I do not own Pokemon or any of its characters. This is the last Chappie of this story I hope you like it! =)
I don't know how many more weeks I can take this torture. Jessie not speaking to me, Meowth and Arbok missing, and their trail wearing very thin. Jessie becomes more cold and distant every single day, and my heart is breaking apart more every single day. Every person we find, who has had Arbok and Meowth, tells us that they gave them away because Meowth talks to much and Arbok tries to poison sting them. We know they're together, but we cannot find out where.
One day we run into this boy named Milo who claims to have owned a talking Meowth and a disobedient Arbok. "So where are they now?" Jessie shouted impatiently at the young boy.
I stepped in in between Jessie and the boy who was quite frightened. Jessie shot me a dirty look and gave me the cold shoulder. A prang of pain hit my heart sharply but I just swallowed my tears and turned to Milo. "What did you do with our Pokemon Milo?" I said calmly and soothingly.
"They were your Pokemon?" Milo said meekly.
"Yes they were you little twerp!" Jessie shouted.
"Jessie!" I scolded trying to calm her down. Her hand came down sharply across my face leaving a red mark across my cheek. I swallowed my pain and turned to Milo calmly. "Who did you give our Pokemon to Milo? Please tell us," I said calmly, though my voice cracked under the stress.
"I had them just a few hours ago!" Milo said.
"What!" Jessie said excitedly, "so they can't be far!"
"Who did you give them to?" I said.
"This trainer named Gary," Milo said.
"Gary?" I said, "does he wear a blue outfit and has long brown spiky hair?"
"Yeah! That's him!" Milo said.
"Why does he need our Pokemon, all of his Pokemon are way stronger!" Jessie cried more to herself than to me.
"He said something about impressing the gym leader of the Cerulean City gym," Milo said, "something about stopping Team Rocket and beating this guy Ash once and for all."
"That dude has some serious issues with that little twerp," I muttered.
"That stupid little twerp is always ruining our lives! This time he's not getting away with it!" Jessie shouted, "where did that brown-haired, cocky little twerp go!"
Milo trembled in fear and pointed to the path the farthest right, "he went that way."
Jessie ran into that path blindly without even stopping to glance at me. "Milo," I said calmly, "that's not the way to Cerulean City. Where did you send her?"
"Zubat forest," Milo said sheepishly, "she was mean!"
"God," I muttered chasing after Jessie. Screaming erupted the small path and up ahead I saw Jessie in the fetal position with Zubats circling her. I pulled out my pokeball and summoned Wheezing who said his name in his normal crocking voice. "Wheezing smoke screen!" I commanded. Wheezing obeyed and I ran into the circle of Zubats grabbing Jessie and carrying her out as the smoke blinded all the Zubats. "Wheezing follow me!" I commanded running through the path holding Jessie firmly to my chest. We got out of the path and I set Jessie down on the floor. She looked at me in utter surprise as I recalled Wheezing back to his pokeball.
"Sorry Mr. James," Milo said softly, "that Gary guy really went that way," he added pointing the path right next to the Zubat forest.
"No more lies?" I asked.
"Cross my heart and hope to die," Milo said.
"You better run, cause if I get you, you will die!" Jessie screamed lunging at Milo. Milo squeaked and jumped out of the way then breaking into a run into a different path.
"Forget him Jessie," I said, "let's go find Gary before he reaches Misty."
Jessie froze and for the first time in weeks acknowledged me. I walked down the path and she followed me. I felt her hesitance, she wanted to say something but she was scared. Jessie may act like a tough girl, but she's actually very sensitive.
We ran down the path in silence with an uneasiness in the air of Jessie's hesitance. Finally Jessie opened her mouth to speak when Gary's spiky head came into view. "Ja…"
"There he is!" I interrupted. I saw Jessie bite her lip nervously then run toward Gary.
"Gary! You stupid little twerp!" Jessie screamed, "give me my Pokemon back right now!"
Gary turned around slowly and regarded Jessie for a moment then pulled on a rope. Meowth came into view, he was injured and muzzled up.
