20 Things Jessie doesn't Talk about
by watchesfoxes
Hi again everyone! Here's the seventh part! I've been having a lot of fun getting into Jessie's head and I hope you are enjoying these drabble things too. This one's dedicated to SideshowJazz1 who wondered if any of these would involve the twerps. This one only really refers to Ash, but I promise there are more twerp-animosity secrets coming up.
7. Jessie is more jealous of Ash's childhood than she is of James's.
James had a very privileged childhood. Though he was never happy with it, Jessie, who grew up with just south of nothing, cannot help but envy his money, his mansions, his infinite icecream sandwiches, and more. However in the years they've followed Ash Ketchem, Jessie has learned enough about the twerp to resent his past even more than her partner's. At first glance Jessie and Ash have a lot in common-both are only children born to young, single mothers who struggled financially. But while she grew up fast, jaded, and lonely, he grew up well loved, believed in, and happy.
And so ends the seventh secret thing. Jessie and Ash do have a lot of backstory in common: both of them grew up only children who were very close to their mothers, both of said mothers have Team Rocket Affiliation-and affiliation with Giovanni for that matter (well depending how canon you think the stage show is at any rate)-there isn't really a father in either Jessie or Ash's life (yea Delia mentioned Ash's dad…once in passing, but we've yet to see proof that he's actually been present,) and both Jessie and Ash have a deep-rooted interest in Pokémon and have both declared a desire to be a Pokémon master. And I bet seeing how happy Ash is with his life cannot be easy on Jessie given how much she seems to hate her life. Anyway hope you enjoyed, review if you'd like.
