**~2 years later~**
"Oy Jess! Wake up! We have a meetin with da boss in 15 minutes!" a small charm-cat could be seen atop of a woman with a beatiful face, yet it had seemed tired and older than it actually was.
"Tell 'im to wait! I need to get my beauty sleep after all!" Meowth smiled at Jessie's words, he loved it when she acted like she use too. It had been 2 long years since Jessie decided to leave James. Meowth was still a bit angry at her for not letting him decide on what to do, he was also angry for her leaving poor James in the forest alone without any Pokemon.
"Pfft, no amount of sleep in the world would be able ta help ya!" Meowth jumped off from Jessie's stomach and headed towards the door. "Don't forget to bring the boss's new Pokemon!" a while later the charm-cat was gone from the room.
Jessie sighed and got up from her bed, during the past two years, Meowth and Jessie moved up on the Team Rocket rank. They were no longer the two failures they used to be, now they were the two top agents since Myamato. Why had this happened? Many were disappointed in Jessie and Meowth, they thought that they were going to be the ones to go far in the world. The ones who would be free from Team Rocket, then they thought maybe it had to do with James' death. After all he and Jessie were close.
The young top Team Rocket member quickly got dressed and looked at herself in the mirror. She could see the bags under her eyes from sleepless nights, she could see faint signs of aging. This wasn't supposed to happen! She was supposed to have her beauty forever! Then again...she was supposed to have James forever...she remembered how she told Giovanni that James died on a mission. He believed it, and why shouldn't he? Jessie seemed depressed enough.
Jessie growled at her reflection and shoved her fist through the mirror. The small pieces of glass nipped at her flesh, causing wounds to start up. She quickly snapped out of her funk and looked at her hand in horror. What was she becoming?
**~~**
Jessie moaned as she wrapped her hand in a bandage. She then fell down onto her bad and wept.
"...Jess?" The charm-cat's head peeked from the doorway. He saw her crying and hesitated on going to her side, he finally decided that Jessie need a friend now...not a partner. "Hey Jess, what's up?" he asked, as if she wasn't crying.
"Go away. I'm fine." she sniffled, trying to hold her sobs in.
"Please! Don't give me dat! I'm here fer ya!" Meowth cried out.
"You wouldn't understand..." Meowth felt his fur bristle.
"Dontcha tell me what I wouldn't understand! I've been through the same things as ya have!" Meowth shouted, in hopes that Jessie would tell him what was wrong.
"I miss James! Ok? I know I shouldn't but..."
"Why shouldn't ya? He was your friend for many years! Yer best friend! I miss old Jimmy too!"
"It-it was more than that...."
"More? 'Ow?" He asked with a slight Meow.
"I don't really know...it's just seeing him there standing with a baby...his baby...James' baby...but not Jessie..." Meowth gaped at her words.
"Ya luv' 'im?"
"Loved him, Meowth, loved."
"B-But Jess! You gave poor Jimmy no time to explain! How do you know--" Meowth was broken off by Jessie.
"How do I know!? No one has a child with someone they don't love!"
"Jess, you don't know that!" Meowth pleaded at her, he always hated being torn apart from James, maybe this was his chance to create their Team Rocket again. "Jess, maybe he didn't love her...maybe it was a mistake! You just left 'im, and you're not even sure why!"
"...It has been two years Meowth, all of that is in the past." Jessie stood up from the bed and grabbed the Pokeball that sat atop of the desk. "Now come on, we're late." Meowth sighed and bounded off after her.
**~~**
"A Dratini? You brought me another Dratini?" Giovanni asked inspecting the dragon Pokemon.
"We could get ya sometin else if ya'd like." Meowth commented, his paws held up in the defense stance.
"Yes...In fact I've been hearing about a certain Pikachu-" Jessie groaned.
"Please sir, you know our needs. No Pikachu hunting, we've had enough of that."
"Yes, but if you get me this, I'll be sure your reward will be great." He pulled out a checkbook from the pocket of his jacket. He scribbled some numbers and handed the check to Jessie. Meowth clambered up Jessie's shoulder and his eyes widened at the number on the check.
"T-this is very generous of you sir...and all of this, for a Pikachu?" Jessie stuttered out, and Giovanni held up his finger.
