::This is where things really get going! Expect violence, drama, comedy, clichés, romantic soppyness, and mexican food! ...Mmm...well, maybe not the food, but we're working on it! Enjoy the last part of our Team Rocket Story! ARGH! Now onto the story before I get carried away!::
Asahi
*Jennifer sat in the bed. The only source of light from the morning sun shone on her through the hospital window. Usually, she'd think of what it would be like to enjoy the fresh air, but for now, her mind was occupied on the small, peaceful child that lay in her arms. She too felt peaceful whenever he was near. Even though she didn't know where it came from, (well, not litterally, she knew where it came from and IT WAS A NIGHTMARE! But...you have to read the earlier parts to know what we're talking about!) she would love it as any mother would love a child. She looked up as she heard someone come into the room*
Jen: *she smiled* Hi, James.
James: Hi. *He looked a bit akward after last night*
Jen: What's wrong?
James: I uh...
Jen: *she looked at him smugly* What?
James: Well... ...*he cried out* that was the most truly disgusting experience in my life!
Jen: *she rolled her eyes* Oh...that. I supposed you haven't seen him since he looked like a wrinkly little alien, haven't you?
James: No. *He looked at the sleeping child* Your certainly alot calmer since we last met. *He looked at Jennifer* Both of you.
Jen: Here. *She offered him the baby* Hold him.
James: Me? *He picked it up and rested it in his arms* Well, I haven't really held a- *the childs eyes blinked open* ahh!...please don't cry, please don't cry! *The baby just looked at him and blinked*
Jen: *she joked* He has your eyes.
James: *he gave Jennifer a weird look, then looked at the childs dark green eyes* No he doesn't...*he held the newborn for a while longer, then gave it back to Jennifer* I should go get Jessie. She'd want to see it.
Jen: Sure. Oh, and can you ring Ned or Kelly about this?
James: *he nodded* I'll tell them. *He walked out the door*
Misty: I wonder if Ash has made his decision yet.
Tracey: These things take time, Misty.
Brock: This is a very complicated situation Ash is in.
Misty: Ahh, I will take years for him to figure it out!
Tracey: I suppose that's true.
Kelly: Hey! Brock! *A girl about Brock's age with long pink hair came running up to him*
Brock: Hi, Kelly. *They kissed, for quite sometime*
Kelly: Brock, something has happened to the Boss. I have to go to the hospital.
Brock: What's wrong?
Kelly: Well, its kinda hard to explain. Apparently, James told me that, well, last night she gave birth to a son.
Tracey: What?
Misty: That's impossible! During the battle a few days ago she was fine. *She stood in thought* Although I did hear James telling her to take it easy...
Brock: Hmmm, we'll come with you, Kel. We should go check things out.
Shukuji
*James came in with Jessie. Jessie hurried over to her cousin with excitement*
Jessie: Oh! Wow. He's beautiful!
Jen: *she smiled at her cousin* I know.
Jessie: *holding out her hands* May I?
Jen: Of course. *She wondered if it was the first time that Jessie didn't care about all the attention focused on someone else. She gave the child to Jessie, who held him like she'd been doing it for years*
Jessie: *she looked at James* He has your eyes.
James: Why do they keep saying that.
Jen: *she looked off* Uh oh. James, who answered the phone when you told Ned and Kelly about this?
James: Ah, Kelly answered...*Jennifer rested a hand on her head* Have I done something wrong?
Jen: *she finaly gave James a forgiving look* No, its ok. *James saw what she meant when a whole group of visitors came into the room, Kelly being the most enthusiastic*
Kelly: What a cutie! Oh, its absolutely gorgeous! *Brock listened with a worried look on his face*
Ned: Brock's in trouble.
Brock: Eh-heh.*reddened*
Misty: He's such a beautiful boy! *All three women huddled over the small boy cooing and making noises that would be amusing to a newborn. I.e. WIGGY WOO WOO BAABAA WOOBIEGOO!! Ahem.*
Tracey: Ash's in trouble.
Misty: *as red as Brock* What did you say?!
Tracey: Nothing. I said nothing.
Ash: *looking over at the child* Hey, it kinda has James' eyes.
James: Oooh....
Ned: They're a bit, darker though.*James was relived that at least someone thought the opposite way* More like a mix of both Jennifer's and James. *James was relived no more*
James: This isn't funny. First it was her, then the nurses, the Jessie... * James looked over at Jennifer and noticed the tired look in her eyes*
James: Um, sorry about this, and I know your all excited, but I think someone needs some sleep. *Jen lightly smiled*
Kelly: Aww, the poor baby is tired.
James: Its not just the baby...*they looked over to the tired mother in the bed. They understood and gave the child to James*
Jessie: I'll call again later, ok?
Jen: Ok, Jess. *Jessie and the group walked out the door*
Hon yakusoku
James: *he sighed with relief and put the baby into its small bed beside Jennifer* I should go get some sleep too.
Jen: Ask the nurse for a bed.
James: Why?
Jen: Don't you want to spend the night here?
James: ...I'll stay. *The baby started crying* ....well?
Jen: Maybe you should start getting used to it, James.
James: *frowning* That's not a good sign.
