(Author's Rantings)------------------------------------------- This episode is weird. (Beginning of Story)------------------------------------------ Episode Twenty-Four: Reunited (The show opens as Jessie and James are about to fight Blaine for the Volcano Badge when the Narrator starts.) Narrator: We've followed the adventures of our friends for a long way now... if you remember the most recent episodes, well golly bob howdy, good for you! (Souding really sar- castic.) If you don't remember 'em, then READ 'em, stupid! I'm sick of telling you what happened "last time!" Do you realize that's all I do? ALL I EVER STINKIN' DO! I'm sick of it! SICK OF IT, DO YOU HEAR? NEVER AGAIN!!!! (Jessie, James, and Blaine are all looking up, surprised, at the Narrator's outburst.) Blaine: Does he do that all the time? James: Yes, actually. Narrator: I'm serious this time! I'm fed up with hiding in the shadows! Jessie: Yeah, yeah, that's great, Announcer-Man... Narrator: From now on, I'm my own Narrator! You won't have me to kick around anymore! WAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Jessie: Okay, we get the point, shut up! Narrator: I'm no longer your whipping boy! I ain't gonna' work on Maggie's Farm no more! Everyone: SHUT UP! Narrator: Okay. James: ::blinkblink:: Now where were we? Blaine: I believe I was yelling at you, explaining why I won't let you fight for the Badge, because you're the same theives who tried to steal Magmar from me! Jessie: (Folds her arms and looks away.) Geeze, you make one mistake and they never let you forget it... James: We're not thieves anymore! Blaine: That's as may be, but you're not getting the Badge! (He hops up and down like an idiot to prove his point. He doesn't succeed, but looks really stupid.) Jessie: (Whispers to James.) You want I should just steal the badge, honey? James: Jessie! Jessie: Hehehehe... =^_^;= James: Awww, come on, Mr. Blaine! We wanna' badge! Jessie: Besides, if we don't get one, the story will just kind of go on and on forever... Blaine: EEK! Well, we don't want that happening, do we? (He grabs a pokéball and tosses it in front of him.) Magmar! Get ready! Narrator: Hey, wait a minute... what about your Rhydon and Ninetails? Blaine: Oh? They're on vacation... (Suddenly, the image changes and we see Rhydon and Ninetails lying back on a beach, a huge wave starts to come toward them, and they scream and start running off. Back to Jess & Jim now...) Narrator: Oh... James: Alright, Growly! Do your best! Growly: GROOWWWWWWWWWLLL! (He scampers in excitedly.) Narrator: WHOA HEY! And I thought you left Growly at home! Jessie: We did, but he followed us anyway. We realized he was trailing right as we were leaving the Saffron gym. James: Isn't he just the cutest little thing? ^_^ (He gets all goofy and Jessie looks away in an embarrassed way.) Blaine: (Sits back on a beanbag chair and sips some lemonade.) Since you're obviously going to lose, I'll let you have the first shot. James: Gee, thanks, Mr. Pompous Gasbag! Blaine: Don't mention it. James: Growly, use Dig! That should win easily! Blaine: Uh... O o; Narrator: Dig? DIG? What kinda' stupid call is that? Jessie: It's a ground attack... Ground's strong against fire, every idiot knows that! Narrator: Well, I didn't know it... I must not be an idiot! YAY! (Growly takes out a shovel and puts on a miner's hat. He then digs a little hole in the ground as "Workin' on the Rail- Road" plays. Then he picks up Magmar and drops him in the hole, covers him with dirt, and stands on the little dirt pile happily.) Growly: ARF ARF! GROWWWWWWLithe! (Wags his tail.) James: Goooood boy, Growly! ^_^ Magmar: (His head is sticking out from the dirt.) Mar... Blaine: WHAT! (He jumps up and spills lemonade all over the beanbag.) Your growlithe beat Magmar with a simple DIG? You must have one SUPERpokémon! Jessie: That and the writer hates making writing pokémon bat- tles. Author: Very boring. (Nods.) Blaine: Oh, I see... Well, kid. Here's the Badge. Now get out of here, you bother me! James: WOOHOO! ^_^ (Later on, Jessie and James are relaxing in the hot springs on Cinnabar Island. Jessie is wearing a two-peice dark blue swimsuit --packed just for the occasion, of course--, and her hair is all drenched down [looks a lot better than when it's all gelled back, heh]. James is wearing dark blue swim trunks and apparently still has a few dull red scars from Jessebelle's whip. Their pokémon are all playing around and causing mischief.) Jessie: (Looks at James with a little bit of concern.) James, don't those scars hurt with all of this hot water? James: No, most of them are healed, actually. They just never cleared up... makes me look a little more rugged, don't you think? (Giggle.) Jessie: (Tries to think of how to answer.) Uh... y-yeah... (She gives him another concerned look.) Are you sure they don't hurt? James: Of course! Well, all except for this one on my chest. It stings a little... Jessie: Really? (The scene cuts to Growly watching them with semi-amusement. He looks a little bored and sighs a few times. The following sounds are heard over this scene.) James: Only a little... Jessie: Let me see! *SPLASH!