"You bastard! What did you do to Meowth!" I screamed, anger seeping through my veins.
Meowth whimpered and tried to scratch off the leash but his nails were cut off. Gary smirked and pulled out Arbok's pokeball. "You want your Pokemon back?" he said teasingly.
"You bet your ass I do!" Jessie shouted, "give them back now!"
"If you beat me in a one to one Pokemon battle, I will return them both to you," Gary said confidently.
"You're on!" Jessie screamed pulling out her pokeball, "God Wobofet, please don't fail me" she whispered quietly.
I put my hand on her shoulder and pulled her back. I stepped in front of her and threw my pokeball containing Wheezing. "Let's go Gary," I challenged.
Gary smirked and threw his pokeball, "Nidoran go!"
"Nidoran!" The Pokemon screeched preparing for battle.
"Nidoran, tackle attack!" Gary called.
"Wheezing, move out of the way!" I called.
Nidoran was faster than I expected and his horn crashed right into the side of one of Wheezing's faces. "Good, now body slam him Nidoran!" Gary called.
"Wheezing, smoke screen!" I called. Nidoran jumped into the air as the smoke filled the air. Silence filled the forest as we waited for the smoke to clear. The smoke cleared and Nidoran was standing tall coughing while Wheezing was severely injured and could barely move. "Wheezing!" I cried.
"Oh no!" Jessie cried.
"Looks like I won! I guess I get to keep your little Pokemon," Gary gloated.
"No!" I cried letting my tears flow down my face, "I'm not letting you take one of my best friends and the beloved Pokemon of the woman that I love!"
"James…" Jessie whimpered.
Gary chuckled and said, "love doesn't exist."
"Wheezing!" I cried, "I'm sorry buddy, grab Nidoran and self-destruct!"
"What! James! NO!" Jessie cried.
Wheezing gave me a sad look and I turned away too sad and hurt face him. Wheezing let out a single tear as he lunged at Nidoran. "Nidoran move!" Gary cried. But it was too late, Wheezing latched himself onto Nidoran, turned pure white and exploded.
"NO!" Gary cried, "Nidoran!" The smoke cleared and nothing was there but the battered body of Nidoran. Gary ran to his side and picked him up into his arms. "You killed him! You killed my Nidoran!"
"So I win, give me my Pokemon!" I seethed angrily, "You said love doesn't exist right, well you can get another Nidoran."
Gary froze in his spot and tears filled his brown eyes. "Here," he said breaking into tears while releasing Meowth's leash and Arbok's pokeball. Jessie ran to them and untied Meowth.
"I thought I would neva see youse guys again!" Meowth cried latching onto Jessie's leg. Jessie pet his head affectionately and released Arbok from his pokeball.
"Charbok!" Arbok said defiantly. He saw Jessie and his eyes filled with tears, "Char charbok!" he cried jumping at Jessie and wrapping her in a tight hug.
I fell to my knees and tears filled my eyes. "Wheezing," I whimpered.
Meowth was at my side putting a loving paw on my shoulder, "I'm sorries Jimmy."
"Wobofet!" Wobofet cried emerging from his pokeball. He came up from behind me and hugged my back.
A screech filled the air and Victorybell was at my side. Instead of eating my head as usual, Victorybell used his vines to hug me around my waist. Then Arbok slithered to me wrapped himself around my shoulders affectionately.
"James," Jessie said crouching down in front me, "why did you sacrifice Wheezing like that! He was your only friend!"
"Because I needed to save Meowth and Arbok," I cried.
"Youse a good friend Jimmy," Meowth said.
"Charbok!" Arbok agreed.
"You are the best friend a girl could ever have," Jessie said, "and I'm sorry for being so cold to you and mean. I don't deserve your forgiveness or your friendship."
"I don't want to be your friend anymore Jessie," I said watching as tears rolled down her cheeks. I wiped her eyes gently and said, "I wanna be more than just friends."
A small smile crept onto her beautiful face and she pressed her lips against mine softly, "I love you, James."
"And I love you Jessie."