Jen: *laughing* You'll be fine.
James: *sighing* I'm too young for this. *He picked up the wailing baby and started calming it down* Sshhhh...
Jen: Isn't the term "too old"?
James: No, i'm too young to be a responsible parent.
Jen: *they spoke quieter when they talked about their secret* Your _not_ the responsible parent. I am. Your just, well, the father, for now. *She lightened* Maybe you can be the irresponsible parent! Hee hee!
James: Hmmm......*he sighed sadly*
Jen: What's wrong?
James: ...I just wish that I was his father. *He slowly laid the calm baby back in the crib*
Jen: You do?
James: ...*rubbing his neck* ...well, yeah, mabye.
Jen: *smiling* That's ok. Come sit down. *James sat down on the bed, and Jennifer raised the head of the bed*
James: You know you can lift your head up by yourself.
Jen: Its not everyday you get a bed like this. *She started playing with the controls* Head goes down, head goes up, head goes down, head goes-*the legs went up instead of the head*
James: Hey!
Jen: Sorry. *She lowered her legs, and raised her head again* Its fun!
James: So what were you going to say? Something important, no doubt.
Jen: What could be more important than this? Head goes down, head goes up...*she smiled at James, who finally cracked a smile* There you go! Keep it like that. No more Mr.Grumpy-wumpy.
James: You're sounding too motherly. That isn't like you.
Jen: Oh, well. Now, there was something I was supposed to tell you...let me think...*James grabbed the bed control before she could* Aww...oh well. I'll trrrry to remember without it. Now listen to me. *She grabbed his hands to make sure he was looking at her* If you want to be his father, I wont stop you. I didn't use you as a cover up. *Her face softened* I wanted you to take care of him with me. I know that, whether or not your his father, you'll be a great one.
James: *he starred at her for a while and then smiled* Thank you. I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mother as well.
Jen: *she laughed*
James: What?
Jen: That word.
James: That word?
Jen: Years ago, when I was about 15, this really handsome young man told me I was wonderful...
James: *he blushed slightly* Really?
Jen: *she smiled at him and nodded* He held me in a way that made me feel safe, made me feel like I was loved. I wish I could see him again...
James: *he laughed and wrapped his arms around her* He'll be there for you when you need him. Just let him know that.
Jen: *she smiled* Thank you, James...but I'm not the one who needs him.
James: *he was puzzled about what she said* What do you mean?
Jen: I already know i'm loved...*she looked up at James and smiled* ...but someone else doesn't know. She needs someone to tell her that. *James knew who she was talking about, and it was pretty obvious as well. He nodded in understanding*
James: Why don't you get some sleep now?
Jen: *she whispered* Here's nice....
James: *James placed one of his hands on her head and slowly ran his fingers along her brown hair. He felt her fingers stroking his sholder dreamily and her breath lightly touching his neck. He'd never felt so close to someone as he did now. After a while, her fingers stopped moving and her breathing pattern became slower and deeper. He looked down and saw her sleeping. He smiled and lay her back down on the bed. He brushed her fringe away, bent down and slowly kissed her forehead. He got up and walked out the door to find a bed for the night*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oikakeru
*James walked down the hall with one red rose in his hand and a large Snorlax doll wedged under his arm. Today was the day Jennifer and the baby leave the hospital. He stopped on the way to look inside the nursery for the child. He saw a doctor and a nurse walking towards the small plastic cot. They saw Jennifer's baby and picked it up. James watched them with confusion. The two nodded and walked off with the child. James thought he'd heard their voices before. They looked familiar too*
James: ...*shrugging* (They're probably getting the baby for Jennifer while she packs) *he walked down the hall and into her room where she was laying on the bed in her normal black jacket and white dress, getting her last fix of "bed goes up, bed goes down" before it was taken away from her. She stopped as she saw James walk in the room. She jumped off*
Jen: James!
James: Were you expecting someone else? *He handed her the rose and she accepted it*
Jen: Who's this for?
James: *he held out the Snorlax* A present for Blaze. Will he like it?
Jen: Of course he will! *Jennifer decided the name "Blaze" for her new boy. She took the toy and placed it near the suitcase*
James: Can I help you carry that?
Jen: *she waved her hand up and down in front of her* Its alright. *She picked them up* Well, shall we get him?
James: ...what?
Jen: What do you mean, "what?" *she winked one eye and spoke with exageration* Your ssssooooooon. Are we going to get Blaze?
James: ...but I thought you had two doctors get him for you...
Jen: No. What are you talking about, James?
James: ...hmmm...urgh, shit. (It can't be. Why would they...)
Jen: James?
Jessie: *she burst in with fury* You would not belive who just insulted me, James.
James: *he clenched his fist in realisation* (Try me.)
Jessie: ...that no good, Cassidy! Oooh, why I could just-. *James shot past her and ran down the hall* ...uh...*she looked at Jennifer* What's up?
Jen: *she frowned* Somethings not right. *she dropped the bags, grabbed Jessie's wrist and ran after James*
James: *he burst through the door and out of the hospital, just in time to see a black car sprint away* Damn it!
Jen: *running through the door* James! What's happened?
