Well, you were warned last chapter of the mushiness to approach! XD
James was sitting cross-legged in front of the glass where Meowth had woken up a while ago but the rays had already got to work and now he was facing the other side of the dome, doing his best to ignore everyone else and scratching the glass, luckily while they were gone, nurse joy had reinforced the glass so there would be no scratching his way out this time
Ash: pikachu, why did you go after Meowth?
Pikachu: …well, we're friends, I suppose I was just worried…
Misty: what happened out there anyway?
Pikachu: we found him staring at the moon, he was normal for a few minutes and he was all shaken up, he started going evil again and got in to a fight with a Persian and lost badly, he was in an even worse state after that. Then he fought with another Meowth and lost too and here we are!
Ash: shaken up huh?
Misty: well sure, after turning against your friends you'd be shaken up too
Pikachu: you don't know the half of it! *looks at James*
Everyone else: *looks at James for explanation*
James: …he's really scared you guys,
Everyone took a good look at the cat trying to scratch his way out of his trap
James: I know it seems hard to believe now, but he is scared inside, he doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't wanna hurt anybody but he can't control it!
Jenny: well, I'm not taking any chances, he's not getting out of there until we're sure everyone is safe
At that point, Meowth's eyes returned to their normal light blue and he stopped scratching at the glass. He looked at all the scratch marks in front of him, backed up a few steps and tripped. Staring at the marks he'd put in the glass he jumped to his paws and ran to the other side of the dome where he put his paws over his head and hoped that when he opened his eyes again everything would be back to normal
Jessie: *noticing Meowth* what's he doing now?
Pikachu went up and took a good look at the cat, he had his eyes shut real tight and he was as far away from the scratch marks as he could be
Pikachu: he's alright! It's safe to let him out!
Jenny: nu-uh! Oh no, I'm not letting that cat out, what if this is a trap, all an act to make us feel sorry for him so we'll let him out and he can cause more havoc?!
Joy: oh but jenny, look at his face!
Jenny glanced down at the quivering lump of fur at the side of the dome and turned away again
James: *hand on glass where Meowth was on the other side* it's okay Meowth! Calm down, it'll be okay!
Meowth couldn't hear him through the glass so he just kept cowering in the corner until finally nurse joy 'accidentally' pressed the button to lift the dome enough to let him out. Jenny was about to close the gap again but she was too late, as soon as Meowth saw the gap appear he squeezed out from underneath it and jumped into James's arms who was readying a hug for him. Everyone was quiet just watching and waiting to see if he would attack, he was crying again, he tried to hold it back but he knew he was out of control and there was nothing he could do about it. Officer jenny stood above him threateningly,
Jenny: now listen here Meowth, you're under the control of radiation from the moon, it's making you too dangerous to be around people, so if you don't mind, I'd like you to get back inside that dome!
Meowth grabbed tightly onto James's shirt and refused to let go
Pikachu: can he really be that bad officer jenny? I mean, so far he's only bit James twice and that's it for attacking people, and he lost both fights with other pokemon!
Jenny showed them the simulation again, why, I'll never know, but she showed them Meowth walking in, turning bad and attacking what everyone hoped would never be them. At the end she tried to tell Meowth that unless he got in the dome or a cage she had brought from the station then that trainer in the simulation could be James but Meowth wouldn't listen, he couldn't listen, his heart was racing, he was shaking and bawling more then ever now. Pikachu jumped out in front of him and threatened to thunderbolt jenny if she didn't back off
Ash: pikachu, jenny's the police, she's here to help, what are you doing?!
Pikachu: well, she may be here to help but she's not helping!
Jessie: what do you mean? she's just trying to keep us all safe!
James: Jessie, look!
James held Meowth out to her, one touch and she knew what was wrong, she could feel his heart, his shaking and his fur which was damp with tears
James: she's not keeping us all safe, poor Meowth's terrified!
Suddenly his eyes began to glow, the terrified look in his eyes turned angry and Pikachu saw him open his mouth wide and prepare to bite James's arm again
Pikachu: 'gasp' James look out!
Pikachu jumped up and grabbed on to James's arm right where Meowth was about to bite and he bit Pikachu's paws hard. She yelled in pain and fell down again while Meowth jumped out of James's arms and on to the floor where he turned and growled angrily at everyone
Jenny: I knew it! I knew it was all a trap! That Meowth is too dangerous, from now on no one is allowed to be near him!
Ash: Pikachu! Are you okay?!
Pikachu: ash, stay back!
James: Pikachu!
Pikachu: I'm okay! But James be careful!
Meowth: grrrrrrrrrrrrr…you all tink I'm so innocent, you all feel sorry fer me, now you'll all see!
Jessie: w-wh-what's happening to him?!
Meowth laughed evilly and took off down the corridor and out the double doors as officer Jenny chased after him
Jenny: it's alright everyone, he's gone, you're all safe!
James: thanks for saving me Pikachu!
Pikachu: *getting her paws bandaged and looked at by nurse joy* really, it's okay James, but we don't have time for that now, we have to go find Meowth!
Jenny: oh no you don't! he's far too dangerous, I won't allow it! You'll just have to wait until the end of the week when the rays will have stopped and then go find him!
Pikachu: who's to say he'll make it 'til the end of the week?! If it wasn't for us finding him after those last two battles he'd be dead by now!
Joy: everyone! I've added the bite from Pikachu's arm to that Meowth's tests and I've discovered something! It seems that the moon rays tap directly into the Meowth or Persian's subconscious fears, making them less angry around things they'd normally hate and 'gasp'
Ash: what?! What is it?!
Joy: it says that around those who it would normally be very close to or consider friends the Pokemon is likely to become completely evil!
Misty: 'gasp' that's why he's been biting James and Pikachu!
Pikachu: that's it! I refuse to just sit here while Meowth's out there confused, scared and maybe in trouble!
Jenny: well, that's what all the other trainers have to do, and they all have a little more faith in their Pokemon!
Pikachu: but Meowth wasn't trained to battle! He wasn't trained at all! He was raised on the streets to be a human, but instead he became the Pokemon for these two and now he's kind of like a walking, talking housecat, but if there's one thing I know about Meowth, it's that he'd never do anything to hurt us and right now he needs us to go help him and I for one am gonna be the one to do just that!
Pikachu bolted out the front doors after Meowth and James and misty followed along
Jenny: humph, those three won't be happy until they get themselves killed at the paws of that cat!
Yikes! This is getting pretty dramatic! XD
