To See A Friend Go
By: Jessica R Vance
Rating: PG, just because it's sad.
Summary: OK, a lot of people wanted to know what happened to Meowth during the "Mother" series... this is for them. It's kind of sad, but I went for realism in this rather than happy endings.
Thank Yous: Thanks to everyone at the board that helped me with this... the ideas for what Meowth did and for the idea that most Pokémon die in a lifespan of less than 18+ years. Thanks guys!
Disclaimer: I own Jackie, nothing else.
*To See A Friend Go*
Jessie, James, and Jackie stood over the small grave in the Pokémon cemetery, Jessie wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, James with his arm around her consolingly and Jackie wishing that she could have known her Uncle Meowth.
The family had learned, after weeks of searching, that Meowth had gone to Las Vegas after Team Rocket disbanded and had a successful stage career. He had spent his later years in the lap of luxury, and died a happy, old Pokémon. He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
His only regret, he told his caretakers, was that he never got a chance to see what kind of girl his best friends' daughter grew up to be. He jokingly told them that he really wanted to know if she was unlucky enough to look like her father.
The Morgan family tracked down his agents, who also took care of him during his twilight years. Mrs. Price told them that she was very sorry for the loss of their friend. She told them he was a great performer, and a greater Pokémon. She told them where he was buried and gave them directions to the cemetery.
When they reached it, they found the grave without any trouble, as if a strange force was guiding them to it. They stayed there for a long time, remembering Meowth and how much he had meant to them.

The strength to go on, the heart to be true,
No one possessed these better than you.
You stood by our side, you kept us in line,
A better friend would have been hard to find.
Our little buddy, and our favorite cat,
We don't know how we can repay you for that.
A loyalty unmatched, and somehow you knew
That we would do anything just for you.
You always were there, no matter what.
The plans you came up with right on the spot.
We never succeeded, but you kept on trying.
You knew there was just no use in denying.
You lived a good life, pretty good overall-
You stood up when life threw you against the wall.
You never said die, never gave up the fight;
That's why we honor your memory tonight.
There was a time, oh so long ago,
That we went seperate ways, never wanting to know
Where we'd end up stopping, where we'd reach the end.
Not knowing we'd wouldn't ever meet again.
We know that you're happy, wherever you are
No matter how close it is, or how far.
Our guardian angel, watching over our lives,
Making sure that we know how to survive.
As we both remember your friendship today,
We remember how hard it is to see a friend go away.
*The End*
Don't flame me because he died! I was just trying to be realistic! And at least I gave him happiness before he went. JessicaVance@lovelornpoet.com
