Fanfics - Dark Musashi's Rocket Realm

Rocket Princess

Chapters 8-10


Chapter 8 -"Pokemon...Or Not?"

"Oh..." James began crying with funny Anime tears. "I cannot believe I was...KIDNAPPED! From my own mother!" Jessie groaned.

"What was worse was that your mother was thought of as perfect Team Rocket quality." The two angry friends glared at Meowth.

Meowth got a sweatdrop. "Uhh...It was...Uhh..." He ran off.

James glared off after Meowth and stuck out his tongue. "Meanie!"

Jessie wrapped her arms around James. "Now...Where were we?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meowth wandered to another part of the ruins. The place he entered seemed to be ruins of the old Ballroom. "Meowth is just as sorry as dose two..." he sniffed. Tears welled up in his eyes. "It's not like Meowth was always evil..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mama!"

"Matt!"

A small boy of about eight greeted his mother. The boy was short, with blondish-brown hair, and bright blue eyes. In his hand, he held a small coin. "Mama, look what I found!" He displayed the object for his mother.

She gently took the coin from his hands and examined it. "Well, it looks like you found the coin of a Pokemon. I think it belonged to...A Meowth." The boy giggled. "See, after a Meowth evolves into a Persian, it leaves its coin behind. You're very lucky." She handed it back to her son.

Matt clutched the coin. "Wow!" he said as his eyes sparkled. "I'll keep it forever..." Then he ran off to play.

His mother watched him leave. "Don't wander off too far, Matt!" she called after him. "Stay inside the yard..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt wanted to obey his mother, but he was very curious. He also wanted to find the Persian whom the coin belonged to. He unlocked the gate and walked off into the woods. "Oh, mister Persian...I have your coin..." From the bushes, a shadow stirred. Suddenly, it leapt out and attacked the boy. Matt screamed. He had found his Persian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What did you bring me today, my Persian?" a dark man asked as he watched his Persian enter. The Persian dropped a small boy at its master's feet. The boy was Matt. "What's this?"

"Purrrrrsian..."

Matt opened his eyes. He had been out for awhile. "Where am I?

Where's my mama?" He looked up and saw the evil man. "Who are you?" Matt gasped.

"Me?" The man sneered. "My name is Giovanni. I am the leader of Team Rocket."

Matt's eyes widened in fear. "I've heard of you. Your group likes to snatch Pokemon!"

"I guess I'm famous after all," Giovanni laughed as he stroked the Persian. "How nice!"

Matt got to his feet. "I'm not afraid of you, you ugly man!" With that, he started running. Giovanni laughed some more. "We cannot let him leave now, can we?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thousands of Rocketeers were sent out after the frightened, yet determined boy. Matt looked everywhere for an exit, but they had all been locked off. When he was finally captured, he was taken back to Giovanni.

"What should I do with you?" Giovanni mocked. "Should I feed you to my Gyarados? Lock you in the dungeon?" Then he looked at his Persian. "Oh, you've just evolved, haven't you?" The Persian grinned.

Matt still clutched the golden Meowth coin in his hand. "Lemme go!" he screamed. Giovanni saw the coin. "So, you retrieved Persian's coin?" He thought for awhile. "I think I know what I shall do to you," he grinned. "I need a new Meowth...Where's that new invention of mine?"

Matt's eyes widened in horror as a huge, scary-looking machine was rolled into the room. It was big and had many wires and gadgets on it. The boy gasped.

"You like Meowth so much, you'll become one!"

Matt was strapped into the machine. Before his own eyes, he grew fur and claws. The coin attached to his forehead. Matt screamed in pain as Giovanni laughed wickedly. "The one and only talking Pokemon!"

Matt turned to Meowth. "He screamed. "Noooooooooooooooo!"


Chapter 9 -"Rocket Princess"

The Light of Queen Jessica looked to Serena, Darien, and the rest. "I truly hope you are not too upset about this,"

Mina smiled. "Stuff like this happens to us all the time!" The rest of the group nodded in agreement.

Serena smiled mischievously. "Yeah. How often do people get to see their own daughters come from the Future and have them be such little ingrates?"

Reenie kicked Serena in the shin. Serena wailed. "Well, you're not my mommy from the Future. She's way better than you, Serena!" Serena choked back Anime tears. "But I AM Neo Queen Serenity...Your mother!"

Everyone groaned as the two fought again.

