Meowth's Point Of View
I was in a cold, dark place, a place I hated, a pokeball. There is nothing worse then being trapped in one of these things. I couldn't believe those two, I suppose they thought it would be funny, well ha ha I wasn't laughing. When I got out of this thing I'd show them the meaning of pain, a few Fury Swipes round the head should do it.
Now don't get me wrong I think the world of Jess and Jim but sometimes they could be really dumb, this was one of those times. Then I could feel the pokeball opening, feel myself being sucked out, this feeling is almost as bad as being in the ball itself. I got ready to launch myself at them as soon as my body had formed again before realising that I wasn't in the cabin anymore, I was in The Boss's office.
He stood holding the ball I'd been in, that stupid Persian sat beside him grinning at me as if it knew something I didn't. I looked around and noticed that they weren't here with me, what was going on?. I turned to look at The Boss, He was smiling down at me and I felt fear grip at my heart, when The Boss smiled you knew something bad was gonna happen.
"I sorry to inform you that your partners are dead." he said to me in that strangely distorted voice of his and I felt panic grip my heart, no they couldn't be dead could they?
"How? What happened Boss?" I asked him trying to keep the fear out of my voice.
"There was a fire, burnt down the whole cabin, only you and the other pokemon survived." He said coldly and I knew he was lying but why?
"How'd I get in that ball?" I asked softly.
"Don't know," He answered, "One of them must have thrown it at you, to try and save you."
He smiled at me and I felt sick, I could see the Persian trying hard not to snigger and suddenly I could guess what had happened. He had them killed, I tried to hold back the tears but I couldn't they rolled down my face soaking my fur.
The Boss smiled again and I could tell he was enjoying this, "Now," he said, "I'm going to assign you to a new team."
"What?" I asked in a choked voice, "Who's?"
"You will go with Mondo and his partner Cleo."
I nodded, that wouldn't be to bad I guessed, Mondo wasn't a bad kid and he'd be upset about this too, he idolised Jess. "What about the others?" I asked.
"Their other pokemon have been given to Butch and Cassidy as a reward for a job well done."
I nodded, I understood what he was telling me, I now knew who had killed by friends. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, The Boss pressed a button on his desk and the door swung open. Mondo walked in, his hair was a mess, eyes red from crying, he smiled softly at me before turning to greet The Boss. "Sir you wanted to see me?"
The Boss nodded before answering, "I want you to look after Meowth for me, I know together you will be able to come to terms with your loss."
Mondo nodded, walked over to me, picked me up and hugged to his chest. I buried my head into his chest and sobbed softly. He thanked The Boss for the honour of being able to look after me and then we left the office, as the door swung shut behind us I could have sworn I heard the pair of them laughing in there.
Mondo carried me down to his room, where his partner was waiting for us. The Boss had paired them up 2 years ago we hadn't really seen much of Mondo since then, this wasn't how our reunion was suppose to be like.
His partner was sitting on his bed holding a couple of beers, she was a pretty girl, long blonde hair platted down her back and bright green eyes that reminded me of James.
Mondo put me down on the bed and took one of the bottles of the girl, she smiled down at me and said, "You must be Meowth right? I've heard so much about you from Mondo."
"Yeah I'm Meowth. Glad ta meet ya, just wish it could be under happier circumstances."
She nodded, "I know what you mean, I always wanted to meet the great Jessie and James, I guess I won't have a chance now."
The great Jessie and James, who had she been listening to, we had never been the great anything apart from maybe failures. We sat there for a while, the two humans drinking their beer, me sitting in between them thinking of my lost friends and crying softly.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Mondo sighed and got up, opened the door and gasped in surprise. I glanced over at the door and growled softly, Butch and Cassidy were standing there. Well let me tell you, I was ready to charge of there and Fury Swipe them out of existence, but I couldn't 'cause of Mondo. I couldn't let him know what had really happened it would break his heart if he knew.
Cassidy smiled softly and said, "We just thought we'd come down and tell you how sorry we are. We just heard the news you see."
"I thought you didn't like them." Mondo replied, good for him I thought. Cassidy seemed confused for a moment before answering. "We didn't but that doesn't mean we wanted them dead."
She then removed one of the pokeballs from her belt and handed it to Mondo, "I know that The Boss gave this to us, but I think Jessie would rather you look after it."
"What is it?" he asked.
"Jessie's Arbok." Cassidy replied softly. I looked at her in shock, she was giving up a powerful pokemon strange, very strange.
Mondo clipped to his belt and nodded, "I think Jessie would appreciate the thought. Thank you."
Cassidy nodded, "Well we've got to go, another mission, you know what it's like. Take good care of yourselves."
With that they turned away from the door and started walking down the corridor. I stared after them, what was that all about? It was as if they were really upset about all this but that couldn't me right could it? I sighed this was getting very complicated all of a sudden.
Mondo sat down on the bed again and patted me on the head. I hated it when he did that but at the moment it was strangely comforting. Cleo disappeared into the small kitchen that each room had and come back with a couple more bottles of beer. She handed one to Mondo before sitting down herself.
We spent the night like that, those two drinking, the three of us talking about Jess and James. We laughed at the funny stories, cried too lots of times as we reminded each other of things we'd forgotten. Cleo adding things she'd heard from other people, good and bad stuff, the rumours, everything.
All in all, it was a good way of saying goodbye to the two people who had been the best friends a Meowth could ever have. I think I must have drifted of to sleep because when I was aware again the sun was shinning in from one of the windows. I looked at my new team mates. They were fast asleep, wrapped in each others arms, I smiled softly they looked so sweet like that and I hoped that where ever Jess and Jim where they were happy.
I knew that one day I would get revenge on those who had taken my friends away but for now I would be content in travelling with these two at least they understood my loss as well. I wiped at my eyes which had began to fill with tears once more, climbed upon the two sleeping humans and cried myself to sleep once more.
