WHO SHOT ASH KETCHUM???

Part 6

By Ketch Up

2 p.m.

Police Station

'Wake up Ms Jesse, wake up.' Jenny put a wet towel on Jesse's forehead.

'Huh?' Jesse opened her eyes.

'Yeah, that's it, that's good! Your waking up! How terrific!!!' Jenny exclaimed.

'Where the frick is James?' Jesse demanded.

Jenny swung back at the rather rude answer from Jesse. 'Well, Ms Jesse, I hope you understand but I don't know where James went. He just told me to take care of you and then he went off.'

'He told you to take care of me?'

'Yeah. Why?'

'Nuffin…(nothing)'

'Well, I think he went to check on how Ash was doing…'

Jesse immediately jumped up. 'That idiot! I am going to find him!' Jesse picked up her brown cloak and hurried out of the station.

'Hey Ms. Rude! Do you even have manners?' Jenny cried after her.

Jesse just gave Jenny the finger.

'Humph!' Jenny growled and crossed her arms. 'The woman these days…'

Meanwhile…

Joy general hospital

'James! Ah! Good to see ya!' melody cried as she saw the SERGEANT walk through the ward door.

'Yeah. Hi James.' The rest chorused.

'yeah yeah, whatever. I just came to see how Ash was doing and then just go.' James replied.

Ash swung his head and held it high like a snob. 'I am feeling just fine. So THANK you.'

'Ash. So rude.' Melody put her hands on her hips, shaking her head.

'I was asking about your arse. Not YOU.'

'Urgh…' Brock finally entered the ward again, with bush shrubs in his hair. 'Misty…you're a little too strong, even stronger than Jacky…'

'Who the hell is Jacky?!' Misty demanded.

'Jacky is a reporter.' Frank answered. 'She's like the Joys and the Jenny's. I can't believe you haven't heard about her.'

'Well I just did.' Misty answered protectively.

'Don't worry Frank,' Ash smiled. 'She's always that rude and stubborn.'

'Hoh!!' Misty gasped.

'Yeah, I know.' Frank answered.

'Hoh! Humph! You two are the gay ones then.'

'They! Shut Up!' Ash and Frank growled.

They all laughed as Melody checked her watch. 'ARGH!!!' She screamed. 'I'm late! I've got work!!!'

The group looked at her, confused.

'I'll see you guys later! Ash, tell me if your arse is okay and James, phone me!' Melody dashed out of the ward, leaving James and a couple of other people dumbstruck.

'What the hell did she mean by that?' Ash asked.

'Duh! She meant that she asked James to phone her. Hello? Ring a bell?' Frank grinned.

'Err…I still don't know what it means.' James answered as Brock and Frank got a sweat drop.

'Oh I get it!' Ash and Misty said in unison.

'Well I still don't.' James grumbled. 'Will someone tell me?!'

'Urgh!' Brock growled. 'I'll tell you! It means that Melody likes you!!!' Brock said with a furious red face, unable to accept defeat. 'C'mon, James!!!'

'Err…yeah. Well anyway, can I do the thing I came here to do?' James asked, and didn't even take anything in on what Brock said.

'Yeah.' Ash answered. 'My arse is feeling okay. I think I can get out of this stupid place tomorrow.'

'That's good.' James smiled.

'Yeah.' Frank grinned. 'You know what? I forgot to tell you this. Your mum's in town.' He told Ash.

'HIS MUM!?!?!?' Brock, James and Misty said in unison before fainting.

' Just to our very luck…'

'The Mistress of Disaster is approaching…'

'You mean Mistress of underwear…'

'Oh who cares? Same thing…'The three mumbled lying on the floor with total headaches.

'Hey Ash, is your mum that bad?(I'm also getting a headache here too. So I don't blame ya!) C'mon! She seems pretty nice.'

'PRETTY NICE?!' James double fainted.

'Oh c'mon guys,' Ash tried desperately tried to convince his friends. 'She's not that bad.'

'Well when she's visiting, you'll find me standing outside of this ward.' Misty added.

'Yeah, same here.' Brock agreed.

'Yeah, here three, but you wouldn't see me standing out of this ward. You'll find me at the nearest cafeteria!' James smirked as the three cracked up.

