- Here it is! Like a year later, but here it is! CHAPTER 3!!!! I think this is sorta a side story for Jessy & James LoL, but there is a lot with Ash & Misty also, it's just that I couldn't leave them out! -^_^-
+ Note*, I do NOT own Pokemon! Very rich people do. I only own this story idea that many people have waited for… Sorry it's been so long!! +
Gary smiled brightly as he let his hand run through Misty's orange-red hair as he kissed her. "I love you Misty, why won't you just let me win your heart?"
"Because my heart will never belong to a bastard like you!" She screamed kicking him in the groin and pushing him away.
"Ahhh!" He shouted in pain striking her again. "Bitch, you don't know anything! Your Ash won't come for you, not after the way you treated him! He most likely thinks you finally left him alone, so he won't have to deal with you any longer!"
Misty let tears fall from her eyes as a large brose began to form on her face. "You don't know Ash at all, you've known him your whole life, but you don't know anything about him like I do!"
----------------
"Erra! Come on Broke!" Ash shouted as they ran past the front desk.
"I have to tell the deskmen that we'll be staying a night longer!" Broke protested sighing when he noticed it was the man with the eye shadow on his eyes again.
----------------
"I can't believe it… That stupid cat gets bumped up in office and we're still stuck trying to catch Pikachu and the stupid brats…" Jessy groaned taking a sip of her Martine.
"True… But at least we'll be able to have some better food. We don't have to spend as much money only feeds two mouths, instead of three." James smiled as he dove off the diving board and into the pool. His blue hair seemed to glisten as he came up gasping for breath. He opened his eyes slowly whipping the water away from his emerald green eyes.
"Hmm…" Jessy sighed blushing slightly when he got out of the pool. His body was well built and his red swim shorts went well with him making everything seem to stick out.
"You catching a cold, your face is all red…" James leaned forward his wet hair dripping onto his skin as he poked at her cheek with an index finger.
"Huh, I'm fine! Why do you ask that? Red, you say, it must be the light…" She stood up nervously hurrying over to the edge of the pool where the water was shallow enough for her to stand. "Can you watch my stuff for me; I'm getting in for a little bit."
"Uhh but…" James sighed taking a quick sip of her Martine without her notice and laid down on a lounge chair. "I wasn't done swimming…"
Jessy wore a pale orange bikini; the top was haltered and seemed to fit her for perfectly. Her hair was long and wavy underwater as she inhaled a breath and went under swimming from one side to the other and back. 'Why did I blush?! I never do things like that around James… He's, he's so… Jamesish!' She glared at her thought coming up to take a breath and float onto her back lazily. "We can't do our theme song anymore…" She sighed loud enough for James to hear. They were the only ones there at the moment, so she didn't mind yelling.
"You're right… This sucks… I was just getting a hang of this new idea for it also… Maybe I'll think of something for us later on." He chuckled.
'For us…' The words echoed though her mind like a broken record. "Ha, no… I mean, don't you think it's kinda stupid? We've been chasing after the brats since they were twelve and now their like eighteen. I'm getting tired. Why don't we quite and start a new life… Start our own Team Rocket organization!" She started to laugh. But not in a cynical way… More like she was trying to cover up pain, something James could see.
"Jess… I mean, Jessy, what's up with you today?" James suddenly became serous. "You're not yourself." He gave up on watching her things; they were the only ones inside anyway. Just them and the smell of an indoor pool. He jumped in splashing water on Jessy making her blink a few times until the water was no longer stinging her eyes.
"I don't know… Just try and back off today… I…" She frowned disgusted with herself. She felt as if she had been wasting her life for the past seven years being nothing but a failure.
"Hmm, that time of the month again is it…" He smirked coyly as her eyes turned into daggers. "Just kidding…"
"Hmm!" She exhaled trying to let herself sink underwater for a moment or two where it was quite, almost silent really.
"Ack! No trying to drown yourself now…" James grabbed her by the arm and dragged her back up but stumbled falling over and pushing them both under.
"Heeeellllppp…" Jessy gargled underwater as James tried to stand himself up.
"Trying to!" He shouted as he gathered his balance and helped her up successfully. "You… Okay?" He smiled feebly not caring that his face was centimeters away.
"Ehh! Yes, I'm fine, I wasn't trying to kill myself, so I would have come back up, but then you fell on top of me and I couldn't catch my breath!" She hissed getting out of the pool and ringing out her hair before grabbing a towel and drying off her face and body as it dripped onto the tan concrete floor.
"Oh… Umm, sorry about that." He sighed falling onto his back and looking up past the glass sealing at the afternoon sky. "We should go soon and see what we can find out on Ash and the rest of the brats…" He exhaled making his body slowly sink under the clear blue water before coming up again inhaling and getting out of the pool himself.
"Yeah, I want to grab some lunch though first!" She smiled knowing that now they had the money for those sorts of expenses.
"Heh, there's a McDonalds down the rode; we can go get something there once we get dried off." James bent his neck to the side making it crack lightly as he wrapped a towel around his head trying to let his hair dry.
