You were all just awkwardly standing there, looking at each other.

"Ok, twerp, here's whats going to happen. You're going to walk right up those stairs, and you're gonna leave that Totodile behind."
Jessie bossed around.

"What are you, my mom?"

"Well, thank Arceus I'm not."

Jessie smiled.

"Jessie, how is arguing with the trainer we kidnapped going to convince them to give us their Totodile?"

"Well, it's not like you did a very good job!"

Jessie and James got into a full-scale argument in the middle of the room, while you and Totodile tried to sneak up the stairs and into your room without them noticing.

After sneaking quietly to your room and slowly closing the door, you collapsed on your bed with Totodile in your arms.

"Totodile, what are we gonna do?"

"Totodile?"

"Aww, don't be sad, buddy. It's not your fault."

...

"Totodile, I-I've been thinking, what if we just...join Team Rocket?"

"Toto-...dile?"

"I know, it's...it's really a last resort, but..."

You sighed.

"Oh, Totodile...What kind of trainer am I?"

"Totodile..."

He nuzzled his face into your chest.

"I love you too, Totodile."

You smiled.

You started dozing off while petting Totodile, and you were about to go to sleep when-

*knock knock knock*

...

"Oh, why even knock? I know you're just going to try to swipe my things again."

*creeeeeeaaaaak*

It was James, and he sat down on your bed as you scooted away in suspicion, holding your Totodile close.

"I know that Jessie can be mean, but she's a nice gal, really."

"Oh yeah, she sure seems nice,"
you said sarcastically.

"Team Rocket may be evil, but..."

He glanced around the room.

"Evil doesn't mean...mean, does it?"

"I-...I'm pretty sure it does..."
you replied.

James sighed.

"Well, anyway, Jessie told me not to tell you this, but we have a big heist planned tomorrow, and Jessie says that since I blew the last "big heist", I'm going to be the getaway driver instead, and will be locked in the getaway van, uhm...with you..."

"Wah???"

"W-well, obviously they aren't going to let you stay here alone, so you're going to have to stay in the getaway van with me to make sure that you don't escape."

"Well, it's not like I can get out of this, can I?"

You sighed.

"What time's the heist?"

"That-...is a great question."

"James! How could you not know the details of your own heist?!"

Suddenly, the door opened. It was Jessie.