James: *catching his breath* Cassidy and Butch took Blaze.
Jen: *she stood there in shock* N-n-no. *She nelt on the ground and buried her face in her hands*
Jessie: That rotten Cassidy. Grrrrr...
Jen: *She finaly took in a deep breath and stood up. Her eyes were teary, but her voice was unbroken when she spoke in a cold tone* Did you see a car, James.
James: Yes.
Jen: *her voice became urgent* Where did you see it go?
James: *he pointed out the direction the car took* Down that road.
Jen: That's towards the HQ. *She ran towards the TR car James came in* Come on. Let's go. *Jennifer got in the front and Jessie in the back. James took the driver seat, but found no steering wheel. He saw the car move, then looked over at Jennifer, who was driving on the _other_ side of the car. James thought about it, then realised what country he was in; Australia. He saw that no-one noticed his mistake and kept quiet, and focused on what was happening*
Cassidy: *singing* We have the Boss' Pokemon! Doo dah, doo dah! *Blaze started crying* What, you don't like my singing?
Butch: *looking at the child* I don't blame you.
Cassidy: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
Butch: Eh-heh.
Cassidy: Never mind. *she picked up a PokeBall and pressed the centre to make it expand* I'm sure the Boss wont mind if we give it a bit of training before we hand it over to him. *She looked at the baby* Its time for your training little one, and I don't mean toilet. *She thought this was amusing and gave a wicked laugh*
*the car pulled into the HQ. Jennnfer, Jessie and James ran up the halls to the air strip where a plane waited. They saw Butch and Cassidy get on the plane*
Jen: No! Blaze! *She ran out and saw a child with them, who looked like her baby, except nearly 3 years older*
James: That's him? But how?
Blaze: *he wore a make-shift "nappy" out of torn clothing, as he grew too big for his clothes during the extra battles, but instead, had weird bluey-purple markings on his body* Let me go! *He dragged along behind Butch and Cassidy* I'm not gowing!
Jen: *she ran towards the plane. James and Jessie ran behind her. Butch and Cassidy turned around.
Jessie: Cassidy!
James: Buch!
Butch: IT'S BUTCH YOU JERK!! GET IT RIIIIGHT! *They went into the plane. The door closed*
James: What do we do now? *He saw Jennifer keep on going. She briefly talked i.e Yelled to one of the people on the air strip*
Jen: *she was screaming her head off* Open the door! I command you!
Man: Uh, yes, Boss. *He pushed a button and the doors of the plane opened. Even if she had a "mysterious" abence, she still had her authority around there*
James: Oh. *He followed Jennifer inside the plane. Jessie and James saw Jennifer inside the plane looking around*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"J2"
Jen: Where are they?! Where's Blaze?! *For no reason at all, there were 6 familiar people at the end of the plane*
Misty: That brown haired kid? *They turned towards the end of the plane where they saw Ash, Misty, Brock, Tracey, Ned and Kelly. They all sat on one long red seat* We saw him go into the plane just before. Why?
Ash: He kinda looked like that baby of yours, only older.
Jen: That's him. *She thought for a while* How do we get him back? *The floor moved, no, the plane moved, and knocked the late passengers to the ground* Ahh!
Brock: The plane is taking off!
Jen: *got up and started banging on the door that lead to the front of the plane* Let me in! I want my child back! *She slammed both fists on the door at once and gave up resting herself on the door sobbing*
James: Jennifer, I...*She looked over and ran towards James, throwing her arms around him and crying helplessly. James comforted her* We'll get him back.
Blaze: Mummy! *They turned and saw a small child run towards them. Jennifer bent down*
Jen: Blaze! *She picked up the child and embraced him* Where did you come from?
Butch: We can answer that question for you.
Cassidy: And for starters, he didn't come from any stork. *The two stood at the door*
James: What do you-?!
Jen: Please tell me. I want to know.
James: Huh? Oh...
Cassidy: How do I start....? Um, well, when a mummy and daddy love each other very much...
Butch: We create a Pokemon out of their DNA! *There were shocked gasps from all around the room, except from Jennifer, and the child, who was also a Pokemon. Jennifer just slowly nodded her head*
Jen: So, Blaze is a Pokémon?
Professor Forest: *walking into the room* A Pokemon and a human. It contains both DNA.
Jessie: Who are you?
Prof.Forest: Why, I'm the famous Professor Forest, the creator of this Child-Pokémon. We named him, "J2".
James: He already has a name.
Prof.Forest: Ah, but we named him ages ago. A long time ago-,
Jen: Wait. *They looked at her. Her head was bent down* Your the creator of Blaze?
Prof.Forest: J2? Yes, now-
James: Does that mean, your the father?
Prof.Forest: *he roared with laughter* Oh, no! No no no no! We create Pokémon like that without the mother's consent, but were not that sick! We chose the father out of careful thought.
Jen: *she nodded and looked up. Two tears filled her eyes* So the father...?
Prof.Forest: We were lucky with you. It seems as though you chose your childs father from the start...
