Last Time on Starting Things Differently:
Brock suggests an idea of letting Jigglypuff perform for the people in Neon Town, which Team Rocket is happy to hear. When they get into town, the gang looks for a place for Jigglypuff to sing. Every place they went to people laughed either in their faces, doors slamming, or was just ignored. A stage truck then pulls over; Jessie and James who are disguised as rock stars offers them their stage.
With the stage is set, Jigglypuff starts singing. The voice is so strong that everyone in the town starts falling asleep. Team Rocket whose ears were not closed properly soon fall asleep as well. Ash and the gang sleep beside the stage. Tomo is sleeping curled up beside his big brother. Ash was sleeping with his egg tightly clenched in his arms. Misty and Brock sleep bundled beside them. Soon after Jigglypuff ends it's song. It noticed everyone was alseep. Jigglypuff gets really upset with all of them and goes to scribble markings on everyone's faces within the town.
When the townspeople wake up. The group noticed that they seem friendlier to one another. The guy who bumped into Ash earlier even apologizes to him. Ash gave the guy a sheepish grin, "I'm sorry to man. I hope the fight didn't mess you up to badly." Ash said scratching his head for his bad temper. The guy waves him off saying it was fine. He even told Ash that was some great fighting back there. Ash laughed at that.
Misty looks for Jigglypuff and realizes it was gone. Team Rocket awakens and leaves the city looking very happy. They are seen to be in a good mood.
As Ash and the gang leave the city relaxed and happy. They are unaware of Jigglypuff following them close behind.
Present:
Ash and the gang are walking in an area called Grampa Canyon. They were chatting amongst themselves when they see a large group of people walking with picks and shovels. Ash blinks at this sight in question, "What's going on down there?" Tomo shrugs at this also wondering what was the issue. Tomo turns to Ash, "I wonder what everyone is doing with those picks and shovels?" Tomo questioned to his big brother. Ash goes to say something when he is interrupted, "Don't you know anything?!" Said a voice that Ash hated. Ash twitched an eye and turned around to see his rival Gary.
Gary smirks at Ash and is in a nice guy pose. He was dressed up in a Indiana Jones get up. Ash twitched an eye at the sight of him. Gary walks over to him arrogantly, "Hey Ashy boy! Not only late as usual, but clueless too." Gary commented. Ash growls at this tightening his grip on his egg. Gary see's this and smirks, "Another baby? Wow Ashy you sure are quick." Gary stated. Ash twitched. Tomo glared, "Who you!?" Gary turns to stare at the wild boy and blinks, "Who are you?" Gary questioned. Tomo growls, "Tomo. Ash is my big brother!" Gary laughs, "This wimp? You shouldn't go around saying that. Ashy is a loser." Tomo glared at Gary after hearing that. "Tomo thinks Gary is the loser..." Tomo stated not impressed and to the surprise of everyone kicks him in the shin. Gary's jaw drops, "What the?! Why you little!" Gary was about to get in when he is stopped by Ash getting in his way, "You messing with my little brother Gare-bear? I don't like the looks of this." Ash stated looking Gary in the eye.
Gary notices his rivals protective actions and snorts at this. He then starts to explain that he and the group are here for the Fossil Rush. He stated it was because of a great 'Pokemon Discovery'. Ash nods understanding this answer. "Hmmm... Sounds fun. I kinda want to try it out and see what we can find." Ash said pondering. Tomo nods thinking that it would be cool. Ash grins and ruffles his little brother's hair. Gary watches this and see's his rival is changing more and more they meet. He then starts to walk away wanting to do the expectation.
Jigglypuff who was watching them also appears. It jumps up on a boulder ready to sing, but noticed the group leave without noticing it. It sweat-drops at this and gets frustrated.
