The One for You
-Chapter 4-
…Tomorrow…
"I'm With You"
(By Avril Lavigne)
I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound
Isn't
anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
im
looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone
Isn't
anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
oh why is
everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind

It's a
damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand

I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Take me

I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Take me
by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
'Where are you? Are you even close to me anymore, or are you… Are you dead?' Ash's heart wrenched at the thought.
"Ash, you think we should get our Pokemon back?" Broke handed Ash a medium cup filled with cheese fries.
"No, we can't. I tried a little while ago, the power's still down. I managed to contact Professor Oak on his lap top though, and he said everyone at home was okay; they'll be without power for a few days." Ash smiled slightly happy to be able to concentrate on something other than Misty.
"Geese, did they get the storm worse then we did?" Broke said with a full mouth, taking a sip of his Sprite.
"No, two trees took out the power plant…" Ash sighed shaking his head. "We'll have to deal with Gary on our own."
"Bokey, is that you?!"
"Ehh! Jenny?" Broke blushed as a fairly tall woman cheerfully skipped over to his, and Ash's table giving him a big kiss on the lips.
"So this is your famous Jenny?" Ash smirked, holding back spits of laughter.
Broke glared at Ash through his slanted brow eyes. "Yes, Jenny, this is Ash… The one I told you about." Jenny stopped hugging the life out of Broke for a moment to give Ash the once over.
"Hello." She smiled lightly. 'He's pretty cute for a kid…' She referred to herself. 'But younger guys aren't my type…' Jenny stood up and took a seat, making sure it was very close to Broke. "Broke told me what happened to, Misty is it?" She paused as he nodded his head before she continued. "Well, I think I could be of use. I wont dress like a cop, but I'll come with you. If need be I can call for backup." Jenny smiled stealing a few of Ash's fries.
Normally Ash would have yelled and joked with Misty if she took some of his food, but with Jenny he just frowned. "Fine, but don't give yourself away." Ash gave up in defeat. He was to exhausted and worried to care.

"Jessy, can I come back inside the room yet?" James let his head thump into the red, wooden door. "How long does it take you to get changed, you've been fifteen minutes already, and I have to pee!" He hissed as an old woman walked by hitting him over the head with her cane.
"How rude!" She glared daggers. "Couples these days…" She shook her head.
"Come on, I'm being beaten by an old woman Jess…" He whined rubbing his head. "It's that old coot we saw when we were spying on the brats—" James was cut off when Jessy swung the door wide open nearly slamming him in the face.
"James… Come here sweetheart." She winked pointing to her left.
James's mouth, and eyes widened when he noticed she was in her mini skirt, but then only had a bra on. He fallowed her hand to where she was pointing, and the old woman stood down at the end of the hallway by the elevators spying on Jessy and James. Jessy smiled brightly helping him to his feet and pulling him into a kiss before whispering into his ear. "We have a spying set of eyes watching us… Fallow my lead…"
"I thought you would never let me in…" He sighed kissing her down her neck actually wishing this moment were real. Yet he also wondered why Jessy was even asking him to do this.
Jessy let out a fake little giggle as she started to pull off his Team Rocket over shirt, leaving him in a black tank top the showed off his well built body once again. "Sorry I took so long." She said loud enough so the old woman could hear.
"It made me want you even more." He said letting one of Jessy's bra straps slip down her shoulder. "Oh God, your skin is so soft…" He kissed her again, this time meaning it. Jessy however just thought he was still acting along and waved to the little old woman.
"Hello!" She laughed as the woman turned bright red and ran into the elevator as it opened. "Ha!" Jessy laughed pulling away quickly and running back into their room. "That was great! You know we really had her believing that we were together—" But James cut Jessy off kissing her full on the lips pulling her body close to his again.
"James, wha… What do you think you're doing?!" She hissed pulling away.
"I… Oh no… I, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to do anything to hurt you Jessy, please, I…" James's face went dead serious his right hand extended towards Jessy.
"I…" Jessy blushed covering herself. 'What did I just do?!' She mentally kicked herself. 'He'll never trust me again; he most likely hates me… No, I can't, please don't let me be alone again!' Jessy let the tears well up in her eyes again and begin to spill over her lower eyelids, and down her cheeks.
"You probably hate me now, I mean come on, I made you cry…" James smiled weakly. "The truth is… I didn't want you to stop… Isn't that funny?" James stared down at his feet his head shaking back and forth wondering why he was telling Jessy this. Making her hate him.
"What?" Jessy's eyes widened, but the tears kept on coming. She shook her head not knowing how to take what he had just said. 'How can he say such a thing to me?! I hate him for this!' Jessy began to lose herself. That fearless, emotionless, moody girl was leaving her… James was helping her break the wall around her heart.
"When you walked out… Like that," He pointed towards her chest trying not to look as respect for Jessy. "I was shocked at first, and then you pulled me up and kissed me. I melt; I can't help what my heart is feeling Jessy, let me be the one that's going to always be there for you Jessy… Let me love you." He took a step forward offering her his handkerchief. "Here, Jess."
"How could you? How could you do this, I…? Don't mess with my feelings like this!" She screamed pushing his hand away and running to the corner of their room sliding down the wall her body once again racked with tears.
"Uh!" James's eyes widened and then closed. "Jess, whatever you think of me at this moment… I'm not trying to hurt you. We've been together nearly ten years… Ten years! I… I think I've always, well, almost always loved you. At first I just thought… Is that an angel? That's what I thought of you when you walked into Giovanni's office that day we were assigned as partners. I still think that… You're my angel…" James couldn't believe what he was saying, and worst off it was making Jessy cry.
"Heh!" Jessy laughed lightly in between cries. "I… I thought you were some copy off of Tuxedo Mask… You were caring a rose in your hand and said hello milady… I thought you were more of a lunatic then a partner… At least I did at first. I don't know when that faded, and another feeling replaced it… But… Your answer is yes." Jessy sighed trying to franticly stop the tears from falling.
"Yes, what?" James looked at her strangely. He had walked right up to her unnoticed. He bent down and handed her his handkerchief again letting his hand run through her fire, red hair.
Jessy closed her eyes as she felt the wall crumble to dust and blow away, freeing her heart. Letting her heart know love… "I love you too, I'll let you love me." James's heart pulled, as a wave of happiness seemed to waver over him. He started to laugh ass he grabbed Jessy and pulled her into his arms pressing her body against his, and absorbing her warmth.
"I'll never give you one day where you aren't happy, I promise you that. I love you Jessy, forever." He smiled letting his lips brush against hers his warm breath on her neck causing Jessy to have a slight chill.
"Heh, is that so Tuxedo Mask?" She laughed kissing him full on the lips as he slowly lay on top of her. "I'm yours forever…" She let one more tear run down her cheek as James kissed her neck and collar bone; not because she was sad, but because she was finally happy.

