The other decision
Jessie and Rino decided to
split up for a time after that. The had talked all night in a warm embrace,
despite the coolness of the early hours, and decided that it was for the best.
Thunder was actually glad to be gone of the Misdreavus with it's scary eyes,
but Jessie was very sad.
'I have wasted so much time
by making the wrong decision. Oh Thunder, I'm so glad I still have you.' She
tightly hugged him, as they sat in a train towards Sunny Town. The houses and
trees flashed before her eyes, only to be never seen again. It was such a
depressing thought. 'Maybe I'll see James again, and then I'll tell him
everything. Maybe he won't hate me for lying to him and...' She softly
whispered towards Thunder, although they were the only ones in the coupe.
'Rai...Raichu!' It said happily, trying to cheer her up. It cuddled in her
arms, keeping her warm. Rino had been there to wave them goodbye, probably
never seeing them again. Rino seemed sad, but in a strange way. Thunder had
sensed that by his scent. Almost like he was too afraid to be scared. Jessie and Rino had held hands until the
train moved away. They hadn't said anything, they just looked in each other's
eyes. Thunder had thought that it was really sappy, but he still felt sorry for
it's owner. She didn't deserve so much pain. The remained in a hug until the
train was at it's final destination. They slowly walk out of the cabin, into a
new live. Another new live. But first she pulled Thunder in her bag, keeping it
a secret for all the people who wanted to catch it or something. She had no
time for that nonsense.
Jessie stepped with one foot
on the street. Suddenly it was almost run over by a wheel. 'Hey! Watch it!' She
yelled at whoever almost ran over her foot. She looked at the vehicle, and saw
that it was a bicycle. With training wheels. Jessie almost laughed, if she
hadn't been that angry. 'So, you think you are so tough, huh? Running over
people! Well, why do you have training wheels then!' She yelled, before she
looked at the person who had ride the bike. 'J...Jessie?' The male voice
stuttered, completely surprised. Huh? Hey, I know that voice! Jessie thought,
as she looked up at the boy's face. 'JAMES!' She yelled, as she ran towards him
and nearly choked him while she held him tight. 'Talk about coincidence,
Thunder thought as he heard James trying to get out Jessie's grip, feeling very
uncomfortable.
'Jessie!' He exclaimed as he
too hugged her back, more than a bit surprised. 'Wh..what happened? Why did you
leave me? You promised you...' Jessie put a finger on James' mouth. 'I'm sorry.
I didn't wanna leave you. But you have done well, I see! How did you pay for
those training wheels?' She joked. James smiled embarrassed as he holds his
hand behind his head. That's such a cute thing about James, Jessie thought.
James decided not to ask again, as he might scare Jessie away.
Suddenly a bunch of bikers
came riding towards them. 'Hey, lil' Jim!' A guy says waving at James. 'Did you
pick up a hottie there?'
'Lil' Jim?' Jessie asks at
James, an eyebrow raised. James gets embarrassed again. 'Don't mind them... I'm
not like them at all...'
'I see that.' Jessie
snickers. 'Training wheels huh?' James get redder by the minute, until he rides
towards the group and talks to them, something Jessie can't hear because she is
too far away. The whole gang nods, then ride towards Jessie, as she gets a
little scared. 'Be quiet, Thunder,' she whispers at the bag that she's still
carrying, refusing to let go of it. The guy who had spoken to James, obviously
the leader of the gang, extends his hand. 'Hey, my name is Chopper. Lil' Jim
just told me that you're not his girlfriend, so, do I have a chance?' He looks
at her lustfully, while Jessie doesn't know what to say. She had never
considered herself a 'hottie'. Suddenly a female gang member rides towards
them, she has green hair. 'Chopper! Don't flirt with every girl you see!' She yells,
as she hits him with a mallet.
'I'm sorry, Tara, I forgot
about you.' Tara looks even angrier after that comment, while she hits him
again, harder this time. Jessie sweatdroppes, as she walks towards James.
'James and I are good friends, and I don't need a boyfriend, thanks!' She says
coldly, trying to imitate the Rockets she feared so much. It was the only way
she knew that wouldn't let anyone hurt her. James stared at her surprised,
thinking she was really a though person like the Rocket agents. Chopper smiles.
'We need though persons like you here, do you want to join?'
Jessie didn't take to long
to consider that. She looked at James once, and felt bad about leaving him in
the Tech, so she accepted without worrying about it too much.