The Light glanced around the area. "Speaking of mothers and daughters, where is mine?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessie and James sat together, leaning against the pillar and in each other's arms. Never had Jessie felt so much peace in her whole life. This day had revealed many shocking and sad pictures of her past, and now she was relaxing. Endymion meant nothing to her anymore. She opened her eyes and smiled. "Guess it's almost time to go home..."

"Almost," came a voice. It was the Light. "But we must get one matter straight, first."

Jessie blinked and stood up. "What are you talking about?" she addressed the Light.

"I'm talking about you, Jessica. You have royal blood flowing through your veins." Jessie listened silently, not knowing where her 'mother' was leading at. "You are a Princess, and you need to act like one! Belonging to Team Rocket was fine while you were waiting, but now you must follow your destiny."

"My destiny?" Jessie said angrily. "You mean...Leave Team Rocket?"

"Exactly! And find some man of worthy importance. A Princess deserves only the best."

Princess Jessie's mind went blank. Some man worthy of importance? SOME man? She looked over at the sleeping James. "Someone else?"

The Light seemed to beam with pride. "The daughter of a Queen should have the finest quality the world has to offer. Serena is Sailor Moon, and destined to become Queen of Crystal Tokyo. King Endymion will rule by her side. You will join them with a King of your own."

Jessie clenched her fists and fought back tears. Through clenched teeth, she said, "I only want James..."

"Him?" the Light laughed. "But he is a low-life! A stupid wimp who cannot do anything for you. Jessica, you shall have a fine Prince."

"JAMES IS MY PRINCE!" Jessie yelled so loud that it woke James. He opened his eyes and rubbed them. Jessie ran to his side. "You cannot take him from me," She spat the last word out. "Mother!"

"What's going on?" A wide-eyed James asked.

"Clueless," The Light sniffed. This was not going well at all. "Jessica, I only wish for your happiness."

"I am happy!" Jessie sobbed. "I like being evil and working for Team Rocket. I like being with Meowth and James. Sure, our adventures may seem pointless and we always lose...But I have a lot of fun. I'm a Pokemon Trainer, not a Princess."

Mother gazed at her daughter. She really loved being a commoner and being evil. "If...That's what you want..."

"I do! This is exactly what I want..." Jessie rejoined the Light. "Being a beautiful Princess is great, but being free and happy is more important to me."

The Light nodded. "I see...Then, there is no more use for you here."

Jessie looked at it. The Light was...Crying. "Mom..." She ran up and hugged the Light. "I'm sorry, but I really must remain in my normal life. I love you so much, and I'm glad I was able to meet you."

"Me too," the Light sobbed. "I love you, my dearest daughter. I understand..." With that, it disappeared, never to be seen again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessie found herself floating in space again. James and Meowth were beside her, and the golden, crescent Moon on her forehead was gone. "I guess we're on our way home..." Meowth nodded. "Yeah..."

"It was fun while it lasted," James sighed.

Jessie smiled. "To tell the truth, James, I had a lot more fun on Earth."


Chapter 10 -"Choices"

Serena woke up in her bed late at night. Reenie lay beside her, eyes wide and fixed upon the ceiling. "Reenie?"

Reenie looked back at Serena. "Did it really happen? Did we really go back to the Moon Kingdom?"

"Yes," Serena reached over and hugged the Small Lady. Reenie was in shock. "It did happen, Reenie. We were on the Moon."

"But what about...Princess Jessie?"

The young teenager gazed out the window of her bedroom, still holding Reenie in her arms. "Jessie...We're so alike, yet so different. I don't know where she is."

"Ouch!" came a muffled voice. "Help me! Help me!"

Jessie looked up from the place she was sleeping. It was the middle of the night and she was in the park leaning against the same tree she had been before her excursion. She got up and stretched. "Ah! It's good to be back on Earth..."

"JESSIE!"

"What?" Jessie looked up once again, this time in the tree. There was a blubbering James caught on a branch by his belt. "How the Hell did you get way up there?"

James whined. "I dunno! Just GET ME DOWN!"

"Why do I even bother?" Jessie sighed as she leaned against the tree. "Hey...Where's Meowth?" She walked off in search of him.

"Hey...Wait a minute...Jessie, where're you going? Aren't you gonna help me?" No answer. "JESSIE!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meowth crouched in front of the park's lake. He sat, skipping a few stones. Jessie walked up and sat beside him. "What's up with you?"

Meowth sighed heavily.

"C'mon, Meowth," Jessie tried again.

Meowth sighed heavily.

"You're not going to tell me?"

"You wouldn't understand..."

At least that gave some response. Jessie petted Meowth. Meowth purred as she scratched him behind the ears. "Please, mister big Top Cat," Jessie smiled. "What's eatin' you?"

