Part 2.7

*James woke up. He looked out the plane window. He saw snow covered mountains.*

James: Where are we?

Pilot: We're in Australia. We will be landing soon.

James: We're here? *He sighed in relief* I thought the trip would never end! *He got dressed. The plane landed in a valley. James stepped out* Aah! Here at last! *He picked up his suitcase and walked to a taxi* Um, take me to...*he looked at a piece of paper* "Charmander Ranch".

Driver: *he gave him a weird look* Sure. *The car drove for another few hours. He finally came to a gate.* This is it. Don't know why you're commin' here. The place was closed up years ago.

James: *was this really the place?* Oh, well, you see, I'm uh, thinking of buying some property. *he gave him some money* Thank you.

Driver: No worries. See ya.

*James looked at the driveway. He couldn't see the end.* Drat. Now I have to walk. *He picked up the suitcase and started walking*

Jessie: No! Nonononononononnono! No way! Not gonna happen! Uh, uh.

Giovanni: He's the only one avaliable.

Jessie: But I can't. Belive me! Do I have to be nice to him?

Giovanni: Of course. Treat him how you treated James.

Meowth: Hope he has insurance.

Jessie: Are you sure he's the only one left?

Giovanni: He needs an experienced person to show him how it's done.

Jessie: *throwing her arms up in the air* Why me? Of all the people! Me! This is all James' fault I'm paired with, a, a...

Ash: *walking in* Hey! This Team Rocket stuff is pretty cool, dad! I made five kids cry and...*he saw Jessie and made a makeshift crucifix with his fingers* Ahhh! Stay back!

Giovanni: Ash, this is your new partner.

Jessie: ...a twerp.

Ash: *he looked at Jessie* Oh, no! Nonononononononnono! No way! Not gonna happen! Not her! Please, anyone but her.

Giovanni: Stop acting like babies, the both of you.

Ash: *jumping up and down and stomping his feet* I am not acting like a baby!

*Jessie and Ash sat in separate chairs and faced away from each other*

J&A: Hmph!

Meowth: Dis is gonna be a long day.

Pikachu: Chuuuu.

Meowth: Wanna grab a pizza?

Pikachu: *nodding* Pika!

*They walked off leaving Jessie and Ash to their fight*

Giovanni: Ash, Jessie, you have to be partners.

Ash: And I was just starting to enjoy things.

Giovanni: I'm glad you like it.

Ash: Wait a second... where's James?

Jessie: He quit. It's his fault were partners. Oooh, why I could just...

Ash: It's James' fault?! Why that son of a...

Jessie: My feelings exactly.

Ash: ...I know how we can get out of this mess!

Jessie: I'm listening.

Ash: We just go find James.

Jessie: Oh, yeah! Let's go get him! We'll show him what Team Rocket can do!

Ash: We'll teach him not to mess with us.

Jessie: To the airport! *They ran off*

*Giovanni just sat there, mouth open*

Giovanni: Well, uh, I , guess I solved another problem. *He squinted then continued his work*

James: *after an hour of walking* This is crazy! Maybe i'm at the wrong place. *He fell down* Growlie, please annotate my final words.

Growlie: Growwwwl.

James: You mean you don't have any paper?

Growlie: Growl.

James: Or a pen?

Growlie: Growl Growl.

James: And you don't even know how to write?

Growlie: Growooool.

James: *He remembered why he was walking in the first place* Grr. I can't give up! Not when i'm so close! *He got up and started walking again. He walked over a hill and saw a huge set of buildings* This is it! I've made it! *He looked around. He saw huge fence and a guarded gate.* How am I going to get in.

Charmander: Char!

James: *He saw some Charmander comming towards him* What's this? *The Charmander looked at James. They started calling out.*

Charmander: Chaaaar! Charmaaander!

James: What's going on? *Two Charmeleon walked up to him. They grabbed his arm and led him to a rock. They lifted the rock up. Underneath was a passageway.*

Charmeleon: Chaar.*they pointed to the passage.*

James: You want me to go down there?

*The Charmander and Chameleon nodded their heads*

Cmd&Cml: Char Char.

James: *peeking in* I can't see a thing! *A familiar looking Charmander made it's way through the crowd* Hey! Your...will you help me get through the tunnel?

Kimba: *it nodded* Char Char!

James: My lucky day! *They walked into the tunnel*

James: *They turned the corner and came to a door. noticed a small light* Is this...? *he opened it. They were at the back of a building* Ah! Were inside!

Kimba: Chaar. *He walked around the house*

James: *following after it* H-hey! Wait! *He saw the Charmander at the door. It knocked on the door*

Kimba: Charmander! *The door opened*

Jennifer: Kimba! What are you...?

Kimba: Chaaar! *It pointed to James. He stood there smiling at her*

Jen: *she gasped* James!? *she ran up to him and tightly embaced him* What are you doing here?

James: *laughing* Why do you think i'm here?

Jen: *looking at him smiling* Do you ever give up! Ha ha ha-! *she stopped, then drew herself away from him* Mmm...*she laid her hand on the lower of her stomach*

James: *he went up to her and laid his hand on her sholder* What's wrong?

Jen: *she looked up at him and shook her head* I don't know, James. I feel so...sick. *She bent back down for an few more seconds then got back up* James.

James: What's happening?

Jen: I need to talk with you, inside. It's very important.

*They walked in, while two familiar faces walked past*

Kelly: Pst! Ned! Did you see who I think I saw?

Ned: If you think the person you thought was the person who I thought he was, then yes.

Kelly: What's he doing here?

Ned: Haven't you been paying attention this last minute?! He's come back for the Boss, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Kelly: Oh... ...OH! I get it.

Ned: After years of painful research, experimenting and excruciating tests...

Kelly: *She smiled* How sweet! *She turned around, suddenly sad* If only Brock could do the same for me. *She sighed* I wish I could see him again.

Ned: Give me a break.