James: *he wasn't paying attention. He was thinking where he'd heard the name "J2" before. It came to him. When he bumped into the Professor, he saw some sheets that read "J2". This must be the same thing. He remembered Professor greeting him.... "Hello, James...." ....He then saw the Professor's head turn his way. The Professor smiled and nodded*
Prof.Forest: We chose James to be the father of this Pokémon.
Jen: *she slowly nodded* ...mmm-hmm...I see... *she knelt on the ground and sobbed. Blaze hugged his mother*
James: *he nelt down beside her* Jennifer...*he caught her as she fell into his lap weeping* ...i'm here. *He looked at the small boy, who apparently was his son*
Jen: *she looked at him and smiled* Thanks....
Prof.Forest: ...we started a project called J1. This was going to be the first ever Man-Pokemon. However, the project failed...
James: *His son. He'd hoped that it was true, and it was. But also, he was the father of a Pokémon. Jennifer looked up at him. He saw her eyes full of hate, but wasn't directed at him. Her son. A Pokémon. A cruel science experiment at Jennifer's expence*
Prof.Forest: ...now, we stared the project again, and this time, it was a success. Because the child is also a Pokémon, he grew a bit too quickly while the mother...
James: (She has a name...)
Prof.Forest: ...was battling. We weren't prepared for the Pokémon to be taken so early. Do you mind if you-?
James: Shut up! *The Professor was suprised about this sudden out burst* You are playing with peoples lives. *He stood up. Jessie took over taking care of her cousin* What the hell do you think you're doing playing God? It's disgusting. What is it good for?
Giovanni: *making his apperance* For the good of Team Rocket. That child is the strongest Pokémon in the universe. It will be extremely helpful in Team Rocket's plans to capture the world.
James: *his anger focused on both at the moment* You just can't do this. Making people have a child without them knowing about it is just wrong, especialy when you get other people involved. And manipulating them for your own benifit! World domination?! Aitsu!
Prof.Forest: But you love her, don't you?
James: *he didn't need to think about that question* Yes. I love her more than anything else in this world.
Jen: *she looked up at him* James...*she smiled. She ran up to him and embaced him*
James: Even Choc-Orange dougnuts come a pitiful second after you.
Jen: *she laughed and held him tighter. Her tears were no longer filled with anger, but instead, happiness* I love you too...I love you so much, James...*they held each other for a few more moments. James looked around and saw that everyone was looking at them and smiling, even the boy. Jessie had a smile that also had a bit of "I-told-you-so" feel to it, as if she knew his fate with the woman in his arms from the start*
Tenraku
Prof.Forest: I guess thats answered the first question.*he broke the moment with a smug tone, that made some people annoyed* But what about the child?
James: *he slowly removed himself from Jennifer and looked at the boy. He anwered* I'm happy that he's my son. *The Professor smiled in satisfaction* At least it wasn't someone elses. *His smiled faded. In fact, his mood turned opposite almost suddenly* But you shouldn't have used Jennifer and I as your experiment. A child should be a symbol of how much two people love each other. *We catch a hint of blush in Misty's cheeks, heh heh* I wanted this boy to be my son. I can't stand him being caught up in this.
Giovanni: That's too bad. *They looked at him. Giovanni clicked his fingers and two identical, beefy men came out* I'm afraid you wont have another chance to symbolize your love. A shame. You look, oh-so-cute together. *He snapped them again and the two men grabbed Jennifer and took her not too far behind Giovanni and the Professor*
Prof.Forest: *not knowing about this part of Giovanni's plans* What are you doing?
Giovanni: It's quite simple really. I will be the new leader of Team Rocket Australia.
Jen: What?! You can't be! *She started kicking and struggling* What makes you think-?*the brutes turned her towards the door* What?!
James: What are you doing to her?!
Giovanni: I'm just making it easier for me to become the new Boss of TRA.
Kelly: We wont take your orders!
Ned: Especially after what you've done to our Boss.
Giovanni: In that case your fired.
Ned: You can't fire us.
Kelly: You aren't our Boss, and Jennifer would never fire us.
Giovanni: Let me fix that then...*he clicked his fingers. One of the large men let go of Jennifer while the other held her with both hands. The one who let go turned to the main door and opened it. Jennifer looked down at the sea with horror. She gasped as she leant back trying to keeep as far away from it as possible*
James: No!
Giovanni: I don't think this has been any easier. Ha ha ha! *The others gasped. Ash shook his head. He couldn't belive what his father was attempting*
James: Don't you dare do this to her. Don't you dare!
Giovanni: *he ignored him. He looked over at Jennifer. Her face was extremely pale. He smiled* It's over... *He raised his hand to shoulder height* ...for you. Now its time for a new begining. *He smiled* And the begining can only start, with your end.
James: NO! *Giovanni clicked his fingers. The large man that was holding Jennifer moved towards the door. He gave one solid push to her back. James watched, paralyzed as she tripped, waving about wildly for something to hold on to. She found nothing*
James: Jennifer! NO!!
