***Introductory to story****
Hi everyone, I have always been a fan of team Rocket and think they are a funny trio but while going over them on Bulbapedia I could see it was never explained how they all reached team Rocket after leaving the bicycle gang so I thought I would write a story how they came to be the funny trio we have Today. Obviously this is just my fan-fiction and this isn’t how it came to be probably but I hope you enjoy.
Also I will continue writing “Hoenn Journey: The rescue of Flannery” while writing this, this story will probably only have a few chapter’s anyway^_^
***Chapter 1: The path to team Rocket: James Story: Part 1***
All my life I had been running away from situations, first Jessiebelle, then Pokemon Tech and now the Bicycle gang of Sunny Town. I was popular there, I had a group of friends, “Trainer Jim” I was called. I felt like for once in my life I was needed and that I was accepted.
One day Chopper (the leader of the gang) planned a mission where we would rob the local Museum and steal the rare and expensive items. I and the other members including Chopper, Tyra and “Chain Jess” agreed to go along with the plan and one night we decided it was time.
Chopper’s Golem broke the window in and before the alarm could go off Tyra’s Cloyster used ice beam on the alarm. We sneaked in, I wasn’t far behind Chopper and “Chain Jess” was just behind Tyra.
“There it is, the elemental jewels of Kanto, Fire, Ice, Electric”, let’s get them” Chopper said.
Usually this would work, break the glass and run out with them as the alarm was frozen. No-one would know and no one would dare ask the Bicycle gang of Sunny town.
Just as Tyra and Chopper walked up I could see an infrared alarm and they were just about to walk into it, there was a second alarm and we hadn’t frozen it.
“Stop”!
It was too late; Chopper and Golem had walked through the alarm’s beams.
The noise was loud and uncomfortable, I could tell the Museum’s guards would be coming and that Officer Jenny and her associates were on the way.
“You two run, go”, Tyra said!
Just as I turned around I could see “chain Jess” was already running.
“Go Jim go”, Chopper said.
I ran, I could feel the tears running down my cheeks, it was over, I was no longer part of something.
As I ran up the path leading out of Sunny town I knew things were changing, I could hear the police sirens. Where would I go?
I sat on the hill, looking over the town, a town which would soon be my past. All I had was the rose I had been given by “chain Jess”, to me it represented great memories and fun times, I had wondered where she had run off to. I remember her briefly mentioning she had no family, no one to turn to.
I woke to the sound of Fearow and Pidgey flying over me as well as Mankey making sounds in the trees.
I had fallen asleep on the hill.
“James”, I turned to see one of the Bicycle gangs members. It was a rookie named “Red”.
“Come back with me, we’re safe, Chopper and Tyra are down near the docks” he said.
I was surprised, how could they not be behind bars as I speak. I followed Red down to the docks of Sunny town.
“Jimmy, it’s good to see you again”, Chopper said.
“Not to be rude but why aren’t you in Jail, you too Tyra”?
“We got bail surprisingly, I’m not too worried and this town is scared of us” Chopper said while laughing.
I looked over to see Tyra sitting down, her hair covered her face and she wasn’t moving, this event clearly affected her differently then it did to Chopper.
“Are you ok Tyra” I asked?
She didn’t answer.
“She’s fine” said Chopper.
I suddenly noticed that “chain Jess” wasn’t present. Jess and I were good friends going way back.
We were both at the Pokemon Tech and came to the realisation that it wasn’t for us and we dropped out. We then came to Sunny town and joined the Bicycle gang. She hadn’t told me much about her past except that she grew up in an orphanage.
“Where’s Jess” I asked?
“Jess, I don’t know, seems like she left town” Chopper said.
I suddenly froze, Jess couldn’t have left, she wouldn’t have just left like that.
“Sorry to interrupt but are you talking about a young girl with long red hair, she was a pretty young girl” said one of the fisherman (I found this odd someone came up the Bicycle gang not scared).
“Yes, that’s her, do you know where she is” I asked?
“I’m afraid your too late son, I saw a girl describing that description head on a boat…to the Hoenn Region bound for Littleroot town” he said.
