“I can’t stand it!”, said Rita.
“Me neither!  I can’t work in those conditions!”, Lois added.
“I am too beautiful to be surrounded by such loosers!”
“They’re stupid!” 
“If she is not getting rid of them NOW, I quit!”
“I’ll be quitting too!”
When I heard Beauty Rita and Lass Lois talking, I didn’t understand what they 
meant.  I understood when they went to Whitney’s room… to complain!
“They’re annoying!  That guy thinks he’s intelligent and romantic!  He’s not, I 
am!”, Lois whined.
“That girl thinks she’s cute and beautiful!  She’s not, I am!”, Rita added.
“Who are you talking about?”
At this instant… 
“Master Whitney, we have finished to clean the gym.”, started Jessie.
“Now, we are ready for our next task.”, continued James, before bowing.
“Meowth, that’s right!”, I finished.
Rita and Lois pointed at Jessie and James.
“Them!”, they said simultaneously.
“They want to be part of our fan club!”, said James.
“They have to leave now or I quit!”, shouted Rita, dumbly.
“I can’t make Meowth leave!”, answered Whitney.
“No, not Meowth, them, only them!”, said the stupid Lass.
“I can’t make Jessie and James leave either, they’re Meowth’s friends!”
“We want them out!”, the stupid trainers persisted.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t…”
“Fine! I quit!”, decided Rita.
“No, I need you two to battle with the trainers and you do a great job designing 
the gym!”
“You have to make those two loosers leave to make me stay!”, Lois added.
“What have we done to you?”, Jessie asked grumpily.
“You say your stupid motto each five minutes, you show off all the time, you eat 
a LOT, you’re annoying me with your stupid songs, disguises and speeches!  Plus, 
you’re ugly!”
“I AM NOT UGLY!”, Jessie shouted.
“It’s not the first time I hear people insulting me like that…  I got used to 
it…”, James sighed.
“Can’t ya have a bit off tolerance?”, I asked the two girls.
“Tolerance! THEY’RE UNTOLARABLE!”, Rita responded. 
They both slammed the door when they left.
“No!  What will I do?”, Whitney cried. 
She glared at Jessie and James.
“She’s gonna kill us…”, James whispered.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!  HOPE YOU’RE PROUD OF YOURSELF!  MY ASSISTANTS ARE GONE 
FOREVER AND IT’S BECAUSE OF YOU! GET OUT OF MY ROOM, GET OUT!”
All three of us left…    We looked very discouraged.
“Whitney will never forgive us!  She’ll kick us out!”, Jessie said.
“Better start looking for a job…”, James replied.
“I…  I’m sure Whitney will forgive you!”, I stammered.  “She is a very nice 
person, though sometimes she gets a little angry, it’s normal, I mean…”
“You mean it’s normal to get angry at us!”, Jessie yelled.
“That’s not what I meant!”
“Anyway, we’ll have to leave, Meowth.  I rather get out of here by myself than 
being kicked out!”
“No, don’t go!”
Jessie and James ran towards the door.  I was trying to convince them to stay, 
but they didn’t listen.  Then, we heard a voice behind us.
“Stop right there!”, Whitney ordered.
We all stopped running.
“Jessie, James, I have taken a decision.”
“Now, she’s really gonna kill us!”, James whispered.
“You will…  You will be my assistants until I find someone competent enough to 
do that job.”
“What?  We have a job!”, James exclaimed.
“Yes, but that’s only temporary!”
“Thank you, master Whitney, thank you!”
Jessie and James danced and sang their motto to show their happiness.  Even 
though they were not in Team Rocket anymore, they still loved that song.
“That’s very nice of you, Whitney.” I told her.
She took me in her arms and went away from the dancing Rockets.
“Don’t thank me, it was all aunt Jasmine’s idea.”
“Auntie?  She’s here?”
“No, it’s just that when I have a problem I cannot solve, I call her and she 
helps me!”
“You mean that she solves it for you.”
“No, she’s only helping me!”
“I guess you always wished Jasmine was your mother, didn’t you, Whitney?”