"Damn it, shouldn't Gary have called by now?!" Ash growled pulling at his ebony hair.
"It's only 6:15, give the man some time…" Broke tried his hardest to reassure him.
Just then Ash's cell phone rang. Ash picked it up hurriedly looking at his caller idea Professor Oak had installed in it. "Gary?!" He shouted into the phone as he answered it.
"Ashie boy, don't sound so angry… I couldn't wait to talk to you and all you can do is yell at your dearest cozen in the world?"
"You aren't my cozen you bastard. Let me talk to Misty!" Ash yelled again into the phone. Jenny put a finger to her lips and whacked Ash across the head.
"Hmmm… Here's the little wench, I'll give you a minute. Hurry Ashie, time is ticking… Tick, tick…" He put the phone to Misty's ear and face. "You can talk…"
"Misty?!" Ash was in a panic.
"Ash, oh God, Ash help me! Get me out of here Ash!" Misty cried her body shook in fear afraid that Gary would strike her again.
"Ha, you have no idea how much I wanted to just hear your voice again!" Ash smiled relief washing over him. "Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of there, I'll get you out, and then… Then we can be together, I love you." He smiled to himself picturing the tears in her eyes, tears of joy, but what sickened him the most was that they had to be mixed with such sorrow; he couldn't be there for her. Not at the moment. That's what was getting him the most.
"Ding… Time is up. You will find us at the abandoned warehouse two blocks south of your hotel. Your choice to come is now, or tomorrow. But I can't guarantee that she'll be alive tomorrow… By the way… Your friends… Bring them as well, not just Broke and the lovely Officer Jenny, but Jessy and James. They're staying at the hotel across the way… They've apparently become very close… To each other. However, just to make sure they don't pose a sudden nuisance, bring them. So what will it be now, or never?" Gary smirked sounding almost cheerful on the other line.
Ash looked over at Broke and Jenny before answering. "Now." Ash hung up the phone and stared blankly at the white wall across from him. "We're getting Misty back ourselves, with Jessy and James… Tonight."
