No good deed goes unpunished
Disclaimer: This fic is rated PG-13 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. 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.
*Seconds after Jessibelle's attack on Jessie and James*
We see Meowth and Josh creeping among the shadows of the front hall of Harris's lair, looking for the brown-haired rocket
Meowth: (whispering) Mondo. Where are you.
Josh can't help but cast a look of utter annoyance at the cat as he says this
Josh: (whispered) Meowth, does that EVER work?!?
Meowth: (ashamedly) No. Not really.
As they sneak down the hall, they hear, to their horror, the sound of approaching footsteps
Meowth: Shit! Someone's coming!
Josh: (noticing a nearby door) Quick, in there!
Josh opens the door, revealing a coat closet, and him and Meowth leap in and shut the door just as Jessibelle comes down the hallway dragging Jessie and James behind. After looking for any intruders, she steals Jessie's cell phone and dials a number into it. At this point, the camera goes into the closet with Josh and Meowth and stays there for a while
Jessibelle: (softly as the phone rings) Pick up. Pick up. it's rude to keep a lady waiting on the phone!
Soon, we hear the other end of the phone pick up and we hear a cold, cruel voice on the other line
Voice: Did you get them??
Jessibelle: (softly) Not all of them. Only the redhead and my fiancée.
Voice: Shit! That means Josh and Meowth are still on the loose!
Jessibelle: Don't you worry Harris, I'll get those two little brats as well!
Josh, hearing Jessibelle's voice on the other side of the door, turns to Meowth with a look of terror on his face
Josh: Meowth, tell me that isn't Jessibelle Coudfeld on the other side of the door. Please tell me that.
Meowth: I would, but I'd be lying.
Josh: (livid, but quiet) Shit! Jessibelle, that no-good traitor!!! How could she stoop THIS low?!?
Harris: As soon as you find them, bring them to me! Dead or alive!
Suddenly, Meowth starts getting a sick feeling in his throat
Meowth: (weakly) J-josh..
Josh: Yeah, Meowth?
Meowth: (weakly) I think I'm getting a hairball.
Josh: (panicked) What??? How at a time like this did you manage to get a hairball?
Meowth: (weakly) Well I am a cat after all.
Josh, knowing that if Meowth tries to cough up the hairball, Jessibelle will hear them and turn them in, searches in his pocket for a paper bag and upon finding one, places it around Meowth's mouth
Josh: Take hold of this bag and start trying to get rid of that hairball as quietly as humanly, or pokemonly, possible!
Meowth takes hold of the bag and starts gagging quietly into it, trying to free himself of the hairball, as Josh keeps listening to the phone conversation between Harris and Jessibelle
Jessibelle: So where should I put the two that I HAVE sedated?
Harris: Put them in the room with their little friend. After I get rid of the cat and the boy, I'll dispose of the redhead and the brown-haired kid and the blue one is all yours.
Jessibelle: Right. Got it loud and clear Harris!
With that, she hangs up the phone and tosses it over her shoulder before dragging Jessie and James down the hall. As soon as he's sure that Jessibelle is gone, he opens the door and tumbles out onto the floor
Josh: (softly) This is unreal. This is just unreal! My own flesh and blood is helping my worst enemy do away with me.
Josh starts to run down the hall after her, but remembers that Meowth's still in the closet, choking on that hairball. Turning back, he gets behind the cat-pokemon, places his arms around Meowth's heaving middle, and gives him a big squeeze.
Josh: (in his head) I can't believe this! Three friends are in danger and I'm helping Meowth throw up a hairball. This is just my kind of luck!
After one more squeeze, Meowth finally spits up the hairball into the bag and wipes the sweat off his face.
Meowth: (gasping and breathing a sigh of relief) Whew! Thanks Josh.
Josh: Yeah, my pleasure.
Suddenly, they hear a familiar voice scream from a door down the hall
Meowth: It's Mondo! I'd know that scream anywhere!
Josh and Meowth rush into the room they heard Mondo's scream come from and discover him tied up to a chair with his head turned away from a motionless Jessie and James laying on the floor in front of him
Meowth: (horrified) Jessie! Mondo! James! My god!!!!
Josh: That bitch must've poisoned Jessie and James somehow!
Mondo: (coldly) That's not all they did...
As Mondo turns towards them, they recoil in horror at the sight of Mondo's mutilated face. His head is bloodied and some of his cuts are bone deep. His right eye is almost hanging out of its socket. It's all Meowth can do to keep from vomiting on the spot.
Meowth: (fighting back nausea) What the heck happened to your face?!?
Mondo: (sobbing) That bastard Sythe sliced my face up with a broken whiskey bottle and that switchblade of his!
Josh: (remembering the scar above his eye) He'll pay dearly for all of this!
Mondo: (shaky) I should hope so!
Just then, they hear Jessie and James start to move. Thinking quickly, Josh tells Meowth to check on them while he unties Mondo
Meowth: You sure?
Josh: Yeah, I'm sure! Make sure they're ok!
As Meowth runs over to Jessie and James, Josh starts to work on Mondo's knots
Josh: I'm so sorry. This is all my fault!
Mondo: No it isn't.. There is no way you could've known he'd do something like this!
Voice: (furious) Something like WHAT?!?
Hearing the cold voice, Josh and Meowth turn around and, in terror, see Jessibelle standing in the doorway holding a whip
Jessibelle: Get up! NOW!
Meowth: (cockily) And if we don't.
Jessibelle walks over to Mondo and whips him upside the head, knocking him out cold, much to Meowth's horror
Jessibelle: Let's try this again. Get up right now and follow me!!!!
Left with no alternative, Josh and Meowth get up and follow Jessibelle out of the room and to a doorway near the end of the hall. Upon opening the door and revealing a windowless room stripped bare save for a single illuminated light bulb, Jessibelle shoves the two inside and ties them up with a long rope
Jessibelle: Harris will be so pleased once he finds out that I've got you two right where he wants you!
Josh: I never thought you could stoop so low. Why are you doing this?!?
Jessibelle: Why??? Because with his help, James will finally become my husband and I'll become heir apparent to both the Morgan family fortune AND your parents inheritance!
Josh: (furious) You're sick! Betraying your own family just for money! This. this is unforgivable!!!
Jessibelle: (angry) That'll be enough out of you! (whips Josh across the face, leaving a long red cut across his cheek)
Meowth: You'll never get away with this, you.. you harlot!!!
Jessibelle: Oh but I already have! Once Harris takes out you, the boy, that brown-haired runt, and that bitch Jessie, James'll be all mine and I'll become rich beyond my wildest dreams!
With that and a maniacal laugh, she walks out of the room and slams the door behind her
Meowth: What do we do now???
Josh: I don't know. I just don't know.
Josh hangs his head down in shame as a single tear runs down his cheek
Josh: Once Harris gets rid of us, there will be no stopping them from killing Jessie and Mondo and turning James into Jessibelle's prisoner.
Josh lifts his tear-streaked face up
Josh: (mournfully) I've let them down. I've let everyone down.
Meowth can only look at him with a look of utter sorrow as he hangs his head down in defeat
