CHAPTER 3: AMBUSH!
Jessie's P.O.V.

We just entered the forest but i already was tired. I just can't believe 
that we always walked trough these kind of woods without even feeling a bit 
tired... ' What's this?' I saw Ai picking up something. Something 
familliar.' It's a rose, a red rose!' I was sure that it was James', there 
were no wild roses growing in this forest and he's the only one i know who 
constantly carries a rose around. Ai gave the rose to me.' Do you really 
think it's James' rose?' I nodded, i was absolutly sure! 'Yes, it is his!' 
Ai smiled and told me something, something that would end this search for 
James. ' There, look there!' She pointed at a young man who was standing on 
the top of a hill. ' It's James!' Meowth was running toward him. It is 
James! But wait... Something is, not right. Suddenly i felt a shock running 
trough my whole body. That was NOT James!

' Stop! That's not him! It's not James!' Meowth turned around. He seemed 
angry.
' Waddaya mean, it's not James?'.'SO YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART, MISSY!' It was 
a cold voice, cold as ice. And it came out of ' James' ' mouth. ' I guess 
you're right after all, Jess!' Meowth hide behind Ai's legs. Ai was just as 
scared as Meowth and i were. I was the first to gain the strength to talk 
again. ' Who are you?' I asked the 'James'. 'DON'T YOU RECONIZE ME? I'M 
JAMES, YOUR PARTNER IN CRIME, YOUR TEAMMATE!' Meowth yelled at him. 'You're 
forgetting best friend!' Ai also yelled at him. ' Yeah, and you're 
forgetting her love!'.' This is no time for jokes Ai!' How could she talk 
about that on a moment like this! But she got a point, if we were not going 
to survive this, my love for James would die with me... That thought made me 
angry, furious! I started to yell at the fake James. 'You're not James, so 
who are you then!?' He wasn't answering, he only started to laugh. 'I'LL 
SHOW YOU!' It slowly started to change.' What's happening?' It was growing, 
and so was my hate for that monster. It turned in a creature with long 
teeths and sharp claws, it was the monster from the book.
I heard some crying, it was Ai. She kneeled on the ground and burried her 
face into her hands.

Ai's P.O.V.

It was the same monster as five years ago, the one that... I don't want it 
to happen again, it may not take any more lives away from young people who 
are in love. I stood up, but i was still shaking. ' Jessie, Meowth, we gotta 
run!' The three of us were running, running faster than we ever had. I 
looked around to see the monster chasing us. It was so evil, so 
cold-hearted. He fed himself with the love of young people. He did the same 
to Koru and me... I wished he had picked me instead. Tears flowed down my 
cheeks.' I don't want it to happen again!' Jessie, who was carrying Meowth 
looked at me. ' You don't want what to happen again?' I looked back to see 
if the monster was still chasing us, unfortunally it was still right behind 
us. I looked back at Jessie again ' I'll tell you when we're safe.' We were 
desperatly running away from the huge Pokémon, the huge monster.

James' P.O.V.

And again we were wandering in the forest without exit. I'm glad that the 
twerp had an extra sleepingbag with him, otherwise i now was a icecream with 
James flavour... I wonder how that would taste... Now look at me, i'm stuck 
in a forest and the only thing it think about is icecream. ' Do you really 
know the way out of this forest?' No answer.' Hey you twerp, are you 
listening?HUH?!' He was gone, a few seconds ago he was still walknig next to 
me. ' Up here!' He was riding on the back of his Noctowl. ' See ya!' He and 
his Noctowl flew away. I don't believe it! The twerp just left me alone in 
this forest!
'Come back!' I was calling him back, but he was long gone.' Just great...' I 
sat down on a rock and started to pout.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jessie's P.O.V.

Finally we managed to lose the Pokémon, i was exhausted so i leaned against 
a tree. Meowth wasn't with us, he was still running when we jumped in the 
bushes. I have no idea where he is right now, i hope he was able to escape. 
( Author's note: Jess and Ai don't know that Meowth escaped and found his 
way out of the forest. When we were running Ai wanted to tell us something.' 
Hey Ai...You...' I was gasping for breath, i guess i was still to tired from 
running to have a ordinairy conversation. When i managed to ask Ai what she 
wanted to tell us, she told me about how she and Koru entered the forest. 
How she lost her only love. How the monster feeds himself with love. ' But 
why is he after us? I mean we're in love with nobody.' I could hit myself, 
what was i saying! Now Ai will probably say that i love James and that kind 
o' stuff. Suprisingly she was only smiling at me, and she put her hand on my 
shoulder. ' There's love in all of us. But some just have got more then 
others, and even if they don't know it, it's there...'
She's right, how can she know that all? ' And love is not something that's 
only for the weak, 'cause if you tell someone you love him you need 
strength.' She looked me in the eyes and said.' It's weak to deny love, and 
you know that Jessie.' Is it really weak to deny love? Could it be that the 
one thing that i always try to hide because i think it's weak, isn't my true 
weakness... I do love James, whatever i say and how much i try to hide it. I 
can't believe i started to believe my own lies, i'm really glad that Ai 
opened my eyes. 'Thank you...' Ai was confused by my answer, i could tell 
that by the look on her face, but then she smiled. ' I think we could take 
some rest now, i'm going to take a nap.' She pulled a pillow out of her bag 
and she fell asleep. I could take a nap too, i need some rest before we can 
find James. I tried to sleep, but i couldn't. The thought of James being 
lost was constanly on my mind. I hope that the he is allright... I was 
crying silently, if he was gone forever it would be my fault, he is gone 
because of me. The note that was lying on the table the morning that he 
left. It said that he needed some time alone, if i just wasn't constanly 
wacking him with paper-fans and frying pans... I bet he wouldn't be gone if 
i was kind toward him... ~KYAAAAAAAAA!!!~ I heard someone screaming, Ai 
rubbed in her eyes.' What's going on?' ~KYAAAAAAAA!!!~ 'So that's going on!' 
She stood up and looked at me. I was standing there, shaking. ' It's, it's 
James!' ~KYAAAAA!!!~ It was him, he was in pain i needed to help him. I 
grabbed Ai's arm and we both started to run. 'Please James be allright...' I 
looked up and was praying while is was running.'Please, let him be allright. 
I haven't asked you for much yet and i never believed in you, but this is a 
good time to proof that you do exist!' Ai and i were running toward the 
screaming, but when we arrived...

To be continued...

What's going to happen? It's so secret that even I don't know! Just kidding 
of course, doi... I bet you noticed that this chapter is a bit shorter than
