Chapter 1: The Big Menace
"The waves can reach 30 metres and the winds could blow at the speed of 200 km/per hour. We advise caution near coastal areas. This is the information for now! We really don't know the real reason for this upcoming disaster so stay tunned..." the tiny old radio blared as the Meowth's ears stayed near it.
"Guys, This is bad! They are talking 'bout a disaster coming to Kanto and Johto. Don't ya think we should find a safer place to stay?" his feline's scents could preview that what was coming was really dangerous.
"Chill out! We're fine here. This is the most safe place in the forest!" Jessie replied opening her dark-pink sleeping bed.
"How do you know that Jess?" James's concern grew higher every minute "I think Meowth is right! Don't you think we should find a better shelter?"
Jessie didn't say anything and simply layed down, trying to catch sleep even with the whisper of wind resounding above her head.
"I think that's a no" James sighed and sat on the grassy floor. He was sure that he wouldn't be able to close his eyes and sleep well. One more restless night.
But Meowth wasn't liking the idea "I can't stay here! I still have love for my life" Meowth frowned his eyes "If Jessie don't want ta go, it's her problem! I'm out!" he picked his stuff and sped off of the big forest, disappearing through the clearing.
"Meowth!" James lifted up, wanting to follow his pokemon friend but a tired voice caught his attention.
"Forget about him! He's always complaining!"
"But he's right! We should go by now! The weather is getting worse!" he felt tiny drops of rain splashing in his palid face.
Jessie sighed heavily. Her partner was always complaining with anything even with the slighest things but she couldn't deny that he was right for a change, so was the furball.
"Fine! Let's go!"
James felt a wave of relief. He couldn't let Meowth go alone but he couldn't let Jessie behind as well, knowing that a huge disaster was ready to strike at anytime soon.
They packed everything and headed to the nearest city or town, following a different path from Meowth's, praying that someone would feel bad for them and could let them get a safe and warm place to stay.
--R--
Somewhere in a small town, a group of heroes known by all of us, were running through the slippery concrete streets. Ash and his companions, Misty and Brock, were all soaked from the heavy rain.
"We're finnally here!" Ash said, picking his eletric rat and putting him under his clothes "We just need to find the Pokemon Center!"
"Yeah! Nurse Joy is waiting for me!" the older one of the group, Brock, also the Pewter City gym leader, said with big hearts in his eyes.
"Quit that, Brock!" Misty grabbed Brock's ear "There are more important things to do now!"
They walked a few more minutes and found what they were looking for: a big building with a red and white pattern, resembeling a pokeball. There was as well a big 'P' in the center that meant they were in right place to get help not only for their pokemon but for themselves too.
The sliding doors opened "Welcome to the Pokemon Center!" a pink-haired nurse greeted at the sight of the tree trainers "Are your pokemon hurt or do you need protection from the storm?" she asked.
"We need shelter!" they all replied. Brock came closer to her and picked the nurse by the hand "I also need shelter for my heart! Why don't you take it?" he acted romanticly.
Misty grabbed Brock's ear again "I have already told you to stop!" Ash and Pikachu sighed.
Misty's Togepi thrilled happily.
After Brock's heart meltdown, Nurse Joy handed the room's keys to the kids "You just need to go upstairs! I'll serve you the dinner at 8 o'clock and there's a heater, three beds and a balcony in your room" she explained "Enjoy the stay!"
The twerp trio exchanged happy glances and headed to the big stairs, chatting about everything that they had face through their journey.
Ash opened the door and stared at the room in amesement: It was really big and comforting and there was also little beds for their pokemon.
"It's a good place to stay!" Misty spoke "I just need to close the shutters because of the storm."
Ash and Brock nooded and put their heavy backpacks in their beds, searching for something more warm to wear.
The Pokemon center was situated in a high place, where the ocean's waves couldn't reach so that was the most safe place for the twerps to relax and think about the next few days. But what about our villains?
--R--
Jessie and James were still walking in the nowhere. They didn't have a map to guide them to the correct road and, for getting better, James's complainings were dealing with Jessie's nerves.
"My feet hurt!"
"It's very cold!"
"I'm hungry!"
"Where Meowth could be?"
"I wish we got the ballo--"
"BE QUIET! YOU'RE KILLING ME WITH YOUR ANNOYING VOICE!" Jessie furiously grabbed James by the collar of his uniform and slapped him HARD, leaving the man in complete shock.
