James started to travel back towards his family’s mansion home. Although it wasn’t very easy for him. He still had the Team Rocket uniform on which made everyone he came into contact with would be freaked out and call out for help. So James had to sneak around to make sure he didn’t get seen much. It wasn’t all bad though. A lot of times, he would have his Pokemon out so he could enjoy their company. It had been a long time since he last saw them and it was fantastic traveling with them in some shape or form. It took a week and a half but he had finally made it to his family mansions home.
James: Alright. I’ll have to sneak in and get rid of this uniform and put on some of my regular clothes.
James snuck through the garden and went to the back of the mansion. He was trying to find the window to his old room. He was able to spot it. Now all he had to do was somehow scale the wall and open the window to sneak inside the room. Luckily, there was a fence like wall structured there that went all the way to the top. James started to scale it up to the top. A couple of times, he almost fell off but luckily he was able to reach the window. He carefully opened it up and looked around. The door was closed and no 1 was in his room. He stepped into his room as quietly as he could and started to go through his closet. He started to search for a different pair of clothes he could wear. At last, he finally found an outfit. He took off his Team Rocket uniform and put on the outfit he found. When he got it on, he got in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
James: My my.~ I DO still look good.~
James liked the way he looked. He had on some gray shoes, black dress pants and a blackish gray buttoned shirt with a white 1 underneath that. He also had a blue jacket on him and wore a green tie. James looked at his pocket and noticed that the pocket there was empty. He searched around his room and found a fake rose in a vase on his dresser. He took it out and placed it in the pocket.
James: Ahh! Perfect! Roses are definitely my style!
Just then, the door swung open. James swung around towards the door and was standing face to face with his mother and father. They were shocked to see him there but quickly smiled.
James’ Mother: Ahh! James! You’ve returned home!
James’ Father: Excellent! This means you’re ready to settle down now!
James: -screams in fear- No! I’m not ready to settle down!
He ran to the window and without thinking, jumped out of it and fell straight to the ground. He was in pain but thanks to all the blasting off he did with his encounters with Ash, it wasn’t that painful. A hand appeared, offering to help him up. He grabbed it and got up.
James: Ow. Thanks for that. That’s a longer fall than it looks.
???: Why James. Have you returned to marry little ol’ me?
James: Wha- Ohh no!
James looked at the person who had helped him up onto his feet. Unfortunately for him though, it was Jessebelle.
James: No! I am not here to marry anyone! Especially you! -starts running away from Jessebelle-
Jessebelle: Ohh stop playing hard to get James! Hmph! Vileplume! Stop him in his tracks! Stun Spore!
Jessebelle threw her PokeBall up in the air and Vileplume popped out of it. It did as its trainer told it to do and fired a Stun Spore attack onto James. It landed and soon, James crashed to the ground. He sat up and turned around. Fear was in his eyes when he saw Jessebelle running towards him with her arms out getting ready to hug him and possibly kiss him.
Jessebelle: Oh sweet James! It’s time for you to pucker up and kiss your future wife!
James: No no no! I don’t want to marry you! I don’t want this! Help me! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!
???: Growllllllithe!
A Pokemon jumped over James and landed in front of him. The sight if this Pokemon caused Jessebelle to stop and scream.
Jessebelle: Ahh! Get that beast away from me! Go on! Git!
James: Huh? Wait. Is it… It is! Growlie!
Growlithe: Growlithe!
Jessebelle: James, tell that mutt of yours to get out of here!
James: Never! Growlie! Flamethrower on her and her Vileplume!
Growlie did as James told it to do and used Flamethrower on Jessebelle and Vileplume. The flames messed up her hair and the dress she was wearing and knocked out the Vileplume. Jessebelle returned her Pokemon back to her PokeBall and ran away crying about how that darn dog ruined her day. Growlie turned around and started to lick James all over the face.
James: -chuckles- I’ve missed you too Growlie. I think I can move. Come on Growlie. Let’s go to your Doggy Mansion and hide out there for a bit.
Growlithe: Growl Growlithe!
James got up and the 2 friends went over to Growlie’s Doggy Mansion. James sat down on the couch. Growlie jumoed up and nuzzled him. James pat him on the head.
James: Ohh Growlie! I’ve missed you so much boy!
Growlithe: Growlithe!
James: And hopefully, we’ll be able to see each other even more. I’ve quit Team Rocket.
Growlithe: Growl!? Growlithe lithe! -starts licking James-
James: -laughs- That tickles Growlie. I take it you’re happy about that news.
Growlithe: Growlithe!
James: Ohh yea. You should meet some of my friends. Come on out everyone!
James threw all of his PokeBalls up into the air and out popped all of his Pokemon. Growlie jumped off of the couch down onto the floor. The Pokemon went up close to Growlie and checked it out. Then they all smiled and welcomed Growlie into the pack. This made James happy. His little family was growing. Then he remembered Growlithe’s PokeBall and went to find it. It took a while but he eventually found it. He went up to Growlie and bent down to his level.
James: Well Growlie, I don’t think I’m gonna be sticking around here for much longer. So… do you wanna come with me?
Growlie’s eyes lit up and he tackled James down to the ground and licked his face. After that, he stopped and looked at James, shaking his head yes. But before anything else happened, the door to Growlie’s Doggy Mansion opened up and there stood James’ Mother and Father and Jessebelle! James got ready for a battle of sorts as did his Pokemon.
