"James? James!" Jessie cried desperately trying to get his attention.

"Ow! What are yous yelling for, I don't see James, Jess." Meowth said following Jessie's gaze.

"What do you mean you can't see him? He's right there!" Jessie pointed once again to the hunched figure, which seemed to be coughing up water by the gallon.

Meowth followed the direction where Jessie was pointing. Sure he saw a figure, but how could Jessie tell it was James? He squinted and only then could he make out the figure's lavender blue hair.

"Oh my Mew! It is Jimmy!" Meowth cried, Pikachu cringed at the use of language, but didn't punish Meowth for it.

Ash and Misty turned at the loud yelling from the end of the path and ran up to Jessie. Brock was already there trying to support a shaking Jessie, he couldn't understand why Jessie was shaking...until he saw the large water spout looming over James.

"Whoa! Is that a Pokemon attack? Let's see what Dexter has to say!" Ash cried joyfully. Misty slapped him, hard, across the face.

"No time for that now let's go help James!"

"Why? I mean he's survived Gyarados attacks far more times then I can count."

"Which is sad since you can only count up to three." Meowth grumbled.

Jessie shook herself out of her trance and started to run towards her fallen partner. "JAMES!!"

*************

Ugh, water, how much he hated the element. James coughed up more water, hoping to get it all out of his system.

"Now dear, we were almost done! How could you've left me?" James turned, frantically and started to drag himself away.

"Tsk, my love, we can't have that can we?" The voice said once again.

James tried to reach for anything on the bank that wasn't already covered in water, he wouldn't touch even if he was dying of dehydration. He couldn't find anything and he started to panic as he felt the same sensation that over took him before, the waterspout. He flinched as the cold water air hit his face. The wind from the spout was hitting all around him and deafening his hearing, but he could've sworn he heard Jessie, no that was impossible. Wasn't it?

"I won't let you leave until we are finished! Even then you shall stay with me and be mine forever!" the waterspout's winds seemed to cry.

*************

Slowing down to a stop, Jessie stared in awe at the sight before her, she hadn't seen anything like it. the water spout seemed to form a figure, it had arms and legs...everything! It seemed to be reaching towards James, who was huddled against the warmth of the land. He seemed to be in shock. Jessie panicked and looked over at the twerps who were also just staring, although Meowth seemed to be more hesitant towards the spectacle. Jessie eye's then landed on Pikachu, her mouth curved into a small grin.

"Pika?" Pikachu felt a strong force pluck him from the safety of his trainers head and throw him into the dangerous winds before him.

"PIKACHU!!" Ash cried trying to get to his friend, but Brock pulled him back from the danger.

"Don't, he'll be fine" Brock said, Jessie nodded in agreement.

Eyes blazing Ash turned on Jessie "Why? Why did you throw Pikachu out there? Don't you know he can get hurt? Are you trying to get back at me? Why?" Ash cried tears flowing.

"He can help James." was all that Jessie said to the raging Pokemon trainer.

"Wha--" Ash then turned towards the water spout and he then made out the figure. "Whoa, is that a Pokemon? And wait it is made out of water!"

"Duh, Ash, we kinda figured that when we found out it was coming from the lake!" Misty cried clutching Togepi for dear life, as if the winds would tear them apart.

"No, I meant I see what Jessie meant! PIKACHU!!" Ash cried loudly trying to overcome the winds.

"Chu?" Pikachu looked at his trainer holding onto the ground with his paws, fearing for it's life.

"THUNDER...shock or bolt, shock or bolt..." Ash pondered.

"JUST PICK ONE!!" Jessie screamed scared for her friend.

"Ok, ok sheesh. PIKACHU THUNDERSHOCK!!"

"PIKA-CHUUUUU!!!!" the yellow mouse cried with all of its might, all towards the water spout that was threatning the Team Rocket member.

*************

What? The twerp's rat. Here? But how? These questions flooded through James mind as he saw the electricity coming towards him.

"NO! NO!! Damn you, my love, you and all of your friends! Why must you leave me? Ah, well you served your purpose, Goodbye my Love, we'll meet again." with that the waterspout dropped down from the sky and into the water.

James fell from the grasp of the spout and fell to the ground. He sighed and collapsed on the ground, not hurt, after all he was used to these kind of falls. James shivered past memories flooding through him and he turned his lips to the ground and kissed it over and over again.

Jessie came running towards her friend and saw him doing these actions, and silently wished it was her, instead of the ground. She knelt down besides James and picked him up in a hug.

"James, are you okay? What happened?" Jessie said holding James in a tight hug, running her hand through his hair.

"Y-yea Jess, I think I am ok, and I'm not sure what happened though." James lied, he knew what happened, at least he thought he did.
