Season Of Magic: This chapter is mostly focused on James. He's no longer a bad person and has now officially joined the twerps- oh right, I mean the pokegang.

We're now on the fifth day of the cruise and James has now been found by his family. Since I have absolutely no clue about what life was for James before he joined Team Rocket, I made everything up as I went along.

Jessica (Jame's little sister) is a fictional character also made up by me. I already have a plot set out for her and trust me, she will be appearing frequently in the story now. She will also be appearing in the sequel so yeah, get used to her.

I apologize in advanced to you guys in the delays in chapter updates. It's not because I want to, it's just that I need a break for a bit to focus in school. If you want to communicate with me or want to know where to find me during this break, everything you want to know is located in my profile. I have left my twitter, youtube and other accounts. I'll post up my email address too so if you're interested go check it out :3

Narrator: You keep blabbing on about a sequel but I'm not even sure when you're going to be finished with the story. How many chapters are even left?

Season Of Magic: Good question. I'm guessing about three/four more for the cruise (this is just part 1 of the fifth day after all.) one or two for Dawn's party...so I guess roughly about four, five or six depending how it all turns out.

Narrator: and the sequel?

Season Of Magic: Don't rush me! I deal with things slowly. The sequel might or might not happen, we'll see what occurs when this story ends.

Narrator: Admit it! You keep talking about a sequel but a sequel isn't even in the works is it?

Season Of Magic: Oh look a dinosaur! *runs*

Narrator: Guys if you all really, really want a sequel go pester Rai about it. I don't think she has any iniciative on making a sequel for this story but come on wouldn't a sequel be a good idea? This is her most reviewed story after all. Rai get back here we're not done yet!

Disclaimer: Rai does not own Pokemon. If she did, Black & White would have never happened.

New chapter starts now, go!

You're The Reason

How'd it come to this, James had no clue but it was only natural that they would find out he was here. This was their cruise after all and come on how many guys actually had the name James and had his same color hair? It was inevitable and he was stupid for thinking otherwise.

At sixteen years of age he had run away from his heritage, his family and his wealth. It was a bit ironic to be here, in the same cruise that as a young kid he had been a part of to help envision and create.

After five days of wandering around the cruise with the twerps, him knowing they were there to celebrate the opening and him running away from them, she had finally found him.

The person that had found him was none other than his younger sister, Jessica.

Jessica still looked the same just older. The eight year old he had last seen sleeping in her room was now an eighteen year old young adult.

They had bumped into each other earlier in the morning when they were headed to breakfast. He instantly recognized her. Not everyone had bright emerald green eyes and vibrant golden brown hair.

"Jessica?" he had whispered, as he saw her walking and typing away on her phone, hoping she wouldn't hear him but she did.

She looked up from her blackberry and gasped when she saw whom had called her name. "Big brother?" she exclaimed and he wanted to shake his head but when he saw he had been busted, he just nodded and sighed.

James rose up an arm and waved. "Long time no see." he calmly said.

Jessica placed her phone in her purse and ran towards him. "James!" she ran to him and tears came out her eyes as she hugged her brother, the one she had not seen nor heard of in over ten years. "It really is you!"

She was not one to take no for an answer and had gotten her way in guilt tripping him to join them for dinner.

There was a meeting/banquet thing going on today and she was glad that she would now not be the only one to be bored to death in the ceremony.

So here he now was in his cabin, getting ready for the dreadful dinner that would accompany interrogations and the like. But no, he was no fool and there was no way he'd let himself get pushed over again.

It's already been ten years. He had a new life, and whether or not they'd accept it, the truth was he already had.

He glanced away from the mirror and stared at Ash, whom was staring his way oddly.

It was strange really; the same boy whom he had chased after when he was in Team Rocket was the same person whom he was now in friendly terms with and even shared a bunk together. Life really was funny at times.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ash asked raising an eyebrow at James whom was currently fidgeting with a tie.

Seeing James wearing a white shirt, a tie, polished shoes and light brown pants that looked like they were part of a suit pair really surprised Ash.

"Yeah, I'm fine." James replied back as he stood by in the mirror looking at himself through all the angles.

"You don't seem fine and to be completely honest you look like you're quite uncomfortable with wearing that."

James sighed. "I have no choice but to wear this. You don't know how strict my family is when it comes to things like this."

"I thought the reason you ran away was because you hated the way you were treated." and Ash laughed. "Seriously James if you don't like wearing those things just wear something you actually like. What's the point of you running away if you're just going to come back and let them get to you again?"

James contemplated this for a moment and he nodded. The twerp actually had a point. If he let them do what they want with him from the start, he had not learned anything on his journey.

