Misty had just left Ash, for good.  She had confronted him with the fact she loved him and he had just laughed at her. Feeling as though she had wasted a good part of her young life, she had returned to the Cerulean gym. She threw all her Pokeballs, Starmie, Staryu, Horsea, Goldeen, and Psyduck popped out. Seel swam over, happy to see his trainer. "SEEL SEEL!" he barked. Misty smiled, glad to be home. She began to change for a swim with her Pokemon, when the lights dimmed.
"Prepare for trouble"
"Make it double"
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all people within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight"
"MEOWTH that's right!" the ugly cat added.
Misty cringed, suddenly feeling very alone. At times like this she
was glad Ash was around, but he was gone. "So little girl" Jesse said "I see
you dumped that loser squad". Misty nodded stunned. "That's the smartest thing
you've ever done" James added. Meowth nodded. Misty wondered what they were leading to. "Now that your alone, would ya like to join us?" Meowth asked.
Misty fell over, totally shocked. She couldn't join them, she had been against
them for two years. It was a little late to start a friendship. "Well would
ya? Huh huh huh huh huh?" Meowth inquired. Jesse whacked Meowth with a mallet, twice with a fan, and kicked him into the wall, "Curiosity killed the cat!"
she yelled at him. "I would really enjoy your company" said James stepping
slightly closer to Misty. "What do you mean You would-" Misty was cut off as
James leaned forward and kissed her. "Would you like to join Team Rocket?" he
asked again. Misty was stunned "Well, I um, I mean, Ash wouldn't like it if,
you guys are evil, and I'm not, it wouldn't be, oh ok Ill join you". James
picked her up and headed for the door. Three figures stood in the door,
frowning. "Misty that is SO not cool" Misty's sisters said. Misty stepped forward,
pulled a mallet our of midair and whacked them all with it. She grabbed James'
hand and walked out the door, in a new Team Rocket uniform. Jesse frowned,
very disapproving of James' taste in women. Meowth looked up at her "Are you
jealous?" he asked. Jesse kicked him into the pool and ran off to catch up to
James and Misty.
Back at the Team Rocket camp site, everyone had just finished their dinner. James was cleaning up the plates and silverware as Jessie stood off to the side watching him suspiciously. When James finally noticed her staring at him, he looked at her inquisitively. "So James, what the hell are you doing?" James being as clueless as always, "Um, cleaning up?" "No, I mean with Misty. What was that all about?" she said slyly. Not making the connection, "Oh, I thought she needed some convincing. It worked, didn't it?" Jessie smiling and shacking her head, "Yes, it did" James, continuing to clean up and not paying much attention to what he's saying, "Besides you know your the only one I'm in love with-" James froze, dirty plate in hand, realizing what he had just let slip out. All he could do was look at Jessie to see her reaction. He couldn't really make anything out, she just started walked toward him. Fearing for a blow to the head, he braced himself for impact, but she grabbed him and kissed him square on his wonderful mouth. Jessie managed to break away, and whispered to the purple hair cutie, "I love you too" James felt his excitement build inside of him to a volume so high he thought he might combust. But wanting be suave, James walked around behind Jessie and whispered into her ear, "Meet me in the clearing at midnight." "Ok," Jessie smiled. With that he kissed her neck sweetly, and ran off, clicking his heels as left.
At midnight on the dot, Jessie walked into the clearing. But she didn't see James. After waiting a couple minutes, she knew just how to make him appear. "Prepare for trouble!" she announced invitingly. James presently popped out form behind a tree and walked towards her, "Make it double!" "To protect the world from devastation," Jessie fake fainted back into his arms. "To unite all peoples within our nation," James said as he dipped her down and slowly brought her back up and kissed her softly. "To denounce the evils of truth and love," she stated as she looked up at him from her lowered position in his muscular arms, while crossing her fingers to show she did not agree with the line. James took the two fingers his hands and kissed them sweetly, "To extend our reach to the stars above." He pulled her up to her normal upright position, putting them face to face. She ran her hands along the sides of his face and ran them through his flexion purple hair, "Jessie" Leaning his head forward so he could be closer to her, "James" "Team Rocket," presently to Jessie's surprise, James grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up, "blasts off at the speed of light!" James began walking, Jessie in arms towards some bedding covered with rose petals. He began to set her down, "Surrender now," setting her down, "Or prepare to fight." Jessie smiled as she lay there on her back on the make shift bed. She picked up a few of the petals and smelled them as James lay down next to her. Giving a little laugh, "I swear, you and your roses!" Jessie sweetly commented. "Well, they are the flower of romance and love!" James smiled at her and she smiled back. "So what are we going to do?" she asked him. "About what?" James asked propping himself up on his side so he could look at her. "Well, the most immediate thing, Meowth." "Meowth?" James questioned, then jokingly serious, "Let him get his own woman!" Jessie starting to laugh, "No I'm serious!" James continued his straight act, "When are you not?" Laughing, "Stop it!" James did and waited for her to catch her breath. "I mean, do we act like we always did?" "Like you hitting me and Meowth all the time?" James remembered. "Well, I'm always going to hit Meowth!" Jessie smiled. James lay back on his back and sighed, after a couple seconds, "I think," sitting up again, "that we should do whatever we feel like and if the fluffball happens to figure it out. Well, hooray for him." "Sounds good!" she agreed. With that resolved, Jessie lay down on the bed. "My turn!" James exclaimed. "What?" she smiled up at him. "Well," he said as he leaned over her, "in our motto. When you say 'to denounce the evils of truth and love'. Are we going to change that?" "I've been thinking about that and I just don't know!" she said as she held up a hand, "On the one hand, it our motto and everyone knows us by it. But I don't want to denounce our truth and love." James thinking, "Hmmm, it is a tough one." "I could cross my fingers every time we say it!" she smiled to him. Cocking his head to the side, "Good enough for me." "Your better than anything I could ever have." "Come here," James said as he pulled her close and kissed her.
