Well, so far being away from Jessie wasn't so bad...oh who was he kidding? James
shook his head: only himself. How was he going to do this? All he had in his
pocket was $5.32, his bottlecaps, and some lint. Wait...his parents! But, then
there's the lake...my gosh he was screwed. He sighed and buried his face into
his daughter, she made a few bubbles with her mouth and put her hands into his
hair, and pulled.
"Ow!" James, for the first time in what seemed like weeks, smiled. The Vaporeon
looked up at him and purred and nudged against James legs. James tore his gaze
away from his child to look at his new Pokemon, his only one in fact.
"Por." The Vaporeon tried again after seeing James expresion "Por, Va Por. Eon."
The Vaporeon sighed and pointed to her mouth.
"Ahh, You're hungry? Hmm...yes that could be a problem..no money...no
food....we're doomed!" James wailed and sat down on the dirty earth, he needed
Jessie. Vaporeon then sighed, and gave James a cold icy water blast. James
then gurgled as the cold water hit him.
"Hey watch it! You could have hit..." James stopped realizing that both of his
two new companions needed names. "That's right you two need names!" He looked
at both of the young females and blinked, "Hmm..well don't shout out all at
once, I guess it's all up to me huh?"
"Por?" The Vaporeon asked in confusion.
"Yup, that's right. Now I'll start with you, no offense but you're a Pokemon
so...people won't give me weird looks if you have a weird name. Let's see how
'bout Squishy?" The Vaporeon gave James an odd look and slapped him with her
tail. "Ow, how is it that everyone likes to hurt me? Okay, I can see that's a
no. How about...Pori?" James braced himself for another whack to his face by
covering his face with his arms, but after awhile nothing came. He looked
through a space between his arms an saw the Vaporeon smiling at him. 'Huh, it
seems Pokemon enjoy nicknames that end with an "e"'.
"Por, vap." Pori looked at James and then nodded her head towards the child in
his arms.
"Hm, yes a name for a human...How about Jamie?" James laughed and shook his head
"Only joking Pori, well...I would've called her Jessie...but it seems she left
me." He smirked in sadness and glanced down towards her daughter, noticing her
light blue hair. "It's so clear." he whispered, "Hey Pori how about Aqua Marie?"
The Vaporeon looked to her new owner and nodded. After all it seemed to fit.
"Vap. Eon" stating how she felt about the name.
"Yes, Aqua Marie." James smiled "Aqua Marie Morgan."
************
James arrived at the gates to his estate and felt even more depressed at the
sign that hung on the gate.
SOLD
"Hmm, well at least I won't have to worry about your former master getting to
us, but now how am I going to get money?" The Vaporeon sighed at the stupidity
of her master and put her paw on something below the sign, it was a note.
John and Victoria Morgan have moved to Port Azul.

"Hey look Pori! We're saved! As long as the nymph was telling the truth,
they'll be happy to lend me money!" The baby in his arms started to wail, after
all it's been a while since she ate. James tried rocking the baby and patting
her back, he wasn't used to having a daughter yet. The young Vaporeon sighed
and snatched the baby away from the confused father and started to rock her,
with her tail. The baby stopped her wailing and started to laugh, Pori looked
at James with a smug smile on her face. James waved her away, "You're a girl,
you have these instincts. Even if you are a Pokemon."
"Por, Por, Va, Vap..Eon!" The Vaporeon retorted. James laughed and said
"Whatever you say Pori, come on let's go to--" James stopped to look at the sign
once again "Port Azul, huh I think that used to be our vacation spot. Ha! So no
worries! We'll get there in no time!"
*2 Weeks and 3 days and 5 hours later......*
"So I may have been wrong. So what? We now know it was to the east not the
west." James said, he now had on a new set of clothes and was fully fed. They
had arrived to his parents new estate only hours before. Pori wouldn't shut up
about James messing up, telling him that they could've died. James shrugged it
off, his daughter was fine and so was he. They had lost the nymph and it's
minions, so everything was just peachy.
When John and Victoria Morgan found their son, nephew...they had to keep that in
mind, at their front door with his baby in his arms...John could've sworn it was
his brother 17 years ago. He quickly shook away that thought and ushered his
son indoors, they remembered everything that they had did to him while Neitur
was in control. They quickly hugged him and cried into his chest begging for
forgiveness, James stared at them confused for a minute before he finally replied
"We're hungry." So now they were all in the kitchen and Victoria was feeding
little Aqua Marie a bottle filled with milk. Aqua Marie greedily suckled at the
bottle, closing her eyes in bliss as she did so.
James looked at his parents and at how happy his charges seemed to be, and
finally asked the question he had been dreading..."So where's Jezebelle?"
"Jezebelle? Oh yes, she ran off with a man named Koji. I can't say I wasn't
upset, but it was all for the better. She was so depressed after finding out
what she did to you dear. She met Koji about 10 months ago...he was very kind
to her in her time of need. I'm glad she finally found the one." Victoria
replied as she sipped her tea.
"Well...good for her." James said with a smile in his face. He was glad that he
wasn't attached to Jezebelle any longer, maybe he would even visit her sometime.
"Son? There's a question I've got for you: How did you manage to feed these
two youngsters without any money?" John asked his son.
"Well, it's surprising at how many kind people there are willing to feed others
(A/N Is it just me or is every one in the Pokemon show kind to the twerps? They
invite them in, feed them, etc. Man...I would love to visit a place with those
kind of people)" James strode over to the refrigerator and popped open the
freezer and yelped in glee.