Ash and crew soon find a large area of the canyon where many people, including Ash's rival Gary are currently digging. Gary found something and starts to gloat to his fans that he found a fossil already. His fan girls squeal. Ash sweat-drops at this, "Oh gag me..." Ash commented. Tomo looks at his brother in question. Ash nervously grins, "Nothing. I'm just annoyed." Tomo nods agreeing with Ash showing he too was annoyed with his Gary guy. They watched as Gary's ego grew until an old man came to look at his supposed fossil. Ash and Tomo both then laughed their asses off when they found it was fossilized pokemon manure. Ash and Tomo then high-fived each other at this action. Misty and Brock sweat-dropped at this. The group got ready to head down to dig.
However before they could go down to look for fossils they stumble across Team Rocket. Team Rocket spots them and gets angry realizing their plans might get damaged. They accidentally reveal their plan to blow up the canyon and steal all the fossils. The group is horrified by this. Ash glares, "Oh no you don't!"
They watched as Meowth lights the fuse. Ash widens his eyes at this and runs up to Team Rocket. They reveal that the fuse is lit already. He gets Misty and Brock to get help. Ash then sends out Marine to make an attempt to put the flame out. Ash, Tomo and Ash's Dratini soon chase after the fuse trying to put it out. Jessie, James, and Meowth chase after them to stop them. They call out Arbok and Weezing try to stop him. Team Rocket then trips and start rolling down the pathway. It results on a ball of people and pokemon rolling into Ash. They all land right beside the dynamite.
As the fuse draws near to the dynamite they all panic. They all watched the dynamite begin to detonate. Ash widens his eyes and grabs Tomo into his arms. He placed his Eevee egg safely inside his backpack earlier. Everyone falls into a crack forming in the ground. Ash tightens his grip on Tomo in his arms. They all scream falling to the hole.
Ash, Tomo, Jessie, James, Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing are now trapped in an underground cave. Only Ash's Dratini escapes from the rubble. Upon hearing the massive explosion, Misty and Brock run to the pile of rubble and start digging out rock and soil with Dratini. "Ash!" Brock shouted in panic. "Tomo!" Misty said worried for the little boy.
In the cave, Ash, Tomo, Team Rocket, and their pokemon begin arguing over whose fault it is that they're down there. Tomo is scared at this and feels Ash's attempt to calm him down. He hugs his big brother in worry. "Now don't you worry. I know that our friends are looking for a way to save us. Ok." Ash said to Tomo firmly as he ruffled his hair. Tomo nods and believes Ash. Everyone then freezes when they hear growls. The group is soon confronted by fossil pokemon that they do not recognize. Ash checks his Pokédex at the sight of them.
Pokedex Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops: It is believed these Pokémon became extinct tens of thousands of years ago. The details of their behavior are shrouded in mystery. Though some have speculated that they may still exist, none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.
Jessie and James begin to speculate that the explosion must have awakened them from thousands of years of sleep. Regardless to this Team Rocket begins to contemplate stealing the pokemon for their boss. They attempt to catch them by throwing poke balls at the fossil pokemon. A Kabutops growls at this as it blocks the balls and they are rebounded at Meowth. All of the fossil pokemon start approaching the group to attack. Ash gets nervous at this and sees Tomo gripping his vest in panic.
Ash looks back at the pokemon and knew right then and there he was gonna catch him some prehistoric pokemon. He pulls out his Magmar, "Volcan! I choose you!" Volcan comes out and awaits Ash's orders. Ash points to the prehistoric pokemon. Volcan's eyes widened at the sight of them, "Volcan! Let's catch us some extinct pokemon! Use your Fire Blast!" Ash shouted hugging Tomo to him. His Magmar nods and begins the to attack. It hits the pokemon with powerful fire attacks. Ash grins and throws his pokeballs at a Kabutops and Omastar. He notices Tomo looking at them uncertainly and gives him 2 storage balls. "Here catch some Tomo. This is a once in a lifetime chance." Ash stated gripping his pokeballs. Tomo looks at Ash in shock then grins. He throws the pokeballs on a Kabuto and Omanyte.
Ash and Tomo sigh in relief when the rest of the prehistoric are gone on their side. They look over to Team Rocket to see how they were doing. They sweat-dropped watching a chase scene with the left over fossil pokemon chasing Team Rocket.