“She’s too young to be my mother!”, Whitney laughed.  “My father was the oldest 
of the family and auntie was the youngest.  They were 8 children.”
“That’s a lot!”
“I only knew my father and auntie though.  As for my mother, I don’t remember 
anything about her, she died…”
“When you were only 2, I know.”
“I know, I have told you that story a million times.”
“It doesn’t matter, I like it each time.”
“Then, my father had many stupid girlfriends who dared act as my mother.  I 
hated living with my father, so I got out of the house to live with Jasmine when 
I was only 11.  Four years later, I became a gym leader.”
“Yeah and now you’re an adult!”
“I turned eighteen only a month ago!”
“You have a beautiful gym!”
“Yes and I have many great pokemon, also a great boyfriend.”
“I like when you scratch my tummy…”, I purred.
“Also a few friends for my little parties!”
“Very few friends for your even fewer parties…”
“Hey, look who’s there!  Your family!”
“Meowsie!  Kala!  And…  Huh, well, what if you get a name…”
“That would be useful.”, Kala’s boyfriend said.
“What could your name be?”, I ask out loud.  
“You’re looking for a name to give to Persian?”, Whitney asked me, while she was 
petting his head.  “I have no idea right now, we’ll find out soon, I’m sure.” 
“I love this family.”, Persian said.
“I love you!”, Kala added. 
“I love you, Meowth!”, my girlfriend told me.
“I love you too and I always did!”, I replied.
We were all purring, licking and hugging each other.  That was a very fun moment 
to share.  Until…  
“Meowth!  James has been kidnapped!”, Jessie shouted.
“What?”  
“Two guys in black entered in the gym and we battled them, but we lost!  Then, 
they tied me and went off with James!  I’m glad Morty has untied me…  I heard 
one of the guys whispering about Celadon city…”   
“That’s where we’re going, we have to rescue James!”
“I’m going too!”, said Meowsie.
“Me too!”, Kala decided.
“So am I!”, Persian added.
“I’ll call a few friends to help us!”, Whitney said.
“Please, not too much friends this time, too much is like not enough!”, I 
advised.
“Don’t worry!  This time, I’ll be reasonable!”
“While Whitney calls her friends, we’ll have to find flying pokemon…”
“I don’t have one!”, Jessie panicked.
“Huh?  Am I the only one hearing a knock at the door?”, Meowsie asked.
“No.”, I said.  “I’ll answer…”
“Be careful, dad, it may be another bad guy!”, Kala warned.
“Didn’t thought about that…”
“Don’t worry, we’ll be all here to battle them if that’s the case!”, Meowsie 
said.
I opened the door and… it was MissingNo!  
“Yes, it’s me, the author!  I’m here to help you save James!  Let me introduce 
you my friend, Rebecca!”
“Hi!  I’m here to help out too!  Come outside, MissingNo and I will help you 
find flying pokemon.”  
We all came outside.
“Since we’re both MissingNo, we can fly!”, the silly author said.  “I’ll be 
carrying you and Persian!”
“Alrighty then, I’ll carry Meowsie and Kala!”, Rebecca added.
“Huh?  How come you know all of our names?”, Kala asked.
“I’m the author, I know everything!  Plus, I tell everything to my friends!”
“As for you, Jessie…”, her friend Rebecca thought.  “Huh… Well, maybe one of 
Whitney’s friend will lend you a flying pokemon.”
As she spoke, three birds pokemon landed in front of us.  There was a Pidgeot 
with Falkner and Clarita riding it, a Dragonite with Clair on it and a Skarmory 
with Jasmine on it.
“Jessie, hop on, we have to hurry!”, Clair commanded.
Jessie sat on Dragonite with Clair.  Whitney arrived outside.
“Morty will stay in the gym!  I’ll with you, Auntie!”
“Hang on, here we go!”, Auntie (What?  I can call her that way if I want!) said.
All five flying pokemon flew towards Celadon city… and James!  
“We’re going to save James!”, MissingNo shouted.
“I don’t get it, you’re the author!”, I told her.  “Why don’t you just snap your 
fingers and make James appear?  It would be a lot more easier!”
