A Team Rocket Story (Name in Progress)

Chapter 27

I became friends with Clarity, and told her to call me if she ever needed anything before she left. I was surprised she was leaving right after she lost, but she did say she lived all the way in the Johto Region. After she was gone, I started looking at the battle brackets again. By what I seen, I had another battle today, but later at night. I was already set to battle someone named Grant, who won his first battle earlier before me.

I had a moment where a bunch of the other battlers started congratulating me, they all wanted pictures, so when I got the chance, during the pictures, I constantly snuck random people's poke'balls off their belts or whatever. Afterwards I decided to check up on James. I walked out of the lounge, and up to James and Meowth's shop. More people were lined up in front of it again, but The entire stand was sold out. People started to riot and James looked defenseless, "W-we can't really do anything, I'm really sorry about this!" He tried.

I sighed and stepped forward, "Everyone stop, leave him alone!" I said in my accented voice. Everyone stopped freaking out and looked at me, "Zane, can't help that we didn't bring enough things for everyone. I'll see what we can do as for this, but for now, you must leave him alone." I explained, "I will take some picture with you marvelous fans, in the meantime." I smiled at them.

James sighed in relief as everyone lined up in front of me for pictures. Once again, as I took pictures with my fans, I stole their Pokemon right off of them. And no one noticed the entire time.

Eventually the fans got their pictures, and all of them left. There was still a long while until I had to battle again, so James, Meowth and I decided to take our lunch break. All three of us went to a small cafe that wasn't far down the street after giving our Stolen Pokemon haul off to some helpers. I breathed heavily as I slid into one of the leather seated booths by the window.

James laughed a little as he sat across from me, with Meowth next to him, "What's wrong, Zaria?" He smirked.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm starting to regret wanting the publicity."

Meowth broke in, "Awe but why? You musta stolen, nearly a hundred and a half Pokemon off all those fans a yours."

"Oh, that's right!" James set his elbow on the table and rested his head on top of his intertwined fingers, "Where's that Delphox you fought against earlier?" He asked excitedly.

I put my feet on the bench I was on and looked away, "I..... I didn't... Exactly take it." A waitress started to walk over to us.

"Oh?" James raised an eyebrow.

Our waitress then asked us for our order, "What can I get you lovely two?" She smiled.

James smiled, excitedly, "A caramel macchiato please."

Rolling my eyes again, I told the waitress my order, "Just an EarlGray tea please. Oh and a glass of milk, for my Meowth." Meowth frowned and growled a little. I sighed, "With some honey and cookies for all of use, please."

She wrote our orders down and nodded, "They'll be out in a second!" She started to walk away then stopped, "Not to be rude, but might I add, you two look very cute together!"

"W-wait what? N-no we're not-" She was gone.

Jame just laughed, "We're not what~?"

He was enjoying this to much. I kicked him underneath the table. Hard. James cringed as I crossed my arms, "anything but partners." I said.

"For now at least~" James teased. He smiled and rolled his eyes, "Anyways."

Meowth put his paws on the table, "What about the Delcatty?"
