A team member down.

Chapter one.

Hello, whoever's reading this and welcome to my fanfiction!

This is about:

James eats a poisonous berry, and gets sick and it is up to Jessie and Meowth to take care of him. Please review and say anything, good or bad...

I don't own pokemon or any of their characters

Enjoy!

The sun rose over the woods, spreading beams of light through the trees. One of these beams hit a certain pink haired team rocket member, who was in the progress of waking her colleges up, but failing.

"Meowth! Stop moaning and get up!" Jessie shouted, shaking the cat pokemon furiously. She looked over to James, who was currently jamming a pillow over his head and muttering some very un-gentleman like words under his breath. Jessie sighed. "You too, James!" she said, giving Meowth one last violent shove.

"Jess...don't ya think it's a little early?" Meowth moaned, rising to his feet slowly. James rolled over onto his back and looked at Jessie with tired eyes, throwing his pillow to the side.

"The sun isn't even up properly yet..." he muttered and sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"I'm tired too!" Jessie said and yanked James to his feet, "But the stupid sunlight woke me up!"

"Still," Meowth said, wandering over to where the rest of his team was, "ya could've let me an' James have some beauty sleep!"

"Well, I wasn't prepared to wait for hours!"

James hung his head and sighed.

"Look, guys...we're up now, so there is no point in going back to sleep..." he said and smiled, "Besides, we can go and see some more of these alolan pokemon!"

Jessie smiled and started to pack the sleeping bags up.

"Great idea! Maybe we could catch some really cute ones..."

Meowth and James looked at each other and rolled their eyes. When it came to 'cute' pokemon, Jessie wasn't messing around.

"Nice one, Jimmy...I'll be surprised if we get any sleep tonight..." Meowth said, looking at the female team rocket member with a look of despair on his face. James grinned sheepishly.

"When I said that, I didn't mean to trigger one of Jessie's moods..." he whispered, rubbing the back of his neck.

"James! Don't forget your dictionary!" Jessie cried and James shuffled to collect it, yawning slightly. It was going to be a long day.

James watched Jessie walk determinedly in front of him, wandering when she was going to stop. Or at least slow down. James sighed wearily, and looked down at Meowth, who he was currently carrying.

"You ready to walk yet?" he asked the pokemon, who wiggled his legs feebly.

"Nah, Jim..." Meowth replied. His stomach rumbled. "Can't we stop to have some food?!"

When Meowth mentioned food, James's stomach rumbled too. He groaned and shouted to Jessie:

"You must be hungry too! Please can we stop?!"

Jessie turned around, her expression unreadable. She paused.

"I guess I'm hungry too..." she said after some anxious waiting from Meowth and James.

"I wanna sandwich!" Jessie cried and stomped her foot. James face palmed. Meowth spotted this and tugged his shirt.

"Did you forget the food?" the pokemon asked a little too loudly. Unknown to them, Jessie had heard and turned her head around just as James shook his head.

"You what!" the female team rocket member cried and walked closer to them with a sour expression on her face. James paled and stepped back.

"We could find some berries or something!" he cried and dropped Meowth by accident.

"Ouch!" the pokemon cried, rubbing his tail. James looked down.

"Oops. Sorry Meowth." The pokemon glared at him. Meanwhile, Jessie was jumping in excitement.

"Great idea!" she said to James, "I always wanted to know where people got those juicy berries!"

James smiled and punched the air with his fist.

"Yes! Team rocket will get the best berries there is!" hewas cried.

"An' everybody seein' us eatin' them will be jealous!" Meowth cried happily.

"A berry bush! Yummy!" Jessie cried. The bush in front of her had a variety of berries on, all of them they hadn't seen before.

"I'm gonna try this one!" Jessie cried, plucking a berry off. She put it in her mouth and her eyes went wide.

"This is amazing!" she cried and started putting more in her bag. James tried the berry, and he too was amazed.

"Meowth! Try this!" he said and handed one to Meowth.

"Get loads of them, Jess!" the pokemon said, chewing happily. James proceeded to pluck another type of berry off the bush. It was blue, and it had some darker patches on it.

Shouldn't I be more cautious?, James thought but then shrugged it off. It looked nice. James put it into his mouth.

"How does that one taste?" Jessie asked and James gagged. He clutched his throat and tears were steaming out of his eyes.

"Spit it out if it's horrible!" Meowth cried and James shook his head. With a strangled cry, he swallowed the berry and started coughing.

"Why didn't you spit it out?!" Jessie asked angrily.

"Not...polite..." James said in-between coughs. He suddenly shoved some of the nicer berries in his mouth, trying to get rid of the horrible taste.

"Hey! Stop wasting the berries!" Jessie shouted at him and wacked him around the head.

"Ow!" James cried, rubbing his head.
