James’ Revenge

Chapter One

"Pokeball, go!" Ash screamed as he pelted his pokeball to the ground.
Squirtle popped out and washed away Wheezing’s sludge attack.  Wheezing
hit the ground but immediate popped back up.  Arbok lunged for Squirtle
but he knocked it away with its tackle.  Arbok hit the ground hard and
Jesse frantically told him to stop.  "Smoke screen wheezing!" James
shouted.  Ash sent out Pidgeotto and he blue it all away.  Squirtle then
did his skull bash into Wheezing and Wheezing was sent hurtling towards
Jesse, Jesse screamed and was hit, hard.  Jesse plummeted off the cliff
screamed at the top of her lungs.  Ash, Misty, and Brock were long gone,
James through out his arms just in time to catch Jesse’s hand.  "Please
don’t let go!" Jesse was now crying, fearing for her life.  "Hold on
Jesse," James was crying also.  Jesse’s glove slowly started to slip,
"I… I…" Jesse stuttered, then both at the same time Jesse and James
blurted out, "I LOVE YOU!" Then Jesse fell towards the rocky pool of
water so far below them, "NO!!!!!" James screamed and jumped out but was
held back by Arbok and Wheezing, "Jesse, no."  James sat crying, each
tiny teardrop falling to the damp grass.

Chapter Two

"Prepare for trouble… Make it double… To protect the world… To unite…"
James walked along the empty path mumbling to himself, he was devastated
by Jesse’s fall.  He kept picturing the cliff, and her hand slipping
away, her screams echoing through the canyon.  He walked towards Team
Rocket Headquarters with his head hanging down.  He entered the building
and walked up to the boss, Persian hissed at James.  Usually he would
have backed away but now he just shoved the cat aside.
"James, how dare you come in here uninvited and address me without even
a proper greeting!" Giovani bellowed, "And then you come in and push
away my beautiful persi…" he was cut off by James.
"Shut up!" he screamed, "All you ever do is shout at me and Jesse for
screwing up!  I’ve had it!  Now you can’t shout at Jesse anymore, she’s,
gone," he choked a bit but continued, "and you can’t shout at me
either!  I quit!"
Giovani was shocked at first, but then he smiled, "you’re a strong boy
James, and I’m sorry."  With that he vanished.  James scowled and then
walked outside.  Meowth followed with silence.
"What are you still doing here!?!" James screamed at Meowth.  "You’d
think Giovani would actually take you in after this you ungrateful rat!"
Meowth just sat in silence, tears forming in his eyes.  "I didn’t mean
it," James looked down at the ground.
"You did, and you’re right probably, but you’re my, you’re my…"
"What?"
"You’re my friend James."
"Huh?"
"Giovani deserted me, but you and Jesse always stuck with me, I wouldn’t
want to go back to him…"
James smiled and they continued on.  James knew it wasn’t right to have
taken Jesse’s Pokemon, but it wasn’t right to leave them, and Jesse
would have wanted them to be safe.  He looked at Arbok’s and Likitung’s
pokeballs.  Tears once again formed in his eyes.  He spent the rest of
the night crying in the forest, until he fell asleep.

Chapter 3

The next day James decided to go find Jesse’s family to tell them of
Jesse’s death.  So after changing out of  his Team Rocket attire, and
into a T-shirt and jeans, he and Meowth continued on to Jade City,
Jesse’s hometown.  He arrived in Jade City a few hours later.  It was
small town with small, quaint houses.  He figured there would be a
listing of residence at the pokecenter, or he could at least find a
birth certificate.  He realized that after almost 10 years of working
together he never learned Jesse’s last name.  He walked into the center,
there Nurse Joy greeted him.  He asked for birth certificate records and
Nurse Joy pointed him to a small computer near the back.  He did a
search on Jessica.  34 matches were found.  ‘Well,’ he thought, ‘I guess
I’ll start at the top.’  So he clicked on each name, Jessica after
Jessica after Jessica, he viewed each one.  Jessica Mills, Jessica Kone,
finally, about 2 Jessicas from the bottom, he found her.  Jessica.  No
last name was given… He clicked on more information, and read the sad
tale.

Chapter 4

It read: "Child was rescued from burning house occupied by thieves at
time.  Child gave one name to rescuers, Jessica.  Claimed she was an
orphan and thieves were adopted parents.  Taken into a house of current
residents in Jade City, ran away 3 days later, never found again."  It
showed a picture of the girl, unmistakable blue eyes and rosie hair
pulled to the side, just like Jesse’s.  James again started crying at
the site of her.  Meowth was also crying.  He stayed in a local hotel
for awhile before deciding on what to do next.   So he sat, day after
day trying to get his head strait from everything that happened.  But
every day all he could think of was how he was the one that let Jesse
go, he was the one that didn’t do more to save her, and he was the one
who would have to live with it the rest of his life.  The finally, one
cold Friday, Meowth had an idea.
"You know those bratty kids?" Meowth asked James.
"Huh? Wha… Oh yah that guy with the squinty eyes, the ugly girl with the
red hair, and that pesky boy, uh what’s his name… those ones with the
bad fashion statement…"
"Yah those three, you know James, it wasn’t your fault Jesse fell over
the edge."
"Huh? It wasn’t?" James seemed to brighten up a little.
"Yah, it was they’re fault, all because that Squirtle ramming Wheezing
into Jesse."
"Urrrr, now I remember," tears formed in James’ eyes again, but this
time they weren’t just tears of sadness, they were tears of anger.
"I have a plan," continued Meowth, "We go and push that girl Misty over
the edge, see how that Ash kid likes it, see how he feels."
"But Meowth, isn’t that um, murder?"
"Not if it’s an accident…" Meowth and James laughed into the night
plotting the demise of  Misty, and the revenge of James.
Chapter 4