"Not just any Pikachu, this one can control water, or so I hear."
"Oh? And how do we now which Pikachu is which? I mean...how do we know that we'll get the one for you?" Giovanni chuckled and stood up and walked to his cabinet. He opened the drawer and pulled out a vanilla folder. He opened it up, flipping through the pages, and finally threw it at Jessie.
"This information, shall help you greatly." Jessie caught the folder and stared down at the label. Victor Morgan; Classified.
**~~**
We see a young man, with a young girl playing with his hair. We peer down closer and take in our surroundings. They're in a shop, we step outside of the small store and see the name of it. 'Sparkling Statues' We peer through the window and see millions of Pokemon throughout the store. We gasp at the many different legendary Pokemon, we then see how they are unmoving. We frown and realize that they are statues, very realistic ones. We smile and walk inside into the store once again.
"Daddy, pwease can I go to the bweach?"
"I told you wait for Grand-pa." The young man sighed as he wiped down a Charmander lamp. The young man then watched it shine in the light, he smiled and flicked the light switch on. The girl stopped her whining and laughed gleefully.
"I made that one!" She cried and hugged her dad. "Pwease can I keep it?" she gave him the lip and teared up her eyes.
"Pumpkin, if you keep all of the ones you make, how are we going to sell anything?"
"I dunno, I saw something on TV, and they said I could make lemonage to make moneys."
"Why make lemonade when you can make Popsicles?" The girl looked at him confused and then she started to laugh.
"I can make ice cream too! And I make good statues, right?"
"Yea, right." The man rolled his eyes and made a face at her.
"Aw, com' on Daddy! You paint ok too!"
"What do you mean 'ok'?" He grabbed her and started tickling her. She started to struggle in his grasp laughing and kicking.
"I's gots to go pee!" She cried out and so James finally let go of her. She gave a lop-sided smile and jumped on her dad.
"Just kitting!" she cried as she started to tickle her father.
"Stop!" He laughed "That's cheating!" With a tinkle of the bell, a woman walked through the door. She glanced at them with a raised eyebrow and broke out in a grin.
"Honey!" James cried. "You're here early!" He pushed Aqua-Marie off of him and she giggled.
"Well yes, they let out school early today!" The young girl laughed and beckoned Aqua-Marie to her. Aqua Marie smirked at her father and jumped into Itsumu's arms.
"Mommy, can I go to the bweach?" James dusted him self off and walked over to his wife, he tripped over the lamp cord and fell flat on his face. The Charmander lamp shattered, and Itsumu gasped.
"James are you all right?" James groaned and sat up.
"Not again! It's a miracle how this business managed to stay up for a year! I really should close it down..."
"James don't you dare! This is the place were I met you and Marie!" Itsumu extended her hand and James took it and swirled her around.
"I remember Darling, I will never forget it! I was working on the block of ice* that Marie froze up, carving it into a..Meowth. When you walked in! You with your beautiful brown hair," the lavender-headed young man ran his fingers in a circular motion through her hair. "And your beautiful brown eyes, such loveliness." He smiled and pulled her into a kiss.
"Yes...I remember how startled I was when I saw your daughter. When I saw her creating that ice, with Pori...I nearly screamed!"
"You did, hon!"
"I did?" James nodded. He then bent down and picked up Aqua-Marie.
"Here take her to her grand-pa, and then we can have some time alone." He winked and Itsumu blushed. Suddenly a loud explosion that could be heard from outside, James yelled to Itsumu to hold on to Marie. He ran to the back of the store with both of them and huddled in the closet.
"Prepare for trouble!" No...it can't be!
"And make it one 'n a half!" Itsumu was crying and holding onto Marie. Marie clutched at her and kept muttering 'Mommy' over and over again.
"To protect the world from devastation!" James then heard the door to the store open. He told his family to stay in place and peeked through the back door.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" James the gasped and went to the front of the store.
"Jessie?"
"James?"
**~~**
Short ja? *dodges flames* I didn't make Itsumu up! In a future episode James falls in love with her X_o What a breaker for Rocketshippers huh? I think he even wanted to leave Team Rocket to stay with her, but they managed to blast off before he could do so.
*Aqua-Marie has the same powers as her actual birth mother, but not her appearece. The nymph doesn't know this ^_-
