“Meowth, wake up!” “What?”, I asked Meowsie. “Clair and Gary want to talk to you.” “I wanna sleep…” “Fine. If you don’t want the gift…” “GIFT!” I quickly stood up and walked over to near the door where Gary, Clair and Ken where. Even though I’m not part of Team Rocket, I’m still like money! “Meowth, look what Clair and Gary gave us! It’s a beautiful necklace.”, Whitney said. “Uh, thanks, guys, but I don’t like necklaces…”, I told Gary and Clair. “Not for you, dummy! For Kala, of course!” My daughter looked delighted. She smiled to Gary and Clair, then she meowed. “She thanked you.”, I translated. “You’re welcome.”, Gary replied. “Thanks again for everything, Whitney.” “It was my pleasure!”, Whitney answered. “By the way, Whitney, I must tell you I admire your generosity.”, Clair added. “You are offering a place in your house for Meowth’s friends, Jessie and James.” “I know. Generous is the word that describes me best.” A bit later, the three of them left the gym. They all waved and said goodbye. As soon as they were out of sight, Whitney looked at Jessie and James severely. “OK, Jessie and James… I WILL pay your food, until you both find a job THAT HAS NO LINK WITH STEALING OR ANY HARM TO POKEMON OR HUMANS!” “Of course! We won’t steal anymore…”, Jessie replied. “I’M NOT FINISHED! There are rules in this gym that need to be respected. 1-Be always nice and polite to your master, me. 2-Be always nice and polite to your master’s friends.” “Rules… I don’t like this…”, whispered James. “LET ME FINISH! 3-Eat what’s in your plate. Not more, not less. 4-Do not bring objects from the outside unless your master wants them to be in the gym. 5-Do not disturb your master’s challengers and do NOT battle them. Only I and some other trainers may. 6-Never touch, unless I give you the permission, to things that are mine. They include my gym, my badges and Morty!” “Well, what if we touch the floor?”, James asked stupidly. “Let her finish.”, Jessie whispered. “7-I make the cooking! I don’t want to eat Snow Rolls!” “BUT MY SNOW ROLLS ARE DELICIOUS!”, Jessie yelled. “LET ME FINISH! 8-I don’t lend money. 9-Ask the permission when you go out.” “I think that last one is too exaggerated.”, said Morty “I SAID I WANT NO INTERRUPTION!” She continued for hours… “I think they got it, Whitney!”, I said. The days passed. Jessie and James always respected the rules. Kala grew. The love relationship with Meowsie and I got better and better. This life was a lot better than when I was stealing. But one day… “MEOWTH, MEOWTH!” “What’s going on?”, I aksed Meowsie. “Kala has disappeared!” “Not again!” “What?”, Whitney asked, seeing me, panicking. “Kala is gone!” “We have to find her.”, decided Jessie. “Huh… My beloved and nice master Whitney who is the most beautiful girl in the world…” “Yes. That’s me.”, she answered. “Can James and I go outside to look for Kala?” “Hmmm…. Yes.” “Ok… Goodbye!” They went outside with Meowsie and I. “I’m tired of telling lies! She’s not the most beautiful girl in the world! I am!”, Jessie shouted. “Not so sure about that…”, James replied. “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” “Of course, she’s you not! Everybody knows YOU are the most beautiful…” “Betcha he’ll get tired of telling lies too!”, I whispered to Meowsie. “Meeow!”, she laughed. “Hey! Kala’s necklace! Thank you, Gary and Clair!” “Good, Meowsie!”, James told her. “With that, we can find your daughter. Growly, I choose you!” “Arrrrrcaaa!” “Growly, smell that necklace and try to find Kala!” “Niiiiine!” “Meowsie, please wear the necklace until we find her”, I said, “Ok. It’s such a beautiful necklace…”, she answered. Growly ran in a direction and we followed him. Jessie sent out Granbull as well. “They run so fast!, Jessie exclaimed. “Can