A/N: Hey all! The name’s ~Ashla~ and this is my first fan flick so forgive me if it sucks. Ohh, and if someone has a story like this one done already, note that I didn't copy it! I made this up by myself *Feels proud* Ahem, anyways, enough ranting. Enjoy the flick!

‘Thoughts are like this’

Ages: Jessie: 21, James: 21

"Jessie hurry! They're catching up to us!" James cried out to his red headed comrade who trailed behind him.

Meowth was running on all fours ahead of them both. "Yeah, would yous two hurry it up" He called back to them before turning tail and running as fast as his legs could carry him.

"I'm running as fast as I can! Do you have any idea how hard it is to run in these boots!" Jessie yelled back at James. She glanced back over her shoulder and wished she hadn't. The Team Rocket grunts were riding upon Ponyta and Rapidash and closing in fast. 'They are going to catch us for sure, we're doomed' She forced her tears back.

James noticed the expression on her face and kicked himself inwardly 'I should have never brought her into this! She wouldn't be in the predicament if I wasn't so stupid!'

~ FLASHBACK ~

'Please don't fire us, please don't fire us' Jessie, James and Meowth repeated over and over in their minds as they nervously sat outside Giovanni's office.

They had been on the trail of Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu - A.K.A. The Twerps - when they'd received an urgent call from the boss’s office. A Charizard and a Dragonite had been sent out to pick them up and to bring them back to Team Rocket's HQ in Johto. They were only briefed on their arrival. 'Very urgent job needing to be done' was all they were told.

They were seated and Jessie looked over at her two friends who she held dearest in the whole world, even though she hardly ever showed it. 'This team needs a tough guy and I guess it's me' was how she thought of it. Meowth sat there filing his claws and James was reading a comic book. Jessie shook her head at how immature James was, but that's what she liked about him.

The sectary stood up from behind her desk. She was a tall and very beautiful young brunette. "The boss will see you now" The trio stood up and took a deep breath before walking through the oak door into Giovanni's office. He sat there, hands clasped together in front of him.

"There you are. I'm calling all my agents in as I have a plan to be carried out" His deep voice spoke with no emotion. James shivered. "As you know, I have been gathering powerful pokémon for years now and I finally have enough..."

"Enough for what Sir?" Meowth asked, glaring at the Persian that lay at Giovanni's side.

"To start a Pokémon War!"

All three were shocked at this response. They had always known that the boss wanted the world, but they didn't think by war. "Sir, do you really think a war is necessary?" James' voice was shaking slightly. Jessie felt the same way, as did Meowth.

"Yes, a war is the fastest way to get what I want. And with all these powerful pokémon following my every command, it shouldn't be too hard. That's where you come in. You will be given brand new pokémon to battle with and your other pokémon will be taken for training"

James and Jessie exchanged glances and placed a hand on their pokéballs.

"And there will be no exceptions. Your loss of battles is the cause of your pokémon being weaklings" Giovanni's tone of voice didn't change as he stared harshly at them.

James was first to respond. He stepped forward "Sir, our pokémon need no training and we're not giving them up to anyone, not even you" He clenched his hands in fists.

Jessie was a little shocked and so was Meowth. James wasn't known to be able to speak to the boss without getting nervous and shaky. Giovanni shut his eyes. "Well then, I guess if you won't follow the rules, we'll have to expose of you as we don't want any of this leaking out"

~ END FLASHBACK ~

'This is all my fault' James scolded himself as they ran. Behind him, Jessie's foot got caught in an uprooted rock and she fell. James skidded to a stop and ran back to her. "Jessie, are you alright?"

She looked up into his deep emerald eyes and saw the worry and concern. It couldn't help but make her feel warm inside. "I'm ok, I think" She pulled herself up and gasped when she stood on her right leg. "I think I twisted my ankle"

James placed a muscular arm behind her back and the other behind her thigh. He lifted her up with ease. All their time spent building contraptions to capture Pikachu had build up his muscles, as he was the one that did the most work. "Don't worry Jessica, I'll get you out of this" He ran as fast as he could but it wasn't easy while carrying someone.

Jessie wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt Butterfree flutter in her stomach but they soon vanished when a loud crashing noise was heard behind them. She turned her head in the direction to see an Onix crash through the trees. They had entered a forest, hoping to loose the grunts in the dense woodland, but with no such luck. She heard James curse angrily and looked at him. "What's wrong?"

James stopped running and looked up. They had run into a dead end. Grunts and their pokémon behind them, and a cliff in front. James set Jessie down and she leaned on him for a little support.

"What will we do now James?" Jessie clenched some of his white top, which was now covered in mud. She looked up at his handsome face that now held some cuts from braches hitting him as they ran.

He looked down and couldn't help but admire her beauty. Her sapphire eyes shone in the moonlight and her long red hair hung around her face. "I don't know" His heart had sunk and he lowered his head, eyes closed.

Jessie rested her head on his shoulder. "We'll get out of this somehow"

James opened his eyes and nodded. "Meowth seems to already have gotten out of it" What he said was true. Meowth was nowhere in sight. There was the sound of trees falling and the two were suddenly faced with five grunts and an Onix towering above them.

"Give it up, there's no way you can get away" The first grunt stated with a smug grin on his face.

James stood his ground. "We're not going without a fight" He pulled out a pokéball and was about to toss it when the ground started to rumble beneath his feet. "What's going on?!" He cried in alarm.

"It's that Onix, it's started an Earthquake attack!" Jessie fell over on her butt, her face covered in fear.

"Onix, tackle that fool!" The grunt pointed to James. The Onix complied and dove at him.

"JAMES!" Jessie screamed as the Onix crashed into him, sending his body flying through the air. He hit the cliff and fell into a crumpled heap. She no longer could hold it in and tears streamed down Jessie's face as she stared at James' still body. She crawled over to him and rolled him onto his back, placing his head on her lap. She ran her fingers through his soft hair, which was mud and blood caked. "Please don't leave me..." She sobbed and held him close.

"Your turn missy" The Onix was now slithering it's stony self towards her.

She shut her eyes tight. "I'm sorry James..."

The Onix lifted its tail and was about to drop it upon her when...

"WATER GUN ATTACK!"

The Onix roared in pain as a large jet of water came from nowhere and slammed into it, knocking it out. It fell and hit the ground with a ground shaking thump. Jessie opened her eyes and looked towards where the attack had come from.

"Who's there?" The grunt turned his Rapidash in that direction. His face was red with fury. "Come out of those shadows and face us!"

As the figure stepped out from the shadows, Jessie gasped. "You have got to be kidding!"
