Hello :P It is Wednesday and I am back with a new update. Like the last chapter, this one was written quite a while ago but I think it's still okay. The reason I am uploading this particular one is it's going to be a Jessie and James chapter sandwiched between two James and Lynne ones :P I feel like this months will be all James related ones and that's all good with me. He's been the topic of me and Shannon's conversations a lot lately. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own only the story :3 (Which I think is an AU set in Kalos sometime so they would be around 23.)

We all landed with the loudest and most painful thump I had ever experienced in my life. I opened my eyes but could see nothing past the cloud of dust that was surrounding us. I winced as a felt a sharp and agonising pain spiking from my neck down to my tail bone. Yikes. No wonder they seemed to dislike us. Blasting off wasn't a hoot.

You may think it was odd that this time, I blasted off with Team Rocket and you're actually right. It was a complete accident and I feared it would end up the most horrendous experience of my life.

When the smoke cleared slightly, I tried to tiptoe away from the members of the evil organisation but I stopped in my tracks when I bumped into the cat Pokémon's stomach.

"Tut tut tut, not so fast." The feline smirked and put a paw on my head to prevent me from heading anywhere before glancing over at his human teammates. "Look 'ere, Jessie and Jim; the twerp's rodent seems to have blasted off with us.

My heart was in my throat and I was concerned that I would look up and see glinting evil orbs but as usual, my imagination was far scarier than the truth. In reality, they were recovering from our painful landing and flicking the dust out of their hair.

The magenta haired female looked over at Meowth from pouting and fixing her hair into its normal shape.

"Yeah, that's great Meowth."

The cat's expression fell and grew sour as he didn't receive the high praise he was hoping for. I let out a chuckle but soon went silent as the Pokémon narrowed his eyes at me. Meowth sighed, making his way over to Jessie and putting his paws on his hips.

"C'mon we've spent years waiting for an opportunity like this. With his twerpy buddies not around, he can't be commanded to use an attack. So hey presto, the little rat is ours."

I gritted my teeth at being called a rat but also narrowed my eyes in confidence. Yes of course I obeyed Ash but I could let off my own attacks whenever I felt like it. And at that moment in time, I felt like unleashing it on Meowth.

James sighed and pushed his hair out of his eyes, looking at his feline partner with an exhausted expression.

"We all know this isn't going to last. The twerps always get Pikachu back."

I nodded and smiled slightly at actually being addressed by my proper name but James was too busy glancing at his female companion who was beginning to scowl.

"Will you stop being so negative? Maybe this time they won't get him back. Maybe this time he is ours."

Upon hearing these words, James and I shared the same expression. We found it interesting and slightly amusing that she was allowed to be negative but disliked other people being that way. It's quite funny but a lot of people feel things they wouldn't like others to feel.

The lavender haired man just sighed, sitting cross legged on the ground.

"What's the point? You know the twerp is going to get him back eventually so we might as well get an early start tomorrow to find them and give him back."

These words caused both Jessie and Meowth to scowl but the Pokémon more so. I smiled and nodded. That sounded like an excellent plan.

The feline's expression grew sourer by the second and he trudged over to James' poking him with his claw.

"You're going soft, Jimmy, that's your problem."

James curled his lip at this but Jessie spoke before he could say anything. She sighed and stood up, putting her gloved hands on her hips.

"He's always been soft." She stated matter of factly and not really in an insulting way like Meowth had said it. James smiled slightly and played with his strand, listening to her continue. "So James, if the plan is to give Pikachu back, and I'm not saying it is…" she paused, turning to look at me with an expression as if to tell me not to relax yet.

I just sighed and shrugged, choosing not to react. Jessie soon sighed herself and continued a second time, taking her gloves off.

"What do you propose we do tonight?"

James stood up and copied the female's actions, smoothing down his hair before taking his own gloves off.

"Well if you haven't gone blind since our recent blast off, you would see we've landed right next to a lake which seems to be the perfect camp. So I suggest, we have some well-earned relaxing time."

When James smiled, Jessie nodded and returned the smile back before glancing at Meowth. His eyes were glinting with stubbornness but he soon sighed, realising that down time sounded good to him too.

I began to relax greatly when instead of whispering secret plans to capture me while I slept; Jessie went to start setting up the camp while James headed to the water's edge.

I watched as the lavender haired man knelt at the river bank, just staring into the water and stroking it lightly with his bare finger. That man had always been an unusual one to me but not in a bad way. He had been bought up with all the money he could possibly ask for but he still chose his friends and freedom. He was in a criminal organisation but he was actually a very nice guy. As the years went on, his eyes became more filled with depth. I knew there was so much more to him than the R on his shirt. You should never judge a book by its cover.

I was so distracted in my deep and humble thoughts that I didn't see Jessie give off a secret smirk and secretly approach James from behind. The man stood up carefully and bent over the water, ready to scoop some of it to wash his face. Before he could do any of that, Jessie let out a laugh and gave a mighty push, causing him to hurtle far into the water.

Meowth cackled with laughter from starting the fire, glancing at me in an inviting way. I soon let out my own giggles myself.

When James surfaced, he let out a loud gasp and flipped his hair out of his eyes, causing Jessie to get lightly sprayed. She didn't say anything but continued laughing when James narrowed his eyes at her. I could clearly see that he wasn't mad. His expression was a picture. He was trying to be mad but there was a major glint in his eye. Was it an idea for payback? Or was it a glint of respect or perhaps desire for his female partner?

