Paradise Pokeball System

Vol. 2 Chapter 52: Losers At Love

"Well, now we know that there ain't no way that is a human! I would bet my last Pokedime that big white Pokémon is our boy, Landon. He looks like a giant pure white human with wings! He is almost like that legendary Pokémon, Lugia! Just how did he manage to do that?" Meowth asked in a questioning tone, but the cat Pokémon had stars in its eyes.

"That is a really cool power! Imagine if I could become a Pokémon! I would be the coolest Pokémon ever!" James exclaimed with an evil, yet annoying laugh.

Jessie rolled her eyes and then pointed at James with a turned up nose. "You sound like you are looking to get caught. Is the idea of you becoming a woman that good that you are willing to be a Pokémon? What do you think will happen to your mind after being caught? Or did you forget what happens to wild Pokémon we catch? From what I have heard, all the people caught by this trainer fall in love with him. Is that something you will be willing to do? This is much more than just putting on a dress and pretending."

James turned his head and started playing with his hair, then he gave her a smile and winked. "Don't worry about me, I am just a good actor. I have always been the one to play the female roles, and I will do the same thing with this."

Jessie scoffed and crossed her arms. "Yeah, and then you end up falling in love with the man, and then you are a complete idiot who will get tossed aside. How many times have you gotten walked on or hurt because you let your feelings get in the way? Or didn't you learn anything from that monster of a woman, Jessebelle you were engaged to? You think this man that probably sleeps with anything that moves is going to somehow be different?"

"You aren't any better, with all your ex's and failed relationships! You just don't want to admit that this person is a lot more interesting that you let on! I know that you feel the pull he emits!" James snapped back, and Meowth covered his mouth, but then Jessie kicked him in the face.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to talk about that!" Jessie shouted, and then her and James both fell silent as they looked at each other, and then they both looked back at the fight.

Landon's Lugia-like form was firing beams of light from its wings, but the Flametalon couldn't block them or get out of the way. The burning bird Pokémon was forced to take the attack, but it wasn't done, and dove at Landon's form for another attack. Just before the Pokémon reached Landon, a barrier stopped the Flametalon, and then Landon's form blasted a cone of white energy from its mouth. The impact sent the Flametalon flying back, and then it fell to the ground as Landon's form slowly dropped as well.

The members of Team Rocket all watched in shock as Landon's massive white form shrank down back to his normal human form. His Pokémon girls crowded around him, but three had the distinct rainbow glow of a Pokémon that was ready to evolve. The group talked for a bit, but then all the girls disappeared into light that was absorbed into Landon's body. Then they watched him close his eyes, and then vanish into thin air.

"Wait, what?! What just happened? Where did he go?" Jessie demanded, and James shrugged.

"Maybe inside the Poke ball? We did just watch him disappear, and I can't think of any other reasonable explanation for it unless he can turn invisible, right?" James asked, and Jessie hit him.

"We ain't going to learn anything if we just hide over here! Let's wander over to the spot!" Meowth said, then stood up and started walking.

"Meowth! Stop!" Jessie scolded, but the cat Pokémon just kept walking.

"It will look suspicious if we don't walk up and act like we were passing by," James replied, and then followed the Pokémon.

The two were a little hesitant to leave their hiding spot, but eventually followed their Pokémon.

"What do you suppose is going on? I get how the Pokémon vanished, but he didn't even turn into energy. He just vanished, and now there is nothing but all these footprints," Jessie commented as they walked towards the spot.

"Who knows. All I know is that the Boss wants us to record his every move. I am guessing it has something to do with turning a Pokémon into a human," Meowth said, and Jessie scoffed.

"I know why, but I think he has some other motive. The way the boss was talking about his abilities made it seem like there is something else," Jessie stated, and James shrugged.

"Does it really matter? We are not the ones that will be dealing with him in the end. The boss just wants us to collect information, but I have a feeling that not even all of Team Rocket would be enough to deal with this guy," James commented, and Jessie smiled.

"So you finally are admitting that this is dangerous, and you are scared," Jessie mocked, and James shook his head.

"Nope, it just doesn't matter. I am a member of team rocket, and if the boss wants us to do something, then we are going to do it, and the results don't matter to us," James replied, and Jessie shook her head.

"So you would die for the boss if you had too?" She asked, and James nodded.

"Of course not, neither would you, you incorrigible woman," James said, and the two glared at each other.

Meowth shook his head as the two bickered. "It doesn't matter what ya feel about the guy, cause we got to try and get info so the boss can capture him. Hey, maybe we can convince him to change you two into Pokémon so that the boss might actually think you both are useful? The boss would be swooning after you both!"

“Or maybe we could just sell you to a circus and run away with the money!” Jessie snapped, trying to kick Meowth, but the Pokémon dodged out of the way.

"Or maybe we could just quit and have him help us start a new life. This might be the one chance we have to make a better future," James commented, and Jessie scowled.

"A better future? To be some trainers play thing? Did both of you forget what I said earlier about wild Pokémon being caught?" Jessie asked, and then glared at Meowth. "Do you really think you are different from any other Pokémon? What do you think will happen to our minds? I could already feel a pull from him that made me want to get closer. If we are caught, we will become nothing more than his servants!"