He took off the tie, grabbed the suit off the table and ran to his room. Twenty minutes later he was back and this time was wearing a white polo shirt, brown shorts and sneakers.

"See? Now you look like the Team Rocket James I know!" Ash said as he nodded at James whom went back to the mirror in the wall.

James laughed. "I'm no longer part of Team Rocket. I thought you knew that."

Ash shrugged. "I've been calling you that for so many years it's hard to get rid of the habit."

Now it was James whom raised an eyebrow at Ash. "Well get rid of the habit. I don't want to be associated with that kind of people anymore."

"Whatever," Ash said as he stood up from the couch and grabbed his card key. "I have to go get something. I'll see you at dinner."

"Doubt it." James yelled back but the door had already closed and he was left alone.

His mind began to wonder back to his early teenage years but the thoughts left as soon as they came because the phone began to ring.

He sighed and went to pick it up. "Hello?" he said into the receiver and when he heard who it was he instantly gulped. Man this girl worked quick into finding out information.

I hope you're ready because I will be picking you up shortly.

He sighed. "Do I really have to go?"

You won't get out of this so easily, you know that right?

"Well apparently."

Good. I'll be there in about ten minutes. See you then big brother. And just as quickly as she had called, she was gone.

James sighed and sat down in the couch.

Has she always been this commanding? He wondered to himself.

His mind drifted back to when he was twelve and Jessica was four years old.

When their mother and father weren't away on a business trip they took turns on reading a book to Jessica at night. That night however, they had both been called away and her nanny was in charge of putting her to bed but Jessica wouldn't listen. She wanted her story and she would get it no matter what.

She had grabbed the book off her table and ran to where James was. Her big brother would read to her wouldn't he?

James was in his room and had looked up from what he was working on when he felt his door opening to see his sister holding up a book.

"Go away Jessica. I'm busy." he told her. "Isn't it your bedtime already?"

Jessica ignored him and walked up to the table. "You, book, read!" she had said walking up to him, book in hand. At four years of age she knew how to talk but still was not able to form complete sentences

She placed the book in his table and began pouting. With arms crossed she stared at him.

"I can't read to you Jessica I'm doing homework." James replied back. She was nearly in tears now, with a puppy eyed look and everything. James sighed and grabbed the book off the table. "Ugh fine! If you'll leave me alone and go to sleep I'll read the book to you!"

James took hold of her with one hand and with the other held the book. He walked to her room and sighed/shuddered as he walked inside and turned on the lights. The walls were a soft light pink, there was a dresser, her twin sized bed, a rocking chair, a princess table with four chairs and two doors. One door lead to the bathroom while the other lead to her closet.

He motioned for her to go to bed and he grabbed one of the chairs from the table.

He turned the book to the cover and showed it to Jessica.

"Cinderella." He said as he pointed to the words and the picture.

"Ela?" she said from her bed as she glanced up to her brother. He almost wanted to laugh, but remembered that she was only four years old.

"Yes, Jessica, her name is Ella. Do you know what she is?"

"Princess!" and she paused then smiled pointing at herself. "Me? Princess?"

"Yup, a princess," James nodded and then he too couldn't help but smile. With the way she was spoilt, she too could be a princess. "just like you."

A knock woke him up from his daydream. As he opened up the door to his cabin and he saw Jessica, he couldn't help but smile. He closed the door and walked outside.

Jessica however, looked like someone had thrown a bucket full of icy cold water at her. "You're not going dressed like that are you?" she uttered out when she saw James and what he was wearing.

"Is there a problem with the way I'm dressed?" James wondered aloud.

"Yes there is!" Jessica responded back. "You're a person from high society you cannot be seen wearing such…..common clothing."

"This is the style of clothing I've been wearing for the last ten years." and James smirked. "Are you telling me that you'd be embarrassed about being seen with me like this Jessica?"

"Yes that's precisely what I'm saying! You are going back inside right this minute and you will come out wearing more suitable clothes for the occasion."

James shook his head and crossed his arms. "If you cannot accept me like I am there's no need for me to even be in the meeting. I thought that perhaps you had changed but I see that you haven't. You're still the same stuck up brat you were before and I'd prefer not to be around those types of people."

Jessica looked appalled. "You cannot be serious James."

"I've changed sister. I'm not the same James you knew before and if you cannot accept that…." And he opened the door then walked in. "Just pretend you never saw me today." He glanced back and gave a small smile to Jessica. "I am glad to see you're doing fine though." And he closed the door on her.

Season Of Magic: *smirks* I heard that whatever you call someone it means you're such said thing. So guess what? Eres el idiota no yo.

Narrator: Yes you know Spanish big deal...I'm outta here.