James was a submissive fellow and just sighed; ignoring the icy coldness of the water he must be feeling. He ran a hand through his hair before holding his hand out to Jessie, his eyes full of forgiveness.

"Give us a hand?"

Upon seeing her male partner's hand outstretched, Jessie blushed slightly but took a step back, folding her arms. She hid her pink cheeks by raising a predicting eyebrow.

"Oh no you don't. I know you're going to try and pull me in or something."

Upon hearing this, James let off quite the convincing innocent and appalled expression. He shook his head so severely yet sincerely that water droplets fell from his forehead and onto his nose.

"You clearly don't know me. Would I do that?"

Jessie chewed her lip for a moment, clearly thinking. I glanced at Meowth and we both smiled and shook our heads. We didn't believe so. Even I knew James was one of the most loyal people out there and also quite often not the most predictable of sorts either.

The magenta haired woman saw we were shaking our heads and sighed slightly, moving forward and linking her hand to her partner's. They both blushed but they shook it off with their individual looks of trust and innocence.

"Come on then, you."

Jessie gave a gentle tug to pull James out but before she could give it all her strength, he swiftly moved his arm and tugged her in with him. Once again, Meowth and I shared a giggle.

James let out his own hearty laughter as he watched Jessie gasp as she surfaced and brushed her long hair out of her eyes. She tried to be angry at the male but she just couldn't. The setting was too perfect and also maybe she thought he was too. She narrowed her eyes but they were filled with fondness and playfulness.

"You are so dead." She muttered before lightly grabbing the male by his ears before getting him in a headlock. He tried to swim away but she was too quick and she soon had him in a half-hearted wrestling move.

"No no no, stop." James continued to laugh but wriggled, obviously knowing from experience that she could easily take him down, even if they were just playing.

The lavender haired male began flailing about to try and get enough sympathy for her to stop but it didn't work. James continued trying to push her away and in the process ended up with his hand gripping her side and quite near to a rather intimate area. The lady blushed the colour of her hair but didn't bat him away.

I shuffled over to Meowth and plopped myself on the ground next to him where he was watching the scene. He gave me a slight nod and I gave him one back and together we watched the pairs antics unfold. We watched them wrestle and shove one another, playfully pull each other's hair and swim away from each other's torture tactics.

After laughing heartily together, they soon realised how dripping with lake water they were. Out of habit, Jessie reached and tugged off the top layer of her clothing to reveal a modest black crop top. She clearly wasn't expecting a reaction from James but tonight was different. Tonight he ran a hand through his hair and looked at her up and down, his expression full of longing.

Jessie blushed when she noticed James noticing her and covered it up but showing off a playfully grin and trying to splash him right in the face. The shot was powerful but missed and got him right in the chest. James inhaled through his teeth at this cold blast before proceeding to take off his own top layer, revealing a well fitted and black vest top.

This time it was Jessie to react and I saw her eyes move from his shoulders to his collarbones and then to his arms and hands. I held my breath as he moved slightly towards her, his hand outstretching with the desire to touch. Jessie smirked at him and wanted to take the lead once again and just grabbed his hand, pretending to beat his own chest again.

Soon enough, they went back to fooling around and wrestling like friends but I knew deep down there was something more and they too wanted there to be. I sighed quietly to myself and was trusting that romance would take over soon enough. I turned back to my side and expected Meowth to be off distracted with food or something but he was right there next to me and his expression was slightly concerning.

His blue eyes were wide and fixed on Jessie and James and if I was not mistaken, they were pricking slightly with wetness of realisation. He blinked and swallowed when he saw me before pointing back to the pair with his claw.

"Don't you see what's happening? I wonder if they have a clue…" he mumbled before he let out another quiet gasp and spoke once again. "Tonight… Tonight they're falling in love. They're falling in love. Tonight. Now. Right now."

My eyes grew slightly soft with dare I say it, fondness for the other Pokémon. After all this time was it only just hitting him what his best friend's relationship could lead to if they wanted it to? Meowth just sighed quietly to himself before lying back on the river bank, his paws behind his head. I copied his actions and together we did indeed watch Jessie and James slowly begin to fall in love.

They stayed in the water and played around; pretending to dry each other's faces before wetting them again and in general let their hearts and minds grow closer.

As my eyes grew blurry with desiring sleep, I watched Jessie and James hold onto each other and desire one and other.

It was truly perfect. He came from a home that had plenty of money to go around but not a lot of love. She on the other hand, was raised with barely any money but a lot of love when her family was still around. Both their hearts were so different, big, flawed and broken but still perfect for each other. They were completely opposite in so many ways but they worked well together and their hearts and hands grew to fit one and other's. Everything they did seemed made for two and everything about them complimented the other person. It's funny how the universe just happens to work out these things. Then again, looking back now at their friendship's and love's journey, I believe that it is all meant to be. Relationships are perfect as the ones I know are far from being coincidences. It's all written in the stars. But they are the ones who have to rocket towards each other to achieve their own perfection. And that's certainly what Jessie and James did, from that moment and to eternity.

The End.

There you go! Thanks a lot for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 Pikachu and Meowth's relationship is definitely something I want to write more about. After all, they are both pretty much a third wheel for Ash and Misty/Jessie and James respectively :P And they seem to get along in the anime when Team Rocket and the Twerps join forces so it seems like something I should write about. Thanks again and I will be back on Wednesday so see you then!