Ash, Misty, and Brock were walking down a small dirt road on their way
to Fuchsia City.  They were all feeling sort of guilty for not helping
when Jesse got hit, but they figured it she was okay, they hadn’t seen
her fall.  They stopped at a small pond to take a break and eat lunch,
but they’d never expect what would come next.
"Lunch is great Brock!" Ash mumbled while stuffing his face.
"You’re such a pig Ash," frowned Misty.
"Hey did you hear that?" Brock asked.
"No," Ash mumbled, "what did you hear Brock?"
"Hmmm, I though I heard something in the bushes.
"Hey I heard it too!" Misty exclaimed.
"Maybe it’s the wind," Ash mumbled while sticking his finger up in the
air, "Yup, it’s wind all right!" They continued eating.
But it wasn’t wind in the bushes they heard, it was Meowth.  He waited
for the perfect moment, James tossed out Likitung’s pokeball and it
popped out, "Go distract them!" James hissed.  Likitung hobbled over
towards Ash, Misty, and Brock.
"Hey it’s a Likitung! I’ve gota catch it! Pikachu, Go!"  But Pikachu
didn’t go out, "Huh, Pikachu? AHHHHH PIKACHU’S GONE!!!!"  Ash fell over
on the ground crying, Misty and Brock ran over to comfort him.
Meowth chuckled, so did James, they’re plan had finally worked, Pikachu
was safely inside they’re electric proof, sound proof case.  Pikachu
tried with all it’s might to escape, but it was no use.  "This is our
best plan ever!" smiled James, "Why hadn’t we thought of it earlier?"
James and Meowth snuck away leaving the ransom note silently on a stump
next to the campground.
Meanwhile, Ash, Misty, and Brock were frantically searching for
Pikachu.  "Hey you guys," Brock announced, "I found something, it’s a
ransom note!!!"  The other two hurried over to see what it said,
scribbled in messy handwriting it read,
"If you ever want to see your pathetic Pikachu again, come to Pokepeak
tonight! And bring doughnuts."
"Pikachu’s been kidnapped?" Ash again fell to the ground crying.
Later that night, the group headed towards Poke Peak.

Chapter 5

The air was chilled, the 3 friends huddled close together on the
canyon.  It was a dark night because the clouds hid the moon’s
incandescent light.  They heard a rumbling in the bushes and two cloaked
figures stepped out.  One was very tall the other very short.  Both in
the same black robes that were hiding their true identity.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Oh no not Team Rocket again!"
"We’re not Team Rocket now shut up and listen to our motto!"
The taller cloaked figure cleared his throat, "Prepare for trouble!"
The smaller figure continued, "And make it double!"
"To protect the world from heartless killers."
"To unite all people against tax billers."
"To denounce the evils of lies and hate."
"To extend our goal to outer space!"
"Meowth!"
"James!"
"We blast off at the speed of light!"
"There’s no surrendering, so prepare to fight!"
"That’s right!"
‘It just gets lamer and lamer,’ Ash thinks.
James and Meowth stood tall in the night, they seemed to tower over the
hole world.  They had evil looks on their faces, smiling wickedly.
"What are you two doing here and what’s with the anti-rocket thing?" Ash
demanded.
"We quit! Now hand over the doughnuts!"
"Umm, we sorta ate them coming over here," Brock smiled.
"Urrrr," James scowled and turned to Meowth, "They forgot the doughnuts!
Should we push Brock off too?"
"Lets not be greedy James," Meowth whispered, "There will be more
donuts, lets just get what we came for."
"Can you hurry this up? Where’s my Pikachu!?" Ash demanded.
"Shut up kid, we’ll give you back your Pikachu, as soon as we get what
we came for," Meowth smiled.
"But we ate the doughnuts," Brock pointed out.
"We know that!" Screamed James, "But that’s not the thing we came for!"
"So what do you want!?!?" Screamed Misty.  James grabbed Misty’s arm and
hurled her off the cliff.  Her screams echoed through the canyon.
"NOOOOOO MISTY!!!!!" Ash cried out and hurtled a pokeball through the
air.  Pidgeotto popped out and flew down the canyon, "Get Misty!"
"No! Our plan!" Meowth hissed, he scratched Ash’s face in two quick
swipes.  Ash fell to the ground, crying in pain.
Pidgeotto flew back up over the edge, no Misty.  "W-where is she?" Ash
sobbed.  Pidgeotto explained to Ash, he couldn’t find her.  "No… Wait!
Charmander go with Pidgeotto into the canyon!" Ash threw the pokeball
and Charmander hopped on Pidgeotto back.
James and Meowth sat and scowled, their plan had been ruined.  "Why is
it always us!?" James screamed, "We always get the bad luck!  We always
loose the people we love!"
"Wha?" Ash and Brock looked puzzled.
"Because of your stupid Squirtle Jesse’s gone!" James cried, "Because of
you…" He got up and ran into the forest.  Meowth looked at the two boys
standing by the cliff, tears forming in his eyes, and he too ran into
the forest.
"B-but I didn’t know," Ash looked to his feet, his tears fell onto the
already moist ground, "Because of me, two people are gone, because of
me…"  Ash turned around and headed back on the path where the three
friends first stepped on earlier that night.  Ash threw down his
pokeballs and continued walking.  Brock now too was crying, he picked up
Ash’s pokeballs and sat down in the grass, waiting for what would come
next.

