James sighed and took off his gloves. On his nails of both ring fingers was a shard of thunder stone. He closed his eyes, and his body sifted slightly. Soon, he was in Raichu form.
He sent a lighting bolt at a hole in his wall. It separated to show a snoozing Pickachu. "Daniel, wake up, brother." Any human would have heard it as 'Rai, Raichu, Chu.'
Jessie noticed how weird James was acting at the meeting with Govnnie. Yea, he scared the living daylights out of her, but James was not scared. He seemed nervous, even aggravated. "Pikia! Pikichu! Chu?"
"Rai, ratichu, chu." Jessie stiffened, and looked into James's room. A raichu was smiling at the screen of the videophone, one paw touching the screen. The pikiachu was also touching the screen. Then the smile on the mouse Pokémon's face vanished when he saw her. "Pikachu!" The raichu terminated the call. But not before Jessie saw the familiar scar over the Pokémon's right eye. It was Ash's pikachu.
Daniel woke up at his brother's voice, but he still mistook it for Ash in his tired state. "Ten more minutes, rest now battle later," he muttered, still half asleep.
"What, are they working my little spitfire of a brother too hard?" The teasing voice jarred Daniel into full awareness.
"James! It's good to see you, brother! How're you doing?"
"I'm well, little brother. It is good to see you too." He placed his paw on the screen, and sighed happily while Daniel did the same thing.
"James, behind you!" Quickly, James terminated the call and turned to face Jessie. She dove for him, and James got out of her way. He fled for his brother's house.
"Ria, Rai, Rai." He rushed past Ash, who was going for a walk. He grabbed Ash, and pulled him into the house.
"Chu,chu,chu." He gasped, back to the door and small arms spread out, as if to keep someone out.
"Pikiachu?" Both boy and pokemon turned as one to see a sleepy Daniel rubbing his eyes with little golden paws. Then he saw his brother. Ash closed his eyes as two bright lights filled the room. When he opened them, he gasped. Instead of his Pikichu and a raichu, a teenaged boy with messy, dirty blonde hair was hugging someone he thought was James. Thought because the blue hair was sideways, reveling a bunch of smooth chocolate brown hair. Ash gasped, to himself he thought, 'His hair is a wig?'
James felt part of his costume slip off, but he really could care less at the moment. "Brother," he whispered, then pulled away. Together, they turned to Ash. James chuckled. "We have a lot of explaining to do, Daniel." Daniel chuckled as he saw Ash blanche.
"Daniel?!"
Yeah yeah, I know. But did anyone else but me notice team Rocket's traps always fail AFTER James gets near them? And will anyone else like to guess if James is an older teen or an adult? I'll give you a hint, the answer is in his pokeform. :)
