"indeed, we're not in team rocket anymore" says james
"yeah, well if you think you're stealing my pokemon you've got another-!... wait, what'd you say? you're not in team rocket?" says ash
"that's right kid. we quit a while back" says jesse
"you.. you did? well, how am I suppose to believe that?" says ash
"take a good look at what we have on. no team rocket uniforms, no motto, no affiliation. trust us kid, we're done with the team rocket stuff and you have no reason to worry about us doing wrong. say jesse, perhaps if we tell him our story that might convince him" says james
"yes, it just might, my dear james" says jesse
"huh? what story?" says ash looking at them both
"our little story of when we left. it was right around the time you left the kalos league. we had lost track of you and pikachu afterwards and couldn't locate you so we returned to team rocket HQ. after our many failures we were reassigned to doing minor jobs, and even after excelling at these tasks and our years of experience we were never advanced in our rank. after a while we decided to give up the life of crime and quit team rocket for good, and to be honest it was the best thing we ever did in a long time" says james
"ah... whoa, you guys aren't lying..." says ash
"ha, of course not. despite our past we aren't cold blooded animals, we're kind and trusting individuals at heart. while team rocket was fun, er.. well at times, there was no real future in it for us. we realized that if we couldn't excel our careers in team rocket then we would do so ourselves on our own" says jesse
"that's right, so we left team rocket and formed our own team, our own pairing" says james
"huh? your own team?" says ash
"that's right. shall we, james?" she says looking at james
"yes, lets" he says looking back
the two then stand straight facing ash leaning their heads forward with eyes shut as ash looks on. after a few seconds they quickly raise their heads and open their eyes.
"we are, the one and only team! we are, J and J!" they both say in sync
"james" he says
"jesse" she says
"all for one!" says james holding out his hand
"one for all!" says jesse holding out her hand on top of james'
"and all for team justice!" they both say
they end their routine by striking poses as ash watches them, a bit dumbfounded.
"huh? team justice?... um... ok then...weird.." he says
james and jesse both stand up to face ash normally.
"well our team is still in development so... we haven't decided on a true name yet haha" says james
"team justice is the one we like most though" says jesse
"oh... u-um... I see..." says ash
"well anyway, as we said you no longer need to worry about us wrongdoing. we have no quarrel anymore, as a matter of fact we came here to make your acquaintance, and to offer congrats on your recent winning of the indigo league. so twe- er, ash, congrats" says jesse
"oh, well thank you" says ash nodding
"yes, after battling and losing to you so many times we know first hand how skilled you are. you inspire us to do better in our goals, and we have. we don't need team rocket, we're skilled in many things. we're multi-talented" says james
"indeed, no matter what career we uptake we do great at. actor, chef, news anchor, athelete, office worker, we can do it all" says jesse
"and of course, we've improved as pokemon trainers as well.." says james grinning
"oh? you have?" says ash
"oh yes, we dedicated ourselves to our pokemon and ourselves as trainers" says jesse
"yeah... but the one passion we've indulged the most... is our passion for each other.." says james
the two look at each other blushing a little as ash stands there confused.
"james.." she says
"jesse, my sweet.." he says
the two slowly get closer to each other.
"you know, I searched for true love for most of my life and it was after I left team rocket that I discovered it was right here under my nose this whole time. sweet james" says jesse
"likewise, I found something that I love more than my family's wealth or my bottle cap collection. my fairest jesse" says james
they then get right next to each other, james wrapping his arms around jesse's waist and jesse wrapping her arms around james' neck.
"my beautiful rose" he says
"my handsome stud" she says
they gaze lovingly into each others' eyes. then they lean their faces in and passionately kiss. the two lock lips for a few seconds while ash, shocked and a little weirded out, tries to turn away and not watch blushing a bit.
"er... oh man, do they really have to do that here? uck" he says quickly
james and jesse eventually stop kissing and look over at ash.
"uh oh jess, guess we got carried away. we made our little friend uncomfortable" says james
"oh, what's wrong kid?
