A Team Rocket Story (Name in Progress)

Chapter 8

I didn't really sleep but a while later, it was time for us to go get clocked in. I got up and walked over to Meowth who was awake as well, standing in the window. Meowth stretched just as I made it over to him, "Morning Tessie." He said, running his paw over the little coin on his head.

"You're finally ready to wake up?" I said with a slight laugh.

Meowth shrugged, "If I didn't have a job, I wouldn't be."

I laughed again and walked back to the bed where James was still asleep, with his back facing me now, "Its time to wake up, sleeping beauty." I told him pulling on his ponytail.

His right arm swung up behind him and he started To pull his hair back, "I'm working on it." He grumbled.

I sighed, "James let's go, I've gotta talk to the boss pretty soon."

"Go on without me." He started to sit up, his back still to me, "I'll get up, I'll get up."

"Alright, but by the time I get back you better be dressed." I told him as I walked to his dorm rooms door, "I'm starting to sound like how my mother used to." I said as I walked out.

I walked down the hall, out of the dorms and to the Boss's office. I put my info into the pad and walked inside. I was instantly recognized again, "Tessie, just who I wanted to see."

"Hello, sir." I nodded to him, "I was going to meet you earlier, I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's quite alright." He stood up, "I have a job for you."

"What is it?"

"It's up to you if you want to take James and Meowth, but there's a party I'd like you to attend." He walked in front of his desk and held an envelope to me, "It's a royal Pokemon party being held for a prince.... How old are you?"

"Seventeen sir."

"I want you to attend, and claim you're my daughter Roseanne. You're a princess, and I need you to steal as many Pokemon as you can, but more importantly I need you to get close to the prince and steal the Prince's prized Pokemon." He also handed me a picture of the Prince with his Pokemon, "It's a Pachirisu."

The boy had Royal blue hair and...to cut it short he looked a lot like James, just younger, "Alright sir... I'll see to it."

"And bring your Pokemon. The party is more than just that, it's a tournament between princesses. The winner dances with the Prince at the end of the party, and wins prize money." Giovannie said.

I took the papers and left, "I'll get ready soon, sir."

"Thank you Tessie," he said, "I'm counting on you. I'll send Houston and Kirimi as backups."

At that I left. I walked back to James room and walked in, "James we got a job."

Meowth was in the polishing his coin, as he told me, "He's in the bathroom, give him a bit."

I nodded, "Alright then."

"So what's the Job?" He asked as he put the coin back on his head.

"You can read right?" I asked, earning a nod from the cat. I took the pages out and gave them to Meowth. I started explaining things to Meowth just as James came out of the bathroom. His hair was wet, with a towel draped around his neck, he had his uniforms bottoms on, but once again, he was shirtless.

"Oh you're back," James said as he walked over to his dresser and pulled out the top half of his uniform, "I'm sorry I'm not dressed, like I told you I'd be." He said with a wink.

My face flushed slightly, "W-whatever... Anyways.. I-I've got a job for us."

James smirked, "What is it this time?" He still sounded tired.

Meowth started telling James like he knew every little detail, "Apparently there's a party going on tonight at some palace and we have to steal the Royal Pachirisu as well as have Tessie, here, win the tournament."

"And you two are going as well."

James nodded, pulling his shirt over his head, "Alright. When are we leaving?"

"As soon as we eat."

James pulled his gloves over his hands, "Okay, then let's go."

We left the room and headed to the cafeteria, we got a quick bite, and headed out. We took our bikes and headed off to countryside where the castle was. It was a pretty long drive. I had our disguises hidden away in one of the boxes in my sidecar, my Pokemon were strapped to my belt, and we had our devices for Pokemon snatching ready. It took nearly three hours. We stopped here and there for breaks, gas, and other essentials on our way. We passed through several towns; and were weary of the police stations in each city.

We finally made it to the city where the party was located, and it seemed to just be starting. I steered James off into the woods so we could park our bikes out there.

"Alright James, Meowth, I packed a disguise for both of you. James, you're going with me as my butler and Meowth; you're going to be my butlers, butler Pokemon." I told them and handed them their costumes. "The boss told me I'm acting as his daughter. If anyone asks, my name is Princess Roseanne, daughter of Giovanni."

Meowth slipped his littler butler uniform right on, "And what about me?"

I blinked, "Uh, well.. You're still Meowth..."

Meowth pouted, "Boo."

I turned to James, "Your name can be Sebastian, if anyone asks."

"Sebastian..? Like the name of that butler from the anime?" He asked, looking at the costume.

"That's not important right now." I told him, "Get changed and let's head in." I grabbed my dress and walked behind some bushes to change while James changed where he stood. My dress was Gray with dark blue and black lining and designs. It came with dark blue gloves and black heels, too. I got my dress, and everything else, on and walked back to him while putting my hair in a braid, "Alright, James I'll do your hair too.."

I looked at James who just got his suit on, and honestly, he looked pretty good for a butler, "Alright, I did put this on right, right?"

I blinked to stop myself from staring, "U-uh yeah. It looks fine, come here." I put my tiara on my head as James walked over to me and kneeled down in front of me, as I took his hair in my hands and tied it into a low ponytail leaving a few strands of his hair hanging in front, "Alright you're done."

James stood back him and smiled, "Thank you Princess Roseanne." He said with a wink and sudden voice change. "You look great, by the way." He sounded like a British butler.

I turned away, "Y-yeah, n-no problem. A-and uh Thanks.." I started to walk away. "let's get going.."

James grabbed me by my arm, "Not yet." I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, "Your braid is crooked," he paused and smiled, "I'll fix it for you, young mistress." He did a slight bow and turned me around and started fixing my hair. James was so into character, I was astounded and slightly embarrassed. It was like he was an actual butler.

Meowth snickered, "You two actually look like a butler and a princess.."

"Y-you think we can pull this off?" I asked with a blush.

Meowth nodded, "Absolutely!"

James finished with my hair, "And done, your braid is flawless now, my lady." He laughed.

"T-thanks Ja- Sebastian..." I stuttered, "Let's get going..." We walked out of the woods and started walking down the path to the castle. Meowth jumped onto James back before we started walking so he rode on James the whole way there. I wish I were as lucky as Meowth; the heels I was wearing were killing my ankles the whole way there.

James offered me his arm a little while before the gate, and escorted me inside, "So what now?" Meowth whispered.