“I’m so sorry, you were just an hour too late” he said while walking off.
It couldn’t be, Jess had left, without even saying goodbye? This was the same girl that left the Pokemon Tech with me, the one who joined the bicycle gang with me.
It couldn’t be her, she wouldn’t leave like that.
“I’m sorry Jim, well there are always more girls out there” Chopper said.
“I don’t care, just leave me alone”. I ran, I didn’t care what they thought, this wasn’t like Jess, we were friends and friends don’t just leave without saying goodbye.
I stopped; maybe she was scared of being prosecuted?
For a moment I believed that until I remembered Jess was the one always taking risks, at Pokemon Tech and in the Bicycle gang she would often like to be seen doing the tough jobs.
I sat on the concrete ground, Jess had left without saying bye, the very person who I always thought would have my back and I have hers had left on an adventure through Hoenn. If she was going for a fresh start then I shall too, it was time for me to leave Sunny town and start my own new adventure.
“That’s right Chopper, I need to leave the gang”.
“Are you sure this is what you want, I doubt Tyra and I will be prosecuted and we can once again put fear in the people that live in this town”.
“I’m sorry, thanks again and goodbye, I hope we will cross paths again someday”.
I walked away from the gang, just as I have walked away from nearly everything in life. I was doing what Jess was doing, leaving (though at least I was doing the kind thing of telling the people who had given so much to me).
Typical on my normal journeys I had no food, water or a map though I did know that Fuschia City was only a little while away. The question is though, what was I going to do once I got there?
As I was walking through rocky terrain I was continually jumping over rocks and falling down, it got quite tiring after awhile. The hot sun was burning on me and there didn’t seem to be any trainer’s or Pokemon around.
I had always been around Pokemon, as a young child I had a Growlithe named Growlie and in my Sinnoh mansion I had a Carnivine. Unfortunately neither of them was with me now, I hadn’t been to my Sinnoh mansion for Years and after leaving my home I was unable to bring Growlie. Everyday I would think about how they were, I remembered the good times we had and hoped that one day we would reunite.
Suddenly as I was walking on one of the cliff’s a flamethrower attack hit the cliff.
“AHH”!
I was falling to the ground.I could see that a Houndoom had caused the attack and was running through the grass, it was looking for something, it couldn’t have been after me could it?
Just as I thought I was about to hit the ground I closed my eyes telling myself this was it. It was time to let all my secrets out, after all no-one was around and this was it for James.
“I’M SORRY TO EVERYONE I HURT, I HOPE THEY UNDERSTAND, GOODBYE TO THE PERSON I CARE MOST ABOUT, GOODBYE MY TRUE LOVE…”.
I stopped, I had hit the ground but was still alive, I suddenly realised I landed on not grass but something soft and bouncy.
“Munchlax, lax, Munchlax”.
Something under me was making a sound so I stood up.
It was a wild Munchlax.
“Munchlax, LAX”!
It jumped up and suddenly was hit by flamethrower; it would seem the Houndoom was after it. Munchlax quickly got up and ran, I had to help this poor Pokemon, no Pokemon deserved to be attacked like this.
“I think you should just stop there” someone from behind suddenly said.
I turned to find a man in black clothing and a black hat jumping in the air.
“I am from team Rocket, the greatest team in the World” he said while leaping in the air.
“Team Rocket” I said to myself? I had only heard of them briefly once when Chopper was talking about recent Pokemon being stolen in Sunny town and being used as ransom tools, Officer Jenny and her associates believed we were the ones behind the theft.
“If I was you I would step back, team Rocket’s goal is to steal all Pokemon for profit and even though this Munchlax is a baby Pokemon it will soon evolve into a very expensive and powerful Snorlax, so move out of my way”!
”Leave this Munchlax alone you crook” I said while running to stand in front of the wild Munchlax.
I was shocked, of all the things I have done in my life this was one of the most dangerous situations I had put myself in.
From this moment on I was making a fresh start just like Jess did, I wasn’t going to run away anymore and let crooks like team Rocket hurt this Pokemon.
“GET ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT” I shouted out.
I took my rose out and hoped it symbolised I was ready for anything.
