Chapter one.
* * * It was springtime in Paris and those stupid twerps (otherwise known as Ash, Misty and Brock) were taking a holiday from Pokemon training. Of course, Misty had forced them to go to France as she loved all that 'French stuff'. (Poor France. .). But, that doesn't matter just yet, because 2 people and a Pokemon we all know and love, had just been given an all-expenses-paid vacation by their Boss, also to France. After recovering from the initial shock that the Boss was actually giving them something, Jessie, James and Meowth happily accepted without second thoughts. They had waited so long for a vacation and planned what to do when they got one, they jumped at the chance. Giovanni had something else in store for them, though.
* * *
"I don't believe da Boss actually gave us a break!" Meowth exclaimed to Jessie and James, as they sped off on their first class private boat, or it might have been an airplane? No, it was a boat. Jessie put her arms behind her head and sighed.
"Not that France is my idea of a perfect vacation," she muttered, imagining a more exotic place with sunsets, beaches and Ja.um, hunky lifeguards. And no Meowth.
"Oh, come on Jess! I think if the Boss had sent us to Gringy City, I'd be happy," said James. Both Jessie and Meowth gave him weird looks. James blushed. "Maybe that was a bad example, but still, the Boss has given us a -"
"I know, I know!" Jessie snapped. Maybe she should be glad about it. But she still had a lingering worry that this situation just wasn't right. The Boss wouldn't just suddenly give them a holiday, in first class hotels and transport unless he had something ulterior in mind. Especially after the amount of times they'd screwed up. She tried to shake the feeling off as the boat/ferry thing came into the harbor.
"We're here! We're here!" shouted James and Meowth and they both clambered over Jessie to get out.
"Hey! Do you mind?!" screamed Jessie, hitting them both with a mysteriously gotten mallet. "Haven't you ever heard of ladies first?!"
Meowth scratched her. "Quit being so cranky! There's a new law that says Pokemon goes first now!"
"My face!! You mangy alley cat!"
"Mangy alley cat! You can talk!"
"Why you-!"
James sighed. Hopefully they'd calm down soon, otherwise this vacation was going to be hell.
* * *
The Boss was sitting in the shadows, pondering. He was sure that Jessie and James would be perfect for his plan. Jessie had a strong will and steely determination to get what she wanted. Molded and trained in the right way, Jessie could go far. He wasn't as confident about James, but after employing certain relatives of his, Giovanni was sure he'd be perfect. Now, how to trick them to do as he wanted.The Boss blinked a couple of times, trying to conjure up some inspiration. He flicked through a file of employees until he found.perfect! He picked up the phone and started dialing. A deep, manly voice with a pronounced French accent floated through the receiver.
"Bonjour! Zees is ze Lauette residance, well, one of zem anyway. We are not at 'ome right now. If you work for Team Rocket press 1 and leave a message. If you do not work for Team Rocket, put down zee phone and run, because we can trace you and we will kill you. Au revoir!"
Giovanni growled. An answer phone! How he hated that man! He couldn't place his finger on why, though. Something about his manner, or maybe the way his most evil employee had fallen in love with him. No matter, Giovanni had to find a replacement. Wait. What was it that Jem had said in his message? One of them anyway? Something clicked in his head. Of course! Jem's little brother, the hyperactive one! He'd be even better. In the shadows, Giovanni smiled, an evil smile and started dialing. A woman's voice replied.
"Bonjour! You have reached ze first Lauette residance. We are not at 'ome right now.."
"AARGH!" Giovanni slammed the phone down. He sighed resignedly and decided to just phone the Trainee base.
* * *
As soon as they alighted, James and Meowth's eyes lit up. This was a food lover's paradise! Each restaurant was unique with different menus. While James and Meowth were still drooling, Jessie took a good look at her surroundings. They looked quite normal, but there was something out of place. The atmosphere was nervous, as if these people were expecting something bad to happen at any moment.
"Hey, Jess! Where are we staying tonight?" James interrupted Jessie from her thoughts. She looked at him a while then came back to herself.
"Wait a second, James!" she replied angrily. " The Boss said we were to stay at the.L'etoile Hotel for the first night, then it's up to us."