Then all of a sudden the pokemon freeze. They soon run away deeper into the cave. Ash frowns at this, "This isn't good." He stated gripping Tomo tighter to him. Everyone is now confused and nervous. They soon realize why the pokemon ran off.
An Aerodactyl swoops in, knocking over Magmar who was protecting Ash and Tomo. Now angry at this action Volcan tries to attack the Aerodactyl, but is smacked into a boulder. Volcan grunts in pain as it gets back up again slowly. The Aerodectyl lands on a huge boulder and stares at them. It roars at them angrily. The group gulp at the sight of it. Ash while hugging Tomo pulls out his pokedex.
Pokedex Aerodectyl: An extinct Flying Pokémon. Its hard fangs suggest that it was a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey.
Ash is horrified at this statement and grabs Tomo's hand. The Aerodactyl starts to chase them with Ash holding tightly to Tomo's hand. "Come on run!" Ash shouted in panic. They stop before the blocked exit they came in. Everyone froze hearing Brock and Misty's voices. They told them they were just about to get him and Tomo out. Ash shouts for them to hurry.
Ash yelps in terror when Aerodactyl grabs onto him with its claws. The blocked exit is cleared at this time. The Aerodactyl begins to fly towards the surface. Before the flying Pokémon can get too far, Tomo and Volcan jump on board.
Back above ground, Brock's Golem had finally dug a hole through the rubble. The Aerodactyl flies out of the hole in the ground, dropping Tomo and Volcan on its way out. Misty and Brock question where Ash is. Tomo frightfully points to Aerodactyl who perches on a cliff with Ash still in hand. Ash was twisting around trying to free himself from the grip of the flying pokemon. He screams as it closes in to eat him.
Volcan wants to battle the Aerodactyl as Aerodactyl had earlier attacked him, but the Aerodactyl just taunts it. Volcan knew he couldn't get the flying pokmeon. Tomo fearfully looks at the flying pokemon and is scared for his brother's safety. He spots his brother's traveling bag. He sees in it his brother's egg and some poke balls. He quickly looks inside trying to find help. He spots Ash's Charmeleon's poke ball. He bites his lip in panic wondering if it's a good choice, but freezes hearing Ash's scream. He quickly grabs Torch's poke ball and releases him.
Torch comes out with a roar and looks to see Tomo staring at him in fear. "Please Torch! Listen to me! Help Ash now! He's in trouble!" Tomo points to the Aerodactyl on a perch with Ash in it's talons. Torch's eyes widened in horror, "Meeellllon!" Torch shouted at it. Aerodactyl calmly looks at it and huffs to go back to trying to eat Ash. Torch's eyes narrowed wanting to make his trainer respect him again. He didn't want his friend and master to die. He already regretted hurting him earlier when he knew his trainers history. Hearing Ash's scream did it. He roared in anger that seemed to make him glow. Everyone freezes at the sight of Torch evolving. Ash's friends watch in horror hoping Torch doesn't get worst. Ash who was trying to make himself small saw this and prayed his new Charizard could help him.
Volcan glances at his older brother, Torch. "Magggmar..." Volcan stated pointing to Ash. Torch nodded, "Gmph." Torch opens his new wings to fly up to Aerodactyl and give it a beating. Aerodactyl flies off with Ash in it's talons. Ash yelps and tries to free himself, which shows to be difficult as the flying pokemon's talons clench. Ash screams out in pain as it becomes hard to breath. His Charizard sees this and roars in anger. Ash's vision gets fuzzy and looks to Torch, "Torch..." He says with a wince. Charizard hears his trainers pain and tries to fly faster.
Meanwhile on the ground as everyone watched in terror. Tomo was biting his lip hoping his big brother was gonna be fine. Volcan was standing beside Tomo incase anymore pokemon come near his trainers little brother. Misty is desperate to help Ash. She quickly spots Jigglypuff and tells it to sing to make the Aerodactyl fall asleep. Jigglypuff agrees and quite happily sings.