James’ Father: Son. It’s time for you to become a responsible young man and be married.
James’ Mother: Yes James. You must become a husband now. It’s the only way to-
James: No! I don’t want to be married to anyone! At least not yet!
Jessebelle: Future husband of mine! We will be married and when we do, the 1st thing we will do is get rid of that mutt… and all of those trashy Pokemon. They don’t fit our royal standards.
James was starting to get furious. For years, his parents didn’t really care about how he felt or what he wanted to do in life. They were just trying to control him and make him do the most proper things because they were rich. And they even tied to have an arranged marriage with a girl who looked almost identical to Jessie and she was still worse than her. And the fact that she had the nerve to say such things to not just his Pokemon, but the Pokemon he called family such things infuriated him. He couldn’t keep it together anymore.
James: ALRIGHT! THAT IS IT! Mother! Father! I have no enjoyed living here since I’ve been little! Everything you forced upon me was not fun! It was quite horrible! The only time I ever had fun here was whenever I was here playing with Growlie! But that’s not even the worst of it! You tried to have an arranged marriage for me! With a freak of a woman like her of all people too! She’s infuriating and annoying and not lovable!
Jessebelle: James, what you’re saying is hurtful. Apologize at once and I may forgive you easily.
James: No! I don’t want to forgive you! What I’m saying now is what I’ve always wanted to say to you 3! You’re not the easiest of people to get along with! I came here to get a change of clothes and now that I have done that, I plan on leaving!
James’ Father: But Son, what are you going to do then?
James: I don’t know but anything is better than staying here. Now please don’t try to stop me or you won’t like what I do next.
James’ Mother: James please. You are acting ridiculous. Now let’s get inside and we’ll talk about your future marriage plans with-
James: No! Ugh! Come on everyone follow me!
James and the rest of his Pokemon ran out with him. His mother, father and Jessebelle came running behind them as fast as they could. James and his Pokemon stopped in front of the mansion.
James: Alright! You’ve all had it coming for a while now!
James’ Mother: What are you doing?
James: I’m going to destroy the mansion!
James’ Father: What?! Son think about it! Think of all the things you’d destroy!
James: I don’t care! You’ve all been pushing me and pushing me to the edge! I swear if any of you mention anything about marriage again, the mansion will be destroyed
Jessebelle: James. Hunny. Please calm down. This is no way to act in front of your future wife.
James: That’s it!
James’ Father: Sorry son but we’re gonna have to stop you!
James: Mime Jr.! Use Teeter Dance on my father, mother and Jessebelle!
Mime Jr.: Mime Mime!~
Mime Jr. Did as it was told and started to use its attack. The move started to make his parents and Jessebelle start dancing.
James’ Mother: Wh-What’s going on?!
Jessebelle: I can’t-I can’t stop doing this stupid dance!
James: Growlie, Flamethrower! Amoonguss, Hidden Power! Yamask, Shadow Ball! Inkay, Psybeam! Carnivine, Bullet Seed! Mareanie, Sludge Bomb!
The Pokemon did as they were told and fired their attacks. All of their attacks went towards the mansion. James had Mime Jr. stop using Teeter Dance which had the 3 stop dancing but they couldn’t do anything as the attacks hit.
James’ Mother: No… No!
Jessebelle: What have you done James?… What have you done?!
James’ Father: You… You’ve destroyed the mansion son… You will never be forgiven for this!
James: I’ve done what now?
James’ Father: You’ve destroyed the… Wha… What? How is that possible?
As the smoke cleared, everyone could see that the mansion wasn’t touched. Not 1 bit of it was damaged. But they were confused. How did those attacks not put a mark on the mansion?
James: I had the attacks collide with each other. Did you really think I would destroy your mansion? You all drive me crazy but I would never destroy anything of yours.
James’ Father: I’m… I’m not sure what to say son.
James: Let me do what I wanna do with my life.
Jessebelle: Psh. We will be married my sweet James and-
James’ Mother: You’re right James.
Jessebelle: Huh?!
James’ Mother: You got do what you want to do with your life.
James’ Father: Yes. Go do what you want. I think we need to change as well. Right dear?
James’ Mother: Yes hun.
Jessebelle: B-But what about the marriage and… and…
James and his parents hugged each other. For the 1st time in his life, he felt like his mother and father were loving him the right way. They wanted to see him be happy and have him do whatever he wanted to do. James’ Father reached into his coat pocket and handed James something.
James: Huh? A PokeBall?
James’ Father: Yes. This is Growlie’s PokeBall. You left it on the floor of its mansion when you ran out here.
James: Ohh right! Thanks dad.
James’ Father: No problem son. Where will you go now?
James: Hmm… I think I’m gonna go see Nanny and Pop-Pop and stay there for a while.
James’ Mother: Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully, we’ll see you soon.
James: Yea. I’d like that too. Alright gang. Time to return to your PokeBalls!
James returned his Pokemon back to their PokeBalls and gave his parents 1 more hug before going off to his Nanny and Pop-Pop’s house. James could hear Jessebelle crying over not being able to marry him but he was just happy to have her out of his life now.
