Part 1.1

*She put the phone down*

Jessie: Team Rocket? *She smiled* I haven't heard those words in ages...not out loud. *She lay on her bed* Why should I join the Team? I've finally got everything I wanted. A decent house, cars, money. I never had any money. My life is perfect. I have everything I've dreamed of...*she got up and walked towards her dressing table. She opened a draw and picked up a photo* Except, my friends. *She looked at the photos on her dressing table, some of her mum, some with her as a child with another girl, but she picked up one with her, James and Meowth* It's been so long since I last saw them, too long. Why is it that everyone that I've ever cared about is gone. *She looked down at a photo with her and the other girl. She quickly turned away and shoved the photo back in the draw. She thought for a while, and then smiled. She put down the photo* I won't let it happen again. *She picked up her bag and walked out*

Giovanni: Thank you for accepting my invitation. You will all become members of Team Rocket. Some of you are former members, some of you aren't. You will...

Jessie: *she wasn't paying attention. She was too busy looking for familiar faces* Where are they?

Meowth: *he crawled along the bottom of the crowd looking for dropped money* Meow meow meow...

Jessie: Can that be...?

Meowth: Meow meow meow...*finding something* Meeowth! *Looking at it closely, frowning and chucking it away* Justa dumb old bottle cap. Now, where was I?

Jessie: Ah! Meowth! *She dived down and grabbed him*

Meowth: Ahg! Help Meowth!

Jessie: Shhh... *She dragged him away from the crowd. She put him down* Your going to get us into trouble.

Meowth: It's nice to see you again too.

Jessie: Sorry. *Her face softened* So what have you been doing all this time? I've missed you.

Meowth: Really? Ya missed me?

Jessie: Of course, why does it surprise you?

Meowth: Doesn't matter. So have you seen James yet?

Jessie: You mean you haven't seen him either?

Meowth: Dis is bad. No one has seen him anywhere.

Jessie: Oh. *She sighed* He mustn't have come.

Meowth: Well, da Boss has finished his powa speech now. Maybe we can ask him.

Jessie: Good idea. *She got up and ran towards Giovanni*

Meowth: Gee, she's changed. I wonder what Jim is doin'.

Jessie: Please tell me!

Giovanni: I'm sorry. I tried calling him, but he wouldn't answer my messages.

Jessie: You've got his number?!

Giovanni: Yes, but-

Jessie: I need to use it. *She gave him a look that left Giovanni defenseless*

Giovanni: *sighing* Fine, if it keeps you as far away from me as possible. *He gave her the number*

Jessie: Thank you! *She kissed him on the cheek* You have no idea how much this means to me.

Giovanni: *blushing* Uh, right. *He straightened up* Good luck. You'll need it.

Jessie: *she grabbed Meowth by the neck* Come on.

Meowth: Hey! Where are ya takin' me! Let go!

Snubble: Snub?

Meowth: Oh, no. You stay here.

Snubble: *she put her paws on her hips* Snub. *She followed after him*

Meowth: Oh, dis will be fun.

Jessie: Pickuppickuppickup! *She slammed the phone down on the hook* Ooh! That is it! He's never going to answer. *She stood there for a few seconds* ...Do you have any change Meowth?

Meowth: Here's da last of it. *He dropped some coins in her hand*

Jessie: *Looking at them* ...*smiling* ...one last time. *She took the coins and headed towards the phone booth* Here goes. *She put the coins in and dialed the number* Come on, James. *She stood there with both hands on the phone* Oooh! Pick up! *The phone started beeping* No, don't cut out. Please. *The phone cut out.*

Phone: Your credit has run out. Thank you for using our services.

Jessie: *she slowly hung the phone back up* That's it. *She walked out of the phone booth*

Meowth: Nutin'.

Jessie: *she kept a blank expression* Let's go home. I'm tired and hungry.

Meowth: *Looking into a bakery* Me too. *Licking his lips* Cakes, doughnuts, buns, I'd have anythin'. Meowth! I'm goin' in!

Jessie: Your not going to steal some are you?

Meowth: Um, no.

Jessie: Gee that sounds promising.

Meowth: Just gimme a minute or two. *He went around the corner and stood near the door. He leant back against the wall looking casual. Hmm, a Meowth standing up looking casual?* Any second now...*a man came out of the shop. Meowth slipped out his claws and slit open the bottom of the bag, letting some doughnuts fall out into his paw* He he he! Paydoit! *He took a bite out of one* Mmmm, Choc-Orange! Whaddaya know? James' favourite! Ha ha ha! Huh? *He looked at the doughnut, then at the man* Uh, Jess?

Jessie: *poking her head out from behind the corner* What is it, Meowth? Choc-Orange? Another cruel reminder of "him".