This action of course starts sending everyone in the canyon to sleep. Aerodactyl who is starting to fall asleep drops into the canyon missing the exit hole. In it's flying it dropped Ash before falling. However, Torch manages to stay awake by covering its ears and catches his knocked out trainer. He quickly spots the downed Aerodactyl just as the song takes its toll. Torch grunts and grabs a poke ball on Ash's belt. Torch caught the Aerodactyl hoping that he redeemed itself in Ash's eyes after catching the prehistoric pokemon. Torch then hits the ground asleep after doing all his hard work. Torch was curled up beside Ash at this action with a small smile. Ash also currently had his hands on a egg, he had rolled right next too.
Jigglypuff after seeing that everyone had fallen asleep gets angry. It starts to draw markings all over everyone's faces with its marker out of anger.
After awakening, Officer Jenny announces that the whole thing was a dream caused by Jigglypuff's song. Everyone except for Ash's group knows that it wasn't. Ash was smiling at Torch's poke ball softly after realizing when he awoke that his new Charizard saved him. He also found to his amazement it caught him that Aerodactyl. He knew right then and there that his once affectionate Torch was back. He smiles at the poke ball knowing when it's time for training they'll be good buddies once more.
As Ash and the gang leave with smiles on their faces at this adventure. Tomo is quickly latching onto Ash's shirt hoping that he never leaves his sight. Ash reveals to them all that he had found a pokemon egg at the site. The group is shocked at this and says that he already has an egg. Ash smiles and says that why he was gonna give it to anyone who wanted an infant pokemon. The group is shocked at this. Misty opens and closes her hands with uncertainty. Ash sees this and hands her the egg. "For you Misty. I know you wanted an infant pokemon. So here for you. This can count as my gift for you since you saved my life." Ash said with a smile. Misty touched by this goes and hugs Ash. The group smiles at this action.
Meanwhile with Team Rocket and their pokemon are still trapped in the cave. They are with the sleeping Fossil Pokémon only feet away.
The group was currently at a local city. Tomo was in a tree at the moment and he was currently eating a different fruit. Tomo quickly freezes at this as he turns red. He jumps off the tree and runs to the group in panic. Ash widens his eyes and checks Tomo's temperature. He's burning up. Brock quickly suggests that they take Tomo to quickly see a doctor.
They run down the path to look for a any medical centers. They eventually reach a hospital and ask for help from a doctor. The doctor doesn't pay much attention to Ash's pleas for help, but when Misty starts pleading the doctor gives in. He starts saying that he can't resist a pretty face. Thinking Misty is the one in need of help, the doctor asks her what the problem was. After explaining that Tomo was the sick one, Ash glares, "My brother is sick here old man! I think he has a allergy or something! Save him your the doctor!" Ash shouted in anger.
The doctor quickly jumps into action after realizing that boy must be in danger. He agrees to help Ash with Tomo's allergy issue. He takes Tomo back on a stretcher with Ash watching in worry. He paced around hoping his little brother in all but blood was ok. Misty and Brock try to calm him down telling him Tomo will be fine.
Ash saw the Doctor come back with a tired, but healthy Tomo. The doctor stated he had to pump Tomo's stomach to get rid of the issue. Ash hugs his brother and thanks the Doctor for saving him. The Doctor smiles and tells Ash it's alright after realizing that in his selfish moment from earlier, he almost caused a patient to get into a more serious problem. He was happy to find that it was a mild case of an allergy attack, but still deadly left untreated. He warned Tomo not to eat those strange berries, he ate earlier. He told Ash to take special precautions at this, which Ash agreed too. The doctor introduces himself as Dr. Proctor.
Soon the phone then starts ringing. The group look to the doctor to see if he'll answer. The doctor refuses to answer, saying he's "off duty" at the moment. Brock answers the call and he learns that it's Nurse Joy. She informs the group that there has been a violent accident involving a truck of pokemon stolen by Team Rocket. She quickly tells them that the pokemon are in dire need of medical attention. With the Pokemon Center at full capacity, the extra room of the hospital is needed. The doctor comes in at this time as he was listening in. Instead of giving Nurse Joy a serious answer, he asks her out much to the groups suck and disgust. This makes Nurse Joy angry and frustrated.
