"So, you're telling me you got fired from Team Rocket and-" Amy Lee started. "No! I told you I quit before I was fired!" James blurted out. It was about sunset and they had decided to set up a little camp in a clearing in the forest. They were sitting on their sleeping bags. "Sure you did…. But anyways, you quit Team Rocket and left your friends behind? That's kinda sad for you and your friends." Amy Lee continued. "Well I didn't want them to loose their job because of me. They deserve better than me anyways…" James sighed sadly. "Oh, come on! You really think to lowly of yourself. I agree, your life hasn't been the best, but trust me, mine's been worse." Amy Lee said reassuringly. "Why? What's so bad about your life?" James questioned. "Eh, you wouldn't care about my life. Why bother asking?" She said, her voice softening. "I would care, and I bet your life is better than mine after I hear it." James said. "Fine!" Amy Lee snapped. "But don't blame me if you don't like it!"

"Me, my mom, and my dad were in a safari zone looking at a group of Nidoqueens and Nidokings. My mom and dad hopped over the fence and told me to stay on the other side, in case they charged. I was really worried but I believed that they would be safe, I thought nothing could hurt them. So, they went out into the field, closer to the Pokemon. When they flashed their cameras they had forgotten to turn off the flash and the light seemed to anger the Pokemon. They charged towards my parents and trampled them. I was only five at the time and the sight scarred me for life. After that I ran to the gates screaming and crying. They asked me what was wrong and I told them. They were very sorry about it and soon I was sent off to an orphanage. I was a loner there. I had no friends and sulked the whole time I was there. I learned to block all of my emotions except anger from anyone. I locked my soul and heart away. The first year I cried everyday. Then the years after that the crying soon stopped and I turned my sadness into anger. Beating up any kid at the orphanage that did something to annoy me. I ended up staying at that same orphanage for nine and a half years. I never talked to anyone. On my fifteenth birthday they let me go on my own. That was only a year ago. I'm sixteen now and I'm still a loner. I became a Pokemon trainer to get my mind off of my parents and everything else in the world. But now I've lost my Pokemon too. I'm beginning to think I should just give up. No one cares about me anyways. No one but my parents ever did."

Tears began to form in Amy Lee's eyes but she quickly wiped them away. She hadn't told anyone about her life and hearing it coming from her own lips made it even harder. Why was she loosing grip on her emotions so quickly around this guy? I guess I just feel safe around him is all… She wondered. "Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. Your life is really bad." James said sadly. He tried to put a comforting arm around Amy Lee's shoulders but she moved away from him. "I'm going to take a walk I'll be back later, ok?" Amy Lee said, not looking at him. "Ok. Hurry back soon and be careful." James replied. James hoped she would be ok, she seemed really run down.
Amy Lee ran through the forest until she came to a small lake and sat down against a large rock. She soon began sobbing. How come she was acting like this all of a sudden? She was supposed to be strong. But now it seemed that everything that meant anything to her had been taken away. "How can the world be so cruel?!" Amy Lee cried. Her sobbing soon quieted, and her mind began to wonder. She remembered when she first saw James, his emerald eyes filled with concern. She thought she had seen her knight in shining armor, someone who could help her and give her comfort. Strangely, she had never wanted that from any other man that came her way. She also thought he was pretty cute. But when she saw his shirt and that emblem it seemed her life was crashing again and her knight had fallen off his horse. She was never one to go love crazy over a man, but this one caught her eye. She wanted to believe the story he told her and hoped he was being truthful, but it seemed so hard to trust anyone. So hard…She thought, but maybe, maybe just this once something can go right in my miserable life.
It was soon pitch black and she knew James would probably worry, at least she hoped he was worried about her. She walked quickly the way she had come, trying to remember exactly. It wasn't to long before she saw a clearing and a small fire built. She peaked around a bush and gasped. It was those two people from Team Rocket who had taken her Pokemon! She quickly ran away from the clearing and came to another clearing. This time it was where James was. She was sitting with his back turned to her and taking something out of the fire. She walked up and plopped down beside him. "Watcha doin'?" She asked casually. James jumped and yelped. "You scared me! You shouldn't sneak up on people like that, especially out here in the dark." James scolded. Amy Lee giggled, she was beginning to like giggling, and asked again, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what are you doing?" "Oh, I just got through cooking us something to eat. Try some!" James encouraged. "Fine, fine. But if there is poison or anything wrong with this I swear my soul will haunt you!" She promised. She grabbed her plate and took a small bite. "Hey, this isn't that bad!" she said eating a bigger bite. "Thanks, I used to cook all the time for Jessie and Meowth." James bragged. Amy Lee quickly finished her plate and shortly after James finished his. "I'm gonna go change behind those trees. If I catch you spying on me you'll be in a world of hurt for a long time." Any Lee said and marched off with her backpack behind a group of trees. James shuddered then said, " Ok, I'm gonna go change behind those bushed over there." He pointed to some bushes and walked over with his own backpack. James was done quickly, dressed in a muscle shirt and his boxers, and walked over to lie down on his sleeping bag. Soon Amy Lee came out dressed in a baggy shirt and a pair of boy's boxers. She found James lying down looking up at the stars, mouthing something. "Watcha mumbling?" Amy Lee asked. "Huh? Oh just the old motto Jessie and I used to say all the time." James replied looking over to Amy Lee. He wondered why she would wear boxer but guessed because they were comfortable. "Oh," she said and laid down on her sleeping bag, which was next to his, "Would you recite it for me?" "Um, well ok," James said and quietly began his face turning a light shade of pink,
" Prepare for trouble,
And make it double,
To protect the world from devastation,
To unit all people within our nation,
To denounce the evils of truth and love,
To extend our reach to the stars above,
Jessie,
James,
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light,
Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth that's right!"
"Wow, that's really cool! Well, I'm off to sleep, and don't get any ideas!" Amy Lee exclaimed. "Ok, good night." James said and got into his sleeping bag. He rolled over so that his back was to her and she soon heard light snoring. She giggled quietly and crawled into her sleeping bag. She knew she wouldn't have to worry. Soon she was asleep as well.
