Chapter 2
Hello...here is the next chapter...bit more action.
I don't own pokemon...
Enjoy!
James slowed down a little, suppressing a groan. Thankfully, Jessie and Meowth hadn't noticed his head ache, which now was probably turning into a migraine. James sighed and closed his eyes (still walking), trying to put up with the pain in his head- they should find a place to stay for the night soon; it was getting dark. Then, James thought, he could sleep the migraine off. James opened his eyes again and sped up so it didn't look like he was exhausted, which he was.
-Earlier that day-
"Could we find somewhere to spend the night tonight, Jess?" Meowth asked, carrying a small bag of berries.
"I was thinking that..." Jessie said, walking slower, "I thought we could spend the night in one of those fancy Alolan hotels!" she swung the bag she was holding over her shoulder.
Meowth cried out happily and James smiled at the news.
"Team rocket deserves luxury at times!" he said and they all started to speed walk, getting excited. Suddenly, James felt a painful throb in his head, and automatically brought his hand up to it. Jessie noticed this.
"What's wrong?" she asked and stopped, getting Meowth's attention; the cat pokemon perked his ears up, ready to listen.
"My head just hurt for a second..." James said, shrugging his shoulders, "it's gone now..."
Satisfied, Jessie resumed walking again, Meowth practically skipping at her heels. James paused, and started to walk with them, feeling guilty for lying to his teammates. He wasn't even sure why he did. Rubbing his temple, James plastered on a fake smile, trying to ignore the fact that his stomach like it had a rubber band wrapped around it.
-Back to present-
Thank god his stomach was feeling okay again, James thought, but he wished his head would stop thumping. James tried to ignore the migraine and looked at the buildings they were passing, searching for a hotel. All the lights were glowing on shop windows, transforming the town from what it usually looked like in the day. Instead of stopping to look though, like he usually would, James looked away from them because it hurt his head more.
Jessie scanned the buildings, looking for a hotel she liked. She looked back at her other team members, seeing if they were okay. Meowth was gasping at everything, and ignoring the alolan Meowths who were looking at him curiously. James, on the other hand, was dragging his feet slightly; he also looked like he was ready to go to bed right there and then. Jessie wondered if he still had a headache, and decided to stay in the hotel she was passing instead of being picky.
"I like this one! Let's stay here!" she cried, pointing to the building. It wasn't the best, with it's shabby looking walls, but it would do- after all, Jessie thought, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Meowth slipped in between her legs and pushed his face against the glass doors.
"Hey!" he said, "It actually looks pretty classy in there- don't ya think, Jimmy?!"
James looked through the doors.
"It does...we better go in, or the people will think we are stupid twerps." He said and together they pushed the double doors open.
"Welcome to the Ninetales hotel- how may I help?" said a man from behind the reception desk, who was wearing a blue blazer and a black bowtie. Jessie stepped forward and put her elbow on the desk.
"We would like two rooms please." She said and the man typed something on the computer. A alolan ninetales appeared next to him and watched.
"How many nights will you be staying?"
"Just tonight." Jessie answered and James tickled the Ninetales behind the ear.
"Okay- hope you enjoy your stay!" the man said and the Ninetales gave out a call. Meowth waved. The man fished out two keys from a draw under the desk.
"You are in rooms 29 and 30." He said, handing the keys to them. Jessie took one, and James took the other.
"What room is yours?" Jessie said, looking at the doors labelled 29 and 30. James turned his key over.
"30." He said and unlocked the door. It was a small-ish room with a little balcony. Not bad for a cheap price.
"I like Jessie's better." Meowth said from in between James's legs. He turned to Jessie. "Can I share yours?"
Jessie rolled her eyes and James managed to smile.
"Only if you don't get your fur everywhere..." she said and Meowth nodded.
"Night, Jimmy!" the pokemon said.
"Night."
Jessie closed the door behind her and James did too. He looked around, spotting the bed. To him, at that moment, it was the most beautiful thing in the world. No- in the universe.
"Finally..." James muttered and collapsed onto it with his clothes still on. Seconds later he was asleep, not noticing the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.
