Episode 1 AN: Hi! It's me slickboy444. Thank you to all the people who read "A Beautiful Thing." This story is the sequel to that very fic and the beginning of a prolonged series. I highly recommend that you read "A Beautiful Thing" before you read this one or you'll be a bit lost. This is still an AAMR, but this story also is my first attempt at a JAJR so bear with me. I have always thought that Jessie and James make a great couple, now I finally have a story for it. I beg you all to tell me what you think of this story by e-mailing me at slickboy444@aol.com. I plan to continue this series off of this story and "A Beautiful Thing," as long as I get the necessary reviews. Once again this fic is dedicated to Charizard, Grocko, and McWizardX for their inspiration. Thank you and enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon in any way so please don't sue me because I don't have anything. AN: 'These mean character thoughts.' And thanks to Grocko if you're reading this. Ages: Ash 18, Misty 18, Jessie 22, James 22. It had been several months since that one single day. That one day that changed the lives of two very special souls. For them it was a blessing, they had found true love. These souls were Ash and Misty, two everyday pokemon trainers who happen to be in a relationship of pure love. On this particular day they were out on the road on route to Viridian City. They had spent nearly two weeks on the road. Ash: *Yawns* Man what a night. He turned to Misty. She was still sleeping peacefully. Ash: Morning beautiful. He bent down and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek so he didn't wake her. He then got up started making breakfast for himself and his faithful pokemon. Pikachu: Morning Ash. Ash: Hey pikapal. Sleep well? Pikachu: Yep! So will we get to Viridian today? Ash: I don't know, either today or tomorrow. Just then Misty woke up. She still had a sleepy look in her eyes. Misty: Hey Ash. She yawned and stretched out her arms. Ash: Hey sleeping beauty did I wake you? Misty: As a matter of fact you did. Ash: Oh, sorry. Misty: Don't be, I'm glad you did. Ash: Why? Misty: Because you did it like this… She went over and gave Ash a big morning kiss. Ash: Oh… Misty smiled at Ash's surprise. The last few months have been heaven for the two. Being together made both of them so happy. They let their love out freely and had fun on dates, talked for hours at a time about anything, and even made love many times. Misty: So how much longer must we stay on the road? Ash: By the end of today if we don't get sidetracked. Misty: That's a big if. They all laughed knowing their luck. The duo and their pokemon just sat eating their breakfast and enjoying the outdoors. Misty: Well, I'm going to wash up in the lake. Ash: Okay, you go on ahead. A smirk grew across Misty's face. Misty: Ash…Don't you want to join me? Ash looked up in surprise. Misty: Come on stud. Ash: Anything you say angel. So the two headed off towards the small lake near by to wash up. It didn't take long for this simple task to turn in to a steamy session of lovemaking. This kept them occupied while Pikachu and Togepei ate what leftovers there were. They knew that their trainers best be left alone during things like that. It didn't really bother them; it just meant more leftovers for them. At team rocket HQ. Giovanni: Bring them in here now! Guard1: Yes sir. Two guards armed with machine guns left in the adjacent room and forcibly bought in two fellow members. They were Jessie, James, and Meowth. They had been punished, yet again, for their failure to pursue Ash and capture his prized pokemon. Each one of them had scratches, torn clothing, dirt all over them. They immediately were forced to kneel before their leader. Giovanni: Well, well…Once my best agents now reduced to this. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. They cowered at the harsh tone of his words. Giovanni: I have given you chance after chance to redeem yourselves, but you always fail. Why?! Why do you fail me?! The boss was now fiercely shouting. All three of the fellow teammates cringed, afraid to speak. James: Sir I beg you. It's not our fault. We tried, but that kid, Ash, and his pokemon kept ruining it. We tried to deal with him, but he's just too strong. Giovanni: Too strong! Too strong! Do you fight like your lives depend on it, do you deal with him as aggressively as I would?! NO! Jessie: We're sorry Boss, but… Giovanni: That won't cut it you two. This, Ash Ketchem, has been meddling with team rocket for years. I never should have trusted you to take care of him! Giovanni took a deep breath. Giovanni: I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago. I'm gonna give you two your last punishment! And I'm going to get rid of that meddlesome kid once and for all.