“Your wish then, you silly man” the team Rocket member said.
“Houndoom use flamethrower on this poor individual”.
The houndoom jumped in the air and used flamethrower.
I was ready for it, this was the new me, I was not going to run away anymore.
“AHH”!
The flamethrower hit me, I was burning, my knees were shaking but I could not stand down.
“LAX, LAX, MUNCHLAX” the poor Munchlax behind me was saying.
“NO” I screamed as I couldn’t take it anymore.
Suddenly a mini explosion occurred from the force of the flamethrower and I flew in the air. The rose given to me by Jess had left my fingers.
Just as I was about to grab it I could hear the team Rocket grunt tell his Houndoom to use flamethrower again.
“NO”!
The attack hit the rose, it had been burnt into little rose ashes, it was my last my last physical memory of Jess.
“HOW COULD YOU, NO”!!!
The flamethrower attack hit me with such force I was once again pushed further in the sky, I was moving like a rocket ship.
I ended up being forced onto one of the rocky cliffs.
Unfortunately I could see that the poor wild Munchlax hadn’t got away in time.
“LEAVE IT ALONE” I shouted but I knew it made no difference.
The Houndoom used flamethrower on Munchlax and pushed it on the ground.
The team Rocket grunt then threw a poaching device on the Munchlax; it was then surrounded by magnetic bars making it impossible to escape.
I could see they it was able to hover so he was obviously going to take it back somewhere.
“Thanks for you’re help, a word of advice for next time, don’t get in team Rocket’s way, no one can defeat team Rocket” he said while walking away laughing.
I had failed; once again I couldn’t save the day. I had failed that Munchlax.
I knew the Munchlax may have been in danger but I could do nothing.
I knew to that day I didn’t ever want to put a Pokemon through that and I never wanted to join that evil group, team Rocket.
After sitting on that cliff for awhile thinking about the events that just occurred I knew I would have to keep going to Fuschia city.
It was also final that I was moving on, no more physical memories of Jessie.
Just as I continued walking suddenly the ground caved in and I fell down the cliffs.
“AHH NOT AGAIN” I said while also thinking this just wasn’t my Day.
Suddenly I hit the ground, though this time I didn’t fall on a Pokemon.
“Ouch” I said to myself.
I couldn’t seem to find any paths leading up back to the cliffs so it would seem I would have to walk through the paths of grass.
As I walked through an area I had never been in before a pamphlet or piece of paper suddenly blew in my face.
It read “Fuschia City Pokemon Orienteering Contest, fun and games for all watching the challenge”.
It seemed like an interesting event so I decided once I got there I would watch the event. (I would be un-able to participate as currently I have no Pokemon).
Suddenly, as almost a bit of luck for once had been thrown on me I could hear people talking and walking as well as children and Pokemon playing and laughing together.
I followed the sounds till I walked in a town. I could see a sign near one of the gates.
“Welcome to Fuschia City, we hope you enjoy our stay and return soon” it read.
I had arrived in Fuschia City, the destination I had been hoping to arrive to.
The city was large; lots of people and Pokemon were running around and having a good time.
I knew this would be the first step in having a change in my life, just as Jessie had done and while the thought of that was daunting at first I was going to do it.
I would not run away from this like I had done all my life, I would not run back to the Bicycle gang of Sunny town.
It was time for me to change!
“Welcome to Littleroot town passengers, the town that can’t be shaded by any hue” said the ships captain.
“Passengers, you have arrived at your destination, here you are and thank you for choosing the Sunny Town express ship for your journey” the captain said once again.
“It’s time for my change” whispered Jessie.
“I’m sorry Tyra and Chopper; sorry to the Bicycle gang and most importantly I’m sorry to James, I hope we can meet again soon”.
Jessie walked off the boat carrying nothing.
Jessie had made a change in her life, one that would soon change it to something she thought would never happen.
Little did she know she would meet James again, someday soon?
***Special Preview of Chapter 2***
Jessie has finally arrived in Littleroot town, there she meets new people and Pokemon and decides to change her life and move on from Sunny town and James.
What will she do, the first part of Jessie’s path to team Rocket begins in chapter 2.
