Part 1.4

*Jennifer and James walked along the hall. Meowth came around the corner*

Meowth: *looking at them* Dere you are! Where have ya been?

James: *he floundered* Uh, well...

Jen: James was told to show me around the place. A sight-seeing tour.

Meowth: *noticing the vaugly familiar Growlithe next to James* Sure. *He remembered why he was looking for them* Listen! *He pointed to Jennifer* Your guys picked up some info by accident. Follow me.

James: *he looked at Jennifer* Huh?

Jennifer: *she shrugged her shoulders and followed after Meowth*

James: They're related!?

Kelly: It's true! You can ask him yourself if you don't believe me.

James: We believe you, it's just that it's so... un believable.

Jen: Hmm...*she pointed to Ash on the photo* So, it was him who defeated Team Rocket... *she thought for a moment*

James: Our worst enemy is the son of our Boss. It makes you think.

Meowth: You don't wanna be strainin' ya brain ova dat, Jim.

James: *he ignored Meowth* If he and the Pikachu weren't in the goody-goody life, Team Rocket would be unstoppable.

Jen: *she stopped thinking and looked at James* ...that--is---brilliant!! James! I have a plan. We'll go to Giovanni and tell him. *She got up and started towards the door*

James: *he grabbed Jennifer's hand* Wait. I may not be in her good books, but we have to tell Jessie. And you need to tell her something as well, remember?

Jen: *she nodded* Oh, right.

*they knocked on Jessie's door*

Jessie: Who is it?

James: It's me. Jess. Are you ok to talk?

Jessie: Go away.

James: It's important. Very important.

Jessie: Leave me alone.

Jen: Um, Jessie.

Jessie: ...

Jen: I know you can hear me, so I want to tell you something. That fight we had ages ago, I didn't run away because of that. I would never leave you. You were my best friend. Please, open the door. Jess, i'm sorry.

*The door opened a little bit*

James: Please Jess. I can't stand to see you unhappy. It makes me feel bad as well. I haven't seen you for ages and Jennifer, even more. Please....

Jessie: *opens the door and wipes a tear from your eye* You're both really pathetic. All this mushy stuff...

James: *he laughed and shrugged* That's Jessie.

*Jessie came out from the door and hugged him*

Jessie: I'm sorry too.*she looked at Jennifer* Sorry I acted like an idiot and made everyone sad.

Jen: Don't worry. As long as you're happy we are too. *Jessie came up to her and hugged her*

Jessie: Now, what did you want to talk about?

James: You better get inside, Jess. What you hear may shock you. *They went in*

Jessie: THE TWERP! THE BOSS! *She sat there stunned*

James: Please don't yell, Jess.

Jessie: Should we ask him about it?

James: We were going to...

Jessie: Then why not!

Jen: We decided to tell you first.

Jessie: Just as well you did! I have the hottest gossip in town! Ahahahaha!

James&Jen: *sweatdropping*

*They walked down the hall with a serious look on their faces.*

Meowth: *comes around a corner and sees them* Hey! I was just about to- *James picked him up by the tail, still keeping the serious face* Hey! Let Meowth go! I didn't do anytin' wrong!

Jessie: Shut up, Meowth

Meowth: Yes ma'am.

*They stormed into his office. Giovanni sat up.*

Giovanni: What is the meaning of this? *He looked at them* (Butch was right. Jennifer was in someway associated with this moron, James)

Jessie: *slammed the photo down on his desk*

James: Explain.

*Meowth went off to pick fights with Persian*

Giovanni: *picked up the photo* Deliah... Where did you get this?

Jessie: You know that Pikachu you so badly wanted?

Giovanni: ...Yes. Why?

James: *Pointed to another photo with Ash and Pikachu* This is her son. That is his Pikachu.

Giovanni: ...that- that's, Ash, my son.

Jessie: *mock surprise* He's your what?

Giovanni: My son. The boy is my son. *He looked a the photo* Wait! The trainer with the Pikachu who defeated my Team. Was it him? My son did that? *he sat there stunned*

Jen: He's a very strong trainer. So are his Pokemon. He would be very valuable for the Team.