"What's up to us?"
"Where we stay, lamebrain!"
"Oh."
"Hey! Let's go! Once we've booked our rooms, we can go on an all night food fest!" Meowth shouted, and ran off in the direction he thought the hotel was. James cheered and ran off after him. Jessie sighed. Men! Then she noticed they'd left her to carry the luggage.
"Grrrr. What 'till I get a hold of you!" She screamed and people gave her weird looks until she glared at them and they carried on their way
* * *
Next to L'etoile hotel, there was an alleyway where a young man, about Jessie and James' age, stood waiting. Well, he didn't exactly stand, he sort of jogged up and down on the spot. He was wearing a uniform much the same as James' with a thick black rubber band around his left arm. He was tall, with a good-looking boyish face, startling manic green eyes and dark reddy-brown hair and a curtained fringe parted in the middle. He was waiting for a messenger from the Boss. He was quite surprised actually, that the Boss knew who he was and that he wanted to speak to him. Funny how he never wanted to speak to anyone on payday though.
"Monsieur Jeremy Lauette?" Queried a voice from behind him. Jeremy turned around to see a man wearing a black trench coat, sunglasses and a hat.
"Y'know, it's really stupid to go around in that 'cause you look much more suspicious y'know?!" he commented. "Well, whaddya want?"
"The Boss has a special and confidential mission for you. You are not to stop the P.E.L. stealing any Pokemon."
"What? Is that all? Why? That's a bit stupid innit?" The man shifted about, uncomfortable that this young trainee had just called the Boss' plan stupid.
"I'm afraid I cannot give you any more details on the mission. The only other person who must know is your partner, Meli Mula Azaki. Do you understand?"
"Oh, her!" Jeremy blew his fringe. "Yeah, I understand." Then he made a move as if he were about to attack the man. "Well, go then!" The man backed out of the alley, wondering why he was scared of a mere trainee. His air was just so aggressive.
Jeremy sighed. He'd hoped it was something a little more exciting. He had so much energy and he just wanted to let it out. He looked out to the bustling streets of Calais, and then turned to find his partner.
* * *
"What?!" cried Jessie, James and Meowth.
"I'm sorry, but this card is not valid anymore," replied the hotel receptionist nervously. She was referring to the credit card the Boss had given the trio to pay for all their expenses.
"But, but."
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave otherwise I'll have to call the authorities in."
Outside the building, (my sister has a sick mind!) Jessie, James and Meowth sighed.
"I might of known the Boss wouldn't just give us a vacation without a catch," Jessie lamented.
"Well, maybe he forgot. or summin'." Meowth finished lamely.
"Yeah, Meowth, sure! And maybe he dresses in tutu's and dances the Macarena!" Meowth looked away. "Please tell me he doesn't?"
"Well."
"Hey, guys!" interrupted James. "I just thought of something. Didn't the Boss also say that card was going to be used to pay for our fare home?"
"Yeah! Jimmy's right!"
"Which means." Jessie looked fearfully at her partner.
"We're stuck here!" Finished James. They clung to each other. "With no food!"
"Or money!"
"And no luggage." Jessie and James looked over to were their luggage was. Well, it wasn't there anymore. "Somebody musta it nicked when you two were having one of your hugging sessions."
Jessie blushed and hit Meowth. "Shut it Meowth! It's your fault! You should have been watching our stuff!"
"Well, what do we do know, Jess!?" Whined James. Jessie shook her head. She was too tired for all this, but she had to keep up her front.
"I don't know! Why am I always the one to get you two out of trouble!"
"Hey! I know da Boss is my trainer, but.ya don't think he sent us here to get rid of us?" This was a worrying thought, but a little illogical. If the Boss wanted to get rid of you, he'd simply just kill you.
"He might have sent us here to get killed!" They were both getting a little hysterical. It was time for Jessie to make the peace, again.
"Listen, Shut up a second!" Jessie took a guidebook out of her nonexistent pocket. "First we need to find a free place to stay.hmm, ah ha! This place.The Gai Dortoir."
"Jessie, that's a dormitory, which means we'll be staying with a likely two hundred other people!"