Meowth suddenly pulled away. "Meowth don't wanna talk about it..."

"You're the most stubborn Pokemon!" Jessie groaned as she threw her hands up in frustration. Then, she remembered. "Oh...I left James hanging in a tree!" Meowth got a sweatdrop. "Be right back!" She ran off.

The little Pokemon curled up into a ball and fell asleep by the lake. They could never understand! They could never feel his pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Darien was in the middle of his morning jog through the park when something caught his eye. He saw Jessie and James leaning against a tree, sleeping quite soundly. "Those two are weird!" he said as he ran up to greet them. Darien sort of nudged them with his foot. "Hey, you two, don't mind catching colds?"


"Endy? Now, that's a new one!" Darien laughed. "Actually, I'm glad I caught you here. Serena told me early this morning that she was worried about you and wanted to see you." Jessie nodded sheepishly. "Uhhh...Ok! So..."

James stirred. Soon he woke up and brought himself to a sitting position. "Hello, mister Endymion, sir," he said groggily. "Nighty-night..." And he would've gone back to sleep if Jessie hadn't kicked him. James got heavy-duty tears. "That hurt, Jessie, and I've had a really hard night! I was stuck in a tree, for crying out loud!"

"...As I was saying before I was so RUDELY interrupted," James whimpered. Jessie continued. "...Where does Serena live?"

Reenie sat outside playing with Luna. They suddenly heard footsteps coming down the street. "Who's there?" Reenie asked. She saw Darien poke his head through the gate. "Darien!"

"Hiya, Reenie! We've got guests..."

Reenie and Luna then noticed Jessie and James. "Princess..." Luna said and quickly rushed into the house to get Serena. The meatball-head was soon dragged out of bed and pulled downstairs. Luna glared at her. "Ahem, Serena...Can't you show a little respect?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever," Serena yawned. Then, when she saw Jessie, she immediately snapped out of her tiredness. "Jessie-chan!"

"Serena-chan!"

The two hugged, which everyone thought was a touching moment. "Jessie, I'm glad you're here," Serena smiled. She then acknowledged James. "Uh, hello!"

"Howdy!" James said enthusiastically. "You got anything to eat? I'm starved!"

"JAMES!" Jessie groaned. "Manners..."

"But, we don't have manners, Jessie...We're evil..."

Serena's eyes wobbled. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Jessie-chan,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two were left alone in Serena's room. Jessie sat on Serena's bed, while Serena sat in a chair by her desk. Both were solemn. It was hard to make decisions.

"Please stay here and become good. Then, you can be with me when I rule Crystal Tokyo."

"I cannot do that. Being evil is in my blood..."

"No, it isn't!" Serena protested. "You were born into my family."

"Serena, that was over a thousand years ago."

"That doesn't matter!"

Jessie let her eyes wander to the floor. "Do you possibly think I could give up James?" Serena also looked to the ground. "Do you think I could just abandon Team Rocket? I've got a job to do. Sure, it may be evil, but it is what I enjoy doing. I'm a Pokemon Trainer, not a Sailor Scout."

Serena began to cry. "But, Jessie, you're my best friend." Jessie nodded. Then she let her tears flow also. Serena stood up, walked to the bed, and hugged Jessie. "I don't want to lose you again!"

"It's okay..." Jessie cried. "Maybe someday, we'll be together again. But..." Jessie stood up and wiped away her tears. "I have a job to do." Serena looked up at her with wide eyes. "It's my job to steal Pokemon, just how it is your job to protect the Earth!"

"Jessie?"

"As different as our lives are, we'll always be linked." Jessie smiled. "Right?"

Serena's face lit up. "R-Right!" She laughed and hugged Jessie again.

Jessie laughed too. "Someday, I'll teach you the official Team Rocket Speech!"

"And I'll show you a few Sailor Moon poses!" The smiling faces beamed at each other. Then, they broke down and cried again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meowth wound up finding Serena's house and waited there until Jessie was finished. James and Reenie each had a Pocket GameBoy and were linked by cord. They were fighting each other in a Pokemon match, and Reenie won, much to the dismay of James and disgust of Meowth.

"She doesn't even know about Pokemon as much as you, you idiot!"

But all faces turned when Serena and Jessie walked down the stairs. Their eyes were red and their cheeks drenched with tears. It was obvious Jessie wanted to keep the good-byes short. Serena wanted them longer, but Darien held her back.

"James, Meowth, let's go! It's time for Team Rocket to blast off again!" James and Meowth watched Jessie sadly as she walked out the door.

