No good deed goes unpunished
Special Thank you: This chapter goes out to Martial Arts Master, who helped me fix a MAJOR problem with the last chapter! Thanks again, Martial Arts Master!

Josh looks at his gun with a look of primal anger in his eyes
Josh: As soon as I find those son-of-a-bitches, I'm going to give them both a head like a hole!!!
Walking to the door, he tries to turn the doorknob, but soon learns that it's locked from the outside
Josh: (coolly) No problem. I've got my own personal lock pick.
He attaches a silencer from his pocket onto the gun and starts shooting at the doorknob. After a short while, the knob becomes so bullet-ridden that it falls off the door and allows Josh to open it with great ease.
Josh: Now to find those sick fucks and put an end to this once and for all!
But as he starts to walk out of the room, he hears Meowth start to wake up behind him
Meowth: Josh.. Where are ya going? (Looks down at his freed limbs) And why aren't I tied up anymore?
Josh: Meowth, why are you up?!?
Meowth: That's not the question here. I asked you where are you going???
Josh: If you must know, I'm going to find Jessibelle and Harris and give them both a little present from my magnum!
Meowth: Then I'm going with you! I want first crack at the both of them!
Josh starts to say no but, thinking back on it, he realizes that Meowth has every right to get his paws on the two for what they've done to him and his friends
Josh: (sighs) I hope this isn't a huge mistake but.. (reaches in his pocket and hands Meowth a handgun) Don't ever leave my side, got that???
Meowth: (taking the gun) Loud and clear, sir!
The two of them head out of the room and start to make their way down the hall, looking in and out of rooms for Harris and Jessibelle
Josh: Where could they be? This isn't exactly a mansion!
Meowth: Yeah, you'd think they be eas..
Suddenly the cat gasps and clutches at the back of his head. Josh, hearing his pal's sudden gasp, turns around in time to see him fall motionless to the ground with Jessibelle standing over him with a tranquilizer gun
Josh: (terrified) Meowth!!! (looks up and sees Jessibelle standing triumphantly over Meowth's body)
Jessibelle: You should have stayed in your room, little boy.
Josh: You... how could you do this?!?
Jessibelle: Easily, I just crept into the closet, knowing you'd try and escape, and waited for you two to emerge from your holding cell. Now, MY friend will help me get you to Harris with anymore distractions!!! (reaches in her pocket and pulls out a pokeball) Vileplume, g.
Before she can toss the pokeball, Josh puts a bullet through it, shattering it and, in effect, destroying her Vileplume as well, much to her shock
Jessibelle: (momentarily stunned) My... my vileplume!!! (gets herself back together and with a tone of anger in her voice) You shouldn't have done that, I'll make sure you die a slow, painful death!
Josh: You're sick, you know that!! All this talk of being prim and proper... and yet you feel it proper to team up with a sick fuck like Sythe. You should kn..
Jessibelle: (spitting at Josh) I know all about his past, after all I was the one who helped him escape.
This news strikes Josh very hard
Josh: (strangled) Wh-what?!? You're the one who helped him escape?!?!? But why???
Jessibelle: Why? Because James should be mine! He's my ticket to wealth and eternal luxury! After he got away from me the last time, I spent the rest my time looking for a way to get to him!!! Then I found out Harris and came up a plan to get rid of that slut, Jessie (she spits in contempt at the name) and make James mine, in effect making me heir to the Morgan fortune! You, that freak cat, and that runty kid were all bonuses! Besides, after all the hate your family's had of me, I was more than happy to help him get his hands on you!!! That inheritance should have been mine, not yours you little brat!!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE!!!!!
Josh: (stunned) My god... You... you're only concerned about the money aren't you?!? (frantic and angry) YOU'D WILLINGLY KILL YOUR OWN COUSIN AND INNOCENT PEOPLE AND TURN A POOR MAN INTO YOUR PRISONER JUST TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK?!? (low) I never knew you could be so twisted! Now I do..
Jessibelle: Oh give me a break, you can't tell me you wouldn't want to gain eternal happiness and wealth!
Josh: If it meant taking innocent lives and hurting good people, then FUCK NO!!!!
Jessibelle: You're pathetic, you can always get new friends. But to become rich is an once-in-a-lifetime chance!
Josh: That's where you're wrong, you twisted little cunt! Friends are always a being's most valued possession. Not money, jewels, diamonds, or even immortality! If you have loyal friends, you're already wealthy.
Jessibelle: That's a load of shit and you know it!
Josh: (coldly) Now that's not proper language, is it?
Jessibelle: (sputtering) But... but...
Josh: You never were proper at all, were you? You were just faking it to impress James parents.. No wonder he hated you!
