Gio's Song
Giovanni's Song
Jessie and James staggered into the Café, later than usual, looking hagard and harassed.
"What's wrong with you?" I questioned.
They slumped into chairs, muttering one intelligible word: "BEER!"
After the duo had been served and calmed down, they started to explain what had happened.
"The Boss called us in," Jessie told us. "But we didn't know why. We got there..."
"And he practically bit our heads off!" James screeched.
"Something about being totally worthless and he didn't know why he didn't fire us... I wasn't really paying attention- I was trying to keep from pissing my pants!" Jessie finished.
Ryoko stared at the two. "Damn, he must be evil."
"It's worse than that," Cassidy put in. "You screw up once- a little lecture and your back on the streets."
"You screw up twice-" Butch shuddered, "and suddenly you're the lowest slime on Earth."
"I don't know how any human can be that cruel," Jessie said.
"Maybe he isn't human. Maybe he's..." James paused for dramatic effect, than said in quite possibly the best Church Lady impression I've ever heard, " SATAN?"

Cassidy scratched her chin in the way that reminded me of Brock in his thinking mode. "You know, that gives me an idea. Rocket huddle!"
After a few moments of quiet talk, J, J, B, and C broke and headed straight for the Karaoke Machine.
I wasn't exactly sure what they were doing, but I knew one thing- it was gonna be good.

Giovanni Went Down to Georgia
Cass:Giovanni went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for some kids to steal
He was in a bind his team was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

James: Now he came across this young teen
Playin' Pokémon and playin' it hot
And Giovanni jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Girl lemme tell you what."

Butch: I bet you didn't know it
But I'm a Pokéfighter too
And if you care to make a dare
I'll make a bet with you

Now you fight pretty good battles, kid
But give Giovanni his due
And if I win
You'll join my team
'Cause I think I'm better than you

James: The girl said
Jessie: My name's Jessie
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

Cass: Giovanni threw out a ball
And he said I'll start this show
And sparks flew from his Pokéball
As a Pokémon began to grow.

James: Then a Kingler stood in front of them
And it showed off all it's might
And he clicked his claws and strutted
And it was an amazing sight

Cass: When the Kingler finished
Jessie said
Jessie: Well that's pretty nice old son
Just sit right back in that chair there
And I'll show you how it's done

Cass: Then Jessie sent out Arbok
Fight boys fight
Kingler's got power but Arbok's got some bite
Kingler's tied up and he's been poisoned
The Pokémon passed out
Jessie did win

Butch: Giovanni bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid a golden Pokéball
On the ground at Jessie's feet

James: Jessie said
Jessie: Gio just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once
You son of a blitch
I'm the best there's ever been

All: And Jessie sent out Arbok
Fight boys fight
Kingler's got power but Arbok's got some bite
Kingler's tied up and he's been poisoned
The Pokémon passed out
Jessie did win

We were all so busy cheering for the stroke of genius from our Rocket friends that we didn't see the shadowy figure sneak up behind Jessie, James, Butch and Cassidy.
Remember how I mentioned in Tracey's song that the Café had been relocated so almost anyone could come? Well, it turned out that Giovanni was a partying kinda guy.
"So I'm the devil, am I?" he snapped, grabbing J&J by their jackets.
"Eeep!" James squealed. "We didn't mean it!"
"An honest joke, sir!" Jessie added.
Giovanni smiled evilly. "Joke, huh? Well, how's this for funny? All four of you have a ten percent salary cut- effective immediately!"
The four Rocketeers groaned, but didn't dare say anything against Gio.

I guess some people just can't take a joke!

Now Showing at the Animé Café...
 Or...
Run Away from the Café!