Serena waved good-bye. "We'll meet again someday." Without anymore words, Team Rocket was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where are we off to now, Jessie?" James asked once the three of them were riding in their big Meowth Balloon.

"I guess on to more adventures, James," Jessie laughed. Then she clenched her fists. "We still need to capture that Pikachu!"

"Dat's da spirit!" Meowth chimed in. "Let's go!" James laughed evilly. Jessie walked over to the other side of the balloon.

While Meowth was busy navigating, James joined her. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Jessie said, but James noticed her trying to hide her tears.

"Sure..." James sighed. Jessie couldn't take it anymore. She quickly buried her head on James' shoulder. James didn't really know how this love 'stuff' worked. He got a sweatdrop as he patted Jessie on the shoulder. "Heh...Heh...It'll be alright."

Jessie looked up into his bright, clueless eyes. She smiled. "Thank you..."

"For what?" "For just being you!" she laughed. "You're so funny...And wonderful," James felt proud. "Yeah...I guess I am wonderful!" He hugged Jessie closer. "But I just have one little question..."

"Yes, James?"

"What was with that Light you claimed to have seen?"

She could not believe this. She simply could NOT believe this. Jessie grew little veins all over her forehead. "Grrr..."

"I mean, what do you think you saw?"

"IT WAS MY MOTHER! THE LIGHT I ACTUALLY SAW WAS QUEEN JESSICA!" James was nearly ejected out of the balloon. Some romantic-type he turned out to be. But Jessie told herself she would fix that!

The End


Epilogue

Neo Queen Serenity ran through the halls of her palace. Guests were coming. Crystal Tokyo had to be perfect. As she was running, she bumped into a beautiful Scout, dressed in red.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Excuse me, Your Majesty," the girl said.

"Sailor Mars," Neo Queen Serenity said in a highly excited tone. "She's coming!"

"Who?"

But it was too late. Neo Queen Serenity had already rushed by her. She was so happy. "I cannot wait until they arrive," Serenity grinned.

"Mommy!"

Serenity stopped and looked behind her. "Yes, Reenie?"

A little girl with odd-looking pink hair rushed to Serenity and gave her a hug. "Mommy! You're so happy."

"Yes, I am, darling," Serenity said as she lifted the girl off the ground. "We have guests coming today."

"Guests? Oh boy, Mommy!" Reenie wriggled out of her mother's arms. "I love guests. Who are they?"

Neo Queen Serenity winked. "It's a surprise."

Reenie jumped up and down with enthusiasm. "I love surprises, too!"

"Why don't you go find daddy and help him get ready?"

"I sure will, mommy!" Reenie said as she ran off to find King Endymion. Soon, trumpets were blown. Serenity could hardly stand it. They were here!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Announcing...Lady Jessie and Lord James!"

Jessie walked into the chamber. She had never been in a royal palace before, not since her life on the Moon Kingdom. She wore a long, red gown and white gloves. A bright Crescent Moon shone on her forehead. James followed, straightening up his bow-tie as he walked. He wore a shiny tuxedo and had a rose in its top pocket. "James, hurry..." Jessie said, trying to hide her excitement. Then she saw the bow-tie. "Argh...You got it all wrong!" She straightened it out for him.

"Thank you, Jessie..." James smiled. "But, I have a question..." Jessie prepared herself. James' questions weren't always the smartest. "Aren't Lords supposed to come BEFORE the Ladies?"

"I won't strangle you now...I'll wait 'till we get home..."

"Announcing...Squire Matthew!" A neatly dressed young man entered the parlor. He was a slight taller than James, with brown hair and blue eyes. Around his neck, he wore a thin gold chain with a gold coin on it. "Hey! Wait for me, youse guys!"

Jessie looked behind her. "Matt...getting into trouble again?"

The man grinned mischievously. "What do ya mean 'again'? I wasn't in trouble since we kicked ol' Gio and his Persian outta Team Rocket!" The three laughed.

"Jessie!"

Time stopped. Everything around Jessie disappeared. "Serena?"

Author's Notes

Let me start by saying...THIS DOES NOT FOLLOW THE ANIME! O_o Yes, I am well aware that James was born to a rich family. I am well aware that Meowth was never human, but taught himself how to talk, walk, and such to impress a female Meowth. Yes, I know Jessie was born from a very poor family. I don't care! I wrote this because I liked the idea of Jessie being a Princess. I am sorry to those who like to criticize and point, saying "That's not how the story goes!". If you don't like it, don't read it. Thank you!
