Meowth in the Middle Jesse-"You know. I'm getting pretty tired. Why don't we rest". James-"But Jesse, what if the twerps come by? What do we do then?" Jesse-*** Narrowing her eyes*** "We try and catch their pikachu you bonehead!" James-"IF ANYONE'S A BONEHEAD IT'S YOU!!" Meowth-"Pipe down both of you and stop your squabbling!!" ***They stop fighting only because they here voices*** Jesse-"Those voices sound awfully familiar". Meowth-"Look! It's them!" ***Jesse and James both look up. They both see them, grab Meowth, and hide behind a tree*** Ash-"I know we're almost there." Misty-"Ash, you said that an hour ago! You've got us lost again!" Ash-"Have not!" ***Brock butts in*** Brock-"Ash, Misty’s right". Ash-"Oh yea? How do you know?" Brock-"Because that's the same tree we passed half an hour ago!" Misty-"WHAT?! YOU MEAN THAT ASH HAS BEEN MAKING US GO AROUND IN CIRCLES?!" ***They stop fighting when a net comes out of nowhere and grabs Pikachu*** Pikachu-"Pika pi! Piikkaa!" Ash-"Pikachu! Whose out there?" ***Team Rocket stands up from behind the bushes. They say there motto*** Ash-"Not you again!" Jesse-"Yes it's us! We finally got your pikachu!" ***Ash yells at Jesse with a few cuss words*** Jesse-***Gets mad*** "Why you little twerp! How dare you speak to me like that!! As far as I'm concerned, you can have your precious pikachu back you little brat!" ***She puts down Pikachu's net and storms away. James and Meowth follow her*** Jesse-" That brat! Didn't he learn any manners? He isn't supposed to talk to a lady like that no matter what they do!" James-"I agree Jesse. But why didn't you take pikachu along with you? Don't you think that would have taught him a better lesson?" Jesse-" I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD ME BACK THERE! I DON'T WANT A SINGLE THING FROM HIM! I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THE OTHER KIDS HE'S TRAVELING WITH CAN PUT UP WITH THAT BRAT!!" Meowth-" Jesse has a point. I don't understand it either". James-" Jesse, I think you should lay down for a bit". Jesse-" I suppose you're right. Thanks for comforting me". ***She gets up and walks over to her sleeping bag*** James-" That was a really rotten thing he did to her". Meowth-" I agree. But how will we get something to cheer her up?" ***They hear rustling in the bushes. They look and see Pikachu walking toward Jesse. She opens her eyes*** Jesse-"What do you want?" ***Pikachu moves his hand from his back and gives Jesse some flowers. Then he runs through the bushes and out of sight*** Jesse-"Did you see that?" Meowth-"See what?" Jesse-" What he gave me". James-" Who gave you what?" Jesse-" Pikachu". Meowth-" What has pikachu have to do with anything?" Jesse-"After everything I've done to that little Pokemon, he cares about me". James-"Jesse, what the heck are you talking about?" ***Meowth looks down and sees the flowers by Jesse*** Meowth-" Who gave you the flowers Jesse?" Jesse-" He did". James-" Who did?" Jesse-"Pikachu". ***Jesse and Meowth's mouths both fall open*** Meowth-" You've got to be kidding!" Jesse-" No. I'm not". ***There is a moment of silence*** Jesse-" This is kind of hard to say. I think I like that Pokemon" James-"What do you mean?" Jesse-" I don't think I can try and steal him anymore". Meowth-" So just what exactly are you trying to say?" Jesse-" I think we should stop chasing after them". ***Jesse and Meowth stare at each other. Finally James says something*** James-" If that's what you want, that's what we'll do". Meowth-" Yes we will do that. ***A few days later*** Jesse-"This just isn't working! I think... I think". James-" What do you think?" ***Jesse looks at both of them*** Jesse-"I think we should go our separate ways". Meowth-" What do you mean by that?" Jesse-" I think we should split up".