Ash got annoyed. 'So James! How's Jesse?'

'Jesse?' James looked up, with a confused look. ' I don't know. I left her at the police station with Jenny-'

'Then you better get going and look for her!' Frank grumbled. 'Your meant to find out Giovanni's address from her, right?'

'Oh yeah.' Catch you guys later!' James waved.

'Yeah, I'll go back to Jenny. I need to check the latest poke crimes. You know Ash, your arse case isn't the only one I'm working my arse off for!' Frank did a peace sign as he and James walked out of the ward.

'Bye!' Smiled Misty and waved. (She's trying to be polite!)

Pikachu, who had been silent for all that time (basically I forgot about him No offense!) pika-ped and smiled.

Café Scymariven

'Hey Melody!' James cried, waving out to her on seeing her in her working suit.

'Hi!' She said back and waved.

'Is Jesse here? Really- I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME NOW FOR YOUR TALKIN'!!'

'Oh James! Your breaking my heart!' Melody joked.

'Humph.' James folded his arms. ' Is Jesse here?'

'No.' Melody answered back.

'James! You idiot!!! I'm over here!' James and Melody turned to see the girl in question stumble towards them.

'Hey Jimmy Boy!' Jesse exclaimed and came up and gave James a hug. 'You pig! I was searchin' for you. What do you want?' Hse put her hands on her hips.

'Humph.' Melody growled and turned her head up like a snob and walked away to serve a customer.

'So James, what do you want?' Jesse smiled.

'Well, you see I need this piece of information that is vital for the twerps case…and you've got it…' James explained.

And the mention of the twerp, Jesse's face darkened. 'I won't help you. I don't care what you'd say, but I'm not going to help in solving that kids butt cases.'

'Fine then.' James answered, using his brain for once. ' Then tell me this. Can you remember boss's phone number?'

'No. I forgot that ages ago. Why?'

James thought he'll faint. 'No…'

'What?!' Jesse demanded.

'Then who has it then?'

'Ever heard of…phone book?' Jesse put her hands on her hips.

'Yeah, but boss has a secret hideout…'

'So? He's got a phone, doesn't he?'

'I don't know…'

'C'mon!' Jesse was getting impatient. 'He's one of the richest guys in the world and he doesn't have a phone!!! That sure makes sense!!'

'I does!' James grinned.

'Grrhhh…JAMES!!! OKAY FINE!!! Only meowth has the boss's secret address. Only meowth.'

'Then where's meowth?'

' I DON'T KNOW!!!'

Melody had heard Jesse screaming and ran over to them. 'Hush. Your scaring our diners away.'

'Shuddup. I don't care about stupid diners.' Jesse growled.

'Well you should.' Melody growled. 'The better is that you can go now. James can stay here.'

'No. Wherever James goes, I'm GOING!!!'

'Humph. Please? Your no help to James's special case.' Melody pushed Jesse away from a very thoughtful James.

'Hey! He's my partner!!' Jesse screeched. 'You can't do this to his PARTNER!!'

Melody stopped suddenly. 'Partner?'

'Yeah.' Jesse brushed herself. 'Prepare for trouble…'

'And make that double!' James cried out.

'To protect the world from devastation.'

'To unite all people within our nation.'

'To denounce the evil of truth and love.'

'To extend our reach to the stars above.'

'Jesse!'

'James!'

'Team rocket blast off at the speed of light!'

'Surrender now or prepare to fight!!!'

'Meowth that's right!'

'Jesse! Your not meowth!'

'So? Someone had to say his part.'

Melody was shocked. 'James? You and Jesse are partners?'

'Duh. She got that saying into me. I just couldn't help saying our motto!!'

'Well, you could. Humph.' Melody stalked away.

'Well, as I was saying…' Jesse sighed. 'Only Meowth knows boss's address. Anyway, why do you need it??'

'Err…' James scratched his head. 'Well…'

'Hey!' Jesse snarled. 'I know! Boss has something to do with the twerps case hey?'

'Err…yeah…'

'JAMES!!! You user! Get away from me!!!' Jesse screamed.

'Might as well,' James grinned as he walked away from Jesse.