"You still buy them! After all these years! I love you guys!" James cried as he
pulled out all of the ice cream sandwiches and piled them on the table. It seems
that James doesn't hold grudges...for very long anyways. Victoria and John
Morgan exchanged glances and both sweat-dropped as they saw their son gulping
down the sandwiches in a hurry. Hasn't changed one bit.
************
James sighed as he closed the door of the guest room. He forgot how hard it was
to cover up your true feelings. He hadn't done it since Jessie found out about
his past. He flopped down on the bed and fiddled with the cover sheet, and
started to think of the past events.
A daughter.
Well he thought about it. James closed his eyes in hope of taking a nap, after
all Aqua Marie was happily being cared for by his mother. Suddenly there was a
thump, James eyes shot open. He paused, wondering if the noise was all in his
head, after two mintues he decide it was...until he heard the thump again. Could
it be that Netiur found him? But how? She said her powers could only be used in
her lake.
"Pori?" James asked "Is that you?" no response. James slunk out of the bed and
crouched on the floor, as all paranoid people do first when they hear a noise,
he checked under the bed. A soft growl could be heard...James recognized that
growl...he froze in mock fear. Suddenly the figure launched himself upon him.
"Growlie!" The young father exclaimed in happiness. "I was wondering where you
were! Now why didn't you come and greet me at the door? Gettin old, eh
Growlie?"
"Grow...ith...growl."
"Strange scent? Do you mean Pori?" James asked in confusion. Growlie shook his
head and replied with some low growls.
"Human? But not?" James thought for a second, just a second, until it hit him.
"Of course Aqua Marie! I mean she *is* human, but I can see how she isn't
completely human." as James said this fear slowly made it's way into him. "Oh
no! Do you think Netiur will be after her? I mean the only reason she let her
go was because she was human...but if she wasn't completely human then--" James
broke off muttering to himself and started to pace around in the large room.
"LITHE!" Growlie hated those who paced, it made him uneasy. Besides what was
master talking about anyways? James jumped at the sudden change in tone of his
Growlithe.
"Sorry Growlie. I guess I shouldn't lose my head, huh? But see, if Netiur
didn't even realize Aqua Marie wasn't completely human, then...huh. I guess she
must be really stupid that or very ignorant, but I willing to go with her being
stupid." James took a deep breath and sat down on the bed once again.
"Grow-LI-th." Poor Growlie was left with James ramblings, oh well, however many
screws his master had lost. He still loved him, as to prove the fact Growlie
licked his master's hand.
**Meanwhile back in the kitchen**
"Dear we have to tell him."
"Why?"
"Why!? Why? Because, that's why."
"If we tell him now, he'll be angry at us for not telling him sooner."
"But if he finds out some other way besides us, he'll be even angrier."
"Sssh…Go to sleep little one. That's true."
"So we tell him?"
"Isn't she beautiful John? She has our son's eyes."
"Damn it Victoria! This is exactly why we have to tell him! We can't keep
pretending!"
"...I know John...I know..."
"Victoria, honey, we don't even know what's going on. In order for us to get
the truth out of James, we must do the same for him."
"Oh John, we know enough. Don't we? We know that this is James and that filthy
creature's daughter. That's all I need to know."
"But darling, don't you want to know why?"
"Why, what?"
"Why this chain won't end! First my brother and then James!"
"James is still here, unlike your brother."
"Honey, whatever James is going trough, I'm sure Victor went through it also.
That's why we need to tell him!"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Darling, it was something in their eye's. It was like pain and fear, it really
disturbed me, but both of them had the same look. Exactly the same."
"James had that in his eyes? Our James? The one who was eating ice cream
sandwiches only minutes before?"
"Yes...our James."
"Marie, shhhh, it's ok. Daddy will be here soon. John, I *do* want to know why,
but how do you know James knows 'why'?"
"I don't."
"John, how do you expect us to tell James?"
"So we are going to tell him?"
"Well, we have to don't we?"
As if on cue, James came down the stairs and jumped the last four, Growlie was
trailing behind.
"Now how is my little water droplet?" James asked as he picked up his daughter
and swung her around in his arms. Pori heard her new master's voice and came
trotting into the kitchen. As she caught sight of the baby being swung in James
arms she cried.
"Por, Por, Por va eon*" James laughed and stopped swinging.
"Of course Pori, mother knows best." he said and flicked his finger at Pori's
nose. Pori snorted but smiled and rubbed against his legs. Merely a child, but
already knew how to care for another.
John and Victoria watched the exchange in amusement when suddenly John cleared
his throat. James looked at his father quizzically and asked
"Father, are you sick? Do you need me to run down to the store?"
"No, no son I'm fine, but your mother and I have something to tell you." James
looked at his father and thought 'Oh oh, I've seen this on TV, either someone is
dying or I have a long lost brother.'
"Umm...ok...what?"
"Well, James, we aren't your real..."
"Real what?"
John coughed and looked to his wife for help. Victoria looked at her husband in
return and sighed.
"What your father...uncle is trying to say is that we are not your real
parents." James nodded 'Ah, I was close, I kinda hoped I would have a brother.
Nah, not really.'
"So, you two aren't my parents? Ok, I heard mo-aunt I guess it is? Call you my
uncle? So my father or mother is one of your guy's siblings?"
"Yes, my brother." John spoke up, he was expecting for James to burst out in
surprise, but he seemed to be taking this pretty well.
"Hmm...you know what? I should make an autobiography." James sat down on the
couch letting everything sink in, but it must have been to much for he fainted
as soon as he came in contact with the small cushion.
***********
*Translation: Never, never, never shake a baby. It was a school presentation,
and well I tried to take it seriously, really I did. But there was something
about watching an actor speaking in a monotone about shaking a baby.
Don't worry, I'll never, never, never shake a baby. Maybe a puppy... ^_-
