A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter thirty-six of this story. Here; J, J & M get ready to leave while the trio of Rocket agents track them down.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
Jessie, James and Meowth were packing. The trio had decided on moving to Alola and it was time to go. Delia was arranging the flight while Ash and Pikachu were about doing their own thing.
"I can't wait to reach Alola!" declared James.
"Yeah. Nobody's going to mess with us with Bewear around." agreed Meowth.
Jessie said nothing.
"Are you okay?" asked James concerned.
"A bit queasy." answered Jessie.
"Just from the pregnancy or something else?" asked Meowth worried.
"Pregnancy." answered Jessie.
Jessie rubbed her stomach.
"I think I felt a kick." cooed Jessie.
"You two have a name picked out?" asked Meowth.
"Never talked about it." answered James.
"Well, any names picked out?" asked Jessie.
"Not really." answered James.
"We'll figure it out." shrugged Jessie.
"We really should see a doctor." noted James.
"We'll see one in Alola." said Jessie.
"The cops should give us new identities, so that'll help." mused Meowth.
"We'll get new identities." corrected Jessie.
"Ouch. Cold." replied Meowth.
"You are a Pokemon." said James.
"True. I can easily blend in." agreed Meowth.
"We should finish up soon." said Jessie.
Jessie groaned in pain.
"Another kick." groaned Jessie.
"You know, we should probably get Ash a gift." said Meowth.
Jessie and James snapped and looked right at him.
"I mean, it's the least we can do." shrugged Meowth.
"As much as I hate to say it, Meowth is right." sighed Jessie.
"So, the big question is what we get." noted James.
The three began to think.
"I don't know anything about him." confessed Jessie.
"Yeah, you'd we'd know more about him since we're followed him for years." mused James.
"What do we know about him?" asked Jessie.
"He likes Pikachu." answered James.
"We know that!" snapped Jessie.
Jessie rubbed her temples.
"Sorry. Hormones." said Jessie.
"I get it. I get it." replied James.
"There's someone who can help us." noted Meowth.
"Who?" asked Jessie.
"His mom." answered Meowth.
"Are you sure she'll help us?" asked Jessie skeptical.
"Of course." answered Meowth.
Jessie sighed.
"Okay." agreed Jessie.
James tapped his chin.
"But we'll have to distract Ash and Pikachu." noted James.
Jessie began to laugh.
"That's scary." said James.
"Very scary." said Meowth.
"Leave that to me!" declared Jessie.
A little while later, Delia returned with Ash and Pikachu behind her.
"We got them." said Delia.
Delia handed the trio their tickets.
"One way to Melemele Island." said Delia.
"Thank you so much!" declared James.
Jessie winked at her duo.
"So, Ash, where did you go?" asked Jessie.
"Xanadu Nursery to get some soil." answered Ash.
"They were helping tend to the flowers." explained Delia.
"We'll help." offered James.
"Yeah. It's the least we could do." agreed Meowth.
"That'd be great." shrugged Ash.
Ash, James, Pikachu and Meowth went outside.
"Delia, can we talk." requested Jessie.
"Sure thing." replied Delia.
Delia sat down next to Jessie.
"What do you need to talk about?" asked Delia.
"We want to get something for Ash as a thank, but we don't know what to get him." answered Jessie.
"Aw, that's so nice." cooed Delia.
"So, we wanted your help." noted Jessie uncomfortable.
"You don't need to get him much." said Delia.
"But we want to get something nice." replied Jessie.
"Ash isn't a picky boy." shrugged Delia.
"What specifically can we get?" asked Jessie.
Delia thought for a moment.
"I'm not exactly sure." confessed Delia.
"Oh man." sighed Jessie.
"There are nice shops in Vermilion City." answered Delia.
"Okay." sighed Jessie.
Meanwhile; Domino, Tyson and Pierce were still in Vermilion City. The trio were planning their next step in finding and capturing Jessie, James and Meowth. A sever sense of urgency hung in the air as they planned due to Giovanni quickly losing his patience with the trio of agents.
"So, where could they have gone?" asked Pierce.
"Saffron City is just north of here." answered Domino.
"We'll start there then." said Tyson.
"No duh." muttered Domino.
Tyson murmured in annoyance.
"They could have moved on." noted Domino.
"Well, Celadon is to the east and they wouldn't go back there." said Pierce.