James kept quiet and his hurt look was unmistakable. He decided to sped off a bit and let Jessie alone for a while to refresh her mind.
Jessie stared guilty at him for a while but erased that though from her mind and assumed her leader's role again "We've got to go faster!"
He didn't want to speak and she could see him rubbing his red and burning cheek. Jessie stopped in front of him "Aren't you hearing me?!"
"Sorry Jess, I though you didn't want me to speak" he replied weakly, looking at the muddy grass.
Jessie's guilt took control of her body and she came closer to his partner, ready for ask for forgiveness, but before she could reach him, a huge wave coming from behind James, hit them with a immense force.
"LOOK OUT!" she screamed, pointing at water behind her partner.
They didn't noticed that the forest's area that they were in, was the most near from the sea and before James started to drown, he grabbed a tree branch for his dear life, to get him to back to safety.
"Jessie?...JESSIE!" he screamed when he saw that she was being pushed by the water. He tried to figure out a way to save her, until he spotted a big stick.
"Jess, grab this stick and hold on!" he lifted the stick to her and she grabbed it successfully "I'm going to get you to safety!"
Jessie coughed some water and nooded "Hurry up, please!"
His hand was getting numb from holding his body to the tree but he needed to save his partner. He still felt really hurt from what she did to him but that didn't mean this was a reason to not save her.
He pulled Jessie with his free arm and felt like he was going to fall at any minute. Jessie kept her mind clear focusing to get back to the shore.
"James, I'm so sorry for what I did!" she said, lifting some weight from her conscience.
"Forget about that!" James kept pulling her "I just need to get you back here!"
Jessie smiled at his bravery. He smiled back.
The waves's strengh was getting higher at any second and James couldn't hold anymore. The next wave passed and with it, a big and brown tentacle from an unknown creature, hit Jessie and broke the stick that hold the two partners. James lost his balance from the sudden movement and he fell into the water's rage.
In the other hand, Jessie sent flying through the black and cloudy sky as she saw his only real human friend drowning and drifting to the certain death.
"JAMES, NOOOOO! I'M BLASTING OFF ALONE!"

--R--
Meowth was aching everywhere. He didn't want to go on without his friends but he didn't want to die as well. His backpack was a little to heavy so he needed to discard some of his belongings becaused of the tiredness that was consuming his body.
"I hope Jessie and James are fine!" he muttered to himself.
His eyes could be tired but they were still enough functional to spot his salvation: the Pokemon Center.
From his surroundings, he could see that he was in a small village with trees everywhere and nice houses distributed a little everywhere too.
"That was just what I was looking for!" he ran to the glass doors of the center and, as he entered, he saw nurse Joy and Chansey working around the reception table.
He shyly came closer "Hey...hello!"
Joy moved her head to see who was greeting her "Welcome to the Pokemon Cent-- YOU TALK?!" she inquired when she noticed that was a pokemon speaking right in front of her "Wait a sec...You're that wanted pokemon who works with Team Rocket! Where are your friends? Ready to attack and steal my hospital?" she accused.
Meowth shook his head "Ya don't understand! I left my friends behind and I'm just looking for somewhere ta get safe"
Nurse Joy understood the cat's comotion and looked at her Chansey "Do you think he's telling the truth?" Chansey read Meowth's emotions and nooded.
Nurse Joy picked Meowth carefully and spoke "You can stay but you need a bath and some rest!" she advised. The scratch cat pokemon smiled instantly and let the nurse took care of him.
Chansey and Joy disappeared through the emergency's white doors, carying the little cat pokemon with them.
--R--
The village could be small but there was many facilities working for the well-being of the population and trainers who stopped there during their travels. Like it have a Pokemon Center, it had a Police Station as well, where the famous crime stopper, officer Jenny worked.
She was scribbling in a old sheet of paper, looking at the radio near her.
"Officer, our rescue teams had been searching around Kanto and Johto for survivors and bodies. From now, we're working in rescue missions and we have a report!" the man spoke on the radio.
"What is it?" Jenny picked the blue pen from her desk, ready to write any vital information.
"We were patrolling near the village and he found a body in the forest nearby. The victim is alive but unconscious and needs medical help immedeatly!" he replied.
Officer Jenny gulped "Could you describe the victim, please?" now she was ready to write the information she needed to save a life.
