Jessie's Point Of View
When I woke up, James had already got up, this was beginning to get a habit with him. I slipped out of the bed and went to collect my clothes which I had left on the floor the night before but they were gone. I looked around in confusing thinking that maybe James had picked them up and put them on a chair but they weren't in the room.
All I could find was a long white skirt that went down nearly to the floor and a black T-shirt, knowing I couldn't leave the room in my underwear I put them on and was surprised to find that they fit. I left the room, and went to find James. He was in the kitchen chatting to May and Brock who was cooking breakfast.
He wasn't wearing his clothes either but a pair of brown jeans and a light blue T-shirt the same colour as my eyes. I guessed the clothes belonged to Brock so the ones I were wearing must have been May's. I asked them what had happened to my clothes and Brock said that they had decided it would be a good idea if we wore different stuff now we were going into hiding.
I nodded in agreement, he was right of course but they could have told me first. James walked over to where I was standing and slipped one of his arms round my waist pulling me closer to him and I snuggled up to him.
The smell of cooking bacon was filling the kitchen making my stomach grumble which got a laugh out of everyone. When the food was done we sat round the small table in the living room, and ate a large breakfast of bacon, eggs and fried bread, it was delicious and I told Brock so. He just blushed and said thanks.
After breakfast James and Brock went to wash up May asked me if I had decided how I was going to change my hair. I nodded and told her I would get it dyed brown and leave it down. She nodded and said that was a good idea. When the boys came back she asked James what he was going to do. He grinned and said he was going to dye it yellow. She agreed that this was a good idea as well and then she said she wanted to show us what we would be doing while we worked here. I said that was a probably a good idea.
So we got up and she lead us down into the labs, inside there was a large computer and rows and rows of shelves covered in pokeballs. I gasped softly, James too, we'd never seen so many pokeballs in one place before. Brock grinned and said that all these pokeballs belonged to trainers who had got there pokedexs from Professor Oak or from May.
I grinned that meant Ash's pokemon had to be here somewhere, Brock guessed what I was thinking as he told me Ash had taken all his pokemon out of storage here after Professor Oak had died leaving him and May in charge. I was shocked I'd had no idea the Professor was dead, I asked him what had happened and he told me that he'd been killed by pokemon thieves a couple of years ago.
James looked at me in horror, he knew what that meant, he'd been killed by Team Rocket but why? It was very rare indeed for The Boss, I mean our ex-boss to send teams to kill non-members so why had he done it? Well we both said how sorry we were, May smiled and said thank you and then began to tell us what we would be doing everyday.
She said that after breakfast we would come down here and run the pokeballs through the computer to check that the pokemon in side were still healthy. While one of us were doing that the other would be releasing them upstairs so that Brock could feed them and then she would be observing the pokemon and see how they reacted to each other out in the fields around the labs. Then we would all have dinner, and then we would all go out to the fields to feed the pokemon and make sure they were all OK. Then after tea we'd have the long job of returning all the pokemon to their balls and putting them back on the shelves.
To be honest it really didn't sound to bad at all, I would get to work with James and pokemon the two loves of my life and I told her so. She smiled at me and said we'd start work tomorrow and that for the rest of the day we would work on our disguises. I smiled this would be fun. As we started back up the stairs it was like walking into a new life, a better life then I had ever had before and I hoped we had both found somewhere we truly belonged.