Ash looked at the man, "Wow. Just wow..." Ash stated rubbing the crease of his forehead in wonder. The group copies Ash's action realizing the doctor is a lazy flirt.
Meanwhile with Team Rocket who are at the scene of the accident. Jessie and James are having a heated argument. Meowth is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing.
Back at the hospital the doctor starts to give everyone their uniforms and equipment. They look at him in shock. "We're only kids sir!" Ash shouted to the doctor in alarm. The doctor says that he needs their help because he is short on staff. Ash stared at the man and sighed, "Alright. I'll help. I can't do surgery, but I'll help with whatever, I can." Ash stated.
Tomo nods beside him. Ash frowns and tells Tomo to sit back and relax. Ash tells him to lay down and take a nap. Tomo is reluctant to do so, but with Ash's actions he does so. Ash gives him the groups and his back pack to watch over when he was asleep. Everyone quickly changes clothing. Ash was wearing his hair tightly back in a high pony tail. He rolled up his sleeves for easy grabbing incase some pokemon got violent. Misty and Brock did the same. Everyone was now waiting for the injured pokemon to arrive.
When the injured Pokémon arrive on stretchers pushed by a Chansey, everyone starts to get to work. Ash noticed a crying Cubone, "Well we got ourselves a crier." Ash calls out his Espeon to hold down a Cubone with psychic who keeps on struggling in pain. The doctor tells Ash that he likes the idea of not touching the patient with force. So he likes Ash's idea of using psychic to keep Cubone from thrashing. Misty sees it's sadness and comforts it. This seems to successfully calm it down. Dr. Proctor says that Misty is a natural. Ash smiled agreeing that it took skill to handle a Cubone.
Team Rocket comes in bringing more patients with them namely Jessie's Arbok and a Raticate. The doctor proceeds by asking Jessie out for some pizza. Jessie is impressed with the doctor. Ash spots Team Rocket and glares at them. "What the hell are you doing here!" Ash shouted with his hands on his hips. James looks at Ash in shock, "The twerps a MD?" Ash huffed, "I'm 10 years old moron... I'm not old enough to be one..." Ash said in sarcastic tone. James frowned at that remark.
Ash then tells the doctor not to help Team Rocket, but Dr. Proctor explains that it was his job to heal others. He tells him not to judge. Meowth is still stressing over the loss of his charm. A Chansey tries to cheer him up, but does not succeed.
Everyone is busy helping all the injured pokemon that was coming in, even Jessie and James pitch in. They are all working together diligently. Brock and James were helping each other with a Pinsir. Brock was glueing it's horn back on. It grumbled in happiness to be feeling better. James is terrified at it's grumbling, while Brock laughs saying that it's just thanking them.
Jessie and Misty were working on a Weepinbell and Voltorb. They were working carefully so Voltorb didn't self-destruct. Jessie freaked out at this and left. Chansey jumps into her roll and pulls the Voltorb out of the Weepinbell's mouth quickly. Misty calms the tired Weepinbell and it smiles at Misty.
Ash was working on a Tauros and Nidoking at the moment. They were thrashing a lot which wasn't good. So he had to get his psychic pokemon and himself to calm them down. Their psychic powers seemed to calm the rowdy pokemon down.
Ash and Brock were currently staring at the newest pokemon they needed to help. Ash sweat-dropped at this, "This is gonna be hard." The pokemon is a hyper Dodrio who was in need of untangling. Ash growls at it, "Hey! Settle down!" Ash shouted at it in frustration. Brock grimaces, "We can't get near it..." The doctor comes by and explains the bird pokemon. He gets ready to give it a shot. Just as the doctor prepares an anesthetic injection to calm it down.
The Dodrio lunges at Dr. Proctor, causing the doctor to inadvertently stab himself with the injection. The doctor then falls asleep. With no doctor on hand, Ash decides to weaken Dodrio with his own pokmeon. He has Evlon use psychic followed by Small One's Thunderbolt. These attacks knock out the Dodrio who is dazed from this. Ash grins and gets to work.
