"We got Pikachu! We got Pikachu!" The TRio sang, skipping along. They found their way out of the forest and were going down a long dirt road.
"Sure is a long walk…" James complained.
"You know it really would be convenient if you two had a car," Meowth suggested. He snickered then added, "or do you even have your driver's licenses yet?" Jessie shot him an evil look.
"Yes, we have our driver's licenses… Well, at least I do. Do you, James?" She asked.
"Hm?" He turned. He had been staring off into the sky. She smacked him.
"Pay attention! I said, do you have your driver's license?" She asked.
"Of course," he answered and continued to stare into space. She sighed. After a very long walk they arrived in Celadon City.
"Hey, I remember this place!" Meowth stated. The city was full of tall skyscrapers and buildings.
"City's a dangerous place… Better watch out for-JAMES!" Jessie noticed him at a hot dog stand on the other side of the street. He turned at the mention of his name and waved at them.
"I'm gonna kill him…" She muttered, taking Meowth's paw and dragging him into the street full of traffic.
"Hey, watch out! That was a semi! Geez, it's like Frogger!" He said. They crossed the street after almost getting hit by a double Decker bus.
"James, just what are you doing?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Ordering a hot dog! I'm starving. Want one?" He asked.
"No! Well-…" She figured it would be best to eat, now that she had two mouths to feed. "Alright," she said. He beamed and turned to the man behind the counter again.
"Make that two, please," he said. The man was rather large and had a thick mustache.
"Zou want two? Mkay…" He said in a deep voice and reached down. He came up with two hot dogs in a tray.
"Zat vill be fehr dollas…" He said.
"Er-What?" James asked, not hearing a word he had just said.
"Zat vill be fehr dollas!" He said again.
"Sorry buddy, I have NO idea what you just said," James said.
"He said, that will be four dollars," Jessie whispered.
"Oh! I'm sorry, here!" He handed him a five dollar bill and got back one.
"One for you, and one fer yer girlfriend," the man said and handed them their hot dogs. They turned and walked away.
"Is it really that obvious?" Jessie asked. James just grinned. After some tedious walking, they finally arrived at the Team Rocket HQ. They walked through the doors and took the elevator up to the top floor. Pikachu was nervous and worried, and all the while tormented, not being able to shock Jessie. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Giovanni sat at the far end of the room, in an office chair behind a desk. The Persian purred.
"What do you guys want?" Giovanni growled. They walked up to him.
"Boss, we've finally made up for our failures!" James said.
"Hmph, I doubt it…" Giovanni huffed.
"Just check this out," Jessie grinned and pulled Pikachu out from behind her back. It squeaked.
"WHAT? You got that special Pikachu? How?" He gasped, surprised. They both beamed with satisfaction.
"With luck," she said.
"See, we told you we wouldn't let you down," James puffed out his chest proudly.
"But why isn't it shocking you?" Giovanni asked, confused.
"Er… We were so forceful on it, it's paralyzed! Just one look from us and it froze with fear," Jessie lied.
"Really? Well give it to me, then!" He said and for once he seemed happy. Jessie handed it to him.
"Ahh, finally! I'm proud of you guys! You are officially promoted to Rocket Exe-" he began. Pikachu squeaked loudly and angrily, and set forth a huge thunder shock that it had been holding inside of it all this time.
"GAHH!" He screamed, getting electrocuted.
"Uh-oh…" Both Jessie and James gulped and backed up. Finally the shocks died, and an exhausted Pikachu collapsed to the floor, along with Giovanni.
"GET RID OF THIS THING! I NEVER WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN IN MY LIFE!" He yelled.
"But-Boss, you've been wanting it for ages, and now you just-don't?" James asked, disappointed.
"I DON'T WANT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO ELECTRICUTE ME EVERY GODAM SECOND!" He shouted. Suddenly the elevator dinged, and all of them turned to look. Ash, Misty and Brock stepped in.
"Pikachu!" Ash called and Pikachu pounced over to him.
"Don't just stand there! Stop them! They have other Pokemon!" Giovanni ordered. The TRio jumped in front of them.
"Not so fast, twerps. Hand over the Pokemon," Jessie said, holding out her hand.
"Never! And you know I can't attack you, so get out of the way!" Ash yelled.
"Can't attack you? What does he mean?" Giovanni asked.
"Err- Nothing!" She said quickly.
"It's not fair! You guys did that on purpose, didn't you?" Ash whined.
"Oh believe us, it wasn't on purpose," James said quietly.
"WHAT THE HELL are you people talking about?" Giovanni demanded, but everyone ignored him.
"Jessie, you better move or I WILL shock you!" Ash threatened.
"What? How dare you! Idiot, I'M PREGNANT!" She said, completely forgetting about her Boss in the room.
"WHHHAAAAATT?" He shouted, bewildered.
"Oh… Oops…" She covered her mouth with her hand.
"You're pregnant? And you failed to notify me?" He asked.
"I'm sorry… It was an accident, we-err, I mean I didn't mean to…" She apologized. Giovanni sighed.
"This is what happens when I partner agents up of the opposite gender and put them each in their own condo…" He said.
"Boss, it's not her fault. Please don't take it out on her," James said.
"Are you kidding? I'm thrilled! A new Rocket member is on the way! Why wouldn't I be happy about that?" He said, actually smiling.
"R-really?" Jessie asked.
"Yes!" He answered. They both sighed with relief and turned around to face the twerps again.
"Er-They're gone…" James said. They had escaped during that time when they had their guard down.
"Oh well… You two go on home, I'll be sure not to give you too risky missions," he said. They left and headed back to their house.
"Wow, I've never seen the Boss so calm," Jessie muttered.
"It's all thanks to our little one," James smiled, wrapped his arm around her and put his other hand on her stomach.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was probably the ONLY time you'll see Giovanni happy. Stay tuned for Chapter 6, where we skip time a bit! :D