Blaze: Muuum!! *The crying child ran out to his mother, who leant dangerously out of the plane. Jennifer's foot came off the plane. Now, she had nothing to support herself. The child dove out and held on to Jennifer as she began her fall*
James: NO!!! *He ran to the door and watched both mother and son fall down from the plane* Blaze!! Jennifer!!!*He continued watching until they dissapeared under the sea. They never surfaced. He stumbled back. He couldn't belive what happened. He _refused_ to belive what happened. He knelt to the ground and lowered his head. He bunched up his fist, and slammed it down onto the floor of the plane. He didn't know why he did it, but he didn't care. He'd try anything to get her back. Even if it meant destroying the plane. A tear escaped from his eye and ran down his cheek onto the floor. He swore. All his emotions couldn't be controlled no matter what he tried. He raised his head to find Giovanni. Yes. He was responsible for... He raised his head and looked about. He saw something that changed his mind. Jessie sat on the floor, hugging her knees and shaking. Her tear streaked face was as pale as Jennifer's. He then heard Jennifer's words echo through his mind* (I already know i'm loved... ...she needs someone to tell her that...) *James forgot about Giovanni for the moment. He made his way over to Jessie. She looked up at him, quietly sobbing*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yujo
Jessie: James... ...my m-mother, killed by Team Rocket...now, J...j...*she stuttered, then burst out crying. James knelt down and comfoted her. He understood how Jessie felt. Two of the people she cared about. Two of the people who cared about her. They were now gone. Except...*
James: Jessie...I do care about you. You've been my friend for as long as I can remember. *He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head up* I'm here for you Jess. Meowth too. No matter how many times you've hit me over the head with really large things that magically appear... we all care about you.
Jessie: *she sobbed* R-really?
James: *nodding* We all love you, Jess.
Kelly: *she watched all of this go on. She looked over at her brother, who wasn't only upset about the loss of his Boss and friend...* (Poor Ned.) *She closed her eyes and lowered her head*
Jessie: *she smiled* Thank you, James! *She flung her arms out and around James' neck. James was relived. He'd done what Jennifer had wanted him to do. He just wished she was here to see it...Jessie looked up at him with determined eyes* Teach him what happens when you mess with Jennifer, her cousin and her man.
James: *he nodded* Sure.
Hanko
*James stood up and looked at Giovanni with anger*
Giovanni: Damn it.
James: What's wrong now? Aren't you happy that you've made so many lives miserable, including mine and Jessie's?
Giovanni: *he frowned* My Pokemon went down with her. What a waste.
James: *he clenched his fist* (All he cares about is "his" Pokemon. Why doesn't he care about anyone else?)
Giovanni: *he shrugged* Oh well. We can make another one.
James: *he clenched his teeth* (Doesn't he care? He thinks that Pokemon like my son can be dispenable at his own will and just be shrugged off when they're gone?)
Giovanni: But who will be worthy enough...*he scanned the room. His eyes met Kelly and Brock* How about you two? Care to make more than history?
Brock: *holding Kelly* No way! You're not having Kelly!
Giovanni: That's a shame...*he looked around again* ...how about...*he smiled as he saw Misty and Ash* You two.
Misty: Uuhghh, no!
Ash: Not Misty!
Misty: I'm not doing it!
Giovanni: Then I guess that leaves me no choice...James, I belive you know how everything works. I'm sure James will show you everything you need to know, Jessie.
Jessie: *she looked up in horror* I wont let you do that!! *She jumped up and swung her fist at Giovanni. Before it could hit, the two men that captured Jennifer blocked Jessie and grabbed her. Jessie kicked about, trying to wriggle out of their grasp* Let me go!! Aah!
James: Let go of her! *He lashed out at one of the men. The man turned. It was the same one who pushed Jennifer. He let one arm go of Jessie and swung it out to James. He sent James flying across the room*
Giovanni: You can't stop me. I'm the one with the power around here. Professor?
Prof.Forest: *he turned to Giovanni, slightly nervous and shocked about what had happened to Jennifer* Y-yes?
Giovanni: *one of the men made his way to the beaten-up James, grabbed both of his arms and joined them at his back. James could barely struggle after his last encounter* We will begin work on "J3" now.
Prof.Forest: Yes sir. I have the Pokemon sample with me.
Jessie: You can't do this! I can sue you! ...I....I'm sure James' parents have a very well paid lawyer! He's good! I'm warning you!
Giovanni: Men. Take these two up near the front.
Men: Yes sir. *They started taking Jessie and James up the front. Suddenly, a spark of lightning flew out and hit Giovanni's back*
Giovanni: Aaarghh! *He fell to the ground* What the-?
Pikachu: Piikaah!
Ash: Great aim, Pikachu!
Pikachu: Pika!
Jessie: Haha! Nice job, twer- uh, Ash! *She turned to her captor and kicked him squah in thu nuts. He let go of Jessie and doubled over in pain wimpering "mummy". Brock, Ned, Ash, Giovanni, Professor Forest and the other big guy winced. James' head hung down. Slowly, he raised it. He saw Jessie hurtling towards him, with anger on her face and tears in her eyes. She swung her fist out. James thought she was going to hit him, but instead, the fist went above his head and hit the face of the man who was holding him. The man suddenly let go and held his face. James fell to the floor*
James: Jessie!