Jessy smirked holding back her laughter. "What are you doing with your hair? People will think you're weird if you walk out with a pool towel wrapped around your head..."
"You do it." James made a point as Jessy did the same thing.
"I'm a girl James… Most women with long hair do this." She sneered jokingly.
"So what, I have long hair too!" James protested frowning as Jessy wrapped another towel around her lower waist and pulled off the towel around James's head.
"Just wrap a towel around your waist and deal with it… For me?" Jessy smiled trying not to sound to sincere and began to walk away humming a little tune with her eyes closed.
"Fine… Just, just watch out for the door." James sighed as Jessy slammed her face dead on into the solid metal door.
"Oww… You could have warned me a little sooner!" She growled as James began to laugh.
"Yeah, yeah… Let's get out of here." James shook his head chuckling to himself. 'What's with me today, and worse why do I feel different? Is it Jessy, or the fact that now there is only two of us, and not three?'

"You're Ash right?" Ash froze in the middle of running barely able to stop. Broke quickly fallowed staring at the man in a dark brown trench coat.
"Yes, why?" Ash gritted his teeth, he hadn't found a single thing about Misty's disappearance, or where Gary was at all.
"Just back off until tonight. Gary will call you then." The man's face was covered in shadow from the hood of his coat. He turned away quickly and went around a sharp corner into a nearby alleyway.
"Uhh! Wait, please, tell me if she's alright!" Ash started after him, but the man was already gone from sight… But not from Ash's mind in the least. 'Where are you… Where are you my love?' Ash balled up his fists kicking a trash can in his path. "Bastard!" He growled.
"You've got to calm down Ash, you heard what the man sai—"
"Just shut up! You have no idea how I feel, just back off!" Ash course again under his breath.
"I… You're right. But then again, if you listen to Gary, you'll get her back… Why don't we just head back to the hotel?" Broke sighed placing a friendly hand on Ash's shoulder.
"Fine…" Ash's heart pulled as he walked away. 'I'll find you Misty, I find you if it kills me!'

"Did you hear that James?! That little bratty girl was kidnapped by Ashes cozen!" Jessy hid behind a parked car along with James as he took a sip from the soda he bought at McDonalds.
"They aren't really cozens you know," James paused taking another sip from the fizzy liquid. "They only seem like it since their families are so close. At least Ash's mother, and professor Oak are. So Since Ash and Gary were little they've always called themselves each others cozen." James smiled ducking Jessy's fist. "You'll have to hit faster then that… I've been improving my strength and working out, so I can move faster no—"
"Take that, Mr. No-It-All!" Jessy glared hitting him across the head.
"Ehh! James whined in pain glaring back up at Jessy. "Did you really have to hit me that hard? You made me spill my soda too…" He frowned as his coke streamed down the black concrete rode into a drain.
"Hmm… Well, it just adds fat and extra calories that you don't need, so it's better off that you ended up spilling it in the end." Jessy hissed again blushing as James leaned up against her to see which way Ash and Broke were going.
"Heh, guess you're right… Are you alright?" James looked down at her. His deep blue hair falling into his face and brushing up against Jessy's cheek.
"Uh… Yeah, yes! Why do you ask that?" Jessy smiled looking the other way watching an old woman walk by them both shaking her head and mumbling something about couples these days…
"Well, I had noticed your face as red when we were at the pool, and now it's red again." He poked her in the cheek on impulse.
"It's nothing, I… It's probably allergies…" Jessy faked sneezing, and luckily James bought it.
"Oh, uhh, I hate them… I used to get them when I was a little kid really bad. It was from the plants around my house, that's also one of the reasons I ran away from home… I don't know if I want to go back or not. Who knows if my mother and father would even remember me if they're still alive!" James smiled slightly fighting back a pain in his heart.
Jessy frowned. "At least you had parents who were willing to take care of you." Jessy bit down on her lower lip. She had never said anything about her family past except that she had some older sisters who would give her torn up old hang me downs. "My parents cared very little about me. They thought I was the outcast, since after my mother gave birth to me, she could no longer have kids… My mother would slap me around and my father when he would drink a lot… Would pick me up and throw me into the wall. One time I fell right into the corner of our coffee table… I thought my back would never stop bleeding." Jessy closed her eyes picturing her little body be slapped thrown and her sister taunting her to no end. "I hated my family. The teachers at school finally noticed the small blood stain on my back when I had hit the coffee table and tried to take care of the wound myself. I was taken away from my parents when I was nine. I lived in with three families until I finally joined team rocket and was teamed up with you and Meowth." Jessy could feel the tears in her eyes be tried her hardest not to let them fall.
"Jessy I…" James tried to let his hand fall on hers but she pulled away. "Why didn't you tell me before… I could have—"
"You couldn't have done anything!" She shouted getting up and starting to jog down the street.
"Jessy!" James shouted running quickly to catch up to her. "Erra! Jessy will you stop running away from me?!" James reached out and grabbed her arm jerking her back.