“But a lot more boring!  We’re having fun right now!”, Rebecca explained.
“I see Celadon department store!”, MissingNo remarked.  “We’re already there!”
All flying pokemon landed on ground.  I got off MissingNo and the others got off 
their flying buddies.  
“OK, now what?”, Clair said.
“Huh?  These are the guys I saw in the gym!”, Jessie noticed.
We all ran towards them!
“A good author never makes her readers wait too long!”
“Stop showing off and run!”, I shouted. 
“Be polite with your author!”
“MissingNo, why don’t we leave them do this alone and shop in the Celadon store 
for souvenirs?”, Rebecca asked.
“They won’t like it…  That’s why we have to go!”  
“It was only a suggestion, it does not mean it’s my idea!” 
“Don’t worry, I take all the blame!”
They ran away.
“Anyway, we don’t need them!”, Jessie shouted.  “I know we can do it by 
ourselves!”
“The guys are entering the Celadon mansion…”, Jasmine noticed.  
“I guess we’ll have to separate!”, Whitney realised.  “Meowsie, Falkner and 
Clarita, you stay outside to guard the front door!  Clair, Kala, Persian, you 
guard the back door!  Jessie, Auntie, Meowth and I will go inside.  Is that ok 
with everyone?”
They all nodded or gave another sign of agreement.
“Fine!  Let’s go!”
All four of us entered in the mansion.  It was so easy!  The door wasn’t locked 
or anything!  It’s like they want us to enter!
“Finally, I wanted you to enter!”, we heard a female voice say.
She was a smiling red-haired woman.  She was greeting us!  How weird!
“What have you done with James?”, Jessie yelled at her.
“Don’t worry, James is fine.  My bodyguards have stopped and tied the criminals!  
They wanted to kidnap me as well!”
She turned around and pointed two guys.  There were tied so they couldn’t move.
“Igor!”, the woman shouted to her body guard.  “Please bring those men to 
officer Jenny!”   
“What a wonderful mansion!”, Jasmine exclaimed.
“Indeed.”, Whitney agreed.
“James, you can come now!”
After the (very beautiful) woman spoke, James arrived!
“James!”, started Jessie.  “I was so worried!  Wah!  I mean, huh, hi…”
“Yah, we found him!”, Whitney exclaimed.  “We have to tell the others!”
“Before you go, Whitney, there’s something I must tell you!”, the woman said.
“How did MissingNo told you my name?”
“Huh?  Anyway, Whitney I knew you would have to come here someday.  I’m… your 
mother.”
“What?”, Jasmine said.
“Mom!”, Whitney exclaimed.  “I knew I would see you someday!”
“Impostor!”, Jasmine shouted.
She punched the woman in the face and she fell to the ground.
“Mom!”, Whitney screamed.  “What’s wrong with you, Auntie?”
“Whitney, she’s not your mother!  Your mother is dead!”
“I…”, the woman started, weakly.  “I…  should have… told…. you…  earlier…  I…  
ran away… from home… and… your father… told you…  I was dead…”
“Impossible!  My brother would never lie to me!”, Jasmine replied.
“Jasmine, stop that!”, Whitney shouted.  “You’re mean to my mother!”
“You don’t have any proof!”, Jasmine told her niece, before asking a clever 
question to the rich woman.  “If you’re Whitney’s mother, then, what’s your 
name?”
“My name is… Christina.  And… you… are… Jasmine, my ex-boyfriend’s little… 
sister! You… were the youngest… of… your family, he… was the oldest…”
“You’re really my mom!  I’m so happy you’re alive!”, Whitney cried, of joy.
Then, she helped her mother to stand up.  
“I’m so glad to see you too!”
Jasmine seemed very ashamed.  She had punched Whitney’s mother in the face.
“I’m sorry, Christina…”, she apologized.  “I didn’t recognize you and I thought 
you were…”
“I’m so happy to have found my daughter, so I don’t want to be angry.  I forgive 
you and I invite all of you for dinner!”
“Hurray!”, Jessie shouted.  “Food!  I’m going to tell the others…”
About an hour later, we were all eating at the same (very huge!) table.  I was 
feeling great for Whitney.