Meowth: J-j-Jess? Look. *He pointed to the man, who started wondering why his paper bag felt lighter* Are you ready for da woist cliché eva?

Jessie: *she looked up*

Man: *looking through the hole in the bag* My doughnuts? *He turned to the side still looking through the bag. He saw Jessie hurtling towards him* Oohweehooweehoohoo! *Before he could move, he was trapped in a squishy hug from Jessie* Let me go! *He suddenly realized who it was* Gaah!...Jessie? Is that you?

Jessie: *releasing him* Long time no see, James.

James: It is you! It's been so long since I've seen you. 3 years?

Jessie: I can give you the exact months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes if you like. Let me see, 3 years, 2 months and a half...

Meowth: Hey! Jim! Forgetting' someone?

James: Meowth! Your here too! *He looked at his paw* My doughnuts! Why you little...

Jessie: Ah, he's not worth it.

James: But those are my custom made doughnuts, Jessie.

Jessie: *pouting, then smiling* You haven't changed.

*They started walking*

Jessie: So where have you been this past week.

James: I haven't gone anywhere.

Jessie: Did you get the calls? The letters? Checked your e-mail?

James: I got them......... I just didn't want to answer them.

Jessie: Didn't you want to re-join Team Rocket?

James: Not really.

Jessie: Why?

James: I didn't think you'd join up again. I mean, it wouldn't be very fun by myself.

Jessie: I did the complete opposite. I joined because I thought you'd be there too.

James: Really?

Jessie: Really. Now, are you going to join or not?

James: ...maybe.

Jessie: Jaaames. *She gave him a pleading look*

James: ...ok! I will. Just, don't do that thing with you eyes. It creeps me out.

*Ash, Misty and Pikachu are lying on Pallet Beach, where Brock is trying his best to impress girls, and Tracey trying his best to impress Professor Oak, uh, Pokemon sketches wise that is*

Misty: *holds up a bottle of sun tan lotion* Aaaaaash...*waves the bottle around*

Ash: Yes, Misty.

Misty: Do you mind...?

Ash: This is the fifth time this hour. *Looks obviously annoyed* Don't you think I've rubbed enough of that stuff on your "hard-to-reach" places?

Misty: Stop the yappin', *she grabbed his hands and poured a heap of lotion on them* and start the slip, slop, slappin'!

Ash: *gave in, and started rubbing the lotion on her back*

Misty: That's better.*she smiled*

*Misty, now sixteen, discovered that she can easily get what she wanted from Ash. Ash's mum, came out with Mimey, her Mr. Mime, carrying some lemonade.*

Mrs.K: *sees what Ash is doing and tries to distract him* Lemonade everyone! *shoves some in Ash's face* Here's some lemonade deary!

Ash: *startled* Mu-um!

Mrs.K: *mumbles to him* Not while your mother is around. *yells out to the rest of them* Who's up for some ice-cold lemonade!

Ash: Why won't she let me grow up?

Brock: *surprisingly, comes over with some girls in his arms* He he hee! So many girls! So many sexy girls! And they're all-

*The girls notice Tracey and run after him, leaving Brock alone.*

Brock: H-h-hey w-wait! Ladies!

*Tracey sees the girls run after him. He drops his pad and pencil and starts running. The others looked up. They saw a plane heading north.*

Misty: It must be the Cinnibar/Viridian flight.

Tracey: *poking his head out of the bush with his headband halfway down his neck and looking through his binoculars* Ummm, nope. That's not the plane that's usually taken. Looks t' me as if it's from someplace else.

Ash: I wonder where it came from.

*A girl looked out the window of the plane. She had long pink hair, and was wearing a black singlet top that showed her belly, and a short skirt with a large belt.

Girl: Were here! Ned! Were here! We made it! Woo hoo! *Her accent was Australian

*a beefy, serious looking man with a black vest and wild purple hair was looking at a map*

Ned: *also with the same accent* Well wadaya know? We should be flying over Pallet Town. Viridian is not far from here. Should take us another hour at least.

Girl: Yay! Oooh! I'm so exited!

Ned: Settle down Kelly. Your nearly shaking the plane.

Kelly: Sorry.

*a woman's voice crackled through the intercom*

Voice: Kelly, can you please stop bouncing around. I don't want this plane to crash now that we're so close.

*Kelly pressed a red button and spoke into a microphone*

Kelly: Uh, how did you know it was me?

Voice: Take a wild guess.

Ned: We won't bother you any more Boss.

Voice: Thank you.

*the plane flew over Viridian Forest until it came to an isolated building in the forest. The building was the Team Rocket Head Quaters.*

Loudspeaker: Incoming flight, clear the runway.

