The Queen & The Curse

Choosing Sides

Note:
So far we've seen Brock take out a group of goons, and a second group of goons ambush Misty, only to be taken down by Gary. Misty isn't looking too good and Gary is hiding with her in the woods.
Now let's turn our attention back to Clemont, who as you might remember, we left back in the dungeon.

Just a little bit more. I've got to free these people. But these computers are encrypted with a code I've never seen before. It feels like I've been at it for hours. But it's only been maybe 30 minutes. I've got to get this done. I've got to get back to Bonnie.
Clemont was working his brain overtime typing away at his keyboard trying to disable the dungeons electricity. He had found a way to shut the main power off, the problem was the back up generators.
If i can't figure out how to shut these backup generators off then it wont matter if I shut down the power. There will only be a 30 second delay and that's not long enough time to get everyone out.
Wait!! I have an idea!!!
BOOM!!!
Ha! I've done it. I used science to deactivate both the main and back up generators!!!
"Science twerp!!!"
"TEAM ROCKET!!! What are you doing here?!"
"I'd say prepare for trouble but you're already in it" Jessie began their intro rhyme...
"That's right!" James followed.
"Hey, don't steal my line!" Meowth started, "listen twerp, we've decided to help you. There's no way the queen can beat you all, not with the twerp and twerpette and you together, even the boss couldn't do that."
"Right!" James chimed in.
Jessie spoke next, "we've decided to tell you the truth. James, you tell them!"
"See it's like this, when we joined team Rocket it's because we had no where else to go. I was a runaway and Jessie was an orphan and meowth well, he had a lot going on. We've wanted to leave for years."
"Then why haven't you?" Clemomt asked James.
Meowth took the opportunity to answer. "Because team Rocket has a rule....it's easy to join, bit you can never leave. If you try to leave, they kill you. You don't get to leave team Rocket ever, why do you think Jessie is an orphan?!"
"WAIT, you mean to tell me your parents were in team Rocket???" Clemont was astounded.
"Yes," Jessie hung her head low. "There's more, we never really wanted to steal Pikachu."
"Then why are you all always harassing us?!" Clemont inquired.
Jessie continued...
"You see the thing is, my mother, she was the best agent team Rocket ever had. She was also extremely beautiful! So beautiful in fact that the boss fell in love with her. He's my father. He sent my mother on a mission one day and she never returned. They found her remains a few years after that. The boss was devastated and went into a depression. He sent me to an orphanage and went to his hometown to get over his loss. He ran into a childhood friend and fell in love and had a son with her, my half brother. But when his new love asked him to give up team Rocket he fled leaving her to raise my brother alone. So I spent my years in an orphanage until I was old enough to join the team. When I was 15 the boss told me the name of my brother. I decided I wanted to keep watch over him and help him to become the best possible trainer. The best way to do that would be to put him through tests, trials, and other difficult situations and let him find a way to fix everything. "
"Jessie," Clemont began..."what's your brothers name?"
"You mean you haven't figured it out?! ASH IS MY BROTHER GIOVANNI IS BOTH OF OUR FATHER!!!"
"OH MY ACURES!!!"
Clemomt wasn't sure how to take in this info, he wasn't sure he could trust Jessie until she showed him a photo of a young Giovanni and Delia, Ashs mother.
"The boss doesn't realize that the twerp is his son. Jes planning on killing all of you." James stated solemnly.
"Now you might think I'm a bad person but everything I've done was for the benefit of MY little brother. Why do you think when things were truly serious we were always there to help? I just want ash to get stronger, I dont want anything bad to happen to him. I won't let our father kill him."
Can I trust them? They seem genuine. Jessie is crying, I don't think I've ever seen her cry. Hmmmmm. Ok I could use the help and if she really is Ashs sister, I'm sure he'll want to know.
"Ok if you really want to help, help me get these people free. Then we need to get to the castle and help Ash get Serena into the Queen's chambers.
"RIGHT!" The three said in unison.
"James, meowth, if you do this, there will be a rocket bounty on your heads, go back to headquarters and keep yourselves out of harm's way."
"Are you mental?!" Meowth blurted out.
"Really Jessie, after everything we've been through together you really think we're letting you do this alone? We're going with you!" James hollered.
"Yea to hell with team Rocket, yous two are the only team I need!" Meowth finished.

Clemont began speaking next..."alright then... let's get tgese people out of here."