"It's a female person around twenties, she has long magenta hair and from what we have found out recently, she wears a Team Rocket's uniform"
Jenny's eyes wided. Could it be the girl from the trio they have been trying to arrest for so long? She glanced the brown board behind her, full of photos of criminals from simple thiefs to assassins and she picked a wanted poster from Jessie and James. Could it really be her?
"Officer, are you still there?" the man asked. Jenny's thoughs vanished and she replied trembeling "Alright! Get an ambulance and take her to our Pokemon Center. Maybe Nurse Joy can help!"
"Right! Copy that!" the sound coming from the radio subsided. Officer Jenny sighed "We've got a lot of work to do!"
She picked her growlithe's pokeball and ran to her police's car, speeding to the nearest Pokemon Center.
--R--
The boredom in the twerp's room was unbearable. Ash couldn't battle and his friends were sighing heavily.
"The storm is messing up everything!" Misty said, petting Togepi.
"I wish I could battle!" Ash folded his arms with annoyance.
Brock watched his two friends in desperation. He wanted to see them happy and not like this.
"Hey guys, how about go see what nurse Joy is doing?" his cheeks turned a bit red.
"For what...trying to seduce her again?" Misty glared Brock. He sweatdropped "I think we could help her with her tasks instead of doing nothing!"
Ash nooded and petted Pikachu "It's actually a good idea! Don't you think pal?"
"Pika!" the electric rat nooded in confirmation.
Misty sighed and picked her little egg-pokemon "Ok, Let's go!"
They exited the room together and reached the first floor but Joy wasn't nowhere in sight.
"She might be working on injured pokemon" Misty explained to her friends.
Brock said nothing and pointed at Nurse Joy, who was opening the big doors with...a Meowth in her lap?
"Do you guys need something?" she asked rubbing Meowth's silky fur.
They shook their heads "We're bored and just wanted to do something to pass the time!" Ash explained and watched carefully the pokemon nurse Joy was holding.
Misty came closer and tried to touch Meowth "What a cutie! Is he alright?"
Meowth's eyes wided and he replied "Twoips! What are ya doing here?!" he pointed an accusing finger.
The twerps cringed "That's what we should ask!" Brock replied "I bet it's some evil scheme again!"
Before they could argue more, Joy cut in and sat Meowth on a couch "We just needed shelter like you. Besides, his human friends aren't here!" she told to the three trainers.
"Where are they?" Ash asked as Pikachu jumped to his shoulder "Pika?"
"Jessie wanted to stay in the forest but I refused. Meanwhile, James stayed with her and I don't know anything about them for now. " Meowth eyed the cold floor "I feel bad for letting them behind with a storm like that" he half sighed with a sad expression.
Ash patted Meowth's head "They're fine for sure!" he gave thumps up to him.
"Thanks!" he accepted the trainer's comforting act. They all smiled.
Suddenly, the center's doors opened with a loud bang and two womens and one man, all dressed with orange heavy jackets, showed up carrying a stretcher behind them.
"Nurse Joy, we have orders from officer Jenny to drive a human pacient we found on the forest to this center! Is this right for you?" the brunette man asked in a hurry.
Nurse Joy nooded "I'll do what I can to help!" Chansey came to her side and nooded too.
"Right! Officer Jenny is coming soon. We have to go trying to find more survivors!" as the man finished his sentence, he and his companions got out of the center.
Joy approached the stretcher and gasped. Ash, Misty, Brock and Meowth noticed her sudden loss of words and came closer.
"It's her!" she said covering her mouth with her hands.
"JESSIE?!" the twerps gasped too. Meowth burst into tears.
"It's all my fault!" Meowth jumped into Brock and hugged him tight, his eyes wattering like a cascade.
Jessie opened her eyes slowly and tried to move but felt pain washing through her body and something attached to her. She could see she was in some closed place and she was secured with belts around her chest and legs. A small white blanket covered her, providing some heat.
"Meowth...?" she caught a sight of a cream-colored fur with the corner of her eye.
He looked at her sobbing "It's me, Jess! I'm right here!" he carefully sat on a free spot of the stretcher "I shouldn't have left you and James behind!"
Jessie looked at the ceiling as she heard Meowth talking about James "He's dead..."
They all looked worriedly at her.
"JAMES IS DEAD!" she burst into tears and tried to move but collapsed with her head in a soft pillow. Nurse Joy grabbed her shoulder.
"Don't make any violent or sudden moves! We're going to take care of you" Nurse Joy said.