* (James screams as if suffering unbearable pain.) Oh... sorry, sweetheart. (Meanwhile, Arbok, Weezing, and Lickitung are frolicking as well...) Lickitung: (Devious giggle.) Lickiiiii... *SPLASH!* Weezing: (Whining.) WEEEEEZing! Zing, wee! Weezing weezing! {Arbok! She splashed me! WAAAAHHH!!!} Arbok: (Points her --I'm pretty sure it's a she-- tail at Weezing and talks like Chief Wiggum from the Simpsons.) {Hey, you! Nobody likes a crybaby! So if someone splashes ya, ya just splash 'em right back!} (Back to James and Jessie.) James: (Wincing in agony.) I've been shot! Why, Jessie, whyyy? Jessie: Oh James, calm down! I just splashed you! James: Yeah, but it hurt... (Wipes a tear away.) Growly: Growlithe! Growl, growlithe grrrrl growlithe? {Master James! When can we go to the last gym?} Jessie: (She swims over and scratches Growly behind the ears.) We'll get there soon enough, Growly! We're just taking a little break! ^_^ James: And stop calling me "Master James!" You sound like Hopkins! Growly: Grrrowf! Growlithe growl. {Okiedokie.} James: It would be nice to see the gang again, though... Jessie: (Shrugs.) I suppose... but this is such a nice place. (She sighs dreamily.) James: (He grins at her and quirks his eyebrows.) I was think- ing of something even better for our honeymoon... and we can leave the pokémon behind... ^_^ Heheheh... Jessie: Ohhhh... I see! Hehehe... ^_^ Narrator: I'd prefer if you left me behind too! Both of them: I thought you were going to leave! Narrator: Well, I have no other place to go. (James sighs.) Jessie: Wait... if we're going to catch up with everyone... Where should we go? We never planned where to meet! O o; James: EEE! Good point! o O; (All of the pokémon look at them and say "What are we gonna' do?" in their own language.) James: HEY! I know! ^_^ Jessie: You have an idea? ^_^ (She hugs him.) James: Of course! Owch! That scar still hurts too! Jessie: Sorry... (She moves over a little and keeps hugging him.) James: We can just ask the Author where they are! After all, this IS just a D-rate fanfiction anyway! Jessie: (She squeals happily.) James, you're a genius! (Kisses him. James giggles. Meanwhile, the Author magically appears in a puff of smoke.) *POOF!* Author: Hey, one of you crazy kids ask for me? Narrator: They wanted to know how to meet up with the rest of the gang. Author: Oh. Yeah, sure. I needed to wrap everything together anyway... hold up a second... (There is a sudden electrical sound and the scene changes to Teem and Delet.) Delet: (Sitting next to Teem under a tree.) Say, Teem... You're a Saiyan... right? Teem: Well... partly... One of the scientists back at TR HQ took a blood test on me and my blood is at least 25% Saiyan. Delet: Then howcome you didn't turn into a big scary monster thingy last night when the moon was full? Teem: Oh, that's easy. I'm taking medication. Delet: No you aren't! Teem: Hehe! ^_^ Okay, I'm not. I don't really know why I don't do that, though. Delet: Mmm... (She nods, then turns her head sharply at Teem.) Kiss me, Teem! Teem: What? Why? Delet: You haven't kissed me within the last 10 minutes! I'm going crazy!!! @_@ Teem: Er... okay... (He kisses her, there's another zapping noise and the scene changes to Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu, and Meowth.) Ash: MEOWTH! Come on! Tell me where the last gym is!!! (He's gettin' all whiney and annoying-like.) Meowth: (Folding his arms.) Nope, not gonna' do it! > < Dexter: (Muttering.) Stupid kid... Ash: (Grabs Meowth by the throat.) TELL ME WHERE IT IS, YOU STUPID CAT!!! > <; Meowth: AAACK!!! @_@ Brock: Ash! Chill out! >_<; Misty: Leave Meowth alone! Pikachu: PIKACHU! (The zapping sound is heard again and Jessie and James' voices are heard screaming as they fall into the scene.) Jessie: EEEEEEEEEEK!!! OOF! > <; (She lands on Brock.) James: EEEEOOOOOOEEEEE!!! OOF! > <; (He lands on Jessie. Five pokéballs fall from the sky and land on their heads.) Both: Owch! OOH! Gah! Eee! OOF! Misty: ::blinkblink:: Hi, guys... Pikachu: Pika? Ash: James? Jessie? ::blink:: o O; Meowth: GGAGAGKKKK!!! ARKKGK! > <; (Turns blue.) Brock: (Blushes.) Gee, Jessie, you look pretty in that bikini! (James and Jessie get up, dust themselves