After crying for all the horrible mistakes she had made in the treatment of her partner, Jesse began to get a headache and sat down glumly on the ground. As she held her throbbing forehead and sobbed silently, she traced the shape of a half-heart on the ground with a piece of rock, her representation of the destroyed love that could've been. Weezing, Arbok, and Victreebell tried to comfort her, but none of them saw the sly feline hanging above Jesse's head on a tree limb. Within seconds, the catlike pokemon had jumped on Jesse's head and was yelling at her as he swiped her with his claws.

"Don't you see, Meowth? He left his pokeballs here! Now, why would he do that? Tell me, Meowth..." She crossed her arms and gave Meowth a sly look as she flipped her still-dirty hair to the other side.

"Maybe he was runnin, Jess, ya ever tink of dat? He coulda dropped em and jus now realized dat his pokemon are gone."

Jesse got a frightened look in her eyes. "I hope so..."
