CHAPTER 1: We don't like 'em...

Jigglypuff-puffy’s. They were pink, sugar coated, mushy cereals. And Jessie and James both hated
them. But always when they were at the supermarket, they couldn’t resist buying one.
Meowth never got why they bought it, but Jessie and James had one simple reason.
The prize inside.

To Meowth that seemed plain dumb. All of them knew the prizes inside were definatly not
worth the money they spent on it and all of the prizes eventually ended up in Jessie’s bag, also
known as the “Bag o’ prizes”. And the boxes themselves? They always ended up in the back
of some cupboard or on a high shelve.
That wasn’t the worst part, but the trio always had troubles with money. They never had
enough to buy themselves a good dinner. Meowth was fed up with it and just asked it. 

‘ Hey James! How come ya always buy those disgusting Jigglypuff-puffy’s? Da prizes inside
aren’t worth all da money!’ James was busy building a scale-model of the Tokio-tower from
matches and didn’t look up as he answered. As far as you could call it an answer.
‘ Because...Just because.’ James didn’t speak as he continued building his tower.
Meowth sighed and left the room. Maybe Jessie would tell him what this is all about. 

As soon as Meowth was gone, James stood up and made himself a cup of nice, hot, green tea.
‘ Nosy little cat...’ James thought as he poured the steaming hot water into his cup.
‘ That’s are none of his business...’ He put the cup of tea on the little table and sat down on
the couch. He leaned back and looked around a bit, exploring their cabin.
This was the place where they could stay during their short one-week break. It was a small,
but cozy wooden cabin somewhere in a needle-leaved forest in a mountain area.
He grabbed his cup of tea again and took a sip, but he couldn’t quite relax. With the cup in his
hand, James stood up, and spilled a little gush of tea on the floor, which he didn’t really seem
to notice.
‘ Meowth just started about those puffy’s that suddenly...’ He walked toward the cupboard
where they kept the boxes of Jigglypuff-puffy’s and reached for the box in the back.
‘ I hope he didn’t find out about-...’ James looked into the box and desperatly searched
trough the puffy’s that were still in there. But it was gone.
‘ Oh man... This is not good, I hope he didn’t find the letter as well!’ James opened the box
next to it and in a sigh of relieve he found out that luckily the letter was still there.
‘Thank god, he didn’t find it...’ He looked at the envelope, the name ‘Jessica’ was written on
it in a graceful handwriting.
James’ handwriting.

Meanwhile, Meowth was outside, looking for Jessie. He looked everywhere near their cabin,
but he couldn't find Jessie anywhere. Suddenly Meowth heared something. He closed his eyes
and focused on the sound he was hearing. It sounded like someone was talking, but he only heared
one voice. It seemed familliar, he had heared this person before, but still he couldn't quite place it...
Maybe if he tried really hard, he would be able to hear what was being said.
So he listened carfully.
' You're so pretty...It's unbelievable you just cam out of a box' Meowth could hear a sweet feminine voice coming
from somewhere in the woods. He wanted to know what she was talking about. And who she was talking to.
' You remind me of someone...Someone that is very precious to me...'
Meowth was still looking around, wanting to know where the voice came from. Wanting to find
out who the voice belonged to.
' Full of mysteries...' He walked to where the sound came from, getting closer to the source of this
peculiar monologe.
' How pretty you both are... But no matter how seductive your outsides are...' The sentences were
getting clearer, and clearer. All Meowth had to do was follow the sound.
' The inside of you will always remain forbidden to me...'

Meowth tried his best to hear the voice again, but after the last thing he heared, no sound has come
from the forest, except for the usual "bird-chirping". He thought it might have been the television from
a nearby cabin, even though the nearest would be two kilometers away, or maybe even had it just been
his imagination. Meowth walked back to the small house, but if he had just looked around the corner,
he would have seen the origin of the sound he was hearing.

A young woman was sitting on a rock and was looking at a ring with a diamond that shined in the
sunlight falling trough the roof of leaves. She held it as if it was a living creature, she was stroking
it and hold it tight to her chest.
' For that, my inside shall be forbidden to you too...' She whispered to the ring she held in her hands as
her crimson hair was softly blown up by a cool breeze. A tear ran down her cheeks and that brought her
back to this reality. She stood up and wiped her tears away.
' But he doesn't need to know that... I am strong and independant.' She said to herself.
' For I am Jessica of Team Rocket! And none shall see me cry like this...'
Talking to herself to gain convidence, she walked back to the cabin.
Back to those who won't see her cry.

James wanted the cerials to hide his feelings,
little did he know it would only bring the issue up.
Little did he know that it would be found before he knew...
Jessie wanted the cerials for another beautiful prize inside,
little did she know it wasn't just any prize.
Little did she know it was actually meant for her...