Chapter 7

Brock was still on that same spot the next morning, he woke up, hoping
it was all a dream, but it wasn’t a dream, it was a nightmare, a real
one.  He noticed Pidgeotto and Charmander weren’t back, "What happened,"
Brock said to himself, "How did this all go so wrong?" Tears formed in
his eyes, then he heard something, it was an earsplitting cry for help.
He ran to the canyon where the screams were echoing, bouncing off of
each wall, ringing in Brocks ears.  "Misty!" Brock shouted, "Misty I’m
here!"
"Brock! Help me!" Even if she was somewhere in the canyon she was alive,
Brock once again had tears in his eyes, but this time they were of joy.
"Where are you?" Brock shouted.
"I-I don’t know!" Misty cried, "But I’m here with Charmander and
Pidgeotto!"
"Why doesn’t Pidgeotto fly you up?"
"He’s hurt!"
Brock thought for a second, then he remembered.  He grabbed something
from his pocket and threw it down to Misty. "Catch!"
"Got it!"
"Good now use it on Pidgeotto!" Brock smiled, he remembered the super
potion. Moments later Pidgeotto emerged carrying Charmander and Misty.
Brock and Misty ran to each other and embraced in a giant hug.
"Where’s Ash?" Misty smiled.  Brock looked down to the ground, Misty saw
his pokeballs, "W-where is he?"

Chapter 8

"James?" Meowth shouted into the dark woods. "James where are you?"
Meowth had spent the whole night sleeping in a tree and was very tired
and sore.  To top that all off he couldn’t find James anywhere.  Meowth
was worried, he didn’t know what James would do if he wasn’t there.
"What have I done," asked Meowth, "Why did I force James into doing
something he normally wouldn’t, he was so blinded by anger that I pushed
him into something he wasn’t ready for."  Meowth knew what he had done,
but he had no idea how to change it.   "James! Where are you?"
If only he knew that James was in more trouble than he thought,
unconscious underneath an apple tree.
Meowth saw a clearing in the trees and headed towards it.  He came out
onto a small dirt path, where he saw Ash sitting on a rock with his head
in his hands.  "A-Ash?" Meowth stammered.
Ash looked up quickly, "How could you?" Ash looked deep into Meowths
eyes, he had been crying and each tiny tear stained his light face.
"I-I, how could you?"  Meowth started to say something but Ash cut him
off, "Why am I blaming you, it’s my fault, it’s my fault two people are
gone."
"Umm, I’m sorry." Meowth started, "I-I don’t know what I was thinking, I
guess I was almost as mad as James.  It’s not your fault Misty’s gone."
Meowth was now puzzled, he felt very sorry for Ash, but he didn’t know
what was happening, he felt things he hadn’t felt for a long time.  He
felt sorrow and something he couldn’t make out, then it hit him, he
cared about what happened, he felt caring for Ash.  Meowth staggered a
little, he couldn’t believe it, after all the years of trying to steal
Pikachu, and all the years filled with hate towards Ash, he actually
cared for him.
"What’s wrong now?" Ash snapped.  Meowth looked down, then began to cry.

"I’m sorry about all the times we tried to steal Pikachu, I’m sorry for
all the tricks we played on you!" Meowth fell to the ground in tears.
"Umm, it’s okay…" Ash patted Meowth on the back, and he smiled, ‘I guess
I have another friend now,’ he thought.  "It’s time we take action!"
Meowth looked up, "What?"
"We need to find James!"

Chapter 9

"Ash’s got be out there!" Misty frowned.
"ASH!" Brock’s shouts echoed through the forest.
"Where could he be Brock? Do you think he’s okay?"
"Hopefully."
Pikachu sat on Brocks shoulder, he was very tired after all that had
happened and wanted to find Ash more than anything. "Pika pi."
"We’ll find him Pikachu, don’t worry."  Misty and Brock walked along
further shouting for Ash at the top of their lungs.
"Hey I see something!" pointed out Misty.  The two friends ran towards
the person lying on the ground.
"It’s James!" Brock exclaimed, "What happened to him?" He was lying on
his back, pokeballs scattered all around him.  "Looks like he hit his
head."
"I know! Starmie, go!" Misty threw her pokeball through the air, too
late, Psyduck popped out instead.  "Not you Psyduck!!!!!!!!" Misty
called back Psyduck and threw Starmie out once again, Psyduck popped
out.
After about 2 hours Brock and Pikachu lay sleeping on the ground.  "You
stupid duck I ought to clobber you!" Misty screamed and woke up Brock
and Pikachu.
"This’ll never work," Brock shook his head an threw out Squirtle’s
pokeball.  Squirtle used watergun on James and soon he stirred.
"W-wha-what’s happening?" James sat up, "Where’s Jesse?" He looked at
Misty and Brock and remembered.  "No…"
"Are you okay?" Brock asked.
"Yah, I guess so," James once again looked at Misty, "You’re alive," he
smiled.
"Luckily," Misty smiled too.
"I don’t know what came over me, I’m so confused, why did I ever listen
to Meowth…"
"Uh, no hard feelings," Misty rolled her eyes.
"I’m so confused!" James burst out in tears and curled up in a little
ball on the ground.  Two hours later they finally got him calmed down
and they set out to find Meowth and Ash.