“Thanks, Mrs Christina, I owe my life to you and your bodyguards!”, James said.
“You’re welcome!  After all, they wanted to kidnap me too and probably steal all 
my money!”
“She must have a lot of money.”, Jessie concluded, mouthful.  “If you just look 
at the house…”
“The house is not all mine, I have a little sister who lives with me too!”
“Ah, I remember her!”, Jasmine exclaimed.  “Her name his…  huh, I’m not sure…  
Arila?”
“Ariela.”, Christina corrected.  “I have invited her.  She will come soon!”
“Great!  I have another auntie!”, Whitney exclaimed.    
“This food is very good!”, Clair said.
“It’s delicious!”, Clarita agreed.
They all chated and chated…  Then, the bell rang!  It was Ariela!
“Hi, everybody!  I’m so happy to met you!”
“Auntie!”
Whitney ran towards Christina’s little sister and hugged her!
“Hi, Whitney!  It’s nice to see you!”
Everybody looked happy, except Jasmine.
“What’s going on?”, I asked her.
“Nothing, I’m fine…”
“You don’t look fine.”
“It’s just that Whitney has found her mother and another auntie, but what if 
they replace me?  What if she’s always with them and never with me?”  
“Don’t worry!  I’m sure Whitney will never replace you!  You’ll still be like 
her big sister!”
“I guess so…” 
“So, auntie, how are you?”, Whitney asked.
“Very good, Whitney, how about you?”, Ariela answered.
“Great, of course!  Let me introduce you my friends.  There’s Clarita, Falkner, 
Clair, Meowth, Meowsie, Kala, Persian, Jessie, James and Jasmine.”
“Ah, Jon’s little sister!  How are you, Jasmine?”
“Good…”, Jasmine sighed.
“Wow, that food looks delicious!”, said Ariela.  “Our chef is very good, don’t 
you think so, Christina?”
Her big sister nodded.  Then, I noticed that Christina took James apart.  I 
followed them discreetly…  
“James, would like to do me a favour?”
“Anything, I owe you my life.”
“My sister is feeling so lonely these times.  She needs a husband to be with 
her…  You are her age, I’m sure you’ll be a great couple.
Would you please marry her?”
“Well, huh…”
“I know that it’s very demanding, also that you don’t know her and that wedding 
is something important… but she really needs you.  Plus, she’s rich, she will 
help you solve all your money problems.”
“How come you know I have money problems?”
“Whitney told me during the dinner.  It’s normal, after what you have been 
through…  All this would be solved, if…”
“It’s ok.  I accept.”
“Thank you very much, James, you are an angel!”
Darn, James will have to leave us…  I knew it would have to happen someday, 
anyway…  But we’ll be visiting him often!  Christina lives with Ariela and 
Whitney would want to visit them a lot of times!  That’s great!  James’ 
financial problems are solved and we’ll still keep in touch!
“I’ll propose right now.”, James decided.
“James, you are so nice…”
James and Whitney’s mother came back with the others, as I did.  James kneeled 
in front of Ariela.
“Ariela, we barely know each other, but would you like to marry me?”
Ariela gasped and looked delighted!
“With pleasure!”  
She hugged him.
“It’s the most wonderful day of my life!  James, I’m sure we’ll be very happy 
together!”
“Auntie, James, I’m so happy for you!”, Whitney said.
“You’re going to be one of the first guests for our wedding!”
“I would love it!”
“I would like to get married later…”, Clarita daydreamed.
“Do you think we’ll still be together when we’ll be adults?”, Falkner asked her.
“I think so and I hope so!”
“Of course!  You are so cute together!”, said Ariela.
She continued to chat with the others.  I looked around and noticed that James 
wasn’t here with us.  Neither was Jessie!  I decided to look for them.  After a 
few minutes of searching in the huge mansion, I saw them and hid behind a couch 
to hear what they were saying.  I’m glad cat pokemon don’t make a lot of noise 
when they walk!
“Why did you do this?”, Jessie asked.  “How could you?”