"Unless, they want us to think that." muttered Domino.
"That doesn't make sense!" declared Tyson.
"We can't rule it out." stated Pierce.
"Cerulean City is to the north." continued Domino.
"If they're not in Saffron, then they have to be there." stated Tyson.
"What makes you so sure?" asked Domino.
"They wouldn't return to Celadon." answered Tyson annoyed.
"If you go east, you'd hit Lavender Town." noted Pierce.
All three shivered.
"We should search there last." said Domino.
"Agreed." replied Tyson and Pierce in unison.
"So, we'll search Saffron then Cerulean and maybe Lavender Town." said Domino.
"Right." agreed Pierce.
"Don't forget Cerulean." noted Tyson.
Pierce rolled his eyes.
"They aren't there." huffed Pierce.
"Why are you two brushing me off?" asked Tyson annoyed.
"We're in charge." answered Pierce.
"Besides, we've never been caught." added Domino.
"I got caught because of their incompetence!" declared Tyson.
"When I worked with them in Unova they we're top agents." stated Pierce.
"I've never worked with them." shrugged Domino.
Domino suddenly had a vision of having the three moping in a cavernous base.
"What in the world?" asked Domino under her breath.
Domino shook her head.
"You're clearly the weakest link." answered Domino.
"What a joke!" laughed Tyson.
"The Boss put you subordinate to us." noted Pierce.
"I'm not a second banana!" cried Tyson.
"Keep telling yourself that." chuckled Domino.
"We need to focus." said Pierce.
"We'll fan out and search the entire city. Meet back here in an hour." said Domino.
"I'll search the eastern part of the city; Domino will search the western part and Tyson will search the center." stated Pierce.
"Who can you could decide without me?" asked Domino.
"The Boss put us in charge so I can make decisions as well." answered Pierce.
Domino growled angrily.
"Well, I'll be back in the Boss's good graces after killing these three." huffed Domino.
"Don't forget, all three of us are on this assignment." noted Pierce.
"Yeah. Sure." replied Domino flippantly.
Pierce grabbed Domino by the wrist.
"Don't you dare try and screw me." warned Pierce firmly.
"What about me?" asked Tyson.
Pierce and Domino ignored Tyson who reached his limit.
"I'm just as important as you two so if you think you can keep pushing me around you've got another thing coming!" snapped Tyson furiously.
A tense and silent moment passed.
"Let's go." said Pierce coldly.
James and Meowth were hurting. Both had helped Ash and Pikachu with the gardening and were exhausted by the manual labor. It had been a while. Once they finished, Jessie told them they had to visit Viridian City the next for shopping. That night, she secretly told James and Meowth the plan. The next day, the trio went to Viridian City.
"It's ironic, you know." mused James.
"What are you talking about?" asked Jessie.
"This is where we first met Ash and Pikachu." answered James.
The three looked at the unmissable Pokemon Center.
"I recall getting blasted off." noted Jessie.
"The first time of many." noted Meowth.
"So, what are getting?" asked James.
Jessie looked around.
"There's a store over there." answered Jessie.
Jessie pointed to a large store.
"We'll star there." decided Jessie.
The three entered the store and began looking around.
"So, what are getting?" asked James.
"I don't know." answered Jessie annoyed.
A man cleared his throat startling the three.
"Can I help you?" asked the employee.
"We're looking for a gift for our nephew and we don't know what to get." answered Jessie.
"How old is he?" asked the employee.
"Close to twenty." answered James.
The employee rubbed his chin.
"His partner is a Pikachu." noted Meowth.
The employee snapped his finger.
"I think I have just the thing." said the employee.
The employee left and returned a moment later.
"Here, you go." said the employee.
The employee presented a crystal Pikachu.
"This is from Sunburst Island from the master Mateo." noted the employee.
"That's the place with the Crystal Onix." whispered James.
"You'll friend will like it." said the employee.
"How much?" asked Jessie.
"I'll make a discount and split the price." answered the employee.
The three nodded.
"Okay." said Jessie.
The three paid for the crystal Pikachu and left.
"I'll be on break!" called the employee.
The employee walked off to the break room and made a phone call.
("This better be good.") said Domino annoyed.
"I'll found them." answered the employee.
A/N: That's where we'll end things for now. The Rocket agents have dissident among their ranks, but they have the location. Next time, the penultimate chapter.