Chapter 10
Meowth and Ash walked side by side, looking straight ahead.  Mewoth
didn’t know why he had ever agreed to come with Ash.  "To find James,
that’s what’s important," Meowth stopped, "What am I saying?" Meowth
thought and looked toward Ash.  He scowled, and Ash looked back.
"Hurry it up won’t you?" Ash looked annoyed and continued on.
Meowth scowled again and kept walking.  "Why did I break down before,"
he asked himself, "I’m not like that, now I barely even care," he
snickered, "ha, I could care less If  I pushed Ash of a cliff right
now!" Meowth was now beaming, his toothy smile spread from ear to ear.
Ash looked back.
"What are you so happy about?" Ash snapped.
"Gezz, touchy."
"Be quiet!"
"Me be quiet, your the one with the big mouth brat!"
"Your the one who pushed my friend off the cliff!"
"Well you started it when you pushed Jesse off!"
"It was an accident!!!"
"Atleast you could’ve stayed to help!"
"Who would stay to help jerks like you!?"
"Who are you calling jerks!?"
"Oh, excuse me, only Jesse and James were jerks, now that they’re gone
the only one left is the freak!" Ash’s words echoed through the woods,
and through Meowth.
"Wh-wh-what did you call me?" Meowth stuttered, tears forming in his
eyes, flashes of Meowsie appeared inside his head.
"I called you a freak f-r-e-a-k, freak!"  Ash looked hard at Meowth, "Oh
what’s wrong you goona cry?"
Meowth slashed his claws across Ash’s face.  Ash fell back a little but
jumped right back, he clobbered Meowth with one hard blow.  Meowth dug
his claws down Ash’s side and bit his arm with all his might.  Ash threw
Meowth into a tree and ran off.  Meowth slid down, he breathed hard,
each and every muscle and bone in his body ached with a pain he had
never felt.  But there was something past the aches in his physical
self, he felt some part of him was missing.  Ash had reminded him of the
worst pain of all, what he was, Meowsie had said it before, now it was
someone else’s turn.  Meowth sat up, his face was bruised from when Ash
had hit him.  He coughed, and tried to stand up.  No use, he slipped
back down, he couldn’t make himself stand, he hurt too much.  So he sat,
and soon feel into a deep, deep sleep.

Chapter 11

"I’m hungry," complained James while the three walked through the dark
forest.
"You said that an hour ago!" whined Misty who now too was getting
Hungary herself.
"Clam down you two we’ll stop in a little while!" Brock looked at the
two annoyingly, and continued walking.
"Hey you guys, I see something by that tree!" Misty hurried over to the
object on the ground, "It’s Meowth!"  At hearing this James raced over
to his feline friend lying unconscious on the ground.
"Whats wrong wake him up!" James cried and shook Mewoth back and forth.
"Calm down James!" Brock hit James over the head with his trail map,
"Your only making it worse by shaking him!  Let’s just spray some water
on him or something to wake him up."
"Got it, Stamie, GO!"  Misty threw her pokeball towards the ground, but
sadly, instead of a Starmie, came a Psyduck.  "Psyduck you idiot! Not
you! You should be a Dumb-duck not a Psyduck!!!"  Misty screamed as she
threw out Starmie again.  Psyduck looked confused but returned to it’s
pokeball.  Starmie used watergun and Meowth stirred.
"Wh-what’s happening?"  Meowth looked around groggely.  "I have such a
bad headache, wheres Jesse, I had an awful dream."  James put his hand
on Meowths shoulder.
"It wasn’t a dream my feline friend, she’s gone."  Mewoth put his head
in his hands.
"Where’s Ash?" asked Misty, rather hopefully.
Meowth looked up, his face suddenly turned grim.  "That brat, who cares
about him."
"Wha," Misty started but Meowth harshly cut her off.
"It’s because of that brat I’m sitting here under this tree!  We got in
a fight and I bit and scratched, he punched and shouted, and then he
flung me off his arm into this tree, and that’s all I remember."
Meowths eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.
"Ash would never do that!"  Misty declared.
"But he did!  How else do you think I ended up here!?"  Meowth scratched
Misty’s arm.
"You little ra…"
"That’s enough you two, Meowths probably right, Ash was probably pretty
upset."  Brock cut in.
"We have to find him Brock."  Misty looked down, "We have to."