Jessie stopped crying and nooded.
Meowth was still in a verge of tears "James died! It's all my fault!" Brock picked him again.
"You aren't helping! Jessie is hurt. She don't need to worry about these things now!" he said. Meowth continued crying but this time, pressed his head into Brock's orange shirt, soaking it completely.
The nurse picked the stretcher and passed through the automatic doors "I'll be back! I need to check her injuries!"
The twerps nooded at her.
Meowth kept crying like a crazy "He died...he died...HE CAN'T DIEEE!"
"Meowth, we understand you're feeling down!" Ash said "But you don't need to freak out!"
"What if one of your only friends died...How would you feel?" he asked, cleaning his tired eyes.
A silence filled the room. He was right. He couldn't deal with the death of one of his friends. It was too much to bear. Ash's head lowered in embarresement "You're right. I think I can't imagine how I would feel."
Misty and Brock glanced at each other "Let's focus on Jessie now! She might need attention" Misty said scratching Meowth's head. He smiled sadly "Ok.."
As they were heading to the waiting room, footsteps ecoed through the corridor and officer Jenny stepped in.
"Is Jessie already here?" she asked at the sight of the trainers. She noticed that Meowth was there too.
"Yes. She's in the emergency department" Ash replied. Pikachu nooded in agreement.
"I need to talk with her after the treatment but I see Meowth is here too!" she watched as Meowth raised his ears, his fur getting bristly.
He tried to hid himself at the sight of the cop but Jenny grabbed him quickly "You don't need to fear! I'm not here to arrest you or your friend."
"So what do you want?" Meowth asked a little bit suspicious about the situation.
"I wanted to talk about your other friend. I think he's called James. Our reports have been updated and he's in the list of missing people. About that I'm very sorry! We will work hard to find him" she explained the situation to the kids and Meowth.
Meowth looked at her grateful for the first time in his life. He could feel that she was really there to help him and Jessie find at the least the missing part of their team...or their lives.
"Thank you so much!"
Officer Jenny smiled "No problem. It's our duty to preserve life and save the most affected ones. Right now, I don't mind if you're criminals or not."
The twerps felt happy for Meowth even if he was almost like a mortal enemy for them.
"There's only one thing I can't guarante: I don't know if we are going to find him with life or not." she finished off sadly.
Meowth avoided back the tears and nooded.
The emergency's doors opened again. Joy and Chansey were standing in the hallway with happy faces.
"How's Jessie?" Meowth inquired almost instantly.
"She's fine for someone who faced a storm. Her body is a little sore and she had some broken ribs but, fortunately, the worst is a broken arm. I tried to restrain her but she wanted you at her side. You don't mind coming?" she asked.
"No. I'll go help her" Meowth followed Nurse Joy through the corridor full of doors "Just need to see Jess. You guys stay?" he asked to the twerps.
"We stay here with officer Jenny!" Ash said. Misty and Brock waved goodbye to the cat and waited for his for-soon arrival.
--R--
They reached to a door at the end of the corridor marked with the number '362' and Joy carefully pulled the knob of the door.
Meowth stood behind her and catched a glimpse at the plain white room. It didn't have any other patients, just only Jessie. It was also equiped with professional medical machines and had a big window with view to the outside next to the only bed in the room.
He climbed to his partner's bed and Joy came closer to her too with some supplies in her hands.
"How are you feeling, Jess?" Meowth inquired first.
"I'm still a little bit weak and..." she sighed heavily "...I miss James" she fought back tears.
"It's hard to lost a friend but you should not worry about it now. You need to relax and let me help you" nurse Joy stepped in.
Meowth looked at Jessie making baby-doll's eyes "C'mon, you gotta think in yar health too" he touched her hand and smiled "I promise if you let Joy help ya, we'll go find James...together."
Jessie couldn't resist the cat's charm. She deep down could see how psychological hurt he was because of James as well.
"Ok..." she simply replied.
Meowth hugged her left arm in relief but Jessie shook him aside in pain "That hurts! Can't you see it's broken?" she flared grabbing her arm and gritting her teeths.
"I'm sorry!" Meowth moved back.
Nurse Joy picked a chair and put it at the side of her bed "Stop moving it and let me see!" she ordered polietly.
She picked it carefully and started making some pressure "Does it hurts when I--"
"AAAAAH! STOP!" Jessie screamed at the nurse's touch.