Jessie: *the man lay on the floor. He removed his hand an looked at it to see if it was bleeding. He wiped his mouth and looked over at Jessie. Jessie looked back unforgivingly* Grrrrrr, why you son of a- *she swung out* Raaaaghhhhh! *She jumped on top of him smashing her fists into his chest in fury* You will pay-uh-for what you did-ugh-to-huh-Jennifer-ughh. *She let one hand slap his face, then again, and again until she ran out of strength. She got off him and knelt down catching her breath and sobbing. The man lay there with a bleeding face. James was watching her. He knew why Jessie chose to fight this guy, and that was fine, even though it wasn't really their fault; as long as he had Giovanni to take on. He knew Giovanni was resposible for what happened to Jennifer. He slowly got up*
James: *knowing he couldn't take him on as Jessie did, James searched his belt for a PokeBall. He smiled and picked one. He brushed his forelock away (which fell back in its natural place instantly) and threw it out* Sneasle! *The PokeBall broke open and out came the Pokemon.*
Sneasle: Sneeeea-sal!
Giovanni: What's this?
James: Sneasle.
Sneasle: Snee? *Sneasle looked at him*
James: This man has done something horrible to Jennifer. *The Sneasle looked at James with shock* I'll never forgive him for it. Sneasle. I want you to forget he his a human and start thinking he is just like a Pokemon enemy.
Sneasle: Snealal!! *The Sneale looked at Giovanni with anger*
James: Thanks. Ok, Sneasle. Faint Attack!
Sneasle: Sneeeee. *It slowly dissapeared*
Giovanni: What is he...UGH!*Giovanni was knocked down* What the- Argh! *He was knocked about again* You can't do this! Persian! *Suddenly, Sneasle was knocked back onto Pikachu. Pikachu wasn't very happy about it...*
James: Sneasle!
Giovanni: *His Persian appeared at his side from out of nowhere* Sneasle isn't the only one who can use that move. * Sneasle got a bit of a shock. It then realised that it was sitting on an extremely annoyed Pikachu. Sparks flew from its cheeks. Sneasle made the wise decision and got off it.*
Misty: Pikachu is acting weird.
Ash: What's up Pikachu?
Pikachu: Chuuuuu....
Ash: Uh, Pikachu? *He looked at one of Pikachu's stubby yellow arms. It had a pretty deep cut* Oh! Pikachu! Your badly hurt.*he held out a hand to inspect it, but got hit by a spark* Ow! *He nursed his hand* Watch where your throwing your sparks.
Jessie: Aiahhh! *James turned and saw that Jessie was being restrained by the man she had just been beating.
James: Jessie! *He heard a chuckle from behind him. He turned around and saw one of the men standing above him grinning. He'd obviously recovered from his encounter with Jessie* ...no. *Before he could escape, he was grabbed by the large man*
Giovanni: I admire your attempt to ruin my plans. I really do. But like always, you've failed. It looks like you'll have to make up for it by helping me. Please take them into the front room.
Man: *he nodded* Y' sir.
Pikachu: Piiiiiii...*more sparks flew from its cheeks*
Ash: Pikachu. Stop that. I know it would hurt but.
Pikachu: ...kaaaaaaaaaa....
Ash: Pikachu. Stop it!
Pikachu: CHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! *It sent out one huge Thunder attack, shocking everyone on the plane. The controls burst into flames*
Pilot: Shit! I have no control! *He ran out to the others* The controls are in flames! I can't contact anyone! We're goin' down...
Kelly: No! We're gonna crash!
Brock: Not if the plane explodes first!
*Sure enough, it dove several metres before one last flash of light came from the plane. The plane exploded, showing no signs of survivors...*

Sumai
*a cool breeze drifted through the air. Several tropical birds flew by and landed at a nearby tree. They greeted the morning with a song that sounded like no other bird could make. It was loud enough to wake someone sleeping near by. He slowly opened his eyes and yawned. He stopped in mid-yawn. He looked around him. A tropical paridise surrounded him, with the sound of a blue-green ocean nearby. He frowned, looked at his arm, and pinched it. (I'm dead, and this is heaven, right? Where are the clouds?) He flinched in pain and nursed it. Then he smiled*
James: I'm alive. I'm alive! *He laid back down on his back laughing. It slowly died* Jessie...Meowth...have they....? *He sighed. He slowly got up and started walking along the beach to find anyone else*
*Pinch. His nose hurt. Pinch. His ear hurt. Climb climb climb sit. Someone sat on his stomach. Another came and sat on his leg. Pinch. That was his toe. Grab. Yank. That was his...now they've gone too far*
Brock: Hey! Whats the big- huh? *Brock sat up in bed. His 10 brothers and sisters sat around him smiling. Brock smiled back at them. He spread out his arms and they all came over for a huge hug. Brock smiled. He was alive. But what about Kelly...? He wanted to know what had happened to her*
*Her eyes opened*
Daisy: There she is.
Violet: Morning sunshine!
Misty: Huh?
Lilly: You were asleep.
Violet: Like, we didn't think you'd ever wake up.
Misty: ...the plane...but...how...?
Daisy: What is she talking about?
Lilly: Don't worry. She probably needs to get some food into her, or, something.
Violet: We'll get you some food. Don't worry.