Chapter 12

Ash walked along the cliff where Misty had fallen just a day before.
"Why’d you have to die Misty, it wasn’t your time."  He walked along and
sat on a large rock, "It should’ve been me flying off that cliff not
you.  Now your gone.  Ash took off his backpack and looked through it.
Ticket stubs, brochures, clothes, and at the very bottom, he found a
small wrapped gift.  The one he was going to give to Misty for
Christmas.  "I never did."  Ash unwrapped the small box, and took out
the necklace with the silver pokeball.  He had gotten two one for
himself, and one for Misty, so they’d never be apart.  "But no, I’m too
chicken to admit how I feel, I’m too stupid to let her go."  Ash took
the necklace and put around his neck.  There it lay, right next to the
exact same necklace, the two silver pokeballs with the initials A+M
scratched on the back.  Ash was filled with every possible emotion a
person could have, joy, sadness, hate, he choked back his tears and
grabbed his backpack, swung it, and sent it plummeting over the cliff.
He then turned and ran, never to come back to that place again.
Ash ran until he got into town he stopped at the pokecenter and sat
down, he was breathing hard, his chest ached from the mile run.  He was
coughing and wheezing from being so tired, he choked even more from
trying to keep back the tears.
"Well well Ashy boy, tired from pretending to be a pokemon trainer?"
Gary Oak laughed.
"Shut up Gary how would you even know about being one?"
"Oh, what was that Ash I couldn’t quiet hear you over all that panting
your doing."
"I said," Ash stood up and punched Gary right in the chin.
Gary held his chin and looked at Ash, "S-s-sorry Ash, man, I um, gotta
go,"  Gary ran out of town faster than a dodrio.
Ash smiled, it felt good to humiliate Gary.  But he once again started
thinking about Misty, and he couldn’t smile, not now, never again.
He walked into the pokemoncenter, the only place he could stay.  "Nurse
Joy, is it alright if I stay here for a couple days, I’m outa money."
"Of course Ash," Nurse Joy smiled.
Ash walked past her into one of the spare rooms that wasn’t hosting any
sick pokemon.  He could see through a window into the room next to his,
"Maybe I’ll go see the pokemon."  Ash walked around the corner and
entered a dim room, it was full of stretchers and pokemon.  He saw a
pidgeotto hooked up to a respirator, a Pikachu that was really scratched
and bruised.  He saw bulbasaurs, squirtles, charmanders, butterfrees,
muks, krabbys, and primeapes.  He remembered his pokemon, some back with
profesor oak, some were with they’re kind and with other trainers, but
what about the others?  "I-I abandoned my pokemon," Ash realized, he put
his hand on the glass case of the pikachu, he knew they weren’t his
pokemon, but he couldn’t stop thinking about where they were, "What if
they’re lost, like this," Ash stood opened mouth, staring at all the
injured pokemon, realizing his were probably like this too.  He looked
away from the pokemon and ran as fast as he could out of the pokecenter.

"Have a nice da…" Nurse Joy started as Ash bolted out of the center.

Chapter 13

Brock, Misty, James, and Meowth walked along in silence.  Mewoth still
wasn’t sure why they were helping the good guys.  He sulked along in the
back of the line, a grim expression on his face.  James, in front of
Meowth, walked along slowly.  He was very tired and felt the same as
Meowth.  Misty and Brock just walked along in anticipation, they knew
they’d find Ash soon.
"Let’s stop I’m hungry," whined James.
"No!" snapped Misty.
"Please, I’m dyin back here!" Meowth hissed.
"NO!" Misty screamed and the two coward down.
"Misty, we should take a break, we’ve been walking for a while." Brock
took of his backpack and sat down on the cool grass to prepare a fire.
"I guess so," Misty sat down next to Brock.
"Yay! We’re gonna have a picnic!" Meowth sang cheerfully.
"Ye he he he!" James jumped onto a rock and sat down.
An hour later the four were sitting around the fire eating Brocks
delicious food.  All of the pokemon sat eating poketreats, except for
one.  Pikachu sat by a tree a little ways away from the group.  It had
been sitting in Misty’s backpack the whole trip, hearing everybody whine
and complain.  Pikachu had a very bad headache and still didn’t
understand why Ash wasn’t there.  Some of the other pokemon thought
they’d been abandoned, but Pikachu knew Ash would never do that.
Pikachu had a plan, a plan to find Ash.

Chapter 14

Later that night, when Misty, Brock, James, and Meowth were sleeping,
Pikachu crept out of it’s mini sleeping bag and towards Misty’s
backpack.  Pikachu quietly opened bulbasaurs, charmanders, squirtles,
and pidgeottos pokeballs.  The four pokemon stood sleepily behind the
bushes as pikachu explained the plan.  A half hour later, they left the
campsite and headed out towards the city to find Ash.  Pidgeotto, with
Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle piled on it’s back, flew
above the trees incase it spotted Ash somewhere.  Pidgeotto flew along
silently for a while, but soon enough, it spotted Ash, sitting by a
river, warming himself by a small fire.  Pidgeotto flew down towards Ash
and cried out, "Pidgaww!" Ash looked up to see his five pokemon sailing
toward him.  Pidgeotto landed on the grass and let the pokemon off.  It
breathed hard and fell over, exausted from the trip.
"Pidgeotto!" Ash cried and reached for his pokeballs, "Oh yah, I left
them."  Ash ran over to the tired pokemon and swept them up into a giant
hug, "I’m so sorry, I’ll never leave you again!" Ash let them go and
smiled at all of them. "We’ll head back to town in the morning," Ash
told them.  The five pokemon and Ash all huddled together around the
fire and soon fell asleep.