"James, it's free, with free food." That got James.
"Food? Let's go then!"
"Wait a minute, Mr! This time, your carrying the luggage!" She shouted after him. James turned round and smiled at her.
"Of course, Jessie," he said, still smiling. He picked up the luggage and started walking. Jessie was about to follow when she noticed Meowth had been a little too quiet. She turned around a saw him looking at a very pretty female Meowth across the street, drooling slightly. The female Meowth was smiling coyly and twiddling one of the ribbons on her whiskers. Jessie sighed.
"Meowth, come on!"
"I'll catch ya up later."
"Oh, no you won't!" She grabbed his tail and dragged him along after James.
* * *
Myaas looked across the street to the Meowth being dragged away by a redheaded woman and giggled. She liked him, different from the Meowth's around here in appearance and so maybe different in personality? And he probably wasn't related to her.She was about to go after him when she saw a brother slinking out of an alleyway.
"Nya nya nya," she demanded. ("What do you want")
Nya looked after the people and Meowth walking or being dragged to the dormitories. "Nya nya nyarth nya?" he said, more to himself than anyone else. ("Who are they?")
"Nya nyanyar." ("Probably just some tourists")
Nya shook his furry head, not convinced and proceeded to follow them. Why would tourists come to this part of France after what was happening?
* * *
When the trio arrived at the Gai Dortoir, they were greatly disappointed. This place looked like a mental institute! It was built with a dull gray metal and was just huge and uncannily square. They shuddered and went in.
An uptight woman was mopping the lino floors. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" She demanded without even looking up.
"What? Look, we just want a couple of beds for the night!" Yelled a stressed out Jessie.
"And some food," added James quietly.
The woman looked up and adjusted her glasses. "Oh, you speak English? Well calm down and wait a sec. Manners don't cost a penny."
"Good, because we don't have any money," muttered Jessie.
"Now, only two beds-"
"Hey, Whatta 'bout Meowth!"
The woman smiled tightly. "Aaaah. How cute. Did you teach him to do that? Well, we don't offer beds for Pokemon, not enough room. You'll stay in dorm 12 in beds a and b, Ok?"
"Where's that?"
"On the top floor. I'm afraid we don't have lifts for.safety reasons."
"What?!" shrieked Jessie. "We can't carry this all the way up there!"
"Well, then, don't stay here."
James, seeing his partner was in distress, did the wise thing. Which did not include running. He picked up the cases and started on the steep, sticky stairs.
* * *
Nya looked around the door of the dormitories. The woman was still mopping. Good. He slunk in.
* * *
When they had finally climbed those horrible stairs, James collapsed on to a bed. Which hurt because the beds also seemed to be built out of metal, like a hospital bed. No, worse. (Yeah, and don't I know what that's like)
"Thanks James." James nearly fainted. Jessie was actually thanking him?! "Look, I'm going for a walk." James looked up.
"Are you ok Jess?"
"I'm fine!" and she walked out. James was just left with the grumbling of Meowth over the fact he was NOT a circus cat!
* * *
Jessie breathed in the fresh air. She knew something had to go wrong, but why was the Boss doing this? At least there was no Team Rocket in France. She started walking towards a foressty looking bit behind the.institute. How long was she going to be able to keep her face? Jessie was an easily stressed person, which made her appear bossy and quick-tempered.
"Who's there?" she shouted, suddenly. She had heard a noise, a rustling noise from behind her. It came again and Jessie ran, right into someone. "Hey, watch where you're going!" She looked up, right into a pair of cold, insane blue eyes. Jessie blinked. She'd bumped into a women who appeared to be wearing a Meowth costume. A very good one. She had a gold coin on her forehead and two Meowth ears poked out of her wavy brown hair. A small fang poked out of her tightly closed mouth. Both her and Jessie rose at the same time. The woman was at least a foot taller than her, with long, long legs and a skeletal body hidden mostly by along black dress. The noise came again and Jessie looked behind her. When she looked back , the woman had gone. Jessie shook her head and started back. She was willing to convince herself that she was just imagining things. As she stumbled back to the dorm, she remembered what was on the front of the black dress the woman was wearing. A red 'R'.