*heaps of Team Rocket members started preparing for the landing. Giovanni, the Boss, came out with his Persian slinking by his side. The plane landed. Ned and Kelly stepped out, then out came the woman. She had brown shoulder length hair, a long white dress, and a black long sleeved open jacket, cut short above the stomach. Her facial features were strangely similar to Jessie's*

Giovanni: Welcome to Kanto. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Woman: Thank you Giovanni.

*The four walked down the hallway. Kelly, being the curious girl she is, was poking about nearly everything that she sees. They stopped before a large door*

Giovanni: ...and this is where we store all of our Pokemon.

*he pressed his hand against a plaque. The plaque turned green*

Voice: Access, granted.

Woman: Nice security system.

Giovanni: The best. And quite effective too. I was always forgetting my password.

*the huge steel doors opened. A massive room was filled with PokeBalls, Great Balls and more.*

Giovanni: We have well over 170 different types of Pokemon, and over 1000 Pokemon. More than the best research labs.

Woman: *picks up a PokeBall* Impressive. Mind if I...?

Giovanni: Go right ahead.

*she released the Pokemon from inside the PokeBall. It was a Vulpix*

Vulpix: Vul-pi!

Woman: Hmmm.*she released one of her own Pokemon. It too was a Vulpix* Now this is interesting.

*she examined the colouring. Her Vulpix was a slightly different colour* Must be the climate that makes each Pokemon's colour differ.

Giovanni: You must have quite an extensive knowledge about Pokemon. As a matter of fact, you can enlighten me and some others at tonight's banquet.

Woman: Tonight? A banquet?

Giovanni: Yes. We are holding one in you honor. We don't get important visitors like you everyday.

*Kelly walked up to them with a wobbly Tentacool on her head*

Kelly: Look at me! I'm an alien!

Woman: Uh, i'm...flattered. *pushes the "alien" away*

*They walked out the door*

Giovanni: You should find your rooms down that hallway. I would show you to them personally, but I have many things to attend to immediately. You'd understand. It's a job like ours that needs constant attention.

Woman: Of course.

Giovanni: See you tonight then, at the main hall. Come, Persian.

Persian: Perrrrowwwww *the Persian slinked off behind him*

Woman: *she stood there for a while* I can't believe I'm back here. I knew I couldn't avoid it for so long. Maybe, it's fate. *She sighed* I'll probably get back home before I see them again. That's a relief. *She picked up her cases and walked to the door* But it would be nice to see Jess again. *She smiled, and opened the door*

Kelly: Heeeeee! The beach!

*Ned and Kelly snuck out for the afternoon to go to Pallet Beach. Kelly ran into the surf with her surfboard*

Kelly: The waves are huge!*she called out to Ned* get in you big oaf! The water is fii-ohwhoah! Whoa!! *she came off her board in a moment of distraction. She surfaced and had a look at what distracted her.* And the guys aren't bad either! *She ran over to a tall guy who was busy with some frends of his.*

Friend 1: So this is your new car, huh?

Guy: Yeah! Great, huh?

Friend 2: Ooh! Can't wait till I get my own set of wheels, Brock!

Brock: Well, your gonna have to wait a little longer.

Friend 1: Can we go for a spin later? I wanna get some stuff at Viridian.

Brock: Sure, Ash.

Friend 2: Me too!

Brock: Of course!

Ash: Why do I get the feeling I'm gonna be stuck with her for the rest of my life? *he pointed to Friend 2*

Brock: You know Misty. You tried to get rid of her by giving her a replacement bike but to her that was just a sign that you care about her, even if it was or not. It just made her more attached to you.

Ash: Remind me never to replace anything of hers that I break, ever again.

Brock: That's just the way girls are. I'm afraid we will never understand... *his attention wandered* ...them. E-Excuse me, Ash. *he walked over to Kelly.* Hello. My name is Brock. What's your name? *he was using his flirting voice*

Kelly: Hi Brock, I'm Kelly. *she too had a flirting voice*

Brock: A lovely name for a lovely young lady.

Kelly: *blushing* Thank you.

Brock: I _love_ a girl with an accent, like your's.

Kelly: Why, thank you. I like yours too. When can I hear more of it...

Brock: *his face did that shiny red thing like usual* Eh he.

*they walked off*

Ash: He'll never change. *Sweat dropping*

Misty: *muttering to herself* take notes... take notes...

*Ned walked up to Kelly. He started blushing once he saw her and Brock making out*

Ned: Uh. Sorry to interrupt your colourful conversation but I think it's time we should get going.

Kelly: *momentarily breaking free* Just a little bit lo-

Ned: No! Were running late as it is.

Kelly: Ok. *she wrote out a phone number* Call me...*she said as she was dragged off by her brother.*

Brock: *goofy grin on his face* Eh hehe. Hehe. *he fell face first into the sand.*