Chapter 15

Misty woke up to a beautiful sunny morning.  She yawned and sat up,
stretched, and looked around.  She looked across the campsite again,
something didn’t fit, something was wrong.  Brock stirred beside her but
didn’t wake up.  Meowth and James were snoring, loudly.  She looked
around some more and her atention drew to Ash’s back pack, it was
unzipped.  "That’s funny," Misty thought, "I know I zipped it."  She
crawled out of her sleeping bag and slowly made her way toward Ash’s
backpack, she pulled down the front flap and peered inside.  "They’re
gone!" Misty screamed, "Oh my god, they’re gone, someone stole them,
they’re gone!" She kept screaming at the top of her lungs the same
words.  Brock, James, and Meowth woke very abruptly from Misty’s
terified screams.  Brock was by her in a second, trying to calm her
down, 15 minutes later she was still crying, sobbing into her hands.
James and Meowth just stood to the side, still in awe from the whole
experience.
"Who, what, could’ve taken them?" Brock asked, "There are no signs of
anything else that was taken, and we surely would’ve heard if someone
came, and wouldn’t they have taken the pokeballs too?"
"Very weird," sighed Meowth.
"Yes, very," agreed James.
Misty, still on the ground, held Ash’s open pokeballs in her hands,
"Why would they leave?"
The guys attention turned towards Misty, "What?" Brock asked.
"No one took them," she snapped, "they left!"
"What do you mean they left?" Meowth looked towards Misty, "You think
they just got out of they’re pokeballs and walked away?!"
Misty slapped Meowth over the head, tears streaking her face, "Shut up!
They went to find Ash, what did you think you idiot?"
Meowth stared back at her, open mouthed, "Wha, but, I…" Meowth gulped
and breathed hard.
"Geez Misty, lighten up."  Brock looked hard at Misty, "Let’s go
James."  Brock, Meowth, and James got up and started to walk away.
"What?  Your leaving me?  No, please come back!" Misty made no effort to
move and just cried after them to return, they just continued walking,
with no intention of waiting up.  "Please come back I’m sorry!" Misty
cried, "Please!" Realizing they weren’t coming back Misty began sobbing
again, her cries sounding more like screams of pain. And the three
walking towards town could here them every step of the way.

Chapter 16

"Want some more Pikachu?" Ash held out the small piece of meat, Pikachu
sniffed it and shook his head. "It’ll be great to get back, won’t it?"
Pikachu smiled.  Ash layed back, looking up at the clouds. "I wonder
what they guys are doing right now." Ash sighed and rolled over, it felt
good to relaxe on the moist grass.  He and Pikachu had been walking most
of the morning, the were finally on the dirt road instead of the back
terain.  What a joy for their feet, Ash sat up and took a deep breath of
the crisp morning air.  Just as quickly as becoming relaxed, Ash found
his thoughts turning towards Jesse, again.  "I-I-it wasn’t my fault,"
Ash choked, startled, Pikachu looked up towards Ash.  His once happy
friend was now breathing awkwardly and starring into the forest.
"Pika?" Pikachu walked towards Ash, slowly, with every step Ash seemed
to be getting more anxious, more enthused to do, something.  Pikachu
couldn’t quite place it, but he was worried. "Pika-pi-pikachu?" Pikachu
lifted his tiny paw to Ash’s arm when all of a sudden Ash stood up.
Pikachu fell back, he was now more scared than ever, Ash had a wild
glare in his eye, a haunting smile on his face, Pikachu wasn’t scared,
he was terified.
Pikachu crawled back, he didn’t know who was standing before him, it
wasn’t Ash.  Ash never once looked down to Pikachu, with the smile on
his face he ran, he ran in the direction of the cliff.  Pikachu watched
as he disapeared through the trees, and with an undiscribable horror, he
realized what Ash was going to do, Pikachu stared on with the terrible
realization, Ash was going to jump.

Chapter 17

Brock, James, and Meowth sat in the small café in Jade City, the city
just a few miles away from the cliff.  James sipped his latte while
Meowth blew bubbles in his chocolate milk.  Brock sat over his map of
the area, tapping his foot, an hour ago he sent out Zubat to find Ash,
or maybe Pikachu.  Now he was worried.
"Where’s Subut?" James asked, a bit of foam on the tip of his nose.
Brock rolled his eyes, "It’s Zubat…foam boy."
"What?" James turned to Meowth, he giggled at the site of James, Brock
smiled too.  "What’s so funny?"  James looked at the two, he was very
confused, but he went back to sipping his latte and all was quiet again.

"It’s Zubat!" Brock jumped out of his chair and ran out side, there in
the middle of the street was Zubat, exausted from his flight. "Whatcha
find?" Zubat sighed and shook his head.  "He didn’t find Ash," Brock
sighed at put Zubat back in his pokeball.
"Where could he be?"  Meowth shook his head, personally he didn’t care,
he figured he and James could play along, then bolt out of there once
they had some money.  James on the other hand still thought Ash was the
key to bringing back Jesse, and Meowth couldn’t go on alone.  He sighed
and went back inside.  James and Brock followed, they left a tip, and
went back to the pokecenter, where they were staying.
"Atleast he has his pokemon with him!" James tried to sound
enthusiastic.  He sighed when there was no response from Brock.  James
paced around, there was nothing to do, he was bored.  "I say we go out
and look for Ash!" James waited for an agreement, none.  "Hello?
Anybody home?" James sighed, no use, Meowth was scowling in the corner
and Brock sat in deep thought.  James sighed and sat back down.
Two people walked through the pokecenter door, a guy wearing a black
team rocket uniform, and a girl, not just any girl, it was Jesse!  James
lit up and raced across the center, "Jesse!" he cheered and threw his
arms around the girl, he tiped her over and planted one, right on the
lips.  He was then pushed off from his lip lock and looked the girl up
and down.
"Like, what’s your problem?" The girl stared at James, disgusted.  It
wasn’t Jesse, she didn’t even look like Jesse!  She had short brown hair
pulled into two unatractive pigtails, she was short, had dull brown
eyes, and the worst part of all, taken.
"Don’t touch my Katerina," the boy in the black uniform sized up James,
the short girl, also in a black uniform, stood looking James up and
down.  "You should know better than to mess with Team Rocket!"  The boy
glared into James eyes, at first James was chickening out, for one thing
Meowth was rolling on the floor, laughing at him.  Jesse popped back
into James’ head and he shoved the boy into the couch behind him.
"Don’t tell me to not mess with Team Rocket!  I quit Team Rocket!"
"Why, you a chicken?"
"No I’m not, I quit because," James stagered a bit, "because the love of
my life died when we were trying to steal some pokemon!"
The boy looked at James one last time, "Come on Katerina, lets leave
these wussies."  The two ran out of the center, mumbling bad things on
the way out.
James walked back over to Meowth and Brock, he glared at the stupid cat
rolling with laughter on the floor, "Let’s go Brock," he stepped on
Meowths head and continued to walk to Brock, "We’re gonna find Ash, and
my Jesse."