Giovanni: Yes, but how are we going to get him to join after what happened?

Jen: If we can get our hands on Pikachu, we'll give it back to him.

Giovanni: That is just, stupid!

Jen: *in a Jessie tone of voice* You didn't let me finish!

Giovanni: *shrinking back. Persian let out a cat-like scream*

Jen: Ahem, we give the Pikachu back to him, iiiiif, he joins Team Rocket.

James: ... *blinked* ...of course!*he briefly flashed back*

Jezebel: Ma Vileplume!

Jen: Ha! If your Vileplume moves around it will get fried! Are you sure you want that to happen?

Jezebel: Ma precious Vileplume! Whadda ya want!

Jen: Release James and I'll release Vileplume.

Jezebel: But...I...Uh...

Jen: I would make a decision know. Your Vileplume is getting nervous.

Jezebel: Ok! Ok! I'll do it.

James: *flashback end* (So that's what she's planning.)

Giovanni: Hmmm, that's a good idea...but I see one flaw in the plan...

Jen: What's that?

Giovanni: How are we supposed to get the Pikachu that beat us in the first place?!

Jen: I guess I didn't think of that.

Giovanni: Anyhow, him and his dim-witted partner couldn't even get the thing, even when it was just starting out.

Jessie: *mumbling* I _am_ in the room.

Jen: *she sighed* Sorry Giovanni. I don't really have any other plans.

Giovanni: *he sat back down in his chair* No, it's alright. It was a very good plan. Unfortunately, it wont work. Sorry I dragged you far away from your Team when ours clearly has no hope for the future. *He reached into his drawer and pulled out a chequebook* Here's something for your trouble. *He handed her the cheque*

James: *he heard what was being said, and he knew what it meant. If they had no plan to revive Team Rocket, Jennifer was...* Wait!

Jen: James?

Giovanni: What is it?

James: Have you heard anything that the twerp, uh, Ash, has done recently? Has he won any competitions or anything?

Giovanni: ...no?

James: Neither have I.

Jen: James what are you doing?

James: *he looked at her* Don't worry. I've got it sorted out. He must have been taking it easy for the last 3 years. His Pikachu would be easier to capture.

Giovanni: *smiled* That's an excellent plan.

James: *rubbing his neck* Well, it only just popped into my mind.

Giovanni: Now, how would we get him to come to us?

*Blank faces all around*

Jen: ...umm. How about one huge battle.

James: Like the Pokemon League?

Jen: That's right! Only the elite masters may participate. What has this "Ash" done to be so great?

Giovanni: *He turned towards his computer* Hmmmm.... *he searched through it for a few moments* ...Aah. He's defeated the Orange Crew. No one else has since then.

Jen: Perfect! Do you have authorization with the Pokemon League.

Giovanni: Yes.

Jen: Excellent! This will work out better than we thought. Now, we organize the event.

Giovanni: I can see why you're Boss. I'm glad I chose you to help us.

Jen: Ah, It's nothing.

*Jessie and James looked at each other*

Js&Jms: Boss?

Giovanni: We will prepare everything. Thank you for your help, Jennifer. And yours too, James.

Jen: It's my pleasure.

James: *bowing slightly* Sir.

Giovanni: *he smiled* (Perfect...) James, you a relived from your duties for a week.

James: Thank you, sir!

Jessie: (What about me?)

*They walked out of the room. As they did, Jessie saw the rose in Jennifer's hand. She looked up at James and shook her head*

Jessie: Oh, well...

Giovanni: Easy. I've made my choice. Butch was right. The perfect two for the job. *He laughed and picked up the photos* That's my boy. I knew I brought him up right, even if I was barely there in his childhood.*He leaned back in his chair and laughed* Mwahahahahahahahahaha-oh-ah, waaahhh!! *He leaned back too far and fell off the chair* Oh, darn. I do hope no-one saw that.