Later while the treatment is still going on, Jessie and James decide that they are going to steal all of the injured pokemon. They take off the uniforms and start reciting their motto.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: Make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all people within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
They didn't manage to finish it because, Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them saying that he still wanting its charm. Jessie and James try to hold back Ash, Misty and Brock with a "stretcher catcher" contraption.
Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. Ash glares at James with his eyes glowing blue a bit. Jessie commands Arbok and James commands Weezing to attack Chansey, but their pokemon didn't budge one bit.
Dr. Proctor who has just awoken, states that Arbok and Weezing will not attack Chansey because they were cared for by it when they were injured. Hearing this response in anger, Jessie throws a beaker at him. To the surprise of everyone Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Dr. Proctor then shows them his "arsenal" that's in his doctor's coat. His "arsenal" consists of sharp tools, such as shots, scissors, and scalpels. Ash and his friends are freed by the Chansey. Ash smirks and shows his psychic pokemon that are around. All of them and himself seem to glow showing their powers.
Team Rocket runs out of the building being chased by the "stretcher catchers" Ash and his psychic pokemon are controlling. Team Rocket ends up "blasting off again" when the Voltorb that James snuck away with self-destructs. Upon landing on the hard ground the charm on Meowth's head pops out of its head. It makes Meowth very happy while dazed.
With the pokemon all treated Dr. Proctor tell Ash and his friends that they should be doctors and asks them if they want to stay and train. Misty gives a smile and states her interest in becoming a doctor. Then says that she still has a lot to learn about water pokemon. Ash smiles and thanks the doctor for some of the teachings he learned and will put them to good use if his pokemon or friends are injured. The doctor smiles at this and wishes them luck on their journey.
Ash and friends then bid farewell to the good doctor and continue on their journey.
The group was now walking across the countryside in peace. Ash was happy with carrying his Eevee egg knowing that sometime soon it was gonna hatch. He was walking with a bit of a bunch to him after training his team. He greeted Torch like they were old buddies. Torch was so happy that he was redeemed in Ash's eyes he hugged Ash very tightly. Ash had to pat the overly happy Charizard to let him free once more.
The group was walking for a while when they come across a poster of a young boy. They stared at it noticed the word 'Missing' above it. They found to their shock the boy bore a great resemblance to James of Team Rocket. "That looks like James..." Ash commented tilting his head. Tomo nodded, "Definably James..."
Just then as they were talking more about the James look a like. A limousine shows up beside them. Ash grabbed Tomo's arm and pulled him closer. His mother always said if a strange car pulls up beside you it's usually not a good sign.
The doors open and a old man comes out to address them. The old man asks the group if they've seen the boy. Ash blinks at him and stated, "We have if he's James from Team Rocket." Excited by hearing their answer, the man cries in joy then takes the gang with him in the limo. Ash yelps, "What the hell! Put me down!" Ash shouted not liking this at all.
Jessie, James, and Meowth show up shortly afterwards and examine the poster. Jessie and Meowth are convinced that the boy in the poster is James. Said man hears this and shouts that he denies it. James heard his teammates wanting to go to get the reward. Reluctantly James agrees to follow Ash and friends in the limousine.
When the limousine arrives at a sizable mansion. "Wow! That's huge!" Tomo shouted in awe. The old man snorts at this. He is revealed to be James's Butler Hopkins. He informs everyone that the mansion is merely the home of James's Growlithe, Growlie. Tomo blushed at that, "So? It's still huge for a freaking Growlithe..." Ash nodded agreeing that house was to big.
The real mansion is next door, and several times larger. Hopkins tells Ash and the gang all about how James's family is very wealthy. He then talks about that James ran away from his home at a young age. Hopkins tells them that both of James's parents passed away earlier that morning. Hopkins says that unless James marries his fiance in twenty-four hours, everything his parents had left for him will go to charity. Team Rocket has also arrived, and is hiding out of sight on the roof. They are hearing everything Hopkins is saying in shock. They want that money. James isn't very keen on this idea at all.