Chapter 18

Ash entered the clearing of the Peak.  Still with the wild grin on his
face he looked across the vast canyon.  "I’m coming Misty!" Ash walked
up to the cliffs ledge and breathing hard looked down the steep cliff.
He swallowed and closed his eyes, he bent his knees and…
"Wait," Ash spun around at the sound of the voice, "Please don’t jump,"
a cloaked figure stepped out from the bushes, it was still light out but
Ash couldn’t tell who it was for his vision was blured too badly.  "Your
friend Misty is living, you have no need to jump."
"Th-that wasn’t the reason," Ash put his hand behind his head and looked
down.
"Oh, I understand."
"You do, wha?" The mysterious figure had diapeared and Ash was left
standing alone.  Ash swallowed, waiting a moment for his breath to come
back to normal.  He squated down to the ground and looked up toward the
bushes, Pikachu and his other pokemon stood watching him, they knew who
the figure was, but they had no way to tell him.

Chapter 19

Misty walked through the heavy brush and cluttered trees, she was mad,
really mad.  ‘How could Brock do this to me?’ Misty thought, ‘He had no
right to leave me!’ Misty sat down on a rock she threw her backpack to
the ground, Psyduck popped out of his pokeball.
"Psy-duck!" Psyduck smiled cheerfully up toward Misty.
"Get back in your pokeball!"  Misty snaped at Psyduck, it tilted it’s
head, confused.  "I said get back in!" Misty screamed and backhanded
Psyduck off the rock it was now perched upon.  Psyduck stood, teary eyed
toward Misty.  "That’s it, I’ve had enogh of you!"  Misty stepped toward
Psyduck with an evil glare on her face.  Psyduck, now shaking, backed
away from his crazed trainer, his tears now flowing freely.  "This is
the last time you’ll ever disobey me you worthless duck!" Psyduck was
now panicking, it was running around in circles and screaming it’s head
off, just as you’d expect Psyduck to normally do.  Misty was walking
over, getting closer by the minute when Psyduck stopped, so did Misty.
Psyducks eyes turned blue, Misty breathed hard, shaking a little.  Some
thing about Psyduck seemed to tell Misty, ‘Now who’s the scared one?’
Misty’s jaw trembled and she stepped back, "no," Misty flew into the air
was left there shaking for a second and then fell, back into a deep blue
pool of water, with a bone crushing smack as she hit the surface, and
there Psyduck left her, and walked away.
Misty awoke under a bright light, she blinked a little then sat up,
Nurse Joy stood in a corner.  "What happened?"  Misty asked grogoly.
"Someone found you and brought you in, we’re too far from any other
hospital, so I had to treat you hear."
"What happened to me?"
"I don’t know."
Misty remembered what happened, it was Psyduck, Misty’s anger built up
inside her.  "I’m ready to go."
"Are you sure, you’ve been unconcious for 3 days."
Misty sat back a bit, 3 days, "No, I’m leaving now."  And with that she
got up, she was going to find that stupid duck, and return his favor,
unless she ran across 3 certain somebodies first.

Chapter 20

James yawned, they’d been walking for the whole day, it was a long walk
to the peak with no map.  Brock, who had accidentally lost the map,
thought they should go there because that would be the best place to
reunite with everyone.  Finally they reached the clearing.  James
started to get his sleepingbag.
"Wait," Brock ran over to the cliff, "Ash."
Ash turned around and smiled, he hoped up and the two friends hugged,
"I’m sorry," Ash began as he pulled away, "I was being stupid and self
centered, I never ment to hurt so many people."
Brock smiled and nodded his head.  James and Meowth stepped from behind
Brock, they smiled and waved.  Ash smiled back.
"W-wheres Misty?"
Brock hesitated, "We left her, she wasn’t helping us."
Ash frowned, nodded, and turned his back to them.
"Look Ash, we had no other choice, she didn’t even try to follow us."
"I understand."
James broke the temporary pause, "Any signs of her?"
"Her?"
"Jesse."
Brock and Meowth looked shocked, they knew just as well as James that
she was gone.
Ash turned again, "no, but I did see someone, a clocked figure, a woman
I think, she saved me."
James beamed, he knew his angel would return.
"Stop giving him ideas Ash," Meowth hissed, "It will only hurt him
more."
"They’re not ideas Meowth."
"I believe him," James rolled out his sleeping bag and wished them all
sweet dreams.
Meowth and Brock gaped at Ash who smiled proudly and too got into his
sleeping bag a drifted off to prepare for the wild morning yet to come.