"That's a yes. Chansey, bring me everything we need in the ortopedic room, please!" she called the egg-shaped pokemon.
"Chansey-chan!" Chansey obeyed.
Meowth sat at the edge of the bed quietly.
Chansey came back several minutes later with all the things they needed to heal Jessie. Meowth decided to do something to help "Jess, do ya need something?"
"What a gentleman! Bring me some water please!" she pleaded. Nurse Joy pointed at a heavy jug of water in the other side of the room.
As Meowth ran to the table to get a cup of water, Joy and Chansey started to work on Jessie.
"I'm going to place a cast in your arm to heal it" she explained to her patient.
"How long will I have to hang with it like that?" Jessie asked.
"It depends, some people usually spend four or five weeks with it" the pink haired nurse replied "But you're going to survive!" she joked smiling.
Jessie smiled too "I guess so"
Meowth arrived with a cup full of water and handed it to Jessie "Here's ya water!"
"Thanks!" Jessie put the cup into her lips and drank all the water in seconds.
"If ya need more just ask" Meowth said sitting back on the bed. His partner appreciated his generosity.
Joy set a white cast in Jessie's left arm and pulled it at the level of her chest with a light pink sling "Just don't make to much effort with that arm, ok?" she advised. Jessie nooded and collapsed with her head in the comfy pillow of the bed.
Meowth sat in her sheet-covered legs purring, letting Jessie streak his fur in a way of comfort him.
Then there was a knock on the door "Coming!" Joy said setting a box of pain killers next to Jessie's bed "Can you open the door, Chansey? I'm going to give some medicine to our pacient"
"Chan!" the pink pokemon opened the door like Joy asked, revealing the three trainers and the cerulean-haired cop.
"Jenn! What brings you here?" the nurse inquired and shook hands with the cop like long-time friends.
"I need to talk with Jessie about what happened. Just to get some information" she replied and sat in the chair next to Jessie.
The magenta-haired girl shrived at the sudden closeness to the police "You don't need to hide! I know this is some trick to arrest me!" she accused.
"Meowth though that too but I just want to talk about James!" she replied with a big smile.
Jessie stood quiet at the mention of her partner. She felt the stinging tears coming back to her eyes and something more but...what it was? Guilt? Regret? She knew how bad she usually treated him. Beating him and screaming at him but now, when he was possibly dead and lost, she knew how important he was to her life.
"You don't need to talk if you don't want" Jenny spoke, noticing her lack of words "I know you're in shock."
Jessie shook her head "I can...tell you" she knew it would be hard but it could help her to find James more quickly.
Meowth kept still, watching his companion's commotion. He could sense her feelings of remorse and misery: the emptiness in her heart that only James could fill again.
"Meowth left us because of the storm. He advised us but my stubbordness didn't hear it and James stood at my side." she started and cleared her throat "We decided to walk a bit to seek for shelter and..." she couldn't deal with what she did next. Could she?
"Go on! You can do it" Misty encouraged, her eyes sparkling with kindness.
Jessie sighed and continued "He was getting on my nerves. We were in the storm without a safe place to stay and my insticts took the best of me: I slapped him...hard" she added with little tears spilling from her eyes.
Meowth gasped but, even knowing that Jessie made a mistake, he came closer and gave her a comforting hug "Jess, It's ok! Don't cry!" He pleaded grasping her hospital's gown.
Jessie cleaned her eyes "I'm sorry!" she said to the rest of the people in the room.
"You don't need to be sorry" Ash spoke with sympathy. Pikachu nooded.
She looked back at Meowth and scratched his head "I saw the sorrow in his eyes but I still wanted to keep my composure" Jessie told "I decided to apologise some moments later but then a wave came crashing into us. Then he tried to save me but he ended in the water too."
Jenny finished her writing in a little notepad "But how did you end up in the forest?" she inquired.
Jessie then remembered "Something hit me when James was trying to help and I blasted off" she explained.
Ash looked at her oddly "Did you know what it was?" he asked.
"I can't remember very well but it was big and had some strange tentacles. To be honest I could only think in getting back to safety...with James" she replied bitting her lower lip.
Jenny stood up "Right! Thank you, Jessie! That's all I need to find him. You were probably near to the beach side next to a cliff, right?"
"Yes." she said sighing and resting back in the bed "A place full of trees with a opening clearing"
"I just need one more thing" Jenny muttered "Do you have any high-quality photo of your partner?" the police officer asked.