As the gang wonder how to find James to tell him the news. Team Rocket falls off the roof in front of them. Jessie and Meowth are thinking of James's inheritance. James just wants to leave. His teammates start beating on him because he refuses to get married.
Ash glares at them, "Hey! Don't beat James up just because he doesn't want to get married. It might be a ugly old hag..." Ash stated. Brock agrees that it's James's decision on whether he wants to get married or not. James is distraught about this. He then tells everyone a story from before he dropped out of Pokemon Tech and joined a bicycle gang. He tells everyone of when he died on a cold night with Growlie howling sadly into the night.
Everyone is starting to cry at this except for Ash and Misty. "What the hell are you guys crying for?!" Ash screamed at them. Misty growls, "James is alive right in front of you!" She exclaimed. This made everyone realize it was true what Ash and Misty were saying. They all then glared at James. James starts to state, he is confused about the past. He then tries to make a run for it, but Jessie and Meowth lasso him back. They want him to fake the wedding and then run off with the cash.
A few minutes later, James has changed into a blue suit and has his mouth covered. Everyone was mostly sweat-dropping at Jessie and Meowth are wearing their invisible costumes. Ash twitched an eyebrow at this, "That is the lamest plan, I think they've ever done..." Tomo nods, "Wow..."
They all watched as Team Rocket knocked on the door. Jessie was speaking for James behind her invisible costume. Hopkins is overjoyed to see his master home again.
Ash and his friends are confused as to why Hopkins can't see Jessie and Meowth. "Is that old man blind?" Ash questioned. "Needs glasses?" Tomo answered. Misty and Brock shrug.
Hopkins then started to lead James up to the room where his deceased parents rest in peace. Jessie who was still speaking for James, begins to blurt out how she wants the money. Ash and the group face-palm at this action, "Wow. Just wow..." Ash said shaking his head.
Just then to everyone's surprise. Other then James who twitches an eye. Laughing can be heard from inside the coffins. To everyone's surprise out jumped James's parents who were both alive. Tomo blinks at this, "They were alive the whole time?" Ash snorts, "Now, I see where James get's it from..." Everyone sweat-drops at that.
James then explains to Jessie and Meowth that he knew that they would "pull a stunt like this" to try and get him to come home. Now it is revealed that James isn't confused about the past, and the reason for wanting to leave so badly was because he doesn't want to get married. James tries to escape from his parents. Unfortunately he is caught by Hopkins immediately, along with Jessie and Meowth. Ash and friends realize that this was all part of a big plan to get James to come home and get married. "I feel sorry for him." Ash commented to his friends.
Upstairs in the mansion, James's parents reveal their reasoning for capturing James. They wanted hims to marry and continue the family line. James is very reluctant to see his future wife, Jessiebelle. Ash thought his future wife was gonna be ugly as sin, but to everyone's surprise she was a dead ringer for Jessie. Ash lifts a brow, "At least she has better manners then Jessie..." The group look at him like he's crazy.
James wants to leave immediately. He is stopped by Jessie and Meowth, who are still wearing their invisible costumes. They tell him that they want him to marry Jessiebelle so that he can get his parents inheritance. Apparently no one, except for Ash and the gang seem to notice Jessie and Meowth.
Jessiebelle lures Team Rocket down into the 'vault' by saying they'll count all of the money that James will inherit. Following them closely behind is Ash and his friends. This entire time, Jessie is covering James's mouth restraining him and speaking for him while Meowth moves his feet to walk.
Down in the basement, James's parents appear and tell him that he needs to be taught a lesson for running away from home. They also tell Jessie and Meowth that they have been aware of them the entire time and only pretended to not notice.
Jessiebelle begins having fun cracking her whip at her future husband, chasing him around the room. Ash and the gang are hiding in the background. Ash smirks, "Jame's fiance is into BDSM? Wow!" Ash whistled. The gang looked at Ash in shock. "Ash! Tomo is just 8!" Ash blushes, "Sorry... He'll have to understand it someday anyway..." The group watched James run away. They decided not to get involved in the family squabble.
