"What do we do now?" James said.

"What do we do??? We give it back to da kid!"

"No, I meen, what do we tell him? He is going to wonder why we are giving it back. Jesse? What do you think we should do? Jesse?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. Lets give it back."

"Is somthing bothering you?" James came over, he reached down to see if she had a cold,

"Owwwwwww, Jesse! That hurt!" Jesse had hit James on the head with a fan.

"I AM NOT SICK!!! GO AWAY!"

"Fine, I'm going to play with wheezing."

"Whheeeezing."

Wheezing blew smog all over Jesse.

"AHHHHH! YOU TUB OF-" Jesse took out Arbok.

"Attack Wheezing, Arbok!"

"Charrrrr...." Arbok fell over.

"Arbok? Get up!"

"Bok, Charrrrr.." Arbok tried to obay, but slumped down again.

"Arbok??" (James had put away Wheezing.)

Meowth came over. "Arbok says dat he's not fealin' good. He wants to get in his Pokeball."

"Make him tell me whats wrong!"

Meowth sighed. "Meowth, Meowth meow, Meoowwth."

"Charrrr,Charrr, bbok."

"He says he don't know."

"Arbok!?"

Arbok had suddenly slumped to the ground, and closed his eyes.

"Arbok! Wake up!" Jesse shook him, but nothing happenend.

"Get him to a Pokemon center!" James said, grabing his backpack.

"Arbok! Return!" Jesse took back Arbok.

Meowth was silent as they ran through the forest. He knew somthing that they didn't.

"Your Arbok is sick."

"Ah, you mean that he has a cold?"

"No."

Joy motioned for Jesse to come with her in her office.

"Your Arbok has Pokemon Electric Slowdown."

"And what does that meen?"

"Your Arbok is suffering from a silent disease, It happens when the Pokemon is shocked to much by electric type pokemon, and never brought to a Pokemon center. His cells are slowly beaking down"

"Can you heal him?"

"No, I'm sorry."

Jesse was silent when she came out of the office.

"What's goin' on Jesse?" Meowth asked.

Jesse walked over to James's backpack, and began to throw things out of it.

"Jesse!!!! That's my stuff!!!" James said, trying to catch it all. She pulled out a Pokeball, and opened it.

"Pikachu. PIKA!!!"

Jesse had grabbed Pikachu by the neck, and was atempting to choke him.

"Jesse! What's wrong?!" James yelled, trying to free Pikachu.

"THIS RAT!!!!" she screamed, flinging the now blue and fainted Pikachu across the room.

Jesse broke down, she slumped to the floor, and began to sob.

"Jesse......" James said, kneeling next to her.

"Get away from me....... just go....." She said.

James stood up.

"Jess, what did the doctor say?" James asked the now silent Jesse.

"She said, Arbok is dieing. She, she can't save him."

"He has P.E.S. That's it ain't it?" Meowth said. Jesse nodded, then kneeled on the floor again. Arbok was dieing. She could not do anything about him. he was going to die in a matter of weeks, Joy had said.

Jesse remembered getting Arbok years ago...............

"You have a choice. Ekans, Koffing, or Rattata." Govonni said.

"Humm, I think Rattata is stupid, and Koffing stinks, I'll take Ekans."

Govonni nodded, and handed her a pokeball.

"Come out Ekans!"

"Kannnsssss, Ekansssss."

"Now I'm ready to go-" Jesse said.

"Not yet, you need a partner." Govonni said.

"Oh."

"This is your partner, his name is James, he has a Koffing. and you also have Meowth."

"A Koffing?"

"Hi, I'm James, I have a Koff-"

"I know that, lets go."

Weeks later...

"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!!!!"

"Ekannnns."

"I hate messin' up all da time. And I think dat your Ekans thinks so too, Jesse."

"I think that our Pokemon need to evlove." James had said.

A short time after that, the Pokemon had both evolved. Jesse had thought at first there was somthing annoying about him.

"Charrrrbok!"

"You are not a Charbok! You are a Arbok!!! ARGGGGGG!!!!"

But soon Meowth told her that Arbok was unique, He was not just another Arbok, He was unique, just like Pikachu. Arbok had always been faithful. He always obeyed her.

"Jesse? Jesse? Hello?"

Jesse opened her eyes. she had been asleep. She was lieing on a couch in the Pokemon certer.

"What? Why was I asleep?"

"You were just sitting there, suddenly you fell over, and went to sleep." James said.

"Meowth. I think dat there might be some way to save Arbok." Meowth said.

"What?" Jesse sat up.

"It's blood cells are being broken down, But if we replace all of it's blood, it might be saved. but, the Pokemon would have to be killed that gave it's blood."

"That would be a lot of money." James said.

"I don't care!"

After asking Joy about it, she thought for a moment, then said, "I guess I could do it, but it WILL cost a lot of money."

"How much?"

"$2000"

"Oh. Thank you."

"That's two paychecks!!!" Jesse said, "We just gat paid, I have $1000, I need $1000 more."

"I'll give you my paycheck." James said.

"No! Really? Thanks so much!!"

"I'll do it because I care for...." James stopped.

"Who?"

"I care for Arbok, that what I meant to say." James said, turning red.

Jesse shoke her head. "You are strange James."
