Vol. 2 Chapter 53: Boy-Girl-Boy

James frowned at this, and then grabbed one of his Poke balls, summoning his Wheezing. He then gave it a hug, even though he had to scrunch up his face, but when he let go of his Pokémon, he turned to jessie with a serious look.

"I don't consider Wheezing as my servant, and I am sure that you feel the same way about your Arbok. Why do you think that he is that much different than us?" James asked, returning Wheezing to its ball.

"He is that much different. We are the villains, and we are the ones who are supposed to do the catching. If we get caught by him, then we will become a servant," Jessie repeated, and James frowned.

"You mean that is the same thing you call your Arbok and Wobbuffet then?" James asked, and Jessie glared back at him, raising her fist.

"It's not the same! I love them both, and they are my friends!" Jessie spat back, and James rolled his eyes.

"Sure, but they aren't human, and they can't think the same way you do. Maybe he has the ability to let us understand them better or make our Pokémon smarter?" James suggested, and Jessie scoffed.

"Oh, so you are willing to give your whole life to some guy who is a complete stranger, and you are saying I am the crazy one? Do you have a screw loose, or are none of them tightened? Did you forget who we are? We are Team Rocket! We are the bad guys, so why would you think he will help us? The boss is our family, and we can't abandon him. We are supposed to be villains. We are supposed to be evil, so stop talking about a happy ending that can't happen," Jessie demanded, and the three of them had stopped walking, and the two were glaring at each other.

Meowth jumped between the two of them. "Hey, I thought we were a team? So why are we fighting, and about some guy we just met? Don't tell me you are falling for his charm? It's his power that interests the boss, so we don't have to fall for the guy. Now calm down and get your head on straight. You two don't even need to get caught, unlike me!"

James took a step back and put a hand to his head. "You are right. We are a team, and I have always been the one wearing dresses, but that is because I don't care what the boss thinks of me. If he finds me useful, then fine, but I don't need his approval, and I won't throw away what I believe just for a boss that thinks nothing of us!"

Jessie scoffed, but then James turned and ran away. She watched him take off and then shook her head, and looked at Meowth. "Let him run. He can't change the fact that we are Team Rocket, and it's his own fault for becoming a part of it. There is no turning back for any of us, and if he forgets that, then he is going to get hurt again."

"So then you are okay with me getting caught and not being able to be by your side? Yet, you fight to keep around the guy that you use for a personal punchin' bag?" Meowth asked and then pointed at James, who had stopped about 50 feet away. "Are you going to chase him or not? James just wants a better life like all of us, so why are you mad at him?"

"I am not mad at him! I am angry because he is making things difficult! If we can get this Landon to join Team Rocket, then maybe we will actually get a break for once, and I have a chance to have a life! If I could make it easier, then I would, but I can't, and I can't let him go either," Jessie replied, and then she stomped her foot, and Meowth sighed.

"You don't get it do you? He wants a better life just like you do, and maybe this is his chance. It's not fair that you are the one who is holding us back. If the new boss catches him, then James will have the chance to live a life that you want, but he isn't going to just wait around for it. You are his friend, and if you aren't going to support him, then you are the one holding him back, and you are the one causing problems," Meowth said with a shrug, dropping his act for a moment.

"When did you start calling him boss?" Jessie asked with a suspicious glare, and Meowth waved a paw at her.

"Like you said," Meowth said, returning to his normal self. "Once I am caught, then I will think he is the new boss, right?"

"I suppose," Jessie said, but then Meowth put up one toe on his paw.

"But, what if I still am myself? What if the ball doesn't mess my brain all up?" The cat Pokémon asked, making Jessie narrow her eyes at him as James wandered back, even more depressed now that no one had chased after him. "Will you still be against it, or is stealing other people's Pokémon your chosen profession for the rest of your life?"

Jessie's mouth dropped open, but she didn't know what to say, and James was staring at Meowth with his hands on his knees.

"Do you really think he could do that? Would that be possible?" James asked, and Meowth shrugged, putting a paw under his chin.

"Who knows, but we have to go find him first!" Meowth said, and then pointed forward. "Let's go! We might as well look around. Maybe he is like that Psychic Gym Leader, Sabrina? She can use teleport, right? Maybe this guy is the same.

A little over an hour later, Team Rocket had found nothing, and bickered the whole way. "I told you we should just go back!" James complained, and Jessie hit him.

"Stop complaining. It is more likely for him to leave, so we will have a better chance of waiting for him near the entrance of the biome," Jessie replied, and Meowth nodded.

"Jessie has a point, and I don't think we will have to wait much longer!" Meowth said, and pointed off into the distance at what looked like a group of people, but it was actually Landon walking with his five Pokémon.

"See? I told you this was the right way, and why I am the leader of this team," Jessie said, and James just shook his head.

"Whatever, but I think we should follow them and see what is going on," James suggested, and the other two nodded.

The three watched as a few more people showed up, and the group talked to each other. "Hey, don't those two look familiar?" Jessie asked, and looked back at Meowth.

"Yeah, that red haired girl and her boyfriend with brown hair are the two that we battled before. They took most of our weekly mission budget, and now we are going to have to eat cheap food!" James complained as the group made their way over to see what would happen.

"Are we really just going to walk over like this?" Jessie asked, and Meowth nodded.

"No point in hiding, and recording battles is normal, so even boy-girl-boy over here will be fine with his camera. You can says you a fan or something, and that'll get basic permission to film all his battles. Purfect plan, right?" Meowth said, and then dropped down on all four. "Time for this Pokémon to get into character! Meowth, that's right! It's time for me to surrender, without a fight!"