off [Jessie slaps Brock], and are quite pleased that they didn't get any scratches or cuts. Growly hops out of his pokéball and tackles Pikachu playfully.) Growly: GROWF! Pikachu: PIKAHAHAHA! ^_^ (Before anyone can say anything else, there is another zap and Teem and Delet materialize, still kissing.) James: Hey! Howcome they didn't fall? Author: It was too sweet a moment to break up... Jessie: That's our writer... always the romanticist... - -; Teem: Hmm? (Looks over at everyone, blushes a dark reddish- purple and grins.) Oh... hi, guys! =^_^= Delet: (Smiling triumphantly.) Hi! ^_^ (Ash's jaw drops [as does Meowth, who begins gasping for air], Misty gets the light blue color to her face and Brock makes a disturbed face.) Delet: What's wrong with you guys? Teem: You look like you ate something that didn't agree with you... Brock: Teem... you're kissing a pokémon... Delet: I'm a Saiyan! > < Brock: You're a pokémon that looks like a Saiyan... Delet: SO? Misty: It's... kind of gross... Teem: (Looks at Delet.) I suppose they're right... Delet: NO THEY'RE NOT! Jessie: It really is kind of weird, Delet... Delet: Teem doesn't care! Do you, Teemy? Teem: Well... I... um... ^_^; Well... Delet: (Sigh.) Fine... (She takes a deep breath.) I have no other choice... (She starts to walk off.) Meowth: Delet! What are ya' doin? James: Sheesh! We just got reunited and Delet's leaving us! Jessie: James! James: Well, she is... Delet: No, I'm not... I just need some space for this... I've been trying to learn this new move... Ash: NEW MOVE? Will it help me win in the Pokémon Tournaments? Delet: No. Ash: Kuso! Delet: You might not want to watch... it's kind of gross. (They all spin around quickly with sweatdrops. By now, they've learned that if Teem or Delet think it's gross... it must be gross! True to what she said, there is a horribly gross tearing sound --as well as Delet's sudden shout of pain-- to which everyone cringes. The sound finally stops and Teem spins around fearfully and rushes up to hug Delet.) Teem: Delet! What did you just do? That sounded like it hurt a lot! Delet: It did, Teem... (She takes a short, sharp breath.) Could you please hold me? > <; Teem: Delet... I'm not going to fall for this again... Delet: I'm not joking, Teem! (Teem grabs her in fear that she might fall over, then she kisses his cheek and says "Got ya!" Everyone else turns around and gasps.) Teem: What? What? What happened? O o; (Everyone points down by his left foot. A delet is standing next to it.) Teem: GAH! DELET! You're down there! ... But you're right here! O o; What's going on? Brock: I sense a very bizarre, idiotic explanation about to occur... (Saiyan)Delet: I've split my Saiyan side and my animal side. I'm not a delet anymore... Brock: I told ya! Teem: So that's not you? (Points to the little animal that cuddles up to his boot.) (Saiyan)Delet: Nope. That's Delet. (Everyone gets a goofy look on their faces.) Growly: Growlithe? Ash: Delet... you're Delet. Pikachu: Kapikachu. Delet: (Shakes its head.) Delet let delet delet del! {Not any- more! I'm Delet!} ^_^ (Saiyan)Delet: Nope! ... although I do need a new name... Misty: How about Terra? ^_^ It sounds like Teem's name! Won't that be romantic? (She sighs and gets all starry-eyed.) Ash: How about... Teled? It's Delet backwards! ^_^ (Pikachu and Growly look at Ash, then shake their heads.) Meowth: What about Madonna? (Teem looks at Meowth as if he's gone mad.) James: How about Teem's Nameless Girlfriend? ^_^ Jessie: I refuse to participate in this stupid game! Brock: Me too! I feel all queasy inside from it... > < (Saiyan)Delet: How about Melissa? ^_^ (She smiles at Teem.) Teem: (Shrugs.) Works for me. Melissa: GREAT! (She kisses him again.) Meowth: So, Delet... ya' ain't got a t'ing for Teem anymore? Delet: (Looks shocked.) Let? Delet! Del delet let let del! {What? Ew, no! He's just my friend! Although...} (Toddles over to Pikachu.) Let delet... {You're kinda' cute...} Pikachu: PIKA!!! (He hides under Ash's hat.) (Jessie and Brock shake their heads and look at each other. Apparently, they are the only two who realize how odd this story has been.) Author: Sorry, guys. I wasn't very inspired this time. Jessie: That's all well and good, but where are the Narrator and our backpacks and stuff? Author: Oh yeah... hold on... (Zap!) (There is the sound of the Narrator screaming, a thud in some nearby bushes, the narrator saying "OWCH!", and the voices of Abra, Alex, Jolteon, Sirius, and Max all shouting in surprise.) Jessie: Thank you! ^_~ Author: Don't mention it, Jess! To Be Continued... Red Guy: What's this? I'm not even IN THIS EPISODE! Bry: Terrible... come on, buddy. Let's get a root beer...
