Part 2.12

Jessie: Wow. What a battle. If you stayed at home, Team Rocket would have no problem!

Jen: *she picked up three PokeBalls* I should take these guys home for a rest. A little rest and they'll be feeling better in no- *The PokeBalls dropped to the ground. She doubled over moaning. Another sick spell* ..oh.

Jessie: Jen! What's wrong?

James: Oh. *he came over to her placing one hand on her sholder* You don't look too well. Here. We'll get you home.

Jen: Thanks.

Jessie: What's the matter with her?

James: Ummm...We'll explain later. Right now we have to get her home.

Jessie: Was it something she ate?

James: No...

Jen: A-ah! *She held on tighter to James* It's-get-ting-worse!

James: This is bad. *In his thoughts, James swore many times* (Don't tell me she's going to lose it. Please, no. The battle. She had to take it easy. I can't belive I let her do this. She can't lose it.) *he looked down at Jennifer, who was in extreme pain* (Whoever did this to her will be sorry)

Misty: Ash, you have to come back. Your mum is worried about you.

Ash: You don't get it, Misty. I can't go back now. Now that i'm in Team Rocket...

Misty: Things have changed. Everything was so perfect until your dad came into this.

Ash: Yeah, things have been messed up a bit, haven't they?

Misty: More like alot.

Tracey: Hey!

Ash: Here they come.

Tracey: They said you were in Team Rocket.

Brock: What's up with that?

Ash: *he looked at Misty, then sighed* Yes, i'm in Team Rocket.

Brock: What?! You are?!

Tracey: Why?

Ash: I was tricked into joining. They had Pikachu, and the only way to get it back was to join the Team.

Brock: That is sneaky.

Ash: But that's not all. The Boss of Team Rocket is my dad.

Tracey: Your dad?!

Brock: *he was surrounded by darkness* I know just how it feels to have a no good father like yours. He left my mother... he left me to take care of my brothers and sisters by myself. I'll never forgive him...

Ash: Listen. I don't know what I should do. I have to make a decision that is really important to me and to others.

Brock: Ash is right. His mum won't be too happy about all of this.

Ash: I really enjoy time with dad, even though...

Tracey: This is hard...

Misty: Well, I think Ash can do this. If he really belives he can. Things have always worked out for us, haven't they?

Ash: Almost. Brock? What do you think I should do?

Brock: *he shook his head* This is your desision, Ash. Only you can make it. I might be able to give you some advice though...

Ash: Please! Anything!

Brock: Just consider what _you_ value. Would you choose your mum, who you've known all your life? or your dad, who you haven't, but enjoy the time you have with him, *he shrugged* even though he is the head of an evil organization.

Ash: Thanks. I'll think about that. *He got up* I need to do some serious thinking. *Misty smiled and opened her mouth, but Tracey stopped her from going futher*

Brock: I didn't know Kelly was in Team Rocket until today, but I still love her!

Misty: That'd be right.

Ash: Listen. I'll need to be alone for a while, if that's ok.

Tracey: Sure, Ash.

Misty: We'll go find someplace to stay.

Ash: I'll ask the Boss here to arrange something for you all.

Misty: *still trying to get used to the fact that Ash was in Team Rocket* Thanks.

Jessie: Will she be ok?

James: I think so. *He frowned* She's been in there for a while. I'm getting worried about her...

Jessie: *she thoughtfully smiled, then turned serious* So, James. What's wrong with her?

James: Well, uh, nothing is wrong.

Jessie: Then how come she's been in the bathroom for 15 minutes?

James: Ahh, well...

Jessie: Hmm. *She walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it* Hello? Jen? Are you Ok in there? Jen? *She pressed her ear on the door* ...ooh. *She opened the door, then stepped back with a wide open mouth, shaking* J-J-J-James! C-come here!

James: (This is not good) *he rushed to the door of the bathroom. He gasped as he saw Jennifer, crouched up near a far corner, crying and struggling. But it wan't only that that had disturbed him. Lying there in the bathroom, was what appeared to be a fully pregnant woman. Errkk...something is awfully wrong 'round here*

Jessie: I think this explains everything then.

James: You think this explains everything?! One minute you could barely tell, and the next...*he waved his hand over towards Jennifer who lay on the hospital bed* You think everything is explained?!

Jessie: Well, when you think about it, it doesn't really make any sense. Just calm down, you're yelling.

James: *He shook his head at Jessie*

Jessie: *she stroked Jennifer's forehead and smiled* I was wondering how long it would be until you caved, James.

James: Huh?

Jessie: You know what I mean. Why else would you come back?

James: I...uh...

Jessie: Did it happen here, or back home? Jennifer told me nothing happened during that camping trip, but Iiiii could tell...

James: *his face reddened* That's not-!! *He remembered what Jennifer had told him*

Jen: I need you to help me with this.

James: Why me?

Jen: Because nobody will think that it's anyone elses.

James: Is that really how people think of you and, uh, me?

Jen: The fact that you came here is bound to set that story straight.

Jessie: I don't blame you. Beauty does run in our family, *she went into her typical self-absorbed state* although clearly I got the most of it.

James: *he looked at Jennifer for a while* (They really do think that way. She was right. *he smiled* Maybe she wants it that way. But I can't find out now. When will I know that she really cares about me?)

Jennifer: *she blinked her eyes open and looked at James. She smiled*

James: Your awake!

Jen: I felt a bit sore so I woke up. *She looked around* Uh oh. Hospital?

James: *he nodded* You fainted on the way. Jess and I brought you here.

Jen: *she looked over to Jessie and smiled* Does she know?

James: I think it's pretty obvious. *He motioned towards her stomach area which was now quite big*

Jen: Oh. I see...

Jessie: So, uh, how are you feeling? *Trying not to show her confusion about this whole thing*

Jen: I'm ok, except for this pain that woke me up. I just don't know why it grew that quickly. Maybe its a part of this whole thing.

Jessie: What do you mean, "this whole thing"?

Jen: *looking at James* You didn't tell her?

James: Not that part.

Jessie: What did you forget to tell me?

James: Well, Jess. As much as you insisted that it happened, it didn't.

Jessie: What?... *blinking* ...you mean... James isn't...

Jen: *shaking her head*

Jessie: Then who...?

James: We don't know. Its one big mystery. Who knows what happened?

Jessie: Weird. Maybe someone has done something to you when you didn't know...(*they all looked at each other*

All: The hospital!

Jen: I remember waking up in the hospital bed and feeling pretty weird. Remember the morning when we captured Pikachu? I felt sick and I didn't know why.

Jessie: I remember that.

Jen: Then a few days after that, I kept on getting sick. I didn't know what was wrong with me.

Jessie: Then why didn't you tell us?

Jen: I didn't want anyone else to know. Otherwise I might've stayed over there for longer than I should have.

James: That's right. You couldn't stay longer.

Jessie: Let's find out who did this! They'll be sorry!
