Ditched.

 

Prologue:

"Ditched."

Basically what if Jessie had enough of James's stupidity and ditches him?  I hope I can capture their personality but who the hec knows. We know it would never happen, but ya know how Jessie's temper freakin' goes crazy sometimes.

Features Jessie, James and Meowth. Usual disclaimers apply. Just trying my hand at fanfict. If it sucks, it sucks.. if it doesn't hey that's not bad eh? I've never done this, I love reading these things so lemme give it a spin. Review it if you like; tell me how crappy it is even. That's fine. Might get a little shippy, nothing major though. Sorry if there's typos, Im still trying to get used to my new laptop's keyboard, it's a little different from my old one!

 

They landed real hard this time. Because it was pouring down rain they slipped down a short grassy hill. It was daytime but the weather was so bad it was dark, foggy and wet. And landed in a heap......

Good ol' Team Rocket: Jessie who is the concieted self proclaimed beauty queen, which she is very pretty with her long flaming red hair but also has a temper to go with it; James who is the sweet rich boy who has funky blueish/lavenderish hair and a knack for collecting bottlecaps; Meowth is their unusually intelligent pokemon pal, he's a feline type of critter who speaks human language and translates pokespeech to peoplespeech and vice versa.

 

"Ow! Get offa me you lugs!" Meowth complained. His companions landed on him this time. And they're heavy to a little cat.

"Sorry!" Jess & James said in unison and rolled off him. Jesse sprang right up and with flames in her eyes yelled "This is IT! No more of these damn failures! It's ALL YOUR FAULT James! You and you're stupid ideas! You can never do anything right!" Her word stabbed into him as he stared up at her in disbelief, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. She's never gone off this bad to him. He can take her usual abuse, even hittings but words stab into him.  Meowth just sat there as shocked as James.

"I'm sorry Jess, I tried." Was all he could say. He shrank from her verbal abuse and tried to think of something to say but couldn't.

"Well you try and fail every time, we've been at this for 5 years! I'm sick of this, I'm sick of the twerps and sick of you!"  By now the rain has soaked them all, Jess's hair was flat against her back and they all looked like they went swimming. James just sat there on his knees beginning to feel awful. His lower lip started to tremble and he could feel his eyes were becoming a little moist. "What can I say Jess? I tried! I'm sorry for being a failure! What can I do to make it up?!"

"What can you do?? Stay away from me! I'm leaving! I'm done with this stupid outfit!"  

"But what about the Team??" Meowth finally spoke up.

"The Team can go stuff it! I'm through!" She was pure ferocity and just plain royally pissed off. 

 

"Jessie! Please don't leave me!" James pleaded but she ignored him and stomped off into the dark fog and rain. "No, please don't leave me!"  James, feeling completely helpless just sat there soaked to the bone and just started bawling like a little lost boy.  Meowth finally got up, ignoring the rain which he usually hates,  and came to comfort James. "It's ok Jimmy boy, maybe she's just got some issues to deal wit'. I don't what gotten inta her, but she didn't have to hurt yer feelin's like dat". Meowth climbed into James's lap and hugged him trying to calm his best friend down.  "If it's anyt'in I won't leave you alone James".

Between sobs, James thanked him and added,  "I don't know what to without Jessie....."

End Prologue

 

Ok here we go with the actual first chapter, I don't care if I get Ash & gang perfectly right. I like making Misty a big fat whiner and Ash a smart-ass and I like Brock so he's the smart one for my lame story. :-)

Chapter 1

 

Team Twe..errr...Ash, Misty & Brock were on their way to the next town to, as usual, get another badge for Ash.  Brock knew of a cabin nearby  in the lightly forested pace they were walking through. Every hundred miles or so, there is a cabin or two built for those who are on their Poke'mon journey. It was getting dark, it had been pouring down rain earlier but now it was just cold, damp and they didn't want to be in it.

"It should be just over that hill" Brock said pointing into the near darkness. He spotted a small marker sign next to a tree pointing the way.

"You better be right Brock I'm freezing" Misty whined, wearing her usual skimpy shorts and top. 

"Well you should have bought clothes, you never change that outfit and jeez it's gotta smell by now!" Ash was being a smartass.

"Ash you behave, Misty stop whining, Ash is right!" Brock led them over the small ridge and they carefully walked down towards the little cabin.

 

"Hey d'you smell that"? Ash noticed something burning.

"Yeah, someone's in the cabin already with a fire going! Oh great, now we won't have a nice warm room! This sucks! Why can't we ever stay in a real hotel? " Misty was being a real bitch.

"Misty Shut up!" Ash & Brock said in unison. 