"I have one in my uniform" Jessie said. Joy acted quickly and picked all the things that Jessie had in her possession "You had some pokeballs and a photo in your skirt. Is this the one you mean?" she inquired showing the picture.
Jessie grabbed it: it was a photo of her, James and Meowth back in the training days. They were wearing the red trainee's uniforms, hugging themselves and smiling to the camera. She remembered very well those days when she couldn't find the right partner and when the right one finnally came, he promised to never let her down.
"Take good care of it!" she handed the photo to the officer with sadness in her sapphire eyes "It has sentimental value"
"It's in good hands!" Jenny spoke putting the photo away in a black waist purse and picking her pokeball.
She summoned her pocket monster: a dog-like pokemon with silk orange fur, his tail bouncing happily at his trainer.
"Growlithe, I got a job for you!" Jenny placed a hand in the top of his head. The pokemon barked and sniffed the surrondings, moving his snout until he saw the magenta-haired criminal and the scratch cat pokemon.
He chased Meowth, who cowardly ran of fear, and growled at Jessie, sending a shiver through her body.
"Stop! We're not here to attack them!" the police officer gently picked Growlithe "They're at our sides"
Growlithe gave a quizzical look at the cop but soon started to lick her face "That tickles!"
Jessie looked at them weirdly and sighed in relief. Police's pokemon never showed any affection towards criminals so she didn't know how can that pokemon could help them searching for another thief when he possibly just wanted to get rid off him.
Jenny placed him back on the floor and said "I need you to pick the scent of James. You probably know who he is" she showed him the photo and pointed at the lavender-haired man. Jessie, Meowth, Ash, Misty, Brock and Joy watched in silence.
Growlithe nooded and advanced towards Jessie "Oh no!" she thought to herself. She shut her eyes tightly waiting for some kind of attack but she realised soon that the dog was just sniffing her, trying to get some James's smell.
He sniffed her hand and licked it in affection. Jessie's hand came closer to his nose and he barked happily, starting to licking Jessie's face like he did before with Jenny.
"G-Good dog! Stop, your ruining my face even more!" Jessie laughed at the growlithe's show of affection.
Everyone smiled "It's impressive how quickly he trusted her!" Brock mentioned. Misty and Ash nooded in agreement.
"Growlithe tends to make friends with everyone easily!" Jenny added and came closer to Jessie's bed "Growlithe, have you found some of James's scent?"
The dog stopped licking Jessie and barked in confirmation "Right! We better start searching. The rescue teams are busy with other people too" she finished.
"We'll help!" Ash said determinated. Misty and Brock nooded at Ash's decision.
"I'll help too!" Jessie lifted up from the bed weakly "James is my partner! I--" she collapsed back in the bed due to the pain in her whole body.
"You're not going anywhere, Jessie! You need to rest" Joy placed the blankets back in her body.
"But--"
"No, buts! I know you want James back but you need to take it easy" Joy muttered with a little smile. Meowth approached his partner "I'll stay with you Jess" he said.
Jessie sighed and nooded sadly. Pikachu jumped from Ash's shoulder to her bed, leaving his trainer confused, and rubbed his head in Jessie's belly.
His tiny rodent eyes sparkled "Pi! Pikachu! Pika pi pi ka chu!" he squeeked. Jessie smiled at him.
"He promised that he'll do everything to find James" Meowth translated tearing up.
"We promise too!" Misty and Ash said in unison. Brock nooded with officer Jenny.
Jessie and Meowth couldn't believe in their eyes: They were to kindhearted to be real. Meowth sat in Jessie's lap and waved a paw as they exited the room.
"Thank you!" Jessie said loud. She then looked at the dark cloudy sky outside: James was somewhere lost, hurt and probably dead after what she had done to him. If he was really dead, it would never be the same for Jessie. She could never tell him her feelings, she could never have the life she always dreamed with him...
"James, please...C-come back!" Jessie sobbed hard. Joy and Chansey watched heartbroken. The girl was a completely wreck: She needed him back at all the costs because Jessie wasn't Jessie without James.
Joy sat at her side and looked at Meowth too: he was lost in the same rollercoaster of pain and loss as Jessie but she noticed something more in his sharpen eyes: Strengh. He needed to be strong for Jessie. He already lost one friend and he couldn't lose another one.
TO BE CONTINUED...
