They arrived in the kitchen and quickly set about putting some food together. They decided on hamburgers and chips, once it was cooked and eaten they dumped the plates in the sink vowing to wash them up later.
They then decided to head into the living room, Butch and Cassidy quickly claimed the sofa leaving Jessie and James to take the two chairs. Meowth jumped up on James' lap and curled up. James patted him on the head and smiled. “So,” Jessie said, “What are we gonna do now?”
“Whatta mean?” Meowth asked.
“Well it’s to early to go to bed, but to late to go outside.”
“I guess you’re right.” Cassidy said, “so has anyone got any bright ideas.”
“We could play a game?” Butch suggested.
“Like what?” Jessie asked, hoping it would end up being truth or dare that Meowth keep trying to get them to play.
Butch grinned and said, “Well I happened to notice a trivia pursuit box upstairs, I was thinking I could go grab the questions and we could have ourselves a little quiz.”
“That’s not such a bad idea,” James said, “Me and Jessie could be a team against you and Cassidy and Meowth could ask the questions.”
The others nodded in agreement and Butch dashed up stairs to grab the questions, a pen and same paper to write down the scores. While he was gone they rearranged themselves so that Meowth had a chair to himself, Jessie and James sat down next to the TV and Cassidy stayed on the sofa. Butch returned, handed the box of questions to Meowth and then sat down next to Cassidy.
“Right, I suppose we should sort out the rules.” Butch said.
The others nodded in agreement. “What I was thinking was Meowth could ask each team a question and they get it right then they get two points but if not then it goes to the other team and if they get it right then they get one point, does that sound fair?”
The others nodded and then they all turned their attention to Meowth who had opened the box and took out the first question card. “Okay, lets begin,” Meowth said, “I start with Butch and Cassidy so get ready.”
He cleared his throat and then began to read, “Name the different pokemon that Eevee can evolve into and their elements?”
Butch and Cassidy conferred quickly and then Cassidy said, “Jolteon element electric, Vapoureon element water, Flareon element fire, Burakki element dark and Eebi element psychic. I think that’s all of them.”
“Correct 2 points to you.”
Butch marked the score on the paper as Meowth pulled the next card out of the box. James hoped they would get an easy question, he’d never even heard of two of those Eevee evaluations. He turned his attention back to Meowth just in time to hear the question, “What moves does a Ditto learn?”
James grinned, they knew a lot about ditto’s seeing as their friend Mondo had one, so he answered the question, “It only has one move, Transform but once it’s transformed it has the moves of the pokemon it’s transformed into.”
“Correct.” Meowth said, reaching for the next card.
This went on for a couple of hours and neither team was really lagging behind and soon they were neck and neck. Butch grinned and said, “I believe it’s time to up the stakes a little, the first team to get a question wrong loses the game. Sound fair?”
“I guess.” said James, “Lets do it.”
Meowth picked up a card, turned to Jessie and James and read out the question, “How many evaluation stones are there and what are there names?”
James grinned, another question that wouldn’t be too hard for them, after all they had seen all the evaluation stones on their travels. He winked at Jessie and answered, “There’s five evaluation stones, Leaf, Fire, Water, Thunder and Moon stones.”
“Correct,” Meowth said, “Butch, Cassidy it’s your turn now.”
Meowth reached into the box and pulled out the next question card, he grinned and said, “Name the rarest pokemon?”
Butch and Cassidy groaned, they really had no idea what it was. They conversed in hushed whispers and then Cassidy asked, “Is it an Arcanine?”
“Sorry guys, that’s not right.” Meowth said, sadly.
Butch and Cassidy groaned again, James grinned, cried “We won I can’t believe we won.”
He then grabbed hold of Jessie and planted his lips on hers. He held her close as he kissed her, she was stiff with shock but soon she melted into the kiss. Her hands sneaked up and she pulled him close to her. They stayed like that until they heard the living room door shut as the other members of the group quickly exited the room.
Jessie and James continued to sit and stare at one another, unsure of what to say to one another and without another word Jessie climbed to her feet and dashed out of the room. James stayed where he was, staring at the door. He sighed loudly wondering what he had done that was so wrong. He stood up, his thoughts a mass of confusion. He opened the door and was surprised to find Butch waiting for him. The green haired man winked at him and said, “She went that way.”
He pointed towards the kitchen, “You should go after her.”
James nodded his thanks and dashed after her, knowing he had to make her see that he loved her.