Jessibelle: No.. I am proper!!! (shouting) JAMES LOVES ME!!!!!!!!!
Josh: (fiercely) Quit kidding yourself, he never loved you at all!
Jessibelle gasps in dismay
Josh: (even more fiercely) Now tell me where the fuck is Harris, you traitorous little bitch, or else I'll do to you what I'm going to do to him!
Jessibelle: (screeching) I'll never tell. James will be MINE!!!!
Jessibelle lunges for Josh, but is met with a quick roundhouse kick right to her head, knocking her out
Josh: (laughs) You're sad. You're not even worth killing!
Jessibelle slowly gets into a sitting position next to Meowth's body
Jessibelle: (clearly out of her mind) You can't win! No matter what you try and do, James will be my husband and I'll be the world's richest woman! I'll be in paradise!!! The world's riches will be mine!!!!
Josh uses his gun to give her a single pistol-whip upside the head, sending her into unconsciousness. Then he turns to Meowth and, after pulling the dart out of Meowth's forehead, starts trying to get the pokemon to wake up.
Josh: (panicked) Meowth, please wake up! Please!!!
Getting no response from Meowth, Josh lets out a sorrowful moan and starts to pick up his limp body
Josh: (trying not to cry) Meowth, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.
Josh cradles Meowth in his arms, leaving the handgun and vileplume's shattered pokeball behind.
Josh: (very emotional) At least I can let your body be with your friends one last time.
Stepping over Jessibelle, Josh heads to where the others are being kept. Once he gets in the room, he places Meowth next to a motionless Jessie and James
Josh: So long Meowth... I'll never forget the brave sacrifices you and your friends made...
Josh turns around and looks at Mondo, who's been battered to a point of near-death
Josh: Mondo... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...
Josh frees Mondo from his confines and, after watching him collapse onto the floor, drags him over to Jessie's form
Josh: (letting the tears fall freely now) I'm so sorry I failed you all, I'm so sorry...
As Josh starts to cry, he hears a soft, but audible cry come from Meowth's body. As he looks up, he sees Meowth start to stir. Then, to his amazement, Meowth actually gets up and soon, Jessie starts to as well.
Josh: (in shock) What the?!? Can this be??
Meowth: (a little slurred) Can what be??
Josh runs over to him and gives the cat-pokemon a big hug, then does the same to a slowly awakening Jessie
Jessie: (a little puzzled) Josh, what the?!?
Josh: I thought you guys were. were...
Jessie sees Mondo's body and screams in terror
Jessie: MONDO!!! (faces Josh) What happened?!?
Josh: Look, (pulls out a spare cell-phone from his pocket and gives it to Jessie), you need to call 911 NOW! James and Mondo need help! You and Meowth may need it as well from whatever Jessibelle drugged you two with!
Meowth: You don't need to tell us twice!
Josh turns and starts to walk out of the room
Jessie: But what about...
Josh: I've got some unfinished business to take care of! (turns to Meowth) This time, stay here! I've got to take care of the other sicko alone!
Meowth: Whatever you say, sir!
Josh walks out of the room, leaving a bewildered and worried Team Rocket behind, and heads down the hall towards a door at the very end of it. Upon reaching the door, he shoots off the lock and opens it to reveal a dark staircase.
Josh: Harris, you will pay DEARLY for all of this!
Josh walks down the staircase and sees portraits of the remains of Sythe's past victims on the walls all the way down it
Josh: (trying to avoid looking at the gruesome photos on the walls) For humanity's sake, Harris must be stopped!
Soon he reaches the bottom of the stairs and, after shooting up another locked door, enters a dimly lit hall with a candlelit door at the end
Josh: Well.. (walking along the hall) For Jessie.. James.. Meowth.. Mondo.. Mom.. Dad.. and everyone he's murdered.. it's time to finish this off once and for all!!!
Shooting off the door's lock, he opens it to reveal a sort of candlelit torture chamber, with a guillotine, electric chair, chains, and even a rack. (A/N: One would almost think of it as Chief Irons private chambers from RE2, only a little bit more blood-stained)
Josh: (appalled) My god. What kind of sick freak are you, Sythe?
A cold, maniacal voice: The kind who's been waiting for this moment of revenge for a long time!
As Josh looks on in horror, a figure carrying a big knife in one hand and a gin bottle in the other and wearing a black coat, and black jeans emerges from the shadows of the rack. As the figure steps into the light, we see that his black-haired face is nothing but a shallow shark grin, a demonic look in his green eyes, and a look of pure hatred. It is the face and figure of Harris Sythe.
Harris: (coldly) A very, very, long time..
Harris laughs in a way that could only be described as inhuman as Josh looks at him in utter disgust and hatred
