a word, the girl swept back into the shop.
A few minutes later, she came back out holding three paper bags.
"Here!" The girl grinned again, shovibg the bags out to the team.
They stood silent. A complete stranger bought them food just becasue she felt like it. The smell of fresh sushi made the team's mouths water.
"Who are you?" James asked, taking a bag.
"I'm Crystal." She couldn't stop smiling. Her ocean colored eyes shone. "Well, my shift's over." She said to herself.
Crystal whisked off her apron to reveal a lean, elegant body.
"Thank you for this," Meowth chimed, stuffing food in his mouth.
Crystal giggled. "Don't worry about it!" She blushed gently. "I..never got your names."
"I'm James. These are my partners Jessie and Meowth." James said.
"I can introduce myself, you idiot!" Jessie whacked James on the shoulder.
Crystal laughed. It sounded like jingling bells. "It was nice to meet you!" She looked over her shoulder. "Maybe our paths will cross again, but for now I better be going." She turned and walked off, the setting sun silhouetting her.
Then James saw her white feathered wings stretching out.