Jessiebelle then releases her pokemon, Vileplume against James. She gets it to release Stun Spore. It knocks James out along with everyone else except James's parents. Before going down, James exclaims, "This is just like last time." Jessiebelle then vows to force James to become a gentleman even if it destroys both of them.
Ash's group, along with Jessie and Meowth are then thrown out of the mansion. "Nice manners those people have." Misty stated. Everyone hears a pounding on the doghouse door. They find out from Meowth that it wants the doors open. Ash and the gang go to try and open the door. It bursts open to reveal Growlie.
The Growlithe then runs into the mansion and appears in front of James, as if to protect him. Jessiebelle orders Vileplume to use Stun Spore on Growlie, but it lifts James onto its back. It jumps out of the mansion window before the stun spore hits. Jessiebelle who is now standing on the mansion roof, then proclaims, "I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth, and the bottom of the sea, James dearest." James somewhere else shudders at this.
James, Growlie, and the others hide in the doghouse. James thanks Growlie for saving him. His Growlithe starts to lick his face showing him affection. Jessie is disgusted by Jessiebelle's behavior and James explains that Jessiebelle is the real reason he left home. Ash grins, "At least he'll have an interesting time!" Ash singed. Everyone looks at him nuts. Ash shrugs, "What not my problem he got a fiance who's into BDSM..." James and everyone shuddered at that. James then explained that ever since the announcement of their engagement, Jessiebelle kept following James everywhere he went.
A flashback shows a young James running out of his house with a young Jessiebelle, carrying an Oddish. She was shouting at him for not running properly. As the flashback ends James admits that if he marries Jessiebelle. That it will be the worst mistake of his life. He gives a small smile while turning to his Growlithe. He states that Growlie is the only real friend he has on the estate.
Suddenly, Jessiebelle and Vileplume burst through the wall sending Jessie and Meowth flying out of the mansion. Jessiebelle gets ready to start a battle. She gets her Vileplume to try another Stun Spore attack. Ash glares at her, "I don't like this! Go Marine!" Ash shouted unleashing his Dratini. Jessiebelle gets hearts in her eyes seeing the cute dragon pokemon, "Oh! How cute!" Ash smirks, "She's more then cute! Show that Vileplume your power!" Growlie and Marine shoot a combination of Flamethrower and Dragon Rush right back at it. This causes Jessiebelle and Vileplume to run away in fear.
Jessiebelle knocks James's parents and Hopkins into a pond while running away, proclaiming how much she hates Jame's Growlie. She leaves them convinced that she's too good for their son. From the bushes, James says goodbye to Growlie and asks it to look after his parents. James states would rather live the free low-life with Team Rocket instead of the upper-crust lifestyle. Growlie howls sadly as James heads off.
Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth are saddened by the loss of James and believe him to have left with Jessiebelle. Just then they hear a familiar voice that says "Prepare for trouble." It is James, flying in the Meowth balloon. James pulls Jessie aboard, and they vow to continue their own free lifestyle. As Jessie and James look into each other's eyes in happiness. Meowth yells from the ground that they forgot him.
Ash and crew end up being chased by Jessiebelle away from the mansion. She's pleading for them to help her find her beloved James. Ash looks at her in panic, "He's the one who finds us! You crazy women!" Ash shouted in alarm. The gang just keeps on running.
End Chapter 22
Ash now has a Aerodactyl, Kabutops, Omastar, and Charizard. I wonder what he's gonna capture or have evolve next. Tomo now has a Kabuto and Omanyte. I wonder what pokemon the gang will capture next. Review and tell me what you think should be on his pokemon journey in Kanto and other regions. Or what pokemon should he evolve. Also tell me if there should be a love interest or not. Also if there should be fanart would be a cool idea. I have some already. If anyone wants some that'll be cool for the story. Also if anyone wants to make any the more the merrier. I love that stuff.
I am not a writer. I'm an animator/illustrator. So this story is a fun creation on my time. For viewers who wanted to know why there are some writing mistakes.