Misty: ...I'm alive....
Daisy: Duh.
Lilly: Let's let her rest a bit more. She doesn't look too good. *They walked out of the room*
Misty: *she sighed* What happened? Where's Ash?
*His eyes opened*
Nurse: Well, one is up. How are you feeling?
Ned: Uuuuuhhhhggggggg.
Nurse: That's nice to hear. Better not get up too quickly. You'll get dizzy.
Ned: Uuuuuuuhhhhhggggg.......Kellllly?
Nurse: No, i'm Alison. That's Kelly. *She pointed to another bed. The girl started to stir* And I think that's her wake up call. *She hurried over to the bed* Morning dear. Have a nice sleep?
Kelly: Uuuuhhhhgggggg.....Ned? Brock.
Nurse: Doesn't anyone listen? Here. Take this medicine.
Ned: Where is Jennifer?
Nurse: *she shook her head* We cant find the Boss anywhere.
Ned: *he looked up* (How did we survive that explosion?)
*he lay there. Fresh bread being made in the kitchen. The sound of Pidgey in the trees. He dreamt of Pallet Town. It was so real...it was so...He opened his eyes. His room. His bed. His house. Home. He quickly got up. A dizzy spell came through him, but it diddn't stop him. He walked into the kitchen*
Pikachu: Pika Pi!
Mrs.K: Oh, Ash! You're back!
Ash: Mum. *He embraced his mother. They shared a very teary moment*
Mrs.K: I thought you were gone forever.
Ash: I lost myself.
Mrs.K: Don't leave me again. Do you understand?
Ash: Of course. I wont dream of leaving you by yourself.
Mrs.K: *she gulped* Oh, Ash! *She held him tighter. After a while, she let go.* Sit down and tell me what happened.
Ash: Well, it's a pretty long story...*Ash began to tell her everything, except of his encounter with his father. He decided its best she never knew*
Nichibotsu
*James continued walking. It was sunset. He hadn't eaten anything and was tired*
James: Mabye there isn't anyone on this island. *He looked ahead. He saw a small glow. James then saw a shadow moving towards him. It aproached quickly. Soon, he could make out the shape. The object barked at him. It came closer and closer. James stayed. The moving shadow jumped up and onto James, knocking him back. It barked several times*
James: Growlie! Its that really you?
Growlie: Growl! *It licked James' face*
James: Ahahaha! Growlie! How did you get here?
Voice: Growlie?!
James: Huh? *The small brown-haired child aproached them*
Blaze: Hey! How did you end up here? His voice seemed more different*
James: I don't know. ..so, what happened? I thought you...
Blaze: Hmmm...*his eyes brightened* Ah! I know. You must have thought of Jennifer before I transported you.
James: Transported?
Blaze: You look confused. I musn't have gotten to you in time. I hope everyone else got back home safely. Its a bit hard trying to get to everyones thoughts while taking care of mum. *He laughed* I was supposed to send mum home, but when she hit the water, she got knocked out and obviously went into a dream...*he looked about* Nice place to dream about too...
James: *remembering this child was a Pokémon* You used a psychicTransport attack?
Blaze: Yep. It's a handy feature to have...I'm still working out a few things.
James: When you said Jennifer went into a dream, you sent her to the place that she dreamt about, right?
Blaze: Well, not deliberatly. I couldn't get the thought of home into her mind while she was unconcious.
James: ..and the place she dreamt about...?
Blaze: *he nodded* Right here. Nice, isn't it?
James: So, if the last thing I thought about before you transported me was Jennifer, then...
Blaze: *he nodded more slowly and with a smile* You're a smart one.
James: *he looked at his son and frowned* Why don't you talk like a normal 3 year old?
Blaze: *shrugging* I'm not a 3 year old. Nor a normal one! *He turned to him and moved his left ear*
James: *he dramaticaly held his hands to his head* Noooooo! Another Jennifer!
Blaze: *frowning* Is that a bad thing?
James: *he sighed and shook his head* You're definatly her son. So where is she.
Blaze: Mum's just over at the fire with her other Pokemon. Sneasle is there as well. I think she might be pleased to see you. She spent the whole day with me!
James: I'm sorry to hear that. *Blaze pouted. He then sharply stuck out his arm and pointed towards the glow*
Blaze: The fire is over there, father dearest. *James laughed. It was going to take some time learning the complications of this child* See ya later.
James: *he took a deep breath and headed over. He walked over to the fire. He smiled and sighed with relief. Jennifer was there, alive and well, sitting and looking into the fire with her Pokemon. Blaze now lay in her lap. Blaze looked over to James and smiled. He winked and dramatically yawned*
Blaze: I'll go to bed now, ok?
Jen: Sure, dear. *She kissed him on the cheek and watched as he snuggled up into his small makeshift hammock in the tree. He snuggled in*
Blaze: ' Love you, mum. Goodnight.
Jen: Love you too, dear. Sweet dreams. *She turned her head towards the fire and looked into it, reaching below her neck trying to grab onto something that wasn't there. She then realised that the necklace was with James. James looked down and grabbed the necklace around his neck. She sighed and got up. She made her way towards the beach and sat down looking out to the sea.*
Subarashii
Jen: (I wonder where James is...)*she lay down on the sand* ...hmm...*she closed her eyes and sighed again. She heard something move about next to her* I thought you were tired. Why aren't you back in bed?