you slow down please?” Growly acted as he didn’t hear anything. Granbull followed him. “The sooner we get to Kala, the better!”, I said. “Grrrrraaaan!”, Granbull agreed. We entered Ilex Forest! “Oh, no… I don’t want to meet a Celebi again…”, Meowsie worried. “I don’t wanna go in there!”, James screamed. “It’s full of scary pokemon! Like… Caterpie!” “James, stop acting like the twerp girl and go in there!”, Jessie replied. Then, she pushed him and we all looked at the dog couple. They were barking towards two pokemon. We went closer to see who it was. Meowsie instantly recognised the two Pokemon. “It’s Kala and…” She paused. “Who?”, I asked. “Not that Sneasel?” “Worse…” “Celebi?” The pokemon came closer. It was Persian! It talked to me, in pokemon language of course. “Hey! Isn’t it my old friend Meowth?” “You traitor!”, Meowsie growled angrily. “Kala, that Persian abandoned me! He left me alone in the dark, big streets! I had nothing to eat and nowhere to live! I ate almost nothing for months, until Whitney found me.” “You’ll pay!” I told my enemy. “Leave my daughter alone!” “Dad! Don’t harm him!”, Kala said. I used scratch on him. “I don’t want to fight!”, the coward feline said. “You won’t have to, because you’ll faint!”, Meowsie added. She used Hyper beam and Persian ran away. “Mom! Dad! Why do hurt my friend?” “This is not a friend for you!”, my girlfriend explained. “He’s so mean!” “But I love him!” “What!”, I exclaimed. “He’s too old for you!”, my beloved Meowsie added. “He didn’t want to fight!”, Kala argued. “He has changed!” “We’ll talk later, now, come home!”, I shouted. “I won’t!” “It looks like she won’t go home.”, Jessie realised. “I’ll get Whitney! She’ll know how to convince Kala!” “Good idea.”, James said. Jessie ran away with Meowsie following her. “How could you love him?”, I wondered. “You barely know him!” “That’s love at first sight, dad.” “Love at first sight?” “MISSINGNO!”, James screamed. “What, James?”, the author asked. “Do you really have to mention love at first sight in every of your fics?” “It’s just the second time I mention it, James! You really should know how to count!” “Anyway, where were we? Ah, yes, Meowth, continue what you started to say…” “Kala, come home, we’ll talk about this later!” “There is nothing to talk about! I’m just in love! That’s it!”, Kala replied. “That’s not a reason to go away from house without telling anybody!” “Why don’t you understand me? You’re in love too!” “Yes, but with someone nice!” “Is calling someone “monster” nice?” “That was before! She changed!” “So did Persian!” At that moment, Jessie, Meowsie and Whintey arrived. “Kala, please come home!”, Whitney pleaded. She didn’t budge. “Jessie and I had an idea.”, Whitney said. “We’ll invite your friend home for a little party and we’ll see if he really has changed.” “Inviting him!”, I yelled. “I didn’t agree with them either, Meowth!”, my love told me. “I wish I could speak their language and tell them!” “Meowsie doesn’t want him to come either.”, I told Whitney. “Meowth, get to know him and see.”, Jessie said. “This makes me thinks of a movie…”, I replied. “MISSINGNO!” “What, Jessie?” “Do you really have to mention this movie in every of your fics?” “It’s just the second time I mention it, Jessie! You really should know how to count too!” “Go away and play with your Lion King figurines!” “I don’t have Lion King figurines! Furthermore, if I go away, there will be no fic!” “Anyway, where were we? Ah, yes, Meowth, continue what you started to say…” “I guess we’ll have to try… He may have changed…” “Hurray!”, Whitney exclaimed. “I’ll invite only a few people!” “Whitney, please REALLY invite a few people! I hate when there’s a too big number of people around!” “Ok, I’ll only invite