"Uh…" Jessy felt herself falling; James grabbed a hold of her to brake her fall.
"Are… Are you—" James sat up as people walked past them some with worried faces, yet no one stopped to see if they were alright. He pulled her up to him to make sure she wasn't hurt, but he found she was crying. "You… You're crying." James's mouth hung slightly gaped as Jessy let him wipe the right side of her cheek free of her tears.
"What, a girl can't cry?! So what if I never have shown my feelings before to anyone other then my own, true family… So now everyone thinks it's weird?!" Jessy's body racked with tears as she bent over folding her and head onto her knees.
"I never said you were weird. It's okay, I'm just not used to you being so open to me." He smiled pulling a stray piece of hair behind Jessy's right ear.
"I… I don't know, I just felt like saying it. Getting it off my chest sort of thing…" Jessy sighed gaining control over her emotions again.
"Hmm..." James smiled warmly, not like his normal goofy smile that he would give Jessy, but a sincere smile. One that expressed more feeling then Jessy had ever seen in James. "You want to go back to the hotel now, or are we still planning on getting our pay check this week?" He laughed taking her hand and helping Jessy to her feet.
"We need to eat don't we?" Jessy smiled lightly. "After them!" She joked, she had never seemed to have ever acted so outgoing and care free around James. He didn't know what to make of it. He just glanced at her from the corner of his eyes smiling to himself, content with his thoughts.
'What is this feeling? I've… I've never felt this before.' James just laughed again as they both started marching forward after Ash and Broke who had headed back to their hotel two blocks down from where Jessy and James were staying.

"Do we have anything on Ash or those annoying stalkers that fallow them around yet?!" Gary shouted throwing a file on Ash since he was three years old against the wall pictures papers, and all sorts of things flying around Misty's feet.
"I just got back sir. I was able to contact him before Jessy and James made their move. I made sure to speak loud enough though so that they could hear." Waters took off his brown trench coat letting it hang over an empty chair.
"Ahh… Finely some good news…" Gary glared at the other men in the room who hid their heads in shame. "Thank you're Waters… You are free until tonight when I call Ash." Gary smiled coyly.
"Why are you involving Team Rocket into this?!" Misty protested.
"Uh…" Gary turned around glaring at Misty with the strongest hate. "First off, I told you to shut up, second off I'll let you live now… Since Waters has cheered me up a bit… And third… I'm involving Jessy and James, because they'll just be annoyances and end up causing problems with my plans…"
"You asshole, don't involve innocent people into your traps for no reason!" Misty screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Erra! That's it!" Gary ran over to Misty kicking her so hard her chair fell back.
"Ahhh!" Misty screamed tears streaming down her face.
"You die now! I can't take it, screaming, when I tell you to shut your little face! Listen in your next life, and maybe you'll live next time!" Gary kicked her in the stomach again making her cough and scream out in pain.
"Sir… Sir, stop it now!" Waters grabbed him and pulled him back. "You want Ash dead, so just live with her until then!"
"Fine… You can help her up." Gary sneered kicking her again as he walked off to go take a shower. 'The second Ash gets his ass here, that bitch is the first to go!" He shouted at the top of his lungs hitting his fist into the wall.
"Shh… Be quite and he wont get as angry at you…" Waters sighed as he tilted Misty back into a sitting position.
"Hmm.." Misty nodded flinching in pain.
"I'll give some an Advil and a hot pack, they'll both help keep any swelling off of the beautiful face of yours." Waters smiled trying to make the best of Misty's worst situation.
"I… I just want to be with Ash…" She cried as tears fell from her eyes.
"Yeah… Well, you'll see him tonight. That's all I can tell ya."
'Ash, please come and save me!' Her mind screamed.
---------
"Could this feeling be…" James's eyes went wide and he covered his mouth. 'I… No, do I? Of course not… I'm being stupid! There is no way in hell that I'm falling in love with… I'm falling in love with Jessy!' James looked down at the ground as he heard the shower in their bathroom running. He suddenly felt he cheeks blush as he turned away from the door. 'I have to spend the night in the same room with… Jessy… What… If, what if… No, no nothing like that's going to happen, we have two full sized beds… James's face turned a deeper shade of red.
Jessy turned off the hot water in the shower and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her form quickly. "James, you can get in the shower now… Umm, just uhh… Turn around for a…" James came to her calling voice not knowing she was only in a very short towel. "Eiiiaaahhh!" She screamed slapping him across the face, pushing him out of the bath room and slamming the door shut.
"Uhh… Did that just happen?!" James slid down the door letting his head fall into his hands.
"Could you please go stand out in the hallway and I'll tell you to come inside when I'm dressed?" Jessy's face was a dark crimson red, as was James's face.
"I… Yes, sure… N… No problem at all…" James managed to stand up and went outside into the hallway. 'How am I going to tell her?' James bit down on his thumb nail in thought pacing back and forth in the room.
'Uhh… I… I love him, him of all the men in the world, I've fallen for James. I in love with James… But how am I going to tell him?'