James: It's nicer here.
Jen: *her eyes shot open. She looked to her right and saw James lying next to her looking back and smiling* Oh! James! You're-! *She flung herself over him with her arms around his neck. James laughed and wrapped one of his arms around her, using the other to support himself* You're here! You're ok! *She too started laughing*
Jen: It's a good thing Blaze acted quick and got everyone home safely.
James: Yeah...
Jen: *She rested her head on his chest* I wonder if were ever going to get out of here.
James: Why? It's so nice here.
Jen: *she smiled* It's my heaven.
James: Your heaven?
Jen: *she nodded* They say that when you die, you go to that place you call heaven. I started thinking about it when I was....falling. I didn't know that Blaze was going to zap me here!
James: Doesn't it have fluffy white clouds, and-.
Jen: It doesn't have to be that. It's what you want it to be. Where you want to be forever. That's what it's all about.
James: I've just realized something. I mustn't have been saved. I'm dead.
Jen: Oh, you poor thing! *She laughed* Why do you think that?
James: I'm in heaven.
Jen: Hey! This is mine! Get your own!
James: I didn't mean that. I meant my heaven.
Jen: And that is...
James: *he rested his arm on her sholder* Where I want to be forever! *he grinned, then smiled* With you….
Jen: Oh! *she smiled and rolled on top of him laughing, wrapping her arms around and kissing him*
*Jennifer's eyes slowly opened. She looked about and smiled. A ceiling. Walls. Her bed. Home. They made it out of the dream-world. She turned to her side, then frowned. James wasn't there*
Jen: (Did he make it back?) *she looked around the room a bit more. Everything was there, except James. She then heard a sound downstairs* (Who's in the kitchen? James?) *she got out of bed and threw on a dressing gown. As she made her way down the stairs, she smelt something. Someone was cooking. She turned the corner and relaxed with a smile. James stood at the stove. He turned and smiled, holding a plate of pancakes*
James: Good morning, lovely.
Jen: *she blushed and laughed* Good morning.
James: Breakfast? *He held out the plate of the steaming pile of pancakes*
Jen: Oh, wow. Yes, thank you. It looks delicious! *James smiled* Just put them on the table and i'll get us some plates. *Once Jennifer came back down and was dressed, they sat down for breakfast. After a few moments of eating, Jennifer spoke* You know who isn't here?
James: *he looked at her* Blaze? *She nodded*
Jen: I haven't seen him this morning. Have you?
James: No...
Jen: ....oh. *She slowly got up and placed her plate in the sink* ....mabye he hasn't come back.
James: I think I know why. *Jennifer turned and looked at him*
Jen: You do?
James: I think he want's to stay away from here. It must be hard for him.
Jen: *tears were forming in her eyes* But, but why? Why would he want to...? *she walked over to the couch. James followed* It's because...because he doesn't want to be found out. If they do, they might take him away from me forever. They'll do tests on him. They'll put him on display. He'll be un happy.
James: He did the right thing to stay away. *Jennifer sat there. James placed one hand on her sholder, and in an instant, she was crying into his chest, with arms around him. James held her and rubbed her back to comfort her.*
Voice: Now look what you've done. *It was Blaze's voice*
Jn&Jm: *they turned towards a glowing lavender-coloured nimbus that hovered in the living room* Blaze?!
Blaze: *Blaze appeared inside the nimbus, with his arms crossed and shaking his head* I'm gone, so you're upset, now i'm upset because you're upset because i'm gone. You've started a very vicious cycle.
Jen: Blaze! What are you doing here?! You're going to get into trouble!
Blaze: *he stopped glowing and floated down into his mothers lap and placed one hand on her mouth* Just keep it down and no-one will know. *She nodded, as she couldn't open her mouth with Blaze's hand in the way. The child smiled, removed his hand and hugged her* I'll be ok. You don't have to worry about me. *He let go and went over to James and did the same* I'm a big boy now, remember? I can handle these things. *He floated away from James and stated glowing again, Jennifer and James both looked at each other and roled their eyes* What? Isn't it good enough? How about this? *He dramaticaly raised his small arms and an invisible choir started to sing triumphantly* Is this a better exit? Mum?
Jen: *putting on a bored expression* It will have to do I suppose...*her face softened* Be good. Take care of yourself out there, dear.
Blaze: I'll be fine! Just make sure you take care of each other, right?
James: We will. See you later.
Jen: Goodbye, Blaze.
James: Make sure you let us know you're ok.
Blaze: Sure, dad. *he lifted his hand near his head and flicked it away* Later. *Soon, he and his spectacular glowing trick vanished*
Jen: *she rested her head on James* That made me feel a whole lot better.
James: Me too. He knows what he's doing.
Jen: I think he'll be ok. He's smart...oh....and the strongest Pokemon in the world...
James: And the biggest show-off.
Jen: Defiantly...*the looked at each other and laughed*
That's all. Go home now. *dies*
