No good deed goes unpunished

Disclaimer: This fic is rated R for graphic violence, adult language, and other things that would NEVER be shown on Pokemon. This is my first try at a chapter fic, so bear with me. While most Pokemon scripts are based on Ash and his friends, this fic is NOT! In fact, the star of this fic is.. Well, you'll see. I must warn you, if you're feeling depressed or upset, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND READING THE FIC RIGHT NOW! Oh, and I don't own most of the characters in the fic. Nintendo does. Also, I don't own any websites mentioned in the fic. But I don't know who does.

Meowth had just fainted into James's arms and Jessie looked absolutely shocked

Jessie: You mean that madman's out to kill Meowth?!?

Josh: (solemnly) Not just kill him, slaughter him.

Jessie and James look at Josh with a look of digust

James: Slaughter him???

Josh: *sighs in an annoyed kind of tone* Yes. slaughter him. You see, Harris doesn't just kill his prey, he. I can't describe it, it's just horrific. If you have a computer, I can show you reports of what he's done to his victims in the past, so you can understand what kind of monster is after Meowth. Do you?

Jessie: Well we did just steal that PC from the store the other day.

James: Along with a modem, scanner, webcam, cd burner.

Josh: OK! OK! All that's needed is the PC and the modem. Only problem is, how do we get to your place safely?

Jessie: No problem. I've got just the guy.

Jessie pulls out a cell-phone from her skirt pocket and dials up a number

Jessie: (talking into the cell-phone) Hello. hey, Mondo. we need a ride back to our hideout. as soon as you can get here. no, we don't need snacks at the moment. ok, hope to see you soon. (hangs up the phone)

Josh: Ok, not that it's really my business, But.

James: (cutting him off) Mondo's our go-to guy.

Josh: (impressed that James knew what he was gonna ask) Wow, thanks...

James: (turning to Jessie) But what about Meowth? He's still out cold!

Jessie: Leave that to me.

Jessie kneels down next to Meowth and pulls out a can of tuna from her pocket, along with a penknife

Josh: (to James) How the hell's she able to carry all that stuff in her pockets! The skirt doesn't look that long!

James: It's a mystery that's been on my mind for at least the last 5 minutes.

Josh cocks an eyebrow towards James's direction as Jessie uses the penknife to pry open the tuna can

Jessie: The scent of this tuna'll get him up in no time!

James: (a little coolly) I think we figured that out when you pulled out the knife.

Jessie puts the open can near Meowth's nose where the aroma of the tuna inside rouses him out of his blackout

Meowth: What happened? (sees the tuna) Hey look, fish! (grabs the can and starts eating its contents)

Jessie: See.

James: So how long til' Mondo arrives with the jeep?

Just as he says that, a green jeep starts to pull up and driving it is a brown-haired boy wearing the same uniform as Jessie and James

Jessie: I'd say a few microseconds. (waves to the driver) Hey Mondo!

Mondo climbs out of the jeep and walks towards Jessie

Mondo: Hey Jess, how's it goin'?

Jessie: To be honest, I'm not sure anymore!

Mondo: Huh?

Josh: (clears his throat loudly)

Jessie and Mondo turn towards him

Josh: I'm starting to get the feeling you guys aren't taking this seriously.

Jessie: It's hard to believe, alright?!? I mean this Harris guy may not even exist!!!

James: Um.. Jess? We saw the clipping remember?

Jessie: (calming down) Right.

Mondo: So shall we get going?

Josh: YES! LET'S GO FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!

Mondo steps back, a little shocked by the stranger's outburst, and the sudden realization of the stranger's disfigurement

Mondo: And you are.

Jessie: We'll explain on the way. Alright?

Mondo: Ok.

Mondo gets in the jeep, followed by Jessie, Josh, and James. But Meowth just sits on the grass finishing off the tuna

Jessie: Hey you mangy alley-cat! Get in!!!

She honks the horn loudly, causing the cat to jump about a foot in the air

Meowth: (upon landing) DON'T DO THAT!!!

Jessie sighs as Meowth climbs into the jeep and the 5 of them take off. As the jeep heads off, we see a shadowy figure pop up from the bushes.

*10 minutes later*

Meowth has just finished telling Mondo the whole story about his saving the kid's life, with an increasingly tense look on his face

Mondo: So you're saying that you actually rescued this kid from a murderer.

Meowth: Uh-huh.

Mondo: .and now he's out to kill YOU?

Meowth: Yep.

Mondo: Excuse me if I find that more than a little bit farfetched.

Josh: Just wait til' we arrive at. (realizes he has no idea where the hell Jessie and James live) j-just wait.

Finally, they pull up to a cabin with a mailbox out front reading Jessie/James/Meowth

Mondo: Here we are! Rocket Residence! (climbs out of the jeep)

Meowth: Thank god, I gotta use the litter box so bad! (jumps out of the jeep, opens the front door, and runs into the cabin)

James, Josh, and Jessie climb out slowly and enter the cabin

Josh: (looking around for the computer) Hmm.. Nice feng-shui arrangement. (sees the computer over by a table and sits down in a chair in front of it) Ah, here we go! Everybody gather around!

Mondo, James, and Jessie sit down by Josh

James: Well what are we waiting for?

Josh: For Meowth to finish up with the litter box.

Soon enough, Meowth comes out of the bathroom and sits down by James. Josh turns on the computer and, after it loads up, gets onto the internet

Josh: Now I must warn you all, these reports are NOT pretty. So if you have weak stomachs, I'd suggest either looking away, or getting a barf bag handy.

Jessie pulls out 5 paper bags and hands them to everyone

Josh: Ok. (typing in the address) www.killerarchive.com (waits for the site to come up and then resumes typing) Harris Sythe.

As the 5 look on, they see a whole set of links to reports concerning Sythe's crimes

Mondo: (clicking on one link, then recoiling as the report comes onscreen) OH DEAR GOD!!!

We see on the monitor that the report reads that one of his victims was found cut in half

James: (clicking on another link quickly, then stares in shock at the newly- appearing report) My. god..

This report says that another victim was found full of stab wounds

Meowth: (looking very green at this point) What kind of man would do these things?!?

As they click on report after report, they see that Harris has used countless and horrifying ways to kill his victims. After one such report, telling how he used his switchblade to disembowel one of his victims, Meowth hurls into his paper bag, which James looking like he's about to

Jessie: This guy's not a killer. He's a fucking devil!!!

Josh: (getting more and more uneasy) One last report, one that'll prove that Meowth helped me escape from his clutches. (clicks on a link)

As the report comes up, the 5 of them look in shock at the screen

Jessie: It can't be.

James: There's no way.

The report tells about how Harris escaped his prison, and tells who helped put him in jail in the first place, namely Josh and Meowth

James: So it's true.

Josh: Yep. (shuts down the computer) It's all true.

Meowth: Then that means. my life really is in danger!!!

Meowth faints right out of his chair and as Mondo tries to revive him. Jessie just looks at Josh with a scared look on her face

Jessie: So this guy's out for Meowth's head?

Josh: I'm afraid so. But Meowth saved my life once before.

As Josh says this, he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a magnum

Josh: .and now it's time I protect his! By any. means. necessary!!!