Morty and Auntie…” “Phew…” “And Chuck, and Melany, and Clair, and Gary, and Ken of course, and Audrey, and Falkner, and Clarita, and…” I fainted! --------Later-------- “Dad!” “I want to sleep!” “Dad, the party started!” “What? Oh, no! The few people arrived!” “Hey, Meowth!”, Karen greeted. Then, she petted me. I purred. “Dad, you have to meet Persian!”, Kala said. “I already know him!” “So what? Come on.” “Bye, Karen!” “Bye!”, she answered with her charming voice. I followed my daughter. Meowsie was following too. Persian was there, like he was waiting for us. “Mom, Dad, this is Persian. Persian, this is Mom, Meowsie, and Dad, Meowth.” “Hi, Meowth, it’s nice to see you!”, he said, pretending to be nice. “Hi…”, I answered. “It is nice to meet you, Meowsie!” “Don’t act like you don’t know me!” “But I don’t!” “Argh!” She left. I did too. “Darn…”, Persian and Kala whispered simultaneously. We went towards Clarita, one of my best friends in there. “Hi, Meowth!”, she greeted. “Hi! How are ya?” “Good and what about you?” “Bad…” “What happened?” “Meowsie and I just can’t stand Persian…” Auntie, I mean Jasmine ^^ , came to join the conversation. “How can you? He’s adorable!” “If only you would have known what he did to Meowsie and I, you would change your mind.”, I replied. “Hey! There he is!” He was with Kala. Jasmine and Clarita pet him. He purred and began to talk to us. “Sorry to interrupt you, but I just want to know something. Meowsie, you seem to hate me. Why?” “Because you abandoned me, you idiot!” “How could I? I don’t even know you!” “Stop that!” “What?” “Leave this place!”, I shouted. “Meowth…”, Jasmine whispered. “Persian, I have tried to be nice to you, but I can’t!”, I yelled. “But, why? We were friends before!?” “No!” “Anyway, there is no reason to hate me. We live on the same planet, we breath the same air and we walk under the same sky.” “I said go away!” “If you’re not my friend, why did you save me from the Team Rocket attack?” “What? I was part of the Team Rocket! How can they attack me… and I never saved you!” “Yes, when Giovanni attacked! You saved me from the big red ball!” “What are you talking about?” “When he wanted to catch us, clones!” “What? You’re a… Oh, I get it now!” I smiled. “My buddy, it’s really you!” “Who do you thought I was?” “I never would have thought that you would evolve!” “I’m puzzled.”, said Meowsie. “Meowsie, this is not the Persian who abandoned you, this is my friend, the cloned pokemon.”, I exclaimed. “Cloned pokemon?” “My boyfriend is the Meowth in that Mewtwo story you told us, Dad, isn’t it?”, Kala asked. “Yes!” Jasmine and Clarita seemed happy that we were all acting friendly towards each other now. “I’m sorry I didn’t recognized you!”, I said. “I’m sorry for being rude to you.”, Meowsie apologized. “It’s ok!”, Persian replied. “How have you been?” “Good. Mewtwo has release all of us, because he needed rest, after he created his new pokemon.” “Yeah, the famous cloned pokemon.” “What cloned pokemon?”, Meowsie asked. “You haven’t heard? Mewtwo had created new pokemon they include Squinut, Chikfire, Bobolfeen and Lediana.” “I didn’t know Mewtwo created them!” “I, Pikachu, the other cloned pokemon and Mew helped him.”, Persian continued. “It’s so good to see you, pal!” “It’s good to see you too.” “I’m so glad that you both like my boyfriend!”, Kala exclaimed after licking Persian. They both purred. Whitney came and saw all four of us. She noticed that we all were happy. “So, you’re friends now?” I smiled. “Yes!” “Good! Let’s continue the party! By the way, Persian, you can stay here if you want!” “Peeeeeer!” He nodded. “Yah, welcome in the family!” I am so happy that my daughter has found a boyfriend. I’m ever happier that this boyfriend is a friend of mine!