Chapter 21

"Oh Jesse, I love you."
"And I you my sweet,"
"Now that the boss is gone we own Team Rcoket, and can do as ever we
please."
"Yes, close your eyes James, kiss me."
"I love you,"
"Kiss me."
James jumped, being woken from his beautiful dream, "Awwww."
"I finally found you, the suspects always return to the scene of the
crime."
Brock, Ash, and Meowth were now awake, they sat wide eyed at the sight
of Misty.  Ash jumped up and ran toward Misty and threw his arms around
her in a giant hug.  Misty in return kissed him but pulled away, "I’m so
happy to see you, Misty, I have to tell yo…"
"Shut up," Misty pushed him away, "What nerve do you three have?" Misty
pointed a finger at the three sleepy boys siting on the ground, "You
left me, you walked away, you ignored me, ME!" The three now stood
looking very confused toward Misty, "And you know what happened to me?
I was abandoned by my own pokemon abandoned me after throwing me into a
river!" Misty screamed and the for boys jumped.
"So Psyduck finally got the better of you," Brock smirked.
"Shut up, you have treated me disrespect and that caused me much pain,
and now I’m here to give it back." Brock swallowed at Misty’s words,
"First the one who hurt me the most," James’ closed his eyes, he knew
what was coming, he paused, there was nothing, he opened one eye.  Misty
was walking towards Ash.
"W-w-what are you doing Misty, I love you, are you crazy?" Ash stammered
as he stepped back into a tree.
"Psyduck?" Misty snapped her fingers and Psyduck stepped out from behind
a bush, he was wearing a metal choke colar.  Misty pulled out a remote
and pressed a button, the shaking duck snapped up and his eyes began to
glow, "Psyduck, choke atack now."  Ash looked into Misty’s eyes,
nothing.  Seconds later he was in the air against the tree like some
invisible hand was holding him up, choking the life from inside him.
Brock clasped his hand over his mouth, he felt sick to his stomach and
sank to the ground.
Ash struggled gasping for air in short strugled breaths.  Psyduck had
tears around the rims of his blue eyes, "Why?" Ash choked, still
coughing and gasping for breath.
"WHY? You want to know WHY?" Misty screamed, "I’ll tell you why, I’ve
had enough of being thrown around, I’ve had enough of being a nobody,
but this, this will make me a somebody, my plan? I’ll kill you all, and
blame it Brock, claiming to be the only servivor, what a tragedy."
"What?" Brock looked up, he know knew he WAS going to sick.  Brock
swallowed and covered his face with his hands, trying to muffle sobs of
fright.
James moaned, he didn’t want it to end this way.  Misty turned, and
walked toward him, smiling at Brock’s sobs and Ash’s chokes of pain.
She looked into James’ eyes, "Now it’s my turn for revenge," Misty
lunged at James, pulling a knife from her pocket and pulling it to his
throat, James screamed.
All of a sudden someone leaped from the trees ontop of Misty, the
weight pushed James to ground.  The person rolled Misty off of James and
threw her into a tree, the knife sailed from Misty’s hand off the
cliff.  By that time the cloaked figure, who had saved both Ash and
Misty before was now revealed.

Chapter 22

"Jesse?" James stood in awe.  The control had been broken and Ash was
now holding his throat, sitting at the bottom of the tree, Brocks sobbs
had seesed and he was now staring too at Jesse.  Meowth had fainted from
the whole experience and was lying on the ground.
"I’m alive, my love," Jesse ran to James and pulled him into her arms,
"I would never leave you." James cried with Joy onto Jesse’s shoulder.
"No, no, no, no!" Misty stood, she now had a trickle of blood running
from her nose, "You’re ruining my plans!" Misty ran towards James,
grabed his limp arm and swung him with much force.
"Noooo!" Jesse ran towards Misty and head butted her off the cliff, her
hand slipped from James’ arm, throwing him into a branch of a tree.
Misty’s screams echoed through the canyon until she landed with a
sickening splat.  Brock covered his mouth and moaned.  Jesse, breathing
hard, shakily turned toward James, she clasped her hand over her mouth,
James lay in a bloody heap on the soft grass.  She slowly stepped toward
him, Ash, Meowth, and Brock watching her every move.  She kneeled on the
ground next to her love and picked up his limp body.
"Why’d it have to end like this?" A choked sob escaped James’ mouth.
"It doesn’t have to, please hold on."
"It’s my time Jesse."
"No, I won’t let you leave me."
"I’ll never leave you."
"I love you James."
"I love you Jesse," With his final words James fell lifeless into
Jesse’s arms.  Her lip quivered and Jesse broke into tears, her head
tilted down toward the body of her only love.
‘I’ll never leave you," the wind carried James’ final words threw the
air, until they blew away, forever.

Prolouge

Jesse later learned James hit the branch head on.  She never loved
another person and died at 21, 4 short years after the incident from a
car accident when a drunk driver collied into the front of her car,
killing her almost instantly.
Meowth returned to Giovani and was never heard of by anyone again.
Ash returned to pallet, he later married a beautiful woman named Flora,
and had 2 wonderful boys, they never became Pokemon trainers. Ash died
from cartiac arrest at the age of 53.
Brock became a world famous pokemon breeder and married Erika.
Together they had 3 children.  Brock published the tale of "James’
Revenge" for all to know, shortly after being told of Ash Katchum’s
death.  Brock died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of 103, living
a full and prosperous life.
Misty was only remembered by her closest family and friends, most of
the people who read "James’ Revenge" believed her to be a fictional
character.

James, however, was remembered forever, Brock, upon Jesse’s, as well as
Ash’s wishes, had a monument constructed in honor of his life, it still
stands today.  James’ plans of going to college, and marrying Jesse were
ruined by one small girl, but no one remembers exactly who she was.

I guess James got his revenge after all.

THE END