“Let me explain.  First, I owe my life to Christina who asked me to marry her 
sister.  I can’t refuse.  Second, our money problems will be solved!  I’ll buy 
you anything you want!”
“James, I don’t want money!  I want you.”
Then, what I heard them kissing!  How shocking!
“I love you, Jessie, but I have to marry her, for Christina, for Whitney and for 
both of us too.”
“I don’t want to leave you.”
“I know that continuing to hide our love is very difficult, but we don’t have 
the choice.”
What?  They hid their love!  Why they didn’t told their best friend?  Who is 
obviously me!
“Yes, we have the choice, we can run away from here and then… and then…”
“And then what?”
“I’m afraid you’re right…  We really don’t have the choice.”
“Jessie, I’ll go get Meowth.  We should have told him we were in love a long 
time ago.”
That’s when I decided to show myself to them.
“You don’t need to explain, I heard everything!”
“Meowth!”, James gasped.
“I know, spying is not good…”
“It’s ok, but…”
“Why didn’t you told me you were in love with each other?”, I cut him.
“We’re really sorry, Meowth, honestly, I decided to hide it, because first, I’ll 
be afraid you’ll make fun of us.”, Jessie explained.
“What?  You don’t trust me!”
“Meowth, we do trust you!”, James replied.  “We just weren’t ready to tell you, 
that’s all!  I know we should have told you earlier, but we couldn’t…”
I tried to calm down.
“I forgive you, I’m just a bit angry that you didn’t told me, but anyways, let’s 
continue what we were talking about.”
“Yes, as I said earlier, there’s nothing else we can do.”, James said.
“I guess so…”, Jessie sighed.  
“Let’s go back with the others…”
Jessie and I followed him.  All three of us looked as happy as a child whose toy 
just broke. 
“What a weird imagery!”, MissingNo said.
“Go back to your shopping!”, I yelled at her.
“With pleasure!”  
Anyway, as I said before this interruption, we all came back with the others.
“Where have you been, James?”, Ariela asked.  “It’s been fifteen minutes I 
didn’t see you and I missed you.  Please, kiss me to make me forgive you for 
going away.  Please, just one kiss.”
Jessie is a jealous girl.  She always had been.  Of her friends, family, of 
everyone!  And this time, she really tried to control her jealousy, but…
“GET YOUR PAWS OFF MY BOYFRIEND!”
The others looked at Jessie, very surprised.  Everybody was shocked.
“Jessie, why did you have to be jealous today?”, James whispered.
“I love him and he loves me!”, the angry ex-rocket girl continued.  “You can 
become his wife, but not his lover!”  
“I knew that girl would ruin our plans.”, Christina said, pointing at Jessie.  
“I should have get rid of her!”
“What are you saying, Mom?”, Whitney asked. 
“SHUT UP!  I’m not your mother!  My name is Isabella.  I have informed myself on 
your family so I could get loved by you and it worked, until now…”  
“What?  You dared act as my mother!”
“Déjà vu…”, I said.
“Yeah, you used French words!”, MissingNo exclaimed.  
“MissingNo, we better get back to shopping.”, Rebecca advised.  
“All right, buddy!”  
They both left.  Then, Ariela began to reveal her true identity also.
“As for me, Isabella’s sister, my name is not Ariela!”
She took her off her costume and wig (I knew this didn’t look her real hair!), 
James recognized her instantly.
“Jessiebelle!” 
“The one and only!”, she replied.
“You!”, said Jessie, glaring at her.
“James, you and I will be married tomorrow!  Go, Vileplume!”
“Viiiiiile!” 
“No, you won’t!”, Jessie replied.  “Go, Arbok!”
“Go, Victreebel!”, James commanded.
“Treeee!”  
“In that case, go, Miltank!”, Whitney ordered.
“Taaaaaaaank!”
“Go, me!”, I joked.
“Meeeoooow!”, Meowsie growled.
“Peeeeeeeerrr!”, Kala meowed.
“Siiiaaaaan!”, her boyfriend helped.
“Go, Kingdra!”, said Clair.
“I choose you, Fearow!”, Clarita told her pokemon.