"We'll just go see if there's any room" They followed Brock down to the door, they knocked but didn't get an answer. "Ok, let's see if someone's in there" Brock then opened the door slowly and peeked around the door.

"James!"

"Oh no Team Rocket!"

"Oh great....not now!" said the little whiner.

 

James was sitting cross-legged with his back to the fireplace staring at the floor. Meowth was curled up on one of two single beds by a wall.

James hardly heard someone open the door and talk. He was in a stupor, still in shock over Jesse's ranting and her actually abandoning him.

He looked up a little when he heard Brock say his name. The twerp trio were taken aback by how horrible James looked. His eyes were red, his hair a mess and he looked like he had been through hell. Fortunately when Jessie split they were near the cabin and Meowth got him to get up out of the rain and go to the little one room shack. He sat there for hours without eating anything. It's not that they had food, they didn't. And James didn't get paid til the next day.

 

"James, what happened to you?!" Misty, who's stopped being a little fart, was actually concerned for him. She knelt by him and he looked up at her, paused and he started to cry again. "She left me!" His sobs woke up Meowth.

"Ahh great, just what we need," He was annoyed. "It took me all day to calm him down!" 

"How are we supposed to know?" Brock said. 

"I just wanted to know what happened to him, he looks horrible." 

 

Ash being clueless as always, "Where's Jessie?"

Meowth quietly said, "she's left him. She went off on him, yellin' and making a big fuss.  She blamed him for all of the failures trying to catch your pikachu. I'm hoping to get him out of this mood so I can help him get on his feet and figure out what to do."

 

"That's so sad!" Misty said. "If you like we can help, I hope."

"Why should we help him?" Ash can be such a brat. "All he's ever done to us is try to take my pokemon, be annoying, and keep us from getting on with this adventure!"

"If ya remember Ashie boy, they helped you with Lugia!" Meowth said.

"Oh yeah. Ok. We'll help."

 

James moved over to let the trio share the fire. He seemed to come out of his shell a little bit, at least enough to know what's going on. He definantly heard what Misty said.

"We have to get them back together!" Misty announced. 

James perked up slightly and listened to what she had to say. "How? She hates me." He finally spoke, but in a low quiet tone.

"Maybe we can somehow kidnap her and have James rescue her and she'll realize he's her best friend no matter what. Or something."

"Why don't we get a good night's sleep and figure it out in the morning, I'm beat."

The room only had 2 single beds and they gave one to James and the other to Misty. Ash & Brock settled by the fire.

"Dya think we can pull this off Brock?"

"Well, this will either prove or disprove I know girls. I believe they are meant for each other if you ask me."

"You've got to be kidding! She's always beating him on the head and he's always sucking up to her."

"Ash you have lots to learn, that's not sucking up, that's love. You do anything to make your girl happy and James has done that. When Jessie lost the princess battle I know that James dressed up himself and their pokemon as those dolls."

"How do you know??"

"I watch reruns."

Chapter 2:

Sorry it's been a few days since a new bit. I'm busy driving my bus. And I've suffered a bit of writer block, so if it feels rushed, my brain ain't working. This part is NOT DONE YET. I'm updating as I add parts and bits....

By the way, I've jut posted my own TR site at http://matadogas.tripod.com; not much yet but there's some cute screen captures.

 

 

Chapter 2

 

"Rise & shine, breakfast is almost done!" Brock was first up with breakfast on the fire.  There were a couple low tables set up in the room already full of goodies. Brock somehow is the expert chef with very little to go on.

Everybody got up, including James who's looking a hec of a lot better after a good night's rest, they all sat down on the floor and chowed down.

"So what do we do now?" James asked. Meowth piped up.

"First you are getting' a job.  Then you will leave it up ta' us to figger out how ta' turn Jessie around and get her back to da' team."

"I gotta get a job?! Why!?

"Just in case she is in town and you might see her, it'll put ya' out in da' open, keep you eyes peeled for her."

"Ok" He replied.

"Then we are going to look for her, kidnap her and get him to rescue her, plain & simple." Says Misty. "We'll have a huge Pokemon battle and this time James will win and hopefully that will impress her."  It seemed pretty simple. So it sounded just fine to all of them.

"I think it's really nice of you to help me, after all I did to you guys. I mean I know we caused you alot of hassles. We were just trying to do a job and get paid so we can survive."

"We are helping you because you have helped in the past." Misty replied.

All Ash and Pikachu were doing were stuffing their faces....typical..like owner like monster.

"I still think it's really good of you to help me, I just want to express my appreciation." With one last fork-load of pancake, "I'm stuffed!"

"Sure James, we hope we can get you two back together." Misty was full too.

Now everyone has eaten, Brock finally can get a few bites in and then feed all their Pokemon.

More to come............
