Heart Of Innocence _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything goes. Especially Dreams. Many people wish that life was even better than anyone can imagine. Even Pokemon think of that. Humans and Pokemon cherish special abilities to trust each other and fight back together with all their hearts. But even Pokemon need someone to guide their way up the ladder as much as humans do. Team Rocket, on the other hand, are up to more things right now. Not about trying to capture Ash's Pikachu, but better things right now. It was dark, and cold outside. Meowth was shivering, freezing out in the cold. He was trying to focus on getting warm in front of the hot fire. "I never been dis cold!" he exclaimed, rubbing his paws together. "Calm down, Meowth. I'll stop being cold in the morning." Jessie told her Pokemon friend. "Calm down? I'm freezing my tail off out here and you're just tellin' me t' calm down? You're not even cold!" Jessie sighed. He looked back up into the sky and stared at the base of the moon. "Where's James?" she asked. "How am I supposed t' know?" Meowth said sarcastically. Jessie knew that Meowth was pretty cranky about the cold weather. She finally stood up and went to find James. Meowth was quite concerned of what Jessie had in mind. There might be something haunting her or something. But Meowth went back into trying to get warm. As Jessie walked, she stopped for a minute beside a beautiful lake. She sat on the green grass, gazing at the lake. She wondered what James was doing right now. She thought that he was just going out for a walk or something. While she stared at the lake, she noticed two Horsea swimming together. They were male and female. They were swimming over and under each other, almost like playing leap frog. As the male Horsea went over the female, he jumped out of the water and did a front flip! Sparks of water came out of the lake as he jumped. Jessie thought that the sparks could reach up to the sky. The Horsea jumped back in and continued playing with his friend. Jessie sighed again. "Jessie?" She turned and saw James. She was happy that he was here. "Hi James." she replied. "What are you doing here?" he asked as he sat down beside Jessie. "I'm just thinking." The moon shined on the lake, turning half of it into a turquoise color. A Pidgey flew down and swifted the water with its wings. All the Pokemon were so graceful tonight. "The Pokemon sure do like this night. Where's Meowth?" James asked. "He's back at camp. Trying to keep himself warm." Jessie said as she threw a rock in the lake. "What are you thinking about?" James asked. "About what we've been through." "What do you mean?" "James... of what we've done, do you think it's worth it?" "Is it to you?" "Well, I don't know. Since I've been with you and Meowth, it's always been worth it. But not about stealing and causing damage." "... You're saying that since you been with Meowth and I... you've loved it?" "Yes. I've never been glad to be partners with you two. Especially you." From behind, Meowth spotted the two taking at the edge of the lake. He was still cold, but kept staring at his two human friends. He didn't want neither of them to spot him, so he hid behind a tree. It was like about a half a mile away, but he could hear them just fine. "James... everything that came across us, it felt like we were powerful. Powerful enough to be by each other's side. While we continue to steal Pokemon." "You're not lonely Jess." James said as he took her hand. "We try to come up with good plans to capture Pikachu or other Pokemon that we come across. Our teamwork was what made us go on. Nothing... could ever stop me from loving you." "... Loving me? You mean you... love me?" "Yes. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was just too nervous. I love you Jessie. And I always have." There was a huge silence. But a few seconds, there became something even more beautiful than the confession. Jessie moved to James... until both their lips met. James was shocked. And so was Jessie. They never thought that this moment would actually happen! James quite enjoyed it. So he returned the kiss. Meowth was so shocked. He whispered to himself, "Yes." They both broke the kiss, and stared at each other for a moment. Jessie moved James hair out in front of his eyes. Tears came into both their eyes. Meowth knew that this moment was theirs. So he walked back to camp, trying to get back into getting warm again. Jessie and James smiled at each other. To their care, they both hugged each other like they never hugged each other before. They both found love in their hearts. And they were so happy about it. "I love you." Jessie whispered. "I love you too, Jessie." James replied. Then, the male and female Horsea both jumped into the air as high as they could and touched the water. They were also happy for Jessie and James. Romance, was now part of Jessie and James' lives. THE END