“Pidgeot, help them!”, Falkner commanded.
“Rrrrrrrrow!”
“Piiiiid!”
“Go, Skarmory!”, Jasmine finished.
“Rrrrrrrrry!”
Christina, I mean Isabella, snapped her fingers and her bodyguards appeared with 
full of Granbull and Arcanine.
“Hey, those are the guys who kidnapped me!”, James noticed.
“As you hopefully guessed, these men were part of my plan!  Which is not over 
yet, go, Ninetales!”, Isabella yelled.
“Iiiiiiiine!”
Everybody sent out all of their pokemon, so they can be as many as the 
opponents.  Seeing that the battle was very difficult for our allies, James 
commended Weezing to use the ultimate attack.
“Weezing, explosion!”
The huge boom made all of the Pokemon faint, even Meowsie, Kala, Persian and I…  
I remember fainting and I got up later…  
“Where I am?”
“It’s ok, Meowth, you’re in the gym!”, Whitney responded.  “MissingNo and 
Rebecca came in the mansion with Officer Jenny! They arrested that evil woman…”
“And her even more evil sister!”, Jessie added.
“Meowth, Jessie, Meowsie, Kala, Persian, Whitney, Clair, Clarita, Falkner and 
Jasmine, I want to thank you all for rescuing me!”, James said.
“It’s normal!”, Jasmine replied.
“You’re welcome!”, Clarita answered.
James received other welcomes and then Whitney stood on a table.
“Ahem!  I have two things to announce you.  First, auntie Jasmine, I should have 
believed you when you said Isabella was an impostor.  More importantly, I want 
to tell you that I love you as much as I would love my own mother.”
These words sounded so great to Auntie’s ear.  
“I love you too, Whitney!”, she cried.
“Second, I want to officially announce than my working partners who will replace 
Alice and Rita are…  JESSIE AND JAMES!  And this, forever!”
Both of them couldn’t believe it!  They finally found a permanent job!
“I don’t know what to say!”, James cried.
“Duh!  Say thank you!”, I joked.
“Good idea!  Thank you, master Whitney!”
“Forget the master Whitney!”, she replied. “From now on, we’re associates!  Or, 
I should say that we’re friends!”
“You’re a great friend, Whitney!”, I exclaimed.  “You’re being so nice to Jessie 
and James!”
Jessie stood on the table too, beside Whitney.
“I want to announce you officially that I love James!”
“I love you too, Jessie!”
“Cheesy!”, Rebecca commented.
“I know, I’m not very good in romance thingies.”, MissingNo replied.
“It’s ok, because the rest of the fic was pretty good!”
“Thanks a lot!  By the way, you’re a grrrrrrrrrrrreat friend!”
“You are too!”
“It’s so fun!”, Whitney exclaimed.  “I’m going to do a party to celebrate all 
this!  I’ll invite only a few people!”
“Here we go again…”, I said.
About half a hour later, the people (as few as always…) arrived.  Even the 
author was invited!
“Hey, Meowth, don’t you want some Canada flags?”
“What?”
“Canada!”, Rebecca repeated.  “It’s our country!  A bit like Johto for you.”  
“I see…  No, thanks, I don’t need anything.”
“By the way, Persian, I think I found you a name!”, MissingNo said.
Persian came over, anxious to know what the name she found would be.
“How do you like Grif?”
“Does that come from the French for claw?”, Rebecca asked.
“Yes, but we spell the French word with “fe” at the end.”
“Peeeeeeeeer!”
“He likes it!”, I translated.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat, from now on, we’ll call you Grif!”, MissingNo announced.
“That’s a good name.”, Meowsie commented.
“I like it.  I love you, Grif.”, Kala told her lover. 
They both purred.  Meowsie licked me too and we purred as well.
“Meowsie, I’m realising how much my life has changed since I met you…”
“You miss your life before?”
“A bit, there were more adventures before…  Now, we have everything easily.”
“And you don’t like that?”
“No, but everything else is just wonderful, because I have with me three 
wonderful women: you, Kala and Whitney.”

                                                                                                                          
The end
