TRA
Part 2.4
*They came to the headquaters. Ash got heaps of looks from the TR members. As he passed, words "Boss" and "son" were mentioned frequently. Everytime he looked at Jessie and James he instinctivly reached for a PokeBall. Ash had finaly settled down*
James: Here we are.
Jessie: Scared?
Ash: Very funny.
Pikachu: Piiii.
*They entered Giovanni's office*
Giovanni: *he smiled* Ash, my boy. How have you been?
Ash: *he remembered back to looking at one of the photos in his house. This man before him looked like that guy in the wedding photo* You, you are my father. *He looked back at Jessie and James* They were telling the truth.
Giovanni: Please leave. I would like to talk with my son in private.
Jessie&James: Yes, Boss.
Jen: Right away. *They left the room*
Giovanni: Your skills as a Pokemon trainer are impressive. You will be a valuable addition to the Team.
Ash: I will never be part of Team Rocket!
Giovanni: *sighed* I knew you would be like that. I guess you leave us no choice. We will have your Pikachu.
Ash: Your never getting Pikachu!
Giovanni: Then join my team. You'll have alot of fun.
Ash: *he didn't know what to say*
Giovanni: Fine...think about it. Tell me in an hour. Then, if you refuse my offer, Pikachu is ours. You may leave now.
Ash: *turned to leave*
Giovanni: Don't do anything stupid now, we have our eyes on you.
Ash: Whatever...*he walked out of the dark room*
*Misty caught up with him*
Misty: What did he want?
Ash: They've got me.
Misty: Explain.
Ash: They said I have to join Team Rocket, or Pikachu is theirs. I wouldn't give Pikachu up for anything.
Misty: This is bad. So, what are you going to do?
Ash: *he thought about it, and made up his mind. Then looked at her* Their not having Pikachu.
Misty: Ash, no...
Ash: I have to do it. There's no other option.
Misty: *nodded* Be careful...
*Ash went to Giovanni*
Giovanni: Now, have you made your decision?
Ash: I have.
Giovanni: Well...?
Ash: I've decided... ...that I will join Team Rocket.
Giovanni: Good boy. I know you made the right choice.
Jessie: Success at last! *She popped open the bottle left from the other day*
James: We're finaly the victor!
Meowth: Horray!
*They clinked their glasses*
Jen: *she weakly smiled* It's nice to have that victory you've worked hard for.
James: What's wrong? You don't look happy.
Jen: Hmm... ...I've done my job here. I-I have to go back home.
James: What?! *He knocked over his glass* Can't you stay?!
Jen: *she looked down* It would be too risky. I told you why I left in the first place so...I can't stay any longer.
James: *he looked away* ...and there's nothing you can do.
Jen: You understand.
Jessie: Oh! I'll miss you! *She hugged Jennifer*
Jen: I'll miss you too. *She looked at James* James?
James: *he got up and walked away*
Jessie: This must be hard for him.
Jen: I didn't excpect that reaction from him, after what I told him.
Jessie: Told him what?
Jen: Hmm? Oh, nothing important.
Jessie: It is important and I know it.
Jen: *she looked off into the distance*
Jessie: What did he tell you?
Jen: *she looked at Jessie, then away* It's none of your buisiness.
Jessie: Did he tell you...he loved you?
Jen: *she buisied herself with nothing in particular* As I said, it's none of your buisiness.
Jessie: ...what did you tell him.
Jen: *she turned around sharply* Just drop it, ok. *She looked at Jessie then looked down at the table* I said that...I told him I...*she looked to the side* ...I didn't love him.
Jessie: *she sat there open mouthed* What did you say?
Jen: *she looked off hiding her face*
Jessie: I thought that you liked him, Jen. I saw the way you acted around him. You...
Jen: *she snapped at her* That was in the past! *She settled back down in her seat*
Jessie: *she looked at her cousin for a moment* Your lying. I know you are.
Jen: I...I...I need to go pack my bags for tomorrow. *She got up out of her chair and walked to the door. She sighed* I just made it easier for him to let go, when this day came. Please don't tell him I did this. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt him. *She walked out of the room*
