Macy is here, the beginning of this is still in the flashback btdubs. (Insert disclaimer here)
Elyse visited Ace almost everyday; she would make some excuse to leave headquarters then would head over to the flag pole. He would be waiting there motorcycle already started, and then they would zoom off, she would hold on to him tight enjoying the breeze. They would stop at a hill at the end of the road and lie down and talk about how well his 'business' was going.
"Yesterday we robbed a pokemart, stole all their ultraballs," he bragged.
She sat up, "Really baby, and you didn't get caught?"
"Well, we dropped a few running from the police," he shrugged, "Still sold them for a pretty penny, how bout you?"
She tried to be as vague as possible, "Took down a team that was trying to stop my own."
"What's your team?" he asked.
"Um, well, it's a," she looked around and spotted his gang riding up to them, "Look it's your team," she quickly changed the subject.
"You're still hangin out with the girly, Ace?" Raul stepped off his bike he wasn't too enthusiastic when he found out Ace accepted Elyse as a friend a few days ago.
"Leave her alone Raul," he told him.
"Don't worry baby I can take him, remember our first encounter Raul?" she sneered. Raul grunted and backed off.
"Let's go guys," Raul signaled with his hand for the rest to leave. Ace and Elyse were all alone again and back to lying down on the hill staring at the clouds.
"Elyse I," he looked around for something to give her, he quickly spotted a daisy in a nearby patch of grass he picked it and gave it to her, "Elyse I like you girly."
She took the flower and twirled, "I do too baby." From then on they were a couple in a sense, much to the disdain of Raul, she would come on raids with them, and they got spotted less often with her around. She started to make plans to have him join Team Rocket, while he started to make plans for something else.
One day on their hill they were laughing and talking when Ace dropped the bomb. "Girly you know I was thinking, I want to be an archeologist someday."
"What being a part of a gang not glamorous enough for you." She joked not thinking he was serious.
"No, I mean I was always fascinated with it, I studied about it a lot before my gang days," he said.
"You mean it?" she asked, she knew her uncle was going to drop by any minute to offer him a spot in Team Rocket.
"Yeah, so I quit my gang made Raul the leader," he told her, "You need a guy who has a real job it's what you deserve, I think you should quit your team too, I don't want to be an outlaw anymore." Her heart stopped.
"Ace I," she started but her uncle and some of his executives came up to them.
"So this is the boy you were talking about Elyse, I hope he is worthy of my time, so Ace I presume, do you want to join Team Rocket," he offered.
"What Elyse, you're a part of Team Rocket?" Ace asked.
She nodded, "Come on Ace join us, we could be together forever," she stood with her uncle.
"No deal girly, I quit remember, you should too," she stared at him not believing his answer.
"No I can't why not?" she stuttered.
"Then girly, I'm sorry but if not joining Team Rocket means not being with you, so be it," he looked away, "Girly like I said you deserve better come with me."
"You're right I should quit," she said. Her uncle panicked, she was the holder he couldn't have her abandon him, "Uncle, I quit."
"No you don't, grab them," he shouted. Two of the executives held on fast to both of them, that boy would ruin his master plan, "Get rid of the boy, take Elyse back to the hideout," he ordered.
"Girly," Ace called, he was being dragged away.
"Baby, Ace I'll never forget you! I promise," she called out to him.
"Good, see ya girly," he smiled and closed his eyes, he seemed to know what his fate was; he knew that he would never see her again.
Giovanni had to make all thoughts of Ace disappear, so she put her in a room and reminded her of Ace, which wasn't very hard, and then he would shock her using magnemite each time the bolt was stronger and stronger. They shocks damaged her brain to the point when ever she thought of Ace or magnemite for that matter she would break down into sobs and faint forgetting what just happened. However her uncle couldn't break the promise she made to Ace, small memories of him would somehow come through and she would convey them to the people around her. Giovanni also thought her could bring her back to feeling no remorse, to being the perfect agent again, but he was wrong. She had finally felt the thing Angie and Jack had known several years ago, love.
She had finally done it, brought back all her memories of Ace, without fainting. She wasn't ready to turn on her uncle yet though. Over the course of the years she had been convinced that Ace was wrong; that she should stay with Team Rocket that it was the best thing. She still needed a little push. That's when she made it to the room Tommy was being held.
"Hi Elise, happy to see us?" Angie and Jack were guarding Tommy's prison.
"I think so, can you let me in?" Elyse asked.
"Are you sure?" Jack asked.
"Boss's orders," she replied.
"Okay," Jack said uneasily. He typed in a code on the door's lock and the door opened.
She prepared for the worst: yelling, accusations, tears. But when she walked into the room, Tommy didn't make a sound. He wasn't handcuffed or anything, so he stood up, looked at her at started to talk.
"Elyse, I believe in you," was all he said.
"How could you say that?" she asked, "I kidnapped you, I used you to get what I wanted, I am a criminal." She broke into sobs, repeating one word over and over again, "Ace."
"Elyse, you taught me to believe, so now it's my turn. I can see in your eyes, you've loved and you've been hurt over and over again. I know you can over come all of that, I believe in you," With that she walked out. He should have been worried, but he saw in her eyes a little spark of hope. She was starting to believe.
"Elyse, after this is all over, I want to hear about Ace please," he told her before she left.
"Definitely," she smiled; she had just received that push.
"Elyse, come back," Jack called after her, she was running to the large doors, behind them she would decide her fate, "You can't go in there uninvited."
"Jack, Angie, you have been my friends forever, you are always asking if I am happy, well right now I'm going to make sure I'm always happy." She turned to them then back to the door, "I think I am starting to believe," with that she swung the doors open then raced inside.
"Jack we've got to stop her," Angie started to run to the door. Jack put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head. "Why not," she asked.
"It's funny Angie; I think I believe in her too. Let's go," he walked away opened the door to Tommy's prison then kept walking.
Angie went into the room Tommy was in looked at him and sighed, "Kid, thanks I think, Elyse is happy finally and you got me believing too," she smiled then ran to catch up with her brother. Tommy ran to the door Elyse went through, when he heard a scream and an explosion.
Sob, I can't believe I did that wah! You are all like, yes Macy why did you do that. Well I had to kill Ace no matter how much it hurts inside it was a crucial plot point. See ya.
Jenna: I can't believe you killed someone… *shrugs* that's a story plot for ya
